Luffy, Purer Than X Zhen

"I know you all have some complaints about this result, but I need to remind you of one thing: Sabo's original intention was to prevent the Marines from interfering with the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates and their Corrida Colosseum fighters. Therefore, although this battle ended in a draw, Sabo has achieved his goal. Thus, the final result should be considered Sabo's victory. My judgment is correct, so there is absolutely no foul play involved. As for drawing Luffy Straw Hat Luffy, it's purely because he was lucky. My lottery principle has always been fairness and impartiality. You don't need to argue anymore!"

Faced with this explanation from Heavenly Dao, although some people were still dissatisfied, most people felt that what He said made sense and chose to accept it.

Thus, this minor incident was dropped, and the world's attention returned to the video footage, where they were met with a shocking scene.

In the video footage, Luffy is lying in an overturned well, while in front of him are Lucy, who is seriously injured, and Law, who is unable to move due to his Seastone Handcuffs.

Not far from them, Doflamingo was watching them with a smug look on his face.

The next second, the scene shifts back to a short time ago, when Lucy, still full of vigor, was leading Luffy, Law, Abdullah, and Jeet as they desperately ran towards the top of the New King's Plateau.

Suddenly, Kelly Fanku, who had merged with his younger brother, appeared from the side. He first cleared away the small fry blocking Luffy and the others' path, and then, using the excuse that he had been saved by Usopp, told Luffy and the others that he had a shortcut that could take them away.

Without a second thought, Luffy and his crew arrived at a dark passage under his guidance.

Luffy immediately Lucy to run down the shortcut so he could reach Doflamingo before the others. At the same time, he also made sure to thank Kelly Van Cleef.

Lucy obeyed him and galloped off into the dark passage, not even noticing that Abdullah and Jeet had been knocked down by the entrance.

When Luffy, his companion, and the bull arrived inside the passage, they discovered that there was no shortcut at all, only a puddle full of water.

Law immediately realized they had been tricked, but it was too late. Doflamingo appeared behind them, and Luffy immediately launched an attack, but Doflamingo easily dodged it and instead shot Lucy, who was beneath him, seriously injuring him.

And so, the scene described earlier unfolded.

On the screen, a barrage of speechless comments immediately appeared: {No way, how could you fall for such an obvious trap? Straw Hat Luffy!}

{I really want to see what's going on in Straw Hat Luffy's head all day! He actually fell for this kind of trick, it's infuriating!}

Sometimes, I'm really driven crazy by the Straw Hat Luffy Master's stupidity!

{So innocent, so incredibly innocent! This Straw Hat Luffy is even more innocent than X-Men!}

On the other side, in the video footage, Doflamingo looked at Luffy and his companion, arms outstretched, and said with immense pride, "Those guys outside who're clamoring to take my head are really making a big fuss! Under these circumstances, it's amazing you still managed to find crewmates! Straw Hat Luffy."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Luffy, who was lying helplessly in the water. "I've already witnessed your special ability back in the Paramount War, but I never expected you to be such a complete idiot."

At this point, he turned to look at Luo on the ox's back and said sternly, "Why did you choose this guy? Luo, I thought you were a good judge of character! You were even more ruthless and cunning back then! I never expected you to have fallen to such a low level. You really disappoint me! Luo, who turned you into this useless person who can't even recognize people?"

"Shut up, Doflamingo!" Law roared through gritted teeth, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I don't want to end up like you! I've already been redeemed!"

"Ah! Redemption? Fuh fuh." Doflamingo raised his hand and pointed at Law on the bull's back, sneering, "By my brother Corazon, huh? In that case, you, a piece of trash, are utterly useless. You and this idiot in front of you can say goodbye to this world in this boring way!"

However, before Doflamingo could make a move, two figures suddenly appeared from behind, one wielding a sword and the other a halberd, plunging them into Doflamingo's body.

The newcomers were none other than Abdullah and Jeet, who had been thrown out of the passage earlier.

The injured Doflamingo fell forward and knelt on both knees. The next second, his entire body turned into countless thin threads.

This scene immediately stunned everyone present except for Luo.

It seemed he had already guessed that the Doflamingo in front of him wasn't the real Doflamingo, but rather a clone.

Luo then briefly explained the situation to everyone present. Although Abdullah and the other two didn't understand, they immediately stepped forward and rescued Luffy, Abdula, and the cow who were soaking in the water.

Luffy, who was rescued, immediately thanked the two of them, but Abdullah and the other man were still immersed in the joy of killing Doflamingo.

Law could only silently explain to them once more that the Doflamingo they had just killed was not the real Doflamingo, but merely an clone of him!

Luffy then remembered that Doflamingo had said he was there to rescue them.

Hearing Luffy's words, Abdullah and the other man recounted what had happened outside. It turned out that after Kelly Fanku lured them into the passage, he intended to come in and deal with them, but Doflamingo suddenly appeared and took care of him. They had followed Doflamingo in quietly and only intervened to save them when they saw Doflamingo about to attack them.

That's how the scene described earlier came about.

Luffy was furious when he learned that he had been indirectly saved by Doflamingo. However, the next second, Abdullah and the other two brought Luffy another piece of bad news.

That is—the warriors of the Corrida Colosseum have all successfully reached the second level.

This greatly displeased Luffy, who was unwilling to fall behind. So, staring at the ceiling of the passage, he decided that since there was no shortcut, he would create one himself. He unleashed his "Gum-Gum- Elephant Gun," punching right through it.

This left Abdullah and the others present completely stunned.

However, Luffy didn't have time to waste with them. After handing Lucy over to them, he picked up Law, stretched out his arm, and flew out through the large hole he had blasted. He arrived at the second level and finally reunited with the warriors of the Corrida Colosseum, who had already reached the second level a short while earlier.
