Brownbeard arrives in front of Caesar Clown and demands that he tell him what happened to his men outside on the island before Shinokuni was released. Caesar merely shrugs and says that he did not receive their distress call, when in truth he did receive it but left them to die outside. Angered by the callous disregard of the lives of his men, Brownbeard tries to reveal Caesar's true nature to the rest of the men protecting their "generous" master, but Caesar secretly injects a muscle relaxant into Brownbeard, making him spurt gibberish and be unable to stand. Now in control of the situation, Caesar whispers to Brownbeard that the poison gas incident was his doing. Brownbeard then furiously tries to attack Caesar, only to be shot down by the subordinates he swore to save. Feeling victorious, Caesar prepares to finish off Brownbeard, but a giant Haki-infused fist stops him. Luffy has arrived to finish the fight with Caesar. Caesar tells all his subordinates to head back up stairs and start the preparations. Once all the subordinates are gone, Caesar warns Luffy that if he fights him, one of the Four Emperors, as well as Doflamingo, will hunt Luffy down because the SAD that Caesar produces is used to turn his client's subordinates into Zoan users and taunts Luffy that he will never defeat all of them. Luffy remembers all the horrible things that he has heard that Caesar Clown has done and channels all his anger into a vicious punch on the mad scientist's face, shouting that he has been fighting people like them since entering the Grand Line.
