Pleased to Make Your Acquaintance

Beneath the old royal plateau, a scrap yard and executive tower are visible near Kin'emon's side. In a dim cavern, Kin'emon bursts forward with tears, shouting "KIN'EMON! YOU CAME FOR ME!I" while Kanjuro cries out "KANJU-ROOO!!!" and "I'VE MISSED YOU, THAT I HAVE! THANK THE STARS YOU'RE SAFE!" with loud sobs. A crowd of armed samurai watches in the background. Kin'emon explains, "I GREW TIRED OF HIDING IN THE WALL AND WAS SLEEPING." Kanjuro replies, "SOME DUDE JUST CAME OUT OF THE WALL..." and "MY APOLOGIES. I PROBABLY MADE YOU SEARCH A FAIR BIT, DIDN'T II"

Kanjuro laughs "KAKKAKKAH! I KNEW YOU'D EVENTUALLY COME; WORRY NOT. ENOUGH WITH THESE FORMALITIES!" while Kin'emon apologizes for the wait. Kanjuro, identified as "SAMURAI OF THE WANO KINGDOM, EVENING RAIN KANJURO", holds up a drawing and declares, "I WANT NOT EVEN FOR FOOD! THAT IS NOT TO SAY I AM PARTICULARLY HUNGRY OR ANYTHING... AFTER ALL, WITH MY MAGIC..." Kin'emon responds, "HE IS! ALL THANKS TO YOUR EFFORTS." Kanjuro adds, "AS LONG AS MOMONOSUKE IS SAFE..." and offers, "HERE, HAVE SOME LETTUCE." Kin'emon refuses, "NO THANKS. YOURS ALWAYS MAKES MY STOMACH HURT."

Kanjuro tells the group, "THAT PUTTING IT ALL INTO WORDS IS TOO DIFFICULT AT THE MOMENT! WE MUST TALK AT LENGTH SOON! I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU..." and notes the commotion above. A samurai asks, "LEAVEI HOW THE HECK DO THEY EXPECT TO LEAVE HEREI" Kanjuro draws on the ground with his brush, creating a living bird that flaps its wings. The onlookers react in shock: "A DRAWINGI" "NO WAY! THE THING HE JUST DREW STARTED MOVING!" "IS HE A DEVIL FRUIT USER!I" Kanjuro commands, "COME FORTH!" as the bird takes flight.

A massive ink sparrow bursts from the page as the artist finishes his drawing. "WHOA! THE BIRD HE JUST DREW APPEARED FOR REAL!" someone yells while the bird flaps wildly. "CHIRP CHIRP" it cries as the artist mutters, "BUT HIS DRAWING SKILLS ARE PITIFUL!" The sparrow takes flight with "ESCAPE SPARROW!" written beside it. Below, the crowd reacts in shock: "HE DREW IT SO BADLY IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT'S GONNA FLY!" "YES!" "LET US GO!!" "EVEN THOUGH HIS ABILITY IS SO CRAZY!" In the lower panels, former citizens and soldiers of King Riku, once forced to work as toys, beg desperately: "WE HAVE FAMILY REMAINING IN THE CITY; PLEASE, HELP US ESCAPE! SOMEHOW!" "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE MOMENT BUT IS THE KING SAFE!I" "WE ARE FORMER CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS OF KING RIKU AND WERE UNTIL RECENTLY FORCED TO WORK AS TOYS!!" "PLEASE, WAIT!!"

A diagram labels the New Royal Plateau levels, the Colosseum Army, and key fighters including Zoro, Pica, Luffy, Law, Cabbage, and Kyros. On the battlefield below, soldiers fire rifles at a massive galloping creature: "SHOOT HIM WHERE HE STANDS!" "BANG BANG" echoes as the beast charges through smoke and debris. "DO NOT LET STRAW HAT MAKE IT TO THE THIRD LEVEL!" A rider on the creature yells "GALLOP GALLOP" while the group presses forward. In the next panel the rider shouts "Y'ALL BETTER START AIMING THIS WAY! HIYAH!" as Luffy, wide-eyed, reacts to the incoming assault amid crashing impacts and "WAAAHH!" cries.

A woman in a revealing outfit delivers a devastating kick labeled "DECAPITATION HIGH HEEL!" with "CRACK" and massive impact effects "ギュイ!!!" as her target reels. Nearby, a long-haired man watches with a grim expression. Below, chaos erupts on the battlefield: soldiers fire wildly, a rider is struck, and Luffy stares in shock. "OI, NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR SIGHTSEEING, STRAW HAT," someone warns. "LONGLEG JUST GOT TAKEN OUT!" The massive creature continues its rampage as gunfire and screams fill the air.

Luffy and Law clash with a large opponent amid flying debris. "ONCE NEWS OF HIS SECRET ARMS TRADING AND THE WHOLE TOY BUSINESS GET OUT, WE'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH DONE FOR!" a voice exclaims. Another declares, "THIS WHOLE BIRD CAGE GAME IS A FARCE!" and "EVEN IF WE TAKE DOWN ALL YOU 'CONVICTS,' NONE OF US ARE SAFE!" A woman in a wide hat shouts, "SITTING AROUND WAITING FOR A MIRACLE IS SIMPLY GOING TO GET EVERYONE KILLED!" Narration notes that Dressrosa is now isolated and Doflamingo will stop at nothing to prevent leaks. Luffy, gripping his opponent, declares, "WE WILL GET OFF THIS ISLAND ALIVE!" while another figure adds, "PRESSING FORWARD AND TAKING DOFLAMINGO'S HEAD IS THE ONLY WAY."

In the heat of battle, a scarred fighter with a 13 on his back declares, "HE'S BROUGHT TOGETHER, IN HIS COLOSSEUM," while another voice continues, "BUT HE'S MADE A CRITICAL ERROR IN JUDGMENT." A third adds, "DOFLAMINGO IS ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF EVERYONE ELSE..." Explosions and debris fill the air as the fighters clash. A massive warrior with a spiked club roars, "WE SHALL NOT LOSE!" while another bellows, "EVERY SINGLE SUPER-HUMAN WEIRDO ON THESE SEVEN SEAS!" Cavendish, bloodied and determined, shouts, "I WILL BE THE ONE TO TAKE DOFLAMINGO'S HEAD!" A hulking figure finishes, "BECAUSE, ABOVE ALL ELSE,"

Tensions flare as the group argues over who will defeat Doflamingo. A voice yells, "YOU WANTED US TO SAVE YOU ONE OF HIS EXECUTIVES!I" Another retorts, "OI, SOLDIER GUY! DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT I MUST BE THE ONE TO RETURN HIS MAJESTY'S KINGDOM TO HIM!" Bartolomeo snaps, "THAT'S A PERSONAL MATTER!" while Cavendish insists, "I APPRECIATE YOUR OFFERS, BUT I WILL BE THE ONE TO TAKE HIM DOWN!" Luffy shouts, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BABBLING ON ABOUT!I I'M GONNA BE THE ONE TO BEAT MINGO TO A PULP!" The argument escalates with claims of debts and ages: "I HAVE A 10-YEAR-OLD DEBT TO REPAY!" and "IF WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT TIME, THEN LEMME TELL YA, MINE IS 13 YEARS OLD!" They reach the third level as someone yells, "WE'VE MADE IT! THIS IS THE THIRD LEVEL!" and "STRAW HAAAAA... YOU GET OFF! LET'S JUST PUT THIS ASIDE FOR THE TIME BEING..."

Luffy reacts with "HMI" and a snort as the horse carries them forward. He yells, "AWE~SOME! NOW LET'S JUST HAUL ASS STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE 4TH LEVEL! GO HORSEY!" The group encounters two giant puppet-like figures that clatter and rustle menacingly. Luffy stares in shock, exclaiming, "WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE GIANT PUPPETSI!" The massive mechanical beings loom over the riders on the rocky terrain.

Zoro clashes violently with Pica's massive stone statue form atop the ruins, sending debris flying as the title box reads "ON TOP OF PICA'S STONE STATUE ZORO VS. PICA". Pica taunts, "I'M IMPRESSED. YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOU'D BE ABLE TO TAKE STRAW HAT'S HEADI" Zoro grits his teeth, muttering "SHIT, HE RAN..." while dodging and striking with rapid movements marked by "DASH" and impact sounds. A close-up shows Zoro's intense expression amid the chaos of crumbling stone and flying rubble.

A massive stone octopus-like form labeled "PULPO STONE*!" towers over the battlefield as Pica's colossal limbs crash through the air. Zoro stands ready with swords drawn on a rocky outcrop while smaller figures tumble through the sky. "BLORB" and "RUMBLE" echo as debris flies. A sweat-dropped observer mutters "EHI" in shock. In the chaos below, a long-nosed figure shouts "ZO-ZORO-SENPAI!" while another yells "YOU GUYS! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FLYING!I" A third voice nervously asks "ER...UH...IF YOU'RE NOT TOO BUSY DO YOU STILL THINK YOU COULD SIGN SOMETHING...I" as the giant stone limbs smash everything in their path.

Rebecca cries out "WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT STATUE!" while pointing desperately. "ZORO! HOLD HIM BACK!" she shouts next. Close-ups reveal her alarmed face and Pica's glaring eye as someone yells "PICA!" and "REBECCA!" A voice identifies him: "IT'S DOFLAMINGO'S TOP EXECUTIVE!" The statue begins to move with a "RUMBLE..." and "KYAH-" impact. Zoro narrows his eyes, noting "HE WENT BACK INSIDE IT, EH..." and "THE STATUE MOVED!" as Pica's enormous fist smashes forward with "ギゴッ..." A panicked voice screams "SHIT! I CAN'T MAKE A BARRIER THAT BIG! WE'RE GONNA GET FLATTENED!!" while bystanders yell "WAA AHH HH!"

Rebecca and another girl react with shock as someone mentions "STRAW HAT LUFFY... AND GOD USOPP." Zoro declares "I'M THE MAN THAT WILL ONE DAY BE THIS WORLD'S BEST SWORDSMAN!" and taunts "GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL! YOU WERE NEVER IN MY LEAGUE TO BEGIN WITH!" with a fierce grin. Pica's massive stone fist launches a devastating "1080 POUND CANNON!" that smashes through buildings. Zoro flexes and roars "JORO-ZENBAI IIIII!!!" as the colossal punch craters the cityscape. Onlookers react with "I FORGOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. THE STRAW HAT PIRATES AREN'T ALL JUST..." and "I THINK I GOT THE HANG OF IT NOW..." while victims cry "GAAA AAAA AH!!" and "AGH!"
