Elsewhere, Law sits inside a treasure chest, remembering how Corazon told him to stay there. Pica goes to Doflamingo to report that they found Corazon. He then sneaks up behind Gladius to get his attention, and Gladius shoots at Corazon. Meanwhile, Corazon hides behind a tree as the Donquixote Pirates search for him. Homing simply apologized to his sons for having to have a father like him, and Doflamingo struggles for a brief moment before finally pulling the trigger. Doflamingo told Homing that he would regain his World Noble status by taking Homing's head to Mary Geoise. Doflamingo remembered how Trebol gave him the strength to take revenge as he held the pistol at his father's head. Later, Doflamingo stood behind his father Homing while carrying a pistol, as Homing restrained a crying Rosinante while Doflamingo asked him why he took their power away. Thirty-one years ago, Doflamingo was approached by Trebol and Vergo after he used Haoshoku Haki on some citizens. As Doflamingo sits on Barrels' body, he holds his pistol in his hand and recalls when he first received it. Diamante approaches Doflamingo, wondering if Corazon is already dead. Lao G shouts at them to start working to find Corazon. Suddenly, Baby 5 intercepts a Marine transmission revealing that the Marines have taken a boy into custody. Lao G asks him how his search is going, and Buffalo reports that there are no survivors in sight. Meanwhile, Buffalo flies over the cage with Baby 5 on his back. Lao G comes and tells them to stop fooling around and look for Corazon. Outside, Diamante, Machvise, and Trebol pile up all the treasure they found and admire it. Doflamingo denounces Barrels for letting the Ope Ope no Mi get stolen as he pulls out his gun and shoots Barrels twice. An angry Barrels asks Doflamingo if his crew stole the Ope Ope no Mi, but Doflamingo replies that if they did he would not have to go to this trouble.

Suddenly, Doflamingo cuts apart the door and proceeds to slash Barrels, causing him to collapse. He curses Dory for abandoning them as he prepares for battle at the entrance. Meanwhile, two pirates are shot dead by the Donquixote Pirates, and Barrels hears it from inside his headquarters. Meanwhile, a boy named Dory has ended up outside the Birdcage, and three of his trapped crewmates beg him to help them. A shocked platoon of Marines stand outside and report what is going on while trying to break through the Birdcage, to no avail.

Inside the Birdcage surrounding the ghost town on Minion Island, the Barrels Pirates are running while being attacked by crewmates controlled by Doflamingo's strings. Water Law has eaten the Ope Ope no Mi and being tricked into believing that he has already left the island, Doflamingo kills his brother and unknowingly has his crew transport a grieving Law to safety. After recalling how he killed his father and met his executives as a child, Donquixote Doflamingo confronts his brother, Rosinante, over the latter's betrayal of his crew.
