first thing I want to say is I'm quite disappointed at mangapanda's translation, it's not only a bit wrong but leaving stuff out, which wasn't untranslated, instead they just removed it from original text.
a little information as someone mentioned already, because this week is combined issue, and next week is May Day, an official holiday, all Shonen Jump mangas will go on break.
this time is a general review over the past chapters, specifically regarding DD's strategy handling the situation.

reading book, listening to music, with a gloomy look. this was exactly what should happen after DD's renouncement. DD himself should expect chaos like that.

people around the world trying to call Donquixote family asking for solution. but DD didnt give a damn, seemingly calm, still on the track of his way.

DD's psychological changes must like roller coaster with huge ups and downs. he really cares about Caesar's safety which directly impacts on his business. what confuses me the most is why Kaido didnt call DD. or DD might have contacted Kaido already. such plot like this shouldnt be hidden, so i still think the two of them havent talked to each other. the only reason i can think of that DD is doing so is because he has resolvedness.
six den den mushi on that table, Vergo, Monet, Caesar, Baby-5 and Buffalo, is five, there's one left, connecting to whom?

at this point, the chaos is there as before, but DD just started his strategy opening the tournament, which means his strategy is to split SH and crush one by one. that being said anything happened to each SH crew isnt by chance, it's a big trap.

yet, a few hrs later, it begun, in order to make sure, especially Luffy wouldnt win the tournament that easily or even lose it, DD let his family members into this tournament, which isnt usually the case in the colosseum. during that time, DD must have done something to convince or brain-wash his populace that everything's fine.

the dexter is a joke. =_=
As I have been noticing all the time, all the reactions from the citizens reflect on DD himself and Dressrosa this country, there’s certainly a big problem within it.

people's memory is coming back bit by bit if Ricky continues to fight, like the
old man
, and only the elderly have the opportunity and
past
seeing someone like him.
DD became the king and did something evil to everyone in Dressrosa.
So the entire country is fake, the people’s minds are cleaned, culture or story is made up
.

though not identical, fairly alike. corrida, fighting fish, helmet with that ox horn. those are symbols of colosseum and part of the history of Dressrosa.

there's a saying 'people are familiar with what in their own walk of life.'
in that kind of job as gladiator, if no one knows someone, then he's either new or has
disappeared for a long time.

if Kyros has been forgotten, why is his statue still there, although in a dirty corner without anyone paying attention.
if no one in Dressrosa remembers Kyros, then who is Rebecca?
Assume Kyros is truly unknown, then two words come out. Cross-dressing, and renaming. So meaning Kyros himself was pretending someone else to hide his identity. But an anonymity did not need to do that, So Kyros was famous, at least in Dressrosa. E.g. DD’s dad, or brother or uncle or whatever relative. In history, Cyrus the Great conquered his grandpa’s kingdom and his grandpa was afraid of his taking over, resulting in dispatching his granddaughter away to get married in another small country and even ordered to kill Cyrus who was just born. If he’s DD’s dad: young lord should logically have an old lord, who could be the former king. That sole hit in his 3000 matches could be the reason why he quited. But where is he now? DD already got the throne, if really so, then Rebecca probably is not Rebecca anymore. She wore a helmet since she appeared at the first time, which let her face cannot be seen and the rule allows fake names cuz no one cares to check. Besides, given Rebecca’s resentment to DD and her admiration to Kyros. To conclude, DD’s elder generation is Kyros, DD came back to be the king from his dad’s hand violently, Rebecca is Kyros’s daughter and DD’s sister. XDDD
just a wild guess i made weeks ago, but i do believe if Rebecca is a local citizen, she restored her memory; if she isnt, she came bakc to Dressrosa to slay DD.
the problem here is if she was born in Dressrosa, according to all the other citizens and spectators in colosseum, no one would say something disrespectful to DD, or if she want, why would she know (or remember)a person whom no people in Dressrosa have heard of.
additionally, she's called 'undeated woman', Kyros remained undefeated for 3000 battles, what a resemblance.
lastly,sole clue to what DD did to his people.

oh, this only specified in the spoiler, i think you'd like to know.
Cavendish says Barto is another one of those annoying rookies.
He's called the Cannibal because he acts like a douche. (mocking people in Japanese is expressed as "eating people")
