Short Summary
Sanji puts up a valiant fight but was ultimately defeated by Doflamingo. Before the Shichibukai could deliver the killing blow, Sanji was saved by Trafalgar Law who teleported themselves back to the Thousand Sunny. With Caesar Clown back in their control, Law ordered the Straw Hats to head to Zo right now.

Though the Straw Hats were reluctant in leaving their remaining friends behind, they were forced to agree when they were assaulted by a flying Marine battleship, courtesy of Fujitora, and another one of Doflamingo's hand whips. Law reveals that Doflamingo's Devil Fruit will not work in cloudless areas and advise them to find one fast.

Once the Straw Hats escaped with Caesar Clown and the Marines heading to Dressrosa, the two Shichibukais have a showdown on the iron bridge. Law told his former leader that he is ending the alliance with the Straw Hats because once they stop the production of SMILE, Kaido will wipe out Doflamingo. Law also reveals his goal was to make Doflamingo pay for what he did 13 years ago, even if it will cost him his life.

Chapter Notes

 * Doflamingo ate the Ito Ito no Mi.
 * Doflamingo can attach his strings to clouds, allowing him to travel through the sky.
 * Doflamingo shows concern for Jora's life, halting his attack on the Straw Hats and allowing them time to escape.
 * The Thousand Sunny with the crew that was aboard it, and Sanji, head for Zo.
 * Law claims to have ended his alliance with the Straw Hats and the only reason he allied with them was to stop the production of Smile; even if he loses against Doflamingo, Doflamingo will be killed by by Kaido.
 * Law was prepared to go down and bring down Doflamingo with him; even if he died in the initial confrontation, Caesar's heart was inside him, so both of them would die. This would result in the production of Smile stopping, and causing Doflamingo to be killed by Kaido.
