"Quick! Think of something! Put out this damn fire!"
Doflamingo watched Diamante roll around on the ground in agony, his screams growing weaker and weaker. Veins bulged across Doflamingo's forehead as he roared madly at the officers beside him!
Yet against those strange black flames, neither water, mucus, nor rocks had any effect. Even Seastone powder was useless!
Diamante's arm was being burned into charcoal at a visible rate, giving off a nauseating stench of scorched flesh!
If this continued, Diamante would be burned alive!
Doflamingo suddenly turned, his crimson gaze locking onto the tiny figure in midair.
"Brat! Put out that fire right now!"
His voice was hoarse, carrying barely suppressed fury and a trace of terror he refused to acknowledge.
Lynn floated in the air, his delicate little face as calm as ever, without the slightest ripple in his dark eyes.
He raised his chubby little hand, pointed at Doflamingo, then pointed at the distant SMILE factory.
His childish voice carried clearly to everyone's ears.
"Conditions."
"Agree."
Doflamingo trembled with rage, his eyes behind his sunglasses nearly spitting fire!
"You fucking dare negotiate with me?!"
"I'll kill you first!"
Before he finished speaking, Doflamingo flung open his fingers, and countless threads too fast for the naked eye to catch shot from his fingertips!
"Overheat!"
The threads converged in midair into an incomparably thick white whip, lashing viciously at Lynn with a shriek that tore through the air!
This strike was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!
"Young Master Lynn, watch out!"
Jack roared, raising his massive ivory scimitar to block the attack head-on!
He absolutely could not let Young Master Lynn suffer any harm!
"Doflamingo... You dare attack Young Master Lynn? You're dead!!"
Jack flew into a rage.
All the Beasts Pirates members roared as well.
A brutal slaughter was about to erupt once more.
Suddenly.
"Yah."
A light little voice rang out.
Lynn's tiny figure slowly turned around, his dark eyes calmly looking at Jack.
Then he swept his gaze over the Beasts Pirates members behind Jack, who were likewise preparing to attack.
"All of you."
"Are not allowed."
"To attack."
His childish voice carried an unquestionable authority.
"Yah?" Jack's eyes widened, his face full of confusion and anxiety. "Young Master Lynn! This..."
"I."
Lynn puffed out his little chest slightly.
"Will."
"Fight."
"All of them."
"Alone."
Huh?!
The moment those words came out.
Jack was stunned!
The Beasts Pirates members were stunned!
Young Master Lynn... was going to fight the Donquixote Family, the Golden Emperor, and a group of underworld big shots all by himself?!
Doflamingo's officers were briefly stunned before breaking into scornful laughter.
"What nonsense is this little brat talking about?"
"You think a billion-berry bounty makes you impressive? Don't forget, Jack the Drought has a billion-berry bounty too, and we're not afraid of him either!"
"One against all of us? Who do you think you are, Kaido?"
Even Doflamingo's furious expression twisted into an exceedingly cruel smile.
"Fufufufu... Interesting! Very interesting!"
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
He looked at Jack, his gaze filled with provocation. "Jack, did you hear that? Your Young Master said it himself! If you dare interfere, that means you don't respect him! Fufufufu!"
Jack's face turned livid, his fists cracking as he clenched them.
Though he did not understand why Young Master Lynn was doing this, he would obey Young Master Lynn's orders without question!
"Yes! Young Master Lynn!"
Gritting his teeth, Jack put away his ivory scimitar and slowly retreated with the Beasts Pirates members.
A strange glint flashed through Tesoro's golden eyes as he watched Lynn with interest. What was this little brat up to?
Seeing this, the smile on Doflamingo's face became even more sinister.
"Brat! You brought this on yourself!"
"Bullet String!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!
Countless bullet-like threads shot wildly from his fingertips, blanketing Lynn from all directions!
Every single thread contained terrifying piercing power!
Yet Lynn remained suspended in midair, his tiny body completely motionless, as if he had no intention of dodging at all!
"Young Master Lynn!"
Jack and the others' eyes went bloodshot as their hearts rose to their throats!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!!!
A dense barrage of impacts rang out like rain striking plantain leaves!
Those threads capable of piercing steel slammed solidly into Lynn's tender little body!
"Fufufufu! Die!"
Doflamingo looked like a madman, attacking with both hands as his assault poured down like a furious storm!
"Athlete!"
"Black Knight!"
All kinds of incredibly sharp String-String Fruit techniques bombarded Lynn as though they cost nothing!
The entire dock was churned into a haze of dust and flying rubble by the violent barrage!
Lynn's tiny figure was instantly swallowed by the terrifying attacks and the dust filling the sky!
Jack's eyes were blood-red, and he was nearly crushing his teeth!
If Young Master Lynn had not ordered him otherwise, he would have already rushed forward and torn Doflamingo to pieces!
The Beasts Pirates members all clenched their fists, their faces filled with worry and fury!
"Hmph! Pathetic!"
Pica let out a shrill laugh.
"I thought he was some kind of monster, but he was just an idiot who loved to boast!"
Though Diamante was still enduring Amaterasu's burning, a gleeful smile appeared on his face at the sight.
Doflamingo slowly stopped attacking, panting heavily, a sickly flush on his face.
He looked at the area shrouded in dust, the corner of his mouth curling into a cruel arc.
"Fufufufu... It's over."
"Kaido's son? He's nothing special!"
Tesoro and the underworld big shots all breathed a sigh of relief as well.
That Conqueror's Haki from earlier had truly frightened them.
But now it seemed that this little brat was still too green.
The dust slowly dispersed.
Everyone stared fixedly in that direction.
Gradually.
A small silhouette emerged from the dust.
The smile on Doflamingo's face suddenly froze!
The mockery and smugness on the faces of the family officers behind him froze as well!
Jack and the Beasts Pirates members widened their eyes and held their breath!
They saw—
The dust completely cleared.
Lynn's tiny figure still floated in midair.
Not a single hair was harmed!
A pale blue, skeletal mass of energy covered the surface of his body!
The energy construct was incomplete, consisting only of several thick ribs and part of a spine, yet it radiated a terrifying aura that made hearts tremble!
Those blue bones were like the sturdiest armor, perfectly protecting Lynn's tiny body within!
Doflamingo's storm-like barrage had not even managed to scratch the surface of that skeletal layer!
"Th-This... what is that?!"
Doflamingo's eyes bulged wider than bells, his face full of shock.
His trademark "Fufufufu" laugh was completely caught in his throat!
Pica, Sugar, Trebol... every Donquixote Family officer looked as though they had seen a ghost, their expressions utterly spectacular!
"H-How is that possible?!"
"He... He isn't hurt at all?!"
"Th-Those blue bones... what are they?!"
"This little brat... Why are his methods getting stranger and stranger?!"
Tesoro's golden pupils abruptly contracted. The composure on his face vanished completely, replaced by deep horror and disbelief!
Jack was stunned for a moment, then burst into earth-shaking laughter!
"Wororororororo! Young Master Lynn is fucking amazing!"
"I knew it! Young Master Lynn is the strongest!"
The Beasts Pirates members erupted into thunderous cheers as well!
