Ace, Franky, Kin'emon, Donquixote Doflamingo, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji ### Summary Page 2: The name of the fruit hits Luffy directly. His face stiffens under his disguise and he shouts, "That Mera Mera no Mi!! I want it!!" Kin'emon realizes the weight behind the reaction: "Ah, that's right, Ace was your..." Luffy will not let Ace's flame become someone else's power. "I don't like the idea of someone else in the world walking around with Ace's power!!" In memory, Ace smiles and calls it "This... my 'Mera Mera' ability..." Luffy admits the practical problem: "I can't eat it, because I've already got the Gomu Gomu, but..." He turns to Franky. "Hmm would you eat it, Franky?" Franky refuses with his usual bluntness: "I'd rather be able to swim." Still, Luffy decides there is no walking away: "As long as we've got this chance, let's take it!!" Kin'emon recognizes the danger: "What Doflamingo said is enough for us to assume that this is a trap, but I'll say this much..." To him, "...so it's like a memento." Page 3: Kin'emon finishes the thought with a grin: "Living life with regrets is no fun. And we've got business at the Colosseum anyway, so let's go!!" Luffy answers instantly: "Yeah!!" The mood hardens as the men in the alley think about what waits there. One warns, "No one would be putting their lives on the line if just wanting it were enough..." Another adds, "Don't underestimate the level of play in the Colosseum...!!" Watching Luffy's group run away, someone mutters, "Those idiots..." Meanwhile, Zoro keeps chasing the thief who took his sword. The narration frames it as "Chasing after the mysterious 'fairy'." Sanji yells after him, "I said wait up!!! Who cares about a sword or two!! Just give up!" Zoro snaps back, "As if, you moron!!" The thief vanishes into the city. "Where'd it disappear to?" Zoro demands, while Sanji spots the scene ahead: "Did you see the fairy!?" The answer comes in surprise: "Wha!! That's...!!" Beyond them, music and dancing spill from a hall with "Stomp stomp," "Ching ching," "Strum," and "Strum ching clack."
