"Captain! It's no use, our cannonballs can't hit them at all!"

"And their firepower is much stronger than ours!"

"Damn it, once I control the underground black market, I'll arm my Pirate Ships to the teeth and then assemble a whole fleet!"

"What do we do now?"

"Charge! Engage in close-quarters combat!"

"Yes, that's right! We have more men. The Donquixote Family are all trapped on the mountain, with very few left behind. If we just charge in, we're guaranteed to win!"

The captains deliberately didn't mention the potential changes on the mountain, loudly boosting morale.

There was no other choice; they had no way to retreat now.

They could only push forward!

At the same time, they held onto a sliver of hope, believing that even if something unexpected happened, their combined strength as three Pirate Groups would be enough to escape unscathed.

Thus, the three Pirate Ships immediately began to accelerate, charging headlong into the cannon fire.

"Beh-heh-heh, I say, I say, do these guys think we're easy to bully? They actually want to come here and die."

Trebol laughed sinisterly, a long snot bubble hanging from his nose.

Diamante, next to him, stretched his wrists. "This is even better, we can finish this quickly."

"Indeed. Let them come closer, then we'll finish them off. If I recall correctly, Doflamingo should be bringing people back soon."

Under Trebol's command, the Flamingo's firepower was significantly reduced, creating the illusion of insufficient ammunition.

The three Pirate Groups surrounding them didn't suspect a thing and were overjoyed, maxing out their speed and closing in almost instantly.

"Men, charge with me, and kill all these bastards from the Donquixote Family!"

"Long-Neck Pirates, charge, charge, charge!"

"Don't let anyone else get ahead, Hedgehog Pirates are invincible!"

"Beh-heh-heh, I say, I say, have any of you ever been hit on the head by a ship?"

"Sticky Chain!"

Trebol suddenly shot out the thick, viscous, brownish-yellow slime secreted from his body from a distance, forming round, bead-like Sticky Chains that adhered to the Long-Neck Pirates' Pirate Ship.

Then, to the terrified gazes of countless people, he used the inertia generated by swinging the chains to smash the entangled Pirate Ship towards the Hedgehog Pirates' ship like a meteor!

Sticky Meteor!

With a loud boom!

Two Pirate Ships of similar size collided violently and then immediately disintegrated, becoming scattered wreckage on the sea.

Countless Pirates fell into the sea, only to be swallowed by the whirlpools of the sinking ships!

"Doflamingo will be back soon. It seems I need to show some real skill too."

Diamante showed a serious expression for the first time, then raised the long sword in his hand.

Half Moon

Funeral!

Diamante swung his sword with immense force, instantly stirring up a powerful wave of sword energy that sliced the remaining Pirate Ship in half as easily as cutting tofu!

This strike was pure swordsmanship, with no assistance from Devil Fruit abilities!

Compared to Abel's Flying Slash, which relied solely on skill effects, Diamante was a genuine swordsman.

However, he would likely never reach the threshold of becoming a Great Swordsman, as he wasn't pure enough.

But even so, in this situation, it was a dimensional-level attack!

The three Pirate Groups were annihilated almost instantly!

Only those Pirates who had rushed onto the Flamingo in the first wave managed to survive.

Among them were the three captains.

But their expressions were all exceptionally grim.

They realized they had still underestimated the Donquixote Family.

With just two cadres, they had almost wiped them out?!

"If I say this was all a misunderstanding, will you let us leave?"

"What do you think?"

Diamante's face was filled with mockery.

The man gave a wry smile. "Then there's no turning back. Let's fight to the death, two captains!"

The other two exchanged glances, knowing that today's events couldn't end well. They immediately erupted with a desperate, all-or-nothing spirit.

Regardless of anything else, they were the captains of their respective Pirate Groups.

Even knowing they were outmatched, they had the courage to fight!

But sometimes, courage alone couldn't change the outcome.

A few minutes later, when Doflamingo returned with his men, the three captains had all fallen in pools of blood. All the pirates who had attacked were either dead or had jumped into the sea.

If they hadn't needed these 'survivors' to spread the word of this battle and promote the might of the Donquixote Family, they would have been killed even if they had jumped into the ocean!

"Fufufufufu, is this your reliance?"

As Doflamingo laughed wildly and arrogantly, Mephitis's face was filled with despair.

"It seems the performance of this farce has concluded. Truly disappointing."

Mephitis's eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a whimper, trying to beg for mercy, but the next moment, his neck was severed by a sharp thread, and he died with his eyes wide open.

"Doflamingo, these guys must have planned this in advance. They pre-placed the stolen goods and supplies on the nearby island, then set a trap here, intending to annihilate us. Heh, a bunch of fools!"

Before Diamante took care of them, he also managed to extract the whereabouts of the previously robbed smuggling ship.

Doflamingo also laughed upon hearing this, "These fools deliberately led us into the manor on the mountain and pre-placed a large amount of explosives inside, wanting to blow us all to kingdom come. Fortunately, Seka discovered it in advance and followed the secret passage inside, finally capturing the guy who wanted to detonate the explosives remotely."

Although he said 'fortunately,' Doflamingo's radiating confidence told everyone that in the face of overwhelming strength, any scheme or trick was just a suicidal act!

At this moment, Doflamingo, before encountering Kaido, could indeed be considered high-spirited.

"Have someone go and retrieve all the explosives from the mountain. We'll go check out the small island next door."

Explosives were hard currency in the underground black market; they could be sold for a good price easily. Of course, they couldn't be wasted.

Then, Doflamingo and his entourage boarded a ship and headed to the nearby small island.

Abel's heart stirred, feeling that his [Wish Order] this time might receive a good review.

Right after the battle at the manor ended, he felt the timing was right and he could act freely. He used his free search attempt.

Then he received an order like this.

[Order Description: The freelance agent Ah Yin urgently needs a large sum of money to repay her debts.]

[Order Content: A large amount of money or gold, silver, and jewels.]

[Order Base Reward: Wooden Sword Toya Lake, 100 Trading Points.]

[Order Remaining Time: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.]

At the time, since he had plenty of time, he wasn't in a hurry.

But now, he had clearly set his sights on the spoils left behind by these pirate groups.
