## One Piece Chapter 731, pages 14-16: Dressrosa Operation SOP - Chapter: 731 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Rebecca, Acilia, Bartolomeo, Monkey D. Luffy, Dellinger, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Donquixote Doflamingo, Koala, Nico Robin, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 14: Dellinger walks away, and the colosseum fight continues outside the corridor. The announcers and crowd shout that Acilia has allied with Rebecca and that together they are unstoppable. The supporters cry, "Keep this up Rebecca!!" and "Acilia!!" Rebecca pushes toward the final as the arena roars, while Luffy hears that the final battle is still moving forward without him. Dellinger's comments about Luffy agitate Bartolomeo, who notices that the stranger truly knows how to provoke Luffy-senpai. This page holds the tournament thread in place: Rebecca's chances rise with Acilia's support, while Bartolomeo remains torn between helping Luffy escape and securing Ace's fruit for him. Page 15: Bartolomeo's emotions finally overflow. His face fills the page as he sobs with his mouth open, unable to contain what Luffy's trust and the mention of Ace mean to him. Outside the colosseum, people hear the crying and ask why Luffy is crying nonstop, thinking he is finally worn out. The disguise confusion continues in the streets, where the Marines mistake strange animal outfits for toys and nearly discover the escaping group because their costumes are too odd. Luffy, still crying, says there is no problem with the Fire Fruit anymore, but he still has to save Law and beat up Doflamingo. The comedy of the costumes and tears sits on top of a very real decision: the Straw Hats' next goal is fixed. Page 16: A new ally is revealed in the city: Koala, a revolutionary and Fishman Karate substitute teacher. She speaks by Den Den Mushi and reports that Robin seems to be in the country. She has wanted to see Robin again for a while, but says she will wait because there is no answer to whether Robin would have changed even if she had stayed with them. Koala smiles and says she would not possibly cry. She tells her contact to let her know when there is information on the underground situation, then adds that she has to go get Ace's Fire Fruit back. Her appearance ties the colosseum prize to the Revolutionary Army and confirms another force moving through Dressrosa.
