Luffy ### Summary Page 16: Inside the palace, Diamante insists on his public role while Doflamingo arrives with a request. Diamante boasts, "THAT'S RIGHT- I'M THE HERO OF THE COLOSSEUM!!" and says, "IF YOU'RE GONNA GO THAT FAR THEN I'LL ADMIT IT!!" Doflamingo calls, "HEY, HEY, HEY," and tells him, "I'VE BROUGHT IT, DOFFY!!" but Diamante's exaggerated modesty continues: "OKAY THEN, YOU'RE NOT..." "THAT'S BETTER... NOW SIT." The silhouettes of the Donquixote executives gather as Doflamingo explains why he came: "IF HE WERE TO KNOW ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE... STRAWHAT LUFFY WOULD SURELY COME FOR THIS. AND THAT ALLIANCE WOULD BECOME NOTHING BUT A BURDEN TO HIM!!" In the shadowed room, the suits of the Donquixote Family face Doflamingo, and the conversation turns from panic to counterattack. Doflamingo is already preparing a lure. Page 17: Doflamingo reveals the bait. He tells Diamante, "DIAMANTE, I'M ENTRUSTING THIS WITH YOU." Diamante protests, "HOLD ON NOW, DOFFY. YOU CAN'T GIVE IT TO ME." The old routine of refusal continues: "BUT... I WANT TO." Diamante complains, "CUT IT OUT... TREATING ME LIKE SOME SORT OF GENIUS. BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY A GENIUS LIKE YOU. NAW... I MEAN..." Doflamingo knows the game and says that if Diamante is going that far, he has no choice but to admit it. Diamante finally roars, "THAT'S RIGHT - THAT BASTARD, STRAWHAT!!!! JUST LET HIM TRY TO GET IT!!" Doflamingo grins with the fruit in his hand and laughs, "FUFFUFFU I EXPECT HE'LL JUMP AT THE CHANCE..." The prize is named: "TO GET THE FRUIT THAT BEARS HIS BROTHER'S ABILITY, THE 'MERA MERA NO MI'!!"
