Chapter 776

At the factory gate, a collapsing Franky urges the dwarves to raze the building and leaves the rest to Luffy. In the flower field, Diamante boasts that he has eclipsed Kyros to become the true hero of the colosseum, dodges the gladiator's charge with his fruit, and watches Kyros buckle from exhaustion. Kyros snaps that he wants no handicap, that he surrendered his leg to the king who gave him everything.

Diamante then conjures confetti, hardens it into spiked steel balls, and rains them across the field. Robin spreads a canopy of flower petals over herself and Rebecca, while Kyros deflects every ball with his blade, declaring his army would never crumble to such a tactic.

Cornered, Diamante shoots Kyros in the leg to drop him into the barrage, but the gladiator forces himself upright, telling Rebecca her hands remain clean and that her mother Scarlett lives on in them. He insists his pain is the proof of a humanity Diamante can never grasp, his body embodying all of Dressrosa's rage. As Diamante readies the same half-moon strike that killed Scarlett, Kyros counters with Trueno Bastard, shattering the executive's sword and cutting him down.

The cover continues the Jinbe side story about the sea beasts' misunderstandings. The chapter confirms that Kyros felled Diamante at the cost of heavy wounds and that the dwarves have begun tearing down the SMILE factory after Franky's victory.
