The Straw Hat Pirates, along with their allies and prisoner are heading out to Dressrosa on the Thousand Sunny when they are informed of Luffy's goal to defeat all of the Four Emperors and the plan by Trafalgar Law to reduce Kaidou's power in the New World by destroying Doflamingo's SMILE factory. Regardless of the dangers involving an army of SMILE users and a potential encounter with Kaidou himself, Kin'emon along with his son Momonosuke are coming along with the Straw Hats as one of Kin'emon's comrades is being held prisoner in Dressrosa. Back on Punk Hazard, Smoker allows the G-5 Marines and Brownbeard to retrieve their comrades from their petrified states. One of Smoker's men questions if they should arrest the headless bodies of Doflamingo's subordinates. However, the heads suddenly come flying back to their bodies and the men are viciously attacked by Doflamingo himself. Doflamingo stands in front of Smoker and demands the location of the Straw Hats, but Smoker tells him he has no idea where they are going and call him by his alias "Joker". Seeing that his alias is exposed, Doflamingo struck a deadly blow to Smoker's face severely injuring him. He then attempts to deliver the killing blow but is interrupted by the arrival of Kuzan, the former Admiral.
