The chapter title page displays the One Piece logo and reads CHAPTER 749 - "ONWARD, ARMY OF ROGUES!!". Below, a large illustration shows Monkey D. Luffy grinning widely in the center, flashing a middle finger, flanked by Sabo on his right with a wide grin and a figure in a top hat and goggles on his left also grinning. Below them looms a large, stern-faced man with a bubble pipe, identified in the caption as "DADAN DREAMING OF SABO AND FRIENDS". A credit reads "FROM PEN-NAME "MARU X KAZU", MIYAGI-KEN" and the author's name "尾田栄一郎" appears prominently.

Panic erupts as soldiers shout "PICA-SAMA!!" while a massive stone structure collapses. A voice cries "AHHH-HH...!!!" as the narration states "THE REPAYMENT ARMY IS GOING ALL OUT!!". Pica's enormous stone body crashes through the city with the sound effect "ガラ ガラ...". Luffy reacts in shock with "AHH-HHHI!". Pica roars "THERE IS NOTHING MY DRILL-HEAD CANNOT REND!!!" and glares at Luffy, calling him "YOU BIG BLOCKHEAD."
02
Explosions rock the battlefield with "ドゴッ" and "オオオ". A voice yells "LOOK OUT!!". Fighters clash as someone shouts "THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE PALACE!!!" and another warns "HEY!! DON'T LET 'EM THROUGH...!!!". A massive impact hits with "ビンビンッ!!!". Someone screams "AAAHHH! THAT'S!!" while another exclaims "IT'S IDEO THE FIGHTING KING!!!". A fighter growls "BRING SOME PEOPLE WORTH FIGHTING NEXT TIME!" as a close-up shows a determined man with a scar and the sound "上陸!!".

Cavendish attacks with flair, shouting "IT'S CAVENDISH!!!" and unleashing "BLADE OF BEAUTY! 'SWAN LAKE'!!!" with the sound "ビュン". A massive explosion erupts as Pica yells "AAGHH-HHH!!!" and fires "HAKAI-HOU!!!!!" labeled "DESTRUCTION CANNON". Someone demands "WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS ARMYI!" while another bellows "COM-MODORE HUG!!!". The assault continues with "COM-MODORE ORLUM-BUS!!!" and cries of "GUEHH!!" and "AHH!!" amid the chaos.
04
A massive stone giant rampages through the city, smashing buildings as debris flies everywhere. A horned fighter yells, "IF WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, WE'LL NEVER REACH THE PALACE!" while another voice notes, "THIS IS QUITE AN IRRITATING OBSTRUCTION.....!!!" The giant's enormous fist swings down with a huge "ズドドドーン" impact. A spiky-haired man shouts, "HEADS UP!! HE'S GONNA LET LOOSE ANOTHER PUNCH!!!" A blonde fighter with a sword retorts, "DON'T BOTHER, YOU TWO!! THE ARM YOU DESTROYED WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL SOON ENOUGH!!...IT'S JUST A WASTE OF YOUR STRENGTH!" Below, a helmeted warrior and a young woman with a cap cry out, "WHERE DID STRAW HAT GOI!" and "I DON'T SEE HIS BULL, EITHER!! DID THEY GET CRUSHED TO DEATHI!" as smaller figures flee, one yelling "RUN FOR IT!!!"

From above the ruined city, voices panic: "HAS HE GONE COMPLETELY MADI!!!" and "HE'S UP THERE.....!!!" A massive bull named Ucy charges upward with Luffy riding it, the crowd reacting in shock. "HE'S CLIMBING UP!!!" someone screams as another lets out a long "EHHH-HHHHI!" Ucy bellows "MOOOO-OOOOOO!!!" while supporters cheer, "GO FOR IT, UCY!!! IT'S A SHORT-CUT!!!" and "YEAH!! YOU GO FOR IT, BULL!!" amid the chaos of falling rubble and frantic bystanders.

Two new fighters appear on the giant bull. One introduces himself: "AH, I HAVEN'T INTRODUCED MYSELF PROPERLY YET. MY NAME IS JEET. AND THE LARGE FELLOW BEHIND ME IS.....I" His companion replies, "I'M ABDUL-LAH." An irritated voice snaps, "NOBODY ASKED!!" and "WHAT ARE YOU TWO CHEERING FORI!!" Another shouts, "HEY!! GET OFF ALREADY!! YOU'RE WEIGHING UCY DOWN!!" Luffy, clinging to the side, reacts with wide eyes as "STRAW HAT.....!!!" echoes and the bull continues its climb past the stone giant's massive form.

The stone giant Pica unleashes a devastating punch as onlookers scream "WHOAA-AAAAA!!" and "PICA-SAMAI! HE WENT AND DID IT!!" Luffy stretches his arm back and roars "GOMU GOMU NO.....!!!" before delivering a massive "GRIZZLY MAGNUM!!!!" that collides with the giant's fist in a huge explosion of debris and impact lines. Pica's face twists in surprise with a "HMI!" as the shockwave ripples outward.
08
The fighters stand on a massive stone surface. "AND THE PLACE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT NOW IS JUST ROCK, TOO!! LIKE A STATUE!!" someone exclaims as the ground cracks. A spiky-haired swordsman shouts, "LUFFY, IT LOOKS LIKE HIS HEAD UP THERE IS JUST A PIECE OF ROCK!!" Luffy in his straw hat leaps across the crumbling terrain. The massive stone figure's real body is revealed elsewhere: "HIS REAL BODY IS OVER THERE!!!" Explosions and debris fly as the rocky colossus shifts. Finally, the spiky-haired swordsman grins fiercely at the emerging human face within the stone, declaring, "FINALLY, YOU SHOW YOUR REAL HUMAN FACE."
09
The massive bull-like fighter charges forward. "AHHHH!!! HE PULLED OUT A GIANT SWORD!! DODGE!!!" a voice screams as the armored rider swings a huge blade. The bull barrels ahead with heavy hoofbeats. "IT'S TOO LATE!!!" "MOO-OOO!!" the bull roars. "IF YOU CAN'T DODGE THEN STOP!! BULL!!!" The rider is knocked back violently. In the chaos the bull suddenly pauses, letting out a confused "MOOI" as the fighters tumble through the air amid impact lines and debris.

The bull leaps high into the air. "THE BULL JUMPED!" "EHH-HHI!" the armored fighter yelps. A young boy shouts, "I'M GOING ON AHEAD!" while another yells, "HERE HE COMES AGAIN!" The spiky-haired swordsman plants his feet and calls out, "RIGHT!! LEAVE THIS TO ME!!!" A massive impact erupts with the sound effect "ギャキィン" as the swordsman clashes with the bull. "WHOOOOOAAAHHH!!! HE'S AMAZING!!!" the crowd roars as the fighters are sent flying amid shattering stone and swirling dust.
11
The spiky-haired swordsman lunges forward. "MOVE ASIDE. I HAVE BUSINESS WITH STRAW HAT!!" he growls. An enemy retorts, "THAT'S A CREW-MATE OF OUR GOD FOR YA....!!" The swordsman snaps back, "YOU BIG SOPRA-NO....!" A calm voice answers, "YEAHI WELL, OUR CAPTAIN DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS WITH A ROCK LIKE YOU." Elsewhere, a figure observes, "AT ANY RATE, IF IT ISN'T GOING TO BE LAUNCHING ANY MORE IRRITATING PUNCHES......THEN THIS IS OUR CHANCE!!!" The giant stone monster lies still. "IS IT DEADI!" someone asks. "...HEY, THE GIANT MONSTER STOPPED MOVING..."
12
Amid the chaos of the collapsing city, fighters scramble to intercept their target. "WE CAN'T LET HIM GET TO DOFLAMINGO BEFORE WE DO!!!" one shouts. Another yells, "WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT UP THE PLATEAU TO THE PALACE NOW!!!" while a voice warns, "STRAW HAT IS TRAVELLING ALONG THE BACK OF THAT STATUE!!!" In a quieter moment, a figure muses, "HMI SAY, MISTER STRAW HAT......I KNOW THIS IS OUR ONLY OPTION NOW IF WE WANT TO GET TO LIVE." Nearby allies urge, "GO FOR IT, UCY!!" and "YEAH! GO FOR IT, BULL!" as someone snaps, "SERIOUSLY, GUYS, GET OFF!!" A determined voice declares, "I FAILED ONCE ALREADY, BUT THIS TIME I'LL GET HIM FOR SURE!!! I WANT TO GET BACK AT HIM IN PERSON!!!" The speaker continues, "THE PLAN I SUGGESTED TO YOU WAS MY WAY OF TRYING TO TAKE OUT DOFLAMINGO INDIRECTLY...!...I'M PREPARED TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES...!!" Luffy reacts with wide eyes, "BUT IF I'M HONEST..."

The scarred man in the spotted hat reveals his past with raw emotion. "...WAS MURDERED BY DOFLAMINGO...!!!" he states as flashbacks erupt. "...!!! THIRTEEN YEARS AGO, A MAN I DEARLY CARED FOR..." Luffy listens in shock. The man continues, "...MY VERY LIFE. THAT'S RIGHT. I OWED HIM..." He explains, "HUHI! ONE OF HIS CREWI! A FORMER CHIEF OFFICER OF THE DONQUIXOTE FAMILY... HIS NAME WAS CORAZON." With intense eyes, the man concludes, "...OWN LITTLE BROTHER!! AND HE WAS DOFLAMINGO'S..." The narration box reads, "WHAT LIES HIDDEN IN THEIR PAST...I!"
