Trafalgar Law stepped into the room.
The door closed behind him.
Luffy turned around and smiled.
"Law!"
Law tipped his hat slightly.
"So you're all here."
Nami crossed her arms.
"Of course we are. You called us."
Sanji leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.
"So, Surgeon, you gonna explain the plan now?"
Law walked to the table in the center of the room. He pulled out a map and spread it open.
"Tomorrow is the day we take down Doflamingo," Law said.
"Finally," Luffy replied.
Robin stepped closer and looked at the map.
"This is going to be hard, isn't it?"
Law nodded.
"Yes. Doflamingo controls everything here. The palace, the streets, even the people."
Usopp swallowed.
"That sounds really bad."
"It is," Law replied.
Nami leaned over the map.
"What about Caesar?"
"My crew is guarding him," Law said.
"In case he tries to escape."
Luffy frowned.
"So how do we take down Mingo?"
"I'll take him down," Law replied.
Sanji blew out smoke 🚬.
"This better work, Surgeon."
"Caesar is the key," Law said.
"Without him, Doflamingo can't make SMILE."
Robin nodded.
"And without SMILE, Kaido loses his weapons."
"Yes," Law said.
"That's when Kaido will turn on Doflamingo."
Luffy grinned.
"So we break everything."
Law sighed.
"That's one way to say it."
Brook raised his hand.
"Yohoho~ And what about the toys?"
Everyone looked at Robin.
"Once we defeat the person who turned them into toys," Robin said,
"I believe everyone will return to normal."
Usopp's face went pale.
"That doesn't sound easy at all."
Zoro suddenly woke up.
"Huh—what? Who's there?"
He fell back asleep immediately.
Law looked at Zoro.
"Explain this to him tomorrow."
Elsewhere — Hillside
Amy lay on her back, breathing hard.
"I can't feel my legs."
Emma dropped beside her.
"My arms are gone."
Alice stood a few steps away, shaking.
Her fist turned dark red, then faded.
Her Haki flickered… then stayed.
Alice stared at her hand.
"…It worked."
Emma lifted her head.
"You did it?"
Amy sat up slowly.
"Wait… really?"
Alice nodded.
"I can use advanced Armament now."
Noah opened his eyes and sat up.
"Good. But it's not complete."
Emma laughed weakly.
"What do you mean?"
Noah looked at Alice's arm, still coated in Haki.
"It's not strong yet," Noah said.
"But you'll improve."
Alice smiled.
"I'll do my best."
Noah smirked.
"The sun's coming up. Rest for a few minutes."
The girls smiled and relaxed.
MEANWHILE — Back to the Straw hats.
Law folded the map.
"We split up," he said.
"One group attacks the factory."
Usopp nodded quickly.
"I can help with that!"
Law pointed at Luffy.
"You and I go straight for Doflamingo."
Luffy grinned.
"I'm ready whenever you are."
Nami sighed.
"I'll let Rebecca and the others know the plan."
Sanji smiled.
"I'll protect Nami and Robin."
Robin smiled back.
"As always."
Law looked at Luffy seriously.
"If we're going to beat him, we need to work together."
Luffy laughed.
"Okay!"
Law sighed.
"This will be a long day."
Back on the Hillside.
Emma sat up.
"So… today's the day?"
"Yes," Noah replied.
Alice clenched her fist.
"This time, we'll be ready."
Amy smiled nervously.
"…I think."
Noah rested his sword on his shoulder.
"Remember. Don't lose, no matter what."
Emma nodded.
"Yes, Captain."
They all held hands.
"Vector Manipulation: Flying Thunder God."
Blip ⚡️
MEANWHILE — Dressrosa Castle.
"Sir, they're moving," a man said.
Trebol giggled.
"Fuffuffuffu~ Just like you said."
Diamante smiled.
"The Straw Hats never disappoint."
Three figures stood behind Doflamingo.
One of them spoke.
"We will handle that Noah brat."
Doflamingo smiled.
"Good."
Another voice followed.
"We've confirmed where Caesar is being held."
Doflamingo laughed loudly.
"Perfect."
Trebol laughed.
"Everything is going according to plan."
Doflamingo's smile widened.
"The Straw Hats' luck ends today."
Somewhere in Dressrosa.
Amy stretched.
"I'm getting excited."
"You've changed so much," Emma said.
Noah turned to the three girls.
"Today, we might face real monsters."
Emma swallowed.
"…We've already seen you."
Noah laughed.
"That's different."
He paused.
"I wonder if I should recruit Doflamingo."
"No," Emma said instantly.
Noah chuckled.
"Very well."
