Sailing: I was falsely accused of watching Nami bathe, but I'm blind.

“In that case,” Fujitora nodded, slowly raising the cane-sword in his hand, “then please ask Lord Joker (who actually knows Doflamingo’s underground codename?) to wait a moment.”

Let me... deal with this 'trouble' first.

"

Having said that, Fujitora no longer hesitated!

An invisible, mountain-like gravitational field instantly unfolded! It pressed down heavily on Trafalgar Law!

"Damn it!" Luo's expression changed drastically! He immediately tried to activate the ROOM to teleport!

But Fujitora's gravity was just too strong! That terrifying force, which seemed to be able to crush space itself, not only greatly restricted his speed of movement, but even... his invincible spatial abilities seemed to be interfered with by this powerful gravitational field, becoming sluggish and unstable!

Luo could only roll and dodge awkwardly on the ground, barely managing to avoid the terrifying gravity that felt like Mount Tai pressing down on him! He was completely caught in a passive and defensive situation!

Kai observed calmly from the side.

He meticulously analyzed Fujitora's fighting style—a unique style that didn't rely on direct attacks, but rather on manipulating gravity to restrict, oppress, and even crush opponents! And... Fujitora's seemingly casual yet incredibly sophisticated use of Haki!

At the same time, he was also observing Doflamingo's reaction.

He noticed that although Doflamingo appeared to be watching the show, his eyes, hidden behind sunglasses (in his perception), constantly gleamed with calculation! Moreover... he seemed to be secretly gathering power, ready to... deliver a fatal blow to Law or... Fujitora at the most opportune moment?

Kai realized that behind this seemingly simple "naval arrest of pirates" drama lay a far more complex and dangerous game! Fujitora-senpai... seemed to be using the pretext of "arresting Law" to probe Doflamingo's background and attitude? At the same time... was he also abiding by some kind of... "unwritten rule" within the Navy or the World Government (not to act arbitrarily against the Seven Warlords of the Sea without solid evidence and authorization)?

This battle is far more complex than it appears on the surface!

Just as Trafalgar Law was being suppressed by Fujitora's terrifying gravity to the point of almost being unable to breathe, and was about to be completely captured!

Admiral Fujitora suddenly... made a move that surprised everyone!

He slowly raised his head and looked with his unseen eyes toward... the distant sky!

Then, he gently... pointed the cane-knife in his hand towards the sky!

"Gravity Blade..."

A gravitational wave... far greater, more terrifying, and even carrying a hint of...destruction than ever before, instantly emanated from Fujitora and was released in reverse direction towards the sky!

Kai's "Mind Network" jolted! He clearly sensed something! High above the clouds in the distant sky! Something... extremely large and extremely heavy, seemed to be being forcibly... pulled down from outer space by Fujitora's reverse gravity!

what is that? !

Everyone instinctively looked up (except Kai) and gazed at the sky!

Then... they saw... a terrifying, apocalyptic scene that they would never forget!

A massive meteorite... ablaze with flames, trailing a long tail, resembling a mythical doomsday star... was actually summoned down from outer space by Fujitora! And... it was hurtling towards their Greenbit Forest at an astonishing speed!

"A fierce tiger!!!"

Accompanied by Fujitora's deep, authoritative roar, the enormous meteorite, powerful enough to level the entire Greenbit Island, crashed down with the force of a tiger descending a mountain, carrying a devastating impact!

"Are you... joking?!" Trafalgar Law stared at the ever-growing, burning fireball in the sky, his face revealing for the first time... genuine, heartfelt fear and horror! He had no doubt! If hit by this meteorite, not only him, but even one of the Four Emperors would likely be severely injured!

Even Doflamingo, who had always appeared nonchalant and as if he had everything under control, froze in his smile the moment he saw the massive meteorite falling from the sky! A rare hint of solemnity and...madness flashed in his eyes!

"Fufufu...you've really gotten me into a lot of trouble, Fujitora!!!" Doflamingo let out a strange, unintelligible laugh! Then...he suddenly opened his arms wide!

Countless… almost invisible to the naked eye, yet incredibly strong and gleaming with a dangerous light, erupted from his body like a spiderweb! They intertwined, coiled, and coalesced in mid-air, forming a… colossal white spiderweb covering hundreds of meters in radius!

"Birdcage (Field of Threads)!!!"

Doflamingo actually... wanted to use his seemingly delicate 4460-degree threads to forcefully... cut through that giant meteorite falling from the sky?!

Kai witnessed everything clearly from the side, and was filled with unprecedented shock!

·0 requests for flowers········

Fujitora-senpai... he can actually... summon meteorites?! This godlike power! It's simply... inconceivable! Inconceivable!!!

And Doflamingo... actually dared to... use his threads to cut a meteorite?! His String-String Fruit ability and Armament Haki have become so powerful?!

boom--! ! !

Just as Kai was in shock! The massive burning meteorite finally... collided violently with Doflamingo's seemingly fragile white spiderweb!

There was no earth-shattering explosion as I had imagined!

Instead... it emitted a series of... teeth-grinding, ear-piercing scraping sounds, like cutting metal!

Kai clearly sensed it! The enormous, incredibly hard meteorite, the moment it touched that seemingly delicate spiderweb, was... truly... as if being sliced ​​by countless sharpest razors! It began... from the outer layer... little by little... to be cut, split, and disintegrate!!!

Although the spiderweb itself trembled, deformed, and even broke under intense friction and high temperature, it ultimately... after paying a certain price, managed to... cut that massive meteorite, capable of destroying everything, into countless... relatively small burning fragments!

The burning debris scattered like a meteor shower across Greenbit Forest, triggering a series of explosions and fires! But at least... it prevented the entire island from being completely destroyed!

Doflamingo... actually... blocked Fujitora's meteor!

Although Kai could sense that Doflamingo had also expended a great deal of physical strength and Haki in the process of cutting the meteorite, his aura had clearly become somewhat disordered.

However, the almost abnormal strength and exquisite use of his Devil Fruit ability that he displayed still made Kai feel a deep sense of apprehension!

..............

This man... is absolutely one of the most terrifying opponents he has ever encountered! (Perhaps... the most terrifying?)

While everyone's attention was drawn to this earth-shattering collision of "meteorite vs. spider web"...

Trafalgar Law, however, seized this fleeting opportunity like the most cunning eel!

He suddenly unleashed his last remaining strength, using ROOM to instantly swap positions with a burning meteorite fragment in the distance! Then... without looking back, he fled in a sorry state into the depths of the forest! He actually... escaped in the chaos!

Fujitora didn't seem to immediately give chase.

He remained standing with his sword in hand, silently "feeling" the chaos and destruction caused by the falling meteorite, a complex expression on his face that was hard to describe.

It seemed... somewhat helpless? A little... self-deprecating? And a hint of... recognition of Doflamingo's strength and... an even stronger resolve?

Kai saw all of this.

He keenly sensed that... Fujitora-senpai's summoning of the meteor just now might not have been a genuine attempt to capture Law in one fell swoop? It was more like... a test?

To test Doflamingo's strength and bottom line?

To test whether Doflamingo would really choose to fight against the Marine Admiral (the summoned meteor) in order to "stop the chaos".

Perhaps... he was deliberately "letting things slide," giving Law a chance to escape? (After all, Law's target is Doflamingo, and perhaps Fujitora believes that letting these two pirates fight each other would better achieve some of his own goals?)

Kai couldn't be completely sure of Fujitora-senpai's true intentions.

But he could clearly sense that... this seemingly gentle and benevolent general also harbored... a wisdom as deep as an abyss and... a resolute determination to achieve his ideals at all costs!

The strange relationship between him and Doflamingo—a relationship of mutual distrust, mutual probing, and a seemingly delicate balance maintained in the shadows—made Kai feel that the storm in Dressrosa was likely to be more complex and unpredictable than he had imagined.

The chaos caused by the meteorite impact gradually subsided.

Trafalgar Law has taken advantage of the chaos to escape and his whereabouts are unknown.

General Fujitora stood silently on the scorched earth, amidst the devastation.

Donquixote Doflamingo, on the other hand, reverted to his usual cynical, all-knowing, and wicked smile.

"Fufufufu... What a wonderful 'fireworks display,' General Fujitora."

Doflamingo dusted off the dust on his pink feather coat and said in a relaxed tone, as if the crisis that had just destroyed the island had never happened. "But, what a pity... that brat Law still managed to get away."

It's truly... a shame that I've let you down after all your hard work.

His words were full of undisguised sarcasm and...probing.

Fujitora slowly turned around, looked at Doflamingo, and gave that...signature, apologetic and helpless bitter smile: "Sigh...I'm really ashamed."

I was outmatched and the criminal escaped right under my nose.

It seems... my cultivation is still insufficient.

He casually took the blame upon himself, making no mention of Doflamingo's intervention to stop the meteor.

Chapter 117 A single command! A million navy soldiers bestow the title of Empress!

This tacit understanding of shifting blame and playing cat and mouse made Kai, who was watching from the sidelines, secretly alarmed.

Those two old foxes... they're definitely not to be underestimated!

"Fufufu... Your Excellency, there is no need to blame yourself."

Doflamingo seemed too lazy to continue probing. He changed the subject, revealing a fake, enthusiastic smile. "Since that traitor Law has already escaped, he probably won't be showing up again anytime soon."

"How about... Your Excellency the General and this 'Quiet Mind' Lieutenant General move to my palace for a short rest?"

He made an inviting gesture: "Perfect timing, I would also like to report to you both on... how to deal with the 'threat' that the Law-Luffy Alliance may pose to Dressrosa, and... how to better cooperate with the Navy to maintain the 'friendly cooperative relationship' between our Seven Warlords and the World Government."

Fufufufu..."

Inviting a naval admiral and vice admiral to his palace for a "visit"? To discuss how to deal with the Law-Lu Alliance?

Kai immediately understood Doflamingo's intention.

This guy... wants to "invite" the two of them to his territory, partly to better monitor their movements, and partly... probably to take this opportunity to further test the navy's attitude, or even... demonstrate his "strength" and "sincerity" as the king and head of the Donquixote family?

This was undoubtedly a... trap and a hypocritical banquet!

Kai instinctively wanted to refuse.

He didn't want to have too much unnecessary contact with a dangerous figure like Doflamingo.
