This guy…
Is he also sent by the Navy?
A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Doflamingo tried to throw Fujitora off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move Fujitora's body an inch.
Instead, the pressure from the gravity on his body became increasingly apparent.
"Another Devil Fruit user…"
"Are you the Heavenly Yaksha, Doflamingo?" Fujitora interrupted Doflamingo. "I've heard that under the name Joker, you've established this underground kingdom, selling arms, slaves, and artificial Devil Fruits… After committing so many crimes, can you sleep peacefully at night?"
Fujitora was genuinely asking.
But to Doflamingo, the question was laughable.
Can't sleep?
He slept very soundly every night.
"Shield White Thread!"
Without answering Fujitora's question, Doflamingo gave a light shout, and a large number of white threads instantly emerged from the ground, attacking Fujitora.
Sensing the danger with his Observation Haki, Fujitora lightly leaped, stepping on the white threads and flying backward into the air. At the same time, he drew his cane-sword and slashed at Doflamingo's head.
Clang—!
The clash of Armament Haki created a shockwave that forced the surrounding pirates to crouch down, unable to open their eyes.
Meanwhile…
Covered in blood, Vivian stood up and glanced at the pirates holding Tashigi and the others, as well as the hunched old man.
"Lao G, huh?"
Among the Donquixote Family, aside from Doflamingo, he was probably the strongest?
"Hey, let them go," Vivian said.
"Let them go?"
"You're dreaming."
"Navy, you trespassed into the underground factory, and you think you can leave alive?"
The pirates, looking fierce, raised their blades, ready to slash at Tashigi's neck.
At that critical moment, Vivian exhaled, stepped forward, and unleashed another Thunderclap and Flash.
In the next second, a large number of pirates convulsed and collapsed under the electric light, and Vivian's figure flashed, slashing horizontally at Lao G's waist.
Clang!
The sound of Armament Haki blocking the blade.
Before Vivian could exert more force, Lao G's muscles swelled rapidly, returning to his youthful form.
"Storing the strength and stamina of his youth within his body, only releasing it during critical battles…"
This unique Qi Gong technique of Lao G's, Vivian wondered if it had any fundamental connection to Life Return.
While he was pondering this…
Bang!
Lao G's powerful punch created a deep "G" shaped crater in the ground, causing the surrounding crowd to fall to the ground.
"G Imprint!!"
"Sixth Form: Rumble And Flash!!"
Shockwaves and lightning intertwined, devouring each other.
As the energy dissipated, Vivian's figure appeared behind Lao G, stabbing his blade into Lao G's back.
Sss!
The sound of the blade piercing flesh.
Blood gushed from the wound.
Lao G turned around and punched Vivian in the abdomen.
"Wow!"
Another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
Vivian pressed one hand on Lao G's shoulder, while the other hand grabbed a military Sword already full of nicks and stabbed it fiercely into the opponent's arm.
"Heat Lightning!"
Electric light flashed.
When the people sitting on the ground looked over again, they saw that Lao G had reverted to his old form, his whole body charred and emitting black smoke, completely unconscious.
…
"Whoo~~!"
The sound of a warship's whistle.
Doflamingo kicked Fujitora's cane sword, just about to use his Conqueror's Haki to stun the civilians on the cargo ship, when he saw the stone wall at the end of the port suddenly opened by someone, and several warships sailed straight in.
"Warships…"
Propulsion device?
Thinking of what Vivian had just said, the veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged even more.
"Doflamingo, I am Navy Headquarters Captain Smoker, and I order you to put down your weapons and submit to inspection!"
"Did Headquarters send someone?" Doflamingo put his hands in his pockets and twisted his neck, "Was it that guy who leaked the information through the Den Den Mushi?"
He didn't know if the call was to notify Headquarters or this superior.
"Doflamingo, you have violated the treaty by selling arms and capturing civilians at will. According to the original regulations, Headquarters has the right to revoke your Shichibukai title!"
"Is that so?"
"Fufufufufu…"
Doflamingo laughed out loud and began to manipulate the string clone he had created.
He had already made up his mind to use the "Birdcage" to cover the entire underground factory and kill all the Marines present to cover up his crimes.
However, just as he was about to use this move, he heard a voice.
"Hey…"
Vivian, supported by Tashigi, came to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo stopped his actions and looked at Vivian.
"Everyone take a step back," Vivian said. "Release all the civilians here, and I will pretend that today's events never happened."
Doflamingo: ???
Tashigi: ???
All the Navy marine officer: ???
"Pretend it never happened?"
Everyone was stunned, including Doflamingo himself, thinking Vivian was joking.
But who knew, Vivian nodded seriously and said, "Captain Smoker's investigation of the 'underground world' in Dressrosa is well known to the high ranks of Navy Headquarters. If we die here, not only will your Shichibukai title be revoked, but your reign as the king of Dressrosa will also end."
"Is that so?"
Doflamingo smiled.
He thought, killing you might waste all my efforts over the years.
But… if Sugar turns you all into toys, then no one will know you existed, right?
Just as this thought crossed Doflamingo's mind, Vivian continued, "Also, if you plan to use Sugar to turn us all into toys, I advise you to give up that idea."
"Because, I have already taken control of the palace."
