Birdcage (1)

"What is it?" Doflamingo answered the phone and asked.

"Doffy, something bad has happened." A hurried voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Diamante, what's wrong?" Doflamingo asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

Diamante was another of his top lieutenants, and he had previously been stationed at the fighting arena. His call, saying things were getting worse, indicated that the situation was becoming increasingly serious.

"Doffy, the Flame-Flame Fruit was eaten by the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, and he's now a Flame- Devil Fruit User," Diamante immediately said.

"What? He ate him?" Doflamingo frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Why has the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff returned here? Wasn't this person not here before?"

Everyone entering the fighting arena had to be checked. He had been watching the surveillance footage and hadn't seen the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff.

However, what happened now surprised and shocked him greatly.

Because he had paid a high price for that Flame-Flame Fruit, and he wasn't planning to give it up. But now that it had become someone else's, he naturally felt bad.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Army is their mortal enemy, and now they have another demon ability user on their side, which is a significant blow to him.

"I'm sorry, Doffy, I couldn't hold on," Diamante said helplessly.

He hadn't expected the Revolutionary Army to come, especially since the Chief of Staff was quite powerful. He'd been tricked and was incredibly frustrated.

However, it's too late for him to regret it now, because the Revolutionary Army has already eaten the Devil Fruit. It's impossible for him to take it back.

Moreover, while his abilities were formidable, his opponent's abilities were equally impressive.

"Ugh, one bad thing after another!" Doflamingo said. "Alright, come over to the palace right now! I'm going to implement the Birdcage Plan."

The situation is now out of his control. He has to take urgent measures, or all his secrets will be exposed.

He didn't want to be hunted down by countless people. The people he controlled came from different factions. If they escaped and told their superiors what had happened, he would become the target of everyone's wrath.

Therefore, he must stop everyone before things are completely exposed; only in this way can he remain invincible.

"Understood, Doffy. I'll be right there," Diamante replied. He then immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"This is really troublesome!" Doflamingo rubbed his head. He had thought everything was fine, but now he felt like everything was going to happen. If he didn't handle it well, he would have no choice but to lead his crew on a life of constant flight.

He ignored the Straw Hat Boy and headed outside. He had more important things to do. As for the Straw Hat Boy, he could deal with him later.

Straw Hat Luffy naturally didn't want Doflamingo to leave. He immediately attacked Doflamingo.

Doflamingo didn't retaliate, but calmly shouted, "Pica, throw him out."

He didn't turn around, and continued walking forward after saying that, not worried at all about being attacked from behind by the Straw Hat Boy.

"Understood, young master." A sharp voice rang out.

A moment later, the once still palace began to move; the walls twisted, and everything around it became distorted. Soon after, the entire palace was completely transformed.

Straw Hat Boy was running when suddenly the ground bounced up like waves, making it impossible for him to stand still.

He fell down very quickly.

He was about to stand up when, just then, a huge hand made of rock slammed down on him, burying the Straw Hat Boy underneath.

Not to be outdone, the Straw Hat Boy immediately retaliated. Soon after, he destroyed the giant hand.

He jumped to a distance and headed towards Doflamingo. But then, he discovered that the floor had changed, instantly becoming vertical. This meant he had to run upwards to get closer to Doflamingo.

However, since there was no foothold for him to support him, he was unable to run upwards and immediately fell to the ground.

Soon after, he reached the very bottom of the palace.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, was at the very top of the palace. The distance between the Straw Hat Boy and Doflamingo suddenly widened considerably.

"Damn it!" Straw Hat Boy was unwilling to give up and headed towards other places. However, wherever he went, the person who controlled the palace immediately attacked him and pushed him off.

In this way, he couldn't get close to Doflamingo at all. Frustrated, he had no choice but to give up, because he couldn't find out where the person controlling the palace was.

If he wants to get close to the palace, he must take action and kill the person who controls it. Only when that person is dead will he be free from any interference.

However, he couldn't find him at all. Therefore, he could only watch and couldn't move forward.

Soon after, Bingfeng arrived as well.

The man named Pica controlled the entire palace. She was also inside the palace, so she was influenced by him.

Originally, she planned to thoroughly torment Trebol. But now she had no choice but to give up, because her icy world had been destroyed.

Trebol seized the opportunity to escape. Therefore, she did not continue the pursuit.

"You got pushed all the way here too?" Bingfeng said, seeing Straw Hat Boy.

"Yeah, I wonder who that mysterious guy is. He can control rocks. With him causing trouble there, it's almost impossible for me to get close to Doflamingo," Straw Hat Boy said.

Each time he approached, his opponent would alter the terrain around him, making it impossible for him to reach his destination unscathed. As a result, he was naturally unable to attack Doflamingo.

"This looks like it's going to be quite troublesome. We have to find the guy who controls the rocks and take him out. Only then can we get close to Doflamingo." Bingfeng agreed.

"Do you have a way?" Straw Hat Luffy asked. He wanted to defeat Doflamingo; as long as Bingfeng could stop that rock-manipulating guy, he would be fine.

"I can't do anything about it either; my abilities have no effect on rocks," Bingfeng said helplessly.

Although her ice could freeze everything, the person was hidden inside the rock. She froze the rock, but couldn't freeze the person at all. Therefore, she could only watch.

"Oh, that makes things difficult," the Straw Hat Boy said helplessly.

"Hehe, don't worry, I have a way to deal with that rock-manipulating guy," Bingfeng said with a laugh.

"What method? Tell me quickly!" the Straw Hat Boy said excitedly.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get some help," Bingfeng said.

She planned to summon Wang Yan to the island; after all, she was magma, capable of melting rocks. The rock-controlling guy hiding inside the rocks would be useless to her.

Because Wang Yan could use his abilities to force the other party to reveal themselves.

Now that he's out, she can deal with him. He won't be able to escape.

"Okay, hurry up. I can't wait." The Straw Hat Boy nodded and said.

"Don't worry! I definitely won't let you down." With a chuckle, Bingfeng immediately donned his Flight Armor and flew off into the distance.

And there the Straw Hat Boy was waiting.

The Bingfeng Luffy and finally arrived beside Fanxin.

"How did it go?" Fanxin asked, somewhat surprised to see Bingfeng return.

"This is bad. There's someone on Doflamingo's side who can manipulate rocks. We can't get close to Doflamingo at all. Straw Hat Boy and I were thrown out," Bingfeng said helplessly.

"Oh, there are such capable people?" Fanxin was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said.

"Yes, if that bastard is around, it will be extremely difficult for us to defeat Doflamingo. That guy's abilities are very special; he can control a very large area," Bingfeng said. "We have to find a way to keep that bastard occupied, otherwise, if he interferes, we can only watch from the sidelines."

A formidable opponent should be dealt with by formidable people; only in this way can the formidable opponent prevent them from causing any trouble.

"What do you think we should do?" Fanxin nodded and asked.

"Let Sister Wang Yan come over! Her abilities can counter the opponent," Bingfeng said.

"Wang Yan? Yes, that's true. She can now move freely underground. If she intervenes, she can definitely make the other side back down." Fanxin nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it that way!"

"Little Black, immediately notify Wang Yan and tell her to come in and help as soon as possible," Fanxin said, looking at the Little Black Cat.

"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded and immediately used its ability to contact Wang Yan.

"And what about me? What should I do?" Bingfeng asked.

"Let's sit here and wait! I sense a storm is brewing," Fanxin said with a smile. "We'll just sit here and watch the show; it's bound to be exciting."

Doflamingo has done so many bad things, and now that it's all been exposed at once, he's probably in big trouble. He really wants to see how Doffy will handle it.

"Alright, let's take a look!" Bingfeng nodded and said.

They then waited on the rooftop. Soon after, Wang Yan arrived.

Fanxin Xin immediately sent her to the palace to help Luffy. With her there, he believed the Straw Hat Boy would be alright.

"A storm is coming; who knows how many people will die here," Fanxin said.

He Soul Perception and felt that many souls were disappearing step by step. This was only the beginning; in the end, even more and more souls would vanish.

"Yes, the dark truth is terrifying. If it's not revealed, all is well, but once it is, things will get complicated." Bingfeng nodded and said.

If they didn't come here and cause trouble, although this place would still be under Doflamingo's rule, everyone would still be living quite well. They wouldn't expose the dark truth because they wouldn't know it.

In this way, only a small number of people suffered losses. But now they have revealed everything.

Doflamingo is definitely furious, and he will certainly use the cruelest methods to deal with the people on this island, because he doesn't want the matter to be exposed and endanger his rule.

This would mean that the vast majority of people on the island would suffer. Their survival would be extremely difficult.

"We'll try our best to help later. We're the ones who caused this mess, and we bear an unshirkable responsibility," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

If they don't cause trouble for Doflamingo, then the citizens here won't have to worry about being killed by Doflamingo. However, now they have to endure all of this. So, he still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

"Understood." Nodding, Bingfeng said, "In a moment, we'll lure everyone to your side, and then you can put them into the Diamond Space."

The Diamond Space in the Fanxin is very large and can accommodate many people. Once they attract people here, there will be no problem.

"Okay, that's settled then!" Fanxin nodded and said.

"So many of Doflamingo's subordinates?" Bingfeng said, "Should we get involved and deal with them?"

"Let's not worry about that yet. We just need to take care of the common people. As for the rest, we don't need to concern ourselves with them." Fanxin glanced at the fighting arena and said, "Let them deal with Doflamingo's subordinates! Those guys are not to be trifled with."

The arena is filled with prominent figures from all over the world, each one extraordinary. It would be virtually impossible for Doflamingo to kill them all.

Those guys are all unruly and rebellious. They'll definitely unite and retaliate against Doflamingo. Doflamingo will definitely regret it, because he's brought so much trouble upon himself.

"Hehe, that makes sense. Let's wait and see then?" Bingfeng nodded and laughed.

She had been to the fighting arena before and knew what was going on there. Those guys were incredibly strong; it would be very difficult for Doflamingo to defeat them.

Moreover, right now, the Straw Hat Boy are busy holding Doflamingo back. Doflamingo is completely stretched thin. As a result, he has no choice but to send his subordinates over to deal with those powerful madmen.

In this way, Doflamingo wouldn't have enough manpower to deal with them, and they could do whatever they wanted.

"Alright, let's continue observing!" Fanxin said. "Doflamingo has already made his move, but we don't know what that thing is. We need to be careful."
