Cavendish shows up just in time to stop Doflamingo's attack from hitting Robin, allowing Luffy to focus on fighting Doflamingo. Luffy tells Cavendish to flee the plateau with everybody, which he obliges. As Bartolemeo makes a barrier staircase for everyone to descend on, Law wakes up and begs to stay and watch the fight between Luffy and Doflamingo. Cavendish and the dwarves decide to stay with Law. Meanwhile, the bird cage is closing in, and Luffy notices this during the fight. Many attacks are exchanged, but Doflamingo gains the upper hand. Angry at what Doflamingo's plan is for the country, Luffy raises his arm, and prepares to activate Gear Fourth.
