Gear Fourth: Boundman (3)

"Hehe, surprised, I can fly, right!" Fanxin said with a smile, seeing Doflamingo's unpleasant expression. "I know many other things, you just don't know them yet."

"So what? You're about to become a dead man," Doflamingo said.

Fanxin's abilities truly surprised him, as Fanxin's methods were diverse and his attack power was formidable. He would be attacked if he wasn't careful.

"Heh, you make it sound so easy. Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, killing me is impossible."

Fanxin Xin scoffed, "What haven't I seen? You think you can wipe me out? That's wishful thinking."

"Hmph, you'll die. Doflamingo, do you see that? The Birdcage is closing in step by step. Once Birdcage's completely closed, you're doomed. You'll be cut into countless pieces by my Birdcage, understand?" Doflamingo said, "It's only a matter of time. I just need to stall for time to finish you off."

"Really? Hehe, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your method won't kill me either." Fanxin Xin couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Doflamingo asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't know yet! I have a space, you know. I can hide inside it. Look." With that, Fanxin Xin immediately entered the space.

After he entered the space, a diamond core the size of a fingertip appeared.

The gaps in this diamond-core Birdcage are much smaller. This way, no matter how the Birdcage is cut, it won't be a problem.

Therefore, Doflamingo's threats were completely useless to him.

The Birdcage was useless to him.

"Damn it." Doflamingo's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

In this way, no matter how long he delays, his Fanxin will never die. And he himself will suffer a great loss.

"Heh, Doflamingo, it's useless. No matter how much you struggle, it's all for naught. What you need to do now is open the Birdcage, set these people free, and then take your crew, leave this place, and go sailing the seas to become pirates."

Fanxin said, "Since you're a pirate, you should have the awareness of a pirate. If you don't have that awareness, you're destined to be wiped out."

"Yes, I might not be able to kill you in one blow right now, but I'm not in a hurry. Because I have time to fight you. When you're tired, when Straw Hat Boy's Haki has returned, when all those masters are free, we'll join forces and destroy you."

"We're all pirates, so there's no such thing as being cunning or not. With so many of us attacking you, you have no choice but to accept it; you have no right to object, understand?"

"Hmph, don't think you can escape. Let me tell you, you may escape, but your companions won't. They'll still die," Doflamingo said with a snort.

"Excuse me, I have another helper. Did you see her earlier? She can spatialize a person's body. I can have her use her power to transform my companions and everyone here into tiny spaces and send them outside. That way, you won't be able to kill anyone." Fanxin said, "This Birdcage you created is a joke, understand?"

"Since that's the case, then go ahead and give it a try!" Doflamingo said coldly.

Earlier, when he saw Ren Fang spatialize the Straw Hat Boy, he was somewhat wary. If Ren Fang really made a move, he might end up with nothing.

Therefore, he was furious and wished he could immediately kill Fanxin. That way, no one could stop him.

"Hehe, come on! I'll play with you for a bit," Fanxin said.

With that, Fanxin launched his attack, wielding his diamond sword and unleashing a powerful sword aura that shot straight towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo gave a soft snort, then manipulated a tentacle to strike at the Fanxin, blocking the sword energy.

Then, he took the initiative and went straight for Fanxin, preparing to Fanxin in close combat.

Without Fanxin, Fan Xin moved closer and engaged in close combat with his opponent.

They fought a fierce battle high in the sky, which many people below witnessed and found incredible. Doflamingo was incredibly powerful, and for someone to dare challenge Doflamingo was truly remarkable.

Whether they were ordinary citizens, sailors, or pirates, they were all looking up at the sky.

Whether they can get out depends on the outcome of the aerial battle.

If Fanxin wins, they can leave. If Fanxin Xin loses, they will become prisoners.

Therefore, they were very nervous.

They were focused on the sky, but Fanxin and Doflamingo, who were in the air, had no interest in paying attention to them.

Because they are having their toughest showdown yet.

They couldn't afford to be distracted, because their strengths were roughly equal; if either of them became distracted, they could very well be injured or killed by the other.

After attacking for five minutes, Fanxin Xin retreated and did not continue the attack.

Because Doflamingo gathered those tentacles together, creating a thick, spiderweb-like wall that kept all of his attacks out.

Fanxin was insufficient to break through the Spider Wall, and Doflamingo was injured.

Therefore, he would have to retreat first and then find another way. Otherwise, he would only waste his energy.

"Heh heh, keep attacking, keep attacking, why stop?" Doflamingo chuckled, looking quite smug.

"Hmph, you think you're absolutely safe just because you've put up a tortoise shell there?" Fanxin said, "Watch me break through your tortoise shell and leave you nowhere to hide."

That thing was blocking his way. If he wanted to hurt Doflamingo, he had to break through the Spider Wall; that was his only way.

If he can't do that, he'll never be able to hurt Doflamingo and end it all.

"Hmph, then let's try! Kid, I'd like to see what you're capable of," Doflamingo said with a snort.

He didn't believe that Fanxin could break through his defenses, because these were his strongest defenses, and he was very confident in them.

"Hehe, you'll see soon enough," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Then let's do it!" Doflamingo seemed extremely excited, as if he had won the lottery.

"Hmph, I'll grant your wish," Fanxin snorted.

Without further hesitation, he sheathed his twin swords and quickly merged with the Diamond Beast.

One minute later, he fused with eight hundred Diamond Beast.

Having finished, he charged straight at Doflamingo and reached him.

Fanxin immediately made his move, smashing it fiercely against Doflamingo's Spider Wall.

Doflamingo immediately focused all his power on the Spider Wall, preparing to block Fanxin's attack.

Their attacks collided at that instant.

A massive shockwave emanated from this point and began to spread outwards.

Many people were unsteady on their feet and almost collapsed to the ground, which shows how powerful the shockwave was.

"Ah..." Fanxin exerted all his strength and pushed towards Doflamingo, preparing to unleash his powerful explosive force on Doflamingo.

However, Doflamingo was no easy opponent either; he too was giving it his all, preparing for a final battle against Fanxin.

The battle lasted for more than ten seconds before Doflamingo's Spider Wall finally gave way and slowly crumbled.

Fanxin's fist shattered everything and headed straight for Doflamingo.

Doflamingo tried to dodge, but it was too late; Fanxin's fist slammed into his chest.

The immense force of the punch was unleashed upon Doflamingo's chest. Doflamingo's entire body bent over from the force, resembling a lobster.

"Go to hell!" Fanxin shouted.

After saying that, he punched Doflamingo again, this time right on the head.

Under the fierce attack of his Fanxin, Doflamingo's body could not withstand the strain and was eventually torn to pieces.

"Hmm, this isn't flesh and blood?" Fanxin glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

Doflamingo's body had shattered, but no blood flowed out; there were only threads.

"This isn't the real Doflamingo, it's just his Doflamingo," the Little Black Cat said after a glance. "That bastard's real body has been hidden for a long time."

It observed with its Mechanical Eye and found that there was no flesh and blood, only a jumble of lines forming a blocky mass.

"Damn it, I got tricked! I'm so angry!" Fanxin shouted angrily.

He had been fighting tooth and nail with his opponent until now, thinking he could finally kill him. But instead, the opponent had used a stand-in to fool him, wasting a lot of his time. He was furious and wanted nothing more than to find Doflamingo immediately and give the opponent a good rest.

"Where is he? Find him for me," Fanxin said.

"Wait a moment, I'll look for it right away," said the Little Black Cat.

After saying that, it began to investigate on its own. At the same time, it also contacted the robots scattered in various locations, instructing them to also begin searching for Doflamingo's whereabouts.

Fanxin immediately disarmed Armament and returned to his original state.

Doflamingo's current location is unknown, making it difficult for him to maintain his current state. Therefore, he has no choice but to temporarily Armament and wait for an opportunity.

After disarming Armament, he began using his Haki to scan his surroundings, searching for Doflamingo's location.

However, it seemed that Doflamingo knew he was looking for him, and he hid very well. He searched for a long time but found no trace of him.

"Did you find it?" Fanxin asked, looking at the Little Black Cat.

He didn't find it, but he hoped the Little Black Cat had found something.

"No, I don't know where that bastard went," the Little Black Cat said dejectedly.

"Damn it, what exactly does that guy want?" Fanxin was furious. Doflamingo's hiding had made things even worse.

He couldn't even deal with Doflamingo, and he couldn't rescue the people here either.

Doflamingo is very attached to these people; Doflamingo won't let them go easily unless he defeats them.

In that case, once he leaves, Doflamingo will make a comeback.

Someone like Doflamingo, unless he loses interest in this place, will stick to it relentlessly.

What he needs to do is defeat Doflamingo and then completely liberate this place.

That way, when Doflamingo comes here again, he'll be reminded of his tragic past, and he won't be interested in targeting this place anymore.

However, now that he can't find Doflamingo, none of this can be achieved.

"We still can't find it, what should we do?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"It seems we'll have to stick to that one move," Fanxin said.

"That move? Which move?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

"Have Ren Fang spatialize everything here, so Doflamingo will have nowhere to hide."

Fanxin said, "In that case, Doflamingo will have no choice but to come out and face me. Otherwise, he'll just be dismembered by Ren Fang."

If Doflamingo were to be dismembered by Ren Fang, he would lose his freedom. Therefore, he believed that Doflamingo would not be so foolish as to allow himself to become a prisoner.

That way, Doflamingo will appear.

"Hmm, but this place is huge! Ren Fang will be under a lot of strain!" the Little Black Cat said.

Although the Birdcage is much smaller than the one in Dressrosa,

It's still quite large, relatively speaking.

Ren Fang wanted to divide up a territory of such a large area, which would be extremely difficult. It was worried that something might happen to Ren Fang.

"There's nothing we can do about it; we can only let her do her best," Fanxin said helplessly.

He can't force Doflamingo out if he doesn't do this. He doesn't have time to play hide-and-seek with Doflamingo; he has to finish this quickly.

"Alright! Let's do it this way then!" Seeing that Fanxin insisted, the Little Black Cat had no choice but to agree.

After that, Fanxin said no more and immediately released Ren Fang.

"How is it? Is Straw Hat Boy alright?" Fanxin asked.

"It's nothing serious, he just overused his Haki and is temporarily exhausted. He'll recover after resting for a while," Ren Fang said.

"That's good. Let him rest inside. That kid has already done his best," Fanxin said.

"It doesn't seem like that will work," Ren Fang said helplessly.

"Oh, what is it?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"That kid kept saying he wanted to come out, that it would only take ten minutes," Ren Fang said.

"Still so stubborn? Doesn't he understand his current situation?" Fanxin said with dissatisfaction.

The Straw Hat Boy Pirates are completely exhausted and unable to fight anymore. If he tries to force his way in, he'll definitely suffer.

"But he kept pestering me, and I had no choice but to agree to his request," Ren Fang said.

"I see. We'll talk about it then!" Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

Now that he can't find any trace of Doflamingo, letting him out wouldn't do any good. So, he can only let the kid stay in the Diamond Space for the time being.
