Luffy's Unintentional Flirting
Meanwhile, in the video footage, Usopp is being hunted down by the prisoners he previously rescued due to his high bounty.
However, under Sabo's command, he did not fall into the hands of the prisoners, but was instead carried to the ground by the Tontatta.
Just then, Robin's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang. It was Zoro calling; he had already reunited with Luffy and the others.
Luffy immediately snatched the Den Den Mushi from his hand, angrily cursed Doflamingo a few times, and complained about Usopp's high bounty.
This immediately drew Usopp's displeasure, but Luffy didn't care. Instead, he inquired about Rebecca's situation, expressing his apologies for including her on the list.
Rebecca, who had been following Robin closely, said it was alright without a care in the world. Instead, she inquired about Kyros and, upon learning that he had turned into a human, she knelt down and wept bitterly.
Then, the camera shifts back to Luffy's side.
Around him stood Zoro and the others, but Kyros. Clearly, he had gone alone towards the Royal Palace to seek revenge on Doflamingo.
"Although I don't know where the soldier went!" Luffy immediately said to Rebecca on the other end of the phone, promising, "But, Rebecca, listen carefully! Now is not the time to cry. I will absolutely not let him lose his life, so you must be safe and sound too."
"I'm so sorry I can't give you the Flame-Flame Fruit you wanted! But as compensation, I promise I'll beat Doflamingo to a pulp, so please don't stray from my crew!"
"I'll end this boring game right away, just you wait and see! You hear me?"
"Yes! I understand! Lucy." Rebecca's voice, trembling with tears, came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Okay, that's good!" Luffy gripped the Den Den Den Mushi tightly, then looked up towards the Royal Palace and said sharply, "Just you wait, Doflamingo!"
On the screen, a few scattered comments appeared, expressing their feelings: {Wow, what Straw Hat Luffy said almost moved me to tears!}
{Wow! Isn't that Straw Hat Luffy flirting?! Subtle flirting is the most deadly!}
Although Straw Hat Luffy may seem unreliable most of the time, he actually shows a lot of manly spirit when it really matters!
{ The Straw Hat Luffy is so sweet! He's such a warm-hearted guy!}

The New World, Dressrosa, inside the Corrida Colosseum.
"Lucy, thank you!" Rebecca said, touched.
Suddenly, several figures appeared not far in front of her, approaching her step by step. A look of terror flashed across her face, and she screamed, "No... no!"
At this moment, in the video footage, Luffy and Robin exchanged glances at their respective people before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
Suddenly, Law spoke up, "Hey! Straw Hat Luffy, do you even understand? Our battle plan is to destroy the SMILE Factory, then let Doflamingo live, and instigate a conflict between him and Kaido."
"But if you kill Doflamingo now, Kaido, who has lost SMILE, will turn his wrath on us. Then we'll have to fight Four Emperors who's burning with rage head-on!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others present fell into a brief silence.
But Luffy quickly broke the silence, saying firmly, "Let's talk about that later! Take a good look at this country! What will happen to them if I back down now?"
Upon hearing this, it was Luo's turn to fall silent.
The Grand Line, White Soil Island.
"Well said, Luffy!" Dragon said with a look of satisfaction. "Go and liberate Dressrosa!"
On a ship in a certain sea area Grand Line.
"Luffy, no matter what, is still a pushover!" Sabo laughed.
"You're the same, Sabo- kun," Koala said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Oh! Is that so? Perhaps it's because we had a good mother!" Sabo replied, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Hmph, you actually want to be my enemy for a bunch of complete strangers? How childish and laughable!" Kaido chuckled disdainfully, but then his tone shifted, a hint of admiration appearing in his voice, "However, your courage is indeed commendable!"
On the other side, in the video footage, Luffy saw that Law was silent and assumed that he had agreed with his decision. He grabbed Law and Zoro and prepared to jump off the King's Plateau.
But Law stopped him, wanting Luffy to unlock his handcuffs first.
Luffy told them that when they were thrown down by Pica, the key had disappeared somewhere.
Violet was standing nearby, immediately told them that they should leave the key to her; she knew where it was.
After receiving Violet's promise, Luffy immediately hugged Law and Zoro and jumped off King's Plateau, completely ignoring their terrified expressions.
Then, the camera shifts back to Franky, who is now wearing a coat wrapped around his head and running towards the factory that has emerged from the ground. His face and body are covered in wounds.
Seemingly to explain why he had become like this, the camera shifted back to his earlier battle with Senor Pink.
At the beginning, he was fighting Senor Pink alone.
But soon, Donquixote Family's subordinates guarding the other gates arrived.
Among them were two cadres, one of whom had long, curly blond hair and was wearing revealing bodysuits.
His character introduction immediately appeared. "Donquixote Family Executive, Ton-Ton Fruit Devil Fruit User - Machvise."
The other one was wearing a baseball cap and dark red high heels.
His character profile also appeared. "Donquixote Family Executive, Fighting Fish Half -Fish-Man - Dellinger".
Franky was temporarily put on the defensive under the combined attack of the three of them, but he was not yet defeated immediately.
But then, a group of marines who appeared out of nowhere suddenly joined the battle, making Franky, who was already on the defensive, even more passive.
Soon after, he was knocked to the ground by the combined forces. Just as he was about to be arrested by the Navy, Usopp scared Sugar into fainting, which triggered the success of the SOP Operation Plan. This distracted everyone present, allowing him to escape.
