Usopp, Robin, and the dwarves mobilize through the Tontatta Kingdom to rescue 500 captured comrades, learning their grudge against Dressrosa reaches back nine centuries. Below the island, Thunder Soldier marshals his toy army, while Nami is overwhelmed by Giolla's art powers.
Under Green Bit, Leo describes an underground route tying the island to Dressrosa, then guides Usopp and Robin to the Tontatta Airline terminal, where rideable insects and animals act as transport. The squad leader Kabu, head of the Yellow Kabu unit, can become a rhinoceros beetle through the Kabutomushi model of the Mushi Mushi no Mi, while Bian, who commands the Pink Bee squad, turns into a hornet by way of the Suzumebachi model. Since the two humans are far too large for the bugs, they instead ride the swift Linear Foxes. As the column moves out, chief Gancho emerges from Robin's chest to thank them and disclose that the Donquixote Family's quarrel with the dwarves began not a decade ago but a full nine hundred years earlier.
Over in Dressrosa, beneath a sunflower field, the Riku Royal Army of dwarves assembles under Thunder Soldier, who presents Franky to his fellow soldiers. Quick enough that the citizens dub them fairies, the dwarves bewilder the cyborg, who realizes these tiny fighters were the ones who made off with Zoro's sword. Zoro, already on hand and watching the tournament, gripes that Luffy left him behind. Word arrives that the foe and Sugar have been located, and that the legendary heroes Robiland and Usoland are inbound, along with a string of made-up names Usopp has been seeding. Recognizing he must hurry back to the Sunny for Nami, Zoro takes off.
Aboard the Thousand Sunny, Nami is being thrashed by Giolla, who reduces her Clima-Tact to a worthless trinket. Giolla clarifies that turning things into toys is another family member's trick, not hers, since her own gift converts objects into art, a power granted by the Ato Ato no Mi that remade her into an Art Human. Chopper's horns sprout into wings and Brook's Soul Solid is likewise distorted. As Giolla demands they pick an Artistic Death Penalty, a Den Den Mushi rings, carrying Law's order for the crew to make for Green Bit, where he will turn over Caesar, before he ends the call.
Outside the colosseum, Kin'emon roars his support for Luffy and earns a scolding from Sanji, defending himself by insisting that no man triumphs without cheers. Up on the surface of Green Bit, Doflamingo carves through rock and leans on a worn-out Law to return Caesar's heart, crowing that Luffy has stepped into his trap and that anyone who loses in the tournament will be cast straight to hell. Doflamingo then proclaims the alliance over.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...
The image of the Donquixote Family's persecution of the dwarves surfaces the instant Gancho first brings up their shared history, whereas the source withheld it until his fuller explanation, delivered only once the group had regrouped with Thunder Soldier inside the concealed base beneath the flower field. A new scene also shows Caesar telling Doflamingo that Law now holds his heart. The episode adapts Chapters 718 and 726.
Usoland is one of the exaggerated fake hero names Usopp invents for himself in episode 648, part of a running gag where he and Robin are hailed as the legendary heroes "Usoland" and "Robiland" coming to save the dwarves of Dressrosa.
Chief Gancho reveals that the Donquixote Family's conflict with the dwarves of Dressrosa goes back nine hundred years, far longer than the one decade first assumed.
Giolla's Ato Ato no Mi turns people and objects into living art; aboard the Thousand Sunny she reduces Nami's Clima-Tact to a worthless trinket, sprouts wings from Chopper's horns, and distorts Brook's Soul Solid sword.
Doflamingo orders Law over Den Den Mushi to bring the crew to Green Bit to return Caesar's heart, warning that anyone who loses the Corrida Colosseum tournament will be cast straight to hell, then declares the alliance over.
Dwarf squad leaders Kabu and Bian use the Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model Kabutomushi and Model Suzumebachi, transforming into a rhinoceros beetle and a hornet to help move troops through the Tontatta Kingdom.
