"Marshal Sengoku, Doflamingo has been defeated. He went down in a single blow."
"Do we move in now? Even together, we wouldn't stand a chance. The enemy's too strong. Only an Admiral could take him on!"
"An Admiral? All three are on assignments. Even Akainu, who's closest to you, would need at least ten hours to get there."
"Then we abandon Doflamingo..."
Sengoku rubbed his aching head. He hadn't expected a Shichibukai to fall in one blow. It made the whole group look bad. Worse, from what he'd heard over the Den Den Mushi, several Marine Vice Admirals believed the enemy had the strength of an Admiral.
Now his head hurt even more.
A monster on an Admiral's level had appeared out of nowhere, and he was on the pirates' side. Meanwhile, the Navy hadn't raised many promising recruits in recent years. Even its best newcomers were only at Vice Admiral level.
There wasn't a single rising star qualified to succeed an Admiral.
The pirates, on the other hand, produced capable Supernovas every year, not to mention the great pirate crews entrenched in the New World.
After a few seconds of silence, Sengoku picked up another Den Den Mushi to contact Kizaru, one of the Three Admirals. Having eaten the Logia Pika Pika no Mi, Kizaru alone had both the power to contend with the enemy and the speed to reach the battlefield in time.
Uchiha Madara and Izuna Uchiha immediately felt cheated. They had only made it halfway up the mountain when Uchiha Jobu took down their target, Doflamingo, in a single blow.
Doflamingo crawled out of the crater, his face deathly pale. His injuries were so severe that his insides had almost been completely torn apart.
If he hadn't used the String-String Fruit to stitch his ruptured organs
