"Fufufufufu, it seems we need to take emergency measures."
Inside the room, Doflamingo lay there, his body still smiling, while behind the severed-legged swordsman, the complete Doflamingo reappeared, raising his foot but failing to kick the swordsman with the broken leg.
He looked down and revealed his usual wicked grin: "Straw Hat Boy!"
The man wearing the straw hat protected Cyrus.
As he spoke, he raised his hand, his five fingers wrapped in thread. At the same time, the headless clone stood up, raised one hand, and grabbed at the straw hat boy below.
Bang!
A cloud of dust burst forth from the ground.
Luffy, carrying the one-legged swordsman, flew out from the dust and crashed into the wall.
"Did you dodge it? *sniffle*..."
Doflamingo chuckled: "Pica."
Rumble...
The ground began to shake, undulating like waves. A stone figure emerged from the ground, and two hands appeared, grabbing the straw hat and the others, and then disappearing into the ground.
“Fufufufu, King Riku... no, Riku Dold III.”
Doflamingo grinned maliciously, looked at King Riku, the only one who hadn't been shrunk into the ground, and said softly, "Let's relive the scene from ten years ago."
"you want..."
King Riku's pupils contracted, and as if realizing something, his face turned deathly pale. "No! You can't! Doflamingo, please, don't do this!"
"Fufufufu, this isn't my fault."
Doflamingo laughed, looking up. "It's all your fault! If you hadn't interfered, I wouldn't have been forced to do this. Sugar actually fainted! Ten years of hard work, all gone in an instant! I had no choice..."
"Doflamingo..."
Before King Riku could finish speaking, the stone arm clenched tightly, silencing him.
"Just watch closely. Ten years ago it was just small-scale stuff. This time, I'm going to get serious!"
Doflamingo stretched out his five fingers, and numerous lines shot out from the neck of the line clone, heading straight into the sky.
"Let me show you what hell is like!"
"That won't do."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side.
Doflamingo was startled and turned to look.
Kuro was seen leading Lida slowly toward them.
“Your ability still needs some limitations,” Kuro said as he walked over, a cigar dangling from his lips.
Gladius instinctively took a step back, sweat beading on his forehead, and exclaimed in surprise, "Golden Lion?!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Doflamingo paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Hey, Kuro, do you know what my power is?"
I've heard a little about it.
Kuro looked up at the fire that had shot into the sky and was spreading outwards, like a brilliant white firework.
"In short, whether it's pirates, soldiers, or officials, do whatever you want with them, but as for the navy and civilians, it's best not to put your 'parasite thread' on them."
"Fufufufu, I don't have that kind of precise control. Besides, I am the king of Dressrosa. I am free to do what I want. You are just a marine, Kuro."
Doflamingo said, "Don't think I'm really afraid of you! I'm still a Shichibukai. If you're a Marine, you have no right to tell me what to do!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Kuro lowered his eyes, squatted down, and pressed his palm on the ground.
As if a gentle breeze were blowing, the wind swept through everyone present and spread throughout Dressrosa.
“I don’t really have the authority to stop you, but I am a navy officer after all, and saving civilians is my duty. If you, the ‘King,’ don’t agree, then I’ll find a way myself.”
"Of course, if something strange happens, like civilians suddenly running out of your range and spreading rumors, then I won't be responsible."
Kuro said, "It's your business how you mess things up, but it's best not to put too much pressure on the civilians."
"Hey, aren't you afraid I'll kick you out?!"
Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, but he remained frozen in place.
Step down?
Impossible. If you were to do that, I would thank your ancestors for eight generations.
Seeing Kuro's confident and fearless expression, Doflamingo gritted his teeth and said:
"Tch, I see... For your sake, I won't use Parasite String on civilians and the Navy. But keep an eye on your new admiral, that guy's spouting nonsense about abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Fufufufu, is your Navy's balance going to be broken by a new recruit?"
"Our internal affairs are none of your concern."
Kuro stood up, put on a smile, and patted Doflamingo on the shoulder.
"As long as you give me face, I'm quite easy to talk to. My principle is that if I don't see something, I won't get involved. After all, there are unlucky people everywhere in this world, and my abilities are limited, so I can't manage everything. But if I see something, I'll still do what I can to help, since I'm in the Navy."
“Yes, our Kuro is quite easy to talk to. Hey, maid, the food I ate earlier is dirty, could you go and get me some more?” Lida said to Baby-5, who was standing to the side.
"Huh? Me? Yes! Okay!"
Baby-5 excitedly ran off, happily saying, "I feel needed again~"
"Navy, you..."
King Riku stared blankly at Clow Reed. This man, single-handedly, had made that terrifying guy retract the way the Birdcage was used.
