Summary:
The battle for Block B begins. Bartolomeo is heckled by the crowd as he enters the colosseum. He responds by throwing a fake bomb into the stands. Cavendish tells Luffy about the competitors and reveals why they hate the new supernovas. Meanwhile, Bellamy defeats a number of competitors in quick succession, leading him to become the target of an alliance formed by Dagama to protect King Elizabella II. Luffy and Cavendish are approached by a large man who asks how Garp is doing and inadvertently reveals Luffy’s true identity to Cavendish.
Bartolomeo raises his hands and declares that he is sending everyone to hell. The crowd starts booing and telling him to get lost. He responds by making a face and then throwing an object into the crowd. One of the workers asks what he thinks he’s doing. People in the audience start to run and hide when someone shouts that he has dropped a bomb. Everyone stops when they hear the strangely normal sound the “bomb” makes as it lands. It turns out that Bartolomeo simply threw the ball at them. Dagama sarcastically praises him for his great job of winning over the crowd and calling him a thug. Bartolomeo says he doesn’t care what people think of him.
The announcer then introduces another contestant and calls him the opposite of Bartolomeo; the man with the greatest devotion to Doflamingo who swore allegiance to their king after bringing him a pillar made of gold from another country. The crowd is excited with anticipation because they know who the announcer is talking about. Thanks to him, every country that insulted Dressrosa by calling them pirates was destroyed by this man known as Dressrosa’s Killing Bomb. And now this man has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As Bellamy walked into the light of the arena, the announcer told the crowd that if Bellamy won the tournament today, he would be promoted to a high executive position in the Donquijote family and was one of the favorites to win the tournament. He ends his performance by introducing Bellamy the hyena. Cavendish gives Bellamy a slightly jealous look, noting his large numbers.
The announcer swings a wooden mallet at the starting bell and the match begins. Bellamy tries to decide where to start when he sees several fighters being thrown back. Tank Lepanto, Elizabello II and Dagama discuss whether they should take out Bellamy first, to which the tactician says yes, as they need to take out the stronger fighters while they still have numbers on their side. Bellamy asks what they’re doing and Bartolomeo notes that the battle isn’t really a battle royale anymore. Dagama tells them that when they are dead, they can complain all they want. All that matters is who is the last one standing.
Block B continues and the audience realizes that Dagama has formed an alliance with the other competitors. The announcer announces the news to the entire Colosseum and tells the spectators that this action is not against the rules and announces who is the mastermind of the operation. Dagama thinks that his kingdom cannot lose it due to the immense power of their king Elizabella II.
Dagama then asks Elizabello how his preparations are going and Elizabello replies that he is ready to go anytime. Dagama then tells his men to defend the king and continue to reduce the numbers to ensure victory. Bellamy then mocks Tank Lepanto for teaming up with Dagama and Elizabelle, due to his position as Dressrosa’s defense captain. Lepanto replies that money is what makes the world go round and that dreams are not important as he prefers to take the easiest money he can get. Bellamy laughs and attacks Lepanto. In the middle of their clash, three more competitors fall into the lake. The three fighters are disqualified and then the announcer tells the audience what is inside the lake; a school of small flying fish. The crowd cheers as the flying fish are shown. The announcer then states that it is impossible for anyone to come out of the fight unscathed because it is the Corrida Colosseum.
Meanwhile, in the participant viewing area, Cavendish explains to Luffy why people call Bartolome “The Cannibal”. He goes on to say that it’s because of his mocking of others, and says that Bartolomeo is one of the cheeky children who became famous after him. Luffy then says that it’s exciting and asks Cavendish what his name is. Cavendish replies that he is Cavendish, and Luffy then asks him what he has in his hand (but calls him Cabbage instead). Cavendish replies that he’s checking his rewards for The Worst Generation posters and says he’ll probably have to get new ones soon because of all the knife prints he left on them. Luffy tells him that he should probably forgive them, but Cavendish replies that he just wants to kill them. Cavendish then goes on to say that he thought at least one would be there because of the price on offer. He then says that maybe they are hiding their face like Burgess did before and says that he will wait for them among the survivors.
Don Chinjao suddenly interrupts the conversation and comments on the view of the match from the surroundings. Chinjao then asks Luffy how Garp is doing and calls him Straw Hat Luffy. Luffy then asks him if he knows his grandfather, causing Cavendish to be shocked. Luffy then realizes that he has revealed his identity. Chinjao explains that a long time ago Garp almost killed him and that he decided to hold a grudge against his descendants. This causes Luffy to say nothing more than “what?”
