Summary:
Suspended on a ledge, Roronoa Zoro recalls his training with Dracul Mihawk, in which the master swordsman informed him that having splinters on his sword blades was an insult to his honor and that he could prevent this by hardening his blades with Busoshoku Haki. He also forbade Zoro from drinking until he mastered the technique. On the Royal Plateau, Fujitora asks his men if there are any injuries, but is informed that his Devil Fruit powers have kept them all safe as citizens and warriors across the country react to Pico’s defeat. Meanwhile, the SMILE factory explodes to the shock of those who see it. Inside, the dwarves are carrying SAD tanks and smashing them while declaring they will no longer be used. However, Trebol, who is watching, claims that they can still restore the factory and cure Pico since they still have the Mansherry.
In the Sunflower Fields, Leo and Mansherry encounter Kyros, Nico Robin, and Rebecca, with Mansherry offering to heal the badly injured Kyros. However, Kyros refuses to allow Mansherry to do this, believing that her powers have some limitations and that there are those in the land who need such healing more than he does. When Mansherry first looks at Dressrosa, Kyros remarks that they can only leave it to Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar D. Water Law to defeat Donquixote Doflamingo. Underneath the palace, Koala contacts Saba and asks him where he is, prompting Saba to admit that he is a bit late as it took some time to free all the prisoners in the Coliseum. She tells Koala that there aren’t many things she can do on her own before saying that she will come when Koala says that Luffy might be in danger.
Back at the King’s Platform, Usopp tearfully pulls Zoro up as Kin’emon congratulates him on defeating Pica, but Zoro tells them that it’s not over yet as the Birdcage is still present, meaning Doflamingo is still alive. Back at the palace, Bellamy defended his decision to attack Luffy at the cost of his life by stating that Doflamingo could remember him that way before slamming Luffy into a wall. However, Luffy pointed out that Doflamingo only wanted Bellamy to be pitted against him and die from the start, which Bellamy admitted was probably right before stating that it was his dying wish to fulfill this. Bellamy then remembered the time he first met Luffy, and after his trip to Sky Island, Bellamy reacted with shock when he saw Luffy’s remains in the sky. Bellamy told Luffy to just stand there and die if he didn’t want to fight back before jumping towards him, but Luffy armored himself and slammed Bellamy into the ground with a punch hardened by Busoshoku Haki, defeating Bellamy once more. Luffy screams Doflamingo’s name, prompting Doflamingo to remark that he hopes Luffy will come to the roof and see Law’s corpse.
