Short Summary
During the confusion within the arena, Sabo grabs the Mera Mera no Mi and eats it, before using his new powers to escape while bringing Rebecca to safety. Once out of the way, he reveals himself as the second in command of the revolutionary army along with his comrades, Koala and Hack, and their mission is to find and destroy the weapons factory hidden here.

In the underground port, Usopp is seen by the trapped pirates and gladiators as a saint who rescued them from their terrible fate, and he manages to enlist them in the destruction of the weapon factory.

At the palace, Kyros held his own against Doflamingo's soldiers while Luffy and Viola go to unlock Law's chains, despite the latter's protest to kill him if he does so. However, Pica arrives, and Doflamingo turns out to be alive despite having been decapitated. The pirate announces his intent to use the "bird cage", which startles Law.

Long Summary
After Sabo smashes the arena to pieces, the crowd runs in fear due to the chaos and the rising water. As Burgess and Diamante struggle to get ground and Rebecca holds on tight to the frantic Bartolomeo, Sabo jumps to the Fighting Fish carrying the Mera Mera no Mi, shocking Diamante and Gatz, who never intended anyone to get the Devil Fruit. As the crowd panics, Sabo takes the fruit, eats it, comments on its bad taste, and jumps to get Rebecca, leaving Bartolomeo behind. As they fall, Sabo's disguise falls off.
