A Shocking Confession! Law's Soulful Vow!

Zoro's clash locks Pica's stone form in place, so the gladiators below seize the lull and rush the castle, fixed on Doflamingo's head. Pulling away from the giant, Luffy cannot pry Abdullah and Jeet off his ride however much he protests. Then Law snaps out of his brooding and confesses to Luffy that his whole scheme was a winding path toward crushing Doflamingo, sharpened by an earlier loss to the man. Thirteen years ago, he explains, Doflamingo stripped away the one person who mattered most to him: Corazon, his benefactor and the family's former top executive, and also Doflamingo's own younger brother.

From the relocated palace, five officers, namely Machvise with Dellinger, Gladius, Lao G, and Baby 5, watch the advance, amused yet sure the intruders will never punch through Fujitora's forces, though Baby 5 concedes that the Straw Hats did stop Pica. A map traces the scattered fronts: Zoro dueling the giant, Luffy and Law reaching the palace's first level, the gladiators bearing down on the Marines, and Kyros cutting through alone. When townsfolk beg Kyros to surrender peacefully, explaining they all perish unless every bounty is gathered, he feels their terror but charges on, driven by a purpose of his own. At the old plateau, Robin's party rejoins King Riku, Viola, and Tank Lepanto, and Robin clears her pursuers by dissolving the net she had woven to climb up.

Viola recovers the handcuff key that fits Law and declares she means to free him. King Riku objects because both Law and Luffy are pirates, yet Viola counters that this is precisely why they can save the nation, since the World Government's special shield over Doflamingo bred the whole disaster. The Tontatta agree, telling King Riku that Usopp broke the Hobi Hobi curse and pledging their full backing to the Straw Hats. Rebecca decides to carry the key to Luffy herself, with Bartolomeo, Leo, and Kabu joining her, all set to reconvene at the plateau. Franky, meanwhile, trains his Radical Beam on the factory, only for Senor Pink to burst out and renew their fight.

This entry belongs to the Dressrosa Arc, and the broadcast lengthens the duel between Zoro and the stone giant compared to the page. The adaptation slips in a brief glimpse of how Corazon died, Bartolomeo hunting for a Luffy who has already left and then weeping with excitement at Usopp's deeds, Luffy deflecting a volley of bullets, and King Riku reflecting on the hope Luffy provides. Robin dropping her hand-ladder pursuers, shown a chapter earlier in print, was moved to the prior episode on screen. This is the last installment to open with "Wake up!", and the next-episode preview runs shorter than usual.
