Shichibukai Doflamingo vs. Shichibukai Law

At the Corrida Colosseum, Bellamy's shadow draws close to Luffy. Bellamy remembers Doflamingo's promise: "If I kill him... I can become an officer in the family..." Then he calls out, "Sorry, Straw-Hat." Luffy recognizes him at once: "Kyahh!! It's you, Bellamy!!" Bellamy asks whether Luffy is done with the assassination, and Luffy answers, "Ah... not quite yet?" The new fighter is introduced as Dellinger of the Donquixote Family's Diamante Army. Dellinger asks Bellamy what he wants, but Bellamy replies with the young master's order: if Luffy falls here, Dellinger can finish off that eyesore. Dellinger almost says too much, stops himself, and Bellamy snaps, "What'd you say...!!?" The order against Luffy is now in motion.

Near Dressrosa, on the iron bridge, the fight between Shichibukai and admiral erupts in motion. Trafalgar Law faces Donquixote Doflamingo and Admiral Fujitora amid the broken bridge and surging sea. Doflamingo drives in with violent kicks and threads, while Law moves desperately through the strikes. The panels follow the clash in quick impacts: blades and bodies collide, the bridge splinters, and Law narrowly avoids being cut down. A blow lands hard enough to scalp through the battlefield's tension, and Law's face tightens as he realizes he is being pressed by two monsters at once. The page contains almost no dialogue, only impact marks and the physical reality of Law being cornered before Dressrosa.

The bridge battle continues without mercy. Doflamingo's body swings through the air, his feathered coat whipping around him as Law tries to evade and counter. Law uses his power to shift the field, but every movement is met by Doflamingo's pressure and Fujitora's looming presence. The motion turns into a storm of SFX and sudden reversals: "WHOOSH!!" marks Doflamingo's movement, and the heavy impact of his assault throws debris and dust across the frame. Law is forced backward and upward, fighting for space as Doflamingo keeps the initiative. The sequence makes the gap clear without needing explanation: Law is dangerous, but he is trapped between Doflamingo's speed and an admiral's authority.

Law finally fires back with a technique: "Bullet Thread!!" The shot pierces through the chaos, striking Doflamingo's body and sending a burst of blood and motion through the scene. Law shouts under the pressure, and Doflamingo laughs as if the wound is only entertainment. In the wreckage, Fujitora stands calm while Doflamingo smiles and asks, "Now what shall we do, Law..." Then he points the stakes directly at Dressrosa: "Dressrosa is right over there." Law breathes hard while the island sits within reach. Every step he takes matters, because the fight is no longer only about survival; Doflamingo is measuring how Law's choices will affect the country behind them.

The story cuts between battlefields. At the bridge, Law contacts Doflamingo with a casual "Hey, Doffy," and Doflamingo apologizes because he was in the middle of a conversation. He says, "Violet's betrayed us," and explains that thanks to her, they now have no idea about the Straw Hat crew's plans. He orders Lao G's group deployed to the entrance of the SMILE factory, and Doflamingo says those defenders alone should be enough. Law, watching the machinery of Doflamingo's organization move, calls the confidence absurd: "You've gotta be joking." But Doflamingo adds that the others are about to enter the ring for the finals and heat the place up. Even while fighting Law, he is still managing Dressrosa like a board game.

Doflamingo's arrogance meets Law's hidden intent. When one of his men asks whether he is not a genius, Doflamingo answers that if they are going that far, they should leave it to him. Law hears Doflamingo reason out the trap: "If I have this right, you were just a lure... Law..." In the meantime, the Straw Hat crew was supposed to destroy the factory, so even if Law died, Kaido would still come after Doflamingo. Law confirms the gist, and Doflamingo notes that the plan depends on an enormous amount of trust in the Straw Hats. He asks, "Why... why would you trust Strawhat that much!?" Law, battered but smiling, answers through pain: "...Haa... haa... Surely, 'D' will once again call forth a storm...!!!"

In front of the Corrida Colosseum, Luffy's disguise fools almost no one who knows him. He asks, "What're you doing here, Zoro!?" and Zoro fires back that if Luffy knew there was a tournament like this, he should have invited him along. Kin'emon's older-man disguise stands beside them as Zoro explains that he has been running around the whole city. A Marine force also watches the area. Vice Admiral Bastille confirms what they suspected: the man in the disguise is the Pirate Hunter, Zoro, and the one inside the colosseum is likely Straw Hat. Another voice points out that Lucy must be incredibly strong if no one has realized who he is in this country. The Marines understand the Straw Hats are here, but they do not strike yet.

Vice Admiral Bastille orders restraint. He tells the Marines to keep circling the colosseum for now, because if they attempt to capture the Straw Hats and create a commotion, the hordes of villains emerging from the colosseum will become wary of their presence. As the Marines review the list of fighters already eliminated, one officer cannot recognize any of the names in the notes and wonders who exactly they came to capture. Nearby, Zoro and Kin'emon use the Den Den Mushi. Kin'emon says Sanji told him the call should be made after they met Luffy, and they learn the key update: "Luffy, the colosseum is surrounded by Marines." Zoro stays casual about it, which draws the complaint that his attitude misses the main issue entirely.

On the waters near Dressrosa, the Thousand Sunny receives the call. Sanji decides the next connection should go to Kin'emon, and Chopper is told to connect to Usopp with that line. Once the group links in, the crew and allies begin shouting updates at once. Usopp reports in, Luffy calls for Sanji, Sanji asks if he is there, and Nami answers that it is her. Franky announces, "Oww!! Franky, here... But I'm with Usopp and Robin!" On the ship, Brook, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, and Momonosuke gather around the Den Den Mushi. In Dressrosa, Franky explains that he is with the anti-Doflamingo group, the Royal Riku Army. The reply is immediate disbelief: "An army!?" "An army of dwarves!?"

The conference call becomes chaotic enough that the Tontatta have to shout, "This is a conference of heroes!! Please don't listen in!" and Usopp, as Usoland, tells everyone to understand. Franky explains that the dwarves are planning to take down Doflamingo today, and that the Toy Soldier is actually the captain of this brigade. Luffy immediately recognizes him as the weird soldier they met in front of the colosseum: "Ah!! That guy!! The Toy Soldier!! The one who Rebecca was trying to stop!!" Franky asks whether Luffy has talked to Rebecca, and Luffy describes her kindly. The crowd wanted to piss her off, he says, but she seems like a good person; she was low on cash, yet treated him to three bento boxes anyway. Luffy's memory of Rebecca gives the rebellion a human face.

Franky lays out the strategic problem plainly. He acknowledges Tora-man's plan: they are supposed to destroy the factory and let Doflamingo live another day so that they can use him further. But Franky asks whether it is truly in their best interest to let Doflamingo win against the people who want revenge today. The country may look great at first glance, yet it is hiding deep darkness. Franky's decision hardens: "...Luffy, no matter what you say, I'm fighting with them!!!" He cannot send the Tontatta and their allies to challenge such a powerful, underhanded enemy alone. The page shows the brave little fighters gathered together, and Franky chooses solidarity over the original plan.

Sanji and Luffy react at once to Franky's resolve. Sanji admits the obvious moral truth: "Well, I can't just send them off to die!!" Luffy's eyes sharpen, and the group at the colosseum prepares to pull back. They say, "Alright, we're heading back...!!" though the others had hoped they would not say that. The Toy Soldier warns that the soldier is going to die, while Franky calls out from the line. Luffy gives the only order that fits his heart: "Go wild!!!" Zoro, Kin'emon, and the others turn from the colosseum with determination, promising, "We'll join up as soon as we can!!" Franky roars back in gratitude: "Oww!! Thanks a ton!!" The Straw Hats are no longer merely escaping; they are moving toward Dressrosa's rebellion.

At Dressrosa's shore, the Thousand Sunny approaches a city already shaking from battle. Someone cries, "Isshou-san!!" and another voice reports, "There's a huge fight going on in town!!" The ship's watchers realize they must hurry. Inside the city, people look toward the noise: "Hmm!?" "What's going on there? What are we hearing!?" "What the!? The city..." The next instant, a massive explosion tears through the street with a roar: "Owaah!!" Smoke, debris, and bodies fly as the shock wave blasts through Dressrosa. The outside allies, the citizens, and the fighters all become aware at the same moment that Law's clash with Doflamingo and Fujitora has spilled into the city.

The smoke clears enough for the civilians and Marines to identify the danger. Someone gasps, "That's...!!" and another cries, "Vice Admiral Bastille!" The Marines and citizens stare at the devastation in shock: "What is it!?" "Hey!" From the rubble, Doflamingo stands over the battlefield while voices shout his name and Law's: "Doflamingo!!" "Tora-man!!" Luffy, seeing Law injured, yells in alarm, "Hey!! Tora-man, why're you with Mingo...!!?" Law lies battered, breathing hard, while Doflamingo smiles and judges him: "This brat... has pushed his luck far enough!!" The hidden bridge battle has reached the public eye, and Luffy now sees that Law's life is in immediate danger.

The final spread strikes like an execution. Fujitora reacts as Doflamingo brings his foot down and crashes Law into the ground, the impact exploding through the street while Luffy screams, "Tora-man!!" The assassin's bullets pierce through the chaos, and wounded voices cry out: "Cough!!" "Cora-san...!!" Luffy's eyes widen, unable to move fast enough from behind the bars of the colosseum exit, while Doflamingo smiles with terrifying calm. Law's body is crushed under the assault, and the people nearby stare in horror as the fight's brutality becomes undeniable. The chapter ends with the note that One Piece is on break next week, leaving Law beneath Doflamingo's attack and Luffy frozen between the tournament, the Marines, and his ally's crisis.
