Summary:
Ten years ago, when Dressrosa is attacked by Donquijote pirates, Kyros rushes to the palace to see what is happening. As Doflamingo introduces himself and shows King Riku’s battered body, he is ambushed by pirates and tied to the ground by his left leg. Enraged, Kyros cuts off his leg to attack Doflamingo until Sugar turns him into a toy. Kyros escapes and saves Rika, but the king does not remember him. Days later, Kyros witnesses Diamante murder his wife Scarlett, leaving him to bring food and care for his daughter Rebecca.
In the underground trading port, Usopp attempts to fight Trebol, but is easily defeated and pinned to the ground. Sugar feeds him Tatababasco berries, but Usopp unleashes a large flame as his eyes pop out, scaring Sugar unconscious.
When Doflamingo took over, Kyros tried to save King Riku from Doflamingo. He cuts off his leg and lunges at Doflamingo, only to be turned into a toy by Sugar. Kyros (now Thunder Soldier) flees the palace with Riku, who has no memory of him. Some day after the attack, Scarlett was shot by Diamante when she went to get food for Rebecca.
The anime adds the following:
Before leaving for the palace, Cyrus hugged his wife for the last time and rode through the burning city on horseback.
Arriving at the palace, Kyros spoke to Viola before Monet led him to Doflamingo.
The anime shows how Cyrus’ leg was bound, which in this case involved being ambushed.
The screen shows Usopp’s fight with Trebol.
When Sugar passed out, the anime doesn’t show Sugar foaming at the mouth like in the manga.
The preview for the next episode is shortened from the usual length.
Violet snaps Kyros out of his flashback as they notice more soldiers heading towards Doflamingo, and with the moment of surprise quickly slipping away, the group prepares to attack Doflamingo.
At the Colosseum, Burgess’s attacks weaken the foundations of the Colosseum, and the soldiers note that another strong attack will cause them to shatter. Diamante is revealed to be the culprit, killing Rebecca’s mother directly in the face, leaving her vulnerable and in shock.
Franky lies defeated by the Doflamingo family and calls out in his head for Usopp to save the day. Down in the hidden port, all the toys are silently cheering for Usopp to succeed, but he is revealed to be unconscious. As a final farewell, Sugar puts a ball of Tatababasco in Usopp’s mouth and makes him swallow it. But this causes Usopp to wake up screaming with a horrible look on his face, which scares Sugar enough that she passes out.
