Nico Robin was caught up with the Tontatta while Law learned that Doflamingo’s resignation was fake and tried to arrange an escape. Law and Nico Robin’s plans were disrupted when Marine Admiral Fujitora arrived on Green Bit.

• Leo and the Tontatta nearly attacked Nico Robin to take her weapons, but stopped when they learned she was Usopp’s companion and Usopp had been hailed as their legendary hero.

Law confronted Doflamingo over his scheme and suspected that Doflamingo was a Celestial Dragon, while Fujitora weighed whether Law had violated the Shichibukai rules. After Law confirmed his alliance with the Straw Hat Crew, Fujitora attacked by summoning a meteor, leaving Law, Doflamingo, and Fujitora to fend off the falling threat.

• Fujitora sent a meteor falling from the sky, and Law, Doflamingo, and Fujitora each used their abilities to counter it.

Law was pursued by Doflamingo and Fujitora after their fight began, while the Straw Hat crew waited for news aboard their ship. Doflamingo captured Law and claimed that Luffy was trapped in the Colosseum fighting for the Diamond Fruit, leaving Law’s alliance in danger.
