In a snowy revolutionary town, the people raise their arms and cheer before the image of Gaburu, treating the fallen or missing hero as a symbol powerful enough to gather them together. Caribou remains tied to this strange mistaken-identity legend, while the crowd's energy makes the name Gaburu feel less like a man and more like a banner. Page 1: In front of Dressrosa's Corrida Colosseum, cheers roar from within, but outside the building the Straw Hats' scattered rescue plans keep colliding. Sanji is the first to snap, telling Kin'emon, "I've got way more business worrying about Nami-san than you do!! And you know that she'd much prefer that I save her!!" Zoro cuts through the argument with, "That's why I'm going!!" Sanji fires back, "Fine, just go then!!" Kin'emon receives a map and is told, "Kinemon, this is a map to the toy house where your friend is being held." He answers, "Ohhh many thanks!" Wicca and the others hand over a way to contact the ship: "If you're able to meet up with Luffy, this will connect you to the Sunny-Go!! Let's try to confirm everyone's whereabouts and safety." One group heads back toward the Sunny-Go while the others remain fixed on reaching Luffy inside the locked colosseum. Page 2: At the colosseum entrance, Sanji asks the obvious question: "So, how do we see Luffy?" Kin'emon admits that this is exactly why he has been stuck outside: "I know not, which is why I've been standing here, that it is!! Every entrance is firmly shut..." He remembers that acting strangely once led to his capture, yet his proposed solution is still, "Alright, should we cut down this wall?" Sanji and Zoro immediately object: "That counts as acting strangely, that it does!!" and "It's not a matter of your enthusiasm!" Kin'emon and Zoro compromise only in the most dangerous way possible: "Okay, we'll cut it gently." Behind the bars, Bartolomeo trembles at the sight of Zoro, crying, "That's the pirate hunter Zoro-senpai!!!" He praises Zoro's legend from Whiskey Peak to Enies Lobby, calls him Luffy's right hand and possible vice captain, then sobs, "He's soooo cool!! Hup, I can't stop crying..." Page 3: At Dressrosa's Royal Palace, Gladius' rage is literally swelling out of him. Baby 5 approaches with caution: "Gladius..." then, "Could you calm down a little?" Gladius can barely contain himself. "Baby-5... The betrayal of that woman... do you have any idea how much she's screwed up our plans!?" He lays out the scale of Violet's treason: she captured "Black Leg Sanji" and extracted all of the enemies' strategies from his mind. With that knowledge, the Donquixote Family could have stopped the Straw Hats at every turn and "killed every one of them...!!" Instead, Violet turned on her own side. Gladius explodes further, asking what she did next: "Brought down her own men and ran away!?" Baby 5 panics as his body distorts: "Kyahhh calm down!! Are you gonna explode here and now!!?" Page 4: Gladius' fury keeps rising as the page identifies him as Donquixote Family (Pica Squad): Gladius. He snarls, "Now I've lost control of the plans and the time!! I hate it enough to die!!" Baby 5 admits the family cannot overlook this: "Not to mention that we... well... Anyone who betrays young master... we can't let them live!" Gladius begins thinking backward through Violet's behavior. With her clairvoyance, she should have found the Straw Hats' ship the previous day, yet she had been acting strangely since the night before. The implication is sharp: Violet did not merely fail to report the enemy; she deliberately protected them. The Donquixote Family now understands that the information network they trusted has been turned against them. Page 5: In northeast Dressrosa, on the road toward Green Bit, Sanji and Violet ride hard while adjusting the rendezvous. Sanji protests, "Noooo this just won't do, Violet-channn!!" but Violet stays focused on survival. An old man reminds her, "You have to keep your promise and wait for me at the harbor. Hehe hehe!" Violet answers that the harbor is already crawling with Marines and says it would be best to choose a different location for the meeting. Sanji reacts to the scale of the Marine presence: "Really, the Marines..." There are four battleships in all, and even a low estimate would put at least 3,000 Marines in the country. Violet is impressed that he gathered that information in such a short time. Their plan has changed because Dressrosa is no longer just Doflamingo's trap; it is also surrounded by Navy pressure. Page 6: Violet reassures Sanji that he should not worry...
