One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Paramecia-type Straw-Straw Fruit, a special ability that is half physical and half mystical.

He came to the Kingdom of Prince alone.

That year, he had not yet formed his own pirate crew and set sail.

Hawkins originally planned to go to the palace alone to find the fruit he had foreseen.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Rorschach, Rorschach, and Drake on the way.

This led to him being drawn into this dangerous turmoil.

But when Rorschach invited him to join, Hawkins did not refuse.

Because he is a person who strongly believes in fate.

They believe that whatever they encounter is simply the turning of the gears of fate.

Life and death are predetermined before they even begin.

The same applies to whether or not one can obtain the desired ability.

The only stone bridge leading to the royal city streets has been destroyed.

Given Hawkins' current physical condition and injuries, it would be virtually impossible for him to cross the more than 100-meter-wide inland sea.

Mig Jones' punch nearly killed him.

However, the Paramecia-type Straw-Straw Fruit cannot restore the user's stamina in a short period of time.

Looking at Doflamingo, who exuded a violent aura, Hawkins dispelled the demon-slaying form of the Straw-Straw Fruit and slowly pulled out a stack of crumpled tarot cards from his blood-stained clothes.

This time, Hawkins didn't shuffle or cut the cards; he simply picked one out at random and let the other tarot cards drift away into the sea.

He glanced at it, then sat down like Ilya, quietly watching the final showdown opposite him.

"Everything was preordained, but I did not see the man die."

...

...

"Is the gap really that big? Even after eating a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, he still couldn't withstand Doflamingo's Five-Colored Threads attack."

The shattered ground collapsed into a depression more than ten meters deep, where Luo Xia's body, which was more than five meters tall, lay. Five neat wounds were split open on his chest, and the gushing blood was gradually stopping and showing signs of scabbing over.

This is why Zoan-type Devil Fruit users are called "indestructible cockroaches."

Not to mention that it is an even rarer mythical beast species.

Suddenly, darkness fell above the broken opening, and a figure wearing a pink cloak blocked out the sunlight, casting a large shadow on Rorschach.

The moment Doflamingo saw Rorschach's Kirin beastman form, a vein bulged on his forehead.

The brat below actually ate the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that he was going to trade to Kaido.

The astonishing form it is displaying now is exactly the Kirin Beastman form described in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

It has deer antlers and dragon scales, sharp claws and a long tail, and its body faintly carries the aura of wind and thunder.

He came all the way from the distant New World specifically for this Mythical Zoan fruit.

Before arriving, Doflamingo had even devised a series of large-scale collaborations with Kaido based on this extremely rare Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

For example, they could acquire all the arms export agency rights for Wano Country and become the middleman for the best weapons supply in the entire New World.

By gaining the protection of the Beasts Pirates at sea, the Donquixote Family's maritime trade network can be expanded to more countries and territories in the New World.

It can be said that this Kirin Fruit was a crucial part of the rise of the Doflamingo family!

But now, it has been eaten by such a weak little brat.

What's even more frustrating for him is that, in his excitement, he had already informed Kaido of this 'good news' on the way here...

But what enraged Doflamingo the most was that this brat below had actually killed Gladius!

In a cruel way, let Gladius die a gruesome death!

If I hadn't arrived in time, Torrepol's head would have been severed from his body.

how many years?

Doflamingo couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had experienced the feeling of trembling all over because he couldn't control his murderous intent and anger.

"Kid! You... very well! I don't care if you're a Marine or a pirate, since you killed my family, you have to pay the price. I'll make you and the entire Kingdom of Prince pay the price for Gladius's life."

Doflamingo gritted his teeth, his pupils turned bloodshot and red, and suddenly raised his right hand towards the sky.

Thin threads shot out from his outstretched palms, rising hundreds of meters into the sky like a fountain of silk, spreading outwards and falling to cover the entire island where the royal city was located.

On the edge of a distant rooftop, Luo clutched his severed arm, watching the silk threads continuously gushing into the sky, his face growing increasingly pale.

"birdcage!"

Chapter 62, Act Twelve: The Clown

"birdcage!"

Enraged to the extreme, Doflamingo shot countless tiny threads from his palms towards the sky.

Once these silk threads reached a certain height, they scattered and fell in all directions, like hard steel needles, deeply embedding themselves into the edge of the royal island.

In just a dozen seconds, the entire Prince City was covered by a giant birdcage.

On the rooftop, Luo, pale-faced, looked up at the spectacular scene, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

He had a deep-seated unease about the enormous birdcage made of silk threads before him.

Many years ago, when he was still a child, he had seen Doflamingo use this move on an island.

Once the birdcage is formed, the threads embedded along the edge of the island will contract towards the center at a constant speed.

These threads are incredibly strong; even the swordsman's strikes cannot cut them.

No one could stop the threads from closing and moving forward.

Those imprisoned in birdcages can only watch helplessly as the cage shrinks little by little, and as people around them, whether they know them or not, are cut to pieces by incredibly sharp, fine threads.

In the end, all that remained on the island were pieces of flesh and corpses.

Luo will never forget that scene in his life.

That was a true hell on earth.

"Luo Xia...!" Luo gripped the floor tightly with one hand and shouted.

His voice trembled slightly with fear.

"We must stop him! We can't let the birdcage close, or everyone will die!"

As Luo spoke, he gritted his teeth, straining his body, trying to stand up and rush over.

He staggered, not even glancing at the severed arm lying on the floor. His only remaining left hand had its five fingers spread out, revealing a shimmering ring of air.

"ROOM!"

A hemispherical dome appeared, but its diameter only expanded to less than five meters.

He was completely exhausted.

After a series of battles and the loss of his arm, Law's body was on the verge of collapse.

His figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already left the floor.

However, the operating space was too small, and Law was unable to reach Doflamingo. Instead, he was only moved outside the floor and then fell to the ground with a thud, his face covered in blood.

“Fufufufu”

Doflamingo watched this comical scene and couldn't help but press his forehead with one hand, letting out a strange laugh.

"Fufufufu! Are you kidding me?!"

Is it funny?

A cold voice rang in his ear.

Doflamingo looked down at Rorschach, who had risen from the bottom of the pit, and a wide, exaggerated grin spread across his face.

"Of course it's funny! How could this comical performance before the birdcage is completely shut not bring pleasure?"

Doflamingo spread his arms wide. "You ignorant brats, you've never seen the cruelty of the sea, and you have no respect for the strong. Now I'm going to teach you a lesson, your last lesson!"

"Experience the endless collapse and despair before death slowly approaches!"

Rorschach burst out of the deep pit with his bent legs and stood opposite Doflamingo, his face not showing the fear and despair that Doflamingo had expected.

Instead, an undisguised mockery emerged.

"So, your companion, whom you considered family, is dead, and you can still laugh so happily? You're just like the Joker."

"What did you say?" Doflamingo's voice turned icy cold.

Rorschach took a step, and the sand and gravel on the ground swirled up, hovering around his body, while a fierce wind howled between heaven and earth.

How does it feel to kill your father and brother?

"shut up!"

How does it feel to be all alone?

"shut up!"

"How does it feel to go from being a high and mighty god to a worthless mortal?"

"You brat! I'm going to kill you right now!"

Doflamingo spread his five fingers, and the ground beneath their feet rapidly turned white, transforming into a sea of ​​silk threads.

White waves made of silk threads surged up and crashed towards Rorschach.

Rorschach gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, tiny sparks crackling on his body, and wisps of wind swirling around him. He suddenly shattered the oncoming threads, leaving a straight afterimage on the white waves as he shot straight toward Doflamingo.

He roared, his voice like a thunderclap.

"So, your greatest skill is to threaten us with death?"

You think I'm afraid of dying?
