He says, "Ah, then may I also participate as an interested observer?" The Marines are startled, asking, "?", "WHO ARE YOU!?", and "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?" The man continues, "Ah, then again, perhaps it's not entirely accurate to describe myself as an 'observer.' Still, this is quite an impressive gathering of individuals." Mihawk, Doflamingo, and Kuma all look over at the newcomer. The man tap-dances and spins his cane, saying, "Nevertheless... I have come here today, In the hopes..." Page 8: The tap-dancing man reveals himself. He is pale, wearing a top hat, a patterned shirt, and carrying a cane. He tips his hat and finishes his sentence, "That I may be allowed to participate. Forgive my presumptuousness, but in light of Crocodile's title revocation, You must be looking for a replacement, are you not...?" Tsuru recognizes him and says, "You must be Lafitte, right?" Lafitte smiles and replies, "Ah, you are aware of my name? I am most honoured." Tsuru explains his background to the others: "An infamous sheriff of West Blue who crossed an acceptable level of violence in his means. He's since been chased out of his country..." Lafitte dismisses this, saying, "Hoho... All in the past, and of no concern in the current discussion. I have only come to nominate a certain man to the position of Shichibukai."
