Chapter Summaries

Rosen welcomed Lieutenant Colonel Dol as his adjutant and introduced her to Douglas Bullet, who challenged her to judge him as a Marine rather than by his past. Dol quickly earned Rosen’s confidence, and he reflected on how Sengoku’s ability to lead people was preparing him to become a commander.

• Doflamingo unleashed a wave of Conqueror’s Haki toward Rosen and the Marines aboard the warship.

Rosen overwhelmed Donquixote Doflamingo in a clash of Conqueror’s Haki and used its immense pressure to destroy the Donquixote Pirates’ fleet and incapacitate its crew. With the pirates defeated, the war ended as soon as it began.

• Dol told Rosen that his mission to collar powerful Shichibukai had made her own choker feel unappealing.

• Doflamingo accelerated the Birdcage’s contraction and demanded that Rosen choose between letting him escape and saving the townspeople.

After half a month of torture and forced submission, Donquixote Doflamingo became Rosen’s obedient servant aboard the warship. Rosen granted him the Shichibukai title, which Doflamingo accepted as a reward from his master rather than a triumph.

Rosen granted Doflamingo the title of Shichibukai but restricted his privileges and placed strict conditions on the Donquixote Family’s businesses. As Doflamingo anticipated his freedom, Dol questioned whether he would truly obey Rosen once released.

• Rosen told Doflamingo he could become a Shichibukai but would lose the title if he broke Rosen’s rules.
• Rosen gave Doflamingo a Vivre Card made from his fingernails and forbade him from dealing drugs, selling arms to pirates, enslaving civilians, or plundering ordinary people.

• Bullet used the Combine Fruit to create a helicopter and a submarine, then told Doflamingo that the collar's presence determined whether he lived or died.

Rosen reassured Dol that Donquixote Doflamingo and the other Shichibukai would be kept under strict surveillance, with Douglas Bullet ready to kill any who disobeyed.
