Chereads / One Piece : Brotherhood / Chapter 63 - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 - Chapter 63

Kaido noticed Doflamingo's gaze and kicked Pica's lifeless body, a cruel taunt aimed at the Donquixote Family's leader. "Join me, brat," Kaido offered, his voice dripping with malice. "Serve under me, and I'll spare your life. All three of you are worthy of serving under the might of the Beast Pirates."

But Doflamingo remained defiant, refusing to bow to Kaido's demands. "Our deal was clear, Kaido-sama," Marcus, also known as Brutus, interjected from the sidelines, clad in his CP0 uniform. "Doflamingo is to be handed over to Cipher Pol alive. You'll get their secrets, but Doflamingo must be surrendered. That's the agreement."

Infuriated by Marcus's words, Kaido swung his club with tremendous force, imbuing it with haki as he unleashed his Thunder Bagua attack. Marcus reacted swiftly, crossing his arms and cloaking himself in haki to defend against the onslaught.

The clash reverberated through the air, the sheer force of the collision sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. Though Marcus managed to withstand the attack, the momentum of the impact sent him hurtling backward, breaking his Tekkai stance.

As the chaos unfolded on the island, the fate of the Donquixote family hung in the balance, caught in a deadly struggle against the overwhelming might of the Beast Pirates and their fearsome captain, Kaido.

"You government's dog, you don't get to tell me what I can and can't do, understood, you bastard?" Kaido's voice thundered across the chaotic battlefield as he glared menacingly at the CP agent. His anger simmered beneath the surface, fueled by the agent's interference.

"If I want him to join my crew, then that's final. Who gave you the authority to challenge me?" Kaido's words dripped with contempt as he addressed the CP agent. Despite his fury, Kaido restrained himself from unleashing his full wrath on the agent. He understood the delicate balance of power and alliances in the world.

Kaido's recent encounter with Garp and the one sided torment that followed taught him valuable lessons about the dangers of overestimating his own strength. And in Wano, Oden's connections with figures like Roger and Whitebeard posed a significant threat, one that Kaido was not yet ready to face head-on. He needed time to solidify his position at the pinnacle of power.

While Kaido recognized the importance of maintaining ties with the World Government, he refused to be subservient to their whims. The revelation of Wano's true nature had shifted the balance of power in his favor, making him realize that he held more leverage than he had previously thought.

Despite his disdain for authority, Kaido understood the pragmatic necessity of alliances and cooperation. For now, he would tolerate the presence of the CP agents, but he made it clear that he would not be dictated to by anyone, not even the World Government.

"Hahaha, the government's dog, now that has a good ring to it, doesn't it, Kaido? Aren't you a dog yourself? Willing to betray your allies just to lick their shoes?" Doflamingo's laughter cut through the tension between Kaido and Marcus, both of whom turned towards the young teen, who was laughing like a madman.

"Brat, do you want to die?" Kaido's expression darkened as Doflamingo taunted him with the epithet "dog."

Doflamingo's laughter echoed across the chaotic battlefield, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of madness and defiance. Despite facing off against the monstrous Kaido, he seemed almost gleeful, as if reveling in the chaos surrounding him.

Kaido's rage simmered beneath his formidable exterior, his massive form crackling with latent power. "You dare mock me, little brat?" he growled, his voice like thunder rolling across the island. "I could crush you with a single blow!"

But Doflamingo remained unfazed, his grin widening as he stared down at the future Emperor of the Sea. "Oh, I'm sure you could, Kaido," he taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But where's the fun in that? Besides, I'm not one to go down without a fight."

"Flame Emperor"

As if to punctuate his words, Doflamingo's entire form danced with orange flames, empowering the burst of Conqueror's Haki, a tangible aura of power radiating from his very being. He may have been battered and bruised, but his spirit burned brighter than ever.

Marcus, the CP agent, watched the exchange with a mix of apprehension and intrigue. He had witnessed firsthand the chaos that both Kaido and the young Donquixote family members could unleash. Although Kaido had an overwhelming advantage over his opponents, the young Doflamingo was also a pretty strong fighter; if he had a decade or two to grow, he might have reached the apex, and currently, the prospect of them clashing sent a creeping smile on his face. But he also knew that this confrontation presented a unique opportunity to extract valuable intelligence, regardless of the outcome.

The clash between Kaido and the trio from the Donquixote Family erupted into a chaotic frenzy, the air crackling with tension as their powers clashed with the might of the strongest creature of the sea.

"Spear of Hell."

Doflamingo, his eyes burning with a fierce determination, unleashed torrents of flaming spears, weaving them into intricate patterns that danced around Kaido like fiery serpents. But despite his formidable display, Kaido seemed almost indifferent to the flames licking at his skin, his monstrous form shrugging off the attacks with casual ease.

Beside Doflamingo, Diamante unleashed torrents of soot, enveloping the battlefield in a choking haze that obscured visibility and added to the confusion. With swift and precise movements, he transformed the very ground beneath Kaido's feet into a shifting landscape of traps and pitfalls, hoping to catch the beast off guard. But Kaido's senses were razor-sharp, and he effortlessly navigated the treacherous terrain, his steps sure and steady amidst the chaos.

Meanwhile, Senor utilized his string fruit powers to ensnare Kaido, weaving intricate webs of razor-sharp threads in an attempt to bind the Emperor and restrict his movements. But Kaido's strength was unmatched, and with a mighty roar, he tore through the threads with sheer brute force, sending Senor reeling backward with a look of shock and disbelief.

As the battle raged on, it became increasingly clear that the odds were stacked against the trio from the Donquixote family. Despite their best efforts, they were no match for the overwhelming power of Kaido, whose sheer strength and resilience seemed almost otherworldly. With each passing moment, the situation grew more dire, with the trio's attacks barely making a dent in Kaido's formidable defenses.

Then, in a sudden and brutal turn of events, Diamante found himself in Kaido's sights.

"Conqueror of the Three Worlds, Ragnaraku."

Kaidou in his human-beast form. Wielding his club two-handed, he jumped into the air and quickly spun his weapon above his head as he imbued it with Haoshoku Haki, making it exude black lightning. He then, while descending, swung his club down with great force.

The future Emperor's massive club swinging down with terrifying speed and precision. With a sickening crunch, Diamante was crushed beneath the force of the blow, his body crumpling like a ragdoll as he was thrown aside, defeated and broken, his fate unknown .

"Diamante!" Doffy screamed as he saw Diamante's skull shatter under the impact, but before he could react, Kaido set his sights on Senor and dashed towards his loyal friend and subordinate.

Senor fared a little better, his attempts to evade Kaido's wrath proving futile as the beast unleashed a barrage of devastating blows, each one more powerful than the last. With a final, bone-crushing strike, Senor's unconscious and broken form was sent hurtling through the air, his body limp and battered as he crashed to the ground in a heap, his fate unknown.

Now, only Doflamingo remained, his eyes wide with shock and horror as he faced down the indomitable Kaido. With a menacing growl, Kaido raised his club high overhead, the air crackling with anticipation as he prepared to deliver the final, crushing blow. For Doflamingo, there was nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide. All he could do was brace himself for the inevitable impact, his fate hanging in the balance as the battle reached its brutal conclusion.

In his final moments, Doflamingo's thoughts drifted to his brother, recalling the moments they had shared and wondering if he should have heeded his brother's warnings. He yearned to see his brother one last time, but amidst the chaos of battle, such wishes seemed futile. With a grim determination, Doflamingo mustered all his remaining strength, his Conqueror's Haki blazing forth like a final act of defiance.

As the clash between Kaido, the fearsome Beast Pirate Emperor, and the young teenage Doflamingo, wielding the powers of the Flame-Flame Fruit, ignited, the air crackled with anticipation. Kaido's monstrous form, a hybrid between dragon and man, loomed over Doflamingo, his imposing presence suffocating.

With a roar that shook the very ground, Kaido lunged forward, his massive claws aiming to crush Doflamingo where he stood. But Doflamingo, his eyes burning with determination, dodged with agile grace, leaving trails of fiery embers in his wake.

Summoning his armament Haki, Kaido unleashed a devastating barrage of blows, each strike carrying the weight of his monstrous strength. Doflamingo danced between the onslaught, his own Haki flaring to deflect the onslaught of attacks. But with each clash, the overwhelming power of Kaido began to take its toll.

Doflamingo retaliated with torrents of scorching flames, weaving intricate patterns of fire that licked at Kaido's formidable defenses. But even as the flames engulfed the battlefield, Kaido pressed on, relentless in his assault.

Bloodied and battered, Doflamingo refused to yield. With a defiant scream, he unleashed his ultimate technique, "Hell's Judgement," a vortex of searing flames that engulfed Kaido in a inferno of agony. But even as the flames raged, Kaido emerged from the inferno, his body adorned with burns, yet his resolve unbroken.

With a thunderous roar, Kaido unleashed his own signature move, "Thunder Bagua," a devastating shockwave of Haki-infused power that sent Doflamingo crashing to the ground, his body broken and bloodied.

Yet, even in the face of certain defeat, Doflamingo rose once more, fueled by sheer anger and determination. With the last remnants of his strength, he unleashed a final, desperate onslaught of flames, a blaze of defiance against the unstoppable force of Kaido.

In the end, as the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Doflamingo stood on trembling legs, his body broken and battered, but his spirit unbroken. Though defeated, his fiery determination had left an indelible mark on the battlefield, a testament to his unyielding will in the face of overwhelming odds.

"Majestic Flame Destroyer!" Doflamingo roared, unleashing a torrent of searing flames towards Kaido, hoping against hope that this last-ditch effort would somehow turn the tide. But Kaido, with his overwhelming strength and resilience, tore through the flames with sheer brute force, the inferno dissipating in the face of his unstoppable might. In an instant, Kaido closed the distance between them, his massive club descending with terrifying speed.

"Great Virtue and Authority Thunderclap Eight Trigrams!"

The sickening sound of impact echoed across the battlefield as Kaido's club connected with Doflamingo's body, crushing bone and rending flesh with brutal efficiency. Doflamingo's vision blurred, pain exploding throughout his body as he felt himself being overwhelmed by the sheer force of the blow. Darkness encroached upon his senses, but even in his final moments, he refused to yield.

As Kaido raised his club high, preparing to deliver the final, fatal blow, Doflamingo's mind raced. Memories flashed before his eyes—moments of triumph and defeat, victories and losses. He thought of his family, his allies, and his enemies—all those who had shaped his journey and brought him to this fateful moment.

"Goodbye, Little Brother!"

But amidst the pain and despair, a spark of defiance ignited within Doflamingo's heart. With his last ounce of strength, he summoned forth his conqueror's haki once more, channeling it into a final act of resistance against the overwhelming might of Kaido. It was a futile gesture, a mere flicker of defiance against the unstoppable force bearing down upon him, but in that fleeting moment, Doflamingo refused to go down without a fight.

And then, with a final, bone-crushing blow, darkness claimed him, his consciousness slipping away as the merciless embrace of oblivion welcomed him home. In the end, Doflamingo's fate was sealed, his legacy forever entwined with the tumultuous currents of history, a tragic figure whose story would be remembered by those who came after.

"Enough!" Marcus interjected, his voice cutting through the tension like a knife. "Kaido sama, remember why we're here. We have a mission to complete, and personal vendettas will only hinder our progress."

Kaido's gaze shifted from the fallen Doflamingo to Marcus, his expression unreadable. "Fine," he grunted, reluctantly relenting for the time being. "But mark my words, our old collaboration ends today. I do not owe you guys anymore favors; your insolence will not be forgotten."

Marcus's grin only widened in response,because for him, Kaido and the government matter were insignificant in front of his mission, and he needed to take Doffy back to the Holy Land, his eyes glittering with a dangerous light. "Looking forward to it, Kaido," he quipped, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

And with that, the uneasy truce held, at least for the moment. But amidst the chaos of battle and the downfall of the Donquixote family, the seeds of future conflict had been sown, destined to bloom into full-blown chaos in the days to come.
