Chapter 795: Suicide

Arc: Dressrosa · Saga: Dressrosa · Released:

Summary

Three threads intercut. On Dressrosa, the blind Marine Issho leaves the decision to arrest Luffy and Law to a roll of the dice — it comes up a one, so “no arrests tonight” — while Maynard and his men fume; at the palace, citizens hail “Lucy” and his crew as saviors and King Riku reassures his granddaughter Rebecca that she will become a princess once he returns to the throne. In the New World, the Sanji-led “Twirly Hat” group (Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Brook, Momonosuke, and the hostage Caesar Clown) lands on a mystery island and is attacked by a raiding party led by Sheepshead that is hunting a hidden samurai and a woman; Sanji routs them. Far away, near the Hideout of the Kid Pirates, a person-shaped crater slams down from the sky. A flashback to the ruined sky island Balloon Terminal narrates a man who sought a place to die: defeated seven times, captured eighteen times, sentenced to death forty times, every execution failing — who finally leapt from a sky island and lived. He stands up complaining of a headache: Kaido, King of the Beasts, “the strongest creature alive,” who rages at “Joker” to hurry and start “the greatest war this planet has ever seen.”

New reveals

• First on-page appearance of Kaido — revealed in full splash as “Kaido, King of the Beasts” (p. 16).
• Kaido is physically unkillable: under the guillotine the blade cracked, the hanging rope snapped, the execution spear broke; sentenced to death 40 times, tortured over a thousand times, he survived all of it (pp. 13–15). “I just don’t die…” (p. 15).
• Kaido attempted suicide by jumping from a sky island — the ruined sky island Balloon Terminal, 30,000 feet up — and survived the fall, leaving a person-shaped crater near the Kid Pirates’ hideout (pp. 11–16). Chapter title: “Suicide.”
• Kaido is “said to be the strongest creature alive” and “challenged the navy and four emperors” (pp. 14, 17).
• Kaido rages at “Joker” (Doflamingo): “Hurry up, Joker!!! Prepare for the final battle!!! Let this dreary world be destroyed!!! Let’s start the greatest war this planet has ever seen!!!” (p. 17).
• The Sanji/Sunny group has crossed into the New World and reached a mystery island; raiders led by Master Sheepshead are hunting “the samurai” and “the woman” there (pp. 4–9).
• On Dressrosa, Issho decides whether to move on Luffy and Law by a dice roll — a “one” stays his hand for the night (p. 2).
• King Riku intends to return to the throne, which would make Rebecca a princess (p. 3).

• p. 10 — Location caption “HIDEOUT OF THE KID PIRATES”; the sky-impact tremor (“ZOU MM..M!!” SFX) shakes the hideout.
• p. 11 — The person-shaped crater: “It’s in the shape of a person!!!”; Kid’s narration “The strong live…and the weak die. That is the only rule of this world.”

Open questions raised

• Who is “the woman” / “mystery girl” the raiders are hunting, and who is the samurai hidden on the mystery island?
• What is the nature of Kaido’s body that makes him unkillable — and why does he want to die?
• What is Kaido’s connection to Sheepshead’s raiders (the chapter never draws the link on-page)?
• Why were Celestial Dragons (“Holiness”) present at the ruined sky island Balloon Terminal?
• Who are the three unidentified figures resolving to “go through with it” (p. 17)?
