Chapter 725, "The Undefeated Woman," opens with Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World - Volume 41 - "A Dinosaur Appears." In stark black silhouette, a giant dinosaur head lunges over the crowd, jaws open as people below throw up their hands in panic. A spiked emblem hangs in the sky like a warning sign, while the chaos around Caribou's cover story grows from local rebellion into something stranger and more dangerous.

On the bridge between Green Bit and Dressrosa, Law stands against Doflamingo and speaks of the old grudge driving him. Doflamingo dismisses it: "It's no grudge... it all for the sake of that person's greatest wish..." and sneers that everything Law is doing is "just over some petty, unjustified grudge!!!" Law answers that he has survived "to this very day!" The clash of their Haki cracks and bends the bridge around them. Doflamingo says that "Black Leg" made an appearance earlier and that Law's plans are now running into difficulties, then asks, "...What will you do with Jora?" Law says he believes Doflamingo knows exactly what sort of "family" his is. Doflamingo answers, "That's right, Law... for the young master's sake... I'm ready to give my life at any time..." and tells Law, "As far as possible, now. That's how far you should run."

Far from the bridge, the Sunny sails away over the rough sea. Chopper worries, "I wonder if Tora-man's really okay! Can you guys please just keep your eyes open!?" Nami scans the sky and reports, "Nothing unusual over here, Nami-san!!" but remembers the danger: "That's what I want to hear! If that guy comes flying at us again..." She plans the countermeasure: "I'll just blow away all the clouds with a strong wind!! Then he should not be able to follow us." Meanwhile, the ship leaves Law behind and says, "Anyhow, protect Robin-chan with your life!! See ya later." Chopper explains the strategy with grim clarity: "Law's plan was to leave Doflamingo alive and kick that Yonkou Kaidou's ass!! As long as he focuses on escaping, then he shouldn't have to die either." Sanji adds that if Zoro's group can meet up with Luffy, they will be fine, because Franky, Usopp, and Robin are together.

Momonosuke, still in dragon form, cannot stop trembling. Sanji asks, "What's wrong Momo?" and then realizes, "You're a dragon again." Momo answers, "I... I cannot... stop shaking. That... 'flying man'!!" He says he saw Doflamingo once before, when he was at "that place," and the memory leaves him terrified. Caesar howls that the young master is going to die, while the Sunny's crew pushes forward and refuses to understand Doflamingo's bond with his people. Doflamingo, back on the bridge, tells Law that humans, no matter how good they seem deep down, all possess a certain cruelty that lusts for blood. He says if Law cannot cut down the enemy, then at least he must spill some of his own blood. Doflamingo calls this truth "entertainment," reducing pain, fear, and death to a spectacle.

Doflamingo drags Law into that spectacle, slashing him as people cry, "You filth!" and "So get with the program!" Doflamingo tells his men, "I never want to see another sorry match like today's." They answer, "Yes!! Young master!" The story cuts to Kin'emon and Momonosuke's search. Kin'emon says, "Kinemon, Momonosuke!! Oh, it's you Kanjuro!" while the hidden voice answers, "I have found the harbor..." Kin'emon explains, "Let us borrow a boat there. I do not feel good about this country..." and adds, "But I think that then Kanjuro was captured by that man. And I am once again filled with unease...!!" As the Sunny sails away, the crew can only hope: "Please be safe, Kanjuro...!!" The battlefield and the rescue mission remain linked by the same uncertainty.
Sanji carries Momonosuke and tries to calm the crew's fears. Momo asks, "Why do you speak in monotone...?" and Sanji answers, "So don't worry about it." He explains that the Donquixote Family will not treat their hostages too roughly, though the way they are treated depends on why they are being pursued. Violet speaks through her clairvoyance and reveals her own movement: "I've... asked an acquaintance. They can put me under government protection. They're coming to meet me at the harbor." She thanks the others because she can finally take a first step forward. Sanji, still sentimental, murmurs about Nami, and Violet suddenly warns, "Ahh!! This is bad!! Your ship is under attack by Fighting Fish!!" The crew reacts in alarm: "Fighting Fish!? What're those!?" Violet tells them, "You've got to get over there quickly!!" and says, "I'm on my wayyyyy!!!"

In Dressrosa's streets, Rebecca is shown on a public screen, fighting inside the colosseum. A gunshot rings out with "Bang!" and the crowd jeers: "Damn that Rebecca!! She's as tough as ever!!" One viewer yells, "Hurry up and die, little girl!!" The screen suddenly explodes, scattering spectators into confusion: "The screen exploded!" and "What happened!?" Rebecca calls to her mount, "Mr. Horse!" and the toy horse answers, "Yes?" She then makes her decision in the open street: "Please take me to the Royal Palace!!" The scene makes clear that Rebecca's fight is not just entertainment for the crowd. She is trying to reach the palace and move toward the center of Dressrosa's hidden tragedy.

At Dressrosa's Corrida Colosseum, the crowd roars. Nearby, Bartolomeo keeps weeping as he tries to process the presence of Luffy. Someone asks, "Why does he weep...?" and Bartolomeo sobs, "B... b... because I've been your fan this whole time!!" Another person says, "This guy doesn't seem that good at talking..." and asks Luffy, "Hey how do you know that's Luffy... and how do you know my name?" Bartolomeo blurts, "If I go and search for Luffy-senpai, would you give me an autograph?" The request overwhelms him so badly that when told, "...? You'll find him for us? Yes, please!! And hurry up!!" he answers with total devotion: "Just wait right there!! I'll find him for you!! Even if it costs me my life!!"

The colosseum announcer turns the crowd's attention back to the arena: "It's the white-hot D-block. Contestants are being eliminated in droves!!!" The ring is chaos, with fighters crashing into each other in every direction. Rebecca moves through the violence with speed and evasion, avoiding direct damage while other gladiators are knocked down or thrown out. A huge fighter is sent flying with a cry of "Uwahhhh!!" The page focuses on the brutality of the block and the contrast with Rebecca's method. She is not overpowering people with raw strength; she survives by refusing to be where the blows land.

Rebecca keeps slipping through the fighting. One opponent lunges and misses, another is hurled away, and Rebecca's movement leaves her enemies striking empty air. The page fills with impact sounds and frustrated cries: "Ohhhh!!!" "Gwah!!" "Owahh!!" and "You!!" She breathes hard, but she remains untouched. Every panel emphasizes her pattern: evade, redirect, survive. The arena sees her as a hated target, but her technique forces even stronger opponents to defeat themselves or each other. The sequence builds the chapter's title directly into the action: Rebecca is the undefeated woman because no one can land a clean hit on her.

The announcers explain Rebecca's method: "Rebecca's specialty, the 'Last Stand Sword Dance'!" and complain, "Dammmn!! She sure is tenacious!!" Her strategy is precise. With her back to the outer moat filled with Fighting Fish, she uses her opponents' own power to drop them into the drink. The crowd is told that her surprising speed allows her to use their force against them, and in every match she has been in, "she's never once wounded anyone!!" The announcer calls her "the undefeated woman" because she has beaten them all by ring-outs, and no one has even landed a blow on her. Luffy watches from the prisoner gladiator lodging and wonders, "So I guess she can use Color of Observation Haki?" then cheers, "Not bad at all! Do your best, Rebecca!!!"

Cavendish watches Rebecca with a smile and admits, "I've got to be honest here!! I really don't dislike her!! (I like her!)" Another announcer praises her: "This woman's fighting style!! It's not at all unbeautiful! (It's beautiful)." But the arena is not filled only with admirers. The announcer warns that the tournament could be different now, because strong contenders from every country have gathered, and every fighting style is represented. Then a massive man steps forward: Southerly "Mahatatsuka Kingdom" army commander Rolling Logan. He spreads his huge hands and asks, "Now how many bones should I break!?" Rebecca, facing him, snarls, "You hateful little girl!!!" The crowd's contempt and Logan's brutality gather around her at once.

In the colosseum basement medical treatment waiting room, Sai calls out, "Participant Chinjao..." because Chinjao's grandfather has still not returned. Chinjao insists, "But my gramps who went in there earlier still hasn't come out!!" When someone mentions "next," he snaps, "'Next,' you said!? Don't tell me he's dead!! Hey!!" The staff explains that the exit is just further inside, so Garp's old rival will not be coming back that way. Sai tries to comfort him, but Chinjao shouts that his grandfather is the kind of guy who would die even if killed, then abruptly realizes the misunderstanding. He apologizes to the staff over and over: "Sorry about that misunderstanding... no, I really apologize... there's no excuse..." and finally bows in tears: "Please forgive me!!!! Uuuhhh..." The staff tells him not to worry and to proceed inside.

Sai is taken to an examination table. A staff member asks, "Participant Sai of Kano-kuni, yes?" Sai answers, "Mhm." The examiner says, "Let's begin the exam." Before the check can continue, Sai is suddenly dragged away into darkness. He cries, "Eh?!" and "Hey!! What the hell!" as something pulls him down. The next panels show a hole or chute below the medical area, and Sai falls with a heavy "Thud...!!" A voice calls, "Next!!" as if the process is routine. The medical treatment room is not simply a recovery area; it is a trap feeding eliminated fighters into a hidden underground space.

Sai lands in a vast underground chamber filled with defeated fighters and toys. Around him, people shout, "All the losers in this competition so far... seems like we've all been dropped down here." Others panic: "What on earth is this place...!?" and "You guys too!! What the hell is this!?" A giant fighter asks, "Eh...? Hajrudin! Ah!" The fallen competitors realize the prison is enormous and that escape is not simple. One asks, "What's going on...?" another says, "There's no way out! We've been trapped by that Doflamingo bastard!!" and another cries, "How do we get out of here!?" Below them are "toys and... fighters..." One man notes, "Ouch ouch...!? What's this... a mountain of toys...?" The page also cuts to outside observers: depending on what happens, Doflamingo may hold this grudge for generations, while others admit that the King Punch does not work on these walls because the basement walls are the earth itself. The chapter ends with the losers trapped beneath the colosseum, exposing another layer of Dressrosa's machinery.
