## One Piece Chapter 724, pages 16-17: Law's Strategy - Chapter: 724 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Donquixote Doflamingo, Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Nami, Brook, Tony Tony Chopper, Momonosuke, Kaidou ### Summary Page 16: Doflamingo watches the Sunny vanish toward clearer sky and asks, "So what exactly was the point... of helping half of the Strawhat crew escape...?" Law answers from the bridge: "When the other half is in Dressrosa...!! I'll just take them hostage and force the others to return Caesar to me." He adds, "If you try that... well, there are far too many... who underestimated this crew and were burned for it, isn't that right?" The Sunny crew, now separated from him, looks stunned as Law says, "It's unfortunate, but my pirate alliance with the Strawhat crew ends here!" Luffy, elsewhere, reacts with a shocked "Ah!?" The alliance that was supposed to continue through Dressrosa is being severed by Law's own hand. Page 17: Law finally states what has truly driven him. While Doflamingo says, "Although I'd love to see the ensuing chaos that your death brings to the world..." Law remembers the deeper wound: after joining Doflamingo, using him to stop the production of "SMILE"s was Law's only aim. Even if Law fails to take revenge directly in this battle, Doflamingo will have lost his Smile supply, and Kaidou will eliminate him. Law tells Joker that setting matters right from thirteen years ago is far more important than the present alliance: "It's far more important to set matters right in regards to 13 years ago!!! Joker!!!" Doflamingo smiles and answers, "I see how it is... so you are prepared to die along with me...!!!" The chapter ends with Law choosing revenge, sabotage, and sacrifice over escape.
