The reader request illustration shows Sanji doing strenuous lifting exercises by using armadillos as weights. The caption reads: "Sanji does some awesome lifting exercises using armadillos" - sent in by Koge-buta of Kyoto. It does not advance the Dressrosa plot, but it is a useful extra because it provides the chapter title and a light cover-request image before the story returns to the colosseum, palace route, and the wider political stakes around Fujitora. Page 1: The Corrida Colosseum reaches its climax. The announcer declares that all that remains is the final, though the situation has changed from what everyone expected: instead of four officers fighting in the final matches, Diamante himself suddenly confirms his participation. The crowd roars for Diamante-sama, excited that the colosseum's hero and minister will enter the tournament. At the same time, medics rush through the corridors, carrying the injured from the ruined D-block and shouting for the medical room. The final is being prepared while the aftermath of Hakuba's attack is still being dragged away on stretchers. Page 2: Rebecca notices Lucy and calls out to him, not realizing that this Lucy is now Sabo in disguise. Sabo answers that he is also in the finals, and Rebecca is confused by his casual tone. He tells her that things may get messy, but that it is all just on the surface, because this country reminds him of the place where he grew up. He also says he is fairly aware of her background, which makes Rebecca wonder who this person is and why he is speaking to her so familiarly. Sabo's words are calm, but they reveal that he sees Dressrosa not as a tournament stage, but as another kingdom built on rotten foundations. Page 3: At the King's Plateau, Violet explains the route into the palace. She has entry permits for the group, and the lift that rises from the plateau can take them to the Royal Palace, but if they are discovered, the lift will be stopped and the mission will be over. At the lift to the entry of the palace, the disguised group draws closer while Violet warns that they must avoid exposure. In the middle of this tension, the disguises create confusion: Sanji, hidden in animal-like cover, recognizes Violet and gushes over his beloved Violet-chan, while Luffy, Zoro, and Kin'emon move with her toward the palace path. Page 4: The group questions Violet's loyalty after remembering that Sanji went to save their ship because she had wounded him. They also recall that she claimed to work for Mingo. Sanji insists she was only pretending to be Doflamingo's subordinate, and Violet confirms it by reminding them of her ability: she has been watching what the Straw Hats, and the one-legged Soldier-san, have been doing all along. She says she has seen how Soldier-san, in place of her deceased older sister, raised Rebecca, and how he started fighting beside them. As she cries, she thanks Luffy for believing in her father, revealing both her identity and her reason for helping. Page 5: Luffy finally understands who Violet is and blurts out that she is a princess. Someone reasons that if Rebecca is the king's granddaughter, then Violet must be Rebecca's mother, but Violet corrects them: Rebecca is her niece, her sister's daughter. She leads the group to a hidden gate and tells them to head in. The passage has been passed down through generations of the Riku line, an emergency passageway that even Doflamingo does not know about. Inside is a long vertical shaft with stairs and a basket for lifting supplies. Violet explains that they can reach the palace by climbing those stairs, turning the old royal secret into the Straw Hats' route forward. Page 6: The group comes up with a crude but effective way to climb the secret shaft. Violet tells Luffy to take a large rock and bring it all the way to the top. Kin'emon and the others realize that if Luffy throws the rock and grabs the chain, the counterweight mechanism can pull them upward as the rock falls. Luffy immediately likes the wild idea, shouting that he has it and that he will be right back. As he launches himself into the plan, Violet urges him to hurry. Luffy then tells the kunoichi to quickly join them too, dragging the hidden royal passage into one of his usual improvised solutions. Page 7: The scene cuts to the toy house, where Franky continues his attack. Guards call him sneaky as he smashes through debris and enemies with explosive force. Franky fires his "Rocket Launcher," sending a blast across the battlefield while people scatter and shout that this man is da...
