Beating Donquixote Doflamingo to a Pulp!

Bang!!!

That punch sent him flying.

Donquixote Doflamingo crashed heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of dark blood.

"Damn it."

"How is he so fast?"

"I clearly used Observation Haki too!"

Donquixote Doflamingo rose to his feet and wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his expression extremely grim.

Indeed.

Donquixote Doflamingo had been using Observation Haki just now. Logically, with Observation Haki, he should have been able to evade an attack like that. Yet he had never expected Roya's speed to be so great that it had surpassed even the speed of his Observation Haki's perception.

"This guy... is strong!" Jack the Drought, who was watching from the side, narrowed his eyes in surprise.

"Donquixote Doflamingo, you're no match for me. I'll give you one last chance. Kneel and beg for mercy, and I won't make things difficult for you. Just come with me obediently," Roya said coldly.

"Kneel?"

"I'm a World Noble with Celestial Dragon blood!"

"If anyone should kneel, it should be you kneeling before me!"

Donquixote Doflamingo roared once more.

The next moment, he attacked again, using his String-String Fruit power to soar into the air.

"16 Holy Bullets: God Thread!"

With Donquixote Doflamingo's furious roar, sixteen massive white threads wrapped in powerful Armament Haki surged from the ground and stabbed toward Roya at incredible speed.

The sight was immensely shocking. Even Jack felt an extreme sense of danger from Donquixote Doflamingo's attack.

Yet Roya remained where he stood, looking remarkably calm.

Just as the sixteen massive white threads wrapped in Armament Haki were about to strike Roya, a stream of dark matter erupted from his body and blocked them.

The dark matter was like a black hole, directly holding back the sixteen massive white threads wrapped in Armament Haki. Moreover, it was slowly devouring the power of Donquixote Doflamingo's String-String Fruit.

"What's going on? Is this guy a Devil Fruit user too? No, that can't be right. Vergo never said he was one!" Donquixote Doflamingo was stunned.

That was right. Roya had used his Dark-Dark Fruit power and also coated it with Armament Haki.

After the two forces remained locked in a stalemate for dozens of seconds, the sixteen massive white threads wrapped in Armament Haki snapped apart and fell to the ground like shattered glass.

Likewise.

Donquixote Doflamingo crashed heavily to the ground once again.

But this time, Roya had no intention of wasting any more words on him. He simply stretched out his hand and swiftly activated his Dark-Dark Fruit power.

Like Blackbeard Teach's technique, Dark Water, a powerful force of attraction rapidly dragged Donquixote Doflamingo toward him.

Then Roya released another stream of darkness that struck Donquixote Doflamingo directly. The latter immediately felt as though his Devil Fruit power had malfunctioned.

The next moment, Roya gripped Donquixote Doflamingo's arm tightly. A cold smile curled across his lips as his other hand clenched into a fist and came smashing down.

Donquixote Doflamingo had nowhere to run, so he could only take the punch head-on.

Still, Donquixote Doflamingo was a tough one. Though he had been struck, he did not make a sound and even tried with all his strength to break free from Roya's grasp.

Yet no matter how he tried, he could not use the power of his String-String Fruit.

Donquixote Doflamingo's eyes widened as he froze. "This... my Devil Fruit power..."

"Your Devil Fruit power is useless in front of me," Roya sneered.

"Impossible! How is this possible? Did you use Seastone?"

"No, if it were Seastone, you wouldn't be able to use your Devil Fruit power either!"

"It isn't Seastone, yet it can restrict my Devil Fruit power?"

"What kind of power is this?"

Donquixote Doflamingo roared.

"You want to know?"

"Then take a beating first!"

Roya held Donquixote Doflamingo tightly and began pummeling him.

To be honest, Donquixote Doflamingo relied heavily on his Devil Fruit power. With his String-String Fruit unusable, he could only endure blow after blow.

"What kind of Devil Fruit power does this guy have? It can almost produce the same effect as Seastone and nullify other people's Devil Fruit powers?" Even Jack the Drought could not figure it out.

After all, a brute like him would never make a point of memorizing the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

"Young Master..."

"Damn it! What are you doing to our Young Master?!"

"Let the Young Master go!"

Diamante, Trebol, Pica, and the other top officers who had been knocked unconscious by Roya were gradually coming around. Seeing Donquixote Doflamingo's miserable state, they flew into a rage and rushed forward together, intending to rescue him from Roya's hands.

Unfortunately.

Would Roya give them that chance? Of course not!

He unleashed another powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, even stronger than before, knocking all of the Donquixote officers unconscious again.

"Damn it... Roya..."

Donquixote Doflamingo wanted to say something, but Roya did not give him the chance. He grabbed him and gave him another savage beating.

Only a few minutes later, Donquixote Doflamingo had completely passed out and lost all consciousness.

Seeing this, the Marines following Roya hurried over with Seastone handcuffs. They cuffed not only Donquixote Doflamingo, but spared none of the other officers either.

Just as Roya was about to take Donquixote Doflamingo and the others away.

Jack the Drought finally could not hold back any longer. The man with a bounty of one billion Berries stepped forward with a cold expression. "Stop right there. Who gave you permission to take him away?"

It was not that he necessarily wanted to help Donquixote Doflamingo. Rather, he knew that if Donquixote Doflamingo was arrested, the Beasts Pirates' supply of Artificial Devil Fruits would be cut off.

If that supply was cut off, one of the Four Emperors, Kaido, would certainly fly into a rage. And once Kaido flew into a rage, no one could stop him.

Therefore.

How could Jack the Drought possibly let Roya take Donquixote Doflamingo away right before his eyes?

"Oh, right. I forgot about you."

Roya turned to glance at Jack the Drought. "One of the Beasts Pirates' Three Calamities, Jack the Drought. You too—go to Impel Down with Donquixote Doflamingo!"

"Go to Impel Down together? Zehahahaha!!"

"Who the hell do you think I am?!"

Jack the Drought's face darkened completely.
