Thirty minutes before Law's meeting with Doflamingo, Sanji was seen beaten and bloodied before Violet who was actually an assassin sent to interrogate him about Law's plan. Her Devil Fruit power allows her to look into Sanji's mind for the truth, only to recoil from seeing Sanji's perverted mind. Sanji, who was barely conscious, told her that he never doubted her tears, leaving her genuinely shocked. Before her subordinates could kill Sanji, she quickly defeated them and proceeded to warn Sanji of the grand deception Doflamingo and the World Government pulled. At the present time, on Green Bit, Nico Robin managed to find Law who told her that they need to get off the island immediately, though she could not directly help him so they decided to escape separately. At that moment, Doflamingo and Fujitora arrived and faced Law in a standoff. At the colosseum, the C block battle royale has started, and Luffy is excited to win this for the prize. Law confronted his former captain who fooled the whole world just to capture ten pirates, and said that it would take someone with the authority of the World Nobles to pull off something so ridiculous. Realizing what he said, Law remembered what Vergo had said about how his ignorance of Doflamingo's past would be their downfall and was about to ask further, but Doflamingo told him that it is much more deep-rooted than what he thinks.
