All of a sudden, a massive barrier hurtled toward Gladius and Cavendish, knocking down one of Doflamingo's subordinates after another along the way. It was Bartolomeo!
At the same time, Gladius rushed forward, forcing Cavendish to run as well. He shouted, "Stop it already, Bartolomeo! I'm here too, you know!"
But Bartolomeo said, "Sorry, Cabbage, but I've got a reason I can't stop!"
Cavendish asked, "And what reason is that?"
Bartolomeo said, "My emotions are running high!"
Cavendish immediately cursed, "Running high my ass!"
Bartolomeo said with unusual excitement, "They just keep rising! I'm going berserk!"
Cavendish said, "What the hell are you talking about? Stop already!"
Yet Bartolomeo kept pushing toward them. "Can't do it."
Gladius called out to Dellinger, who was standing high up in the distance. "Dellinger!"
Gladius asked, "Is the second level not cleared out yet?"
Dellinger asked, "What are you doing, Gladius? I'm already finished over here."
Gladius said, "Come to the third level and give me a hand! Nico Robin is trying to get upstairs, and I can't get away while dealing with these two idiots."
Covering his mouth, Dellinger said happily and coolly, "Got it. Sounds like fun." But just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed his arm. "I told you not to look around, didn't I?" the blood-covered man said.
Dellinger said, "Oh dear, what a troublesome Longarm. The bones sticking out from your shoulders are really strange."
Suddenly, Dellinger's face twisted into a sinister expression. "Your stomach's already been pierced through. Just die quietly, Fighting Champion."
The man across from him panted heavily, clutching his stomach. Through a mouth missing a tooth, he said, "I can't do that. A man's world values loyalty and brotherhood. If I fall here, how could I ever face my dead brothers?"
