Summary

Robin opens her eyes to a swarm of dwarves clambering over her in search of anything dangerous. Leo warns her not to rise, and Kabu accuses her of casting weird magic. She remembers seizing Kabu just before an anesthetic flower felled both her and Usopp. The dwarves tell her that Green Bit's forest lies overhead, stitched to the earth by the Nui Nui no Mi and unable to flee. After she pledges to guard their secret, their initial suspicion melts into total belief, which throws her completely. When the Tontatta chief storms in demanding answers and Leo simply vouches for her, the chief accepts it instantly, leaving Robin baffled once more.

Aware the exchange is approaching, Robin requests her Den Den Mushi, only to hear it was set loose into the wild. The dwarves insist a genuinely good person would surrender her weapons, and when she protests she has none, they decide to strip her and attack. A dwarf named Flapper steps in and saves her, announcing she is the ally of the legendary warrior who accompanied her. Robin understands the title to be one of Usopp's fabrications and wonders just what stories he spun.

Key Events

In Dressrosa, a half-conscious Sanji tells Violet he never questioned the tears she shed when she asked him to take a life, a confession that genuinely startles her. As Doflamingo's underlings prepare to kill him, Violet, touched by his faith, unleashes her Devil Fruit and downs them all. Grateful that he trusted an enemy, she lets Sanji peer into her mind to view her morning, then warns him a trap has already closed around them. At the Corrida Colosseum, Block C is set to begin and Luffy is hungry for the prize. Lost in reflection, Rebecca catches sight of Franky and Thunder Soldier dashing by and weeps as she knows the tin soldier. She cries out that she will win this time so they can reunite, but he reminds her a sobbing fighter never claims victory and tells Franky to press on. As she collapses to her knees, Law, two minutes from his meeting on Green Bit's beach, takes Sanji's urgent call warning that the swap is a trap.

Notes

The adaptation puts Block C's entrants on screen, including Luffy's run-in with the Fighting Bull and a brief spat that breaks out between the Chinjao Family and Kelly Funk. Flashes of Rebecca's history appear right before her exchange with Thunder Soldier, while the source placed those flashes earlier, back in the gladiator quarters as she talked with Luffy. When the dwarves overcome Usopp and Robin here, they fire pellets rather than fling powder as in the printed version. The needle Leo uses to fasten Robin to the ground is never depicted, Robin uniquely asks Leo if he wields a Devil Fruit, and after her release the dwarves offer her snacks. The episode draws on Chapters 711 and 712.
