"Understood!! Let's go together!!" the vice-captain said.
"M-Me too, I'm coming too!!"
"Me too!!!"
The citizens all volunteered one after another. At that moment, King Riku said, "All right, everyone, head down to the town below immediately. It's not too late to reduce the number of victims."
"Even if we can't fight, there are still things we can do!!!" the citizens said. "Let's go!!!" They all followed the former King Riku toward the town.
Meanwhile, at the palace, Doflamingo panted heavily in anger. "Doffy!!" Trebol called out from behind him.
After Doflamingo finished catching his breath, he turned around and said, "Forget it. We can just look for the Op-Op Fruit again."
"That's true," Trebol said. "Then next..."
At that moment, Doflamingo said, "Let's bring this all to an end!" He laughed, suddenly raised his hands toward the sky, and then brought them together.
All at once, the Birdcage surrounding Dressrosa began to shake and slowly tighten.
Luffy also burst out and shouted, "Doflamingo!!!! Where are you!!!!"
Doflamingo turned around with a grin. "Straw Hat, you came back late. After I freed Bellamy, he regained his freedom, didn't he?"
"Quit playing dumb, you knew!!!" Luffy immediately launched a huge attack at Doflamingo. "You knew he wouldn't run away! Gum-Gum Pistol!!!"
Doflamingo used Spider's Web to block the attack. As the two clashed, Doflamingo smiled and said, "Is that so? Bellamy didn't run away."
"What are you laughing at?" Luffy shouted. Gum-Gum Rifle! Enraged, Luffy unleashed attack after attack at Doflamingo.
Yet Doflamingo remained completely unharmed. Suddenly, a mass of white strings burst from the ground and wrapped around Luffy—it was Doflamingo's white strings!!! Luffy immediately dodged aside.
The white strings tried to bind him, but luckily he evaded them. They repeatedly shot toward where he stood, and Luffy sprang away.
