## One Piece Chapter 781, pages 6-7: Long-Cherished Desire - Chapter: 781 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Donquixote Doflamingo, Monkey D. Luffy, Rebecca, Roronoa Zoro, Nico Robin, Usopp, King Riku group, Dressrosa citizens, Trafalgar Law, Bartolomeo ### Summary Page 6: Doflamingo explains the Birdcage: "You see, the 'Birdcage' that's surrounding the town right now... is, little by little, shrinking and contracting." He says to think of it as someone slowly closing an umbrella, and then, before they know it, the entire country will be filtered. Luffy reacts in shock, and Doflamingo estimates, "Let's see... I'd give it about an hour." Across the city, Rebecca and the others worry about Traffy being beaten and the cage shrinking, while citizens cry for help, beg someone to untie their legs, and are told the weaker citizens have already been evacuated to the country's edges. Page 7: The people watching the palace understand that all lives in the country now rest on Luffy's shoulders. Someone says, "That's our only way out!!!" and others shout, "Beat the living crap out of Doflamingo...!!!" and "Luffy!! Hurry!!" Doflamingo mocks that nobody wants to come save Luffy after he let the people who know the country's secret live: "After all, what merit is there... in letting the people who know this country's secret live...?" He threatens everything Luffy cares about: "The town, its people, its animals...!! Even your comrades!! Your everything!!!"
