Short Summary
Kin'emon has finally found Kanjuro who was hiding in the walls of the scrap heap. After a brief reunion, Kanjuro uses his ability to create a poorly drawn sparrow to fly them out to the surface, but the trapped Dressrosa citizens and soldiers begged to be taken along as well.

At the new palace tower, the colosseum army are still clashing with the Donquixote army allowing Luffy, Law, Kyros and Cavendish to escape towards the third level in order to reach level four. Cavendish tells Luffy that Doflamingo's greatest mistake was to allow so many strong fighters from different countries to arrive on Dressrosa sowing the seeds of his downfall, and the only way to stop Birdcage was to kill Doflamingo. Once they reached the third level, the group ran into several giant puppet soldiers blocking their path to level four.

On the Pica statue, the duel between Pica and Zoro was interrupted by the arrival of Robin's group who asked him to defeat Pica so that they can meet Luffy at level four. Pica then disappear only to reappear at the neck of the statue and controlling the arm into smashing the Straw Hats, but Zoro quickly sends a powerful attack at Pica, wounding him, also declaring that he will become the greatest swordman within the Strawhats.

Long Summary
In the scrap yard of Dressrosa, Kinemon finds his friend Kanjuro and weeps over his reunion with him. Dressrosa soldiers note how Kanjuro came out of the wall while Kinemon appologizes for making him wait. Kanjuro states there is no need and knew he would return for him while eating his own-drawn cabbage in his hand. He offers some to Kinemon, but he states his cabbage makes his stomach hurt. He tells him he has much to tell him and that they need to leave this place immediatelly due to the situation on top of Dressrosa. Kanjuro agreed and draws a bird on the wall and shouts "come forth" as his drawing comes to life, much to the shock of the Dressrosa citizens and soldiers. They note that despite that his bird came to life, his artwork is terrible and barely looks like it will fly. Before they leave, Citizens of Dressrosa asks the samurais to let them come with them stating they have family on the island and wish to reunite with them.

The scene changes back to the battlefield of Dressrosa as the Don Quixote family tries to stop Luffy, Law, Cavendish and Kyros (all riding Farul) but they are all kicked away by Blue Gilly. Dellinger then rushes from behind and kicks him with his Decapitation High Heal and defeats him. Luffy notices this but Cavendish tells him not to be destracted. He goes on stating Doflamingo's whole Bird Cage game is a farce and that even if they deliver all 12 of the people on Doflamingo's hit list he will never let anyone live now that the knowledge of his arms dealing and toy opperation is out everyone is guaranteed dead. He states that Doflamingo will stop at nothing to make sure that information isn't leaked out and that Dressrosa is now an island isolated from the rest of the world and that pressing foward and taking Doflamingo's head is the only way to get off the island. He states that though Doflamingo is one step ahead of everyone he made a grave error: on the island is powerful fighters from all over the Grand Line as many fighters (Sai, Ideo, Harjruden) face off against the Don Quixote Family Officers. Once Cavendish states he'll take Doflamingo's head he gets into an arguement with Luffy, Law and Kyros over who'll take down Doflamingo. Luffy argues with Kyros over how Kyros wanted to have Diamante but Kyros says he wishes to restore Riku's honor and has a ten year old debt to repay. This prompts Law to state he has a thirteen year old debt and Luffy stating he has a thirty year old one, which has Cavendish snapping at him for lying to make himself look good. Once they arrive at the third level they are confronted by large toy puppets.

The scene changes to Zoro vs Pica. Pica is winded in his fight with Zoro as Zoro mocks him over trying to take Luffy's head. Pica charges his weapon at Zoro, but the swordsman cuts along his arm which has Pica swap out with a stone statue. He then merges behind Zoro and strikes with Pulpo Stone but Zoro dodges and notices Robin's group flying overhead. As Zoro asks how they are flying Bartolomeo takes joy in seeing Zoro again and asks for his autograph. Rebecca takes notice of Pica in Fear while Robin asks Zoro to keep Pica busy so they can reach the fourth level. Zoro agrees just as Bartolomeo notices Pica having merged back in the large stone body. Pica aims his fist at them as Bartolomeo notes he won't be able to block it. Zoro then uses Santoryu: 1080 Pound Cannon that finally injures the Stone user. As Rebecca stares amazed while Robin is relieved by Zoro's actions, Zoro tells Pica that the Straw Hats aren't just "God Usopp" and Straw Hat Luffy that are of the most threat, but he will one day become the greatest swordsman in the world and that Pica was never in his league to begin with. Bartolomeo weeps uncontrollably at Zoro's actions.
