The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

Just as he was about to reach the designated location, and could even see the distant sea horizon through the gaps in the trees...

"Help me—!!!"

A scream, tinged with sobs, suddenly came from the east bank, clearly piercing through the woods and reaching the ears of Law and Doflamingo.

It's Momonosuke!

On the eastern coastline, the Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny was indeed anchored, but it was not safe and sound.

The ship was surrounded by bullhead fish, a ferocious and gregarious marine mammal native to the waters around Greenland Island, because it got too close to the shore!

These sea monsters were constantly ramming the ship's deck with their horns. There were only four Straw Hat Pirates members on board.

Sanji, Nami, Brook, and Chopper were frantically trying to drive away the sea monster.

The timid Momonosuke had never seen anything like this before, and he was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.

But it was precisely this cry for help that became the most inappropriate gong to be rung on the battlefield.

This caused Doflamingo, who had been relentlessly pursuing Law and whose attention was completely focused on him, to suddenly stop in his tracks.

"Oh?" A flicker of surprise crossed his face, then his signature, utterly malicious smile returned, instantly revealing his understanding of everything.

"Trying to pull off a sneak attack?! Fufufufu..."

As the laughter subsided, Doflamingo immediately abandoned his pursuit of Law, who was darting about in the forest.

Its body suddenly rose higher, thin lines swirling around the clouds, using the "airway" to draw a sharp arc in the air.

It changed direction abruptly and sped towards the coastline where the Thousand Sunny was located!

"Damn it!" Luo's heart sank when he saw this, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

With his plan completely exposed, Doflamingo's target was no longer to entangle him, but to target his only hope of escape—the Sunny and the allies on board!

So Luo could no longer conserve his energy and unleashed his ROOM to the maximum extent, teleporting frantically toward the coastline!

"Straw Hat Master! Why are you bringing along this useless samurai kid?!"

.......

Doflamingo lunged at the Thousand Sunny, and Sanji, as the ship's only remaining fighter, also fiercely leaped into the air from the deck!

"Demon Wind Kick!"

Sanji roared, his feet spinning and rubbing against each other in the air at high speed, instantly turning crimson, carrying a scorching hot airflow, heading straight for Doflamingo in mid-air!

"Fufufu..." Doflamingo merely let out a contemptuous sneer in the face of this sudden and fierce attack.

He didn't even make a big dodging move; he simply raised his arm, which was covered in Armament Haki, and casually parried.

"Bang!" Barefoot collided with arm, creating a shockwave. Sanji's Diable Jambe was blocked so easily by the opponent, unable to advance an inch!

"Is this what they call 'Black Leg'?" Doflamingo's eyes behind his sunglasses were full of mockery. "It's far from powerful enough!"

Sanji's pupils contracted. The moment his attack was blocked, his fighting instincts made him change his move without hesitation!

With his right leg blocked, his left leg whistled out, aiming straight for Doflamingo's temple!

However, Doflamingo's figure displayed astonishing agility in the air.

With an incredible 360-degree aerial flip, he not only dodged the sweeping kick but also instantly appeared behind Sanji!

"Too slow!" A cold voice rang in Sanji's ears, and Doflamingo swung his hand back.

Five dazzling yet deadly colored threads shot out from between his fingers.

"Five-colored threads!" The threads merged into one, sharp as a knife, cutting through the air with a piercing shriek!

"Pfft!" Sanji tried his best to twist his body, but the thread still accurately hit his shoulder and back, and blood splattered instantly!

The immense impact and the tearing pain caused him to groan, and he instantly lost his balance, plummeting uncontrollably from the air!

"Sanji!!" Nami, Chopper, and the others screamed in terror on the deck of the Sunny.

"Bang!" Sanji slammed heavily onto the deck, but almost immediately he propped himself up with his trembling arms.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on the enemy in the air.

"Bastards... I absolutely cannot let you... hurt my comrades!"

After catching his breath, Sanji once again used Moonwalk to circle around to Doflamingo's back.

His legs transformed into countless crimson afterimages, and blazing kicks poured towards Doflamingo's back!

"Devil's Wind Kick - Boeuf Burst!"

But Doflamingo didn't even turn around in the face of this fierce kick.

The pink feather coat moved and danced without wind, forming an impenetrable barrier.

“Bang bang bang bang bang—!”

A series of thunderous impacts, like the beating of drums, exploded in the air, and the crimson kicks were all easily deflected by the seemingly soft feather coat.

Sparks flew everywhere, but they failed to harm Doflamingo's body in the slightest!

Sanji, already severely injured and with his stamina rapidly declining, saw his attack speed visibly decrease.

His breathing became heavy, revealing a huge flaw in his attack.

"Fuff...fuuff...have you had enough?" Doflamingo sneered.

Finally losing patience, he twitched his finger slightly.

"Parasite line!"

Invisible threads instantly wrapped around Sanji's limb joints!

Sanji's body suddenly stiffened, like a marionette, all his movements instantly stopped, frozen in mid-air!

"The game is over, Blackfoot."

With his palm facing upwards, Doflamingo rapidly condensed and extended a super whip radiating intense heat and a dark red color!

"I'll use this thread to send you to hell!"

The dark red whip, carrying the force to tear everything apart, hurtled straight at Sanji's head, which was frozen in place and unable to move!

"ROOM!" A hemispherical transparent space instantly unfolded, enveloping Sanji!

Slaughterhouse!

'Whoosh!' A flash of light!

Just as the high-temperature whip was about to engulf Sanji, his figure vanished into thin air!

The fatal whip lashed hard at the spot where he had been standing, and the force of the blows missed, slamming directly into the sea below!

"boom--!!!"

The sea surface seemed to be cleaved open by an invisible giant blade, and a chasm appeared instantly. The seawater rushed to both sides, stirring up towering waves!

The sheer power of the weapon turned everyone on board the Sunshine deathly pale!

On the deck of the Thousand Sunny, light flashed again, and Luo led a still-shaken Caesar...

He also appeared alongside Sanji, who had been rescued by Sanji's teleportation ability, covered in blood, kneeling on one knee and panting.

Doflamingo hovered in mid-air, watching Trafalgar Law on the deck, who had ruined his plans several times.

The smile on his face vanished completely, replaced by pure anger and murderous intent.

This brat, whom he once regarded as a pawn and could crush at will, has now escaped from his grasp time and time again, and even thwarted his plans repeatedly!

"Trafalgar...Lo!"

Chapter 543 The person he's afraid of is me!

Doflamingo, with thin lines tearing through the air beneath his feet, approached the isolated and helpless Sunny once again, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Although there is wind to propel it, it still takes time to activate, and Doflamingo can't just watch you activate it!

Faced with this situation, despair suddenly descended upon the ship!

Apart from Sanji, who was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily due to his serious injuries, only Nami, Chopper, and Brook remained, none of whom were skilled in combat.

Perhaps Brook could force his way in, but against a furious Shichibukai, it would be pointless.

"Damn it..." Sanji, enduring the excruciating pain, used his trembling hands to brace himself against the ship's railing, trying to stand up again. "I'll... stop him, you guys..."

"Enough! Blackfoot's leader!" Luo shouted sharply, his face showing slight fatigue from exhaustion, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp.

"Going up there now is just suicide!" He knew Doflamingo's strength better than anyone else.

Then Law abruptly turned to look at Nami and asked the most crucial question.

Did the Straw Hat crew actually destroy the underground factory in Dressrosa?!

"Uh... this..." Nami's eyes flickered instantly, and an embarrassed and awkward expression appeared on her face. Her hands unconsciously twisted together.

"Not...not yet."

"Luffy and his crew...they are..."

Looking at Law's gruesome wounds and exhausted appearance, Nami simply couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"They are fighting over the Flaming Fruit in the arena and feasting in the streets."

When Law saw Nami's stammering expression, he instantly understood what was going on. A feeling of helplessness and despair welled up in his heart, and he almost gritted his teeth to pieces.

He fought desperately to delay them here, even nearly losing his life, while over there...

"What are you doing?!" Momonosuke, who had been hiding behind Nami and clutching her skirt, suddenly peeked out, screaming in a tearful voice.

"Run! That horrible guy will kill us all! Your captain promised to protect me! Set sail now!"

Faced with this situation, Luo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, and made a difficult decision.

He spoke rapidly to Nami and Sanji, saying, "Listen! The plan has changed!"

"You two, take Caesar and this boy, set sail immediately for Zou!"

"Zou?" Nami and Sanji were both taken aback.

“That’s right!” Law explained, “Momonosuke’s bodyguard Kin’emon said that the Mink Tribe and the Kozuki Clan of Wano Country have been on good terms for generations.”

Moreover, and most importantly, Zou is now one of the core territories explicitly protected by 'Skyquake' Gern, and flies the 'Cataclysm' flag!

Even the Beasts Pirates or the World Government wouldn't dare set foot there lightly without absolute certainty! It's currently the safest place!

"Take this brat with you; he's from the Kozuki clan. The Mink Clan will allow you to land!"

After saying that, Law looked at Momonosuke and said, "Isn't that right?"

Faced with this question, Momonosuke himself was unsure, after all, he had only heard that his father, Kozuki Oden, had mink as his servants.

But given the current situation, Momonosuke only wanted to escape, so he nodded frantically: "That's right! The Mink Tribe are vassals of Wano Country, and they will only obey Kozuki!"

"That's good!" Luo had no doubts.

Moreover, his meaning is now very clear.

The solution is to abandon Luffy and his crew who are still in Dressrosa, and prioritize the preservation of some of the remaining personnel and the key "hostage" Caesar.

"What a joke!" Nami immediately retorted excitedly, while Sanji struggled to stand up, his eyes equally determined.

Abandoning my comrades? Absolutely not!

"Are you all just going to watch everyone die here?!" Law's voice was a suppressed growl as he pointed towards Doflamingo, who was drawing ever closer in the sky.

"In our current state, we are no match for him! Once he catches us, all our plans will fail completely!"

After shouting, Law looked at the two men's unyielding eyes, then glanced at Momonosuke, who was still screaming.

He had no choice but to settle for second best and hurriedly added, "I'm not asking you to abandon your straw hats and become the head of the household!"

This is a temporary measure! As long as you arrive safely in Zou and hold your ground.

I promise that once it is confirmed that the factory in Dressrosa has been destroyed, I will immediately find a way to reunite with you!

This is the only way out!

At this moment, there was no scene from the original work where Fujitora commanded naval warships to descend from the sky and block Doflamingo with heavy iron walls.
