Summary

Ignoring the scientist's warnings about Doflamingo, Luffy keeps hammering Caesar, dodging a steel-melting Gastille and replying with one more fist to the face. Five minutes are left before Shinokuni overruns building B, so the crew and their allies dash for building R, the spot holding their way off the island, though Zoro and Tashigi lag behind thanks to his terrible sense of direction, and Kin'emon hauls Brook the wrong way after hearing his son had become a dragon. Usopp arrives at building R first and ends up in the hidden room rigged with the gas trap.

Key Events

Inside the SAD room, Vergo berates Smoker for relying on his smoke form and shatters his jutte with a Haki-clad cane, oblivious to the fact that Smoker was merely buying time for Law to recover his heart. Heart back in place, Law radios Joker and warns that defeating Vergo and seizing Caesar will strip away his SAD supply and his command of the underworld. Doflamingo laughs that Law still fears an enraged Vergo, whose Haki guards every part of his body. Law disproves it by slicing the armored Vergo in two, his cut tearing through the SAD room together with the peak built around it. He proclaims that Marineford was only a prelude, that the Marines had held back from the great pirates while readying a new force, and that the wheels of the age have been jammed by his hand so firmly that nobody, Doflamingo included, can ever roll them backward.

Notes

Drawn from Chapters 690 and 693 and rated around 8.2, the episode lengthens Smoker's bout and adds touches such as Robin attributing Sind's dizziness to sedatives and additional footage of Chopper tending Mocha. The chapter-cover assembly of New World figures appears, and the opening blow against Caesar is reanimated into something far more vicious, breaking his nose and caving in part of his face.
