Law vs. Doflamingo, an enraged Luffy
Then, the camera pans back to the top of the New King's Plateau, to the battlefield where Law vs. Doflamingo are fighting.
The two clashed again and again, and separated time and time again.
It appeared that the two were locked in a stalemate, but in reality, Law was far more exhausted than Doflamingo due to his severe injuries sustained in the previous battle with Doflamingo, coupled with the effects of his Devil Fruit ability.
Even so, while fighting Doflamingo, he still opened a spatial barrier and asked Doflamingo, who was floating in mid-air, "What do you think of Monkey D. Luffy?!"
"Huh?" Doflamingo looked at him, puzzled, not understanding what Luo meant.
Law continued, "I only learned today that you were once Celestial Dragons."
As he spoke, he threw a small stone at Doflamingo, then activated his Devil Fruit ability, "Shambles."
"Call out!"
Law switched places with Little Stone and appeared behind Doflamingo, thrusting his sword at him.
But Doflamingo grabbed it with his hand, which was imbued with Armament Haki.
Luo seemed to have anticipated this, and didn't show much surprise, but continued to ask, "What's your opinion on 'D'?"
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's face immediately darkened. He gripped the sword tightly, causing blood to flow from the blade. He said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't actually think that Straw Hat Luffy Luffy was sent here by fate to take my head, the one who inherited the blood of God, do you?! How utterly foolish."
As he spoke, Doflamingo pulled forcefully, dragging Law, who was back-to-back with him, in front of him. Not only did he pull the sword out of Law's hand, but he also grew five lines from the tips of his fingers and swung them towards Law.
However, his attack was also blocked by Law's arm, which was imbued with Armament Haki. Law then shouted at him, "Because I am also 'D'."
"Huh?!" Doflamingo was startled, and with a sudden burst of force, he slashed the stone wall behind Law to pieces.
At the last moment, Law himself used his Devil Fruit ability to switch places with a rock and regain control of the sword.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Doflamingo's attacks came at him like a sudden storm.
"You're 'D'? Anonymous? Are you trying to say your arrival here was fate? Do you think being 'D' means you can stop me?" Doflamingo attacked while hysterically demanding, "The idea that the ' Clan of D is the Enemy of the Gods is nothing but superstition!"
Faced with this almost frantic questioning, Law remained silent. Instead, he silently activated a spatial shield, raised the sword in his hand, aimed it at Doflamingo's abdomen, and shouted, "Injection/Fire!"
"Puff!"
A shockwave passed straight through Doflamingo's body, causing him to fall backward and kneel on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Even if Mr. Corazon hadn't said it, I would have known." Law pointed his sword at Doflamingo and said in a deep voice, "With just one word in his name, he could never have defeated you. That was merely an opportunity! I'm here simply to pull the trigger that the kind-hearted Mr. Corazon should have pulled that day!"
The screen immediately erupted with a flurry of excited comments: {Go Trafalgar Law! Just kill Doflamingo already!}
{Go! Trafalgar Law, avenge Mr. Corazon!}
Wow! That's so cool! Trafalgar Law, that's amazing!
Corazon certainly didn't save the wrong person; Trafalgar Law is a man who knows how to repay kindness.

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"Not enough, this is far from enough." Law clenched his fist and muttered, "Doflamingo isn't someone who can be defeated so easily."
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Trafalgar Law, I'm begging you! You must avenge Rosinante!" Sengoku said, his face filled with a hint of expectation.
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Fuck you, pull the trigger for Corazon? You think you're worthy!" Doflamingo scoffed.
On the other side, in the video footage, Trebol, who had recovered, saw Doflamingo injured and couldn't help but call out to him anxiously.
To everyone's surprise, the next second, Doflamingo stood up as if nothing had happened. He not only easily blocked Law's sword, but also gracefully took small steps, using his Devil Fruit power to stand in mid-air, looking down at Law and constantly mocking him.
Luo Xuan immediately unleashed a massive spatial shield, enveloping the entire castle within it, and slashed at Doflamingo in mid-air.
However, Doflamingo easily blocked it with his foot imbued with Armament Haki. Not only that, he also turned around and kicked Law, sending him crashing into the castle below, instantly raising a cloud of dust.
Doflamingo then floated down from above, like a god descending to earth, onto the castle, gazing at the billowing dust as he searched for Law's figure.
The next second, Law suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust, his thumbs crackling with blue electricity, and charged towards Doflamingo, shouting, "Heart Shock!"
In the blink of an eye, Law was in front of Doflamingo, but his attack had no effect and was easily dodged by Doflamingo, who then fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Trebol, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but taunt Luo.
On the screen, annoyed comments immediately appeared: {Seriously, this guy is so annoying! Can't Trafalgar Law at least beat him up first?!}
That snotty-nosed brat really talks a lot! I really want to cut his tongue out.
Shut up! This guy is really annoying me!
Is this guy some kind of Doflamingo buffing someone? Why is he talking so much?!
{...}
{...}
In the video footage, Law didn't seem to care much about Trebol's taunts. Instead, he unleashed a slash at Doflamingo, which Doflamingo easily dodged.
However, Luo's target was not him, but the outer tower of the castle behind him.
"Bang!"
The outer tower of the castle was sliced off by Law's slash and, under the effect of the spatial shield he created, crashed towards Doflamingo and Trebol.
Trebol immediately called out Doflamingo's name in a panic.
Doflamingo, however, calmly stretched his hand upwards, "Spider Web Wall."
The next second, a white spider web woven from threads appeared in front of Doflamingo and his group, not only blocking the outer wall from crashing down on them, but also cutting a small part of it to shreds.
"Bang bang bang..."
In an instant, countless stones rained down on the castle from the sky.
Luo immediately opened his palm, and the falling stones crashed towards Doflamingo.
"Bang!"
A cloud of dust rose up, but instead of being hit by the rocks, Doflamingo stepped on them and floated upwards.
Luo immediately followed, and Doflamingo raised his hand and lashed out with a whip, but Luo used his ability to swap positions with a rock, stretched out his hand, aimed at Doflamingo's heart, and prepared to strike it with a palm.
But Doflamingo held him firmly. He was no longer as angry as he had been when Law provoked him with his words. Instead, he looked at Law coldly and said disdainfully, "Don't use such useless attacks on me anymore! I never expected you to become such a hot-headed fool. You've really disappointed me!"
At this point, he removed Luo's hand from his heart. "You haven't grasped the situation at all. You're always fixated on those trivial things, which is why you can't make decisions at crucial moments. You still can't pull the trigger—no, you can't even put your finger on it."
As he spoke, a mocking smile played on his lips. "The weaker the creature, the more fixated they are on the suffering of others, ultimately leading themselves down a path of no return. If you truly wanted to kill me, you should have continued with the plan to instigate the conflict between me and Kaido. There are countless ways to eliminate an enemy, but your feelings for Corazon have clouded your judgment. By attempting to defeat me by surprise, you've already sealed your own fate!"
Upon hearing this, Luo's expression changed slightly, and for a moment, it became rather unpleasant.
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Fufu, I've really gone to great lengths for you!" Doflamingo said with a sinister smile. "But you certainly won't listen, will you?! Law."
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"Use someone else to kill you?" Luo opened his hand, an air shield appearing in his palm. A conflicted look flickered in his eyes, but quickly turned to determination. He murmured, "No, Doflamingo, only killing you with my own hands would be the most meaningful thing for Mr. Corazon."
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Heh heh heh, Doflamingo actually knows his place!" Kaido. "It's just a pity he's too weak! Don't you agree, Caesar?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Caesar, who stood silently to the side.
"Swoosh, you're absolutely right, Kaido," Caesar said obsequiously.
In the video footage, Doflamingo continues to verbally provoke Law, bringing up his fatal mistake years ago: if he hadn't handed the documents to Vergo, none of the tragedies that befell Dressrosa would have occurred, indirectly causing Corazon's death.
Surprisingly, after hearing Doflamingo's words, Law calmed down, stared intently at him, and asked, "Is that really what you think?"
Doflamingo paused slightly, somewhat surprised by Law's composure, but still smiled and said, "Of course not. No matter how that document might change the battle plan, I will ultimately be the one to ascend the throne of this country."
With that, he grabbed Law's hands, lifted them up, and with a forceful pull, caused Law's sword to fall from his grasp. Then, a line appeared from his foot, resting on Law's right arm, and he taunted, "All that Corazon did, risking his life, was in vain! In the end, it all came to naught."
Hearing this, Luo glared at him resentfully and said firmly, "The outcome is not for you to decide. Everything I did until my death was the hope left behind by Mr. Corazon."
"I see, that's truly touching!" Doflamingo scoffed. "Then, whatever happens next, whether it's tragedy or a loss of composure, only what has been done is considered reality."
As he spoke, he grabbed Law's hands and, like marbles, sent them plummeting downwards. "The same applies to your eating of the Op-Op Fruit, your declaration of war against me on Punk Hazard, and now your challenge to a duel with me."
"Bang!"
As Doflamingo finished speaking, he and Law landed on the castle, immediately raising clouds of dust.
After the smoke cleared, Law's right arm had been severed by Doflamingo, and he was lying on the ground screaming in pain.
On the screen, a barrage of terrified comments immediately appeared: {Holy crap, that's... that's terrifying! Just watching it makes me feel pain. I really feel sorry for Trafalgar Law!}
{Oh my god! Trafalgar Law's screams sent chills down my spine! It looked so painful.}
{This is inhuman! He just sliced off a person's arm in one go. Doflamingo is definitely a twisted freak.}
Trafalgar Law has lost an arm, how is he going to fight Doflamingo now?! Where's Straw Hat Luffy? Help him!
{...}

In the video footage, as Luo screamed in agony, Trebol, standing nearby, shouted excitedly.
"Looks like you've been influenced by the other 'D'!" Doflamingo looked at Law disdainfully and said, "Including your direct challenge to me, it's all a fact now, so I forgive you."
Then, he pulled out a pistol from behind his back, "Just like you forgave my father and brother back then, let me pay for it with my death!"
As he spoke, he pointed the gun at Luo, "Execution is indeed better done with lead bullets, don't you think?!"
Having said that, he prepared to pull the trigger of the pistol in his hand.
Suddenly, a strange thing happened. A loud noise came from the hole where Luffy fallen earlier, and the next second, a figure flew out along with the billowing smoke.
It was a white figure made of threads, but it had been shattered into pieces—it was Doflamingo's thread clone.
Trebol was immediately startled, and Doflamingo's face also showed a hint of seriousness, while only Law's face showed a hint of smugness.
Immediately afterwards, Luffy's furious voice echoed from inside the large hole, "Get out here, Doflamingo! Did you hear me?"
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo gave a helpless smile and sighed, "It seems this cage is still too narrow to keep him locked up!"
