Previously, Trafalgar Law had already opened the slaughterhouse space, originally intending to just put on a show and slack off from the perspective of the other family cadres. But now, he had no choice but to go for it, as the young master was watching him closely, leaving Trafalgar Law with no option but to risk his life.

Otherwise, he would no longer be able to keep up the act of being a loyal subject of the Don Quixote family!

Trafalgar Law glanced at the figure in the birdcage and thought to himself:

"You can only blame yourself for messing with the wrong person."

"Scalpel!"

Trafalgar Law gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his right hand, which had never touched a drop of water. Just as Trafalgar Law was about to thrust forward with his famous sword, Oni-Ku, he was struck dumb, his body stiffening on the spot.

In that instant, Yang Ming immediately activated the effect of Silent Fear, implanting a nightmare into Trafalgar Law's mind.

The deepest fears hidden in Trafalgar Law's memory surged forth, and those images he least wanted to recall manifested as a profound nightmare, making him feel as if he were actually there.

Rosinandi's seemingly unserious face came into view. He lay in a pool of blood, his limbs weakly crawling towards Trafalgar Law across the snow. He weakly raised his mangled hand, and between the opening and closing of his cracked lips, a faint sound of surprise could be heard coming from his mouth:

"Luo, you weren't scared, were you?"

Fragmented memories transform into distorted nightmares, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, leaving Trafalgar Law unable to distinguish truth from falsehood.

It wasn't until a violent tremor came from outside that Trafalgar Law covered his swollen cheek, collapsed to his knees, his body limp, his eyes revealing struggle and confusion.

Doflamingo withdrew his hand from Trafalgar Law's face, frowned at his pathetic state, then abruptly turned to look at the shadowy figure within the birdcage, and said coldly:

"Are you up to something?"

Trafalgar Law was adopted by the Donquixote Family from a young age and was personally taught by Doflamingo, who was grooming him to be the next leader of the Hearts.

The relationship between Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law is like that of a father, a brother, a teacher, and a friend.

Doflamingo knew Trafalgar Law's personality very well; even if he were to be chopped into pieces, Trafalgar Law would never show any weakness.

Yang Ming chuckled softly, extending a hand towards Doflamingo from afar, and said in an inscrutable tone:

"Want to taste the nightmare?"

The next moment, everything went black before Doflamingo's eyes.

Chapter 93 Why do you think captive birds cannot soar freely in the sky?

"here it is……"

When Doflamingo opened his eyes again, the dilapidated house he had never wanted to recall came into view. A candle lamp sat on the simple table, and the flickering candlelight reflected on the moldy walls, casting a shadow that looked like a demon.

A pale-faced woman lay on the hospital bed, barely breathing. Her face, which bore a resemblance to Doflamingo, showed a look of compassion. She weakly raised her withered arm, and from her white jade-like fingers, one could barely tell that this was once a hand that had never done any strenuous work.

"Ming, don't resent your father. Take good care of Nandi for me and don't let him be bullied by others."

After the woman finished speaking as if in a final burst of energy, her jade-like hand, which had been raised in mid-air, went limp and was about to fall.

Doflamingo took three steps at a time and tried to grab the jade hand that haunted his dreams.

But the moment his fingertips touched her hand, everything before him shattered into countless fragments of memory. His mother's figure on the sickbed vanished, replaced by a face that Doflamingo desperately wanted to avoid.

Don Quixote Homing had a sharp blade stuck in his chest, his clothes stained crimson with blood. His face, which was filled with disbelief, gradually transformed into a complex mix of emotions the moment he saw Doflamingo: helplessness, frustration, regret, and guilt, but no resentment.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bad father."

The raging fire destroyed the dilapidated hut that was etched into the depths of my memory.

The shadowy figures of villagers filled the field of vision. These ragged villagers held tinderboxes, and their pale faces, illuminated by the towering flames, revealed extreme disgust and hatred for the nobles in their eyes.

They lacked the courage to confront the high-ranking nobles and Celestial Dragons, but they had plenty of courage to deal with a down-on-his-luck Celestial Dragon child.

"burn!"

"Burn him!"

In the heat of the moment, the villagers seemed to have become the embodiment of justice.

Doflamingo stared at the small figure bound to the wooden frame, pressed a large hand against his face, looked up at the dark night at a 45-degree angle, and his mouth gradually stretched to his ears, emitting a series of arrogant and strange laughs.

"Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, do you think that showing me these things will shake my will?"

An astonishing aura of Conqueror's Haki emanated from Doflamingo, causing the nightmare's fabricated scene to crack inch by inch.

The raging fire, the hundreds of villagers, and the town shrouded in night gradually lost their original colors.

The fresh air of Dressrosa filled their chests once more, and the warm sunshine dispelled the chill. Under the azure sky, Doflamingo clenched his fists, his fingertips digging into his flesh, and glistening drops of blood dripped from his tiger's mouth as he walked step by step toward the caged bird.

"A weakling who clings to the suffering of others will only bring about his own destruction!"

Doflamingo cracked his wrists, producing a series of popping sounds like popping beans, his face etched with a lingering, sinister killing intent.

"I was originally planning to leave you to Kaido of the Beasts to deal with, but now I've changed my mind!"

Fine threads shot from the tips of his ten fingers, connecting to a small birdcage. Under Doflamingo's skillful control, the small birdcage began to narrow its encirclement, gradually compressing Yang Ming's living space.

The seemingly thin silk threads that make up the small birdcage actually plowed a three-centimeter-deep groove in the ground. If this were to fall on a human body, even a strong person who has practiced Armament Haki would suffer unimaginable pain.

Doflamingo stared at the unmoving figure in the birdcage, the nightmare of silent fear still lingering. He seemed to be speaking, or perhaps talking to himself, as he grinned maliciously:

"In this world, more than 90% of people are ignorant. They are mediocre but crave wealth and power. Once they cannot get what they want, they start to complain and blame others. They always think that their failure is the fault of the Celestial Dragons and nobles. If they hadn't monopolized most of the wealth and power in this world, they would definitely have been able to make a name for themselves with their own hands."

Little did they know that what these people longed for was nothing more than food for caged birds.

"Wealth, fame, status, power, women—these things are simply not important!"

"Only strength is the true path to victory!"

At Doflamingo's shout, the small birdcage closed up rapidly.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Yang Ming's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared outside the small birdcage.

flash!

The Flash skill has a cooldown of five minutes and a movement distance of only a hundred meters. It may seem useless in the late game, but that is a big misconception.

Yang Ming had already discovered that Flash was a rather rare spatial skill, with a short-duration teleportation comparable to the speed of light, and its uses were very wide-ranging.

Seeing Yang Ming easily break free from the small birdcage, Doflamingo's pupils suddenly contracted, and he secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

Doflamingo originally thought that the opponent's ability to disappear in a short moment was a very rare movement technique.

Logically speaking, even the fastest bird will be useless once it falls into a cage.

But it's clear that this time the birdcage doesn't hold ordinary birds, but a ferocious dragon that doesn't follow any predictable patterns!

It's too late to say anything now. Doflamingo slammed his five fingers into a palm and slammed them onto the ground.

"Big wave and white line!"

A magical scene happened.

Starting from Doflamingo's palm, the surrounding ground and forest trees instantly transformed into millions of fine white threads. Countless white threads converged into surging white waves, the height of which was comparable to the stone giant that Pica had transformed into. The white waves, tens of meters high, carried the momentum of a raging storm and surged down towards Yang Ming.

Each silver thread here is far stronger than a steel wire, capable of easily cutting a wall in half. The white waves formed by so many white threads already possess the terrifying power to submerge an entire island in an instant.

This is the characteristic of fruit awakening!

In addition to their original abilities, Devil Fruits can awaken when the user develops them to their fullest potential.

Devil Fruits are products born from human desires. When a strong person's mind and body are highly compatible with a Devil Fruit, they will break through the original constraints and create a new world.

Generally speaking, after a Zoan-type Devil Fruit awakens, the user will possess a physique stronger than humans and vitality and regenerative abilities comparable to monsters. However, if the user's humanity cannot suppress their animalistic nature, allowing the animalistic nature to take over the body, they will become a monster devoid of human intelligence.

The awakening of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits is quite different; it depends not on internal factors, but on external ones.

After Doflamingo awakened his String-String Fruit, he was able to influence things outside himself, turning everything around him into strings that he could control.

Of course, whether the law of conservation of energy and the laws of matter transformation are involved is unknown.

For example, water is composed of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. When water is boiled and turns into steam, it seems that its form has undergone a huge change, transforming from a liquid into a gas. However, in reality, the composition has not changed.

If the awakening of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits also follows the laws of material transformation, it means that the land and trees transformed by Doflamingo are actually just presented in another form, and their internal components have not undergone any essential change.

Perhaps, hidden within the awakening of the fruit lies the secret of the disappearance of that legendary, enormous kingdom.

"All living beings are like birds in a cage."

Doflamingo smiled wildly, his eyes already filled with icy coldness.

"Even the original Lox D. Giebeck was just a relatively robust bird in the cage; the one who truly stood outside the cage was someone else."

Ordinary people would probably think Doflamingo was talking nonsense, but only Yang Ming knew that he was talking about someone else, probably the Lord Im who stands on the Void Throne.

Yang Ming stomped his foot on the ground, and the sticky shadow transformed into a shadow wall that blocked the white line of the giant wave.

However, the shadow wall that could withstand the Super Whip only lasted for three seconds in front of the giant wave white line before collapsing with a roar.

The giant white waves, like an angry strike from a bird feeder, carried a devastating force that could change the very fabric of the world.

Yang Ming did not stop. He clenched his fist, covered his right fist with Armament Haki, and wrapped it with Conqueror's Haki. From a perspective that ordinary people could not see, there were also traces of electric arcs stimulating his right arm, which made Yang Ming gain a bit more strength.

"Thunder gossip!"

His right fist slammed into the white waves that resembled a giant wall, creating ripples that spread out in concentric circles.

The scattered, fine white hairs fell on Yang Ming's body, cutting through the fine bloodstains like sharp blades, crisscrossing and leaving him covered in wounds, his whole body bathed in blood.

The injury appeared severe, but it did not break any bones.

Yang Ming took a deep breath, his Flame Breath causing his blood to boil. The power contained in his bloodline factors permeated his limbs and meridians, making him fearless of the difficulties and dangers before him. He mustered all his strength and punched a gap in the white line of the giant wave. Facing Doflamingo's incredulous gaze, he punched him in the cheek with undiminished force.

Doflamingo's figure flew backward, crashing into more than a dozen towering trees that were as thick as five people could hug before finally coming to a stop.

The iron fist was stained with crimson blood, some of it Yang Ming's own, and some of Doflamingo's.

Yang Ming exhaled a hot breath, gazing at the figure rising again from the rubble, and said coldly:

Why do you think captive birds cannot soar freely in the sky?

"It's because the birdcage doesn't belong to it."

Chapter 94 Killing Doflamingo

"strong enough!"

Doflamingo raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth; one side of his cheek was bruised and swollen.

If he hadn't been covered with a high density of Armament Haki in time, he would probably have ended up like the Shadow Rider clone, getting his head blown off by Yang Ming's punch.

"Foot shave line!"
