As Dressrosa is taken over by Doflamingo, Aiko Kobayashi, a former soldier of King Riku Dold III's Army is captured by Doflamingo. Rather than killing Aiko like the rest of the soldiers in King Dold III's Army, Doflamingo makes Aiko his slave. When it seems all hope is lost for Aiko, she meets the man who could potentially save her from Doflamingo. This man was none other than Shichibukai Sir Crocodile.
