Summary:
As the citizens and marines are forced to attack each other in the streets of Dressrosa, Doflamingo reveals to the island a hit list of Straw Pirates and their allies, with Usopp surprisingly holding the top prize. Robin, Usopp, Sabo, Koala, and Hack head to the SMILE factory while Bartolomeo holds back the freed toys and Kin’emon leaves to find Kanjur. Franky leaves the Toy House and goes to destroy the factory while Trebol and Diamante regroup in the palace. On the palace platform, Kyros leaves the group and goes after Doflamingo. Rebecca contacts Luffy and asks about her father, and Luffy says that he promised to end this game and beat up Doflamingo.
Doflamingo continues his broadcast, informing the citizens of Dressrosa that escape from his birdcage, as well as communication with the outside world, is impossible. As various citizens try to call for help or stop them, many scream to stay away from them as they can’t control themselves. He asks them if they will all be killed because he used his powers to make random citizens kill others or if they will be able to end his game.
As Issho puts off the controlled marines, the former toys in the underground port are shocked that the SMILE factory has gone up in the air. However, they are certain that this gives them a chance to escape thanks to their “god”, Usopp. Meanwhile, at Kin’emon Harbor, Bartolomeo and Rebecca meet up with Robin, Usopp, Sabo, Koala, Hack and the dwarves. While sucking on Robin, Bartolomeo notices that Usopp has a long nose, similar to Sogeking, his nickname. Robin tells him that they are one and the same, causing Bartolomeo to scream in amazement, which makes Sabo and Hack very angry (since the latter, in disbelief, had his arm broken by a fool like Bartolomeo). Kin’emon checks on the dwarves, praising them for their fighting skills, while they check on Kaba and Rampa, who returned from the palace incapacitated.
The carnage in the streets of Dressrosa continues and many citizens think it was very similar to the incident he caused ten years ago. The controlled citizens and their victims also come to terms with the incident and finally understand that King Riku and his army were controlled that night. As King Riku continues to plead with Doflamingo to stop the massacre, Doflamingo offers the former toys and people clamoring for his head an ultimatum: make the wrong choice and come for his head in a never-ending game, or “bring justice” to the 12 people on the island who represent the greatest a threat to the Donquijote family. Each target is worth a certain number of “stars” and Doflamingo will pay a reward of 100,000,000 per star. Rewards are awarded as follows:
1 star: Rebecca, Nico Robin, Kin’emon, Viola, Franky
2 stars: Roronoa Zoro, Kyros
3 stars: Sabo, Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Riku Doldo III
The announcement of the rewards causes a flurry of mixed reactions of shock, disbelief and excitement; both that some of the targets are still alive after all this time (King Riku and Kyros) and others that humans are even present on Dressros (like Sabo). Back at the trading port, just as Usopp begins to rejoice at being left out, Doflamingo reveals the one who angered him the most and put them in this horrible game, offering a final, special 5-star reward just for the “god” Usopp for his roles in previous events. This immediately brings horror to Usopp and the dwarves, but great joy to the former slaves. Seeing Usopp and other other criminals with stars on their heads, they quickly turned their attention to Robin, Sabo, Rebecca, and Kin’emon for the rewards, who felt they had to make a quick escape, much to Usopp’s dismay as they worshiped him. before and now they want him dead. However, while everyone else moves to get above ground, Kin’emon decides to jump further down to the Scrap Pile under the pretense that Kanjuro might be there.
Doflamingo further states that the clock is ticking as people are being killed by the second due to his manipulation. We are brought back to the streets of Dressrosa, where the citizens who understood King Rik’s actions ten years ago are now torn about what to do. Senor Pink, Machvise and Dellinger also notice that Franky has somehow escaped their sight. Franky moves into the factory with a spare wheel, but many pirates come after him for the reward, much to Franky’s disgust at their lack of gratitude for Usopp’s help. The citizens also see him and try to kill him, but Franky pushes them away and covers himself with his coat, stating that Usopp has done his part and will now destroy the factory. Back at the trading port, Bartolomeo urges Robin’s group to stick to the surface while he creates a large barrier to prevent the former toys from pursuing them. Zoro calls Robin through the Den Den Mushi and it is revealed that he met Luffy and the others that Pico kicked out of the palace. Luffy takes over the conversation with Robin and they update each other on current events, noticing that Kyros has disappeared.
Luffy referring to Kyros as “Soldier-San”, as well as Rebecca’s own memories of the soldier, lead her to reveal that the soldier, the statue in the Corrida Colosseum, and Kyros are her father. As she begins to break down, Luffy encourages her to stay strong. She apologizes for not being able to eat the Mera Mera no Mi, but instead promises to defeat Doflamingo and restore order to the land.
