Summary:
Doflamingo orders Pico to force Luffy and the others out of the palace. Doflamingo then releases his birdcage and seals off the entire island with ropes. The strings then latch onto the humans and take control of them, forcing them to attack each other. Pica then rearranges the entire island and levitates areas such as the palace and the Flower Field. Doflamingo announces a game that will kill him to break the cage if they don’t kill all the people he is about to name.
Several former toys run through the streets demanding to know where Doflamingo is and proclaiming their intention to destroy the SMILE factory. At the factory, three guards watch the approaching crowd and wonder what to do, but one of them points out that no one can enter unless they have a key to the building. As several dwarves carry artificial devil fruit across the factory floor, one of the guards notes that the buildings will remain undamaged even if the ceiling collapses on them because they are made of sea stone. Meanwhile, Diamante and Trebol face the approaching crowd. As several warriors rush towards him and attack, Diamante swings his steel cloak in front of his body, causing their swords to shatter upon impact. Several other warriors prepare to shoot at Trebol, who says it’s pointless before impaling their bodies with mucus. While Diamante transforms a nearby wooden pole into a large hammer with Lock, Trebol binds more warriors with Beta-Beta Chain. Diamante crushed the rest of the crowd and berated them for pushing their luck as Trebol slammed the bound warriors into the ground with Beta-Betam. A guard watching from above declares that no one can defeat the two of them.
Meanwhile, in Dressrosa, former Toyboys and henchmen of the Donquixote Pirates clash on the streets as Donquixote Doflamingo’s smiling head remarks that he must do something. As a shocked Trafalgar Law looks at Doflamingo, Kyros declares it to be a ghost before leaping towards Doflamingo and Pico while demanding to know how Doflamingo is still alive. However, he is taken aback when Doflamingo appears behind him with his head still attached and asks Kyros if he wants to learn how to kill a human. As Monkey D. Luffy and Viola call out for Kyros, Doflamingo swings his leg towards Kyros’ head and declares that this is how it’s done. Riku Doldo III screams Kyros’ name as the palace towers are split in half, showing Luffy pulling Kyros down just in time for Doflamingo’s kick to miss him. Doflamingo notices Luffy and prepares to swing at him as the fake Doflamingo’s body does the same, causing Baby 5 to realize there are two of them.
Doflamingo and his clone use Goshikito, causing Luffy to duck out of the way as the combined attack kicks up a large amount of dust. As Kyros apologizes for letting his guard down, Luffy lunges at Doflamingo, who hardens his Busoshoku Haki coat before activating Gear 2 and using Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling, which Doflamingo effortlessly counters for a few seconds before his clone appears behind Luffy and cuts. him across the back with Goshikito. Seeing Luffy flying towards him, Doflamingo hardened his fist with Busoshoku Haki before punching Luffy in the face, sending him back a few meters into the wall. As Doflamingo and his clone stand over Luffy, Kyros wonders what kind of clone it is as the clone begins to unravel into a string, prompting Viola to notice that it is like a string puppet. Doflamingo untangles the clone with his finger and looks at Riku, asking him if he remembers how he felt when Doflamingo stole his kingdom 10 years ago. When Riku confirms this and demands to know why he is asking, Doflamingo states that what will happen soon will not be as small as it was that night.
As Law expresses shock upon hearing this, Riku demands to know what Doflamingo means, but Doflamingo states that it’s time to let them go before ordering Pico to fire everyone. The ground begins to roll and shift, causing those present to be thrown around before two giant stone hands grab them and move them out of the castle. As Luffy, Viola, Kyros, and Law fall to the ground below, Riku manages to grab the stone and pleads with Doflamingo not to cause more damage to Dressrose before he too is thrown. However, Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Fusen to soften everyone’s fall. Meanwhile in the castle, Baby 5 and Gladius are standing next to Doflamingo, who stops manipulating his clone before deciding to end it all and gestures his finger up, causing the string assembling his clone to shoot high into the sky like Doflamingo. smiles.
Underneath the castle, a panting Luffy notes that Doflamingo had them thrown into the Wall Tower garden as Viola states that they can’t get near Doflamingo as long as Pica is there. Seeing the string spiral up into the sky, a shocked Law notes that the Birdcage has started and the others look at him. After reaching a point high above Dressrosa, the string begins to descend in an arc towards the outskirts of the city. Seeing the strings breaking through the rocks around the town, the pirate asks his captain what it is, only for the captain to decide to leave the country as soon as possible, as they will only be crushed if they stay. However, despite warnings from another of his crew, the captain stumbles upon one of the strings, which cuts open the top and bottom of his face. Wondering what these bars of string are, the pirates attempt to break through the cage with cannonballs, but the balls are only cut to pieces on contact.
Meanwhile, Luffy asks Law what the Birdcage is, prompting Law to reveal that Doflamingo plans to kill everyone on the island before the truth about Dressrose leaks out, shocking the others. Vice Admiral Bastille looks up at the Birdcage and wonders what it is when one of his subordinates informs him that he cannot reach Marine HQ on his Den Den Mushi. As another of Bastille’s subordinates confirms this news, Doflamingo smiles as several marines and civilians suddenly freeze. Something rushes towards Admiral Issh, but he catches it and opens his hand to reveal a string. Realizing what it is, Issho is interrupted by a nearby explosion as people run screaming from the burning house. When asked why he shot the house, the Marine frantically explains that he can’t control his body before shooting at the other Marines, causing another explosion. Another Marine tries to stop the fight, but freezes before drawing his sword and slashing at another Marine nearby, confusing him. As the man fires a gun into the crowd while tearfully telling them to back off, Doflamingo moves his fingers up and down before revealing that he is using Parasite.
While Bastille wonders what’s going on, the underling reveals that people are randomly hurting each other all over Dressros and that some marines are on a rampage as well. The underling declares that many citizens will die if nothing is done before they are interrupted by an explosion that alerts those present to the King’s Platform sinking into the ground. When Luffy asks him what’s going on, Law reveals that it’s Pica’s work and explains how he can change the geography by merging with the stone in the ground. Luffy turns and notices the royal palace moving and tells him to stop moving. Meanwhile, near the SMILE factory, the former toys are running away from the factory moving up, wondering what’s going on here. The flower field also begins to move upwards, causing the entire city to be drawn to it and hundreds of citizens falling to the ground below.
After the sorting has stopped, Doflamingo picks up the Den Den Mushi and begins to speak to the citizens and guests of Dressrosa, informing him of how he was able to rule with terror from the beginning as his image appears on the screens and cords around. Earth. Doflamingo acknowledges that many of them probably want to kill him now that they have discovered the truth, before revealing that he had set up a game for them to kill him. Stating that he’s in the palace and won’t leave, Doflamingo admits that the game will end if they kill him, before revealing that the game will also end if they kill all the people he’s about to name, giving each of them an award. big prize for killing. Declaring that it’s kill or be killed, Doflamingo declares that everyone in the country will become hunters as the only way to survive is to kill someone.
