Episode 647 of One Piece exposes the cruelty hidden under Dressrosa's cheer. Thunder Soldier reveals how Doflamingo turns forgotten people into toys, while the dwarves disclose that five hundred of their kin are enslaved in a factory beneath the very Colosseum.
Impressed by Luffy's Supreme King Haki, Don Chinjao insists that the Pirate King must overpower every conqueror in the New World. Learning that Rayleigh trained the boy, the legendary pirate breaks down, striking Luffy and weeping that he refuses to dwell on the past. He then demands answers about what Garp did to him, but Luffy fires back that he knows nothing of his grandfather's earlier years and tells Chinjao to neither cry nor rage about it.
Disguised in town, Sanji and Kin'emon watch the fight while noting the Marines ringing the Colosseum, where Vice Admiral Bastille is baffled that not a single defeated fighter has emerged from Blocks A and B. Thunder Soldier explains to Franky that ten years ago Doflamingo imposed a midnight curfew and barred toys and humans from entering one another's homes. The reason surfaces in heartbreaking scenes: a toy claiming to be Esta's former boyfriend is hauled off as scrap, and a toy dog named Milo turns out to be a boy's forgotten father. Thunder Soldier reveals that every toy was once a human erased from memory by a Devil Fruit user in Doflamingo's employ. On Green Bit, Law struggles to hold off Issho and Doflamingo, and cannot reach Nami by Den Den Mushi. In the Tontatta Kingdom, Leo mistakes the tremors for Usopp's Haki and accidentally stitches his own grandmother to a shelf. When Usopp questions the coming war, Leo declares that five hundred dwarves, including Princess Mansherry, are held in the dark factory hidden beneath the Corrida Colosseum, right under Luffy's feet.

The clash between Luffy and Chinjao is extended, with Chinjao throwing several Haki-imbued punches, crying twice rather than once, alluding more directly to Garp reshaping his head, and using a spinning ground attack absent from the manga. Luffy defends a headbutt with Gomu Gomu no Fusen. When Thunder Soldier first names the Devil Fruit user behind the toy transformations, her silhouette is shown.
