The Trigger That Day

No description for this page.

The chapter returns from Law's memory. Law screams, "He's free! Just leave him be already!!" and thinks of Cora-san, the day he will be free, and the day he stops Doflamingo. In the present fight, Doflamingo stands inside Law's "Room" as the side note announces, "Arch-nemeses clash!" Law tells himself that this is the day he achieves Cora-san's goal. The page links Corazon's dying wish directly to Law's present attack on Doflamingo.

Law attacks with "Shambles," switching positions and striking at Doflamingo, while Doflamingo asks, "What do you make of Monkey D. Luffy!?" He says, "I learned today for the first time... that you are a Tenryuubito." Law presses his attack, marked by "POOF" and "FWOO" movement effects, but Doflamingo blocks and asks, "What do you make of 'D'!?" The page turns the fight into a question about Luffy, Law, and the meaning of the hidden initial D.

Law continues the close-range exchange, gripping his sword as Doflamingo says it is of no concern to him. Doflamingo asks, "Do you actually think Straw Hat Luffy... led by fate, has come... to claim my head? I, who possesses the blood of gods?" Law answers with a furious technique, "Ludicrous!" while Doflamingo swats or blocks the attack with string-like force. The page shows Doflamingo rejecting the idea that Luffy's arrival has any fated meaning over him.

Doflamingo explains what he knows about the D. clan: "In a certain land... there are those who refer to the clan of D thus: God's natural enemy." Law answers, "I, too, am a D." Doflamingo is shaken and then attacks, the clash sending Law skidding through the ground under huge impact sound effects. The page reveals Law's full identification in the present fight and puts Doflamingo's Tenryuubito blood directly against the name D.

The scene cuts to the former Royal Plateau, where Viola reports what she sees across Dressrosa. The palace plateau is split into three theaters of war: the Smile Factory, the statue of Pica, and the plateau on which the Royal Palace is located. Viola says that on the top floor of the palace, Straw Hat has fallen to the floor below, and Law also appears to be wilting before Doflamingo's onslaught. She warns that the longer the battle progresses, the greater the casualties on both sides will be. Below, citizens shout to put out fires and hold back rampagers, while others realize that another controlled civilian, not a pirate, is attacking. The page turns the duel into a countrywide status report under the Birdcage.

A detailed battle map lists the remaining Donquixote executives and their positions. On the top floor of the palace are the current king of Dressrosa, the Thread Human Doflamingo, and his staff, the Mucus Human Trebol, with a translator note that mucus can also be read as viscous fluid. In the Sunflower Fields on level four is Diamante, the colosseum's hero and Flag Human. On level three is the underling leader Gladius, the Puncturing Human. On level two are Lao G of the Earth Sage Fist, the half-fishman Dellinger, the super weight human Machvise, and the full-body Weapon Human Baby 5, plus about ten others. The Smile Factory is guarded by the free-swimming human Senor Pink. On the stone statue of Pica is Pica, the stone assimilation human. The page provides the tactical overview for the final battles in Dressrosa.

The battle montage continues across multiple locations. At the Smile Factory, Franky and Senor Pink trade blows while Franky complains, "Your attacks are putting me to sleep over here!" On level three, Gladius faces Bartolomeo and others, saying, "En garde, Gladius!" and "The deciding moment draws near!" Rebecca and Robin watch the fighting, and Cavendish tells Robin-senpai to go on ahead. Atop the stone statue of Pica, Zoro faces the enormous stone body as the narration says the fighters in most ongoing battles are barely standing. The page shows that every front is reaching a decisive moment.

At the palace, Kyros attacks with "Army Bantella," with a translator note glossing it as "Army Flag." Rebecca sees the ground moving and shouts, "What!? The ground is...!?" Inside the palace, Leo and the Tontatta allies burst in shouting, "Here we come!" and call out, "Princess Mansherry!" In front of the Royal Palace Plateau, people are being moved to safety: someone says, "Quickly, get to a safe place!" and another answers, "Thank you! I'm glad you're okay!" A responder says, "I doubt there are any anymore, though..." The page ties the combat fronts to evacuation and the attempt to rescue Mansherry.

On level two of the Royal Palace Plateau, fighters are thrown through smoke and rubble while Law, Luffy, Zoro, and the others' allies struggle through the chaos. Chinjao or another fighter lands heavy blows, while another yells, "Vise! 10 ton!" and Kyahahas that the opponent cannot touch this. Nico Robin reacts, "You... what did you just..." and someone else asks, "Eh!?" The page keeps the level-two melee in motion, showing how the lower battlefields are being reshaped by the collapsing terrain and the remaining Donquixote officers.

This file carries the official "ONE PIECE ...CH. 768 END" strip, though file 14 appears to belong just before or alongside this closing beat. Robin says that if they cannot take down Doflamingo, their fates within the Birdcage will not change, and someone asks whether they mean to entrust the fate of the whole country to pirates. When Law reveals, "I, too, am a D," Doflamingo says it is a secret name and asks whether Law is implying that fate brought him here as well. He demands, "What type of bullshit did Corazon drill into that head of yours!?" Law says it is just because he is a D. Doflamingo mocks him: "You actually believe you can stop me? That 'natural enemy' stuff is all just superstition! You're within the Doper's sphere of influence!" The page ends the chapter strip on Law and Doflamingo's ideological clash.

This page appears after the ending strip in the folder, but its action belongs to the same final exchange. Law uses "Injection Shot!!" and drives his sword into Doflamingo at close range. Doflamingo is shocked, and Law thinks that Cora-san knew only all too well that if Law could just beat Doflamingo by virtue of his name alone, he would not need help. Law says this was the catalyst: "The trigger that the kind Cora-san could that day not bring himself to pull, I've come to pull in his place!" The side note announces, "The counterattack begins!" The page clarifies the chapter title by making Law's attack the trigger Corazon could not pull against his brother.
