Kin'emon digs Kanjuro out of the scrap heap, and the samurai's living doodle ferries them toward the surface. While Cavendish names the flaw that will doom Doflamingo, Zoro at last carves a real wound into Pica.
Summary
In the Dressrosa junkyard, Kin'emon discovers Kanjuro tucked inside a wall, and their reunion brings the samurai to tears. Kanjuro, munching a cabbage of his own drawing, sketches a crude bird on the wall and brings it to life to lift them out, though the trapped citizens and soldiers plead to be carried along so they can rejoin their families. Above, the gladiator army keeps the Donquixote forces tied up, letting Luffy, Law, Kyros, and Cavendish, all astride Farul, push toward the upper levels until giant puppet soldiers block the third tier. Atop the Pica statue, Robin's airborne group asks Zoro to bring Pica down so they can reach Luffy, and Zoro lands a heavy blow.
Key Events
Kanjuro steps fully into view for the first time and is properly introduced, his Devil Fruit shown to animate anything he sketches despite his dismal artwork. Dellinger kicks down Blue Gilly, and Machvise crushes Boo. Cavendish argues that Doflamingo can no longer let anyone live now that his arms dealing and toy scheme are exposed, so the island's only escape is to take his head, and he points to the warlord's mistake of gathering so many strong fighters in one place. Kyros declares that ending Doflamingo would restore Riku's honor and clear his ten-year debt, prompting Law and Luffy to boast of even older debts. With Senhachiju Pound Ho, Zoro lands his first direct hit on Pica, vowing to surpass all swordsmen.
Notes
Kanjuro receives his formal debut, and his power to give life to drawings is confirmed even though his skill is poor. Dellinger beats Blue Gilly and Machvise beats Boo. The quartet of Luffy, Cavendish, Kyros, and Law climb to the third tier, while Robin, Rebecca, and Bartolomeo arrive at the new King's Plateau. Zoro lands the first real wound on Pica, and Bartolomeo weeps with admiration at the feat. A trivia note spots Pandaman drawn among citizens on page seven. The cover continues Jinbe's voyage, with a sea dog sheriff realizing the sea kitten shares his town.
