After overwhelming Donquixote Doflamingo with gear fourth of his Gomu Gomu no Mi in Episode 728, Monkey D. Luffy found himself in helpless state after pouring everything he got to kill the King of Dressrosa. Unfortunately, their epic battle is far from over with Doflamingo still very much alive and Jesus Burgess threatening to steal the power of Gomu Gomu no Mi from Luffy.
Preview:
It looks like Luffy's all-out Leo Bazooka attack won't be enough to finish off Doflamingo. Luffy may have inflicted serious damage on the leader of the Donquixote pirates, but his body also took a heavy toll by using the technique he developed during his training in Rusukaina Island.
Now, with Luffy struggling to stand on his own feet due to exhaustion, Jesus Burgess, the first ship captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, senses an opportunity to steal Gomu Gomu no Mi by killing a helpless Luffy. Worse, Doflamingo has already regained his consciousness, and seemed more motivated than ever to end the strawhat pirate's life.
What to expect in Episode 729:
Lots of 'firepower,' Literally.If you already checked out the teaser for this upcoming episode, you probably know that Sabo will again try to bail his little brother out of harm's way. As the one that inherits Ace's Mera Mera no Mi, the revolutionary feels he has also assumed the responsibility of protecting Luffy as well.
But can he fend off Burgess, who appears determined to go the extra mile just to acquire Luffy's Devil Fruit power?
