Leiyin VS Diamante

"Sword-Longsword!"

Diamante's attack wasn't over yet. At the spot where Leiyin had just landed, his sword suddenly extended, the blade whistling through the air...

The Paramecia Float-Float Fruit ability? It really broadens one's horizons. Leiyin thought, using a Flying Thunder God Slash to evade his attack again.

"Kid, you've got some skills, managing to dodge my sword twice." Diamante restored the sword to its original shape and couldn't help but say, "But, can you withstand my next move?"

Hmm?

Diamante took out several party poppers from his pocket and shot them upwards, releasing countless pieces of paper into the sky. The light paper pieces transformed into sharp, thorny iron balls high above...

"Death Star Dust!"

Subsequently, these iron balls fell from the sky like a torrential storm.

The people on the other side, including Diamante, all raised iron umbrellas to block the iron rain.

Indeed, if one were directly hit by these iron balls without an iron umbrella, countless wounds would appear on the body, and in severe cases, one could die from excessive blood loss.

But what about Leiyin?

When Diamante tossed the paper pieces into the air, Leiyin had already completed the hand seals. And as the dense iron balls fell, a behemoth appeared above Leiyin's head, blocking them.

Earth Style - Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!

The summoned giant earth dragon completely blocked the iron balls, causing no harm to Leiyin.

"W-What's that?!"

The earth dragon rising from the ground startled Diamante and the others around him.

"Is this a Devil Fruit user?"

As people looked on in astonishment, Leiyin gently waved his finger, and the earth dragon opened its huge mouth, spitting out mud bullets. Amidst screams and wails, people were either knocked down, injured, had their bones broken, or were directly killed.

The only one unaffected was Diamante.

"Bullfight Cape!"

He used the power of his Float-Float Fruit to make steel into a cape. Although it was light, it had the hardness of steel. So he wrapped the cape around his entire body, blocking the mud bullets fired by Leiyin's Earth Dragon.

Leiyin saw all the people around Diamante fall, and a smile crept onto his lips: "The annoying guys have finally quieted down."

"D-Damn it..." Diamante glared at Leiyin and said through gritted teeth.

He was starting to feel uneasy: Is this kid a "Summoning Fruit" user?

No one answered him.

At this point, only Leiyin and Diamante remained on the field.

It was either him or me!

Diamante began to take Leiyin seriously after witnessing the power he displayed: "Kid, I admit you've got some skills, but you must die for offending the Donquixote Family!"

Leiyin just smiled upon hearing this: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to defeat me."

"Don't get cocky, kid! Prepare to die!"

With that, Diamante restored the rapier in his hand to its original form and swung it violently.

"Half-Moon. Funeral!"

With a single slash, a powerful wave of sword energy surged across the ground, easily splitting the earth in two like cutting tofu, heading straight for Leiyin.

This was the only skill Diamante had used so far in the battle with Leiyin that did not involve the Float-Float Fruit. This also showed that Diamante was not only a Devil Fruit user but also a veritable swordsman.

However...

Upon seeing this, Leiyin also swung the Kusanagi Sword, unleashing a powerful slash to meet the incoming Half-Moon Funeral.

"Kusanagi Sword - Tanuki Sword Wave!"

The two slashes collided violently, creating a huge roar on the ground. The intense shockwave shattered the hall, exposing it to the open air.

It turned out that this Kusanagi Sword - Tanuki Sword Wave was taught by the Tanuki Sword Sage of Sacred Buddha Ridge. Its power could also split the earth in two.

In a sense, Leiyin was not only an excellent ninja but also a true swordsman.

The two sword energies were evenly matched.

However, after this series of high-intensity battles, Diamante was already panting. He had used almost all of his Float-Float Fruit abilities and powerful swordsmanship. At this point, he had exhausted his skills.

Leiyin, on the other hand, stood there as if nothing had happened after such a battle, looking at him calmly.

Give him the final blow.

Leiyin thought, covering his hands and feet with Chakra and solidifying it, charging straight forward.

"Lion Dance!"

Before Diamante could react, Leiyin had already kneed him into the air, then punched him to the ground. Diamante lost consciousness upon receiving this blow.

Then, Leiyin carried him over his shoulder and walked towards the warship.

"Mr. Leiyin, where did you go?"

"Yeah, you said two hours, but we've been waiting here for four hours."

"Also, who is this person you're carrying on your shoulder?"

Hearing this, Leiyin threw the unconscious Diamante directly onto the deck, "Go get the Seastone and cuff this guy."

"Oh."

"T-This guy is a top executive of the Donquixote Family... Diamante?!"

T Bone was the first to recognize him, his face full of disbelief, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The soldiers were also shocked upon hearing this.

Who was Donquixote Doflamingo?

At that time, he had not yet joined the Shichibukai.

Doflamingo, with a bounty of 340 million Belly, a Paramecia String-String Fruit user, and rumored to possess all three types of Haki, had influence in almost all four seas and the Grand Line. He was an extremely troublesome guy for the government.

Such an awesome figure's top executives were definitely not pushovers either.

And yet, he was captured alive by this kid?!

Originally, these soldiers were already impressed by Leiyin, but now they admired him even more.

However...

Next, Leiyin's actions made the soldiers, especially T Bone, even more astonished.

Leiyin called T Bone to the Captain's cabin alone.

Leiyin said to him with a serious face, "Mr. T Bone, say that you were the one who captured Diamante."

T Bone was puzzled, "Mr. Leiyin, how can I do that? If I report your capture of him to Navy Headquarters, you could at least be promoted to Lieutenant, or even directly appointed as a Major!"

"No need to say more. I don't like being too high-profile if I go that route. 'People fear fame like pigs fear fattening.' I just want to quietly improve my strength. Just take the credit as a favor to me," Leiyin said calmly.
