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

His promises can become worthless at any time, depending on his mood!

Luo Yue grew angrier as he spoke, and continued to rebuke him sharply: "And you idiot! How dare you brazenly say in front of him that 'the Mink Tribe are servants of the Light Moon Clan'?!"

Did you know that one of his core "Catastrophe" officers is a Mink? If your words were to reach his ears...

At this moment, Nami, who was standing nearby, also seemed to remember something and, her face turning slightly pale, spoke up: "I... I heard Bellemere mention it..."

One of Uncle Gurn's earliest adjutants was a Mink named 'Lipo,' and if we're going by seniority... I'd probably have to call her aunt..."

.........

At the port of Dressrosa, the Thousand Sunny slowly docked.

As always, Guern "kept" his promise. After stepping onto the dock, he walked away on his own, showing no intention of making a move.

As for Luo, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, endure his injuries, and leave the ship, rushing into the intricate streets of Dressrosa.

Another desperate escape began.

But how could Doflamingo let him go? Seeing that Guern was not going to make a move, he decisively fired a thin stream of energy, carrying a chilling killing intent, following closely behind like a leech!

"boom!!!"

"Bang! Rumble—!"

Almost the instant the two disappeared around the street corner, a deafening roar and a series of explosions echoed through the city center!

The massive tremors even reached the port.

Almost invisible, shimmering threads of light, reflecting a dangerous glint in the sunlight, flashed intermittently through the air.

Immediately afterwards, the buildings in the distance collapsed with a crash, as if they had been sliced ​​by an invisible giant blade!

Smoke and dust billowed up, and the signs of destruction spread all the way towards the arena in the city center!

The situation near the arena is equally dire.

The battle in the arena had long ended, and the Flame-Flame Fruit was unexpectedly obtained by Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.

As for Luffy, because the arena is built like a giant sea stone cage, he can't find the exit and can only look out from the edge.

Zoro and Kin'emon, disguised, were attempting a rescue, but just then...

"Whoosh—Boom!!!"

A figure crashed down from the sky like a cannonball, landing precisely on Zoro, Luffy, and the street next to the cage.

Instantly, a cloud of dust billowed up, enveloping the entire street!

From the smoke and dust, Doflamingo's arrogant figure slowly appeared, holding a long spear that shimmered with golden light in his hand, and a cruel smile on his face like a cat hunting a mouse.

"Luo, if Tianzhen doesn't intervene, no one can save you!"

Not far away, Luo had already collapsed to the ground, seriously injured, and it seemed that even moving was extremely difficult for him.

Doflamingo showed no mercy and raised his golden spear without hesitation, aiming it at Law, who had no way to dodge, and pulled the trigger!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of shots rang out as bullets mercilessly pierced Luo's body, splattering blood everywhere.

Luffy, trapped in the cage, watched with eyes wide with rage, frantically pounding on the sea stone railings, but was too weak and confined to stop him.

“Mr. K... Mr. K...” Luo managed to utter a weak and painful groan, his eyes beginning to glaze over.

Just then, Doflamingo noticed the crowd around him, their faces filled with fear and confusion, gradually drawn by the commotion.

He immediately donned a righteous and awe-inspiring facade, and in a highly inflammatory voice, loudly proclaimed that all the blame had been placed on Luo:

"Everyone, don't panic! The pirate who has fallen to the ground is Trafalgar Law, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

He is the mastermind behind the Punk Hazard massacre, the kidnapping of children, and the attempt to destroy the peace of Dressrosa!

Today, I will execute justice here!

The unsuspecting public was deceived by his lies and became even more excited, offering Doflamingo even more enthusiastic support and cheers.

"Damn it!" Zoro could no longer contain himself upon seeing this, instantly drawing his three swords and joining forces with the equally enraged Kin'emon.

They launched a fierce attack on Doflamingo from both the left and right!

However, Doflamingo merely let out a disdainful sneer, easily blocking Zoro's fierce slash and Kin'emon's flaming sword technique, appearing completely at ease!

Kin'emon tried to rush to Law's side to help, but Doflamingo hit him with a precise and heavy wire bullet, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the wall in the distance!

Chapter 551 An Unexpected Encounter

Just as Doflamingo was in control of the entire situation, Luffy was trapped, Zoro and Kin'emon were defeated, and Law's fate was unknown...

"Click...click..."

A distinct, untimely chewing sound abruptly came from the other end of the street, from behind Doflamingo and the others, from the still lingering dust.

Immediately afterwards, an apple with more than half a bite taken out of it rolled out of the smoke and came to rest in the open space between the two sides.

Everyone's attention was instinctively drawn to the eerie sound and the rolling apple.

The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a tall figure.

He casually carried a signature golden staff, his upper body bare, his earlobes exceptionally long, revealing his muscular physique and the symbolic thunder drum on his back.

Enel's eyelids drooped lazily, as if he had no interest in anything in front of him, and he asked in a tone that was somewhat impatient and condescending.

“Mortals, the gods want to ask you something.”

This place... is called Dressrosa, right?

"!!!"

When they saw the person's appearance, Luffy and Zoro's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints!

Two years ago in the Sabaody Archipelago, the painful memory of being completely crushed by the other party and having no power to fight back instantly surged into my mind like a tidal wave!

That terrifying man who calls himself "God"—Enel!

“'God' Enel..…”

Doflamingo's brow furrowed deeply, his eyes behind his sunglasses grave: "Gern's 'Calamity'..."

Why is this troublesome guy here?!

At this moment, Enel is clearly a classic case of late-stage prosopagnosia.

Completely unrecognizable was the straw-hatted boy locked in a cage in front of him, and the green-haired guy next to him wielding three knives with a fierce look.

Perhaps it was because of Luffy and Zoro's disheveled state and their disguises that he couldn't make sense of them.

So, after realizing that his questions were not answered...

Enel's previously languid expression instantly darkened. He raised his eyelids, dangerous lightning crackling in his palm, his voice filled with anger.

"Hey! You ants, didn't you hear 'God's' command?! Answer my question!"

Although Doflamingo knew that Enel was a direct descendant of the "Calamity" under Gern, he had never personally experienced the other's strength.

With the pride of a Shichibukai and confidence in his String-String Fruit, he subconsciously believed that he was still more than capable of dealing with this "god" from Skypiea.

Upon hearing Enel's arrogant question, Doflamingo laughed in exasperation: "Fuff... Sorry, I don't have time to answer your question right now!"

Before he finished speaking, his left hand slightly bent its five fingers, and sharp silk threads had already gathered, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the dying Luo on the ground.

"Zzz!" A blinding bolt of lightning flashed by as if teleported!

Doflamingo felt a sudden weight on his chin, and a cold, hard sensation came through him!

He was then astonished to find that the end of Enel's golden staff was now pressed against his chin.

His movements were forcibly interrupted, even forcing him to tilt his head back slightly!

Enel lifted his droopy eyelids, lightning crackling around him, carrying a cold rage as if offended by an ant.

"Who gave you permission to be so disrespectful to 'God'?"

At the same time, the mind network clearly captured Doflamingo's indifference and contempt, and thus his tone became even colder.

"And... in your heart, you despise 'God'? You mortal."

When has Doflamingo ever suffered such humiliation?

It's one thing to be submissive to Gern, but are we really going to have to suffer the same fate as Gern's subordinates?

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes behind the sunglasses instantly turned incredibly ferocious!

With the golden staff blocking his way, he almost instinctively fought back!

"Five-colored thread!"

Doflamingo swung his empty right hand out suddenly, and five dazzling and sharp threads sliced ​​towards Enel's neck, which was right in front of him!

however

"Shh!"

The five-colored threads passed through Enel's neck without any hindrance, as if they had sliced ​​through the air and encountered no solid object!

Enel's neck instantly transformed into elemental energy, turning into leaping, azure lightning!

Doflamingo's pupils suddenly contracted!

The moment his attack missed, Enel made his move!

The golden staff retracted, while his right palm was already crackling with leaping arcs of lightning.

With a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, it gently, yet with a deadly threat, pressed against Doflamingo's forehead.

Enel, seeing the horrified expression on Doflamingo's face, uttered two words softly, as if delivering a verdict.

"Divine Judgment".

"boom!!!!!"

A terrifying bolt of lightning erupted instantly! The thick pillar of lightning, like a divine punishment spear, started from Enel's palm and completely engulfed Doflamingo!

The blinding light illuminated the entire block, and the deafening thunder made the earth tremble!

Meanwhile, at the western entrance of the arena.

Gern raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the exceptionally sturdy seastone railings that blocked the passage.

Without the slightest hesitation, he drew the black sword Bahuang from his waist.

"Clang—Buzz!"

The bandages wrapped around the blade tore apart inch by inch, and the black blade emitted a deep hum.

Then, just casually, like cutting a piece of tofu, he made a horizontal slit!

"Swish!" A faint cutting sound rang out.

The sea stone railing, which was enough to drive any ability user to despair, along with the reinforced steel bolt behind it, was cleanly split in two, the break as smooth as a mirror.

Just as Gehn sheathed his sword and was about to step into the dimly lit arena passage, a figure emerged from the shadows inside the passage and met him.

He had short, wavy blond hair and a noticeable scar below his left eye.

He was wearing a black top hat with goggles and a brown leather jacket.

He wore a white shirt with ruffles and a tie underneath, and casually carried a metal hose in his hand.

The two met face to face at the entrance of the passage, and both stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The interplay of light and shadow inside and outside the passageway partially illuminated the figures of the two people.

Gern's gaze fell on the seemingly ordinary water pipe in the other person's hand, then swept over his young face. His eyes flickered slightly, as if he recognized the person's identity.

Sabo also saw the person blocking the entrance to the passage.

A striking navy-style coat of justice, a knife wrapped in bandages at the waist, and a face that commands the seas.

“Admiral…” Sabo’s grip on the water pipe tightened imperceptibly, and the relaxed expression on his face vanished.

He had just obtained the Flame-Flame Fruit in the arena, and now he was encountering the Navy's strongest force at the exit. This was no coincidence or good luck.

Gern looked at Sabo, his face unreadable, and simply spoke, breaking the brief silence.

"Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."
