Sanji battles hard but loses to Doflamingo, only for Law to whisk him away with Shambles. Ordered toward Zou with Caesar secured, the split Straw Hats flee a Marine warship and Doflamingo's whips as Law ends the alliance on the bridge to settle a thirteen-year grudge.
Sanji leads with Diable Jambe, which Doflamingo dodges with ease while confirming he faces Black Leg Sanji. He evades Premiere Hachi as well, then connects with his Goshikito strike and pivots toward the Thousand Sunny, alarming the watching crew. Sanji's Poele a Frire: Spectre is parried but conceded to be potent, after which Doflamingo seizes hold of his body. As Giolla jeers at the doom of those who challenge her master without knowing his power, Nami screams for Sanji to run. A whip readies for the Overheat technique, yet Sanji tells Nami to fire the Coup de Burst and flee without him.
From the shoreline, Law hurls a log using Shambles after sealing himself, Caesar, Doflamingo, and Sanji inside a Room, swapping with the log and yanking everyone out of harm's way. With no chance to halt his swing, Doflamingo unleashes Overheat so violently that the strike travels clear to Dressrosa, splitting a building and bewildering the locals. Law, Caesar, and Sanji slam down onto the deck, where a horrified Caesar begs Giolla for aid she is in no position to offer. Law explains that the heart he carries is his own, since Caesar's has been stowed within his chest cavity.
Law tells everyone to bring Caesar along and set out for Zou at once, reminding them of the Vivre Card he handed over earlier. Nami balks at abandoning Luffy, but a Marine battleship soars over Green Bit as Doflamingo bears down from the opposite flank. When the cannons open up, meteors come crashing down on the Sunny, and Law uses Tact to steer one into the warship's hull. On the deck of that vessel, Fujitora coolly attributes the hit to his own miscalculation in failing to account for Law, then orders a return to Dressrosa. Law's blade Kikoku snares Doflamingo's renewed Overheat, and he warns Sanji to locate a cloudless spot and hold there, since the Ito Ito no Mi reaches through clouds. With Law's sword pressed to Giolla's neck, the Coup de Burst fires and the ship breaks away.
On the iron span linking the two islands, Doflamingo asks why Law freed only part of the crew, but Law cautions that taking hostages would simply add him to the long list of those who regret underrating them. Law declares the alliance dissolved, noting it had served only to stop SMILE production, and that even his own death would still leave a wrecked factory and Doflamingo facing Kaido's fury. Impressed by the design, Doflamingo hears Law admit that avenging the events of thirteen years ago comes before all else.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

Sanji clashes directly with Doflamingo in episode 655 of One Piece, "A Big Clash! Sanji vs. Doflamingo".

Law seals himself, Caesar, Doflamingo, and Sanji inside a Room, then uses Shambles to swap everyone out with a thrown log just before Doflamingo's Overheat strike lands, saving the group.
Law tells Doflamingo the alliance only ever existed to stop SMILE production, and that even his own death would leave Doflamingo facing a wrecked factory and Kaido's fury, revealing that avenging events from thirteen years earlier matters more to him than anything else.
Law warns Sanji to stay in a cloudless area because Doflamingo's Ito Ito no Mi power can reach through clouds, making open sky dangerous while Doflamingo is near.
