Doflamingo Attacks: Assault on Doflamingo

On the sea surface at a 60-degree angle,

The Sunny Merry Luffy.

"Sigh, the sea here feels like it's going downhill."

Nami sighed in response to Luffy's words and directed the White Knight beside her to steer the ship away from the faintly visible reefs in the sea.

"It's not just that it seems like we're going downhill in the sea, that's why it's going so fast."

"This is 'Haibaka,' it's very common—"

Usopp couldn't help but retort at Law's calm words.

"What do you mean, 'often seen'?!"

"By the way, Nami, what island are we going to visit next?"

Usopp turned to ask, while Nami pointed to the pointer on her wrist.

"Dressrosa, the country of the Shichibukai — Donquixote Doflamingo. —However, at Law's insistence, we'll have to take a long detour..."

"Aaaaaah! Why is this the lair of the most ferocious of the Shichibukai?!"

"The battle has begun."

"What kind of operation?"

Chopper asked in confusion, while Luffy enthusiastically patted Law on the shoulder and introduced Chopper, Franky, and Brook.

"We've formed an alliance with Trafalgar's pirates, so let's all get along well from now on. Hehehe~~"

"... The key point is that we work together to deal with the 'Four Emperors'."

Luo added with a helpless expression.

Luffy's introduction: Those who know him might think it's Pirate Alliance, but those who don't might mistake it for some kind of hobby group...

"Dealing with the 'Four Emperors' is quite interesting."

Usopp couldn't help but comment on Zoro's enthusiastic words.

"What's so interesting about that?!"

"Raise your hand if you disagree!"

As Usopp raised his hand to make the suggestion, Chopper followed suit. When Brook asked, "May I raise my hand?", Sanji sighed.

"Anyway Luffy has already made his decision, hasn't he?"

Then there's no need to worry about going back on your word, but:

"By this time, wouldn't someone already be explaining to us how powerful the 'Four Emperors' are...?"

As he spoke, Sanji glanced back at the White Knight at the helm, then turned to look at Luffy.

"Luffy, is the White Knight incident also included in the 'alliance'?"

"Hehehe, sure."

Pang Lei, sitting Luffy understood Sanji's meaning.

"Trafalgar is trustworthy. During the Marineford War, it was he and Roman who rescued me and Jinbe from the bottom of the sea."

"Nami, Roman, what's going on—"

Since that's the case, Sanji stopped hiding it and pointed at the White Knight. It was just a simple puppet, and Roman, his comrade, was nowhere to be found.

"Roman is still in Punk Hazard; he said he would stay to take care of the children."

Since Luffy agreed... and he had already called out "Roman"Roman to the White Knight, Nami probably already had a guess given Shichibukai's meticulous mind, so Nami didn't hide it anymore.

"Don't worry, he has the 'Swap Ability'. He can come back immediately whenever needed."

"I suggest that Roman return immediately!"

Usopp, huddled together, was the first to raise his hand, followed closely by Chopper. Without Roman, the Straw Hat crew could easily fall into the hands of any powerful enemy; they simply lacked a sense of security!

"The first day I missed Roman,"

"Me too..." And at this moment, Roman...

Punk Hazard, in the cabins of Fleet 211:

A group of naval personnel were racking their brains over how to accommodate these enormous 'children'. — Apart from the warships of giant Vice Admiral, most Marine warship were not specifically designed with cabins that could accommodate a seven- or eight-meter-tall person.

"We only show up after the problem is solved, making it seem like we're just here to get credit."

In response to Borgin's complaints, Roman simply pointed to the side and said, "You've come at the right time. Take some men to register these children, and then notify their families to come to Marine Headquarters."

Not everyone has the courage to accept a child who has suddenly transformed into a giant. Charlotte Linlin was sent to the territory of the Giant race by Big Mom parents because she unintentionally destroyed her home. —Perhaps what she saw as normal play was, to ordinary people...

And this is already considered very good! The Big Mom's parents clearly have some wealth and influence; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to send her to the Giant race. They hope she can find a place to live in Giant race territory, while these children being used as test subjects...

Their parents are all ordinary people. If they were allowed to return, a single turn of the clock could reduce their life's work and possessions to rubble. They might even accidentally injure their parents. Therefore:

"The Navy is the best place for them. It's a good opportunity to give those giant Vice Admiral something to do besides drinking and fighting."

"... I don't think Uncle John and his family have the patience to take care of children,"

Roman waved his hand in response to Borgin's criticism.

"It's alright, any officer of colonel rank or above is capable of leading these 'big kids.' Should we entrust them with this—?"

"A 'guest' has arrived. I'll go and take care of him/her first."

"Fufufufu, Smoker!"

On the other side, the G-5 Navy looked at the tall man who had suddenly appeared out of the sky with short blond hair, red eye-shaped sunglasses, a pink feather coat, and pointed shoes under his cropped trousers, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Let's not even talk about Law. Aren't the Straw Hat crew all pirates? Where are they? And where did those brats go?!"

"Who knows, Joker."

Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, answered calmly and confidently.

"Even the base commander of Vergo was crippled, what can I do?"

Click,

Amidst the bulging veins on his forehead, a nearly transparent thread appeared on each of Doflamingo's five outstretched fingers.

"You little rascal... you know a bit too much."

Brush--

"Words are unnecessary when there is no common ground; a murderous aura surges forth!" Doflamingo raised his hand, and five nearly transparent threads suddenly attacked Smoker. The broken cigar, splattered with blood, drew back the curtain on the battle.

"Five Color Strings!"

········

Um?

Smoker, are you even capable?!

Because Roman's Team 211 was primarily composed of "Second-generation Marine officers," while Smoker's G-5 Squadron had a reputation as a "rogue" within the navy, the two navies were practically at odds. Therefore, the Team 211 was responsible for calming children and guarding prisoners on the warships, while the G-5 Squadron was responsible for moving laboratory equipment and data. The result:

It's only been a short distance, but from the moment Roman spotted Doflamingo landing near G-5 until he arrived, Smoker suffered his third consecutive defeat of the day...

"Vice Admiral Smoker!"

"Stop!!"

"Fufufu, you're all going to die today—?!"

Just as Doflamingo was about to deliver the fatal blow to the fallen Smoker, an incredibly swift figure streaked towards him like Inazuma, leaving a long, sound-barrier-breaking afterimage! Wherever it went, the air seemed to crackle. Simultaneously, a leg enveloped in Armament Haki swept towards him without hesitation.

"Momo - 50 times 100,000 kg kick!"

Faced with the overwhelming attack, Doflamingo ignored the half-dead Smoker and waved his hand, sending out hundreds of transparent threads forming a giant spider web to try and block the attacker's attack.

"Spider Web Wall!"

The next instant, the kick covered in Armament Haki collided violently with the spider web, which was also covered in Armament Haki.

The clash of their domineering Haki compressed the air into a semi-transparent energy field the size of a round table. It only flashed for a moment before, under the intense pressure of the two opposing forces, it spread out endlessly in a radial pattern along the plane perpendicular to their attacks!

Wherever it went, the air crackled and popped. Dazzling sparks of Electric Light could even be seen flying from the energy fluctuations! This was an anomaly produced when extremely powerful forces rubbed against and burned the air! The unparalleled power surged forth in an instant, sweeping away everything in its path and pulverizing all matter it touched.

Click, click!

In an instant, this shockwave, confined to a flat surface, resembled an endless, white wall of air, centered on the spiderweb-like structure where the two were locked in combat, cleaving the world into two distinct parts! The ground, buildings, and even the sky were all split in two by the wall of air!

The stalemate lasted only a moment. Under the pressure of the power and Haki accumulated by Roman's charge, the white air wall rapidly moved towards Doflamingo's location, rushing forward!

... It looked as if Doflamingo himself, along with the half of the world he inhabited, would be completely shattered by the shockwave.

Bang!

"... Who do you want to kill?"

As Doflamingo was kicked away and engulfed in the billowing dust, Roman's calm voice finally rang out. —These weren't his words at that moment, but rather spoken while he was running.

However, he was too fast, leaving even his 'sound' behind.

"He actually defeated that Shichibukai with a single kick..."

"It's the White candidate Admiral! We're saved!"

"Damn Doflamingo, how dare you attack Vice Admiral Smoker! The Navy won't let you get away with this..."

Amid the cheers of the G-5 sailors, Roman frowned.

'Heavenly Yaksha' Doflamingo is a bit tricky.

"Fufufufu, candidate Admiral?"

As the smoke cleared, Doflamingo was revealed, leaning forward in a 'difficult' hand gesture with his index and little fingers bent. Before him, the enormous spiderweb, though dented into a funnel shape, ultimately blocked Roman's charged attack.

"That's all there is to it. The navy is becoming more and more useless."

Doflamingo, with a series of cold laughs, spoke sarcastically.

"Not only can they not even catch a single pirate, but they actually let a little kid be their candidate for captain?!"

"Go on, Doflamingo."

Roman had no interest in engaging in verbal sparring; he immediately pulled out a Den Den Mushi. And on the other end of the Den Den Mushi...

"Roman, what's the situation over there?"

A deep, hoarse voice, filled with barely concealed anger and domineering tone, rang out.

"The Shichibukai Doflamingo attacked our G-5 branch of the Navy and seriously injured Vice Admiral Smoker."

Roman glanced at the silent Doflamingo ahead and added a comment.

"Can I execute this guy on the spot?"

Click!

A bulge of veins appeared on the top of his head again, however:

"Hey, you're not planning to attack me too, are you?"

"One of the Shichibukai, the thief of Dressrosa, the underground broker 'The Clown,' a 'former' Celestial Dragons..."

Roman casually glanced at Doflamingo, who seemed ready to strike at any moment. Although his expression was relaxed, all his abilities were mobilized, ready to be unleashed!

Losing a boat due to carelessness is not in Roman's style.

Come on, let me see what kind of level you, Shichibukai, are at!
