Chapter 747: Executive Officer Pica

The former toys spill out from beneath the Colosseum in a flood, and the Marines realize the reshaped terrain has joined the trade harbor to the arena. A restored Maynard, scolded by Bastille for acting alone, replies that his time undercover taught him the full depth of Doflamingo's villainy. In the port below, Koala photographs a Doerena Kingdom merchant ship that has been disguised to look like a pirate craft. Maynard then presses Fujitora to arrest the warlord, but the admiral answers that it is not the Government's place to play God amid the citizens' furious cries, and orders him to keep following his commands.

At the relocated palace, the Family resolves they cannot breach the seastone-built SMILE Factory and destroys the keys to be sure. When Diamante frets over the Marines and asks the warlord's plan, Doflamingo waves it off as nothing to rush. Pica then offers to handle the marines and escaped pirates himself, and his startlingly high voice nearly breaks a subordinate, who is shot off the plateau by Baby 5 to spare him Pica's wrath. Doflamingo recounts losing his mother at eight and killing his father at ten, vowing never to suffer anyone mocking his family. In the streets, the Straw Hats land among hostile citizens and Marines, dodge Senor Pink, Machvise, and Dellinger, and brace as Fujitora arrives to halt the gunfire.

The arena fighters reach the surface, and Maynard reveals Doflamingo's Underworld dealings to Issho. The warlord discloses his mother died when he was eight and that he killed his father at ten. Franky, having recovered using reserve cola, heads for the factory to wreck it with his Radical Beam. Law brands Machvise a Super Weight Human, suggesting a Devil Fruit rather than mere bulk. Robin's party climbs the Colosseum stands and plans to meet the others via the wall now touching the King's Plateau, while Sabo has slipped off alone. Pica then rises as a towering stone giant, and Luffy's laughter at his pitch enrages him. The cover, by Yonemi of Yokohama, shows bear cubs approaching Mihawk as Perona sulks with envy.
