Chapter 787 summary
Sabo intercepts Jesus Burgess to protect Luffy and introduces himself as a Revolutionary Army chief of staff and Luffy's brother. Sabo confirms he ate the Mera Mera no Mi and clashes with Burgess using fire attacks while Luffy, still weakened, urges the Colosseum fighters to buy time against Doflamingo. The Birdcage tears through Dressrosa and forces citizens toward the central district as Doflamingo hunts for Luffy. Zoro coats his sword with armament haki to push against the Birdcage while Fujitora and Kin'emon join the effort. Franky directs the Tontatta to shove the sea-stone Smile Factory forward as a barrier. Kyros leads Colosseum fighters to clear paths for civilians climbing the New Royal Plateau, where Donquixote Family members block entry. A broadcast declares the country needs a reset and places everyone on death row. People run for the plateau as the Birdcage nears the central district with three minutes left before mass slaughter.
