As Doflamingo’s Birdcage closed around Dressrosa, Luffy and Law fought him while Xi Yan and the citizens helped evacuate people and slow the cage. After Luffy’s Haki ran out and Doflamingo threatened his friends, Luffy recovered in Fourth Gear and sent Doflamingo crashing through the town, though the Birdcage’s fate remained uncertain.

• Xi Yan learned that Mansherry’s Heal-Heal Fruit could restore the wounded and went to protect her as Doflamingo began shrinking the Birdcage and Luffy confronted him.
• Law revealed that he had faked his death, struck Doflamingo with Gamma Knife, and fought beside Luffy before Doflamingo repaired his injuries and resumed the battle.
• Xi Yan explained why he would not destroy the Birdcage, helped evacuate people, and urged Dressrosa’s citizens to unite behind King Riku.

• Doflamingo trapped and controlled Luffy with threads, but Luffy entered Fourth Gear again, broke free, and struck Doflamingo with King Kong Gun, sending him crashing into town.

After Doflamingo’s defeat, the Marines moved to arrest the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies, but Dressrosa’s citizens intervened and Fujitora and Smoker let them go. The alliance departed aboard Orlumbus’s fleet, whose captains offered Luffy leadership of a grand fleet, but he refused.
