One report says, "DOFLAMINGO IS OUT OF THE SHICHIBUKAI!!" and another voice asks, "BUT WHY!? ISN'T THERE ANY MORE INFORMATION!?" Someone shouts that "THEY'RE DEFINITELY PLANNING SOMETHING!!" Kid focuses less on Doflamingo and more on the rival alliance printed in the paper. "HOW DID OUR ALLIANCE GET LEAKED!!?" he demands, while the explanation remains uncertain: "SOME FREELANCER NAMED 'ABSA,' WHO'S HE!?" A voice notes, "HE'S BEEN PUTTING OUT A WHOLE LOT OF SCOOPS LATELY," but the bigger issue is Luffy and Law. Kid says, "THE REAL PROBLEM IS THIS... 'STRAWHAT' AND 'TRAFALGAR'!!" He guesses their target is the same as his: "I BET THAT THEIR AIM IS THE SAME AS OURS - TAKING DOWN ONE OF THE YONKOU!!" Then he grins and asks the crucial question: "BUT WHICH ONE COULD IT BE!!?" Page 3: In Dressrosa, the palace Den Den Mushi rings endlessly: "PURU RURU RURU," "PURU RURU RURU," "PURU RURU RURU." The city itself is labeled "DRESS-ROSA," and anxious voices call, "YOUR HIGHNESS!!" Doflamingo finally answers, his face dark and smiling: "IT'S ME... I'VE RESIGNED FROM THE SHICHIBUKAI." The room erupts in disbelief. Someone whispers, "IT'S HIM!" another confirms, "IT'S REALLY HIM!!" and the others scramble to silence themselves: "SHHHH!! SHHHHH!! HE'LL HEAR YOU GUYS!" Doflamingo's resignation is no rumor. He speaks it himself, directly to his own kingdom, and that makes the impossible newspaper headline real. For his subordinates, the voice on the line is not just a report; it is their king and boss personally confirming that the world they depended on has changed overnight.
