Big News (Third Week Without a Recommendation-I Miss It (?﹏?))
Roy's Senior Executive quickly reacted and launched an attack on Doflamingo, whose fate was unknown.
Baby-5 transformed into a giant shield, blocking Doflamingo's attack and temporarily stopping all the damage.
"Don't worry about us, take the young master and go first." Diamante and Trebol, true to their loyalty to Doflamingo, didn't care about their own lives at all, only hoping to hold off Roy for a moment.
"It's so noisy! I can't leave in this situation, okay?" The shield formed by baby-5 has limited defensive capabilities, and it has already done its best to achieve the current situation.
Roy's subordinates may be somewhat weaker than the top executives of the Donquixote Family, but they are far superior to ordinary executives. Baby-5 and Buffalo are no match for them.
Watching from afar, Luo Xinshen was filled with excitement. He never expected that the opportunity to avenge his enemy was so close. He looked at Roy with admiration. This pirate captain, who looked even younger than him, had actually defeated Doflamingo, a powerful enemy. Doflamingo was no pushover; he was an absolute powerhouse even among the Shichibukai.
But before he could take a few steps, he heard that nightmarish voice again. "You're really something, you actually got tricked, Phantom Sword Roy, I really underestimated you."
Doflamingo emerged from behind Baby-5, staggering, his abdomen nearly shattered, even his intestines twisted. He looked incredibly disheveled, but no one dared to underestimate him, because a man like him, as long as he lived, was a tremendous deterrent.
Diamante and Trebol quickly retreated and stood guard in front of Doflamingo. Roy also signaled his men to retreat. Now that Doflamingo had woken up, the plan to beat him while he was down had failed.
Despite his current advantage, Roy doesn't believe that his opponent, Doflamingo, is without any trump cards to protect him. Now that his objective has been achieved, there's no need to drag this out any longer.
"Phantom Sword Roy, you've really hidden yourself well. The Sea Stone Weapon and the ability to acquire it out of thin air—you've died so many times and still haven't revealed it."
That's right, the Sea Stone Weapon obtained on Dongdong Island is Roy's trump card. After all, Sea Stone is the nemesis of Devil Fruit User. It can not only render Devil Fruit users powerless, but also temporarily turn them into ordinary people.
Roy originally intended to take this opportunity to kill Doflamingo, but he didn't expect Doflamingo's physique to be so strong that he actually managed to hold on. There's a reason why peak powerhouses don't die so easily.
In reality, Roy's previous idiotic explanation of his abilities, mentioning attacks that were absolutely unavoidable, was merely a ploy to instill a fixed mindset in Doflamingo, making him believe that Roy's attacks were impossible to dodge.
In fact, Roy's previous attacks were indeed unavoidable, but Roy's final strike required him to retrieve the Sea Stone Weapon from the Dream Space at the last moment, which would cause a brief pause. This would give Doflamingo a chance to dodge. Therefore, everything Roy did before was a setup for the final strike.
"What a deep scheme! My defeat today was well-deserved. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of waves a man like you will make after entering the Grand Line, fufufufu!"
After saying that Doflamingo turned around and boarded the Buffalo's Aircraft, seemingly not worried at all that Roy would launch a sneak attack. Diamante and Trebol, on the other hand, were on high alert until they took to the skies, at which point they felt a little more at ease.
"Captain, should we..." Jin gestured with his hand, asking Roy whether they should go all out and kill them all.
"No need. Although he is seriously injured, he still retains some strength. If he were to resort to desperate measures, it would only result in mutual destruction, allowing others to benefit. Moreover, given Doflamingo's personality, he definitely won't come looking for trouble again until he is absolutely certain he can counter my killing move."
There was one more thing Roy didn't mention: he was also nearing the end of his life. Although he still had one chance to be resurrected, as Doflamingo had said, his mental state was beyond repair. He was already suffering from a splitting headache and was only putting on a brave face.
Moreover, Roy and Doflamingo were well aware that although Roy's final attack could be dodged, Doflamingo's Observation Haki was suppressed by Roy, so he only had an 80% chance of successfully avoiding it.
In other words, both sides have the potential to kill each other. Although Doflamingo has the upper hand overall, the two of them don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, and he wouldn't risk his life for an order from the World Government. Let the World Government deal with Roy's troubles.
Furthermore, in Roy's view, Doflamingo's strength may have reached its limit, but he still has a lot of room for growth. When they meet again, their roles may be reversed, so there is really no need to fight Doflamingo head-on.
Law stopped in time, feeling incredibly frustrated as he watched Doflamingo and his group disappear into the air. But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't force Roy to fight them head-on. After all, even a wrecked ship has three thousand nails, and someone like Doflamingo couldn't possibly be without any trump cards to protect himself.
Watching Roy and his group cheering, he hesitated for a moment before turning to leave. Although he shared a common enemy with Roy, their strengths were unequal, making an equal dialogue impossible. Moreover, as Devil Fruit User, his value was immense; it was possible that Roy might also seek immortality or capture him and hand him over to the World Government to have his warrant lifted.
Having spent many years in the Dark World, he had long since developed a cautious personality, and naturally he would not put himself in danger because of his own wishful thinking.
However, Roy's terrifying strength and meticulous mind left a very deep impression on him. He even thought that even if he had to face another Shichibukai, he could not face an enemy like Roy.
Roy was also unaware of Law's presence and departure. Although his Observation Haki was incredibly powerful, he had already overused it in the previous battles, and now he felt like he was about to explode just thinking about it. He never expected that two future Supernovas had come to an island.
The island had become a hotbed of controversy, destined to attract the world's attention, and Roy, needing to recuperate, naturally left early.
"How is that possible? How could Doflamingo lose?" In fact, Roy and Doflamingo didn't care about the life or death of a nobody like Bellamy, but he was lucky enough to survive the aftermath of their fight. However, his spirit was severely damaged, not only by Doflamingo's contempt but also by the shattering of Doflamingo's invincible myth in his heart.
"So the future really can be changed, and the shackles of fate can be broken. It seems Captain Roy was right. Fate is never immutable, and the future should be in our own hands. Thank you for your guidance, Captain Roy. I will also embark on the path of piracy, following in your footsteps, and become a pirate who can control his own destiny."
Roy never imagined that Hawkins, one of the future Supernovas, would become a pirate because of him. The world is full of strange things.
In the distance, a large, plump bird excitedly opened its sharp beak.
"One of the Shichibukai Heavenly Yaksha Sea, Doflamingo, was defeated by the super rookie Phantom Sword Roy. This is Big News Morgans!"
