Just as everyone anticipated Law's attack would swiftly end Doflamingo, concluding the battle abruptly.
However, in the very next moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Law, brimming with anger, wielded a sword that pierced through all defenses!
A golden opportunity presented itself to vanquish Doflamingo on the spot or, at the very least, inflict severe injuries.
Doflamingo, initially dazed, found himself unable to evade. Yet, through the manipulation of his thread fruit, he skillfully redirected Law's arm with a swift pull.
The sword veered off course, missing Doflamingo entirely, slipping through harmlessly.
...
Doflamingo seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick to Law's body and once again subduing him underfoot!
A golden opportunity squandered, turning into a perilous situation for Law.
Regret filled Law's heart as Doflamingo's sinister smile persisted.
The balance of the battle, once more, tilted in Doflamingo's favor.
Witnessing this scene, viewers worldwide wore expressions of dismay.
Meanwhile, Luffy remained entangled with Doflamingo's doppelganger, not in a position to rescue Law as in the previous stroke of luck.
...
The screen continued to unfold, but the focus shifted from the clash between Law, Luffy, and Doflamingo to the skirmish between Cavendish, Bartolomeo, and others against the Doflamingo family cadres.
Franky and Senior Pink admired each other's resilience, and the battle remained evenly matched.
Zoro engaged in a fierce duel against the colossal Pica, whose rock giants wreaked havoc.
Zoro, nimble and armed with three knives, skillfully disrupted Pica's attacks, preventing the stone giant from unleashing its true power.
Despite the prolonged confrontation, Zoro's excitement grew with every slash against the gigantic target.
...
Meanwhile, Kyros, reverting to his true form, clashed with Diamanti, a seasoned cadre, fueled by deep-seated grudges.
[Before Kyros was transformed into a toy, he held the title of Dressrosa's mightiest gladiator, earning him the undefeated moniker!]
[Diamanti, too, gained the reputation of being the unrivaled champion in the arena after Doflamingo took control of Dressrosa, and he, too, remained undefeated...]
[The true unbeatable champion will be revealed after their imminent clash!]
[Confronting each other on the sunflower-filled grass, they executed fatal moves, leaving no room for hesitation...]
[Meanwhile, Doflamingo family's other two executives, Lao G and Baby5, found themselves in a bizarre situation during their duel against Sai.]
[Baby5, unable to refuse any request, unintentionally fell in love with Sai...]
[In an unexpected turn of events, before the battle concluded, a powerful Doflamingo family executive defected, becoming Sai's wife...]
[In his haste, Sai kicked Don Chinjao's proud awl head to prevent any attacks on Baby5...]
[Don Chinjao, tears streaming, not only wasn't angered but was thrilled to the core, boldly proclaiming Sai had finally surpassed him as a man!]
[On the spot, Don Chinjao handed over leadership of the Happo Marine to Sai, acknowledging him as the new leader!]
[In this moment, Sai not only embraced his newfound beauty but also inherited a formidable force!]
[This unexpected turn left even Sai bewildered by the unfolding events!]
[Viewers watching the live broadcast were equally stunned—what in the world was happening?]
[Sai, this guy, seemed to be winning at life! He not only had a stunning wife but also gained a significant power boost! This luck was unheard of...]
[Ignoring the size and strength of the Happo Marine, the defection of a Doflamingo family executive, especially someone as capable as Baby5, was a stroke of incredible luck!]
[Baby5, with her beauty and versatile weapon-summoning abilities, proved to be a valuable asset. Her obedience only added to the incredible twist of events, leaving viewers in disbelief...]
[Even the Revolutionary Army, the Four Emperors Pirates, and the Marine headquarters were left speechless after witnessing the unfolding spectacle...]
[It seemed as though Sai had devoured the Luck Fruit itself. His fortunes were enviable...]
[Sai, embracing his newfound beauty, experienced a significant boost in combat prowess...]
[Even facing the formidable Lao G, Sai emerged victorious, overcoming the opponent's strength under the surge of newfound power...]
[This victory against Lao G further lessened the pressure on the group by reducing the Doflamingo family's cadre count...]
[Simultaneously, on another front, the giant Hajrudin confronted Machvise, a user of the Ton-Ton fruit ability...]
[Machvise, capable of manipulating his weight to reach tens of tons, posed a considerable threat to Hajrudin...]
[Despite initial struggles, with Hajrudin enduring severe damage and immobility, he tapped into his strong willpower, fueled by the admiration of Luffy and others...]
[In a desperate turn of events, Hajrudin unleashed all his power, defying the odds.]
[At this moment, the formidable might of the giant race was boldly exhibited!]
[Unexpectedly, opposing the massive weight of Machvise, tens of tons in stature, he punched it skyward!]
[Dressrosa found itself enclosed by Doflamingo's lines!]
[Machvise soared into the air, colliding head-on with the birdcage...]
[A razor-sharp silk thread swiftly morphed and severed it open!]
[With a splatter of blood, there was no room for doubt...]
[He joined the ranks of the Doflamingo family cadres eliminated, following Sai's conquest of Baby5 and victory over Lao G!]
[Though Hajrudin was also fatigued and couldn't help but slump to the ground...]
[Without a doubt, the reduction of Doflamingo family cadres once more tilted the balance in this battle...]
[For Luffy's side, a slight leaning again...]
In just a few frames, the Doflamingo family cadre members lost three: Baby5, Lao G, and Machvise!
This also revealed a glimmer of victory to everyone!
While the outlook for the battle against Doflamingo wasn't optimistic with Law and Luffy present,
At least, in these factions...
The tide was gradually turning! This realization dawned on everyone!
It turned out that those Doflamingo family cadre members, who initially appeared invincible,
were not without vulnerabilities!
At least, with the unwavering efforts of Sai, Hajrudin, and others who followed Luffy with devotion, they were striving to rescue Dressrosa and defeat Doflamingo!
Although... Baby5's defection was somewhat surprising!
Yet, turning enemies into allies was also a commendable feat!
[Apart from Luffy and Law, the most intense battle occurred on Bartolomeo and Cavendish side!]
[Although both of them were formidable, even exceptionally so!]
[They faced Gladius!]
[With explosive fruit abilities, Gladius was, among the Doflamingo family cadres, quite a challenge...]
[Second only to sugar and pica, his powers were tricky!]
[Gladius could move freely in any direction]
[Bartolomeo struggled, relying on his own barrier fruit powers...]
[However, Cavendish rushed forward to defeat him in a haste to showcase his skills!]
[But...]
[Evidently, confronted with the constant explosions from Gladius's abilities, Cavendish fell straight to the ground as soon as he engaged.]
[This left Bartolomeo feeling both anxious and speechless.]
[But in the next moment...]
[A terrifying scene unfolded!]
[Cavendish, who was knocked unconscious, slowly rose again.]
[Yet, at this moment, he lacked the nobility and grace of the prince from before!]
[Instead, he bore a demonic countenance that instilled unparalleled dread, just a glance enough to make one shiver!]
[At this moment, Bartolomeo suddenly recalled a similar incident in the arena.]
[The demon within him... was unleashed!]
[This meant that Cavendish's true strength would now be boldly exhibited!]
