An Intense Battle - Law vs. Doflamingo

Hurling a chunk of the castle with Tact, Law watches it stop against Kumo no Sugaki. His next Shambles also fails, the Warlord seizing his right hand and scolding him for wasting weak strikes. Doflamingo argues that slaying a stronger foe calls for cold method over feeling, and that loosing him on Kaido would have been the smarter route. Law replies that all of it serves to avenge Corazon. The Warlord answers by lopping the arm off with Itonoko, drawing his pistol, and promising the surgeon the very pardon he once gave his father and brother, dealt through a lead bullet.

On the plateau, Zoro trades blows with Pica, who reshapes into a stone monster and drops the swordsman to a lower tier. As Zoro halves the statue, Pica's underlings open fire until Orlumbus arrives, herds them into a row, and bowls them over with Admiral Killer Bowling. Thanked for the rescue, Orlumbus gives his name, leaves the officer to Zoro, and takes the lesser ranks himself. Pica then absorbs the whole King's Plateau and breaks out laughing, earning fresh ridicule from the swordsman, so the stung giant strikes back with Charlestone, raising spikes that imperil even his own men while Zoro dodges.

Inside the palace, the captain at last destroys the string clone and demands the true Doflamingo appear, sparing Law from death just in time. Part of the Dressrosa Arc, the episode debuts Doflamingo's Kumo no Sugaki and Itonoko, Orlumbus's Killer Bowling, and Pica's Charlestone. The adaptation adds the surgeon firing Counter Shock at the Warlord, the captain looping an arm around Bellamy to pin him, and the captain slamming the clone with Red Hawk.
