After eating the giant candy, Smiley transforms completely into its gas form, "dying" in the process and spreading quickly throughout the island. At the same time, a nearby apple takes on the appearance of a Devil Fruit. Caesar and the brokers watch as the raw poison gas envelops Caesar's men, encasing them in ash-like shells seemingly killing them all. Zoro, Sanji, Kin'emon, and Brook are seen running for their lives from the encroaching gas by the captured Straw Hats, Smoker and Law via a video feed in the lab. Caesar then taunts Luffy that his crew as well as everyone outside the safety of the lab will never survive the gas, and moves their cage outside. Chopper becomes worried for their safety, but receives a mysterious note telling him not to do anything yet. Law tells Luffy that despite Vergo's involvement they will continue with the original plan and prepare to fight back.
