The chapter title page displays the large ONE PIECE logo with skull and crossbones. Below it reads CHAPTER 789: 'LUCY!'. The main illustration shows a man resembling Shanks in a black suit and fedora seated at an outdoor cafe table labeled 'LE COFFEE, BEER & SMILE COFFEE', smoking a cigarette while resting his chin on his hand. Across from him sits an anthropomorphic bulldog in a matching black suit and hat, also smoking a cigar and holding a coffee cup. The frontispiece request text states: "SHANKS RESTING OUT ON A CAFE'S TERRACE WITH A DOG." PEN NAME VASSU, CHIBA-PREFECTURE. EIICHIRO ODA is credited at the bottom.

The massive Bird Cage grinds forward relentlessly. "IT STOPPED ONCE, BUT..." a narrator notes as the deadly wires slice deeper into the city. "DON'T LET UP! MOOOOORE!" voices urge from the crowd. "THE FINAL MINUTE OF FATE BEGINS NOW!" screams another. "AT THIS RATE, THE CENTRAL DISTRICT'S MERE INCHES FROM BEING MADE INTO MINCEMEAT!" The structure creaks ominously. In the next panels, a desperate voice yells "HURRY, TANK!" as the royal plateau begins to crumble. "EVEN THE ROYAL PLATEAU'S STARTED GETTING CARVED UP!" Commander Tank, a massive bearded man in chains, roars in fury. "AND COMMANDER TANK!I" someone shouts. "KING RIKU!I WHAT!I" Tank demands as debris rains down around them.

A massive figure strains against the Bird Cage wires. "HAD YOU NOT BEEN HERE, THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY THOUSANDS... HOW MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES WE'D HAVE LOST BY NOW," the giant says. "I'M IN EVERYONE'S DEBT... FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE." A small laugh escapes someone nearby: "HEHE!" Below, fighters rally with cries of "YES SIR!" "MORE! ALL YOU'VE GOT!" "YES SIR!" and "PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT! ARE YOU GONNA LET THIS BIRD CAGE PUSH YOU AROUND!I SHOVE!" The crowd pushes desperately. In the wide view of the collapsing city, a voice bellows "PUSH THIS DAMN BIRD CAGE BACK!" as the structure grinds forward amid screams and falling rubble: "RAAARG GGGHHH!"

Viola stands bloodied and exhausted, sweat and wounds marking her face. "VIOLA-SAN! PLEASE, YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH!" Rebecca cries out. A powerful strike lands as Doflamingo's silhouette looms. "JUST BECAUSE YOU SPENT A DECADE WITH ME AS PART OF MY FAMILY," he says coldly, "10 YEARS..." The impact sends Viola flying. "HAH!" he laughs. In close-up, Doflamingo grips her chin. "MY SWEET VIOLET... THAT I'D FALTER WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO KILL YOU!I DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK I'D HESITATEI" Rebecca watches in horror. "I DO NOT CHIDE MY ALLIES AND UNDERLINGS WHEN THEY FAIL," Viola retorts defiantly. "JERK," Doflamingo sneers.

Rebecca charges forward with sword drawn, tears in her eyes. "I DO NOT LOOK KINDLY UPON BETRAYAL," Doflamingo declares as he looms over the wounded Viola. "HOWEVER..." he adds with a cruel smile. "KILL HER!" he orders. "DON'T DRAG REBECCA INTO THIS!" Viola pleads. "STOP IT!" Rebecca shouts. "VIOLA-SAN... MY BODY... I CAN'T..." Viola gasps, her limbs betraying her. Rebecca screams "VIOLA-SAN! WHY CAN'T...I STOP!I" as her body moves against her will. "NO, STOP! WHAT AM... I DOING!I" she cries in anguish while the Bird Cage continues its deadly advance in the background.

The massive Birdcage continues its deadly advance toward the Central District as panicked citizens and fighters watch from above. Tontatta, Franky, Kanjuro, Kin'emon, Zoro, Fujitora, Bartolomeo and crowds of citizens stare in horror. "IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HITS THE CENTRAL DISTRICT!" "BIRD CAGE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!" "WE CAN'T! IT'S ALREADY FULL OF PEOPLE!" "GO DEEPER INTO THE CITY!" Explosions and debris fill the streets as people flee. A fierce warrior with a long mustache roars "WOOO AAARR RGGGH HHH!" while urging others forward: "KEEP GOING, BOYS!" The ground shakes violently with impact lines and "Z Z Z" effects. In the chaos someone yells "WHERE'D SHE GO!I" Another replies "WAIT A MINUTE... REBECCA!" A figure is sent flying with a desperate "RAAAA AAAGH!" as the scene erupts in panic.

A determined fighter with a scar shouts "STOP THE CAGE!" while a blond man smirks nearby. In the distance a small figure on a high perch calls "HERE. RIGHT!" A large man with a mustache desperately inhales with "INHALE GACHI" as swirling energy and flowers erupt around a tiny person. Voices cry "SO THAT YOU MAY BE SAFE... SO THAT AS MANY OF YOU MAY BE SAFE AS POSSIBLE!" The Birdcage grinds forward with massive "Z Z Z Z" sound effects and "CRACK CRACK" as the structure strains. A voice urges "JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!!" while the crowd below screams in terror. The enormous cage towers over the ruined city as people react with shock.

Shock spreads through the crowd as voices cry "AH!" "OUR STAR WILL RISE AGAIN!" "HAA- HAA-" "WHOSE VOICE IS THAT!I" "WHAT!I" People look around in confusion. The announcer Gatz appears in the middle of the destruction, declaring "EVERYONE! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN!I" "YOU'RE THE... ANNOUNCER FROM THE COLOSSEUM! GATZ!" Gatz points dramatically: "THE MAN WHO APPEARED, RADIANT, IN TODAY'S TOURNAMENT! OUR GALLANT, DARING STAR!" He continues "YOU AREN'T EVEN KING RIKU!" "THIS WHOLE COUNTRY'S ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND YOU'RE ON YOUR SOAPBOX!" A furious spectator yells "...NO, I DOUBT ANY OF YOU COULD ACTUALLY FORGET. SOMEONE SHUT HIM UP! THIS AIN'T THE TIME OR THE PLACE!"

A blonde woman in a hat screams "GAR LAW! HE'S NOT HERE! WHERE'D HE RUN OFF TO!I" while others wonder "ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ME!I" "STAR"...COULD THEY BE..." "I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN!" The crowd recalls the mysterious gladiator's feats: "HE BROUGHT DOWN A GIANT TALL ENOUGH TO TOUCH THE CLOUDS!" "HE TAMED THAT TERRIFYING, MURDEROUS BULL!" "HE SHATTERED DON CHINJAO, THE LIVING LEGEND!" Gatz's voice echoes "IN THE HEARTS OF ALL THOSE IN THE COLOSSEUM... NO, IN THIS COUNTRY, HE LIT A FIRE OF PASSION! THAT SMALL GLADIATOR!" The people stare in awe at the distant Birdcage as the memory of Lucy burns bright.

The excited crowd in the stands shouts about the fighter they just saw. "WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN..." "I SAW HIM FROM THE STANDS!" "I SAW HIM! ON THE MONITORS!" "NEVER SEEN A MAN FIGHT AS FREE AND CAPTIVATINGLY AS HE!" A massive close-up reveals the announcer's face as he bellows "HIS NAME IS!" while a woman with a braid yells "LUCY!" The crowd erupts: "OH YEAH!" "BUT WHO CARES!I WHAT'S HE GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING!I" In the lower panels, Viola cries out desperately, tears streaming, "SAVE ME, LUCY!" while a cloaked figure stands over her with a sword, thinking "NO... I DON'T WANT TO... KILL VIOLA-SAN!" as the name "LUCY!" echoes across the arena.

Explosions rock the city as the crowd reacts in shock. "STRAW HAT LUFFY!" A massive impact SFX "ドゴォォォォン!!" shakes the buildings. The announcer continues, "IN TRUTH, LUCY IS ALSO KNOWN BY ANOTHER NAME!" The crowd questions their faith: "MAY HAVE TROUBLE PLACING OUR FAITH IN ONE! BUT..." "WE, WHO WERE DECEIVED BY AND RULED OVER FOR SO MANY YEARS BY A PIRATE," while a helmeted figure pushes forward. The true identity is revealed: "THE PERSON UNDER LUCY'S MASK WAS..." The announcer declares, "DRESSROSA! KNOW THIS AND QUAKE WITH HAPPINESS! RIGHT NOW, THIS MAN, WOUNDED IN BATTLE, LIES ON THE GROUND, BUT... THE TRUE KING, LORD RIKU HIMSELF, HAS DECLARED THIS MAN OUR HOPE!" Lucy has promised, "LUCY HAS PROMISED US THE FOLLOWING!" as the crowd stares in disbelief.

The crowd roars "WHOOO OOOAA AAA!!" as massive explosions erupt with SFX "カチカチカチ" and "バキバキバキ!!" The announcer shouts, "IN A SINGLE BLOW! HE WILL K.O. DOFLAMINGO..." Voices cry "LUCY!" "NO WAY!" "IF YOU DON'T, LUFFY... WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD OUT FOR MUCH LONGER!" A cloaked figure laughs "HIHOHO! HE'S GOT A MOUTH ON HIM, THAT ONE!" with SFX "ザキザキ!! ゴォォ!!" Gatz glares, declaring "DRESSROSA SHALL BE... YOU FALSE RULER!" as the announcer calls out "CAN YOU HEAR ME, DOFLAMINGO!I YOU, WHO MANIPULATED OUR KING! YOU, WHO DECEIVED THE WORLD!" with SFX "オォオオオ" and "バチバチオオ".

IF YOU'RE GONNA COME FOR ME, THEN COME! STEP AWAY FROM MISS VIOLA AND REBECCA!" A ten-second countdown begins with SFX "カチカチカチ" as the announcer yells "10 SECONDS!" and "LUCY... SHALL RISE AGAIN!" Below, Hajrudin appears amid chaos, the crowd screaming "WAAAAH!" "HAJRUDIN!I" with SFX "ドゴォン" and "ガシャン" as debris flies and a figure reacts "UUGH!" "!!I" "WHAT!I"

The time limit has been reached as the massive Birdcage tightens around Dressrosa. A desperate voice cries, "IDEO!" while another shouts, "DAGA-MA!" and "THIS IS..." The wounded that recovered out of the blue earlier are collapsing again. "WAAAAAH!" someone screams as the crowd panics. "EIGHT SECONDS!" a fighter yells amid the chaos. Rebecca, tears streaming, pleads, "NO... YOU'RE WRONG! PRINCESS, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR YOUR DANDEHEALTONS, THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DIED TO BIRD CAGE BY NOW!" She continues, "I SHOWED YOU HOPE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, BUT THEN... I'VE STOLEN IT AWAY! HOW CRUEL!" A voice replies, "YOU HAVE WORKED A MIRACLE! IT'S ENOUGH THAT YOUR POWER'S HAVE TAKEN US THIS FAR! LUFFYLAND WILL HANDLE THE REST!" Another figure sobs, "I'M SO SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! THE PEOPLE WHO FIRST RECEIVED THE POWERS OF THE DANDEHEALTON HAVE REACHED THEIR TIME LIMIT! ITS POWER WON'T WORK ON THEM AGAIN! IT'S ALL BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH!"

The desperate crowd shouts, "WE'VE GOTTA HOLD OUT!" and "GET MORE HELPERS!" "EXCHANGE PLACES WITH THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN!" A massive voice declares, "I KNOW HE WILL GET RID OF THIS CAGE FOR US!" The countdown continues relentlessly: "SIX!" "FIVE!" "FOUR!" amid the collapsing ruins and Birdcage wires. "UNTIL LUCY DESTROYS THIS BIRD CAGE FOR GOOD!" fighters chant. Hands rise with three fingers as voices scream, "3 SECONDS!!!" The crowd erupts in unison, "LUCY! LUCY! LUCY!" One fighter yells, "HE IS LISTENING, SOMEWHERE! CALL OUT OUR STAR'S NAME!"

The frenzied crowd continues chanting "LUCY!" as the final seconds tick down. "GATZ-SAN!" someone cries amid the rubble. A determined fighter growls, "THIS FARCE ENDS NOW..." The countdown reaches its climax: "TWO!" "ONE!" Fingers point skyward as the entire arena erupts. With a thunderous impact, "ZERO!" echoes across the devastated landscape. The Birdcage shudders violently as massive debris flies and the ground cracks under the strain. The crowd roars with renewed hope, fists raised, while the central figure in the straw hat braces for the decisive moment.

A grim voice declares, "SINK WITH JUST ONE OF OUR STAR, LUCY'S... DIE, DOFLAMINGO!" Doflamingo's silhouette looms as the Birdcage grinds forward. Rebecca weeps, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT ANYTHING! THIS IS ALL JUST A NIGHTMARE!" Viola urges, "CLOSE YOUR EYES, REBECCA!" while another calls, "VIOLA-SAN! PLEASE, WEATHER THIS!" Attacks rain down in the background. A bloodied figure begs, "FORGIVE ME, REBECCA!" as a massive hand reaches out. Rebecca screams, "NOOOOOO!" Another voice cries, "I WON'T HATE OR HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU! JUST FORGET ALL THIS! NONE OF IT IS YOUR FAULT!" and "I AM GOING TO LEAVE A DEEP WOUND IN YOUR HEART!"

Luffy dramatically appears in the arena as Lucy, his face twisted in a fierce roar with tears streaming down as he yells "LUUUU LUCY YYYYY!". Opponents and spectators react in shock with cries of "HE APPEARS!", "GO.", and frantic "わあああ" sounds. A massive impact erupts as Luffy clashes violently, sending debris flying with a loud "CLANG" and "!!I". An enemy screams "FUNGA AAAH!" amid the chaos.
