• Perona sent Negative Ghosts at Trebol while Leo charged Sugar with the Tabasco Star, but Sugar touched Perona through her clone and turned her into a toy bound by a contract.

• Luffy, Xi Yan, and Violet found Gladius holding Kyros, and Luffy kicked Gladius away before catching the Toy Soldier.
• Gladius recognized Violet and threatened to kill her for betraying Doflamingo, but Violet urged Luffy to leave and continue toward the Royal Palace.

Violet led Xi Yan, Luffy, and Kyros toward Doflamingo while Gladius tried to stop them, only to discover Xi Yan’s living wooden dragon resisted his power. At the Great Gate, the group paused to wait for the Tontatta operation, while Doflamingo questioned Law and suspected the Straw Hats had uncovered the Donquixote Family’s secrets.

After briefly cutting Trebol apart, Usopp learned that he could reform and continued attacking with his slingshot and newly revealed Devil Fruit power, but Trebol survived his explosive strike and prepared to finish him off.

• Usopp shed his Donquixote Family disguise, told the Tontatta that Uso Landu was a lie, and declared his real name and pirate identity.

• Trebol survived the explosion by moving to high ground with Sugar, then set Sugar down and prepared to attack Usopp again.

Usopp drove the Tontatta and others out of the battlefield, then used an explosive dust attack that destroyed the Executive Tower but failed to defeat Trebol and Sugar. His attempt to hypnotize Trebol backfired, leaving Usopp trapped in his own gas and at Trebol’s mercy.

• Usopp used Clover Fan to blow the Tontatta, Robin, and Perona out of the battlefield so he could attack without endangering them.

• Trebol restrained and beat the drowsy Usopp, while Robin and Perona watched helplessly and Sugar urged Trebol to kill him.

Usopp was beaten unconscious, but Sugar forced him to eat the super-spicy Tabasco Star, and his explosive reaction frightened her into passing out. The toys returned to human form across Dressrosa, the former toys turned on the Donquixote Family, and Doflamingo realized his control of the country was collapsing.

• Trebol told Doflamingo that a Straw Hat pirate had leveled the Executive Tower, then kept Sugar near the unconscious Usopp.
• Sugar threw the Tabasco Star into Usopp's mouth, and he screamed as flames burst from his mouth, frightening Sugar into fainting.
• Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit power ended, restoring Nico Robin, Perona, the Tontatta, and the other toys to human form.
• The restored people attacked the Donquixote Family underlings, while Leo and Flapper celebrated the success of the SOP Operation.
• Trebol told Doflamingo that Sugar had passed out and the toys were turning back into humans; Doflamingo then saw the change himself on the Colosseum broadcast.

Sugar’s defeat restored Dressrosa’s transformed people, allowing Kyros to confront Doflamingo and seemingly kill him. Xi Yan realized the beheaded Doflamingo was a clone, and Pica attacked the group from beneath the palace.

• The toys across Dressrosa returned to human form, and Doflamingo received reports of the chaos as Law and King Riku realized what had happened.
• Kyros charged into the Royal Palace, beheaded Doflamingo, and defeated Buffalo and Baby-5 while freeing King Riku.
• Luffy arrived to rescue Law, who urged him to leave and prioritize destroying the Factory, while Luffy insisted their alliance was not over.
• Xi Yan noticed Doflamingo’s body was not bleeding, and the severed head laughed before Doflamingo confirmed it was a clone.
• Pica burst from beneath the group with a Stone Spike, and Xi Yan assured Violet that Zoro was safe but probably lost.

Xi Yan left Luffy to fight Doflamingo and went to find Marine Admiral Fujitora, while Doflamingo revealed his plan to unleash the Birdcage and kill everyone in Dressrosa outside his family. Luffy saved the people Doflamingo threw from the Royal Palace, and Doflamingo began raising the Birdcage.

• Violet told Xi Yan that Fujitora was near the Toy House with Marines who had stopped attacking, so Xi Yan set off to find him after Luffy said he could handle Doflamingo.
• Doflamingo announced that he would use the Birdcage, while Kyros attacked his clone and Luffy rushed in to protect him from Doflamingo’s real body.
