Evil's Champion

A vibrant color splash page for One Piece features Monkey D. Luffy in his straw hat, blue vest, and pink shorts energetically pointing forward with a stick while standing on a tiger-striped surface. Beside him, a woman with long dark hair in a pink hooded jacket with fur trim waves with a confident smile. The jungle background includes a bright waterfall, hanging vines, and smaller figures leaping through the trees. Scanlation credits appear on the sides for cleaning, redrawing, translation, and providing.

Luffy and a massive feathered figure clash violently, their heads smashing together in a burst of impact lines and crackling energy. "LAW'S FUCKING HEAD IN!" someone roars as the collision sends shockwaves through the ruined street. Luffy's eyes widen in shock. "WAS SMASH..." The feathered fighter grins savagely. "ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO... WHY'D YOU STOP MEI" In the distance, a labeled battlefield shows Luffy facing Doflamingo amid rubble marked "ARCH ENEMIES! THE FINAL BATTLE! LUFFY VS. DOFLAMINGO!" A sudden explosion of black lightning erupts from the clash. "WHAT! A CLASH OF HAOSHOKU HAKI!I" cries a shocked observer. "THAT SNOT NOSED PUNK HAS IT TOO!I" The ground erupts in a massive crater as the two forces collide.

The clash intensifies with black lightning and shockwaves radiating outward. Luffy and the feathered fighter are locked in midair combat. "...!!" Onlookers react in awe. "HAOSHOKU HAKI! THAT'S HAKI! HEEEY~ THEY ALL PASSED OUTI" A hooded figure stares in disbelief. "I" Law lies injured nearby, murmuring "STRAW HAT-YA... SOME... TOO..." A small bandaged child with dark eyes declares, "YOU ARE HEAVEN'S CHOSEN! IT IS PROOF OF ONE WHO HAS THE QUALITIES OF A KING! DOFLA-MINGO..."

Doflamingo looms over a table holding a pistol, a strange pear-shaped fruit, and a key, his grin wide. "SHALL I GIVE HIM THE POWER TO EXACT REVENGEI IF YER' A MAN, IT'S TIME YOU TESTED YOURSELF. GOT SOMEONE YOU WANT DEADI" Below, the battlefield rages as Luffy clashes with the feathered fighter. "DOFFY IS DIFFERENT... HE'S CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH! BEHEHE! YOU'LL NEVER BE A MATCH FOR HIM! THERE ARE TOO MANY TO COUNT! SOMEONE I WANT TO KILL!I" A scarred man glares. "*T/N: A SANSKRIT TERM USED IN BUDDHISM THAT MEANS DEMON THEY HAVE MADE THIS MAN INTO A MONOLITHIC YAKSHA*! HIS FATE INVOKED HIS RAGE! HIS BIRTH FOSTERED HIS MADNESS!" Luffy stares upward with wide eyes.

The feathered fighter spins violently through the air. "SPIN" Luffy is hurled backward amid debris and impact lines. "FWIP" The fighter lands a powerful strike, sending Luffy crashing down. "TREMBLE" The scarred observer watches with intense focus as the battle rages on the ruined streets.

Luffy rockets through the air with a powerful spinning kick, his leg extended in a massive impact that sends shockwaves and debris flying. The opponent reels from the blow as huge onomatopoeia ギュン and ドゴォン explode across the panel. A bear-like creature in the background gapes in shock with its mouth wide open. In the lower panels the fight intensifies: Luffy is shown upside-down amid another massive blast, the opponent’s face twisted in pain as more impact lines and SFX ドゴォン and ギュン fill the frame. Motion lines and smoke emphasize the speed and force of the exchange.

The brutal exchange continues. Luffy’s fist slams into the fighter’s face with a sharp ジン impact, sending the opponent flying. Close-ups show both fighters’ strained expressions. Luffy stretches his arm and calls out “GOMU GOMU NO…”. The fighter is hurled backward by another heavy blow marked ドカッ. In the next sequence Luffy’s eyes sharpen as he declares “EAGLE…”, launching a follow-up strike while the opponent crashes through debris. SFX ビリビリ and additional impact effects punctuate the rapid assault.

Luffy unleashes “BAZOOKA!” with a double-fisted strike, the attack marked by FWISSH and a massive ドゴォン explosion that hurls the opponent through the air. The fighter counters with “ATHLETE THREAD!” while spinning mid-air, threads and motion lines trailing behind. Smaller panels show Luffy twisting and the fighter’s body twisting under the force. The sequence ends with the opponent still airborne amid smoke and debris.

The fighter is sent crashing into a stone pillar with a huge ドゴォン and BOOOOM, shattering the structure. Luffy lands and reacts with surprise as the opponent suddenly appears behind him. The fighter grabs Luffy from behind, shouting “BEEE HEHE HE!” while Luffy yells “WHAT THE HELL IS THISI!” and “GWAH!”. Additional SFX パとーん and バチッ mark the struggle. The background shows the ruined colosseum stands as the grapple continues.

Doflamingo looms massively over the rubble, strings binding Luffy and Law as he roars, "YOU FOOL! DON'T FOR A SECOND THINK THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOU COULD EVER DEFEAT DOFFY!" Luffy struggles furiously, shouting "DOFFY! I'LL KEEP THIS ONE DOWN!" and "DAMN IT! LET ME GO, YOU BAS-TARD!" Trebol clings to Doflamingo's back, yelling "I RESENT THAT... I'M STICKY! THIS DAMN BASTARD IS SO CLINGY!" Doflamingo commands, "FIGHT ME! TRAFFY CAN'T EVEN MOVE A MILLIMETER ANYMORE! OI! MINGO! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!! FLATTEN LAW'S HEAD NOW, WHILE YOU CAN!" In a sudden burst, Doflamingo unleashes a powerful strike with a loud "FWOOOH!" as Law grunts in pain "NGGHH!" from the impact.

Doflamingo's massive string form engulfs Luffy, who yells "IT'S USE-LESS, YOU RUBBER FREAK!" Doflamingo retorts "IT'S USELESS! WHA-!I WHAT'S GOING ON!I IF YOU'RE A LOGIA USER THEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT YOU WITH BUSOSHOKU HAKI! AM I REALLY A LOGIAI THAT WON'T WORK ON ME BEHEHE!" An executive with a scarred face notes "I SEE YOU'RE STILL MOVING YOUR MOUTH." Another declares "I DETECTED MOST THE FACT THAT IF I SAT ON THE HEART SEAT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN LUMPED IN WITH BUFFOONS LIKE THAT GUY!" A feathered figure adds "IT REALLY IS POINTLESS, STRAW HAT-YA... FIGHTING AGAINST THAT PAPIER-MACHE, SHITHEAD IS FUTILE." Doflamingo snaps "QUIT IT!! I TOLD YOU, TRAFFY CAN'T MOVE ANYMORE! THE TOP EXECUTIVES ARE THE CORNER-STONES OF THE FAMILY! I SHALL NOT TOLERATE YOU BELITTLING THEM!" launching a sticky attack with "STICKY STICK LAUNCHER!!" as an opponent screams "MMMMMM NNNNGGGGH! YOU PITIFUL EXCUSE FOR AN EXISTENCE!"

The four top executives surround the scene. One growls "WHEN HE IS AMONGST US CURRENT TOP EXECUTIVES... HE IS AS ONE OF US! THAT IS BECAUSE..." Another threatens "STEP ASIDE, DOFFY! I'M GONNA TEACH THAT LITTLE SHIT SOME MANNERS!" Doflamingo declares "LISTEN UP, LAW! DOFFY SHALL ALWAYS BE THE SUPREME KING! HOWEVER," A flashback shows the executives discovering a young Doflamingo. One recalls "SOME 30 YEARS AGO, WE TOP EXECUTIVES... WE FOUND AND TOOK UNDER OUR WINGS SOME-ONE OF PEERLESS POTENTIAL... WE FOUR GAVE HIM POWER, WE RAISED HIM... WE GROOMED HIM INTO 'EVIL'S CHAMPION!'" They react in shock: "AND THEY KILLED YOUR FATHER AS WELL!I YOU WERE ALMOST KILLED IN THE HOLY LAND MARIEJOIS!I I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE IT OUT OF THERE ALIVE. THIS IS A MIRACLE!" The executives pledge "IN RETURN... SHOW US YOUR DREAMS! DOFFY... WE SHALL HEED YOUR EVERY WORD. DOFFY... YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A KING."

The executives continue their address. One states "KNOW THIS, DOFFY... NONE SHALL STAND BEFORE YOU. YOU ARE A KING." Another explains "THE STREETS WERE POORLY PAVED AND SO I TRIPPED AND FELL... THE STREETS...!I WHICH TOWN!I WHERE!I" A wounded man clutches his head, muttering "WHERE'D YOU GET THAT WOUNDI SOME THUGS ASSAULTED ME... I WISH THEY'D JUST DIE. UNDER-STOOD." In a dramatic full-page spread, a cloaked figure stands atop a massive pile of rubble and weapons overlooking a ruined city, proclaiming "RULE AS KING OF THIS SEA! YOU ARE THE MAN THAT WILL ONE DAY..."

Doflamingo's subordinates scream in outrage as they surround the battered Law. "WE'VE PROTECTED HIM ALL THIS WHILE! LIKE HIS FAMILY!" one yells. Another adds, "BUT US FIVE, WE THOUGHT OF HIM AS ONE OF US! AS FAMILY!" A third declares, "WE LIFTED DOFFY UP AS OUR KING AND SHOWED HIS GRACE AND MAJESTY TO HIS UNDERLINGS!" Trebol looms over Law, who lies trapped in sticky goo, shouting "WAAAGH!" From the side, someone retorts, "FROM WHERE I STAND, YOU AND YOUR ATTEMPTS AT PLAYING THE TRUSTWORTHY STAFF LEADER ARE NOTHING MORE THAN... THE FOOLISH FLAILINGS OF A PUPPET WHOSE STRINGS DOFLAMINGO IS HAPPILY PULLING!" Trebol's face twists as he hisses, "YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT, TREBOL." Small figures panic, "HAA" and "WHAAA AAT!I" Trebol laughs, "BEHEHE! I BET YOU FORGOT THAT MY BETO-BETO GOO IS FLAMMABLE!" Law struggles while bound tighter, prompting cries of "HE'S EVEN FURTHER TIED DOWN WITH MY BETO-BETO GOO!" "DON'T BE SILLY! WHAT THE HELL COULD THIS HALF-DEAD NOBODY DO!I" "LAW'S GOT HIS ROOM UP!" "OI! DON'T LET HIM BAIT YOU, TREBOL!" Trebol grunts in pain, "NNNGHH! F... F..." as the narration notes "HE WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE A MUSCLE TO RESIST!" and "FOOLISH FLAILINGS...!I"

A massive, grotesque figure with a staff roars "PIKYA AAAA!!" as it swings wildly. The same character snarls, "I'LL DRIVE THIS THROUGH YOUR THROAT AND SKEWER YOU LIKE THE PIECE OF MEAT YOU ARE!" while another warns, "NOW, JUST TRY AND OPEN THAT MOUTH OF YOURS ONCE MORE!" A wounded voice coughs, "-COUGH-...I HAPPEN TO BE THE CAPTAIN OF MY OWN SHIP..." and declares, "IF I LEAVE THE BOTH OF YOU TO STRAW HAT-YA... -WHEEZE- I WON'T BE ABLE TO FACE MY OWN MEN!" A hand flicks a switch labeled "TACT!" triggering "STERBEN!" Massive German-style letters explode across the panel as debris flies. Close-ups show shocked eyes and the line "HIS ARM!I" The attacker looms over the fallen foe amid swirling black goo and impact lines.

The scene shifts to the ruins near the SMILE FACTORY. A Tontatta cries, "WHAT'S THE MATTER, LEOI" while another asks, "WHAT'S EVERYONE'S DEAL!I" Leo stares in shock, ".....!I" Distant figures react with "HAMI" and "HAH-" as smoke rises over "LEVEL 4 FLOWER FIELDS." A large man wonders, "MY HEART SUDDENLY FEELS..." while a small figure adds, "II" In the background, voices shout, "WE'VE FINISHED DESTROYING THE FACTORY, NOW WE'VE GOTTA HAUL OUR ASSES AWAY FROM THAT SHRINKING CAGE!" "THIS AIN'T THE TIME FOR WAXING POETIC BULLSHIT!" "AH! ROGER THAT, SIR!" and "LIGHTER..." The group stares in unison toward the distant city as the ground trembles.

The massive figure reels, "SO THAT'S WHY MY PUNCHES WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH HIM!" and demands, "WHERE DID THAT SKINNY-ASS GUY SHOW UP FROM!I" A sword clatters as the victim gasps "GAHCK!" Nearby, Law lies bloodied while a shocked observer yells "WHA..." The giant looms, declaring "YOU WILL BE JOINING ME IN HELL!" A close-up shows glaring eyes hissing, "YOU DAMNED FOOL..." and "CUR... SE... YOU... LAW... -WHEEZE-" Below, someone panics, "SHIT! HE'S GONNA LIGHT ALL THIS GOO ON FIRE!" An explosion erupts with the label "AN UNEXPECTED SELF-DESTRUCTION! WHAT HAS BECOME OF LAW IN THAT HUGE EXPLOSION!I" The final panel shows the "ONE PIECE CH. 782 END" logo beside the Royal Palace sign.
