The One Piece logo dominates the top of the page. Below it, bold text reads CHAPTER 781: ‘LONG-CHERISHED DESIRE’. The main illustration shows a bustling harbor scene with two large ships docked. One ship has a spotted sail and a black flag; the other features a massive fish-like figurehead. A large cloaked figure stands in the foreground with their back to the viewer. In front of them, a group of small characters reacts with surprise, including a round creature with large ears and a tail, a child in a striped outfit, and several others on the wooden pier. A musical note floats near one ship. At the bottom, a narration box states: “SOLO VOYAGE OF JINBE, FIRST SON OF THE SEAWOL. 25-YEAR APOLOGY FOR BREAKING THEIR ACTUAL ONES, THE SEA BEASTS. ‘ALLOW THE FISHERMEN TO USE THEM AS FISHING BOATS’”. The author credit “EIICHIRO ODA” appears prominently beneath the panel.

Panic erupts across Dressrosa as the massive Birdcage of threads begins contracting. A terrified citizen screams, "THE FENCE OF THREADS IS MOVING!" Another yells, "LOOK!! IT REALLY IS MOVING!!" and "THE 'GAME OF DEATH' IS CLOSING IN!!!" The colossal structure of threads slices through buildings with a deafening ズバァー... impact, sending debris flying. Civilians flee in terror, shouting "RUN! NO WHERE'S SAFE!" and "KYA AAA AAA!!" while others urge, "HEAD FOR THE TOWN CENTER!!" The ground shakes violently under the advancing threads as the deadly game tightens around the city.

The Birdcage continues shrinking from all sides. Observers note, "THE BIRDCAGE APPEARS TO BE CONTRACTING ALL OVER!!" and "THIS IS EASTERN TOWN 'CALTA'..." while another adds, "IT'S THE SAME ON THE WEST SIDE!" A man in a top hat mutters, "SOONER OR LATER, RIGHT...I" Near the Royal Palace, someone cries, "EVERYONE WILL DIE....!!" Law grabs a cloaked figure and demands, "'GAME'I! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI!" Doflamingo replies with a grin, "AHH, YOU'LL HAVE TO PARDON ME... APPARENTLY I FORGOT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I CHANGED THE RULES OF THE GAME....!!" Law retorts, "WELL, I'LL NEED YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION..."

Luffy stares at the massive Birdcage dome and declares, "THEN, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BE FILLETED....!!! NOW, HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE..." He concludes, "LET'S SEE... I'D GIVE IT ABOUT AN HOUR." Doflamingo explains with a wide grin, "YOU SEE, THE 'BIRDCAGE' THAT'S SURROUNDING THE TOWN RIGHT NOW... IS, LITTLE BY LITTLE, SHRINKING AND CONTRACTING." Citizens scream in horror as the threads advance: "IF WE DON'T STOP THE CAGE FROM SHRINKING....!!" "THIS IS COWARDLY....!" "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONI!" "TRAFFY'S BEEN BEATENI!! THE BIRDCAGE IS SHRINKINGI!!" A woman shouts, "WAAAA AAAH~!!" while others plead, "THE WEAKER CITIZENS HAVE BEEN EVACUATED... SO WE MUST HURRY!" and "HEY, SOMEBODY... ANYBODY... COME HELP US!!!"

The group debates the shrinking Birdcage. One voice says, "THOUGH, TO PUT ALL THE LIVES OF EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY ON LUFFY-DONO'S SHOULDERS MAY BE JUST A TAD UNREASONABLE....!!" Another replies, "BUT STILL, WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU!!!" and "THAT'S OUR ONLY WAY OUT!!!" Someone yells, "BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF DOFLAMINGO....!!! LUFFY!! HURRY!!!" Doflamingo laughs, "FUFUFU... NOBODY WANTS TO COME SAVE YOU....!!!" A sweating figure in a hat thinks, "IN LETTING THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THIS COUNTRY'S SECRET LIVE...I!!! AFTER ALL, WHAT MERIT IS THERE..." Doflamingo continues, "YOUR EVERYTHING!!! FU FU FUUU!!" as the Birdcage looms over the ruined landscape near a tower labeled "TOWER H..."

Doflamingo looms with a cruel grin, addressing Luffy directly. "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, 'MUGIWARA-YA'...THAT IS WHAT HE CALLED YOU, ISN'T ITI...FUFUFU..." A close-up shows Luffy's furious glare. "BEFORE YOU!" Doflamingo continues, "...IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR DEAR FRIENDS HAVE GONE AND DIED JUST A LITTLE BIT..." Luffy roars back, "THEN THIS STORY HAS A DIFFERENT ENDING!!" He stretches his arm and charges, shouting, "MINGO!! IF I JUST BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW..." Doflamingo mocks him, "THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE THAT FACE! AFTER ALL, ONE CAN ALWAYS MAKE ANOTHER COUNTRY!" Luffy unleashes his attack, "GOMU GOMU NOOOO!!!" Law's voice cuts in with "CHAMBRES" as the room shifts. Doflamingo laughs, "THAT'S A REALLY BIG IF... BESIDES, I REALLY DESPISE ALTERNATE ENDINGS... FUFU FU!!"

Law appears in a massive close-up, eyes blazing as he shouts, "LAW!!!" He drives a devastating punch into Doflamingo's face with a sharp "VNN!!" The impact sends shockwaves through the giant room. Doflamingo is hurled backward. Law declares, "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GONNA DISAPPEAR, DOFLAMINGO!!!" and "THIS 'OPE' IS GOING TO DESTROY YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT." Luffy watches with fierce determination and yells, "DO IT!!!"

Law strikes from above with a glowing blade, shouting, "GAMMA KNIFE"!!! The attack pierces deep into Doflamingo's chest inside the massive room. Doflamingo's eyes widen in shock as he realizes, "...THIS WHOLE PLACE IS THE INSIDE OF A 'ROOM'!!" He snarls, "THAT LITTLE BASTARD'S STILL ALIVE AND KICKING!!" and "HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO DO AN 'OPE OPE' ATTACK WITHOUT YOUR DAMN 'ROOM'I!" Doflamingo screams in agony, "GWWW WOOO OOOAAA ARGH...!!!"

Law stands amid the ruined cityscape, explaining, "AND I JUST KEPT IT UP WHILE CLINGING ONTO LIFE....!!!" and "IT'S PROBABLY NUMBERED MY DAYS A LITTLE, BUT... I'VE CREATED A GIANT ROOM SO BIG THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT..." Doflamingo, bloodied and desperate, thinks, "...ALL FOR THE SAKE OF WAITING FOR AN OPENING... THIS INSTANT... TO GET IN THIS ONE ATTACK...!!!!" Law's strike lands; Doflamingo gasps, "HE MISSED MY VITALS...!!!" Law activates the technique again with "CHAMBRES" as Doflamingo collapses, a voice crying "DEAAAAAD" while Doflamingo grunts in pain, "HNGGH!!!"

A battered man with a scarred face pants heavily in close-up, sweat flying as impact lines and "PANT" effects surround him. "SORRY 'BOUT THAT, BODY DOUBLE...!!" he gasps. Explosions rock a ruined bridge as a massive bird-like creature crashes through debris with "NGH" and "VWWWNN!!" sounds. Luffy, covered in injuries and wearing a tattered hat, shouts desperately from the rubble, "WAIT!!! I'M ALIVE!! LISTEN TO ME, "MUGIWARA-YA"....!!" Law, eyes wide and furious, roars at the enemy, "HOW DARE YOU!!! YOU FUCKERS!!! HEEEY!!! TRAFFY!!!" A voice replies, "WHEN IT'S ALL OVER, I'LL PUT YOU BACK." In the final panels, Law glares back over his shoulder with a determined expression, declaring, "...DON'T LOOK BACK AT ME!! I'VE GOT A PLAN!!!"

Doflamingo looms over Law in a powerful downward strike, feathers and smoke erupting as he yells, "EVEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO THIS ATTACK!!!" Law is slammed into the ground with a pained "GWFA AAH!!!" In the next sequence, a reptilian fighter snarls, "DOFFY!! YOU'RE ROYALTY!!! DON'T LET YOUR KNEES TOUCH THE GROUND--!!!" while Doflamingo is hurled backward. Luffy stretches his arm and shouts, ""GOMU GOMU NO"!!!" as Law screams "LAAAAAW!!!" Doflamingo coughs violently, bloodied, admitting, "IT'S NO USE....!! EVEN IF YOU KILL ME, YOU'RE ALREADY...!...YOU REALLY GOT ME GOOD..."

Luffy launches a devastating aerial kick labeled "JET STAMP!!!" that sends Doflamingo hurtling through the air amid massive shockwaves and "OOOO RGPH!!!!" effects. The impact creates a colossal explosion of debris and smoke. Doflamingo crashes violently into the ruins with a massive "DOOOOFF-FYYY!!!!" cry, his face twisted in agony as rocks and dust fly everywhere.

Doflamingo snarls from the rubble, "YOU BASTARD!!" while Luffy yells back, "WAIT, MUGI-WARA-YA!!" A massive, bloodied figure with a spotted hat pants heavily, clutching a skull and declaring with a manic grin, "HE... HE'S MINE....!!" Law activates his ability with the word "ROOM" as a glowing hand symbol appears. Luffy, exhausted and wide-eyed, shouts from the side, "OII!! CAN YOU EVEN MOVEI!" while the giant figure continues to pant and glare.

Law stands over the battered Doflamingo, declaring, "YOU ARE BEYOND SAVING NOW... THE 'GAMMA KNIFE' DESTROYS YOUR ORGANS WITHOUT LEAVING ANY EXTERNAL WOUNDS. AS A DOCTOR, THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE DIAGNOSIS. UUUU UGH...!!!!" Doflamingo lies broken amid rubble as the attack's effect is shown. In a massive close-up, Law's massive Room technique engulfs Doflamingo, who roars, "DONE TO DOFFY~!!! YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT NOW!!! WHAT HAVE YOU... LAAW~!!!" The final panel shows Law's hand striking with a massive impact, "BFOO OOH!!!"

Luffy watches tensely as Doflamingo's massive hand attack erupts toward him, shouting, "YOU STAY PUT!! BFEEEEE EEEEH~!!!" Doflamingo, bleeding and dripping, taunts Law about betrayal and Corazon: "...YEAH... HE BETRAYED ME... THAT WAS UNFORTUNATE... AND THEN WHEN YOUR OWN LITTLE BROTHER TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM FLYING OFF THE DEEP END, YOU SHOT HIM DEAD... YOU JUST CALL WHATEVER GROUP OF SHITS THAT HAPPEN TO BE CONVENIENT FOR YOU YOUR FAMILY!" Law replies calmly, "AFTER ALL... YOU AND I ARE THE SAME....FU FUFFUF FUFFUUUUU!!!! BUT I CAN....FU FU BUT YOU KNEW THAT CORA-SAN WOULD NEVER ACTUALLY PULL THE TRIGGER... TO THINK THAT HE WOULD EVER POINT A GUN IN MY DIRECTION......YEAH. I'M FINE WITH THAT."

Doflamingo grins maniacally, "...SHALL I SAY THE WORDS YOU SO DESPERATELY WANT TO HEAR, LAW...I TO ME, CORAZON WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A BURDEN... A HINDRANCE AND AN EYESORE...!! AND THAT DAY, WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS SLAUGHTER... THAT DAY... THE ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE DIED WAS YOU!!!" Law unleashes a devastating attack, "COUNTER SHOCK!!!" with massive impact and "HPHG GH!!!" Doflamingo is blasted backward as Law yells, "DOFFY~!!!" and Doflamingo retorts, "...!! GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING DEMON!!!"

Luffy reacts with shock, "HUHII!" as a massive explosion erupts. Doflamingo's voice declares, "AS EXPECTED OF OUR WONDROUS KING!!!" Law, wounded, questions, "WHAT DID YOU SAYI!" Doflamingo explains, "ARE YOU PERFORMING OPERATIONS REPAIRING AND MENDING MY ORGANS. RIGHT NOW, INSIDE OF MY BODY... MY 'STRINGS'... I CAN PERFORM EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT UPON MYSELF...!...AS LONG AS I HAVE AMPLE TIME... THAT'S JUST HOW VERSATILE MY ABILITY IS..." Law attacks again, "GOD-DAMNIT!!!" Doflamingo continues, "NOW... ALLOW ME TO END YOUR LIFE!!! ANYWAYS... CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUICIDE ATTACK!!! IT'S NOT EXACTLY REGENERATION OR RESTORATION..."

A powerful kick slams down from above with a sharp "!!I" and heavy impact SFX "ガッ" "ッ!!!". Below, a heavily bandaged man grits his teeth in pain, muttering "...GOD... DAMNIT...". In the next panels a lone figure with dark spiky hair leaps high and delivers a devastating kick that sends a massive, leafy mass flying amid motion lines and impact sounds "ゴゴゴゴ". Luffy stares upward with fierce determination, sweat flying, as the narration declares "CARRYING EVERYTHING ON HIS BACK, THE CURTAIN RISES ON THE FATED FINAL BATTLE!!!". Beside him looms a close-up of a scarred, white-haired man with a cigarette, eyes narrowed in rage, the page ending with the official "ONE PIECE CH. 781 END" logo.
