Doflamingo returned to the Donquixote Family, learned of Rossi’s plans through Lami, and vowed that Rossi would soon return.

The chapter ended with Lami warning that their return to the struggle for the Throne could make the whole world turn against them.

• Perospero told Charlotte Linlin that Doflamingo had destroyed the Five Peaks Pirates, and the Family considered what Rossi’s return and their space-piercing invention could mean for the balance of power.

• As Zoro and Nami challenged Robin’s choice, Rossi spoke through Luffy and objected to hiding everything.
• A blinding force descended from the clouds, vaporized the courtyard into a vast crater, and left only a charred fragment where the cat-masked man had stood.

Luffy stopped Nico Robin from sacrificing herself to protect the crew, defeated Who's-Who, and confronted the agents who had been pursuing her. Robin chose to continue sailing with the Straw Hats, while Rob Lucci attacked Roronoa Zoro.

• Luffy struck Who's-Who into a crater with a lightning-charged attack, leaving the disguised agents stunned.
• The agents removed their masks and admitted to Iceburg that they had sought the blueprints, while Luffy demanded to know why Robin had acted as she did.

• Rossi accepted the Straw Hat Pirates' request to accompany him and sensed powerful hostile presences around Dressrosa.
• The Straw Hat Pirates traveled aboard a Sea Train with Iceburg while it towed the modified Black Cat.

• The Sea Train entered the tunnel, and Iceburg explained that Devil Fruit abilities had enabled its construction.

The Straw Hat crew crossed the Red Line by Sea Train and set out for Dressrosa, unaware that a massive war was already raging there. Doflamingo faced Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and two members of the Five Elders as the battle intensified.

• Iceburg explained that Morley and Pica had carved the tunnel through the Red Line, then gave Nami a Dressrosa-patterned Log Pose and wished the crew well.
• The Black Cat left the Sea Train at the fortress harbor, and the crew departed for Dressrosa to find Rossi’s kin, Trafalgar Law’s group, and a way to help their teacher.

Rossi, controlling Luffy’s body, fought Big Mom and seized Zeus, then joined him to Luffy as armor and a lightning blade. He rushed Kaido and called for a switch, leaving Luffy’s body swelling under the strain of the attack.

• Rossi struck Kaido with the lightning blade, which pierced the dragon’s scales.
• Rossi called “Switch” and then “Chaos” as Sanji moved toward another group of fighters and Luffy’s body began to swell under the strain.
