Long Summary
Back on Punk Hazard, Caesar Clown's former minions go in a search for those who were petrified by Shinokuni. All a sudden, Doflamingo appears from the sky and throws Baby 5 and Buffalo's heads back on to their body. Before any of the G-5 soldiers could attack, Doflamingo used Conqueror's Haki and knocked out a very large majority of them. Even then, the remainig soldier couldn't move because of his devil fruit powers. Doflamingo even has some of the G-5 soldiers kill each other demanding the whereabouts of Law. Smoker steps into the fight, launching White Blow at Doflamingo. As the fight progressed, some G-5 soldiers decide to aid Smoker. Doflamingo moved to confront the soldiers but his attack hit Smoker instead as he was moving to defend the soldiers and was severely injured.

Back on the Sunny, Luffy ask why are they going to Dressrosa. Law states he has business to attend to. All of a sudden, the sea current start to shift at an angle as they to slide down a sea slope. After they get out of rough water, Luffy explains to the crew about the alliance and the plan to kill Kaido.

Back to Punk Hazard, Doflamingo is right about to unleash the final blow onto Smoker. Then, Kuzan appears and asked Doflamingo to step aside as he's his friend.

Anime Notes

 * The following are added in the anime:
 * An additional scene with the Straw Hats relaxing on the Thousand Sunny after leaving Punk Hazard.
 * During the same scene, Franky mentions the order of people who asked him about the Mini-Merry and a flashback with Franky finding the Thousand Sunny is shown.
 * Kin'emon and Momonosuke having a cup of tea.
 * While Franky was telling the story about retrieving the Thousand Sunny and Mini-Merry in the manga, the Sunny was on a seaslope. In the anime, the Sunny was on calm waters.
 * During Doflamingo's confrontation with G-5 in the manga, he cuts them with his strings. Instead in the anime, Doflamingo uses his strings to make them shoot each other. In addition Doflamingo also stomps on a wounded G-5 marine asking about Law and the Straw Hats, before Smoker intervened.
 * Smoker and Doflamingo are shown having a real battle before Smoker is grievously wounded.
 * This is the first time Doflamingo's ability is referred to as a Devil Fruit power in the anime while in the manga, it wasn't said to be a Devil Fruit power until later in the Dressrosa Arc.
