As the four winners of the respective block battle royale and Diamante have entered the ring, a trio of gladiators from Block D rush to attack Rebecca not accepting that they lost the fight, but Diamante intervenes and easily knocks them away, revealing his devil fruit power to everyone. He also reveals a new obstacle, one of the new boss class fighting fish is guarding the prize and the goal is to steal it while everyone is at each other throats. With the sound of the gong, the battle for the Mera Mera no Mi begins. At the palace, the group cautiously sneaks inside to avoid sounding the alarm. Instead, Luffy stirs up a chaotic mess by attacking the gate and the guards head on causing the group to ditch their disguises and fight their way in. Doflamingo hears the news that Luffy is in the palace while watching "Lucy" fighting on screen. This angers him and he demands to know what is going on. As Luffy's group except Kin'emon ran towards the inner walls, they are caught by surprise when a large castle wall transforms into Pica. Inside the harbor lift, Lao G has stumbled upon Thunder Soldier's squad and proceeds to prevent them from reaching Doflamingo.
