Short Summary

The Marines are having difficulty maintaining order in the streets of Dressrosa as they deal with rampaging animals and pillaging pirates as well as the absence of Admiral Fujitora.

Luffy is struggling against a Doflamingo clone and a controlled Bellamy while Law questions Doflamingo's feat in manipulating CP-0 and the World Government. Doflamingo explains that he learned of a national treasure that the World Nobles would not want revealed and uses it to blackmail them into granting him their power. Also he knows the full potential of Law's Ope Ope no Mi with its power to give eternal life at the cost of the user's own life but Law wasn't interested in using it and it was thanks to Corazon that he has the power to defeat Doflamingo.

Law then remembers his time in the Donquixote Pirates 16 years ago when he discovered he has little over three years to live, which fueled his desire to destroy. He was part of the newbies that recently joined the crew and was placed under the command of Corazon, a clumsy but talented officer of Doflamingo's crew. Law learned the hard way that Corazon hates children when he was thrown out the window.

Long Summary

At the north-west town of Dressrosa, Primula, the Marines are trying to stop the panicking animals that are rushing against Doflamingo's Birdcage, resulting in their big wounds. Meanwhile, pirates have been stealing loots from the towns and being attacked by another Marines. Vice admiral Maynard is soon informed by a Marine about the fight between Fujitora and Sabo which ended up in standstill. Maynard grow concerned about Fujitora's thought regarding World Government, and quickly ordered his men to ease the chaos whithin the said city, where pirates are rampaging through the town like crazy and people are dying. A girl was crying over her father.

Meanwhile on top of the palace, the Doflamingo's clone and Bellamy attacked Luffy, who retaliates using his legs to defend himself with a new attack called "Gomu Gomu no Octopus Stamp". However he is hit by Doflamingo's clone and thrown down from the palace. Doflamingo's clone and Bellamy followed him down, and taunting Luffy about what he didn't know what a fallen Tenryuubito can do. Luffy gets back and doesn't seem to care anything about it.

Law manages to stand back up on his feet. As the real Doflamingo prepares to kill him, Law questions Doflamingo about his fallen status and yet still have the ability to mobilize CP-0. Doflamingo reveals that he knows about "Mariejois' national treasure", which will shake the world if its existence is revealed to the public. Since he can't be killed by the World Nobles, who had ceaslessy desired his death, in the end, he managed to use his knowledge to blackmail them and gain their cooperation.

The heavenly demon soon laments about the power of Ope Ope no Mi that he should've had back then, and adds that if he owns it, he'll have the power to control the Mariejois National Treasure and take over the world. He further comments about the strength of the Ope Ope no Mi, which is able to transplant personality, and asking Law what its true power, claiming that it is capable to fulfill mankind's greatest dream, and thus making it called as the "Ultimate Devil Fruit". Law replies that he knows about it, but isn't interested about it, revealing its strongest power is to grant eternal life with the "Ageless Surgery", which upon used, will also kill the user of the Devil Fruit. Doflamingo soon shouts that he never ever wanted Law to actually have it and attacks him, reminding Law of many teachings he accepted in the past from Diamante, Lao G, and Gladius. Law soon claims that the reason he is there is because of Corazon, and that thanks to him, he'll be able to take on Doflamingo right now.

While they continue fighting, Law has a flashback to 16 years ago, at the Port Town Spider Miles, somewhere in North Blue. Younger Diamante and Trébol were talking to a child Trafalgar Law, who said that he is going to die in three years and two months, as said by his dead parents, and thus wants to kill and ruin everything as much as he can. Diamante replied that Law is a crazy kid and says that a lot of kids who came to them always runs away crying after two days, and revealing that Baby 5 and Buffalo, who's calling from outside the building they're in, saying that Corazon is back, are the only children left. Corazon enters the room and slips onto the ground by a prank put up by young Baby 5 and Buffalo, both who laughed at his clumsy fall. He gets upset and hits the two kids. However, later Baby 5 offered him some tea that is actually boiling hot which makes Corazon burst the tea out and tripped back again. As Baby 5 laughed at him, she seems to start cleaning the mess. Diamante then comments about Cora-san being stupid and has no concentration but claiming he has talent and lost his ability to speak due to an incident from long ago. He also says he hates children as Corazon grabs the young Law by his head and throws him out the window. Corazon lights a cigarette, setting his coat on fire in the process. Law barely survives the fall and looks up shocked at the burning Corazon, vowing to kill him.
