Chapter 780, "The Heart Curse," shows how Doflamingo and Trebol gunned down Law after he refused their bargain, then sends Luffy back to the rooftop to resume the fight as the Birdcage starts closing in.
A few minutes earlier, Trebol's sticky launcher flung Law to the roof's edge, and he and Doflamingo loomed over the gravely hurt Warlord. Doflamingo pitied everything Law had endured, escaping the doomed White City, meeting Corazon, spending thirteen years plotting his downfall, allying with Luffy, calling it all worthless. Pressing a gun to Law's chest, he offered a deal: perform the Perennial Youth Operation on him and any wish would be granted.
Law feigned agreement, then demanded Doflamingo resurrect Corazon and grovel before all of Dressrosa, laughing that the Straw Hats work miracles and raising his middle finger. Enraged, Doflamingo shot him eight times and swore the legacy of the Heart would end.
Luffy smashes up through the palace roof and presses Doflamingo hard, leaping over a Spider's Web to land Hawk Gatling, only to be wrapped in a mass of strings by Break White. Tearing free, Luffy steps in a pool of blood and finds Law motionless on the ground; Doflamingo declares him dead, stunning the boy. As the citizens notice the Birdcage shrinking, Luffy faintly hears Law's voice urging him to listen closely.
The cover continues the Jinbe story, the sea kitten's home returned to the ocean floor. The chapter confirms Doflamingo ended his battle with Law by shooting him repeatedly and that the Birdcage has begun to contract, setting the stage for Law's hidden gambit.
