Search For Minerva Arc

The Search For Minerva Arc (ミネルヴァ探訪編) is the fourth story arc in The Promised Neverland series.

Emma, Ray, and the rest of the children have left the forest and are now traveling to locate the whereabouts of William Minerva. The search for the mysterious Minerva firstly leads them Shelter B06-32, and later to Goldy Pond.

Summary
This arc starts when Emma, Ray and Mister leave the Shelter B06-32 in search of Goldy Pond. After a 4-day journy Emma gets captured by poachers lead by the demon archduke Leuvis.

When the demons start their hunt for children, Emma saves three kids by the names of Theo, Monica, and Jake. After they run away however, Monica and Jake die leaving only the youngest brother Theo alive with a bloody axe. Emma finds Theo alone and he explains what happened.

After that Emma joins with the Goldy Pond Resistance, which mainly comprises of older kids with guns, as well as Adam, the giant who knows Norman's number, and Lucas, a man who only has one arm.

Lucas and Emma go into a secret passage created by Mr. Minerva. It is opened remotely by Mr. Minerva's pen. There they find a broken floating elevator on a golden pond that leads to the human world. They can't ride it however because it is broken. A phone rings where a recording of the real Minerva where he explains the way out, that this was once one of his bases, the promise, and the Seven walls.

Afterwards we get a chapter of explanation of what Norman is up to after he got adopted by the Ratri clan. The new facility is where he is being held where they do experiments on children.

The kids plan to kill all the demons by breaking their masks then shooting their heads. However this is difficult because Demons move at supersonic speeds and can react to bullets almost instantaniously. The other kids are much older, but because Emma is from Gracefield she is targeted the most. Once the demons find out that she is from Gracefield the next day they hunt again earlier than planned.

With the use of ambushes, electricity, and the super pistol, the kids defeat Leuvis and his minions. Afterwards they blow up the place and leave with 50 extra kids who were also being hunted.
