Short Summary
At an island in the new world, the parents of the kidnapped children are begging the G-5 marines to help search for the children, but their superior, Commodore Yarisugi harshly refused them aid and told them that the children died in an accident at sea but the parents refuse to believe such outlandish claims. Bach at Punk Hazard, Nami and Usopp are having a hard time containing the children who have woken up from their sleep, until Caesar Clown showed up ready to take the children back to his lab. At the central lake, the slime creature changed its shape into that of an Axolotl and attacked Zoro, Sanji, Brooks and Kinemon causing them to flee towards the research Facility. At the Facility, the G-5 marines are trying to blow up the door to rescue their captain. Meanwhile, Vergo and Monet are inside Caesar's research room with their captives, Luffy, Robin, Franky as well as Smoker, Tashigi, and Trafalgar. Vergo states that everyone here will die and he will report their deaths as accidents. Trafalgar reveals that joker was an alias to his one-time captain, Donquixote Doflamingo.
