Titled "The Birdcage," this chapter exposes the decapitated Doflamingo as a string puppet and unleashes a colossal cage of thread that seals Dressrosa into a lethal survival game.
Summary
At the palace the headless Doflamingo Kyros struck down turns out to be a marionette controlled by the genuine warlord, who nearly kills Kyros before Luffy intervenes. A brief clash follows: Doflamingo shrugs off Luffy's Jet Gatling with Armament Haki, the puppet slices him with strings, and a Haki fist drops the pirate. Doflamingo then reminds King Riku of the night he was forced to slaughter his own subjects, vowing the coming horror will dwarf it. Pica hurls Luffy's group from the palace, and they survive by landing on Luffy's inflated body.
Key Events
The SMILE Factory is revealed to be built of seastone and guarded by Diamante and Trebol against the ex-toys, while Robin and Usopp link up with Sabo's party. The string puppet unravels into a vast cage that envelops the island, severing all communication and slicing anyone who tries to flee. Pica rearranges the terrain, lifting the palace, the factory, and Flower Hill above the ground, and citizens fall under Doflamingo's Parasite control to attack one another. Law warns that the warlord means to butcher everyone before his crimes spread, as Doflamingo broadcasts his ultimatum to kill his targets or die.

Notes
The survival game ends only when someone takes Doflamingo's head or delivers the heads he names. Kin'emon slips out of the palace still wearing his disguise, and Zoro continues to wander, lost on the garden rooftop while hunting Pica. The color spread shows the Straw Hats doing laundry aboard the Sunny among monkeys.
