One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

After finishing his meal, Luo left Tulab Island without lingering.

The island returned to silence.

As evening fell, a pink figure appeared in the sky above the island.

Aaron and Finbdi were practicing hard, sweating profusely, when they noticed something was wrong and immediately stopped.

Aaron squinted at the sky and suddenly said, "Skylark, quickly hide!"

The lark was taken aback, then obediently ran quickly toward a cave not far away.

"Boss, are the people who came really that powerful?"

Aaron didn't speak, but looked up at the clouds in the sky.

A pink figure descended from the sky, landing a dozen meters in front of the two.

"Donquixote Doflamingo!"

Fenbdi was startled, but remembering that he was already a highly skilled person who had "changed his appearance in three days," he immediately calmed down.

Doflamingo's voice was deep and sinister, tinged with anger: "Nell Aaron?"

Aaron wiped the sweat from his brow: "Not bad."

"Where are my two men?!"

"Oh, they're still on the island, but they're asleep, and they'll never wake up again."

"You killed them?"

"I wanted to play with them, but they were so trashy, they were practically defenseless, they'd die at the slightest touch."

Doflamingo's glasses flashed, and his right hand moved.

Aaron simply smiled and remained motionless.

Finbdi did not notice anything unusual.

A cold smile crept across Doflamingo's lips as he moved his five fingers on his right hand, as if playing a piano in the air.

"Huh?" Finch was startled, realizing that his body seemed to be moving on its own, as if it were not under his control.

"Boss, my hand won't obey me!"

Aaron ignored him, still smiling, and stared straight at Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's smile froze: "You're clearly under my control with my parasitic puppet strings, so why aren't you obeying?"

Aaron snorted and sneered, "That's because I'm stronger than you. At least, I'm not someone you can control with a flick of your finger."

Doflamingo's fingers twitched slightly: "Snap the string!"

Aaron reached out with his right hand and grabbed at the air, revealing a transparent thread that looked like a fishing line.

Doflamingo frowned, his expression becoming more serious and earnest.

"Are you a colonel from headquarters?"

"Genuine or genuine."

Doflamingo stopped asking questions and began to twitch his five fingers in turn.

Finbdi was already dancing and lunging at Aaron.

Aaron dodged it, but still felt his body was somewhat restrained, and his movements were not as agile as usual.

With a soft "boom," a ball of flame erupted from Aaron's body, instantly making him feel incredibly refreshed.

Not only were the parasite threads that Doflamingo fired instantly burned away, but the fatigue in his body was also swept away.

Doflamingo lowered his head slightly and said angrily, "Impossible..."

Even through those wine-red sunglasses, Aaron could feel the ferocity and coldness in Doflamingo's eyes.

Aaron said, "Doflamingo, others may be afraid of your parasite threads, but to me, your parasite threads are no different from ordinary sewing thread."

The Phoenix Flame could even burn the Star Puppet Strings of Minos, one of the three giants of the Underworld, so dealing with the String-String Fruit would be a piece of cake.

"Five-colored threads!"

Doflamingo bent his right hand and slashed through the air like a beast tearing apart its prey. Five threads of different colors appeared out of thin air, cutting through the air and heading straight for Aaron's face.

Aaron instantly shifted his body to avoid the attack, and the flames on his body burned even brighter.

Behind them, a large tree with a diameter of over 5 meters had its upper half slowly sliding down and falling to the ground.

Aaron exclaimed, "What a sharp line! It's a pity it's useless if you can't hit it."

Doflamingo, veins bulging on his forehead, bared his teeth and brandished his claws, shouting, "Marine, stop talking nonsense! Losing two of my men is the same as killing two of my family members! I will definitely kill you to avenge you!"

Aaron spread his hands: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you kill me, so come on!"

Doflamingo was even angrier. His right leg instantly hardened with Armament Haki and he launched a flying kick at Aaron.

Aaron narrowed his eyes, saw the trajectory of the kick, and instantly hardened his right fist with Armament Haki, throwing a hook at Doflamingo's ankle.

With a loud "bang," fists and feet collided, unleashing a burst of domineering energy.

"Shave the line!"

The "humming" sound was like the plucking of a musical string. Aaron felt five threads wrapped around his arm, pressing against his Armament Haki-hardened skin.

These threads were also incredibly sharp, but Aaron's Armament Haki level wasn't very high, and it looked like they were about to cut his arm.

Aaron stepped forward half a step with his right foot, twitched his right shoulder, and thrust his right fist an inch further: "Hellfire Whirlwind!"

Flames erupted from Aaron's right arm, instantly transforming into a pillar of fire that slammed into Doflamingo's face.

With a few soft "pop" sounds, the threads snapped instantly.

Doflamingo felt the heat of the flames far exceeding that of ordinary flames. Startled, he quickly retreated several meters, leaning back to avoid the pillar of fire.

"This isn't ordinary fire, nor is it the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit. What is going on?!"

Aaron laughed, "What makes you so sure this isn't the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"snort!"

Doflamingo snorted heavily and said coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, the Flame-Flame Fruit is now in my hands. Tell me, what's with your flames?"

Aaron said, "This is the Phoenix True Fire, capable of burning everything. If I so desire, I can even burn your spirit and soul, and of course, your body is no exception."

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Doflamingo laughed, rubbing his forehead. "A mere Marine Colonel from the Marine Headquarters spouting such nonsense, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?! Do you think you're Akainu? Even Akainu wouldn't dare to say he'd burn a person's spirit and soul!"

Aaron grinned: "Don't believe me? I'll let you experience the pain!"

"Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist!"

Aaron pointed his right index finger at Doflamingo's forehead, and a beam of yellow light instantly entered his brow.

Doflamingo's face immediately showed a look of pain, and his body began to tremble.

Soon, two tear streaks appeared behind his sunglasses, rolling down his cheeks and onto the ground.

Fombardier walked over: "Boss, why is he crying? Did you hit him in the nose?"

Aaron said, "I just reminded him of his most painful past experiences."

Aaron reached out to Finbdi's arms: "Bear with it, it hurts a little."

"What do you mean, a little... ah!"

Fombey screamed, staring at the two transparent threads in Aaron's hand, each stained with a few drops of blood, and asked with lingering fear, "Boss, are these Doflamingo's Parasite Threads?"

"good."

"Huff...huff..."

He heard heavy breathing coming from behind him, and Aaron slowly turned around.

Fenbudy's screams awakened Doflamingo, who was already trapped in painful childhood memories and unable to extricate himself.

He was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Damn marine! What did you do to me?!"
