Short Summary
Luffy and Doflamingo battle using Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki, with both combatants managing to injure the other. However, Trebol ties Luffy and Law down with his mucus powers so that Doflamingo can finish Law off. Trebol remembers how he, Diamante, Vergo, and Pica encouraged a young Doflamingo to become the Pirate King and eliminated everything that opposed him. Trebol prepares to set the mucus around him on fire, but Law calls him Doflamingo's puppet, enraging him. Trebol leaps toward Law despite Doflamingo warning him not to, but Law activates a Room and slashes Trebol using Takt: Sword of Death. Meanwhile, the dwarves at the SMILE Factory begin to get uneasy as Trebol, now stripped of the mucus protecting him, swears to take Law with him as he spits on his lighter, causing a massive explosion.

Long Summary
Doflamingo asks Luffy why the pirate prevented him from smashing Law's head in as he tries to stomp on Law again. However, Luffy counters Doflamingo's strike again using Haoshoku Haki, shocking Trebol. Luffy and Doflamingo both use their Haoshoku Haki to try to overwhelm the other, as Trebol remembers a Doflamingo achieving it 30 years ago. He then told Doflamingo that the former World Noble was destined to be a king, and gave Doflamingo a gun as well as the Ito Ito no Mi so that Doflamingo could exact revenge on anyone he wanted dead. Trebol then boasts to Luffy that he will never be a match for his captain, as Doflamingo's fate as a World Noble was what triggered his insanity and rage.

Doflamingo manages to block most of Luffy's kicks with his arm, but Luffy manages to find an opening and kicks Doflamingo in the chest. He then punches Doflamingo twice in the face with Busoshoku Haki-imbued fists before using Gomu Gomu no Eagle Bazooka to finish Doflamingo off. However, Doflamingo evades his attack and kicks Luffy with Athlete Thread, sending him crashing into the edge of the palace roof.

Trebol intercepts Luffy and holds him down using his devil fruit powers so that Doflamingo can finally finish Law off. Luffy gets angry and attempts to punch Trebol, with no effect. Luffy gets confused, saying his Busoshoku Haki should have been able to bypass Trebol's Logia intangibility, but Trebol asks Luffy if he truly is a Logia, saying that Luffy's attacks could not harm him. Law tells Luffy that fighting against Trebol is futile, and insults Trebol, saying he was glad he never sat on the Heart Seat, as would have had to associate himself with buffoons like Trebol. This enrages Trebol, who attacks Law with Beta Betton Launcher, immobilizing the Shichibukai despite Luffy's angry remarks. Trebol then prepares to teach Law a lesson.
