Chapter 795

Over on Dressrosa, a lone pip on Issho's die settles that the Marines will leave Luffy and Law be, even though he had pledged otherwise to Sakazuki. Maynard objects that the two have just been located and that honoring the vow would be ideal in this moment, but Issho replies that bickering once the dice come to rest is a disgrace. Inside the Royal Palace, gladiators and townsfolk recuperate, one of them wondering aloud where Lucy has gone and longing to offer thanks. Rebecca hurries out to alert Riku that the Straw Hats and Kyros are gone from the building, yet Riku reasons they left together and will likely return the following day, then floors her by asking if she would take up the role of princess should he reclaim the crown.

A day after threading past Big Mom's fleet, the Thousand Sunny ties up at Zou. Caesar Clown would rather hide aboard, but Sanji wields his heart as leverage and Chopper hounds him onward, since a girl ashore can still be rescued. Crossing the treacherous footing, Nami stumbles onto Brook, and the two along with Momonosuke run into a pair of mounted pirates fronted by Sheepshead, hunters after a samurai, just as an Eruption Rain alarm rings out. Floodwater erupts from a mountainous shape and sweeps the trio off, prompting Nami to drag the two Devil Fruit users to a floating log. Sheepshead lunges with ram horns sprouting from his hands, only for Sanji's Diable Jambe to fell him. His partner Ginrummy retreats and orders word sent back that the samurai is nowhere here.

Far off, where the Kid Pirates have made their base, a staggering collision punches a person-shaped pit into the dirt, sinks one of Kid's ships, and bewilders the three crews gathered there. Basil Hawkins recalls rumors of sky islands overhead. Moments before, Urouge had allowed his visitor to leap, a man chased, captured, and tormented again and again who simply sought a place to perish and whom no one, not even he himself, could slay.

Climbing from the crater and damning the fact that he yet lives, the figure proves to be Kaidou, roaring for Doflamingo to brace himself, since with the warlord's backing he means to spark the fiercest war the world has ever witnessed. This is Kaidou's first appearance, confirming him as the man Urouge encountered two chapters prior, the one who dropped from the Ballon Terminal sky island and walked away unhurt. The Sunny group also returns to the page for the first time in over sixty chapters, last appearing back in Chapter 730, and this is Sanji's final on-page moment outside flashbacks until Chapter 824.
