Summary

The spectators keep spitting venom at Rebecca over her grandfather, but Luffy waves off the blood connection, thinking of his own grandfather Garp and of Chinjao. The mockery stops when Cavendish rides in on Farul and tells the audience that only those willing to bleed in the ring have any right to judge a fighter clinging to life. His words stir the crowd into cheering, and once 137 combatants are confirmed, the starting bell sends Block D into chaos.

Far away on Green Bit, Law remains hopelessly outmatched by Doflamingo and Fujitora. Pinned and beaten, he is spared a killing strike only because the admiral intends to arrest him, after which Doflamingo recovers Caesar's heart and begins recounting his own history. The Block D round soon shows seven standout warriors trading blows, with Rebecca surviving a five-man ambush.

Key Events

At the Flower Field hideout, Leo and the Thunder Soldier rouse the assembled forces, their year-long scheme finally set to strike even against a Warlord, while Usopp quietly listens for his best chance to flee. In Acacia, Wicca guides Zoro and briefs him on Giolla's powers and on the three who once crushed the Dressrosa army: Diamante, Trebol, and Pica. Zoro reunites with Sanji and Kin'emon, dubbing them Curlyland and Top-knotland.

Violet, in disguise, reveals the Thousand Sunny has been seized and is being towed toward Green Bit. Back in the Colosseum, Rebecca fends off five attackers at once, flinging each from the ring and renewing her vow to claim the Mera Mera no Mi and slay Doflamingo.

Notes

Several debuts arrive here, including Mummy, Agyo, Rolling Logan, Damask, and Acilia. The adaptation extends Luffy's exchange with the convicts, who call Rebecca their hope, and shows more of the forest clash where Law again presses Doflamingo about his World Government ties. It also adds the dwarves and Usopp's group reaching the hidden base and the five-fighter gang-up on Rebecca. A note clarifies the lone Block D dropout was Gambia, knocked out before the bell. Rating 7.3.
