Chapter 758: Just Keep Going

Leaving the revived Diamante to Kyros, Luffy pauses to give Rebecca his true name and to promise that he will bring Doflamingo down. When Diamante stretches his blade to strike, Law skips the fight entirely: Room and Shambles carve an opening through the palace's outer wall and drop both men into the inner gardens. The teleport strains him badly, for the lead rounds Doflamingo fired still sit inside his body. A watching servant sprints the news to Sugar, who aches to avenge the thousands of curses undone and schemes to touch the pair so that memory of them vanishes from everyone.

Far off on the Royal Plateau, Usopp understands the danger and refuses to lose his captain the way he once forgot Robin. Leaning on Viola's foresight and a specially made round that Kanjuro helped prepare, he lines up an impossible shot at a target hidden deep within the palace walls. As the bounty-hungry mob closes in on him and his companions, the auras of Luffy, Law, and Sugar suddenly become visible to his eye, and he looses the shot an instant before he is seized.

The projectile carries a rendering of Usopp's own terrifying grimace, the very look that had felled Sugar the first time, and it knocks her out again before dissolving into the wall as a drawing. Viola then congratulates a bound and battered Usopp, confirming the route is clear. Climbing the last stretch, Luffy and Law finally confront Doflamingo alongside Trebol, an unconscious Bellamy lying at their feet. Asked why they have come, both pirates answer plainly that they intend to beat him, and Doflamingo feigns dismay, claiming he had hoped for a warmer welcome.

Usopp's Observation Haki emerges for the first time in this chapter, and he defeats Sugar again by mirroring his earlier method. Four of the group, Riku Doldo III, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Usopp, are tied up by the Dressrosa townsfolk. To stretch the shot's reach, Usopp allows for a faint tailwind, loads two gunpowder boosters, and rigs the outer wrappings to shed in flight, aware that even a near miss would still wound Sugar's mind. The cover advances the Jinbe solo-voyage serial, in which the fish-man and the sea kitten discover a capsized ship. The chapter falls within the Dressrosa Arc.
