In the chapter My Battle, Law steps in to shield Luffy in Gatz's place while all of Dressrosa bands together to drag on the Birdcage. Healing dandelions revive the wounded, and the joint effort briefly stops the cage dead with one minute left before Luffy is ready.
Just three minutes are left before the cage closes on the central street. Fearing Luffy will fail to get his Haki back before then, the Corrida Colosseum gladiators charge Doflamingo, who restates the old promise that he will free them if they capture Luffy and then runs several of them through with his awakened strings. Among Gatz's group, the others warn him that the cage will begin slaughtering people before Luffy is back on his feet, but Gatz flatly refuses to push him out while he is in no shape to fight. Suddenly a giant ROOM blooms out of the palace plateau, and Law drops down into their midst, asking how soon Luffy will regain his Haki. Once Gatz answers, Law tells him that he will take over the job of keeping Luffy safe from here on.
Over in Sebio, Bartolomeo raises a barrier directly ahead of the advancing cage so that the gladiators who first helped Luffy can lean on it and aid Zoro in slowing the thing down. Robin and Leo pitch in too, talking about the Teardelions, fruits that sprouted from Mansherry's tears and drift through the air, healing anyone they brush against on contact. Leo points out a catch: the boost they grant is temporary, and the healed will eventually slip back to their original condition. Riding on Kabu, Mansherry keeps releasing more tears so still more injured citizens recover enough to run. Atop a ruined building, Usopp turns up alongside Hack before a startled crowd, and he shouts at everyone with strength left to head for the eastern and western streets and help force the cage back.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...
Rebecca slips off after Doflamingo, hoping to bring him down and stop the cage, only to discover Viola already standing against the Warlord. Viola orders her niece not to chase him, saying that if Rebecca died she could never again look Kyros and Scarlett in the eye, then tells Doflamingo it would be shameful for her, once one of his own, to do nothing. Over by the SMILE Factory, Franky leads the dwarves in shoving with everything they have, while close at hand Zoro stands with Kin'emon and Kanjuro, pressing their Haki-coated blades into the cage. Issho then walks up behind Zoro and joins the effort, more Marines and citizens add their weight, and for one instant the Birdcage stops completely before grinding forward again, leaving just one minute until Luffy is restored.
In Chapter 788, Trafalgar Law takes over protecting the recovering Luffy from Gatz, while citizens and Straw Hat allies across Dressrosa join forces to push back the Birdcage, briefly stopping it with one minute left before Luffy's Haki returns.
In Chapter 788, Trafalgar Law drops into the group protecting Luffy and tells Gatz that he will take over the job of keeping Luffy safe.
The Teardelions are fruits that sprouted from Mansherry's tears in Chapter 788. They drift through the air and heal anyone they touch, though the effect is only temporary.
Viola tells her niece Rebecca not to chase Doflamingo because if Rebecca died, Viola could never face Kyros and Scarlett again, so she chooses to stand against the Warlord herself instead.
Yes, in Chapter 788 the combined effort of Zoro, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Issho, Marines, and citizens briefly halts the Birdcage entirely before it grinds forward again, leaving one minute until Luffy is restored.
