Sabo, Koala, and Hack reunite with Robin as she introduces Usopp to them. Kinemon master of Cosplay attempts to escape the palace and Zoro got himself lost... AGAIN!
Birdcage is a LOT bigger in range (covering the island as opposed to a small town), though both will carve up anyone who tries to get through, preventing people from escaping or coming to help. Here’s another important thing that the cage does though.
Birdcage also prevents Den den mushis from contacting anyone outside of the island. That means that Doflamingo could kill every single person on the island, Marines included, and no would else would know about it. Sure, they’d wonder what happened, but chances are if Doflamingo were successful he’d be able to cover it up, possibly with the help of CP0 (who, as we’ve seen, are willing to trick even the top brass of the Marines).
I guess calling it a “game” is mostly a matter of word choice on Doflamingo’s part. Just like Enel, psychopaths apparently don’t look at mass murder quite as seriously as the rest of us do.
I’m not sure if Doflamingo plans to kill everyone on the island (sans his own crew, obviously—and the people he needs to keep growing the Smile fruits for him), or just the people who are immediate threats to him (Law and the Straw Hats, Sabo and the other Revolutionaries, and anyone else in open rebellion). But really, I think the first one is a bit more likely. Dofla’s gotten in over his head with all the people he’s turned into toys and all that, so wiping the slate clean might be the best move for him. And by telling people that they can either come after his own head or the heads of the people he wants them too for a reward, that’s actually a pretty smart way to weed out the people who want revenge on him at any cost—people he couldn’t force to obey him again in the future.
I’ve said before that Birdcage is an act of despiration on Doflamingo’s part—and it is, but it’s one that really could potentially solve all of Doflamingo’s problems right now. Kill everyone who will oppose you in the future, all the Marines, and all the Straw Hats, cover it up, and he’d be left with a terrified island of citizens to obey him out of fear instead of love. Not ideal by any means, but it would certainly be one bloody but effective solution.
