The Second Samurai - Evening Shower Kanjuro Appears

With Luffy among their ranks, the Colosseum warriors tighten into coordinated strikes that throw the Donquixote agents off balance. A trio of Elizabello, Blue Gilly, and Ideo seals off the soldiers, clearing a route for Luffy, Cavendish, Kyros, and Law to push ahead on Dagama's orders. Annoyed, Dellinger drives a headbutt-stab into Dagama, but the veteran strategist coils himself around the agent to pin him, barking at the four to keep going. Cavendish's Biken: Saint Exupery, paired with a burst of Luffy's Jet Gatling, scatters the soldiers blocking their way.

Over in the scrap yard, Kin'emon comes upon Kanjuro and breaks into happy tears. Munching a cabbage he drew himself, Kanjuro waves off any apology, certain his friend would always return for him. Told the crisis above demands they leave at once, he draws a bird onto the wall and calls it to life, stunning the watching townsfolk with how shoddy yet animate the thing is. At a trapped citizen's plea, he scrawls rough ladders so the rest can climb upward, though they grumble about the sorry craftsmanship.

Back at the fight, Donquixote members try to halt the group as it rides Farul, only to be booted aside by Blue Gilly, who is then felled by Dellinger's Decapitation High Heel. Cavendish tells Luffy to stay focused and lays bare the cruel arithmetic of the Birdcage: it is a sham, because with Doflamingo's weapons trade and toy operation now exposed, he will never let a single witness escape to reveal it. Handing over all twelve marked targets would spare no one, so the only road off the island is to claim Doflamingo's head, and the warlord's blunder is trapping so many strong fighters here alongside himself.

As Cavendish announces the kill as his own, Luffy, Law, and Kyros each insist they will be the one to do it. Reminded that he had sworn to behead Diamante, Kyros replies that toppling Doflamingo would restore King Riku's honor and settle the debt he has carried for a decade. Law then cites a thirteen-year grudge and Luffy a thirty-year one, the latter earning Cavendish's scorn as a transparent boast. On reaching the third tier, the group is met by towering toy puppets that bar their advance.

This entry sits within the Dressrosa Arc and marks the debut of the Fude Fude no Mi. Fresh techniques surface as well: Cavendish's Biken: Zan t-Exupery, Kanjuro's Nuke Suzume, Dellinger's Danto High Heel, and Sugar's Atamawari Ningyo. Scenes invented for the adaptation include Sai and Ideo trading blows with Gladius and Lao G, Chinjao taking on Baby 5 after her strike at Orlumbus, Elizabello II crossing Dellinger before Hajrudin steps in, and the actual moment Kin'emon locates Kanjuro.
