Long Summary
Luffy, the crew, and the kids are all having fun while Law and Smoker talk. It is revealed in a flashback that Law and Luffy plan to take down Kaido of the 100 beasts. After the feast the straw hats are about to set sail and leave. While they are seeing the kids off, the navy starts insulting them and they put up a barricade so the children can't see them. The children are crying and are sad and they remember how the straw hats helped them and say they want to say good-bye.

The navy continues to insult them and says that Pirates and no good and the navy is beautiful, the children are crying more and more so Tashigi tells them to stop insulting them, but they say that if they stop they'll start to like them and then they start crying. Tashigi starts to laugh. Law and the Straw Hats start to head to the Thousand Sunny, and Zoro asks why Law is going with them, and Usopp tells him that Luffy got them into more trouble.

Doflamingo is seen going but then stops when he sees the life raft from his tanker. He sees Baby 5 and Buffalo's heads on it and a Den Den Mushi that resembles Law. Law tells him that they have Caesar and says that since he can't produce SMILE anymore his business partner Kaido will get angry and Doflamingo will be killed. Doflamingo tries to negotiate with Law, but Law says that there is only one thing he can do: resign from being a Shichibukai. It shocks everyone on the raft and then Law says that if its not in the paper by tomorrow morning he won't give back Caesar then hangs up. It ends with Doflamingo looking really angry and cursing Law.

Anime Notes

 * The following are added in the anime:
 * Robin asking Franky about the Mini Merry.
 * The departure from Punk Hazard is extended.
 * A brief scene of Nami feeding Luffy a leg of meat and Sanji jokingly smacking him is shown during Mocha's speech about the Straw Hats saving her and her friends.
