Law freed himself and led Luffy and Smoker out of captivity, while Fanxin’s group headed for the building in search of Artificial Devil Fruits. They took shelter there with Zoro’s group as liquid poison gas swept toward them, but the gas began seeping through the damaged entrance.

• Franky released a stinking smoke bomb, allowing Law to reveal that his handcuffs were not made of Seastone and free himself and Luffy.
