Arc-by-arc updates

Dressrosa — open defection (Ch. 777)

• Stands against the Donquixote Family, shielding allies on the plateau; accused outright: “You have betrayed us, Baby 5” (p. 12). See Baby 5’s Need-To-Be-Needed Sparks A Defection To Sai.

Dressrosa — present, with Sai (Ch. 772)

Dressrosa — “just being me”; Baby 5 in love (Ch. 771)

• Helps the alliance against the officers — confronts Nico Robin (“off of me, Don Quixote family!”) then offers to become a weapon for her (“as long as it will help” → “Okay! I’ll gladly die for you!”), her compulsion to be needed at full pitch (pp. 9–10).
• Backstory revealed: born unwanted and abandoned in the mountains by her own family (“you’re unwanted, unneeded… too many mouths to feed”) — the root of her need to be needed (p. 11).
• Sai repeatedly stops her from sacrificing herself; his needing her makes her fall in love — closing narration: “Baby 5 in love” (p. 19). See Baby 5’s Need-To-Be-Needed Sparks A Defection To Sai.

Dressrosa — the spark with Sai (Ch. 770)

• Fights Sai on the plateau (“Eyes over here, shrimp!!”, p. 10) but her can’t-refuse-being-needed compulsion makes her reinterpret his combat taunts as a confession of need: she blushes “You need me, don’t you?! ♡ Just say it!!” and declares “…then… I don’t care who I work for!!” (pp. 10–11) — the on-page seed of her defection from the Donquixote Family. See Baby 5’s Need-To-Be-Needed Sparks A Defection To Sai.

After the mech falls, Buffalo flies off the island with the unconscious Caesar.
