The chapter title page displays the One Piece logo above the bold text CHAPTER 730 - "THREE CARDS". Below, a dramatic scene unfolds in a ruined, mountainous area. In the foreground, an elderly woman with a large head, bun hairstyle, and wide grin weeps with visible tears while smiling. Behind her, a tall cloaked figure stands calmly on the left. In the center, a massive round object lies toppled with people tumbling off it; one figure clings desperately to the top while another is flung through the air. On the right, a spotted figure reacts in shock. Scattered debris, broken structures, and dust fill the chaotic background. At the bottom, a volume note reads: CARIBOU'S KEHIIIHIII IN THE NEW WORLD - VOLUME 45 - GABURU SHOUTED OUT, "GRANDMA IS PRECIOUS TO ME!!!" followed by the author credit 尾田栄一郎.

Panic grips the citizens of Dressrosa as they shout "DRESSROSA WAS IN SUCH A PANIC!" and "THANK GOODNESS!!" while others cry "SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!!" and "わあああ". A soldier yells "OI!!! MINGO!!" as the scene shifts to the devastated royal palace area. Explosions and gunshots echo with large "!!!" and impact effects. From the rubble, a tall figure in a feathered coat stands amid smoke and debris. A voice asks "WHAT HAPPENED TO TORA-MAN!I" while another demands "HEY!!! WHAT WAS THAT EXPLOSIONI AND THOSE GUNSHOTS!I" and "WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE!I". Law lies defeated on the ground as Doflamingo declares "LAW WAS ORIGINALLY ONE OF MY MEN!! I'M THE ONE WHO HAD TO SET THINGS RIGHT!!!" and "STRAWHAT, YOU'RE IN NO PLACE... TO SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT...!!". He continues "THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY NOW!!!...I'VE JUST ELIMINATED THIS THREAT!!" and "HE'S THE PERPETRATOR BEHIND THE MISPRINT OF MY ABDICATION THIS MORNING!! HE TRIED TO YANK ME DOWN FROM MY THRONE, BUT... THIS IS THE SHICHIBUKAI, 'TRAFALGAR LAW'!!!" while apologizing "SORRY ABOUT THE DISTURBANCE!!" to the surrounding crowd.

Tension rises among the gathered fighters. A voice suggests "...HMM... ALRIGHT! SHOULD WE CAPTURE HIMI THE 'PIRATE HUNTER' IS ON THE MOVE!!" while another commands "HOLD YOUR POSITIONS." and "KIN!! CARRY TORA-MAN AWAY!!" with the reply "UNDERSTOOD!". A large bearded man in a top hat roars "BY DOFLAMINGO!!! LAW-DONO WAS FELLED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!!" as a small figure cries "HEY!! EXPLAIN TO US WHAT'S GOING ON THERE!!" and "EH!I". Another warns "BUT OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T!!! DON'T LET HIM TRICK YOU!! WE'D NEVER HAND HIM OVER!!!". A spiky-haired man laughs "FUFFUFFU!!" while a voice identifies "THE 'PIRATE HUNTER'... AND 'KIN'EMON OF THE FOXFIRE' IS ITI". In the background, a cloaked figure carries Law away as the group reacts with shock and determination.

A fierce clash erupts with massive impact effects and crossed blades. A swordsman in a dark coat swings multiple swords against a feathered opponent amid flying debris and motion lines, with "!!!" and large Japanese SFX emphasizing the strike. Below, the fight continues in close quarters as the swordsman is struck with "CRACK!" and "!!" effects. A voice declares "IT IS FOR BOTH OUR SAKES..." while another states "THAT I WILL NOT SAY." A close-up shows a determined man with a scar glaring intensely, and a spiky-haired figure with sunglasses thinks "THIS GUY IS...!!" as the battle rages on.

In the next sequence Zoro is shown being struck amid shattered windows, with Kin'emon yelling "ZORO!!!" and "KIN'EMON!". Kin'emon then lies sprawled on the ground, groaning "NUAHHHHH!!" and muttering "......!!" while saying "BUT... THIS IS SEASTONE, ISN'T IT...". He clenches his fist and declares "I'LL BE RIGHT THERE...!!!" as he forces himself up.

A ferocious flying slash tears through stone, shattering the ground with massive SFX "ギャギギギギン!!" and flying debris. Fujitora stands with a grim expression, sweat visible. Kin'emon reacts in shock, "A FLYING SLASH... HOW FEROCIOUS..." and shouts "JUMP!". Multiple voices cry out "ISSHOU-SAN!! ADMIRAL-DONO!!!". Fujitora grips his cane-sword, thinking "WAS REALLY A MARINE ADMIRAL!!" and "SO THE OLD BLIND GAMBLER...". Kin'emon desperately calls "KIN'EMON-SAN!! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!I" and "DID THEY GET YOU!I" as Fujitora pants "HAA... HAA...".

Below, Fujitora stands firmly on rocky ground gripping his cane, declaring, "...I'LL LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, TENYASHA, BUT... AFTER THAT, I'LL BE MAKING A DECISION." A winged figure holding a sword replies, "IF YOU COOPERATE WITH ME, I WILL GIVE YOU THESE BRATS' HEADS." The same figure adds, "WE'LL TALK MORE AT THE PALACE, FUJITORA!!" Massive impact effects shake the ground as the confrontation intensifies.

A panicked figure cries, "I MUSTN'T BE CAPTURED BY BIG MOM!!" "HUHI!" "PLEASE SAVE ME!!!" A small girl watches nearby. The large man in the gas mask shouts back, "AS IF I CARE ABOUT YOUR SHITTY LIFE!!" while adding, "BUT THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE HANDING YOU OVER!!

On the deck of the Thousand Sunny, the crew reacts in panic as the ship flees Dressrosa. A bearded man in a black hat shouts, "DON'T DRAW THE YONKOU ANY CLOSER TO THIS COUNTRY!! THE CITIZENS WOULD ALL PANIC... AND OUR SOLDIERS' BATTLE PLANS WOULD BE THROWN INTO CHAOS!!" Nearby, another crew member yells, "IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT!!!I SANJI!!! BUT WAIT, HEY..." A voice adds, "WE NEED TO GET FAR AWAY FROM DRESSROSA!! THINK WE CAN LOSE 'EM!I" Explosions rock the background as the ship pulls away. Someone exclaims, "SHIT! AND AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!" Below deck, a masked figure with goggles and a fur collar clutches Caesar Clown and growls, "HMM!!I HOLD ON, WHY IS CAESAR ON THE SHIP!!I" A flashback panel shows Law's instructions: "LAW TOLD US TO BRING CAESAR TO THE NEXT ISLAND, SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT HIM!!!" The masked man continues, "LAW WOULDN'T BE IN SUCH A PINCH IF EVERYTHING HAD GONE AS PLANNED!! SEEMS LIKE THE DEAL FAILED!!" Nami, with long wavy hair, explains, "CAESAR, THE SMILE FACTORY, AND FOR SOME REASON, MOMONOSUKE. THERE ARE NOW THREE 'CARDS' THAT WE'RE STRUGGLING AGAINST DOFLAMINGO FOR!!" Sanji appears in the foreground as Nami cries out, "SANJI-KUN!! I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD RETURN!! BUT I'M NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE I'M AFRAID!! LISTEN, LUFFY!"

The masked crew member continues, "WE'VE GOT THE OTHER TWO CARDS HERE!!" while holding Caesar. A close-up shows his gritted teeth as he adds, "THE SMILE FACTORY HASN'T YET BEEN DESTROYED, SO THAT ONE'S STILL HIS, BUT..." In another panel, the bearded man in the hat and a goggled ally discuss, "AND I SUSPECT THAT HE WAS ALSO FIGHTING IN ORDER TO BUY TIME FOR DESTROYING THE FACTORY!" The masked man realizes, "LAW'S FIGHT WITH DOFLAMINGO WAS A MERE DECOY, SO THAT WE COULD GET THESE CARDS FAR AWAY FROM HIM!!" Nami sweats and exclaims, "...TORA-MAN WENT THAT FAR TO PROTECT THESE CARDS!! IF WE ACT IN A WAY THAT WOULD DELIVER THEM RIGHT INTO THE ENEMY'S HAND...." The bearded man finishes the thought, "...THAT WOULD BE NO WAY TO REPAY HIS EFFORTS!!!"

The crew resolves to act. A panel shows the Sunny sailing toward a distant island as voices shout, "STEAL BACK TORA-MAN!!!" and "WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA..." The bearded man in the hat confirms, "...THAT'S RIGHT. GOT IT!!" Inside the ship, the crew calls out orders: "SANJI!!! NAMI!!! CHOPPER!!! BROOK!!! MOMO!!! KEEP ON HEADING FOR ZOU!!!" A fish-man crew member replies, "UNDERSTOOD, CAPTAIN!! ALRIGHT..." The bearded man notes, "IT IS ZOU, THAT IT IS!!" and asks, "WHAT'S THE NEXT ISLAND, AGAINI" while looking at a map. From the deck, someone yells, "TO FIRE BACK AT BIG MOM'S SHIP!!" as a small figure leaps, "EHHH!!I" Sanji, lighting a cigarette, declares, "ALLOW ME... I JUST NEED PERMISSION FOR ONE THING!!"

Chaos erupts on deck as the crew argues. A small reindeer-like figure shouts, "WE'VE ALREADY PICKED THAT FIGHT!!" while another yells, "THAT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS!!" and "STOP IT!!" The masked crew member laughs, "HEH HEH, YOU BET IT IS!!" as the ship rocks violently with a large "ドゴォン!!" sound effect. Sanji waves from the railing, "OKAY! WE'LL BE WAITING AT ZOU!! SEE YOU GUYS LATER, THEN!!" The bearded man in the hat roars, "STAY SAFE, EVERYONE!!!" while a large woman in a floral dress bellows, "LEAVE THE DESTRUCTION OF THAT FACTORY TO US!!" The small figure waves, "UOHHH!" as the crew separates, the Sunny pulling away amid splashes and motion lines.

Allies surge ahead in a determined rush toward the distant palace. Usopp, goggles fogged and sweat flying, yells with fierce resolve, "AN EVIL DESERVING OF A GOOD BEATDOWN!!" A hooded woman with a sweat drop on her cheek glares forward as two speech bubbles declare, "HEADING FOR THAT PALACE!! WE'LL BE..." The ruined palace looms in the background with birds scattering. In a massive central panel, bold lettering proclaims the group's goal: "TO KICK DOFLAMIN-GO'S ASS!!!" A bearded man in a dark hood grimaces with gritted teeth while a large grinning figure in armor and a tall hat stares intensely ahead, motion lines emphasizing their forward charge.
