A One-Sided Battle! Doflamingo's Terror

Ian observed Doflamingo with great interest.

This guy is trying to fool himself.

Some inside information about the Celestial Dragons is indeed quite important, but the truly crucial National Treasure of the Celestial Dragons, the effects of the Immortal Surgery, the secrets of the Gorosei, and the existence of Im— none of these were mentioned.

At least this guy knows a little about the first two, right?

Ian had considered that Doflamingo might try to fool him, but he never imagined that he would do it this badly.

Am I being too lenient? Or are you just going through a rebellious phase?

"..."

Upon hearing Ian's words, Doflamingo's face stiffened slightly, then he laughed, "What are you talking about? I've already told you everything I know about the Celestial Dragons."

"I was only eight years old when I left Mary Geoise, so it's impossible that I knew too many secrets."

So stubborn!

"You should tell me at least two more things,"

Ian sighed. "First, what exactly is the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure? Second, what is the purpose of the Immortal Surgery?"

"..."

Doflamingo jumped to his feet, and even with his excellent composure, his face couldn't help but turn pale with horror at that moment.

He knows!

How did he know!

How could he possibly know!

"Fufu, Fufu..."

Doflamingo's facial muscles twitched as he forced a dry laugh. "The Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure? What's that? I've never heard of it before. And the Immortal Surgery..."

"Alright, Doflamingo,"

Ian waved his hand. "If it's just a lie, then this is enough."

"Hey! Is this guy lying?"

Yamato, leaning on Ian's shoulder, looked up in surprise, Yamato the red horn on its forehead poked Ian without any politeness.

The girl immediately became indignant, "This guy, how dare he lie to Ian!"

Want to get beaten up?

For once, Ian found Yamato's suggestion quite constructive. "Indeed, since language has failed, perhaps only violence remains."

Doflamingo paused for a moment.

The next moment.

Boom!

The roof of the luxurious carriage exploded open, and a figure shot into the sky.

"Doflamingo?"

The side windows of the carriages in front and behind immediately opened, and the Donquixote Family's officers leaned out.

Jack and the others also poked their heads out.

Doflamingo descended from the sky, standing in mid-air as if on an invisible platform.

"It's a line!"

On the dilapidated carriage, Yamato gazed at Doflamingo in the sky. The little girl, with her sharp eyes, exclaimed, "He's stepping on the lines!"

"Doflamingo!!"

Trebol squeezed out of the cramped car window, his face covered in cold sweat. "Want to fight?"

"Brother Ian! Shall we fight?"

Jack kicked the carriage apart with one kick, yelling at Ian as he drew two strange blades.

"Calm down, everyone,"

Ian said calmly, "It's just that Doflamingo wants to spar with me. Everyone, stay put."

Doflamingo didn't speak, he just stared intently at Ian.

This is bad.

How does this guy know those things?

Should I say something?

The current situation is that if we don't tell him, Ian will definitely not let this go!

He had no time to think. Ian was launched into the air like a cannonball, enveloped in brilliant golden flames. When Ian emerged from the flames, he had transformed into Golden Armored Winged Man.

"Ian!"

Below, Yamato and down.

That damned Ian! He beat her to it again! She was the one who wanted to make the move!

The moment Ian flapped his wings, he was already in front of Doflamingo in the next second.

Wow, so fast!

Doflamingo had no time to think; instinct completely took over his body at that moment, "Thread Razor!"

With a flick of his right foot, several threads extending from his heel, like the sharpest blades, slashed directly at Ian.

However, Ian didn't even try to dodge. He raised his hand and grabbed Doflamingo's right leg, while at the same time, the threads cut across Ian's chest.

However, the threads, imbued with Haki and capable of easily tearing through steel, lashed at Ian without leaving a single mark, shattering instantly.

What kind of defensive capability is this?

Doflamingo simply couldn't understand it.

Ian had already swung his hand downwards, causing Doflamingo to plummet like a meteorite, crashing through a house and landing in the middle of the street behind it, raising clouds of dust.

"Mr. Ian! Doflamingo!!"

Umit held his head in his hands.

Why did they suddenly start fighting?!

"Doflamingo!!"

The tall, giant-like Pica let out a sharp, childlike voice, instinctively wanting to rush over to help.

However, he couldn't lift his feet at all.

He looked down in astonishment; the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, and all their feet were frozen in the icy cold.

"Ian told you not to move!"

Yamato slammed his spiked club into the ground, freezing the surrounding area completely. "Then don't move."

This guy!

Pica was stunned.

Ian descended from the sky, crashing directly into the smoke created by Doflamingo.

The smoke was suddenly torn apart, and a scarlet whip came hurtling towards them, "Overheat Whip!"

If the other party has already made a move, wouldn't it be incredibly foolish to just obediently take the beating?

Doflamingo no longer hesitated.

Ian casually grabbed the long, silken whip that was coming at him.

Too slow.

Even before Awakening Observation Haki, dealing with such an attack would be effortless.

With a casual tug, Doflamingo below felt an extremely terrifying force suddenly transmitted from the silk whip. He was completely unable to resist and was instantly pulled into the sky.

Then, a golden light came into view.

"Well!"

Doflamingo let out a muffled groan as a hard hand gripped his neck.

That one blow made him feel like his throat was about to break.

Immediately afterwards, he was lifted up and slammed to the ground.

Boom!

The already created crater was now struck a second time, sending rocks flying and shattering the earth.

Wow!

Doflamingo let out a scream.

What kind of power is this?

My neck is going to break!

Ian flapped his wings and flew up, looking down at Doflamingo lying on the ground.

"Alright,"

Ian said calmly, "The most important thing in life is keeping your promises, right? I've kept my promise, so Doflamingo, you shouldn't have lied to me."

This guy is too weak.

Perhaps they haven't even Awakening yet?

If this is already his full strength, then he's not even as good as Moria, whom he encountered in Wano Country eight years ago.

That's true. How can someone who's always stuck in North Blue be compared to Hero venturing into New World?

This guy's Devil Fruit ability is indeed flashy, but his Haki is too weak.

Even if I stand still and let him hit me, I won't break through his defenses.

However, its attack and defense capabilities are not great, but it is incredibly durable.

I didn't hold back much, yet I didn't even break his bones.

No wonder he's the man who endured being beaten to the point of pushing past the Gear Fourth time limit and exhausting Luffy to the point of collapse.

The only strong character who, instead of having Luffy activate his invincibility skill, actually activated it himself.

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo was still laughing. He sat up, rubbing his throat as he laughed loudly, "What a monster! I seem to have absolutely no chance against him."

Despite the laughter, the fear in my heart was no less.

What kind of monster is this guy?!

Doflamingo finds it hard to understand.

Why is it so strong?

His strength was beyond his ability to resist.

His defenses were impenetrable.

This is a contest between two completely different teams!

If he's already like this, then how invincible must Kaido be?

Now that you know, it's time to make a decision.

"Doflamingo," he said.

"Looks like I can't refuse, alright."

Doflamingo raised his head and looked up at Ian.

"I don't know much about the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure either. It's probably a weapon that has been passed down for eight hundred years."

If you're caught lying and exposed, you're no match for your opponent in a fight; you're simply outmatched. What else is there to say?

The other party has already shown mercy.

"Weapon?"

Ian landed in front of him.

"It's said to be a ship."

Doflamingo said, "A very special ship."

How special is it?

"I don't know about that. What I do know is that this National Treasure seems to be unusable."

"Why?" Ian asked.

"Because there is no energy."

Doflamingo said, "There is no energy source capable of supplying it."

"Oh?"

Ian raised an eyebrow.

So, it was the weapon that destroyed the Lulusia Kingdom?

It will only be able to function again after Vegapunk creates the Holy Mother's Flame.

"However, it's not absolute."

Doflamingo added a sentence.

"What's the meaning?"

Ian immediately became alert.

If that thing could work properly right now, that wouldn't be good news.

"Because I heard that as long as one undergoes the Immortal Surgery, one can control that weapon."

Doflamingo said, "But that's all I know, and it's all just hearsay."

right.

In the original work, this guy also said that if he had the Immortal Surgery, he would be able to steal the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure.

"That Immortal Surgery,"

Ian asked solemnly, "What exactly is the effect of the Op-Op Fruit)? Does it grant immortality, or does it make one immortal?"

"Hehehe! Ian, you know so much! Are you asking about the Gorosei?"

Doflamingo laughed heartily, "Perhaps. I'm not entirely sure myself, but they do possess true immortality, and they have indeed lived for many years. I suspect they are the recipients of the Op-Op Fruit's Immortal Surgery."

Ian thought for a moment, then asked, "So, what do you know about Im?"

"Im?"

Doflamingo paused for a moment, "I think I've heard that name before, Im —you mean one of the twenty kings from eight hundred years ago, King Im of the Neptune Family? That's a figure from eight hundred years ago, is there anything special about this guy?"

Ian carefully observed Doflamingo.

This guy doesn't seem to be faking it.

Don't you know Im exists?

So there wasn't much useful intelligence gathered on this trip.

Doflamingo, a Celestial Dragons, doesn't know much more than I, an outsider. Aren't you ashamed?

The information that the only recipient of the Immortal Surgery can control the Celestial Dragons ' National Treasure remains questionable.

Wasn't this trip a waste of time?

Ian glanced at Doflamingo.

You're trying to scam me, aren't you?

Should we bring him to justice?

Oh, I'm a pirate.

Never mind then.

Later.

The Donquixote Family and others, who were anxiously waiting, witnessed a sight that left them speechless.

Ian and Doflamingo returned, chatting and laughing.

"Fufufufu! Let's have a banquet!"

Doflamingo laughed and said, "It's a welcome dinner for my good friend."
