Short Summary
The battle royale is underway in the colosseum with 138 warriors, with those from the Prodence Kingdom as well as bribed combatants forming a protective ring around the fighting king Elizabello II to ensure the country's chance of taking the Mera Mera no Mi for themselves. Many of the B block fighters proceed to fight their way through each other while avoiding the water surrounding the ring which is infested with Dressrosa's dangerous fighting fish. While this was all going on, Bartolomeo lazily watches the fighting while doing nothing.

Meanwhile Luffy and Cavendish are watching the battle royale while Cavendish wonders why none of the Worst Generation rookies have shown up since the prize is too good to pass up and believes that they are in disguise like Burgess and are waiting for the elimination rounds to end. Then Chinjao shows up behind the two pirate captains and exposes Luffy while asking how Garp is doing. Cavendish seems quite shocked to hear the real identity of Luffy.

Long Summary
As the B Block gets into full swing, the crowds start calling foul for the team up but the announcer states it's within the rules as Dagama has his men defend Elizabello, who has the power to crush his enemies or make holes in walls with one punch though the only drawback is that it takes an hour for him to focus his power. Elizabello currently is up to strength and waiting on Dagama to give the word. Lepanto meanwhile focuses on fighting Bellamy, stating he's just fighting for the money. Bellamy avoids his attack while it hits a few others and knocks them into the ocean outside the ring, which not only disqualifies them but puts them in danger of the "School of Little Fighting Fish".

Jeet and Abdullah take out a bunch of warriors easily while another taunts against a karate fishman, Hack, who quickly knocks him aside. Dagama's troops suddenly run into trouble against another fighter, a martial artist of the Long Leg Tribe, Bluegilly, whose Jao Kun Do fighting style is knocking them away like ragdolls.

In another section a mysterious fighter only known as Ricky is catching most of the gladiator's attention. Two of them try their luck against him but he dodges their attack easily, gets behind them and knocks them out. As all this goes on, the audience notice that none of the gladiators have touch Bartolomeo who lays on the side of the ring observing the battle.

Meanwhile up in the stands, Luffy and Cavendish are watching the battle with the latter still harping on about "The Worst Generation" Supernova and how he needs to get new bounty posters for them. Cavendish state he has a feeling most of them have come to the Colosseum and disguised himself but he's willing to wait for the roster to thin. Suddenly Don Chinjao comes up to the two and ask Luffy how Garp is doing. Luffy ask if he knows his grandfather, before realizing his cover's been exposed. As Cavendish reels from shock, Chinjao states Garp almost killed him back in the past and he intends to exact his revenge by killing Luffy.

Chapter Notes

 * It is said that Elizabello II has a punch so powerful that it can shatter a wall as well as knock out a Yonko if it lands cleanly. However, he needs an hour to warm up before he can use it and can only use it one time during a battle.
 * Three of the fighters have been eliminated by falling out of the ring and into the water surrounding it.
 * Fighting fish appear for the first time. They are shown surrounding the ring in the Corrida Colosseum.
 * Bellamy reveals a new technique: "Spring Death Knock".
 * Hack uses Fishman Karate and is also a friend of Jinbe.
 * Bluegilly is a member of the Longleg Tribe and a martial artist specializing in kicks.
 * Ricky is noted by his opponents for his odd strength and unorthodox fighting methods which seem to be familiar to one spectator.
 * Gladiators that regulary fight in Corrida Colosseum are given sword and shield training.
 * Chinjao knows Lucy is Luffy. He also reveals that he knows Garp and that he almost got killed by him in the past. This causes Luffy to blow his cover in front of Cavendish, much to the latter's shock.
