A large number of energy beams struck the surface of the lava fist like a tumultuous waterfall of purple light, each collision producing thunderous booms and searing shockwaves.
"Roar!" Suddenly, Blue heart roared, but her voice carried extreme horror and fear as she realized that the energy projectiles she had fired could not stop the relentless advance of the lava fist.
[Rumble!]
The giant lava fist violently hit Blue Heart's face and chest, causing explosions of air around him, releasing gusts of raging winds visible to the naked eye.
The huge body was thrown hundreds of meters, flying over the roofs of all the buildings along the way, smashing a hill outside the base, and in an instant, her body was swallowed by countless rocks and flowing magma.
"Maybe Sakazuki went a little overboard. I didn't ask him to kill her..." Raymond complained when he saw the scene.
"Ahem, Blue Heart probably won't die. The 'Nue' have a very strong self-healing ability. Even if their limbs are cut off, they can recover in a short time."
"Basically, as long as there is no problem with the head and heart, there is no big problem." Fritz explained after he recovered from the shock.
Addison glanced around in confusion. From a simple visual inspection, he could tell that the losses this time would be considerable. "General Sakazuki has caused more damage than that 'Blue Heart'..."
Raymond was excited now, and he hurried in the direction where Blue Heart and Sakazuki had flown, closely followed by Tsuru and others.
...
Outside the base.
Sakazuki pushed away the large rocks that covered Blue Heart.
However, Blue Heart did not get up, but instead let out heart-rending howls as it writhed on the ground, frantically punching at the lava and flames that covered it.
"Roar!"
With no choice, Blue Heart was forced to actively separate the outer layer of her body. She could not bear the searing pain and quickly left the Fused Colony.
However, just when Blue Heart was going to flee out of instinct, she realized that Sakazuki was floating in the air with his cold gaze fixed on her.
Under survival instincts, she still stopped her movements out of fear, not daring to make any rash moves, because she has run out of energy and has no ability to start another fierce battle.
At her feet lay piles of Kabane corpses, continually being burned and devoured by the burning lava, creating a raging fire around them.
"Let me take care of this, Sakazuki." Tsuru, at a speed difficult for the human eye to perceive, silently appeared behind Blue Heart.
Immediately, she tapped her high heels on the ground and a circle of cool, fragrant water vapor spread out, 'washing' the area of Kabane, lava and flames.
Sakazuki naturally had no objection to this and canceled the elementalization and fell back to the ground.
"Roar!"
Blue Heart, seeing this woman although her mental energy was almost exhausted, still fiercely rushed towards her out of instinct and bloodlust.
"Behave, child..." With a gentle movement of his right hand, he touched Blue Heart's face.
Blue Heart instantly turned into a bright, glowing 'garment' in Tsuru's hand, and her terrifying expression became serene.
"Oh, this kid is really very dirty. Who would have thought that he would bring out so many impurities?" Tsuru looked at the bubbles floating in front of his eyes in surprise.
In these bubbles floated a cloud of purple-black smoke, which had just been 'washed' from Blue Heart's mind.
...
North Blue, Spider Miles Island.
"Doffy." Trebol called to Doflamingo. "Everyone is here."
"Oh really...?" He nodded after hearing this, then got up from the sofa and walked towards the conference room.
At this moment, the main members of the Donquixote family have gathered. When Trebol enters and sits in his place, the meeting of all the higher-ups finally begins.
"Doffy, where's Pica?" Diamante, who had just come back from outside, looked at the empty chair opposite and asked doubtfully.
"I sent him outside, he won't be back for a while" Doflamingo sat on the main seat and crossed his legs arrogantly, grinning.
"I see." Diamante didn't ask any more questions.
"The reason I brought you together today is to inform you that I have decided to establish a shipping company. Its main activity is to provide shipping services including weapons, soldiers, materials, and even general cargo to various nations."
"Anything that needs to be transported by sea in large quantities or is expensive will have to come to us!"
Doflamingo brought the topic straight to the point, which unsurprisingly aroused everyone's surprise and confusion.
"Doffy, although I don't know why you suddenly want to get involved in shipping, you should know that that business is very difficult."
"You need many experienced sailors, a variety of vessels and the ability to ensure that products reach their destination on time and in good condition."
"And now most of the shipping is controlled by Umit. Even the weapons we make must be sent to buyers by him. This person is one of the Emperors of the Underworld, if we intervene in this industry..."
Having said this, Trebol looked at his young master with a troubled expression and asked: "Doflamingo, are you prepared to face this Shipping Magnate who is in full swing?"
"Fufufu... The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it will be. The time has come to take the title of 'Deep Ocean Current' from Umit" Doflamingo grinned and sneered.
"They don't have to worry about manpower, ships or even sea charts. Everything will be available when needed."
"What we need to do now is find his main strongholds in the North Blue, take the business of this region and then defend ourselves from any retaliation that comes next. And preferably, find the lair of this Deep Ocean Current"
Seeing that he was determined, the others stopped trying to dissuade him and began to consider Doflamingo's words. For them, the development strategy of the Donquixote Family had begun to change.
Although everyone was pretty confused about what was happening.
"Doffy, finding the shipping points won't be difficult, but finding Umit will be extremely difficult."
"Previously, some factions tried to surround him when he appeared in one place, but he always mysteriously disappeared into the sea, only to appear the next day in some other kingdom in another sea area." Vergo frowned and spoke out the difficult point.
In fact, Doflamingo has heard about this, but he can't help it.
Imu had already asked him to secretly hand over the weapons manufacturing plant under his control to the World Government, then establish a shipping company to take over the world's shipping, and also find the location of the headquarters of the 'Deep Ocean Current'.
Furthermore, he also knew the situation of Rosinante. In fact, Doflamingo greatly valued his younger brother, who had suddenly disappeared years ago.
Regardless, Rosinante was his only remaining blood relative, and Doflamingo valued his family greatly.
Of course, once someone betrays, they are no longer family...
...
The Five Elders met again in the Room of Authority.
Honestly speaking, in the past year, these meetings between them had been a little more frequent. Before they didn't have so many things to do. Everyone was busy with their own affairs, enjoying the peace and quiet.
"The situation in the Kabane world is basically clear. Nothing can threaten our combat power. We need to pay attention to the Kabane virus and not let it spread." Warcury took the initiative to chair the meeting. "So what's next is that we can start moving. First, we will occupy Kongoukaku, and in the process we will control the Shogunate!"
Nusjuro said in a deep voice: "There is no problem on our side. Crocodile leading a thousand elite troops is enough. The key is the administrative department. The movement is too slow, when are they going to reach Iwato Station?"
As the highest boss of the three armies, he is the one who is least afraid of the five old stars with mustaches and mustaches among the five old stars present. He is the only one who can say such words that are almost accusatory.
Warcury looked displeased. "You are only responsible for the conquest and subsequent occupation. Meanwhile, we have to develop an entire world, which involves practically all departments."
"Unified currency, unified laws, resource extraction, trade, land cultivation, construction of shipyards, hospitals, schools, banks, police stations, prisons, plus the regeneration of 'Kabane' resources."
"All of these things are the responsibility of our Government Affairs Council, and we definitely need more preparation time."
Hearing this, before V. Nusjuro said anything, Saturn felt unhappy and reminded him. "Laws, police and prisons are matters for our Court, but all of this has to wait for your Government Affairs Council to complete its work."
"Hmph, anyway, hurry up and pack up the Kabane world as soon as possible, so that Crocodile and Bullet can come back as soon as possible!" V. Nusjuro also had his own temper, after urging once again, he stopped paying attention to Warcury.
