Xie Wen and his companions left the Sabaody Archipelago after Shirahoshi could barely enjoy its amusement park, then traveled toward Fish-Man Island while preparing a prank for King Neptune.

• Shakky told Xie Wen that the slave traders had fled the Sabaody Archipelago after hearing he was coming, and that Rayleigh had not returned since his whereabouts were exposed.

Xie Wen met CP0 agents Guernica, Joseph, and Gismonda at Dressrosa's Royal Palace, but Guernica's promise not to interfere disrupted the confrontation Xie Wen had expected. Xie Wen redirected Doflamingo toward Trafalgar Law, whose accusations about Corazon and Vergo left Doflamingo under the CP0 agents' scrutiny.

Law accepted Doflamingo’s duel wager, and the chapter ended with Xie Wen realizing Doflamingo had a specific interest in including Kuma.

• Law revealed that Vergo’s position in the Navy had helped lead to Corazon’s death, but Doflamingo argued that his status as a former Celestial Dragon would protect him from losing his Shichibukai title.
• Xie Wen suggested Vergo had sabotaged the Navy’s last operation, and Doflamingo deflected suspicion by claiming his pirate ambitions gave him no reason to help the Four Emperors.

• Guernica ordered Doflamingo to take Nico Robin after defeating Trafalgar Law, revealing CP0’s plan to remove her from Xie Wen’s side.
