STARS

A massive Birdcage dome engulfs Dressrosa as rubble and debris fly. A voice declares, "AND NOBODY CAN ESCAPE FROM THE 'BIRDCAGE'!" Another shouts, "NOBODY WILL COME TO SAVE YOU...!!!" The narration states, "DRESSROSA ENCAGED!!" In the streets below, a man in a top hat yells, "UNBEKNOWNST TO THE WORLD AT LARGE, YOU WILL DIE HERE ALONE." A suited figure with a scarred face adds, "COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Citizens scream in panic: "OR THEIR BEST FRIENDS...!!!" "SOME-BODY STOP ME!!!" "BE IT THEIR OWN FAMILIES...!!" A desperate cry rings out, "DAD, STOP!!" as a young woman reaches toward the chaos, while another warns, "YOUR CRAZED FELLOWS WILL CONTINUE TO HARM THOSE AROUND THEM WITHOUT DISTINCTION OR REMORSE."

A cloaked figure stands amid smoke and rubble, shouting "ISSHOU-SAN!!" as others cry "URGH!!" "UGH!!" and "NGUOOHH...!!!" A fighter yells, "GET AWAY FROM ME, ALL OF YOU!!" while another gasps "PANT". In a close-up, a man with a scarred forehead roars, "THERE IS NO SAFE HAVEN TO BE FOUND WITHIN THIS CAGE!!!" A speech bubble warns, "NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO RUN OR HIDE..." Below, the narration continues over the ruined city: "THE DEATH OF EVERYONE ON THIS ISLAND, OR THE FULFILMENT OF MY CONDITIONS!!!" and "THE TERROR OF THE BIRDCAGE WILL CONTINUE FOR AS MANY DAYS AS NEED BE!! IT IS ONLY A QUESTION OF WHICH COMES FIRST!!"

A colossal factory structure erupts violently from the ground amid explosions and smoke. Voices exclaim, "IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLEI!" "THE FACTORY JUST ROSE OUT OF THE GROUND AND WENT OFF SOMEWHERE!!" and "WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT DOFLAMINGO BASTARD IS PLANNING..." Amid the destruction, someone shouts, "IT'S TIME TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!!" Another replies, "BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE- THIS IS OUR CHANCE!!" In the lower panels, a massive man with a striped shirt and beard yells, "WE ARE FINALLY FREE FROM OUR UNDER-GROUND PRISON!!" while another cries, "THANK YOU, GOD USOPP!!" as impact sounds "ドドドド" and "わぁぁぁぁ" fill the air.

In the streets of Dressrosa, a group stares in shock at Usopp. "TH...THAT GUY'S NOSE LOOKS JUST LIKE THAT OF THE FAMED 'SOGEKING-SENPAI' WHO SHOT DOWN THE FLAG AT THE TOWER OF JUSTICE, BUT COULD IT BE...I" one whispers. "YES, THAT'S HIM. HIS REAL NAME IS USOPP," another confirms. Robin reacts with surprise: "R...ROBIN-SENPAI, I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE... I MEAN, I WANNA ASK YOU SOMETHING!!" Usopp panics, "AH! WICCA!!" Nearby, Franky mutters, "A... AN IRON CHEST-BANDI! THIS FOREIGN CULTURE... I LIKE IT!!" while Kin'emon asks, "WHAT WAS ALL THAT FUSS JUST NOW, KIN'EMONI" The scene shifts to an intense close-up as Usopp's allies rally. "THIS IS THE MAN WHO MADE SHORT WORK OF MY ARM...I!" one growls. "THE HELL ARE YOU GETTING ALL WORKED UP ABOUT, YOU FANATIC!!! GIVE IT A REST!" another shouts. "IT'S THE ENEMIES LOBBY SHOT OF JUSTICE DUO!!!" they declare together. "OHHH, MAN!!! THE MAN WHO FIRED THE SHOT THAT MADE AN ENEMY OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THE WOMAN IN WHOSE FRAGILE HEART THAT SHOT FOUND ITS MARK!!" a voice exclaims. In the lower panel, the group reunites emotionally. "THEY MUST HAVE RISKED THEIR LIVES FOR THE CAPTAIN!! KABU-SAN!! RAMPO!! WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU!!" "WE FOUND THEM COLLAPSED IN A PALACE CORRIDOR!" "I AM GLAD I WAS ABLE TO REUNITE YOU WITH YOUR COMRADES. THOUGH SMALL, YOUR PEOPLE ARE TRUE WARRIORS!!" Usopp thanks them, "THANKS, TOPKNOT-LAND!!"

Chaos erupts across Flower Hill as Doflamingo's voice booms, "YOU ARE ALL MERE 'VICTIMS'!!" and "CRY OUT!! EMBRACE YOUR HATRED!!" Explosions and smoke fill the air while fighters clash. "STOOOP!!" someone yells amid the fighting. "AAAHHH!!" a warrior screams as debris flies. In the next panels, characters realize the truth. "THEY WERE ALL BEING CONTROLLED..." one says. "THE RIKU ROYAL ARMY..." another notes. "I FINALLY SEE THE TRUTH!! THAT NIGHT, KING RIKU..." Kin'emon exclaims. "THIS IS THAT NIGHT TEN YEARS AGO ALL OVER AGAIN!!...IT'S LIKE WE'VE GONE BACK..." a fighter growls, baring teeth. Below, a close-up shows a character clutching his face in agony: "DOFLAMINGO...!!!!" followed by "...STOP THIS..." The final panel reveals a massive figure looming over the ruined city with the anguished cry, "...BY DOFLAMINGO!!!" as smoke and destruction continue to spread.

Doflamingo towers over the battlefield from a rocky throne, smirking. "OR WILL YOU LEND YOUR AID TO MY DONQUIXOTE FAMILY..." he taunts. "THINK CAREFULLY... WILL YOU COME AND TRY TO TAKE MY HEADI!" he challenges. Below, he continues, "MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE, AND THE GAME WILL NEVER END!!" while pointing dramatically. "...AND BRING THE TWELVE FOOLS WHO OPPOSE ME TO JUSTICE!!" he declares. Luffy, Law, and allies stand ready. Suddenly, a convict screams in terror, "AHHHHHH!!" Doflamingo laughs, "THESE ARE THE CONVICTS I ASK YOU TO SEEK!!! FOR EACH STAR, I WILL PAY ONE HUNDRED MILLION BELLI!!!"

A massive spread displays wanted-style portraits of key fighters under stars. Rebecca (Corrida Colosseum Imprisoned Gladiator, Granddaughter of King Riku), Usopp (Straw Hat Pirates "Devil Child"), Kin'emon (Samurai of Wano Country "Foxfire"), Viola (Dressrosa Former Princess), Franky (Straw Hat Pirates Cyborg), Kyros (Dressrosa Former Army Captain), and Zoro (Straw Hat Pirates "Pirate Hunter") appear in the top row. The middle row shows Sabo (Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army), Luffy (Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates), Law (Captain of the Heart Pirates, Royal Shichibukai "Surgeon of Death"), and Riku Doldo III (Former King of Dressrosa). Doflamingo reacts with wild laughter: "FUFFUF-FUFFU!!!" "THREE HUNDRED MILLION!!!...ARE ALL WORTH THREE STARS EACH!!!" he roars. "THE MAIN LEADERS OF EACH ORGANISATION..." he notes. "VIOLET, OFFICER OF THE FAMILY...!!! SHE WAS REALLY PRINCESS VIOLA...!!!" a voice cries. "THERE ARE PIRATES UP THERE, TOO!! IT'S THE STRAW HATS!!!" another shouts. "C...CAPTAIN KYROS!! I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM! THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR!!!" someone exclaims in shock.

A massive crowd of gladiators and pirates erupts in shock and excitement. Voices shout, "THERE'S A BIG SHOT FROM THE REVOLUTIONARIES, TOO!!! THEIR CHIEF OF STAFF!!!" "!!!! HIS MAJESTY IS STILL ALIVE...!!!" ".....KING RIKU....!!!" "THE NEW 'PIRATE ALLIANCE'!!!" "LAW AND STRAW HAT LUFFY!! IT'S THAT DUO WHO'S BEEN THE TALK OF THE PAPERS..." A masked fighter with a long tongue roars, "HE IS THE VERY REASON WHY YOU ARE ALL FORCED TO TAKE PART IN THIS TWISTED GAME!! TO THE LUCKY INDIVIDUAL WHO BRINGS ME THIS MAN'S HEAD...!!!" Another panel shows him continuing, "AND FINALLY... THERE IS ONE MAN WHO HAS ANGERED ME TODAY MORE THAN ANY OTHER...!!!" Smaller panels capture reactions: "...TH...THANK GOODNESS... THEY HAVEN'T NOTICED ME..." "EVEN MEI!!" "IT SEEMS WORD HAS TRAVELLED QUICKLY..." The bottom splash reveals Usopp in a helmet, eyes wide with panic, as he yells, "I WILL PAY FIVE HUNDRED MILLION BELI!!!" The text below him reads "STRAW HAT PIRATES 'GOD' USOPP" with five stars.

Usopp continues shouting desperately from the platform, "YEAHH-HHHHH-HHHH!!! THAT'S ENOUGH TO LIVE OUT A WHOLE LIFE OF PLEASURE!!" The crowd goes wild with cheers and chaos: "FIVE HUNDRED MILLION!!!" "WHOA-AA!!!" People raise weapons and fists as debris flies. The scene shifts to a panicked group fleeing through a corridor. One figure yells, "USO-LAND IS IN TROUBLE!!" Another voice adds, "TH... THIS IS QUITE TERRIBLE..." A massive close-up shows a dark-skinned fighter with a wide-open mouth screaming in terror amid the stampede.

Above ground, a group including a man in a top hat and goggles shouts, "WE'RE GOING ABOVE-GROUND. ALL OF US. HURRY!!" A woman asks, "SABO-KUN, WHAT NOWI!" Another panel notes, "I'M SEEING TWO ONE-STARS AND A THREE-STAR AS WELL!!" "THE FIVE-STAR TARGET!" Explosions rock the area as someone yells, "ROGER THAT!!!" "DAMMIT- ALL! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!!!" A large fighter apologizes while attacking, "SORRY 'BOUT THIS, GOD USOPP!! DIE FOR US, WILL YAI!!" Below, a samurai falls into a hole as voices cry, "HE FELL DOWN!! THE SAMURAI FELL INTO THE HOLE!!!" "HERE GOES NOTHING!!!" Dwarves discuss, "...A...ACCORDING TO THE DWARFS, THIS IS THE SCRAP-YARD....!!!" "ARE YOU REALLY HERE, KAN-JUUROUI!" A fierce fighter glares, "THERE'S ONE OF 'EM OVER THERE, TOO!! THE ONE-STAR SAMURAI!!! THAT'S A HUNDRED MILLION BELI!!!"

A towering figure with wild hair stands atop a massive stone structure overlooking the burning city, declaring, "EVEN AS YOU HESITATE, PEOPLE WILL FALL AND YOUR HOMES WILL BURN AROUND YOU!!!" "YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE INDECISIVE!!" Below, a tense discussion erupts among fighters: "WE'LL HAVE TO FACE THE WHOLE DONQUIXOTE FAMILY!! IT'S TWO THOUSAND MEN STRONG...!!!" "NOT JUST ONE MAN. IF WE MEAN TO TAKE DOFLAMINGO'S HEAD..." "IF WE WORK TOGETHER, THE WHOLE COUNTRY AS ONE, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE ON DOFLAMINGO! HE'S JUST ONE MAN!" "JUST WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT KING RIKU WAS INNOCENT ALL ALONG....!!!" "WHAT SHOULD WE DOI!" "BUT KING RIKU HIMSELF WAS ONE OF THOSE TWELVE TARGETS!" In the ruined streets, someone spots, "...THAT 'CYBORG' FRANKY WHO WAS COLLAPSED HEREI!" "HEY!! WHAT HAPPENED TO..." A desperate voice concludes, "IT'S NOT...... IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE TO KILL THEM... IF WE CAN JUST TAKE THEM CAPTIVE... THERE ARE ONLY TWELVE OF THEM....!!!" "THERE'S NOTHING ELSE FOR IT...!!! WE HAVE TO FIGHT!!"

Explosions rock the area as a voice shouts, "GO ON AHEAD!! TO THE SURFACE!!" A massive barrier forms with the cry "BARRIER!!" Someone laughs, "HEHAHAH!! Y'ALL CAN STAY RIGHT THERE!!!" while another screams "UWAA-HHH....!!" In the next scene Robin speaks into a Den Den Mushi: "I'M WITH LUFFY AND THE OTHERS...!!" Usopp replies, "ROBIN, HUHI RIGHT NOW..." Zoro's voice cuts in, "ZOROI!" as the Den Den Mushi rings "BRRRR-RRRING! KA-CHUNK!" Robin asks, "WHERE ARE YOUI" and receives the answer "YEAH." Below, Rebecca stands with others as a voice notes, "RE-BECCA IS..." Someone asks, "REBECCA WAS ON THE LIST TOO, DO YOU KNOW IF SHE'S ALL RIGHTI!!" Usopp adds, "AND USOPP... THAT WAS REALLY HILARI-OUS!!" Robin questions, "ROBIN, IS THAT YOUI! DID YOU SEE MINGO JUST NOWI!! WHAT AN ASS!!" A voice continues, "BUT THIS IS A FINE MESS WE'VE WOUND UP IN..." and another explains, "APPARENTLY THIS PLACE IS CALLED THE 'KING'S PLATEAU'..." Rebecca calls out, "I'M RIGHT HERE!! LUCY, IS THAT YOUI!" while Luffy reacts, "WHAT WAS THAT, LUFFYI!"

A large man glares and growls, "DON'T TELL ME HE'S...!!" Nearby figures react with "EHI!" and "...WAIT, HUHI! WHERE DID SOLDIER-GUY GOI!" Luffy beams excitedly, "AHH!! THAT'S GREAT!! I'VE GOT SOLDIER-GUY RIGHT HERE..." Someone questions, "MR SOLDIERI! MR SOLDIER IS HUMAN AGAIN NOW, RIGHT...I! SAY, LUCY...I!!" The large man lunges, shouting, "LOOK, HE'S ONLY GOT ONE LEG!! THIS'LL BE AN EASY HUNDRED MILLION!! TAKE HIM DOWN!!" A crowd yells, "THERE HE IS!! THE ONE-STAR CONVICT!!" The large man snaps, "HUHI!" and another voice demands, "DID YOU JUST SAY 'WHAT'S HE LIKE'I!!!" while a third asks, "WHAT'S HE LIKEI"

Rebecca stares in shock, exclaiming, "...TURNED OUT TO BE YOUR DAD!!! THE GUY FROM THE STATUE AT THE COLOSSEUM!!! WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUTI! THAT ONE-LEGGED SOLDIER..." Flashbacks show Kyros declaring, "LOOK!! MY BODY IS STRONG!!" "I WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE~" "SOLDIERS LIKE ME~ ARE BRAVE~" and thinking, "...SO HE REALLY WAS..." "...I FAILED TO PROTECT HER...!!!" Rebecca cries, "I'M SORRY I COULDN'T GET YOU THE MERA MERA NO MI YOU WANTED TO EAT!! BUT INSTEAD..." Luffy shouts, "YOU CAN'T CRY YET!! I WON'T LET SOLDIER-GUY DIE!!! SO YOU STAY SAFE TOO!!!" He grins and adds, "GREAT NEWS, RIGHTI! HE'S GONE OFF SOMEWHERE NOW, THOUGH!! LISTEN, REBECCA!!"

Luffy roars with determination, "SO STAY CLOSE TO MY CREW-MATES, ALL RIGHTI!!! I SWEAR I'LL BEAT UP THAT DOFLAMINGO FOR YOU!!!" In the background, a voice asks, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING, STRAW HAT......I!" Robin replies, "HERE WE HAVE..." Luffy continues, "LUFFY, LET ME KNOW WHO'S WITH YOU RIGHT NOW." Someone affirms, "YES...!!" while another states, "SO STAY ALIVE!! GOT THATI!!!" and "I'LL END THIS GAME BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!!" A large man warns, "WE'LL BE THE ONES FORCED INTO HEAD-ON CONFLICT WITH A FURIOUS YONKOU!!!" Another figure adds, "KAIDO'S FURY AT LOSING HIS SMILE SUPPLY..." "IF YOU DEFEAT DOFLAMINGO NOW..." "...WILL BE DIRECTED AT US INSTEAD!!" and concludes, "OUR PLAN WAS TO LEAVE DOFLAMINGO ALIVE AND FORCE HIM INTO CONFLICT WITH KAIDO."

Luffy's face fills the frame, eyes wide and furious as he roars, "YOU THINK I CAN JUST STOP NOWI!!!" A voice answers from off-panel, "WE CAN THINK ABOUT THAT STUFF LATER! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS COUNTRY!!" Luffy reacts with shock, "!!I" Below, soldiers and townspeople scramble through the burning streets of Dressrosa. A gun-wielding fighter shouts, "IF YOU SPOT A TARGET, TELL EVERYONE ELSE AT ONCE!!" Another orders, "SEARCH FOR THE CONVICTS!!" A scarred man with a stern glare stands beside Luffy. In the lower panels, a tall figure in a long coat and hat commands, "OUR TARGET IS THE PIRATE ALLIANCE OF STRAW HAT AND LAW!! SEND WORD TO ALL UNITS!!" Beside him, another voice declares, "WE MUST KEEP THE BERSERK CITIZENS UNDER CONTROL!" A final soldier adds, "WE CAN'T CAPTURE DOFLAMINGO, AND SO...I!" Smoke, debris, and panicked crowds fill the chaotic cityscape.

A wide view of Dressrosa shows the ruined city and distant palace atop a hill. Luffy, still bound, yells, "LIKE HELL THEY WILL!!!" A companion replies, "OH, THEY'LL COME OFF SOONER OR LATER." Luffy insists, "WAIT!! I NEED YOU TO REMOVE MY RESTRAINTS FIRST!!" In closer panels, a woman with a weapon snaps, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO JUMP DOWNI!" Luffy grins wildly, "STRAIGHT AHEAD!!" Another asks, "SO WHAT'S OUR ROUTE, THENI" The group leaps forward in a dynamic splash. Luffy shouts with full force, "GUOO-OHHHH HH!!!" and declares, "YOU JUST WAIT, DOFLAMINGO!!" A voice calls out, "TO THE PALACE!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and chapter number.
