-"vice captain" is completely unambiguous. It's Oda's way of lampshading real life fans who like to see Zoro that way, no doubt. Barto is the embodiment of those fans.
-Mechanical man should be Gladius, not Gradius (not based on phonetics, which are the same, but based on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladius)

Sanji: “I’ve got way more business worrying about Nami-san than you do!!”
“And you know that she’d much prefer that I save her!!!”
“That’s why I’m going!!”
Zoro: “Fine, just go then!!”
Sanji: “Kinemon, this is a map to the Toy House where your friend is being held”
Kin: “Ohhh many thanks!!”
Sanji: “If you’re able to meet up with Luffy, this will connect you to the Sunny-Go!!”
“Let’s try to confirm everyone’s whereabouts and safety”
“I’m returning to the Sunny-Go”
Page 3:
Zoro: “So, how do we see Luffy?”
Kin: “I know not, which is why I’ve been standing here, that it is!!”
“Every entrance is firmly shut…”
“And it was my acting strangely earlier that led to my capture”
Zoro: “Alright, should we cut down this wall!?”
Kin: “That counts as acting strangely, that it does!!”
Zoro: “Okay, we’ll cut it gently”
Kin: “It’s not a matter of your enthusiasm”
Barto (left side non bubble text): “Uwahhh!!!”
“That’s the pirate hunter Zoro-senpai!!! From the felling of 100 foes at Whiskey Peak to the time when he hacked all of Enies Lobby to pieces…”
“He’s the great santoryuu-using swordsman!!!”
“The pirate who always supports the crew and serves as Luffy-senpai’s right hand, seen by many as vice captain (well, by me anyway)!!! He’s soooo cool!!! Huh? I can’t stop crying…”

Text: “Dressrosa: Royal Palace”
B5: “Gladius…”
“Could you calm down a little?”
Gladius: “Baby-5…”
“The betrayal of that woman…”
“Do you have any idea how much she’s screwed up our plans!?”
“Violet captured “Black Leg Sanji”…”
“And extracted from his mind all of the enemies’ strategies…”
“We could’ve stopped them at every turn”
“And killed every one of them…!!”
“But then what the hell did she go and do? Brought down her own men and ran away!?”
B5: “Kyahhh calm down!! Are you gonna explode here and now!!?”
Page 5:
Gladius: “Now I’ve lost control of the plans and the time!!”
“I hate it enough to die!!!”
Bottom Right Text: “Donquixote Family (Pica Squad ♤): Gladius”
Glad (Middle bubble): “Not to mention that we… well”
“Anyone who betrays young master… we can’t let them live”
“Violet’s been acting strangely since last night…”
“Just think about it… with her clairvoyance, she should have been able to find the Strawhats' ship sometime yesterday”
Page 6:
Text: “Northeast Dressrosa, heading towards Green Bit”
Sanji: “Nooooo this just won’t do, Violet-channnnn <3”
“You have to keep your promise and wait for me at the harbor”
“Eh he he he”
Violet: “The harbor is already crawling with Marines”
“It’d be best if we decided on a different location for me to meet up with you”
Sanji: “Really, the Marines…”
Violet: “There were four battleships in all…”
“Even low estimates would place at least 3,000 Marines in this country, now…”
Sanji: “You gathered that info all by yourself in such a short time?”
Page 7:
Violet: “Through my “clairvoyance,” I can send out my "sight" as if it were a bird in a 4000 kilometer radius”
“As long as I’m here, I can see everything that’s going on in this country”
“So you shouldn’t worry about me”
“There’s no way I’ll be caught by my pursuers”
Sanji: “…So you’re going to keep to the land!?”
Violet: “No, don’t worry…”
“At this point, I’ll…!!”
“Ahh”
Sanji: “What is it!!?”
Violet: “This is terrible!! Your ship was just struck by lightning!!”
Sanji: “Lightning!!?”
“Hmm? If it’s lightning…”

Nami: “So. What do we do with this?”
Momo: “Bone-kichi!! I also gave her a blow, that I did!!”
Brook: “Ehhh! You’ve got quite an arm”
Nami: “We can’t just throw her overboard”
Chopper: “She’s an ability user, yeah…”
Brook: “And I have no desire to see her panties!!”
Momo: “Is… is that so. I do have quite an arm…”
Jora: “…wh!! …who… are you calling Miss Universe!!!”
Page 9:
Nami: “Anyway, right now we need to hurry over to Tora-man”
Chopper: “But how did Caesar’s exchange turn out?”
Brook: “That’s right. Because Doflamingo quit the Shichibukai…”
“We should return Caesar as promised…”
Jora: “Y…you people… you don’t know anything do you…”
“How auspicious… ohbobobo…”
“Young master… he never took any of the negotiations with you brats seriously…!!!”
“And young master surely never quit the Shichibukai…!!!”
Brook: “What on earth do you mean!!!”
Momo: “Ehh!! I don’t understand, that I don’t!!”
Sfx bubble: “Bam!!”
Jora: “That hurts you brat!!!”
Chopper: “Wahh!!”
Jora: “You’ve all fallen right into the trap!!”
“By now, Violet will have revealed everything, and all your friends…”
“Will have been captured!!”
All: “Ehhh!!?”

“There are few who’ve carved as checkered and hapless a life as myself… fuffuffu”
DD: “I would have loved to tell you the story of my life up until I met you, perhaps over some drinks…”
“But there’s no time for anything like that right now”
“I have to do something about the Strawhat crew members on Dressrosa”
“There are far too many out there who, in the past, underestimated this crew and were burned for it”

“I should be able to sense at least the movement of clouds”
“…Heh heh I suppose I’m getting old…”
Law: “…!! Weather control’s gotta be Nami-ya…”

Chopper: “The fog’s making it tough, but I can see a strange forest”
Page 15:
Nami: “So… what do we do after getting Caesar?”
Brook: “Then Doflamingo will come after us, right?”
“Eh!? That’s scary!!!”
Someone: “Uwahhh!!!”
“Ehh!? What!? What!? What was that!!?”
Chopper: “There’s something in the water!!!”
Jora: “It’s a school of f…f…fighting fish!!!”
“You went and got too close to the island!!!”
Nami: “What the hell are those!!?”
Jora: “They’re the murderous fish that can even sink battleships!!!”
All: “Ehhh!!!?”

Law: “Haa… haa…”
“That’s right, follow me, Doflamingo!!!”
“If he goes for the ship now, we’re done for!! I’ll lead him as far as the bridge and then send Caesar over…”
