Sfx: *shi*
King: “Fufufu”
“Dagama did well…”
Sfx: *shi*
“All that remains is to let it fly!!!”
“You were the ones who protected me with that formation…!!”
“There’s nothing as dangerous as an unsheathed blade…!!! Am I wrong, brat?”
Guy: “Something’s worrying me…”
“This king of Prodense…”
“I heard once, in the news”
“That he annihilated an enemy fortress with a single punch!!...”
Other guy: “Don’t be stupid! He must have used a weapon or something, right!?”
“But, on the off-chance that it’s true…!!!”
Page 10:
“He could throw a punch powerful enough”
“to blow away even the section of the audience in front of him!!”
Other guy: “Eh!?”
“…There’s no way something like that could happen!!”
Gats: “There’s something unsettling in the air…!!”
“He’s kept quiet in the middle of that formation, but…”
“The King is about to make his move!!!”
King: “Kinnnnng!!!”
Audience: “Run away!!!”
Gats: “Was that incident from a while back really true!?”
Fighter: “Take down Elizabello!!”

Gats: “What… what terrifying power!!!”
“Nothing in the ring could have possibly survived that!!!”
“…!! Bellamy!!! Blue Gilly!!!”
Lady: “Bellamy-sama!!!”
“Every one of the top candidates to win it all has fallen!!!”
Luffy: “Cough, cough!!”
“What a punch…!!”
“Never seen anything like that…!!”
Gats: “…!! In the battle royale of B-block…”
“The winner, hailing from the Kingdom of Prodense, is…”
Guy: “Hey, look over there!!”
Gats: “Hmm??”
“There’s someone else!!”
Page 16:
Guy: “The reason that section of the audience wasn’t blown away…”
“Is that he was protecting them!!”
Barto: “Hehahahahaha…”
““Barrier”!!”
“If someone twists their fingers like this, they can make a barrier!!”
“Even snot-nosed kids know that!”
“TN: Barto’s taunt is based on a bit of traditional Japanese playground culture” (ßNOTE TO EDITOR- please include this in the margin<3)

Luffy: “…That weird guy won…!!”

One-leg: “Keep it down!!!”
Text: “Inside the Colosseum: Passages to Audience Seating”
Franky: “You’re also plotting to destroy the factory!?”
One-leg: “Indeed I am…!! My comrades and I have been moving along steadily with the preparations!!”
Franky: “Just tell me where it is!! I’ll bring it down it in an instant!!”
One-leg: “I can’t allow that!! There are some who work in the factory who we aim to rescue!!”
“But our plan is one that could lead to the collapse of this entire country!!”
“If you possess the gall and the fortitude to stand against Doflamingo…”
“I will tell you everything there is to know about this tragic country, “Dressrosa”!!!”
Blurb: “What the…?”
