Chapter 761

Order collapses across Dressrosa as Marines scramble against panicked beasts and looting crews, all without their absent admiral, Fujitora. Atop the palace, Luffy trades blows with a string clone of Doflamingo and a mind-controlled Bellamy, debuting a kicking technique while Law presses the warlord on how a disgraced noble still commands CP0 and government muscle. Doflamingo answers that he holds knowledge of a treasure hidden at Mary Geoise, leverage potent enough to force the nobles into handing him their authority. He then dwells on the true reach of Law's fruit, the power to grant endless life at the price of the user's own.

Law dismisses the immortality the fruit could grant, declaring that what he carries from Corazon is the means to end Doflamingo instead. His mind drifts back sixteen years to Spider Miles in the North Blue, where a furious child told Diamante and Trebol he had barely three years left to live and meant to wreck everything before then. He had recently signed on with the crew, one of the few young recruits who did not flee, alongside Baby 5 and Buffalo. Placed under Corazon, a fumbling yet gifted officer, the boy quickly discovered the man's loathing of children when Corazon flung him straight through a window.

The chapter establishes that Doflamingo's blackmail material, a national secret, is what underwrote his standing among the World Nobles. The Op-Op Fruit is confirmed able to purchase another's immortality only by spending its wielder's life. Corazon, Buffalo, and Baby 5 each appear as their younger selves for the first time, and the cover continues Jinbe's solo voyage as he reads of sea beasts ravaging a port. The story falls within the Dressrosa Arc.
