Summary:
In the coastal waters near Dressrosa, Brook and Chopper, on the Thousand Sunny, tell the people to escape the ship. The intruders are revealed to be members of the Club Trébol Army, with the leader of the group revealed to be Giolla. Giolla tells Brook and Chopper to be quiet and asks who called her a mermaid princess, to which Brook and Chopper say no. Giolla tells them to hurry up and hand over Momonosuke and also wonders how the boy is doing with them since they only had eels with them before. He goes on to say that Doflamingo ordered the capture of Momonosuke and the capture of their ship. Nami thinks about what will happen if Giolla continues to go wild with her powers, and Brook and Chopper say that the Thousand Sunny might become useless. Nami then tells Giolla to attack them away from the ship and Momonosuke hangs onto her legs.
Giolla then tells his men to capture Momonosuke and also says that what’s going on won’t work at all. Her men then yell at her and she keeps repeating “this won’t work” and she starts shaking and laughing. She says that an image is coming into her head and that her soul is about to come out. Brook says that the situation is getting worse and that she might act like before. Brook reveals that Giolla was the one who snuck into the men’s rooms and says that she’s already turned the lockers and beds into a crazy state. Brook also says that Franky will probably be mad because of this incident, but also wonders if things can ever be returned to normal. Giolla then says that the image of liberation and beauty is cracking, and one of the Straw Hats tells her to stop and not do it on their ship, that her destination is far away from the ship. Giolla then says that freedom is everything in this world and challenges the Straw Hats on this statement while turning the Thousand Sunny into a work of art. Brook then says how horrible it is and Nami screams. Giolla laughs as Nami says that the ship isn’t even a ship anymore. Giolla says that the ship is now a piece of beauty and tells the Straw Hats that now that she has done this they will not be able to escape Dressrosa. She goes on to ask them if they really thought their distraction would fool her. Nami, Chopper and Brook look on as Giolla continues to laugh at their situation and Momonosuke sees the head of the ship and turns around in shock.
Meanwhile, at the Corrida Colosseum in Dressrosa, Ricky says that if the guards wish to perform medical treatment, then they better forget it because he wants to leave as is. The guards say they couldn’t leave him as he is and say their job is to tend to his wounds. This angers Ricky and tells the guards that he was talking about healing someone after they held a tournament to the death in the coliseum. The guards tell Ricky to take off his mask because it’s leaking a huge amount of blood, but Ricky tells them not to lay a hand on him and asks them to show him to the exit. Ricky then falls to his knees as Rebecca stands in front of him. Rebecca notices how bad Ricky’s injuries are and tells him that he should probably get them checked out. Ricky suddenly stands up and says he can walk on his own. The guards told him to head inside and down the stairs to the basement. Ricky then looks down and remembers Rebecca as a little girl, he apologizes to her in his head and Rebecca stares in silence.
Meanwhile, in the Donquijote family’s emergency room, Bellamy reports to Diamante that Luffy is participating in the tournament, and Diamante tells him to wait until the match is over. Bellamy then receives a message from Doflamingo asking him to kill Luffy. Diamante says that Doflamingo is too soft because Bellamy lost the tournament and that it’s Bellamy’s lucky day because of all the chances Doflamingo is giving him. Bellamy then remembers Luffy cheering him on earlier as Diamante tells Bellamy that assassination is an easy job and that if he can do the job, he will become an officer of the Donquixote family.
Elsewhere in the Colosseum, Bartolomeo comes to Cavendish with a briefcase in hand. He tells Cavendish that he heard about his desire to go after Lucy. Cavendish responds by congratulating him on winning Block B and also tells him that the business with Lucy is none of his business. Bartolomeo then tells Cavendish that he won’t let Lucy kill him and Cavendish says “really now, you too?” Cavendish remarks that Lucy is the man of the hour, but that she is his prey. Bartolomeo then tells Cavendish that his motivations with Lucy run deeper.
In Block C, Gatz notes how many contestants have already been defeated and says that Block C is a heated battle. Specifically, he draws attention to one competitor, the giant Hajrudin. He states that Hajrudin is a member of the new generation of Elbaf warriors and notes that he holds the title of “the strongest pirate mercenary”. Hajrudin asks the gladiator if they’ve ever seen a giant with the Devil Fruit Logia ability, then smashes the contestant to the ground, saying he’ll be first once he eats the Mera Mera no Mi. Hajrudin also states that he wants to be king of the giants. Gatz notes that Hajrudin’s every strike is like lightning and asks if anyone can stop him.
Gatz then shifts his attention to the other side of the Block, where Fighting Bull is defeating a bunch of gladiators. He explains that the death row inmates have achieved their goal against Fighting Bull, noting that he has already sent twenty-one men to Hell. He says that the Fighting Bull is called the death god of the colosseum and was nicknamed Brutal Bull. Gatz then questions how anyone was able to tame such a god of death, noting how the bull man appeared out of nowhere and easily became a fan favorite due to his light and agile strength. When Gatz says this, the crowd is visibly pleased and asks what the guy is doing on the bull. Gatz reveals that the one riding the bull is Lucy and says that he likes the gladiator himself, causing one of the Coliseum employees to tell Gatz that he should remain unbiased as an announcer.
Cavendish is then shown angry as he says that even though Luffy’s identity is hidden, he is still able to maintain his popularity. Rebecca is also shown watching the competition and says how funny Luffy is. Luffy then dubs the fighting bull as Ucy and tells him to take out all the gladiators. Luffy laughs as the fighting bull roars. Then Ucy hits the foot of Hajrudin. The crowd gasped in shock and so did Gatz. Hajrudin stares at Luffy and the bull as the crowd says fighting Hajrudin was a bad idea. Hajrudin then starts attacking the duo, showing anger at being challenged. Luffy tells Ucy to run, but he’s too late as Hajrudin manages to smash them both into the Coliseum floor. The crowd screams in shock and one of them even shows care for the bull. Hajrudin looks down on the seemingly defeated duo as the crowd continues to call the seemingly defeated duo’s name. The crowd is then shown to be very sad as Gatz comments on how disappointing this result is. Gatz then states that the power difference between the Elbaf rookie and Lucy and the bull is evident and that even though they were strong, they couldn’t stand up to him. Hajrudin roars in victory.
Suddenly, Luffy stands up and looks at Ucy. He sees that he is knocked out as Gatz is shocked at Luffy’s survival. Luffy then stands up and angrily jumps at Hajrudin’s face as the crowd looks on in shock. He knocks Hajrudin out with one punch as the crowd screams and is visibly shocked along with Gatz and Rebecca. Gatz then announces that Hajrudin has been eliminated.
