Acting on Emotion

"I don't need your approval!" Luo shouted.

As he spoke, Luo slashed at the edge of the tower's spire, cleaving it in two with a single blow.

He then used his ability to control the tower's tip to smash it towards Doflamingo.

"Tact!"

"Outer Wall Tower!"

Seeing the Outer Wall Tower rapidly approaching, Trebol's expression changed, and he said, "Hey, Doflamingo, the Outer Wall Tower is flying over!"

Doflamingo's expression didn't change at all upon hearing this; he simply calmly raised his right hand and activated his Devil Fruit ability.

"Spider Web Wall!"

"Bump!"

The next moment, an enormous spider web appeared in mid-air, forcefully blocking the Outer Wall Tower that Luo was smashing down.

"Tch..."

After realizing that his attack had failed, Luo gave up controlling the massive Outer Wall Tower.

He then used his ability to manipulate the falling rocks to hurtle Doflamingo.

"It's useless."

Doflamingo snorted coldly, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, he pulled himself up, successfully dodging Law's attack.

Then, he looked down at Luo, who was catching up, and launched a Silk Thread attack.

Shambles!

"Whoosh~"

Law activated his ability and instantly appeared behind Doflamingo, dodging the attack while simultaneously Teuchi Doflamingo's heart.

"Scalpel!"

"Bump!"

"Hateful..."

Looking at his right hand, which was being held by Doflamingo, Law's expression turned grim.

It seems that severely injuring Doflamingo is no easy task.

"Stop using those useless attacks on me," Doflamingo said, his face full of displeasure. "You've turned into a hot-headed idiot... I'm truly disappointed."

After speaking, Doflamingo paused for a moment, then commented, "Law!"

"You can't see the big picture; you're always fixated on trivial things."

"Therefore, they are unable to make decisions at crucial moments."

"You... still couldn't pull that crucial trigger, Luo!"

At this point, Doflamingo couldn't help but grin.

That look made it seem like he was mocking Luo.

"And besides, forget pulling the trigger," Doflamingo continued, "You can't even put your finger on the trigger."

"The weaker a person is, the more fixated they are on the suffering of others, ultimately leading themselves down a path of no return."

"If you really wanted to kill me, you should have carried out your plan to start a conflict between me and Kaido."

"There are countless ways to eliminate an enemy, but... the moment your feelings for Corazon surfaced and you considered defeating me by surprise, you already sealed your own fate!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"Fufufufufu!"

After saying that, Doflamingo couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Then, Doflamingo looked down at Law and asked, "Do you remember?"

"Documents from that time!"

"Documents..."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Law recalled the document that Mr. Corazon had given him years ago.

[Law, as soon as any navy personnel see this, they'll immediately understand what I mean.]

[This document can save a distant country called Dressrosa.]

But when he handed it over to the navy, he not only didn't receive any aid, but was instead brutally beaten up.

Because... that navy officer is named Vergo!

It was because of this that Mr. Corazon was discovered and ultimately died tragically in the snow.

And that's why he hates that bastard Vergo so much!

When Doflamingo saw the change in Law's expression, he knew that the guy understood what he meant.

"Corazon intended to save the Kingdom of Dressrosa," Doflamingo grinned. "If you hadn't made that mistake that day, his wish would have truly come true."

"Fufufufufu~"

"You can't have forgotten, can you? It was your actions that led to Corazon's death there."

"If that document were still alive... perhaps the tragedy that befell this country wouldn't have happened."

"But unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in this world!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"Fufufufufu!"

Doflamingo grinned widely, believing that fate was on his side.

After all, the navy that Law found back then was Vergo!

Otherwise, it's hard to say what would have happened to his Donquixote Family.

Ignoring Doflamingo's taunts, Law calmly asked, "Is that what you think?"

"Um?"

Doflamingo was taken aback. What did this guy mean?

Then, as if he understood something, he grinned again.

"Still pretty calm, you stubborn bastard."

"You're right. If you ask me, no matter what happens to that document, I will eventually ascend the throne of this country!"

"After all... I am someone who inherited the blood of a god!"

As he spoke, Doflamingo increased the pressure on Law's arm, forcibly causing Law to release his grip.

Ignoring the Kikoku of the falling ghost, Doflamingo grabbed Law's hands and held them firmly in place.

He then activated his Devil Fruit ability, creating an incredibly thin and sharp Silk Thread from his leg and placing it on Law's arm.

"Luo~"

"Everything Corazon did, risking his life, ultimately came to nothing."

"Fufufufufu~"

"The outcome is for me to decide, not for you to make the decision!" Luo stubbornly said, "Everything I did before I died was thanks to Mr. Corazon!"

"I see."

"Fufufufufu~"

Doflamingo grinned and said, "That's so touching, it almost brings tears to my eyes!"

"That's right!"

"Whether it's a tragedy or a situation, only established facts count as reality!"

"Your act of eating the Op-Op Fruit and escaping is one such example, your declaration of war against me on Punk Hazard is another, and your determination to come here and fight me now is yet another!"

After saying that, Doflamingo carried Law and plummeted downwards, intending to use the force of the fall to sever Law's arm!

Law clearly sensed Doflamingo's intentions, and began to struggle fiercely.

However, Doflamingo restricted his hands with Haki -bound grip, preventing him from using his Devil Fruit powers to break free.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

"Puff!!"

"Ah!!"

Luo, whose arm had been severed, screamed in agony, his face turning deathly pale.

The pain of this severed limb directly exceeded Luo's limit of endurance.

"Hahaha~"

"Well done, Doflamingo!"

Trebol couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "That wire saw severing of the arm was absolutely beautiful!"

"Hahaha~"

"Keep screaming, Luo, I really enjoy hearing your screams~"

"Hahaha~"

"I laughed so hard my snot was running down my face!"

Doflamingo grinned as well; Law's pathetic, defeated state was truly laughable.

Doflamingo then narrowed his eyes, wondering how to deal with Law.

If only I could get this guy to willingly use the Perennial Youth Operation on me, then I could get everything I wanted.

With this in mind, Doflamingo began to ponder.

While Doflamingo was pondering a problem, Luffy was working hard below.

"Huff... huff..."

Having finally broken free of his restraints Luffy gasped for breath, then his eyes narrowed as he said, "Come on, fake Mingo!"

Today, he'll give this bastard a good beating with his fists!

Luffy then wrapped his Haki in Haki and charged towards Doflamingo's clone.

"Rubber..."

"Fufufufufu~"

Before Luffy could even launch an attack, Doflamingo's clone immediately manipulated Bellamy to stand in front of him, intending to use Bellamy's body to block Luffy's attack.

Upon seeing this, Luffy immediately stopped what he was doing, fearing that Bellamy would kill him.

Doflamingo's clone seized the opportunity, quickly appearing behind Luffy and unleashing a Five-Color Strings attack.

"Five-Color Strings!"

"Puff!"

With a single strike, it cleaved the wall in two!

"That was close!"

Luffy ducked to avoid the attack, his expression Luffy slightly; he had almost been hit again.

"It's not over yet."

"Bullet String!"

Without giving Luffy a chance to catch his breath, Doflamingo once again launched a Thread Ball at Luffy, blasting large holes in the walls one after another.

"Hateful..."

Luffy Second Gear, then took to the air, intending to launch an attack on Doflamingo mid-air.

"Rubber jet..."

Before Luffy could even throw a punch, Bellamy reappeared in front of Doflamingo.

"Hateful!"

Seeing this, Luffy withdrew his attack again, clearly displeased.

That despicable guy just uses Bellamy as a shield, that bastard!

"Stop!"

Bellamy, with tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Please, stop!"

He really didn't want to attack Straw Hat.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo ignored this guy and continued to control his body to attack Luffy.

"Hey, fake Mingo!" Luffy said, "Let Bellamy go."

What's the point of this bullying fighting style?

Doflamingo didn't answer, but instead gave Luffy an arrogant look, which infuriated Luffy.

"Hateful!"

Armament Haki: Hardening!

After wrapping his hands in Haki, Luffy quickly charged towards Doflamingo and threw a punch.

"Bump!"

"What?"

Seeing Doflamingo's clone raise its hand and grab his fist, Luffy's eyes flashed with surprise. His fist had actually been grabbed?

"I won't let you escape again." Doflamingo grinned maliciously, "Five-Color Strings!"

As he spoke, Doflamingo raised his other hand and created Five-Color Strings, then mercilessly struck Luffy.

But Luffy didn't give Doflamingo a chance to hit him; before Doflamingo's attack could arrive, he raised his other fist and struck.

"Bump!"

That fist, brimming with Haki, sent Doflamingo flying.

"Bump!"

"It's not over yet!"

Seeing Doflamingo sliding down the wall, Luffy charged forward again.

This time, however, Doflamingo didn't choose to take the hit head-on; instead, he pulled Bellamy over to him.

"Hateful..."

Luffy stopped in his tracks, his face full of displeasure.

Is all that bastard Doflamingo knows how to do is exploit Bellamy?

"Fufufufufu~"

Doflamingo was very satisfied with Luffy's reaction; this was more interesting.

Then, he shoved Bellamy's back and said, "Get up there!"

Upon hearing this, Bellamy, who was being manipulated, immediately began to Luffy towards Luffy, step by step.

"You bastard, let go of Bellamy!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"That won't do," Doflamingo laughed. "This guy is a very useful tool, you know."

Although he didn't know why the Straw Hat cared so much about Bellamy, since the other party did care, he could use Bellamy to effectively restrain the Straw Hat.

Fufufufufu~

"Damn it Mingo!"

Luffy cursed in annoyance, then activated Second Gear, quickly appearing beside Doflamingo and throwing a punch!

"Bump!"

"Bellamy!"

Seeing Bellamy, who was being manipulated by Doflamingo to block his attack, Luffy's expression immediately changed.

"Sorry, are you alright?"

As they were talking, Luffy Teuchi check on Bellamy's condition, but was forced back by the large sword in Bellamy's hand.

Bellamy, who was being controlled by Doflamingo, could do nothing but let out some mournful cries.

"Bellamy..."

Watching Bellamy slowly get up, Luffy suddenly became very annoyed.

"Damn it, Mingo, you're so despicable!"

While dodging Bellamy's attacks, Luffy grumbled irritably, "How long are you going to torture Bellamy?"

"If you're so capable, let him go!"

"When?"

"Fufufufufu~"

Doflamingo grinned and said, "Didn't Law already say that?"

"It won't stop attacking until this thing breaks down~"

"Fufufufufu~"

"If you want him to stop, just kill him."

"Fufufufufu!"

In the end, Doflamingo couldn't help but burst into laughter; he really wanted to know what the Straw Hat's choice would be.

Would he kill this guy he considered a friend with his own hands?

Fufufufufu~

"Hateful!"

Luffy cursed in annoyance, then swung his arm out, forcefully binding Bellamy and temporarily stopping him.

"It doesn't matter."

With tears streaming down his face, Bellamy said, "Kill me, Straw Hat."

For Bellamy, death was actually a relief.

After all... he was truly desperate right now.

"I can't do it," Luffy frowned. "I want to knock that guy... no, I want to knock out the real Mingo."

Please!

"Please!" Bellamy cried, "Kill me!"

"Didn't I say I couldn't do it?"

"Please, kill me, Straw Hat," Bellamy cried out in despair.

He was already in despair the moment Doflamingo treated him like trash.

And then there's Straw Hat's reaction...

At this moment, Bellamy truly wanted to end it all with her death.

If he dies, the Straw Hat won't be held back by Doflamingo anymore, making it much easier for Doflamingo to either leave or defeat him.

So... let him die here!
