Rossi and the Donquixote crew struggled to hold off Patrick Redfield after their carefully coordinated attack failed to seriously injure him. Redfield sought access to Rossi’s memories, but the chapter ended with him offering to trade a way to fool Observation Haki for Rossi’s method of creating a perception-blocking “vacuum.”

• Trebol steeled himself to face the powerful figures as Riku recognized the gravity of the crisis, while the red-haired observer predicted that the Family's resistance would not change the outcome.

As the Red Count’s phantoms attacked Dressrosa, Doffy and his allies fought to stop the Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin while the royal army mobilized. The battle remained undecided as Bainessarna and Gladius headed toward the front, and Gary absorbed Zeus’s lightning.

• Bainessarna rejected Viola’s suggestion to contact the island officers, then set out with Gladius while Scarlet insisted on joining them to report on the battle.

• Doflamingo awakened his Devil Fruit, turning the battlefield and its surroundings into a vast kingdom of pale threads.
