Doflamingo has completely gone neurotic. Today I discovered that he's starting to harbor murderous intent towards everyone behind their backs.
Clearly, the groundwork laid earlier had already eroded his trust in everyone!
After all... no matter how he tested or fished, the result was always the same. "Everyone is betraying me."
And more and more crew members began to simply fear him.
I wonder which feeling is more miserable: seeing your family and friends completely forget you, while you have to pretend not to know them during the day to act like Clown and work in a sweatshop at night...?
May 18, 1510.
While I'm somewhat addicted to tormenting Doflamingo,... this time Kaido should definitely catch up! And Doflamingo has started to give up on himself, so maybe it's coming to an end?
Moreover, if Kaido, I'm afraid they'll start fighting amongst themselves, which would be a waste.
In the original work, after Doflamingo was cured of his addiction to the King by Kaido, he still had a chance to learn his lesson. However, now that he has self-destructive tendencies, he probably won't have that chance anymore...
Here he comes! Kaido is here with his "King of Addiction" club!
At night, the Numancia Flamingo was completely blocked by the Beasts Pirates, and Kaido, the governor of the Beasts, was also there.
Doflamingo, whose mental state was already off, didn't even focus on dodging. Instead, he went straight at the enemy, just like now, charging head-on onto the Beasts' flagship Shutenmaru.
Doflamingo initially relied on his amazing and fully developed abilities, having already Devil Fruit Awakening. In a fit of emotional hysteria, he actually managed to exchange a few blows with Kaido, and even... successfully forced Kaido into his Human-Beast Form!
In that case, how could Doflamingo possibly be a match for Kaido when he's serious?
The King of Tyranny Pizarro was impressed by Kaido's strength and dominance; the difference between the two was significant. Even Doflamingo couldn't defeat Pizarro.
Thunder, Roar, Eight Trigrams!
"Young Master!"
Seeing Doflamingo take Kaido's powerful attack head-on, the Donquixote Family's officers rushed to his aid, but they couldn't break through the Beasts' "True Upper Rank"—their combatant defenses. Queen and Pizarro were even more formidable—the two of them were enough to wipe out the entire Donquixote Family.
Kaido grabbed Doflamingo by the hair, lifting the blood-covered man up to him. "Kid, so you're the one who wanted to challenge me? How naughty..."
As he spoke, Kaido glanced at the damage to the Shutenmaru —due to the Awakening String-String Devil Fruit ability, the masts and deck had been transformed into strings during the previous battle, resulting in significant damage from Kaido.
"Although it's Paramecia Fruit, I can make an exception and let you join the Beasts Pirates, otherwise..." Kaido, as usual, wanted to recruit his opponents.
"Tell me..." Doflamingo said in a low voice, spitting out blood.
"Huh?" Kaido puzzled expression.
"Who... who betrayed me!" Doflamingo asked with a ferocious expression.
Kaido bewildered. "How would I know who it is? Don't you have many people publicly revealing their upcoming itineraries wherever you go?"
Doflamingo:???
Kaido actually had his doubts about this too...
Shouldn't the Donquixote Family be a major underworld force in Beihai?
Are you all so loose-lipped? Is that all?
"Many people?" Doflamingo recalled that every time he sent out "false information," it would be relayed without exception.
Doflamingo once believed that Vergo was the traitor—because he was the one who spread the false information.
Even later, when Doflamingo trusted no one and personally provided all sorts of false information, no one except himself knew anything about the others... yet it all still leaked out!
Even Doflamingo began to suspect that there might be another person on the Numancia Flamingo, someone he didn't know, constantly observing him...
As a result, Doflamingo even began to suffer from insomnia.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be too strange?
Even if there's more than one traitor on board, at worst one might be Kaido's or a Marine. Surely not everyone on board can be a traitor?
But today Caesar proved it – it's not that complicated, it's just what everyone's been saying!
So all the "family members" were leaking information about the Donquixote Family, and... there was no reason at all, not even because Kaido bribed them, they just wanted to leak it.
Doflamingo's expression immediately Distortion.
"Hmm?" Kaido seemed to sense something.
"Kill... kill... help me kill them all! I want to kill them all!" The long-tortured Doflamingo had completely fallen into a state of hysteria.
Kaido saw through Doflamingo's shattered glasses that his pupils were scattered, like... a tangled mess of threads.
The next moment, Kaido, sensing something, kicked Doflamingo back onto the Numancia Flamingo —even with short legs, he can still kick!
"Young Master!" Trebol stepped forward to help him up.
Although Doflamingo had just shouted some terrifying words while in Kaido's hands, Trebol Rian, "It was just something he said in anger."
However, at that moment, Doflamingo, whose body was piled up on the deck with countless broken bones, suddenly exploded.
Countless "lines" of varying thickness erupted from his body, among which seven or eight thick lines, many intertwined, suddenly extended and pierced through Trebol's body, lifting him up!
"Ah... Youngster, Youngster..." Torrebol screamed. Before he could fully recover, blood flowed along the "line" to Doflamingo, who had a ferocious face.
Trebol's Sticking-Sticking Fruit is Paramecia, not Logia. The reason his slimy body is immune to attacks is because it forms a slimy shell around his small body. However, he was killed instantly by Doflamingo's surprise attack.
At this point, Doflamingo's body was distorted; half of his head had broken into "threads," as had his limbs and torso, making him almost unrecognizable as human. The threads had all intertwined, forming "tentacles."
Most of the officers who were still fighting on other Beasts Pirates ships were stunned and rushed back to try to stop Doflamingo, but Kaido immediately sent his men back.
A bloody spectacle of "Donquixote Family executives vs. a super tentacle monster" is unfolding on the deck of the Numancia Flamingo.
When Vergo saw that Doflamingo was no match for Kaido, he went down to the cabin to tie up Caesar and use him as a threat. However, when he returned, he saw Diamante's flag and shield broken and him being torn apart by a "Monster"!
Meanwhile, Kaido frowned as he stared at the "battlefield" of the Numancia Flamingo, seemingly having discovered something, yet unsure of what it was...
Dongdong: Oh no... I think I really have gout. A couple of days ago I thought it was because of my sleeping position (the day I had insomnia), which is why my foot hurt a little. Today, not only has it not gotten better, but I can't even put weight on it anymore... I'm going to get my uric acid tested in a bit. I shouldn't have too high hopes, sigh...
