Zoro is locked in a duel with Pica allowing Luffy and Viola to escape the colossus and reach the higher floor where Luffy manages to save Thunder Soldier from Gladius who caught the toy and nearly blew his head off. Gladius's response was to unleash a hail of shrapnel made from the helmet he wore at the intruders, but they manage to escape and reach the floor where Doflamingo is seen interrogating Trafalgar Law. Kin'emon returns and disguises himself as Doflamingo, fooling Gladius and finding information on the location of Kanjuro who somehow escaped imprisonment. At the base of the plateau, Franky singlehandedly fights off the marines in order to buy Usopp some time in defeating Sugar. However, Robin's surprise attack failed as she was turned into a toy and the spice ball in the clutches of Sugar, leaving Usopp the only one left in the team capable of fighting Sugar, but he is seen running away, too afraid to fight by himself.
