• Dina told A Luo that she had rescued Malena from the secret room where Vito had kept her.
• A Luo and Dina recalled their plan to free Malena during the Mafia families’ tournament, but Dina insisted Vito must stay alive because his blood was needed to make the antidote for her poisoned mother.

She drew a bye, but after the remaining matches ended, she entered the ring for her next fight while a strange watcher in the crowd took interest in her.

• A Luo won the Champion title and, as she left the ring, Hisoka's Nen pulled her into the air toward his hot-air balloon.

Hisoka carried the injured A Luo away from the Beast Arena, while William revealed he had been monitoring the people around her and ordered his men to track the hot-air balloon.
