The Trump Card Who Always Wins-Luffy
"Congratulations to Baby-5, a member of the Donquixote Family, for being the lucky winner of this multiple-choice question. She is now presented with the most wonderful gift of her life. The prize will be delivered shortly; please be ready to accept it."
Immediately, a flood of envious comments appeared on the screen: {Damn, he's got both love and career success! What kind of incredible luck did that bastard Sai have?!}
Sai is a true winner in life! Why can't I be like him? It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others!
{Waaaaah, why wasn't it me! I'm so jealous! Sai.}
{Baby-5 is doomed. Since she's fallen in love with her enemy, Doflamingo probably won't let her go. But, Sai, I hate you!}

Dressrosa, the King's Plateau, inside the Royal Palace.
"Baby-5." Doflamingo said through gritted teeth, his face dark.
The previous defeats, from Machvise to Dellinger and Rao G, had already angered him greatly.
Now, the fact that Baby-5 has fallen for his enemy and betrayed him has infuriated him even more. Although that happened in the future, he is extremely unhappy at this moment and just wants to bring Baby-5 back and teach her a lesson.
"Pulling pulling."
Suddenly, the Den Den Den Mushi in front of Doflamingo rang. He picked it up immediately, but before he could speak, Den Den Mushi 'Buffalo panicked voice came from the other end, "Young... Young Master, something terrible has happened! Baby-5... she's disappeared!"
"What?"
Inside a magnificent palace in the Flower Country.
"Whoosh!"
A golden light, taller than a person, suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall, startling Chinjao and the others present.
The next second, a woman with long black hair, dressed in a maid outfit, slowly walked out from inside.
She first glanced blankly at Chinjao and the others present, then a blush spread across her face, and she called out sweetly, "Husband." As she spoke, she pounced on Sai.
"B... Baby-5," Sai called out awkwardly.
Then, the camera pans back to the third floor, to Luffy and his crew.
At this point, they were still embroiled in a fierce battle with the army of head-clamping dolls, and Cavendish's white horse, Farul, was even bitten by them.
Suddenly, a scream came from above them.
The next second, several people landed beside them.
The newcomers included both allies and enemies: Bartolomeo, Robin, and Gladius.
Then, seemingly to explain why they fell from above, the camera pans back to a point earlier in time.
At that time, Robin and his companions were still using the Tontatta's insect flying squadron to make their way to the fourth level of the New King's Plateau.
However, as they passed through the second level, they were noticed by Gladius.
So he activated the power of his Bomb-Bomb Fruit, injuring Bartolomeo, who was flying the lowest point, causing him to fall from the sky. The shockwave he generated also stunned the swarm of insects that Robin was fighting, causing her to fall from the sky as well.
Just as Gladius jumped up, preparing to attack the last one among them— Rebecca, Robin used the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit to grow arms around his body and bring him down from the sky.
However, as Robin landed, she instructed Rebecca to continue towards the fourth level of the New King's Plateau to deliver the key to Luffy and his Luffy.
And so, the scene described earlier unfolded.
On the screen, a barrage of speechless comments immediately appeared: {Holy crap, what a coincidence! They missed the key again!}
This key is harder to get than defeating a Four Emperors)!
Poor Trafalgar Law, he's really unlucky, his mother opened the door to even more bad luck!
I bet Trafalgar Law is internally devastated right now!

On the other side, in the video footage, when Robin saw Luffy and the others, she was initially surprised, wondering why they were still there after so long.
Before Luffy could even tell her, Law asked Robin for the key.
Robin immediately told him that the key wasn't on her, but on Rebecca, who was currently flying towards the highest point of the New King's Plateau.
Upon learning that Rebecca had flown alone to the fourth level of the New King's Plateau, Kyros immediately showed a panicked expression. He knew very well that with Rebecca's strength, she would be in great danger no matter which Donquixote Family executive she encountered. He had to get to the fourth level of the New King's Plateau as soon as possible.
Just then, Gladius, who had fallen with Robin and the others, stood up and declared that as long as he was there, he would never allow Luffy and the others to go to the fourth level of the New King's Plateau and meet Doflamingo.
To his surprise, Bartolomeo and Robin blocked his way, Luffy to the fourth floor, and that he could handle things here.
Luffy hesitated at first, but after meeting Robin's determined gaze, he felt reassured and entrusted the enemies here to them.
With the help of the barrier stairs erected by Bartolomeo, Luffy and his crew immediately ran towards the fourth floor.
Gladius, of course, wouldn't let them succeed so easily, and immediately commanded his army of head-claw puppets to launch an attack on Luffy.
Cavendish blocked all their attacks, and decided to stay and deal with them to avenge his beloved horse, Farul.
Seeing that the attacks of the Head-Claw Puppet Army were ineffective, Gladius had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. He raised his arm and unleashed a barrage of projectiles at Luffy and his crew, but Bartolomeo leaped high into Luffy air and blocked them with his own body.
This Cavendish greatly. Didn't Bartolomeo have a barrier? Why did he need to use his physical body to block it?
Bartolomeo told him that his barrier could only extend to a limited area each time, and now it was all used up on the steps. Therefore, he could no longer extend the barrier, but he would die without regrets if he could help Luffy!
This left Cavendish speechless, but he still decided to stay by his side and fight alongside him until his barrier was restored.
Suddenly, a head-clip doll appeared behind Cavendish, immediately catching Cavendish's attention.
However, before he could make a move, Robin struck first, "Five Trees - Slap."
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
Hands appeared on the head-clip doll, then slapped it hard, sending it flying.
"Nicole Robin." Cavendish looked at Robin, who had her back to them, with some surprise, and said...
Robin ignored him calling her and instead addressed Bartolomeo, who was lying on the ground, with unwavering trust, "I understand how you feel, mohawk-haired guy. Our captain is a man worth risking your life for. Luffy will always be our trump card for victory."
As she spoke, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Gladius and the army of head-claw dolls who were constantly approaching them, "Mil Fleur - The Gigantesco Mano."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Several enormous arms grew out of thin air from the ground, separating the army of head-claw dolls that were approaching them and surrounding Gladius.
"I absolutely won't let you get in Luffy," Robin said, looking at Gladius, who was surrounded by arms.
"That's right, Robin- senpai!" Bartolomeo exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.
