One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

"Fire Curtain!"

The lark swept his right palm in front of him, and a wall of fire appeared out of thin air, blocking all the countless raindrop-like slime.

"Flame-Flame Fruit!"

Trebol cursed, "That Diamante, he's so unreliable! He actually lost the Flame-Flame Fruit!"

Aaron said, "Don't blame him. Did Doflamingo send you to stop me?"

Torrepol said, "No, he sent me to kill you!"

Aaron smiled slightly: "He sent you here to die."

"Don't talk big!" Torrepol roared again, "Sticky Chains!"

Several strands of slime, like ropes, coiled towards the group.

Torrepol's body was covered in mucus, which looked like snot and was quite disgusting.

Aaron didn't even want to touch his body.

He brought his right index and middle fingers together, pointed at Torrepol, and with a flick of his wrist, a stream of air shot towards Torrepol like a stream of water.

A gust of wind blew away the slime on his body, revealing his shriveled body once again.

Aaron had already picked up a small pebble from the ground and flicked it with his finger.

With a whoosh, the pebble pierced through Torrepol's heart, leaving a hole.

Torrepol collapsed and died.

Law shouted, "Doflamingo, aren't you the one who cherishes your family members the most? Now that Pica is dead and Trebol is dead, are you going to send others to their deaths?!"

"Doflamingo! Stop hiding like a coward, come out now! It's time to settle the score from thirteen years ago!"

Luo gripped the knife, his voice hoarse, his eyes burning with fierce light, his expression incredibly resolute, and his hands regained their steady movement, no longer trembling.

"Click!"

A thin layer of dust rose from the wall where the grid power was supplied, followed by a soft sound.

Luo suddenly drew his sword, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and slid back two steps.

Several more streaks of dust appeared on the wall, and Luo dodged them one by one.

With a loud bang, the palace walls collapsed, and Doflamingo appeared.

The smile disappeared from his face, and the veins on his forehead bulged, like several small snakes wriggling.

"Revenge? What revenge?"

Luo said, "Thirteen years ago, you personally shot and killed Rosinante, and I was there!"

"Were you there?"

Doflamingo's glasses reflected the light, as cold as his tone.

Luo said, "I'm right behind Rosinante!"

Doflamingo's forehead veins throbbed again: "The Silence-Silence Fruit! Right?"

Luo said, "It's too late for you to know now."

Doflamingo didn't say anything more, but his hands moved: "Five-Colored Threads!"

Luo raised his blade and blocked the wires. The piercing sound immediately drilled through the eardrums, making people feel uneasy.

Aaron laughed loudly, "Luo, go ahead and fight. I'll step in if necessary."

Doflamingo cursed, "Mind your own business! You killed several of my family's officers; after I kill Law, I'll come after you!"

Aaron said nonchalantly, "I'll be waiting for you right here. You'd better watch out. I can't say for sure when I might make my move."

As Law and Doflamingo fought fiercely, the walls of the palace were quickly reduced to ruins.

Before long, the battle between the two had returned to the ground from the high ground of the palace.

"What are you doing? Trying to get away?" Aaron looked at the two figures getting smaller and smaller, and said to Lark and Bernard, "Let's go. Bernard, take Sugar with you."

Bernard, seeing that Sugar was still unconscious, grabbed her by the hat and lifted her up.

"Boss, how do we get down?"

"Just jump down."

"Huh?" Bernard looked troubled. "I can't use Moonwalk yet, I'll fall to my death."

Aaron said, "I'll carry you."

The lark said, "I want one too."

With no other choice, Aaron grabbed one person in each hand and jumped down.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, he took a few steps with Moonwalk to cushion the fall and land smoothly.

Hibari pointed to the other end of the street and said, "Senior Aaron, they're over there!"

Aaron said, "Hibari, Bernard, go and give this sugar to Admiral Fujitora."

After Aaron finished speaking, he leaped into the air and reached one end of the street, quickly disappearing from sight.

Hibari had wanted to go with them, but now he had no choice but to obey Aaron's orders and go with Bernard to find Fujitora.

Aaron turned the corner, while Law and Doflamingo continued to shift positions.

Luo's original wounds reopened, and several new wounds were added to his body.

He was panting heavily, his movements had slowed down, his strength was completely exhausted, and he was no longer able to do what he was supposed to do.

"Whoosh!"

Luo was a step too slow; his arm was cut by a colorless thread, revealing his pale arm bone.

Doflamingo chuckled sinisterly, "Law, you're far from getting revenge! I'll send you to meet that traitor right now!"

Doflamingo stepped on Law's chest, pulled out a pistol, and instead of aiming it at Law's head, pointed it at his chest.

It seems that one shot to the head wasn't enough to vent his anger; he wanted to fire a few more shots.

"That's enough, Doflamingo."

Doflamingo turned to Aaron, licked his lips, and grinned, "Enough? Not enough, far from enough! Kill him, then I'll deal with you! Then Fujitora and all the Marines. Today, no one here will survive to deliver this message!"

"Pfft!" Aaron couldn't help but chuckle, waving his hand and saying, "Doflamingo, you were so serious, I almost believed you!"

Doflamingo glared at him: "You don't believe me?"

Aaron said, "Please, Fujitora is a Marine Admiral, do you think you can beat him? Don't think that just because you've lured a lot of pirates with bounties, they're nothing but trash, small fry that can be dealt with with a flick of a finger."

Doflamingo's expression darkened further.

Aaron said, "Forget Fujitora. Let's talk about me. Did you really beat me?"

Doflamingo laughed maniacally: "Fufufufu! Don't think that just because I didn't kill you over a year ago, you have the right to talk back to me! You, a mere Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, dare to spout such nonsense?"

Doflamingo raised his hands high: "I am not only one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but also a Celestial Dragon!"

Aaron chuckled: "Sorry, but you've already resigned from your position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Besides, you haven't been a Celestial Dragon for decades. There's no reason for a Celestial Dragon to live outside of Mary Geoise for so long."

The root of all Doflamingo's suffering is that his father gave up his status as a Celestial Dragon and came to this "lower world," becoming what Doflamingo calls a lowly commoner.

When Aaron brought this up, it was like reopening a wound that had been there for decades.

The veins on Doflamingo's forehead throbbed even more violently.

Aaron said, "Don't be angry, your little cardiovascular system has burst."

"I'm going to kill you!"

Doflamingo suddenly pointed his pistol at Aaron and fired without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang bang...click..."

Doflamingo finished firing his bullets, and then looked at Aaron, who was standing there unharmed, with an annoying smile on his face.

Doflamingo stomped his right foot, and the ground began to ripple like waves. The originally gray and hard stone turned into countless white lines that continued to spread outwards.
