One Piece Premier Show 2021[]
After Doflamingo's defeat, Kardia formed the New Donquixote Family, intent on using his crew to get revenge on Luffy and to break Doflamingo out from Impel Down.
In Wano Country, Kardia was informed by Sarutobi that Tama had an umbrella made by Portgas D. Ace, which Kardia decided he would use to replicate Ace's appearance when he fought Luffy. Once they were ready, the New Donquixote Family attacked the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates at a restaurant, causing Trafalgar Law to separate them. Kardia fought against Law, using his abilities to transform into Donquixote Rosinante and surprise Law, seemingly throwing him into the sea.
With Law defeated, Kardia was attacked by Luffy and Nami, who were quickly joined by Sanji, Brook, and Robin. Bepo and Tama tried to run away from the fight, but Kardia chased after them and kidnapped them, sending them back to Cuore.
With Tama's umbrella, Kardia was able to transform into Ace, shocking Luffy. Under the guide of protecting Luffy, he managed to knock Luffy to the ground, but was unable to fool Zoro, who attacked him and forced him to cancel the transformation. As Tama arrived and informed Luffy that Kardia had taken the umbrella made by Ace, Luffy entered Gear 2, punching Kardia and allowing Law to take the umbrella back. Kardia was knocked unconscious by Luffy's attack.
Some time later, Kardia woke up again, and attacked the two pirates once again. As he attacked, he insulted Ace and Rosinante, stating they died because they were weak. This angered Luffy and Law,[4] who attacked him at once, causing Kardia to be engulfed in flames and be thrown into the ocean.[5]
