Summary

Sugar's collapse unravels the doll army as each toy splits back into the eight servants that made it, ending the third-tier battle. Up at the palace, Doflamingo needles the captain for shielding his old rival Bellamy and brands the beaten pirate a useless failure. Furious, the captain kicks at the Warlord, who lifts Bellamy as a living shield so the blow strikes his friend's face. Law cautions that yielding to rage hands Doflamingo exactly what he wants, and the Warlord ties his own fury to something that happened thirteen years earlier.

Key Events

Doflamingo lists the damage the alliance has caused him: the wrecked SAD Factory, Monet and Vergo dead, Caesar Clown kidnapped, the toys freed, and the threat to the SMILE plant. He tells Law that, but for that distant day, the surgeon would have grown into the third Corazon at his side, then spins a string clone to attack while a sobbing, controlled Bellamy begs the captain to stop him. The captain announces he is ditching the plan and seems to aim at Law, only for Law to trip ROOM and swap with the real Doflamingo, who eats Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk before Law shreds Trebol with Radio Knife.

Notes

Within the Dressrosa Arc, the entry debuts Law's Radio Knife. The adaptation lengthens Doflamingo's cruelty toward Bellamy with reminders of his Corrida Colosseum loss, and cuts to a younger Corazon and his brother once aiming pistols at each other. Fresh beats include Elizabello II's lighter King Punch, Dellinger taunting Ideo, and added footage from the Chinjao, Sai, Franky, and Kyros bouts. Law closes by branding the captain the worst, who answers that they share the same generation.
