Short Summary
Sanji gives Kin'emon the map to to the toy house and leaves with Violet to find their ship. Meanwhile, Zoro and Kin'emon are looking for a way to enter the Corrida Colosseum while trying not to draw any attention to themselves. However, they've already been spotted by Bartolomeo, who gushes over seeing one of his idols, Zoro.

Meanwhile, Sanji and Violet are racing towards the Thousand Sunny on a toy horse. Violet tells Sanji that the port is full of Marines and reveals to him that she is able to see what is happening on the island using her devil fruit powers. Suddenly she sees the ship get struck by lightning.

Back on the ship, the Straw Hats and Momonosuke, who are on a restored Thousand Sunny, are beating up on Jora while Nami summons a thunderbolt upon her. As the Thousand Sunny heads for Green Bit, the Straw Hats talk about Doflamingo leaving the Shichibukai, which makes Jora laugh. This enrages Nami an she strikes Jora with a thunderbolt again. The sound of the thunder bolt attracts the attention of Fujitora. When Law realizes that it could be Nami, he deploys room and manages to escape, switching places with a rock, and successfully retrieving Caesar Clown. Law starts to run with Caesar while Doflamingo chases them. Law attempts to lead Doflamingo to the bridge.

Meanwhile, the Thousand Sunny is approaching Green Bit but is suddenly attacked by Fighting Fish. The crew begins to scream which attracts the attention of Doflamingo who notices the incoming ship. Doflamingo then heads towards the Thousand Sunny, telling Law he's going to kill all of them, when suddenly Sanji arrives and confronts Doflamingo.
