Centered on the two, a fierce gale arose in all directions, even blowing away the shattered Sea of Shadows.
A glint of light flashed in the Abyss Mask's pupils. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, perceiving the threads that make up the world, made Yang Ming realize the unusual thing about Doflamingo's body: it was entirely made up of countless threads.
Ordinary people rarely fight against powerful pirates like the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Those who have fought against Doflamingo are usually dead, so the outside world has no way of knowing his background.
But Yang Ming was different; he was quite familiar with Doflamingo's abilities.
This is the Shadow Rider route!
Doflamingo possesses exceptional talent and an imagination beyond the reach of ordinary people. After developing the String-String Fruit to its fullest extent, he developed a technique that allows him to coil the fine threads he creates into a humanoid clone. This clone not only shares the same vision as the original but can also use all of the original's abilities, achieving a level of realism that is indistinguishable from the real thing.
It must be said that Doflamingo is a truly cunning and treacherous person.
Perhaps even the family officials who came with him didn't realize the true identity of this Shadow Rider?
To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people!
Such reflection can happen in the blink of an eye.
"It...it was blocked?"
Buffalo arrived late, carrying several family officials. He was so exhausted that he knelt down as soon as he landed, supporting himself on his hands. Looking at the scene unfolding not far ahead, he could not accept that his young master, who had always been omnipotent in his eyes, was unable to avenge Miss Monet.
As their Conqueror's Haki clashed, Buffalo and Baby-5, being weaker, felt a wave of weakness wash over them, and they nearly fainted.
Trafalgar Law crossed his arms over his forehead, his feet shoulder-width apart. As the fierce wind blew, his deerskin boots scraped violently against the ground, leaving a five-meter-long scorch mark on the ground as he was pushed backward, and a burnt smell emanated from the soles of his boots.
"very scary!"
"Is this the pinnacle of combat power on this vast ocean?"
Figures like the Four Emperors and the Admirals of the Marine Headquarters are far removed from Trafalgar Law's life. In his mind, the young master is already one of the very elite at the top of the pyramid, invincible in the past, and has never encountered such a formidable opponent as he has today.
Gladius put his hands in his pockets, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
"Just as the rumors said, this person possesses the qualities of a king!"
While everyone's attention was drawn to the domineering clash, several parasitic lines, barely perceptible to the naked eye, like venomous snakes lurking in the grass, finally seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and suddenly revealed their true nature.
Parasite threads are a terrifying ability. Once injected into a human body, it is very difficult to break free from their control, turning one into a puppet in Doflamingo's hands, allowing him to manipulate one's fate.
Of course, if a cultivator of domineering aura reaches a high level of proficiency, they can ignore such attacks.
Yang Ming's training in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki is still relatively short, so he naturally didn't want to be ambushed by Doflamingo. Suddenly, the shadow beneath his feet opened up, and shadow spikes covered with eyeballs and sharp teeth blocked Yang Ming's path, protecting him from the attack of the Parasite Threads.
At the same time, using the shadow spikes to block Doflamingo's vision, Yang Ming's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
flash!
The opportunity was fleeting. In the blink of an eye, Yang Ming appeared behind the Shadow Rider clone. He clenched his right fist again and, with lightning speed, unleashed a powerful punch that exploded with a sonic boom, striking the target's head!
In that instant, time seemed to stand still.
Buffalo and Baby-5 covered their mouths with their hands, almost letting out a scream.
Thanks to the tearing apart of the Sea of Shadows, Pica had just escaped from the black hole vortex when he suddenly saw this scene. His pupils shrank abruptly to the size of needles as a gigantic stone hand, as if blotting out the sky, descended from the heavens, attempting to save the young master's safety.
Gladius raised his arms again, stubbornly unleashing a barrage of gray stone bombs even though he knew his attacks might not cause much damage to an opponent of Yang Ming's caliber.
To avoid revealing his true intentions, Trafalgar Law flipped his right palm downwards and gave a soft shout:
"Slaughterhouse!"
A peculiar space, like a translucent rice bowl turned upside down on the ground, formed a domain unique to the user of the Op-Op Fruit.
At this moment, the Don Quixote family was reunited like never before.
Unfortunately, it's useless!
"boom!"
The head of the Shadow Knight clone was blown off!
Along with the sound of the explosion came Yang Ming's somewhat indifferent voice.
"Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish; this is the will of Heaven!"
However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred!
Instead of a bloody mess appearing on his head after it was blown apart, thousands of threads suddenly shot out from his severed neck, bursting out with a force that shot straight into the sky, instantly transforming into a small birdcage that imprisoned Yang Ming in this area!
Chapter 92 Silent Fear, Taking Control of the Whole Situation
The changes on the battlefield are so rapid that they are dazzling.
Just a second ago, the Don Quixote family's executives had just seen their young master's head smashed open with a single punch.
But in the next instant, the gap in the headless neck became like a volcano, suddenly spewing out thousands of threads. The shadow rider's clone gradually disappeared, and the threads in the sky turned into a meteor shower, falling down to form a small birdcage, trapping Yang Ming inside.
Trafalgar Law had initially intended to slack off, but seeing that the enemy had only managed to destroy one of the young master's clones after fighting for so long, he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and dared not continue to slack off. He quickly drew his famous sword, Ghost Cry, from his waist, preparing to attack the enemy trapped in the birdcage.
"God willing?"
A series of eerie laughs came from the depths of the forest, interrupting Trafalgar Law's preparations.
Doflamingo himself, hands in his pockets, strode out with an air of arrogance, gazing at the solitary figure within the birdcage, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said:
"You think you're qualified to talk to me about destiny?"
Seeing that Doflamingo was alright, the family executives seemed to have found their pillar of support again and gathered around Doflamingo.
Buffalo, with tears streaming down his face, sobbed:
"Young Master, it's so good that you're alright!"
A hint of fear flickered in Trafalgar Law's eyes as he thought to himself:
"As expected of the young master, he is as resourceful as ever. Could it be that he has already predicted that the enemy will fall into the bird's nest?"
Thinking this through, Trafalgar Law felt a jolt, secretly wondering if his performance had been noticed by Doflamingo and if he had shown any disloyalty.
After thinking for a long time, Trafalgar Law realized that Doflamingo was not paying attention to him, and he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. He felt a chill down his spine and secretly touched his back, finding his hands covered in cold sweat.
"Fortunately, I have been familiar with 'An Actor Prepares' since I was a child, and I did not show any intention of betrayal from beginning to end."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would already be in grave danger by now!"
Doflamingo stood outside the birdcage, watching countless shadows emerge from beneath Yang Ming's feet, attempting to escape but all being blocked by the threads that made up the cage. He sneered:
"Don't waste your energy anymore. Once you're in the birdcage, there's no way you can escape."
"Next, just wait patiently for Kaido of the Beasts to arrive, and your life will come to an end."
"Well then, as someone who claims to be the successor to the will of Lox, I'm now giving you a choice."
"Either accept me as your dog!"
"Either you die!"
Doflamingo returned Yang Ming's words verbatim, his eyes fixed on Yang Ming, as if trying to see through the ancient and worn Abyss Mask to his fearful and uneasy appearance.
Of course, Doflamingo had the confidence to say those words.
The birdcage is an enhanced version of the parasitic thread, possessing both powerful attack and manipulation capabilities. Once trapped inside, escape is not easy.
Meanwhile, within an hour of the birdcage being used, it will gradually close up, and the countless densely spliced threads are enough to cut everything in its path into shreds.
Unfortunately, Yang Ming was not as incompetent as he thought. He was merely using the illusion of struggling in the shadows to deceive his opponent, thereby passing the cooldown of his Flash skill, while also focusing some of his attention on the system prompts.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
"Yes!"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.
Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.
Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...
Equipment and items: Hextech Belt, Righteous Glory, Twin Shadows, Trinity Force, Boots of Speed...
Hero Skins: Future Warrior, Steel Wings, Lu Bu (Fengxian), Champion's Blade...
[Silent Fear]: Implants a nightmare into the target's brain, continuously inflicting mental damage on the enemy for 2 seconds. If the target remains in the shadows, they will fall into a state of fear.
Yang Ming had already used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to see through the true identity of the Shadow Riders. It was within his expectations that they had fallen into the Bird's Nest, and that he was going to trick Doflamingo out from behind the scenes.
While the Shadow Riders and the real Doflamingo cannot be too far apart, the exact distance between them is unknown to outsiders; only Doflamingo himself knows.
If the String-String Fruit user were within sight of Doflamingo, and if the Shadow Rider Strings could maintain contact with the real Doflamingo, then if Yang Ming showed any unusual behavior, it might cause Doflamingo to worry about his life and flee Dressrosa Island.
In that case, it would be extremely difficult for Yang Ming to find Doflamingo again.
After all, Doflamingo still has the Donquixote Family as a bond. If his family members are killed or injured in this place, he will be all alone and will have no scruples. If he wants to hide in anonymity, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack for Yang Ming to find him in the vast ocean.
Yang Ming and Doflamingo were scheming against each other, which is naturally not something outsiders can know.
This kind of intellectual scheming without the smoke of gunpowder is often less exciting than a physical fight, but it is more cruel than a knife wound.
Seeing that Yang Ming did not do as he wished, Doflamingo felt uneasy again for some reason.
Those who cultivate the aura of sight and hearing often possess qualities that set them apart from ordinary people.
A strong intuition reminded Doflamingo that something seemed amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Before leaving, Doflamingo received a hunch, which led him to create the Shadow Rider Line. His main body was in the dark, while his clone was in the light, using both to scheme against Yang Ming and achieve his own goals.
In fact, Doflamingo's intuition was indeed very accurate.
The person before him was so strong that he could probably be ranked among the top 100 on this sea. Doflamingo, despite his own strength, did not have enough confidence to completely defeat Yang Ming. Naturally, he planned to wait for Kaido of the Beasts to arrive and use Kaido's sharp blade to eliminate this uncertain threat.
But now, his intuition is prompting him again, making Doflamingo somewhat hesitant.
Out of the corner of his eye, Doflamingo caught sight of a boy wearing a leopard-spotted hat not far away. He smiled slightly and beckoned to Trafalgar Law with his finger.
"Luo, come here for a second and take the heart out of that guy in the birdcage."
Trafalgar Law strolled over, his face expressionless, meticulously following his young master's orders, holding the famous sword Ghost Cry in his hand, ready to harm Yang Ming from afar.
Trafalgar Law is a Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit user. Within a specific space he creates, he can freely divide and combine any parts. Even after his fruit power awakens, he possesses the Immortality Surgery, which can grant humans eternal life.
Once the immortality surgery is performed, the person with the ability will die.
For this reason, the Op-Op Fruit is also known as the ultimate Devil Fruit, with a value far exceeding that of ordinary Devil Fruits. It once fetched a sky-high price of 50 billion Berries at an auction.
