Chapter 77 Do You Want To Blow Up The World?
"So what!?"
A head of blond hair was about to be torn off from the scalp, but the severe pain aroused Doflamingo's viciousness, and his bloodshot eyes erupted with anger.
The five fingers of his right hand bent like sharp claws, and he lifted his hand from bottom to top, sweeping a silk thread as sharp as a sword towards Byrnndi Waldo's crotch with a "chi" sound.
Unexpectedly, Byrnndi Waldo sneered and did not move to avoid it. Instead, his body sank as he lifted his legs and bent his knees, and his calf, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, collided with the transparent silk thread in mid-air.
A large area of sparks burst brilliantly as Byrnndi Waldo, without hesitation, surged forward like an arrow from a bow, and his huge, shiny black fist forcefully struck Doflamingo's throat.
"Wow!"
Doflamingo felt as if his throat had been struck hard, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two broken teeth spinning into the air.
"Damn guy!!! I am Doflamingo!!!"
His throat wounded, Doflamingo growled furiously, his hoarse voice sounding scorched by fire, his eyes filled with fury.
With his fingers tensed, he flicked them hard.
The five forked threads of the "Leaf Rake" shot out at close range, piercing toward Byrnndi Waldo's throat.
"Dropping String!"
Byrnndi Waldo's eyes narrowed, and a subtle red light flashed deep within his pupils.
Almost instinctively, he tilted his head slightly, and the thread that could pierce through steel brushed past his cheek, leaving a shallow bloodstain.
Seeing this, Doflamingo paused in surprise.
But the next moment, the burly figure before him had vanished.
"You're quite interesting, kid. You're indeed worthy of being the king of the North Blue's underground world," said a voice rough with wild laughter as the sound of air cracking grew nearer.
Boom!
A sound of shattering echoed as a fist, like a meteorite, struck Doflamingo's chest, followed by the chilling noise of bones cracking.
Byrnndi Waldo yelled out.
Boom!
As the Armament Haki erupted a second time, a violent and desperate impact force wreaked havoc on the blond boy's body, with large patches of blood bursting from his skin, turning his high-end white shirt blood red.
The ground within a 100-meter radius suddenly cracked and split apart, and with a deafening roar, the entire Donquixote Family residence collapsed under the force of the punch!
Amidst the billowing dust, Doflamingo let out a muffled grunt, his pupils trembling as his legs gave out, and he fell limply to his knees.
He covered his abdomen with both hands, panting like a fish out of water.
An unprecedented feeling of darkness covered his eyes.
The crushing gap... this guy's strength was so immense it was despairing!
"Okay, it's almost time to finish playing," Byrnndi Waldo said casually as he glanced at the surrounding ruins, picking up a mostly intact bottle of wine from the broken coffee table.
He pulled the cork out, took two gulps, wiped his lips, and grinned, "Little devil... you should have heard of my name. I came to you to discuss some business."
"Business? Is that what you call talking about business?" Doflamingo finally caught his breath, lifted his head with difficulty, his face pale as a sheet.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared coldly at the imposing pirate before him.
"Thieves, hahaha! What else? I'm a pirate!! Not one of those yellow-haired brats who likes to play house!!"
Byrnndi Waldo laughed recklessly. "Could it be possible for me to pay a polite visit, shake hands, and chat?"
"Little brat... I don't talk nonsense. Since the Donquixote Family you lead controls the whole underground arms smuggling business in the North Blue, I will speak directly." He rubbed the wound on his chest, which was tied with a bloody bandage, and a malevolent grin slowly crept onto his face. "I need ammunition, a large amount... and a cannon of an unprecedented scale!"
A huge cannon? Doflamingo's pupils contracted upon hearing this. Relevant information about the wild man before him quickly flashed through his mind. "World Destroyer" Byrnndi Waldo, with a bounty of 400 million Berry, the infamous big pirate, user of the Momo Fruit ability. His Devil Fruit ability allows him to increase the size and speed of foreign objects dozens or even hundreds of times. Even the simplest flintlock gun in his hands can unleash power far beyond the heavy artillery on Marine warships! With such a fearsome ability, he has demolished towns and Marine ships, destroying anything that blocks his path.
And now, this man wants to build a cannon of an unprecedented scale. A giant cannon like that, boosted by Byrnndi Waldo's Momo Fruit ability, could obliterate a small island in an instant!
"Do you want to blow up the Naval Headquarters? Or the Holy Land of Mariejois?" Doflamingo asked with a shiver, noting Byrnndi Waldo's twisted and insane expression.
"That's not your concern, Joker brat," Byrnndi Waldo sneered. "You just need to help me create it. I'd advise you not to ask too much about anything else."
Doflamingo raised his eyebrows, about to speak, when suddenly Byrnndi Waldo lifted his boot and stomped heavily on his head, smashing his face into the ground. The ground shattered, forming dense cracks, and Doflamingo's eyes immediately became bloodshot as he clenched his teeth.
"Do you understand, Joker brat?" Byrnndi Waldo sneered as he stepped on Doflamingo's head and continued to apply pressure, crushing the ground beneath. "Of course, I still know the rules of doing business. You can't lose out in a deal."
"Your life is the earnings from this transaction," he jeered, giving him an ultimatum. "You have three days."
The moment the words were spoken, Doflamingo felt the pressure on his head release. He looked up quickly to find that Byrnndi Waldo had vanished, leaving only the wreckage of the family residence and the blood seeping from his forehead, staining his eyes red.
"Damn!" Doflamingo sat stunned, then suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast, his hands digging into the ground, his expression violent and distorted. Blue veins bulged on his forehead as if they were angry worms.
"Joker..." Torrebol and the others approached cautiously, their bodies heavily injured. They gazed at Doflamingo's unpredictable face, not daring to make a sound.
At that moment, Doflamingo suddenly erupted with maniacal laughter. He convulsed with the force of his laughter until tears flowed.
"Interesting!! Interesting!! This is truly interesting!!" He slowly took out a phone bug from his arms, the dark glasses reflecting a sinister light. It was a military phone bug he never thought he'd use.
The phone bug's call was jarring in the silence of the ruined mansion. Sunlight streamed down from the broken dome, creating whirls of dust around the blond-haired Celestial Dragons boy.
"it's me," a deep voice came through the device.
Doflamingo knelt there, silent for a long time before speaking, "Godfather, Byrnndi Waldo has come to me."
He lowered his head as he spoke.
