With three minutes left, the gladiators renew their assault against Doflamingo but are again outclassed by the Shichibukai. Gatz, worried that Luffy won't recover in time, encounters Law who says he will protect Luffy now. Elsewhere in Dressrosa, the gladiators who helped Luffy before are pushing against the Birdcage with the help of Bartolomeo's barrier. Leo explains that Mansherry used her healing powers to quickly heal the gladiators, but it would only be temporary. Usopp lends his aid by inspiring the citizens to help his friends. Rebecca secretly makes her way towards Doflamingo to fight him, only to see Viola facing him instead. Zoro and the samurai get a surprise as Issho and the Marines help push the Birdcage on their side while Bartolomeo and Franky are receiving more manpower from the citizens on their side as well. Their combined effort managed to briefly stop the Birdcage completely, as Luffy now only needs one more minute to recharge his Haki.
