[Box: This morning in Dresrosa]
Flashback!People: Doflamingo’s left the Shichibukai!!! // He won’t be the King of Dresrosa any more, either!!!
Flashback!Gladiators: Now he’s nothing more than a dirty pirate!!! // We’re finally gonna be set free!!!
Flashback!Dwarfs: Captain!! Did you see the newspaper?! // This means our comrades will return, doesn’t it?!! // We won’t have to fight after all!! Thank goodnes…
Flashback!OneLeg: No. // Apparently that report was a “mistake”…
Flashback!Dwarfs: ?!!
Flashback!OneLeg: Rebecca!! You must remain calm…!! // I understand your anger...!! I feel the same way!! But you must not do anything rash!!! // It is we who will make a stand!! Our preparations are complete!!!
10
Flashback!Rebecca: Forget it!! I’m not waiting!! / After being kicked down from heaven into hell like that…...!! / Everyone’s at their limit!! Their spirits are almost completely broken!!!
DoubleFlashback!Gladiators: There’s nothing left for us but to wait for our executions…
Flashback!Rebecca: The promise of freedom if we win a thousand matches… // That’s nothing to hope for...!! That’s just a wall of despair!!! // That so-called “Legendary Warrior Kyros” said to have fought and won three thousand matches?! / Everyone knows that statue is just a lie!!! // Kyros is a dream, an ideal invented by all the prisoners who have gone to their deaths! / He’s just a symbol of their longing to escape from this place!! // I’m done with chasing after impossible dreams. I’d rather place my hopes on today’s tournament! // It’s our one big chance!!! That’s why...
Flashback!OneLeg: This is no chance!! This is not a tournament you can hope to win!!! / You will only lose your life!! I won’t allow you to enter!!! This is just foolish desperation!! // Do you think yourself an adult with your scant 16 years, Rebecca?!! / You are still only a child!! And you will do as I say!!!
11
Flashback!Rebecca: Who do you think you are?!!! You’re not my father, you know!!!
Flashback!OneLeg: ?!!
Flashback!Rebecca: You’re the one who’s being desperate and foolish!! You and your “operation”!! // How do you expect to defeat Doflamingo?!! You’re just…just... // ...Just a one-legged toy!!!! // Ahh...
Flashback!OneLeg: Very true… Very true indeed...
Flashback!Rebecca: Ahh….........!! ......!! / No, I......!!
Flashback!OneLeg: Perhaps I have overstepped my place. / Still, I pray you will not enter this tournament.
Flashback!Rebecca: …...!! / No...That’s not it at all.........!!! // I...!! I’m just scared!! I have this horrible feeling that you’re just going... / ...to get yourself killed...!!!
12
Flashback!Rebecca: I’m sorry!! Wait, please!! / Mr Soldier!!! // Mr Soldier~~~!!!
OneLeg: pant… // pant... // pant
Flashback!Rebecca: Mr Soldie~~~r!!!
Rebecca: Haaaaahhhhh!!!

Announcer: What’s this?!! It looks like Rebecca, who has never played anything but a defensive game… // ...has gone on the offensive~~~~!!
Diamante: ?! // …...What the hell is that sword......? // It’s got no blade... // This ring is a place for killing!!
14
Diamante: If you can’t slice a man down… // ...then shed your own blood!!
Rebecca: Eh - ?! // ?!
Diamante: That’s what’ll get the crowd excited!!!
Rebecca: !!!
Announcer: …...!! A direct hit~~~~!!! // The “Undefeated Woman” stands powerless before this foe~~!!!
15

[Box: Royal Palace 1F, outside the lift / Toy Soldier VS Lao G]
People: !!
OneLeg: …............!!
LaoG: Hmm?! This shaking…!! // This must be Pica’s doing. // Why is he causing such a ruckus...? // !!
Dwarfs: We won’t let you go!!! // Kabu-san!!
Kabu: Right!! // Can you stand, Captain?!!
OneLeg: Y…You have my thanks...
LaoG: Ughhh!! // Unhand me, filthy dwarfs!!
Kabu: Hurry!
OneLeg: ! // Wait!! If we leave now, our comrades will fall!!
17
Kabu: You must look forward, Captain!!!
OneLeg: ?!
Kabu: We have always been ready to sacrifice ourselves!!!
OneLeg: Ridiculous!!
Kabu: If you do not move onward, what will this all have been for?!!! // Even assuming Leo and his team succeed in the SOP Operation… / If you do not eliminate Doflamingo, he will restore everything to the way it was!!!
OneLeg: …............!!
Rampo: You are the only one among us… / ...who can eliminate Doflamingo, Captain!!!
[Box: Underground Trading Port - The Officers’ Tower]
Usopp: What is that “Captain” to you, Leo?! // Why do you place so much faith in him?!!
Leo: …...............
18
Usopp: He’s just a one-legged toy, for crying out loud!!!
Leo: Normally…when people are turned into toys, they are given a contract... // Forced to become obedient workers who cannot disobey their orders... / But in the case of our Captain, the first toy who was ever created in this country... // Sugar made a mistake... She forgot to impose a contract on him!! / That single mistake, ten long years ago, created the Captain you see today! // He is the only toy who is able to rebel against the Donquixote Family! / That is why he has fought against them on his own for ten whole years!!
Usopp: …............!!
Leo: If it weren’t for him, all of the other toys… / ...would have had no choice but to succumb to their cruel fate!! // And we of the Tontatta, too... / ...would all have been turned into slaves without ever realising what was really happening!!
19
Leo: If we do not respond to his cries… // ...this country will truly be beyond saving!!! // That man is worth placing all our hopes in!! // Though nobody remembers him now, there was a time when everyone knew his name!! // When he was a Big Human, the name of that man was... / “Kyros”!!!
Usopp: !!
Leo: The greatest gladiator who ever fought in the Colosseum!!! // That is the Captain we follow!!!
Usopp: ?!!
