The Abilities of the Clone

"Strange, what's going on?"

Looking at the toys around him that were constantly turning back into humans, the Vice Admiral stopped attacking, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Why do the toys here turn into humans?

After a moment's thought, the Vice Admiral lowered his weapon, turned and beckoned his companions to walk away into the distance.

He needs to contact Mr. Issho to see what's going on.

Franky, sitting opposite him, wore an expression of ecstatic joy.

"Usopp, you guys did it!"

That's great, that's really great.

Merry's face was also filled with joy. The operation over there had been a success, which meant that their plan was half completed!

"Damn it, who did this?!" Dellinger roared.

This was the culmination of ten years of hard work by their family, and it was just destroyed like that?

Mahavise, standing nearby, remarked, "It must be Sugar who's causing the problem... Damn it, who on earth could take down Sugar right under Trebol's nose?"

Those are the top combat forces of their Donquixote Family!

"That little girl is really useless," Senor Pink said, frowning. "But... I hope she's not hurt."

"Ah~"

Upon hearing this, the woman standing nearby exclaimed, "Although he speaks coldly, he still cares about the other person. What a tough guy!"

"Don't get too close, little girls."

"Don't be so cold, Senor Pink ~"

Unfortunately, Senor Pink ignored them and turned to his underlings, saying, "Call and find out what's going on."

They need to at least figure out what happened and how to handle the situation.

Since the deed has already been done, they need to consider their options.

"Yes."

The subordinate nodded, then turned and took out Den Den Mushi) to dial the Royal Palace's communication point.

Unfortunately... the call couldn't get through because there was just too much traffic on that end.

"Cannot get through?"

Senor Pink frowned, glanced in the direction of the Royal Palace, and muttered, "Looks like things are busy over there."

Just as Senor Pink had thought, the Royal Palace was indeed extremely busy at this time.

At the same time, Doflamingo received dozens of communications from Den Den Mushi).

"Please answer, Your Royal Palace!"

"Your His Majesty the King, the situation is urgent!"

"Southern Sebio urgently calls the Royal Palace! The toys working at the Port have suddenly turned into pirates!"

"This is Carta in the east. The toys have transformed into the original Dressrosa Royal Army, along with World Government officials, naval soldiers, and dignitaries from various countries!"

"This is the Primula region, and the toys have turned into ferocious beasts!"

"Here it is..."

Listening to one piece of bad news after another, Doflamingo's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

This is the first time in all his years in the industry that he has encountered such a difficult problem.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Buffalo looked anxiously at Doflamingo. If he didn't come up with a solution, the Donquixote Family might be doomed.

Doflamingo didn't answer the question. Instead, he turned and went to the outside window, opened it, and carefully observed the situation in the country.

At that moment, from his perspective, the entire country was radiating a peculiar light.

That light was what was emitted when Sugar's power was deactivated.

"Asshole!!!"

Doflamingo's face was contorted with bulging veins, and his furious body began to tremble.

At that moment, he wished he could tear those who ruined his plans to pieces!

'Oh.'

Luo, who had witnessed everything, sneered inwardly.

Although the specific reason is unknown, the fact that Doflamingo's expression is so unpleasant means that what is happening is the last thing he wants to happen.

So... he was very happy!

Next, let's see if the Straw Hat Crew can destroy the Factory.

King Riku, however, had a different idea, because he had just recalled a deleted memory.

In his memory, he had a son-in-law named Kyros, who was an incredibly powerful swordsman!

"Kyros..."

"Kyros!"

Looking at the man behind her who had returned to human form, Violet shed tears.

She remembered; she remembered everything.

Luffy looked at Kyros with some surprise. How did this guy suddenly become so big?

What's wrong with you?

"Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Xi Yan explained helplessly, "This guy is human."

"It's just that the Devil Fruit's power has been turned into a toy."

Now that Usopp has dealt with the little girl named Sugar, the Devil Fruit's power has naturally been removed.

"So that's how it is."

Luffy had a look of Satori realization on his face, and immediately understood what Xi Yan meant.

Xi Yan was even more helpless upon hearing this; Luffy's thought process could sometimes be quite exasperating.

"Thank you," Kyros said in a deep voice. "Leave the rest to me."

Without waiting for their reply, he quickly opened the window and rushed inside, heading straight for the still angry Doflamingo with incredible speed!

"Hey, who are you?"

Upon seeing Kyros's henchmen, they immediately drew their weapons and looked at Kyros warily.

Unfortunately, Kyros ignored them completely, not even giving them a glance.

From beginning to end, his only target was Doflamingo!

"Is it Kyros?!" King Riku exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo immediately remembered who this guy was.

This is the man who would go to any lengths to challenge him!

"I didn't expect you to still be alive."

"Doflamingo!" Kyros, standing before Doflamingo, raised his longsword and roared, "It's time to settle this decade-long grudge!"

"Puff!"

Without further ado, Kyros swung his longsword fiercely, severing Doflamingo's head in one fell swoop.

"Varied...?!"

Buffalo and Baby5, who witnessed this scene, both showed expressions of horror.

Their young master was actually beheaded by the enemy?

Law and the others also showed expressions of disbelief, clearly not expecting that this man with only one leg could actually kill Doflamingo with a single sword strike.

Isn't this a bit too surreal?

That's Doflamingo!

Only Xi Yan frowned. This guy was Shichibukai; would he be killed by the enemy so easily?

He died without even using any Haki.

Isn't this a bit too unrealistic?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan frowned even more deeply.

"Ten years!"

"Ten whole years!" Kyros exclaimed angrily, "Ten years of hellish living, we endured it all!"

"Now, Dressrosa will be reclaimed by us!"

"Next, I will sever this false reality!"

After saying this, Kyros rushed towards the enemies to the side and, with a swift stroke of his sword, killed all the henchmen.

"You dared to kill the young master!" Buffalo roared furiously, "I'll kill you!"

After saying that, Buffalo jumped up quickly, and then the signature item of his Devil Fruit power appeared around his neck, which began to spin wildly.

"Watch me blow you away!"

"The ability to be bored."

Kyros snorted coldly, then lunged forward and stood in front of Buffalo, grabbing him by the neck.

The next moment...

"Click~"

"Ah!"

Buffalo let out a piercing scream as his neck was snapped, and blood gushed from his mouth.

Kyros then threw the man out of the window, where he plummeted towards the ground of the Royal Palace.

"Buffalo!"

Baby 5's pupils contracted upon seeing this; her companion had actually been killed?

Thinking of this, a chilling killing intent appeared in Baby5's eyes.

"You bastard!"

Baby 5, whose hands transformed into short spears, immediately launched an attack on Kyros.

A barrage of bullets flew toward Kyros, but the man deflected them all with his longsword.

"Damn it, then let's try this trick!" Baby5 roared.

As she spoke, her arms swiftly transformed into scythes, and then, like a praying mantis, she charged towards Kyros, raising her hand to strike!

"Clang!"

Kyros raised his hand and blocked Baby 5's attack without even changing his expression.

On the other hand, Baby 5 was already sweating profusely, which meant that she had completely lost to Kyros in terms of strength.

Kyros then snorted coldly, and with a forceful thrust of his hands forward, sent Baby 5 flying.

"Bump!"

Baby 5 let out a muffled groan as it hit the wall, its expression one of extreme pain, clearly indicating that it had been seriously injured.

"Tra-man!"

Luffy, who rushed in with Xi Yan and the other two, shouted, "I've come to save you!"

"Straw Hat?"

Baby 5 stared at Luffy in surprise. How did this guy get here?

Weren't you just down there?

Law stared at Luffy, somewhat dumbfounded, and said, "Hey, you shouldn't be here, Straw Hat Leader."

"How's the Factory doing?"

"Is it destroyed?"

Although the Doflamingo in front of him had been killed, Law's intuition told him that things might be far more complicated than they appeared.

So... it's better to destroy the Factory first.

"Franky and the others are already doing it."

"It's already in progress..."

Luo's face turned grim. Didn't this mean the Factory hadn't been destroyed yet?

"Violet, the Straw Hat, and the Sunglasses Man!"

Gladius, who had caught up from behind, roared angrily, "None of you will ever touch the young master..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the headless figure and the head on the ground.

"Young... Young Master?"

The young master was killed?

How is that possible?

How could the young master possibly be killed?

At this moment, Gladius simply refused to believe his eyes.

"Your King Riku, I have caused you suffering," Kyros said.

As they spoke, Kyros raised his sword and with a single stroke broke the chains binding King Riku, freeing him.

Thank you so much...

"It's alright, it's my job."

"Tra-man."

Luffy up to Law, grinning, and said, "We've come to rescue you."

"While I appreciate your efforts in coming to rescue me, our alliance is over." Luo abruptly turned his head and said, "Get out of here!"

"Um?"

"You're being too presumptuous," Luffy said, displeased. "I'm the one who has to decide these things. You better listen to me!"

"Ha?"

Law stared at Luffy with a face full of question marks. What kind of nonsense was this guy spouting?

"Who the hell made this decision on their own, you bastard!"

Violet looked at the two of them with a hint of helplessness; they were still acting like children.

Then, she noticed Xi Yan crouching next to Doflamingo's corpse.

"What's wrong?"

Something's not right.

Xi Yan pointed to Doflamingo's head and said, "This guy's body wasn't bleeding."

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

No bleeding?

How could a living person not bleed when beheaded?

They knew all too well what that meant.

"So that means..." Kyros stood up, his face grim, glancing around, and said, "That bastard Doflamingo is still alive."

Why?

He clearly beheaded the other person!

"How could he still be alive? He's already..."

King Riku stopped speaking before he could finish, because he heard the man on the ground laughing.

"Fufufufufu~"

"Fufufufufu~"

"Fufufufufu!"

"He's actually... still alive?" King Riku asked, his face grim.

Could it be that the String-String Fruit has this kind of effect?

"Perhaps it's the power of the String-String Fruit that allows him to turn his body into strings, perhaps..." Xi Yan paused here, then continued, "He can use the String-String Fruit's power to create clones."

"Am I right, Doflamingo?"

Normally, the String-String Fruit should only be a Paramecia ability.

But Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse, so he wasn't surprised that his opponent could turn him into threads.

"Fufufufufu~"

"He's quite a clever guy," Doflamingo remarked.

The moment he finished speaking, a huge Stone Spike suddenly appeared beneath the feet of Xi Yan and the others, sending them flying.

That is...

Seeing the head emerge from the ground, Violet's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "It's Pica!"

Why is this guy here?

Wasn't he stopped by another member of the Straw Hat Pirates?

Could it be... that guy killed him?

Thinking of this, Violet turned to Luffy and said, "Is your crewmate...?"

Don't worry.

Xi Yan said without hesitation, "Zoro will definitely be fine, but... he might have gotten lost again."

As he spoke, Xi Yan glanced back in the direction they had come from. He guessed that Zoro must have run off to some strange place while chasing him, which was why he lost track of his opponent.

Well, he wasn't surprised at all.
