Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

But little did they know, Doflamingo had already prepared a backup plan.

He secretly used his String-String Fruit powers to create a birdcage over several years, which was like a huge death trap that locked up the entire nation in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, it is continuously shrinking internally.

"Haha, now the whole of Dressrosa is a giant cage. It's either you die or I die! This terrifying game has only just begun!"

Doflamingo's maniacal and arrogant laughter rang out again, echoing throughout Dressrosa and sending chills down everyone's spines.

Doflamingo issued bounties for Luffy and 13 others, arrogantly promising, "The game will end once all 13 are captured!"

Luffy, Law, and Zoro didn't care about any of that; they only wanted to head towards the palace where Doflamingo was.

But they hadn't gone far when they were surrounded like a pack of hungry wolves by Donquixote Family executives Machbais, Señor Pick, Dellinger, and a group of ruthless pirates who wanted the bounty.

Just as they were getting into the middle of their fight, Fujitora suddenly appeared.

Luffy and Zoro didn't care who their opponents were; if they were blocking their way, then they would fight!

The three then engaged in a fierce battle.

Luffy's rubber powers were put to full use in the battle.

One moment she stretches out her arm to launch a sneak attack on Fujitora, the next she jumps up to dodge Fujitora's attacks.

Zoro was not to be outdone, wielding his three swords with great skill, and the sound of sparks flying as the swords struck the ground could be heard from time to time.

Just as the battle was in progress, a sudden, violent earthquake shook the earth, as if the whole world was about to be shattered.

It turns out that the silent top cadre, Pika, is finally going to show his skills.

A gigantic figure slowly rose up, its power seemingly capable of destroying the entire town, inspiring despair in all who beheld it.

"No, everyone, be careful!"

Luffy shouted, his voice filled with tension and anxiety.

The building transformed into a giant fist that hurtled straight toward Luffy and his crew.

Its speed was like lightning; Luffy and his crew were almost crushed by the enormous Pica.

Just when everyone thought it was all over, the warriors who had fought to the death in the arena appeared.

To thank Usopp for turning them back into humans from toy slaves, they all gathered around Luffy.

"Lucy, we're here to help you!"

A soldier shouted, his voice filled with determination and gratitude.

Thus began the great offensive of the powerful group aimed at defeating Doflamingo.

Luffy led this army of monsters on a march toward the royal palace.

But Pica's enormous fist fell mercilessly, blocking their path like a mountain.

"Damn it, how come this big guy is so hard to deal with!"

As Luffy spoke, his brow furrowed as he pondered a solution.

Just when everyone thought Pica's overwhelming attack would wipe them out, Luffy's ultimate move finally erupted.

"Rubber Rubber Pegasus Titan Superstar!"

Luffy shouted, and his arm instantly became enormous, as if gathering the power of the entire world, and smashed it towards Pica's fist.

At the same time, Zoro realized something was wrong and began searching for his true self.

Zoro focused his cosmos and unleashed his full Observation Haki.

The three knives in his hands seemed to come alive, constantly searching for Pica's weaknesses.

"The Ultimate Technique of the Three-Sword Style - One Great Three Thousand Great Worlds!"

Zoro roared, and three huge sword energies flew towards Pica, their momentum seemingly capable of tearing the entire sky apart.

"Did we still let him escape?"

Then, the shoulders of the giant that the town had transformed into collapsed in an instant, half of them falling off.

……

Meanwhile, seeing that Usopp had successfully caused chaos, Franky prepared to go and continue his mission to destroy the factory.

But he hadn't gone far when Señor Pique blocked his way.

Under the Donquixote Family's elaborate ambush, Luffy is advancing towards the royal palace in order to defeat Doflamingo.

Without the obstruction of the top executive Pica, Luffy and his crew swept through the enemy forces that stood in their way, defeating them decisively.

However, the navy led by Fujitora also began to pursue them.

Just as the Navy was about to approach Luffy and his crew, a man stood alone in front of them.

"Another dimension."

With a snap of his fingers, Fanny and the two disappeared without a trace.

……

Chapter 136 Ace vs. CP0, Draco Sabo defeats Jack in a one-on-one fight.

In the alternate dimension, Fanny wore a cynical smile.

Looking at the slightly hunched but imposing old man in front of him, he couldn't help but give him a polite smile.

"Hey, old man Fujitora, how have you been lately?"

As he spoke, he shook the gourd in his hand and handed it over.

Upon hearing this, Fujitora smiled faintly, slowly sat down cross-legged, and steadily took the gourd of sake from his hand.

"Thanks to you, I've been losing even more since my eyes got better."

In truth, Fujitora knew that this victory or defeat was nothing but fleeting smoke.

What he wanted was the process.

Anyway, it wasn't his money that was lost.

Such banter, however, added a touch of lightness to the tense and oppressive situation.

He gently shook the gourd, listening to the sound of the wine sloshing inside.

He thought to himself, "It's a pity that dry noodles aren't very interesting. It would be perfect if there were some snacks to go with the drinks."

Fanny seemed to have seen through Fujitora's thoughts.

As if by magic, he took out several bags of dried meat and peanuts that Sanji had carefully made from his spatial ring and handed them over.

He couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark: "Anyway, the World Government will cover the costs, so what's the rush?"

Fujitora took the jerky and peanuts, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.

The two old friends, in this alternate dimension, listened to the faint sounds of battle coming from outside and idly drank some drinks.

Fujitora chewed on some jerky, took a sip of sake, and asked.

"That's true. How much longer do you plan to hold me back? If it goes on too long, my marines will get impatient."

Fanny shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"It's alright, I've arranged everything. We'll go out once Luffy and Doflamingo start fighting."

Fujitora pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Alright."

Yes, Fanny had already contacted Fujitora, a man with a strong sense of justice, and had thoughtfully healed his eyes.

In Fanny's words, if you have a sense of justice, why not open your eyes and see the world?

On the other side, Guernica looked at Ace, who was blocking her way, with disdain.

"Gol D. Ace, the Phoenix Saint? Do you know how unwise it was to intercept CP0?"

In his eyes, Ace was nothing more than a Bronze Saint, the lowest rank among the Saints.

If it weren't for Garp and the Sanctuary's protection, he probably would have followed in his brother's footsteps.

Even if I ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, so what? I can just conveniently get rid of it.

You have to understand, I'm a veteran CP0 member, someone who dares to go head-to-head with even a Navy Admiral!

Ace stared intently at Guernica, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and then heard him say in a very lazy tone.

"I'm simply standing in the position of an older brother, not wanting my younger brother's battle to be interfered with."

Guernica didn't want to waste any more words; his mission was to keep Doflamingo alive.

But such a great achievement cannot be easily overlooked.

Then he suddenly shouted: "Finger gun? Explode!"

His finger instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, shooting towards Ace at incredible speed.

The speed was so fast that it was almost invisible; the air seemed to be torn apart by the sharp finger gun, making a "sizzling" sound.

Upon seeing this, Ace's eyes sharpened, and he activated his skill without hesitation: "Phoenix Wing Soaring!"

In an instant, raging flames rose up around him, coalescing into a giant flaming phoenix.

The phoenix was engulfed in blazing flames, each feather like a burning blade, and it lunged at Guernica with a destructive force.

The flames were extremely hot, and the surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the heat.

Guernica was startled as she watched the enormous, fiery phoenix rushing towards her.

But being an experienced CP0 player, he quickly regained his composure and swiftly activated his skill: "Storm Kick? Sever!"

His leg kicked out quickly, sending crescent-shaped blades of energy slashing towards the Fiery Phoenix.

The air blade collided with the phoenix, producing a series of violent explosions, sparks flying, and waves of heat rolling in.

Meanwhile, on the port side, "Drought" Jack stood at the bow of the Mammoth, his face full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

He simply couldn't understand why his boss would give such an order, making him personally go and meet that clown Doflamingo.

Just as he was full of complaints, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Lushan? Hundred Dragon Overlord!"

Jack instinctively looked up and saw countless dragons that looked almost identical to his boss Kaido, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on him.
