King's Victory

The walls of the palace slowly bulged inward, and then a colossal object squeezed into the room, its massive form crashing through the roof and continuing to surge forward.

The instant the wall shattered, Doflamingo stretched out his hands and shot out countless lines to both sides.

"Spider Web Wall".

Hundreds of silk threads formed a giant Spider Web, which hovered in the air.

boom.

Xia Qiu crashed directly into the Spider Web Wall, the immense force causing the Spider Web to slowly dent.

Pat, pat.

The spider silk strands bent and broke.

"What immense power."

Doflamingo snorted coldly, and the moment the Spider Web Wall shattered, he pressed his right hand forward.

Bang.

Doflamingo placed his hand on Xia Qiu's palate, and a Spider Web appeared centered on his hand.

"The Spider's Nest".

This move is also Spider Web, but it is smaller in area and the distance between the lines is much smaller than Spider Web Wall, making its defensive power even more astonishing.

But it still couldn't stop Xia Qiu.

The immense force slowly seeped through the Spider Web, penetrating into the Spider Web at its center.

Swoosh.

Doflamingo flicked his left hand and retreated rapidly, revealing a figure standing there with Spider Web on its head.

Splash splash splash splash.

The wall then completely shattered, covering Xia Qiu.

boom.

Xia Qiu suddenly shook his body, sending all the stones flying. Beneath him, Luo was protected by his arms and legs.

"I'm sorry, you all did so much for me, but I still lost," Luo said softly.

Are there any other people?

Doflamingo immediately became alert and tried to find the others.

"Don't make yourself sound so important."

Xia Qiu said coldly, "It's just one failure. If you can't do it, I'll take care of it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Luo said earnestly.

"This Giant Beast?"

Doflamingo looked at Xia Qiu, only slightly surprised by his words, but the underlying meaning was different.

This is a Giant Beast with intelligence and the ability to speak.

On the surface, his strength is even greater than that of the so-called president.

He is intelligent, so he may not necessarily be a subordinate, as evidenced by the tone of his conversation with Luo.

Therefore, killing Crocodile and the others was very likely the outcome he chose.

"Take Luo away for treatment on Mr. Christmas."

Xia Qiu spoke, and the next moment, the space around Luo opened up, and Mr. Christmas disappeared into the house carrying Luo.

"Hey, do you want me to stay and help out?"

Sabo poked his head out and looked at Xia Qiu, asking a question.

"No need, just take them away," Xia Qiu said softly.

The upcoming war may be very dangerous; at least Royal Highlands will not be spared. Most people will not be of much use if they stay, so it is better to leave.

As for Sabo, he can be responsible for protecting them.

"All right."

Sabo shrank back, the space closed, and then they disappeared.

"Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army".

Doflamingo laughed and said, "I didn't expect even the Revolutionary Army to join the fight against me."

"Then you should ask yourself why so many people dislike you."

Xia Qiu said with a cold laugh.

Doflamingo said, "So you're the president of Baroque Works?"

"That's right." Xia Qiu nodded.

"So we were wrong from the start."

Doflamingo said, "What you've done is truly unbelievable to me. You're really amazing."

"Is that so?" Xia Qiu said with a cold smile.

"I have a suggestion."

Doflamingo looked at Xia Qiu and said, "How about we team up?"

"A coalition?" Xia Qiu looked at Doflamingo.

Doflamingo laughed and said, "That's right, you're strong, and you have subordinates like Ace Saboro. Only if we join forces can we bring down even a Yonko. How about we cooperate?"

"Your proposal is really appealing."

Xia Qiu shook his head. If the Donquixote Family could really stand up to the Four Emperors with their strength, Xia Qiu smiled and said, "But your suggestion has a fatal flaw."

"What are the drawbacks?" Doflamingo asked.

Xia Qiu said, "I can no longer tolerate turning food into a partnership."

He now has many partners, including Sabo, Ace, and Law, who have formed alliances with him.

However, each of them possesses extremely strong physical abilities. Not to mention them, Heckle, Cecilia, Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and others all have formidable physical strength.

What would happen if we ate these people? We could probably take down Kaido right away.

But as time went on, they all became his partners, and Xia Qiu accepted them.

Therefore, in order to become stronger, one has no choice but to challenge other opponents.

Because of certain feelings that shouldn't exist, Xia Qiu chose the most difficult path.

Faced with a formidable character like Doflamingo, who possesses both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, how could Xia Qiu possibly give up?

"Then this is where we have to go."

Doflamingo said softly, "Your lives will end here."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and countless threads shot upwards, gradually forming a huge Birdcage in the air.

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave here."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "I admit you are strong, but Kizaru has arrived, and Law has lost his ability to fight. You can only die here."

In his eyes, Kizaru and himself together were enough to deal with Xia Qiu, Sabo, and Ace.

"Yeah?"

Xia Qiu laughed and said, "It seems you think that Kizaru and you can deal with me and Ace Sabo. Kizaru is fighting Ace, so you think you can definitely beat me?"

"Certainly."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "I'm quite good at dealing with beasts."

"Court death."

Xia Qiu vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Doflamingo, crashing into him.

"That beast is indeed a beast; he fell for the trap so easily."

Doflamingo sneered, and suddenly raised his hands. The next moment, the surrounding stone buildings turned into threads, which condensed into white waves that shot into the sky.

Faced with Xia Qiu, he Devil Fruit Awakening.

Shield White Line.

Countless threads appeared before Doflamingo, transforming into a white shield.

Bang.

Xia Qiu crashed into the Shield White Line, and those lines immediately began to dent.

Wild Wave White Line.

The next moment, countless lines converged and wrapped around Xia Qiu's limbs.

"You are very large and very strong."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "But my abilities can easily counter you. Soft yet extremely tensile lines can resist your power to the greatest extent, and numerous threads can continuously transfer and dissipate your power. Moreover, as long as I control your limbs, I can prevent you from accumulating power. It's useless; defeating you is easier than defeating Law."

Ability restraint.

Doflamingo's String-String Devil Fruit ability is a great counter to Xia Qiu.

The ability of the thread to wrap and bind, as well as its toughness, can limit the Xia Qiu.

If one wire doesn't work, then use a hundred wires; if a hundred wires don't work, then use ten thousand wires.

Doflamingo has already achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, which allows him to turn surrounding food into threads.

In a sense, Doflamingo is very good at dealing with large creatures.

Xia Qiu charged straight in, only to fall into a trap.

But the next moment, Xia Qiu extended eight tentacles, six of which were wrapped in Armament Haki, and crashed into the white lines that were wrapped around his six legs.

The remaining two tentacles, one on the left and one on the right, bypassed the Shield White Line and attacked Doflamingo.

"Um?"

Faced with these two attacks, Doflamingo waved his hands, creating two more white waves that wrapped around the two tendrils.

But at this moment, Xia Qiu stepped on the ground again, leaped up, and continued to crash into him.

This time, Shirou was unable to stop the impact and was directly knocked away by Xia Qiu, who then attacked Doflamingo.

"They actually went into the line on their own initiative."

Doflamingo smiled and waved his hands, causing the white lines that had been knocked apart to begin wrapping around Xia Qiu's body.

Some coiled around Xia Qiu's sharp corners, some around Xia Qiu's mouth, and some around his fins.

His size was so enormous that once all parts of his body were entangled, he was powerless to break free.

But as soon as I reached out, it sliced through me, as if there was a membrane between us.

"Armament Haki?"

Doflamingo looked surprised. This membrane was indeed an invisible armor formed by Armament Haki. How could a Giant Beast possess Armament Haki?

But the next moment, Xia Qiu had already squeezed around him and was biting him.

Doflamingo leaped high into the air, his hands unleashing two Spider Web as he pressed them towards Xia Qiu's head.

Spider's Nest.

The double-layered Spider Web blocked his way, but it only held for a moment before breaking apart.

Next, Doflamingo's hands pressed down on Xia Qiu's chin, his hands covered in Armament Haki, firmly holding Xia Qiu's chin in place.

But it was no use; a tremendous force came through, making his arm crack.

"This power is too great."

Doflamingo gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes, and unleashed a powerful aura that instantly enveloped Xia Qiu's head.

Conqueror's Haki.

Faced with this gas, Xia Qiu snorted coldly and unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki.

Bang.

The two Haki collided, creating ripples in the air.

How could that be?

Doflamingo couldn't understand why a Giant Beast could Conqueror's Haki.

"Very good."

Doflamingo did not continue to block him, but instead stomped his feet on the ground.

Sea Source White Wave.

The ground beneath their feet transformed into silk threads, which then turned into white waves that surged and billowed.

Xia Qiu's six legs shifted instantly, his body swaying, while the white line beneath Doflamingo's feet suddenly bounced diagonally backward.

Swoosh.

Doflamingo was sent flying backward, and then he flung his hands backward, causing thousands of threads to extend backward and converge into a column of threads.

The thread pillars spread backward, twisting and growing larger and larger. Then Doflamingo swung his hands forward, and the thread pillars hurtled towards Xia Qiu's head.

"Super Strike Constricting Whip".

Two beams of wire crashed down, the most powerful attack Doflamingo could unleash, capable of sinking a giant naval warship.

Swoosh.

But the next moment, Xia Qiu leaped high into the air and dodged the attack.

He then located Doflamingo again and launched an attack.

However, due to the defense of these white lines and the ground turning into white waves, coupled with Doflamingo's constant escape, Xia Qiu had a hard time hurting him, and even getting close was difficult.

Every time I appear, countless threads spread across the ground and the surrounding area.

Unable to stand firm, unable to break through, and constantly being blocked, they couldn't even touch Doflamingo.

Xia Qiu initially dominated, but gradually shifted to a situation where he was on the offensive while his opponent was on the defensive. As time went on, Doflamingo gradually gained the upper hand again.

"All you can do is run?"

Xia Qiu dodged Doflamingo's Wild Wave White Line and charged at him again, but was blocked by the Shield White Line. Then, countless more white lines rose up.

Xia Qiu used Armament Haki to break free, but Doflamingo had already escaped.

Under such circumstances, Armament Haki will eventually be exhausted, and physical strength will also run out.

"I am a human being, not a beast."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "I won't be foolish enough to fight you. As long as I keep my distance, you'll never be able to touch me again."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu suddenly stomped his six legs on the ground and leaped upwards.

Tap tap tap tap.

Xia Qiu stepped on the air and flew towards the sky.

"This is Geppo? Then what I just did was shave?"

Doflamingo still found it hard to believe what he was seeing – Giant Beast that could use Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and the Six Powers.

You're really amazing.

Xia Qiu flew higher and higher, and after reaching the air, she hung upside down, pushed off with her six legs, and plummeted straight down from the sky.

"Super Gravity Armament Haki Headbutt".

The force of Geppo, the gravity of his own hundreds of tons, Armament Haki, all the power of his body concentrated on his head, and then he crashed down.

"Court death."

Faced with this attack, Doflamingo snorted coldly, waved his hands, and Giant Wave White Line shot into the sky.

"Sixteen sacred bullets, God Thread."

Sixteen white waves transformed into sharp spikes, covered in Armament Haki, and attacked Xia Qiu, instantly striking his body.

boom.

A tremendous sound resounded in the sky, and ripples spread outwards, reaching far and wide.

Wow.

The sky was filled with broken lines, as if a rain of lines had fallen from the sky.

Is he dead?

Doflamingo looked up at the sky, but saw a dark shadow growing larger.

"Not dead?"

Doflamingo's arms moved in a blur, hooking onto the ground in the distance as he rapidly retreated.

boom.

Xia Qiu slammed his head into the ground, causing the entire Royal Highlands to instantly cave in and sink downwards, with the force then being transmitted layer by layer.

Click, click.

The ground cracked layer by layer, spreading outwards from Xia Qiu's location.

The impact spread downwards from the point of impact in Xia Qiu.

boom.

The entire Royal Highlands collapsed instantly, plummeting downwards.

"What immense power!"

Doflamingo leaped repeatedly from the boulder, soaring upwards. He stood at a distance, watching the scene before him with lingering fear.

The power to destroy a Royal Highlands was simply too great.

I seemed to be able to resist, but at the last moment, I sensed danger and gave up.

"It's too powerful."

Doflamingo landed slowly, stood on the ruins, and looked at Xia Qiu in the distance, which was already buried by stones.

"That's so stupid."

Doflamingo said, "You took my attack and crashed into the ground. You're not going to be badly injured."

But as Doflamingo spoke, rubble shot out, and a huge figure emerged from the ruins, roaring to the sky.

The sharp horn on his head was shattered, many of the scales on his head had fallen off, his dorsal fin was broken, and blood was flowing out; he had already suffered a serious injury.

But his current appearance is even more terrifying.

"Again."

Xia Qiu looked at Doflamingo, then leaped forward and charged at him again.

"He has a strong vitality."

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and once again turned the surrounding objects into white waves to block his way.

At the same time, countless white lines extended from the ground, transforming into giant tentacles that coiled towards Xia Qiu.

"Giant Wave White Line".

It's an even more powerful move than the Wild Wave White Line, with stronger binding and attack power.

However, the white line did not touch Xia Qiu, but remained suspended in the air.

boom.

Xia Qiu crashed into the Shield White Line, but it seemed to have no defensive power at all, passing straight through and heading straight for Doflamingo.

"It's over."

Doflamingo coughed up a mouthful of blood, still anticipating the outcome.

Behind him, Sabo stood with his right hand on Doflamingo's vest, countless Black Smoke binding Doflamingo's body, while Black Smoke also spread on the ground.

In all the areas covered by Black Smoke, the white lines went out of control, and Doflamingo was engulfed by the immense attraction, unable to move at all.

boom.

Xia Qiu ran into Doflamingo, who covered his entire body with Armament Haki in an attempt to defend himself.

But it was to no avail.

The immense force compressed his Haki, causing cracks to appear on his body surface, which eventually penetrated into his internal organs.

Click.

With countless bones broken, Doflamingo coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Swoosh.

Sabo immediately leaped backward, landing some distance away, and clapped his hands.

"You, you..."

Doflamingo fell to the ground, his expression filled with resentment. He was unwilling to be defeated, and even more unwilling to be defeated in this way.

"All warfare is based on deception."

Xia Qiu slowly walked up to him and said with a smile, "I never expected you would believe what the enemy said. You mistook me for a beast, and that's your biggest mistake."

Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability completely suppressed him; the threads could control his body and distribute the force, rendering his own strength useless.

Although one's own strength is immense, it is the result of concentration. If it were distributed throughout the body, the strength would be much less.

My body size is too large. Although my movement speed is high, it is less than twice my body length, so my dodging efficiency is too poor.

The only way to resist the binding of the threads is to use Armament Haki to form an invisible armor, turning oneself into a single entity so that the opponent cannot entangle one.

However, Xia Qiu's Armament Haki is not yet able to cover his entire body, and even if he could, it would be consumed too quickly.

Therefore, Xia Qiu knew that he was no match for Xia Qiu.

Therefore, it had been agreed long ago that Sabo would assist him, and letting him leave just now was merely a formality.

Sabo's abilities are also a counter to Doflamingo's.

It's roughly a matter of him controlling Sabo, Sabo controlling Doflamingo, Doflamingo controlling him.

"Bye now."

Xia Qiu said with a smile, walked up to Doflamingo, and took a bite.

Click.

Doflamingo was pierced by Xia Qiu's teeth and died on the spot not long after.

Have they already left?

Xia Qiu looked at Sabo. The reason he didn't immediately join forces with Sabo to attack Doflamingo was because he was concerned about his subordinates. He also wanted to lower Sabo's guard and give him the impression that he was impulsive.

"We are fine."

The Space Door opened, and Mr. Christmas peeked out. Inside were several figures. Cecilia and Law were the most seriously injured and were being carried, followed by Alken. Robin and Koala had some wounds on their bodies.

"Come out."

Xia Qiu said, "We'll meet up with Ace and then leave this place."

Xia Qiu swallowed Doflamingo whole, then extended his tentacles to entangle Robin, Koala, Elken, Cecilia, and Law, before speeding away into the distance.

"Let's go too."

Sabovivi and the others followed closely behind, disappearing into the distance.

Although the Donquixote Family has been defeated, the real battle has only just begun.
