A massive, colorful splash page celebrates the Straw Hat crew and their allies at a vibrant underwater-themed bar called Mermaid Cafe. Luffy laughs wildly in the center, raising his arms as drinks and food fly everywhere. Nami sits at the counter sipping a cocktail with a smile, while Chopper in a hat eagerly reaches for treats beside a relaxed Franky. Sanji swoons over several mermaid women on the right, and Zoro scowls nearby holding bottles. Brook plays music in the background as other crew members and guests party under glowing lights and bubbles. Fish swim around the coral-filled floor. At the bottom, the chapter title reads CHAPTER 724 - "LAW'S STRATEGY".

In a massive clash, Doflamingo counters with "PREMIER HACHE!!!" while laughing "FUFUFU-FUFU!!!" Sanji is sent flying amid smoke and impact lines.

Sanji counters with "POÈLE À FRIRE", his flaming leg striking Doflamingo. Doflamingo retaliates with "SPECTRE!!!" creating a massive spiraling impact that engulfs Sanji in a burst of force and debris. Sanji is slammed down with heavy impact sounds "ドドドドド" and "ドッドッ!!" as Doflamingo looms over him. A voice exclaims "OOH...!! WHAT STRENGTH! YOU SURE CAN FIGHT." while more "ドッドド" effects shake the panel.

THAT'S THE YOUNG MASTER'S ABILITY AT WORK!! NOW HE'S LIKE AN INSECT CAUGHT IN A SPIDER'S WEB!!" Onlookers cry, "WHAT!I SANJI-SAN HAS STOPPED IN MID-AIR!!" and "WHAT THE!I I CAN'T MOVE!!" Below, a masked figure with a stitched grin looms, shouting "SANJI-SAN...!!!!" while a panicked woman and others yell "SANJI-KUN, RUN AWAY!!" and "JUST WAITING FOR DEATH!!!"

High above the city, Sanji plummets as a voice declares "OVER".... Nami shouts, "WE COULD NEVER..." while Sanji roars, "FLY WITH COUP DE BURST!!!" and "DON'T TRY ANYTHING! JUST GET AWAY!!" A figure questions, "A WHIP!I" Below, Law appears in motion, calling "SHAMBLES!!" with a massive SFX "ばっ!!" and "ドン!!" as the ground erupts in debris and smoke.

A massive circular ROOM expands over the sea with SFX "ROOM!!" and "ブゥーン!!". The note reads: "TN: THE ATTACK IS WRITTEN AS 'EXCESS WHIP STRING'". Sanji glares as a clawed figure lunges, yelling "HEAT!!!" with impact SFX. Law floats upside-down, calmly saying "HMMI" while a giant sphere and whip-like strings slash through the air. Doflamingo's masked face watches intently amid clouds and motion lines.

A shocked face cries "AH!I IT'S LAW!" as massive strings whip through the air with SFX "ギャイン!!", "オオオ", and "POP!". A voice mutters "THAT BRAT...". The scene shifts to a dramatic wide view of Dressrosa with a huge title sign "DRESSROSA" and massive SFX "ゴゴゴゴン". Buildings are sliced apart amid "SLASH!..." and chaos.

On the stormy seas, a desperate voice cries out, "SORRY, THIS WAS MY FAULT!!" Law shouts "LAW!!" as another yells, "IT'S TORA-MAN!! HE SAVED SANJI!!" Someone urges, "LET'S JUMP TO THE SHIP!" A massive impact shakes the scene with "ビシャッ..!!" Sanji-kun!! and Tora-man-san!! echo as a woman screams "KYAHH!!" while a figure in a crown gestures wildly. Distant pops sound as the ship rocks violently. Caesar Clown tumbles through the air, roaring "NUAHH!!! SHIT! BACK ON THIS DAMN SHIP!!!" He panics, "CAESAR...!!!" while another voice complains, "HOW CARELESS OF ME!!" and "OH, IT'S JORA ISN'T IT! SAVE ME!! THEY CAPTURED ME AS WELL!"

On the deck, panicked voices overlap: "AND MY FATHER!I AND WHAT OF KANJURO!I" "SANG-OROI!!" "THE SAMURAI IS ALSO AT THE FACTORY. HE'LL BE RESCUED WHEN EVERYTHING'S SAID AND DONE." "WE KNOW THE FACTORY'S LOCATION, BUT FRANKY SAYS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH HARDER TO DESTROY THAN WE EVER COULD HAVE THOUGHT." "BLACK LEG-YA! HOW'S THE 'FACTORY DESTRUCTION' PLAN COMING ALONG!I" "DOFLAMINGO'S COMING AGAIN!!" A tearful figure wails with Japanese text overhead. Inside the cabin, Law states, "YOUR HEART IS CURRENTLY INSIDE ME." A voice replies, "THIS IS MY HEART." "YOU JUST BROUGHT IT FROM INSIDE THE CABIN!I" "HEY!! IS THAT HEART MINE!I" "THERE'S STILL TIME!!" Law hands over a heart, saying, "ANYHOW, YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS GUY, AND HURRY ALONG TO ZOU!!" The recipient gasps, "SHIT!! SO YOU HAD IT ALL ALONG!!"

Cavendish questions, "YOU SAY 'NEXT ISLAND,' BUT WHAT OF LUFFY-SAN AND THE OTHERS!I" Law answers, "IT'S THE NEXT ISLAND. I THOUGHT I ALREADY GAVE YOU THE VIVRE-CARD." Nami reacts with shock, "ZOU!I" She declares firmly, "ABSOLUTELY NOT!! WE'RE WAITING!! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN SET SAIL WITHOUT OUR CAPTAIN!! WE'RE THE STRAWHAT CREW, AFTER ALL!!" Law continues, "SO WE'LL FOLLOW ALONG AFTER YOU SOON ENOUGH! ONCE THE FACTORY IS DESTROYED, WE'LL HAVE NO MORE BUSINESS ON THIS ISLAND." A massive floral explosion erupts from the sea with "ズドドドドド..." and "WAH!" as the crew reacts in alarm.

A massive battleship hurtles through the air toward the Sunny with "ギゴゴゴ..." Someone shouts, "THAT BATTLESHIP IS FLYING AT US!!!" Another cries, "BUT HOW!I" On deck, Law tells Caesar, "YOU'RE FREE TO STAY, BUT I CANNOT LET HIM HAVE CAESAR." A crewmate warns, "AND DOFLAMINGO IS COMING FROM OVER THERE!!!" The ship tilts wildly amid flying debris and rose petals as the crew braces for impact.

Explosions tear through the sky as a mustached man bellows "FIRE!!!" A massive "BOOM..." rocks the battlefield while someone screams "WAHH!!" Fiery meteors streak downward. "METEORS!I" a voice cries in alarm. The Thousand Sunny pitches violently on the waves beneath the falling rocks. "ROOM!!!" echoes as the ship surges forward. A terrified crew member shouts, "AND NOW SOMETHING'S RAINING DOWN FROM THE SKY!!!"

On deck, a blond man argues, "AND I DON'T CARE IF WE HAVE TO GO ON AHEAD NOW, BUT...!" Another replies, "I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO GET CAESAR FAR AWAY FROM HERE." Law grips his sword and orders, "HEY, LAW!! THEN HURRY UP AND GO!!" A crewmate yells, "TORA-MAN-KUN, WE'RE THE SWIRLYSTRAW CREW NOW, SO LET'S SET SAIL!!!" Law counters, "AREN'T YOU... FOCUSING A BIT TOO MUCH ON DOFLAMINGO!I" He continues, "AND THAT OUR MUTUAL GOAL WAS TO TAKE DOWN THE EMPEROR, KAIDOU!!! I THOUGHT THAT DRESSROSA ONLY REPRESENTED A CHECKPOINT IN OUR PLANS." A massive meteor slams into the sea with a thunderous impact as someone screams "THE METEOR THE METEOR!!!" A pointing hand declares "TACT!"

Fujitora remarks, "LESH PROSHEED TO DRESSHROSA. IS THIS REALLY THE TIME TO BE EATING..." while munching. Someone notes, "WHOOPS THAT WAS CARELESS. LAW MUST BE RIGHT BELOW US..." A panicked voice cries, "ISSHOU-SAN!! THE HULL IS BREACHED!!!" The battle shifts as the ship rocks. "THIS BATTLE... SEEMS TO BE CHANGING LOCATION... SO ADJUST OUR BEARINGS." A desperate figure pleads, "JOKER, SAVE ME!!! IT'S THE WHIP FROM BEFORE!!" Doflamingo laughs "FUFFU FUFFU!!" as a massive strike lands. The sea erupts with "OVER HEAT!!!"

Law explains, "HE CAN MOVE THROUGH THE AIR BY ATTACHING HIS STRINGS TO CLOUDS! SO HE CAN'T CHASE YOU INTO AN AREA WITH NO CLOUDS!!" A voice warns, "LISTEN CLOSELY. HEAD FOR SOMEWHERE THAT DOESN'T HAVE CLOUDS!!" Someone realizes, "STRINGS...!! SO THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE!" The narration notes Doflamingo's ability: "DOFlamingo HAS THE ABILITY OF THE ITO ITO NO MI." A furry fighter shouts, "YOUNG MASTER! PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!!!" Law yells, "DOFlamingo!! LOOK HERE!!" A bound man screams, "GET READY FOR THE COUP DE BURST!!!" as the ship launches skyward amid massive explosions.

Waves crash against the rocky shore beneath a long bridge as two voices debate the situation. "OF HELPING HALF OF THE STRAWHAT CREW ESCAPE....I" one asks. Another replies, "SO WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE POINT..." A close-up shows a scarred eye and gritted teeth. "WHO UNDERES-TIMATED THIS CREW AND WERE BURNED FOR IT. ISN'T THAT RIGHTI" On the stone plaza, Law stands with his back to the viewer, feathery coat billowing, facing Doflamingo who holds a stringed figure. "IF YOU TRY THAT... WELL, THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY..." Doflamingo declares. "WHEN THE OTHER HALF IS IN DRESSROSA....!!! I'LL JUST TAKE THEM HOSTAGE AND FORCE THE OTHERS TO RETURN CAESAR TO ME." In a crowded room, Doflamingo grins wildly while gripping a weapon, surrounded by allies including a blonde woman and a small figure. "IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT MY PIRATE ALLIANCE WITH THE STRAWHAT CREW ENDS HERE!" someone exclaims as a startled "AH!I" rings out.

Law points forward intensely, his face shadowed under his hat. "ALTHOUGH I'D LOVE TO SEE THE ENSUING CHAOS THAT YOUR DEATH BRINGS TO THE WORLD..." Doflamingo retorts from a high vantage, gesturing dramatically with a cigar. "WAS MY ONLY AIM!!" Law continues, "USING THEM TO STOP THE PRO-DUCTION OF 'SMILE'S'... SINCE WE JOINED..." A helmeted ally and a masked figure react in shock. "YOU'LL HAVE LOST YOUR 'SMILE'S'..." Law states as the view shifts to a lone figure standing before a massive, ruined structure. "SO EVEN IF I FAIL TO HAVE MY REVENGE AGAINST YOU IN THIS BATTLE..." The panel erupts with impact lines. "IT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO SET MATTERS RIGHT IN REGARDS TO 13 YEARS AGO!!! JOKER!!!" A deep connection is noted. Doflamingo's face twists into a wide, menacing grin. "I SEE HOW IT IS... SO YOU ARE PREPARED TO DIE ALONG WITH ME....!!! AND YOU'LL BE ELIMI-NATED BY KAIDOU!"
