The Great Battle (Part One)

Doflamingo watched leisurely.

Trebol was also there watching, cheering on Law and the Straw Hat Boy's battle.

Seeing that Doflamingo and Trebol had relaxed their guard, Law smiled slightly, the curve so subtle it was almost imperceptible.

Actually, Law and the Straw Hat Boy weren't risking their lives. They were doing this to mislead Doflamingo and Trebol.

Doflamingo's abilities are too troublesome; they can barely even get close. Therefore, they have to find another way; otherwise, they'll exhaust themselves here without ever managing to attack Doflamingo.

So Law and the Straw Hat Boy devised a plan: they would pretend to fight desperately, and then attack Doflamingo.

His method works because of his special abilities.

Law can swap positions with others, if he does so unexpectedly. He could swap Doflamingo's position with him, allowing Straw Hat Boy to attack Doflamingo at close range.

It's highly unlikely that Doflamingo can escape now.

However, this move must be done discreetly, without attracting Doflamingo's attention; otherwise, it will not succeed.

His fight with the Straw Hat Boy was a ploy to mislead Doflamingo, making him believe that he and the Straw Hat Boy had fallen out. That way, Doflamingo wouldn't pay much attention.

"Straw Hat Boy, die!" Law unleashed a ruthless attack, furiously assaulting Straw Hat Boy. Straw Hat Boy, however, was equally relentless, launching a fierce counterattack.

While fighting, Luo used his ability to silently create a huge circle that enveloped the entire area.

In this way, as long as he's within this circle, he can move freely. Furthermore, he can replace whomever he wants.

"Hehe, everything is ready except for the final touch." Luo grinned, feeling much more at ease.

The most difficult part of this move is releasing the circle; he can't let Doflamingo notice. If Doflamingo notices, then he won't succeed.

However, if he successfully releases the circle, then there will be no problem.

Now that he's done, he doesn't need to worry anymore. He can use that move anytime.

"Straw Hat Boy, come on!" Luo shouted. After saying that, he winked at the Straw Hat Boy to indicate that he was ready.

"Okay!" the Straw Hat Boy shouted immediately upon hearing this.

After saying that, he summoned his Haki, wrapping Haki around his fist. Then, he charged straight at Luo. Reaching Luo's side, he slammed his fist down hard.

His fist was already at Law's chest; if Law didn't dodge or block, he would definitely be hit.

However, just as the fist was about to hit Law's body, Law immediately used his ability, switching places with Doflamingo.

He arrived at Doflamingo's location, while Doflamingo arrived at his spot.

Doflamingo had already let his guard down, and being suddenly switched places left him with no time to defend himself.

Therefore, the Straw Hat Boy's fist landed directly on Doflamingo's chest.

That punch from the Straw Hat Boy was no ordinary punch; it was crackling with flames and pierced right through Doflamingo's chest, protruding down his back.

Doflamingo couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his entire spirit became listless.

The reason for this was that the Straw Hat Boy's punch directly injured his internal organs. Internal organs are extremely fragile, and the Straw Hat Boy unleashed his powerful killing move, Doflamingo naturally couldn't withstand.

Despite his injuries, Doflamingo did not fall and remained standing firm.

He glared at the Straw Hat Boy, his face grim, and said coldly, "Good lad, you actually resorted to such a trick. Very well, I was careless just now. However, I won't be careless from now on. You'll all be hunted down by me!"

He had initially assumed that Law and the Straw Hat Boy had really fallen out, so he wasn't on guard. However, he hadn't expected that this was a trap set by Law and the Straw Hat Boy to mislead him and lower his guard.

He let his guard down and immediately fell victim to the trap.

This infuriated him. He was a king, yet he had been tricked by a bunch of brats. It was incredibly humiliating.

Therefore, he decided that he had to get his revenge. Otherwise, he would be utterly incompetent.

"Heh heh, I'm here to hunt you down, prepare to die!" Straw Hat Boy chuckled, then continued his attack.

However, this time, he didn't succeed so easily. Because Doflamingo already knew about his plan.

Doflamingo launched a counterattack and engaged in battle with the Straw Hat Boy.

Meanwhile, Luo dealt with Trebol. He struck again, slicing Trebol into countless pieces. It would take Trebol a long time to recover.

Trebol was furious, staring coldly at Luo, wishing he could tear Luo apart alive right then and there.

However, Ronaldo was completely unconcerned about Trebol's threat.

He and Trebol had long since lost interest in each other, and a battle was inevitable sooner or later. Therefore, he didn't care about the other party's resentment.

If his opponent wanted to fight, then he would accept the challenge. He didn't believe that his strength was inferior to his opponent's.

"Ro, you brat, how dare you treat me like this! I will never let you get away with this!" Trebol said resentfully.

"Hehe, you'd better get your body back in place first! If your body isn't properly reattached, you can't attack me at all. But I can attack you," Luo said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Trebol's expression changed slightly, and he immediately retreated, not daring to get too close to Law. He was worried that Law would cut him into countless pieces again. Although he wouldn't die that way, he would become a cripple, unable to fight.

Law glanced at it but ignored Trebol. Trebol was no longer his target. His target was Doflamingo.

He came here entirely for Doflamingo. He wants to kill Doflamingo; it's something he's always wanted to do.

So, after he dealt with Trebol, he immediately joined the battle. The two of them attacked Doflamingo simultaneously.

The Straw Hat Boy attacked from the left, while Law attacked from behind.

This time, Doflamingo didn't use clones; instead, he fought Law and Straw Hat Boy alone.

Doflamingo is very strong; he held his own against two opponents.

Even Straw Hat Boy and Law could only manage a draw against Doflamingo. At this rate, it seems difficult for them to defeat Doflamingo.

"Heh, with this kind of strength, you think you can kill me? Don't you find it laughable?" Doflamingo sneered.

Even the two of them combined couldn't defeat him. He didn't believe that Law and the Straw Hat Boy could successfully kill him.

"Hmph, we've only just warmed up, what's the rush?" Luo said with a smile.

"Oh, just warming up? That should be enough! Now, you can use your special moves and let me see your strength," Doflamingo said with a smile.

"You'll see," Luo said coldly.

"Really? I'll wait and see. Hopefully, you won't disappoint me," Doflamingo said with a skeptical look.

"Hmph, just you wait!" Luo snorted, then quickened his attack.

The same applies to Straw Hat Boy.

The three fought fiercely, and no one dared to approach them.

Doflamingo used his String-String Fruit power to block Law and Straw Hat Boy's attacks. He created a net to surround himself.

Therefore, Straw Hat Boy and Law must first break through this net before they can attack him.

His net was so strong that ordinary attacks couldn't break through it.

Law and the Straw Hat Boy attacked for a long time but couldn't break through. As a result, they naturally couldn't get close to Doflamingo.

This infuriated Law, because he desperately wanted to deal with Doflamingo! However, he couldn't get close to Doflamingo, so naturally he couldn't do it.

"Damn it, oh damn it, it's like a turtle!" Straw Hat Boy was also very annoyed.

His sole purpose in coming here was to eliminate Doflamingo. However, so much time had passed, and he hadn't yet achieved his goal, naturally causing him dissatisfaction.

"Heh, this is my ability. I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business." Doflamingo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If you can't break through, then you can only wait to die."

"Then I'll break it! I refuse to believe I can't break it!" the Straw Hat Boy shouted.

Having said that, he immediately summoned his Haki and launched a fierce attack. Law also summoned his Haki, covering his Scalpel, preparing for a desperate battle.

Even so, Doflamingo remained calm and composed in the face of the challenge, showing no sign of urgency.

Despite this, Straw Hat Boy and Law persisted and did not give up.

"Boss, Law and Straw Hat Boy Luffy are fighting Doflamingo, and it's a close call. What should we do?" the Little Black Cat said. It already knew the situation through the robot's monitoring.

"No one interfered, right?" Fanxin asked.

If someone interferes, their situation will be extremely dangerous. Doflamingo was never an easy opponent to begin with, and with interference from others, Law and the Straw Hat Boy will be in serious trouble.

"No, that Trebol has already been subdued by Luo, and he won't interfere with them for the time being," the Little Black Cat said.

"I see!" Fanxin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"What's wrong?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.

"I don't understand. Law and Straw Hat Boy have both gone through two years of growth, so they should be quite strong. Why can't they defeat Doflamingo even when they team up?" Fanxin said, frustrated.

He thought that sending those two guys over would solve Doflamingo's problem. However, so much time has passed, and the battle is still undecided.

Furthermore, according to the intelligence that came through, Doflamingo was under no pressure at all. This could only mean that Law and the Straw Hat Boy's attacks had not achieved their intended effect.

"They're probably still testing the waters!" the Little Black Cat said.

"Testing the waters? That's about enough! So much time has passed." Fanxin said, frowning.

"Should we go over and help?" the Little Black Cat asked.

The problem over there remains unresolved, so their efforts here are futile. Their ultimate goal is to defeat Doflamingo. No matter how many of his subordinates die, it won't matter if Doflamingo isn't dead.

"Forget it, they haven't been defeated yet. If I go, I'll just get complaints again," Fanxin said. "Let them fight! I'll go when they're truly defeated by Doflamingo."

Although Law and the Straw Hat Boy are currently at a disadvantage, Fanxin still believes that they will not be easily defeated.

Most importantly, there's Straw Hat Boy. That guy is single-minded; he won't give up until he achieves his goal, and even if he dies there, he will never retreat.

He had seen many of his opponent's past records; every time, he fought until he was completely exhausted and covered in wounds.

He hasn't gone all out yet. So, he feels that the Straw Hat Boy hasn't used his full strength, and there's no need for him to go over.

"Alright then!" Seeing that Fanxin didn't agree to go, the Little Black Cat didn't say anything more.

Then, the two people and the cat waited there.

Doflamingo continued to fight, showing no sign of tension on his face; instead, he wore a relaxed and contented smile.

"Heh, you should just give up! You can't beat me." Doflamingo said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, you're already telling us to give up after just the beginning? Don't you find that ridiculous?" Straw Hat Boy scoffed. "I will definitely defeat you, Doflamingo. Don't get too cocky."

"Me too. I'm here for only one purpose: to kill you," Luo said. "I won't leave until you're dead."

"Hmph, you're all a bunch of arrogant fools. Since you're so stubborn, I'll send you to your death!" Doflamingo was furious when he saw that the two were still clinging to him and unwilling to let go.

He condensed countless threads into a long whip, and then began to attack the two of them.

That thing is incredibly powerful; with a single swing, it sliced through a house in two—it's incredibly sharp.

Law and the Straw Hat Boy immediately dodged to avoid being cut.

They then attacked again, preparing to hunt down Doflamingo.

Doflamingo continued his attack, having discovered a massive net he intended to use to bind the two.

Luo reacted quickly and jumped out immediately. However, the Straw Hat Boy was a step too slow and got tied up in the net. He was completely unable to move.

"Heh heh, now that we've caught one, let's deal with you first!" Doflamingo chuckled and said.

Having said that, he rushed over, ready to kill the bound Straw Hat Boy.

Law's expression changed slightly, and he prepared to intercept them. However, at that moment, Doflamingo released a clone to attack Straw Hat Boy, while he himself went to deal with Law.

In this way, Luo was completely unable to provide assistance.
