By the time he reached Rowen, his momentum had reached its peak!
With a focused gaze, Lao G raised his hands, forming the letter "G," and shouted as he lunged at Rowen.
"Yotsu no Kamae- Kata Kori (Lower Back Pain Stance·Form Ice)!"
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Lao G rotated rapidly in mid-air, creating a powerful whirlwind. Thick Busoshoku Haki enveloped his fists, tearing through the air with a mournful sound. With his fists swinging, he aimed to strike Rowen's shoulders from both sides.
"You fool!" Rowen let out a disdainful snort, and in the face of the oncoming fists, he suddenly raised both hands.
Bang!
The spinning Lao G came to a halt, and the airflow around him stagnated.
Lao G's face turned red as he struggled to break free, but in the next moment, his wrist bones let out a "creak" sound, reminiscent of broken eggshells. Intense pain surged through him as Lao G let out a miserable scream, his body going limp.
At that moment, Rowen tightly gripped his hands, completely immobilizing him!
In the process of Lao G's consecutive attacks, Rowen had captured the trajectory of his hand movements, grabbing his lightning-fast fists from both sides, interrupting his attack!
With his wrist bones crushed, Lao G was in shock, his face filled with bitterness.
The difference between their strengths… was it really this great?
Even when he activated "Jio-Ken (Battle Preservation Fist)," Lao G, who stood at a mere two meters in height, was held by Rowen like a dead dog, his feet floating in the air.
Zi Zi!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
High-voltage electricity flowed through Rowen's hands, causing Lao G to scream in pain. Soon, a pungent smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Rowen looked at Lao G, foaming at the mouth and convulsing, and spoke slowly.
"Dellinger of the Diamonds Army, Baby 5 of the Spades Army, Violet of the Clubs Army, Monet of the Hearts Army…"
Rowen uttered one familiar and unfamiliar name after another, looking at Lao G with a horrified and uneasy gaze, his grin widening. "Tell me, where are they?!"
"They are in a place… you can never find!" Lao G roared as his body fell backward, gasping for breath. He didn't expect Rowen to be even more terrifying than anticipated, he is ten times, no, he is a hundred times terrifying!
A single exchange almost ended in his death, clearly showing that they were not on the same level! If he hadn't resorted to severing his own arm, he would have been roasted alive by the continuous surge of electricity!
Yes!
He survived by severing his own arm!
At this moment, Lao G's hands were completely twisted off from his wrists, with bone fragments embedded in the muscles, and blood and flesh mangled with each other. Faced with Rowen's steel-like grip, Lao G forcefully twisted his own broken hands to free himself from captivity.
"It's interesting… If that's the case, perhaps you really possess the possibility of killing me!"
Death predictions never go wrong! Not for Rowen anyway!
A faint smile appeared on Rowen's face as he swiftly moved forward.
"So, please die first!"
…
Underneath the sea's surface, a small two-person submarine hid in the crevices of rocks, evading the Marine's search.
Small submarines like this had a flaw in them – they were not fast and lacked strong pressure resistance. They couldn't escape from the search of a dozen Marine submarines at the same time. They could only wait for them to leave and then quietly slip away.
"Young Lord, is Elder Sister… dead?"
The lights were turned off, and the engine was shut down. In the tranquil sea, Sugar sat in her seat, her small hands clasped around her knees, burying her head in her arms.
"Perhaps…"
Doflamingo's expression changed intermittently. Although he had long calculated that he would have to pay a considerable price, when there was only Sugar left by his side, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
He was simply too weak!
Others might not understand this but that was the reality.
It was Rowen himself who pushed him to abandon the Donquixote Family, abandon Dressrosa, and flee for his life! Every time Rowen taunted Doflamingo, he heard it clearly. He wasn't angry at Rowen's attitude but at himself and the things he had done.
Faced with an overwhelming power that held absolute dominance, everything he had once been confident in was shattered, and was utterly meaningless!
Just as Rowen had said.
"There's no 'Why' in here. If I had to give a reason, it would probably be because I'm stronger than you…"
"What does it matter to me if I kill you? What does it matter to me if you resist?"
That pure strength, both in spirit and power, deeply affected Doflamingo.
Who would care how many ants they stepped on in their lifetime?
The anger and despair, the sadness and resistance of ants, existed but had no meaning.
At this moment, he couldn't help but reflect on everything he had done over the past few decades. Did he really need to control the surrounding islands, coerce the Dwarves' Race and the toys, and stir up turmoil in the sinister Hell as the Dark Emperor?
If he had the power of a Yonko, wouldn't all of this be a joke?
If he had the powerful subordinates of a Yonko, would the World Government dare to strip him of his Shichibukai status?
No, absolutely not!
Doflamingo couldn't help but find it amusing. He had fervently declared that "power is everything" and destroyed anyone and anything that tarnished the Donquixote name. But in the end, he was the one who least valued "Power."
His Celestial Dragons' lineage made him accustomed to suppressing others with authority, but Rowen used his own fists to tell him that in this world, the strong always reigned supreme!
Thinking of how he was saved by Kuma's Devil Fruit ability and Rowen faced no consequences for injuring him, a sinister smile appeared on Doflamingo's face as he thought.
"Sengoku, Rowen is no longer under your control! He is a true monster!"
He was eagerly anticipating the day when Rowen would turn the world upside down!
"I… have seen despair, anger, sadness, and fear…"
Suddenly, a soft voice echoed in the quiet submarine and Sugar widened her eyes and turned her head to look.
"Violet!!"
"How did you end up here?!"
Violet, a high-ranking member of the Clubs Army and one of the few Donquixote Family high-level officers who didn't reside in the royal palace, the daughter of King Riku, pushed open the hidden storage compartment and looked at Doflamingo with a complex expression on her face.
