Who Did It?

"Don't even think about harming His King Riku!"

A sharp sword wind howled in, and Baby5 hurriedly turned her head, instinctively reaching out to block it. Her right arm even transformed into a long sword, but with a crisp sound, fragments broke off and fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

Her face turned deathly pale with pain. Ignoring her broken arm, Baby5 disappeared into the shadows, out of sight of everyone.

Kyros, dressed like an ancient Greek warrior and wielding a giant sword, looked utterly astonished.

"Little girl, what's going on?"

"Kyros, stop! She is a hero who saved Dressrosa, not a wicked pirate who attacked the country..."

After a series of King Riku was filled with regret. His intervention was clearly too late; the child's arm had already been severed in two by Kyros.

"How so?"

Upon arriving in the capital, the first thing Kyros saw was a figure slowly walking toward King Riku, who had conjured a sword.

Without even noticing his surroundings, filled with worry, he rashly associated the Kuma with that figure.

As for whether they are children or not, both the navy and certain evil pirate hunters secretly train young children to carry out assassination work.

Having worked for a long time in the royal guard, Kyros also understood that bullets fired from children could be more deadly than those fired from adults.

"There's nothing we can do. Since the misunderstanding has already happened, all we can do is apologize to them and, with the attitude of the Riku Royal Family, ask the ' Fairies ' to treat the child's injuries."

King Riku spoke in a heavy tone. Even so, it was still uncertain whether the other party could accept it. What Riku Dold III was more worried about now was the attitude of the person behind the other party.

"I am truly sorry, Your King Riku, I acted too impulsively..."

Just as the two were admitting their mistakes to each other, inside the Dressrosa Royal Palace in the distance, endless White Sea were dancing wildly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Wild Wave White Line ..."

Waves intertwined and converged, stirring up countless rubble walls, relentlessly attacking the icy blue figure amidst the white sea of lines.

However, the entity within remained unmoved, while the icy blue flame clouds behind it spread around, freezing and shattering numerous oceans of lines.

"What kind of ability is this? And it's a Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability? How is this possible? This level of coldness is comparable to Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit!"

Donquixote Doflamingo, his face grave, watched as the surrounding ruins, rocks, and earth transformed into endless, continuous String-String Ocean.

"Since simple oppression isn't working, how about this move? Haiyuan White Wave!"

The wind howled, and the waves arrived in an instant.

In the desolate white sea plain, Yamato, frozen into an ice core, rises and falls amidst the waves of island after island, like a toy tossed and caught by the waves, enduring layers of immense force.

However, Yamato, seemed completely oblivious to the scene before her, and even the raging waves, comparable to a landslide and a tsunami, failed to elicit a trace of surprise from her.

"It's useless. After awakening, Zoan-type Devil Fruit Ability User are far stronger than Paramecia Type in terms of both stamina and recovery ability, especially the rarer Zoan-type Mythical Zoan..."

"Attrition tactics are nothing but a path to self-destruction for you. Save your energy and play the lane."

Doflamingo grinned, a strange laugh spreading across his face, but his eyes behind his sunglasses held no trace of amusement.

"Fufufufufu, I can't even get you to take things seriously, yet you personally point out my shortcomings during the battle. Don't underestimate me!"

"A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart - Feather Strike - Thread!"

Thousands upon thousands of threads rose from the ground, like the wings of Flamingo spreading out, with specks of deep purple Armament Haki wrapped around them, each thread pointing directly at the figure suspended in mid-air, attacking every imaginable blind spot.

"Hmm, this move is not bad, Overlord's Entanglement: Ice Emperor Slash!"

He swung the iron rod into a full moon, unleashing a long-range attack imbued with chilling aura and Conqueror's Haki. Before the rain of arrows descended upon him, the chilling aura had already spread into countless threads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Broken threads, carrying a chill, descend from the sky, adorning Dressrosa, a place where snow never falls, with layers of thin white snow.

"What... what kind of power is this? A thread comparable to the hardest steel was actually defeated in one move..."

"Yes, that's how it is. It's not an attack from the outside, but from within. This is the fighting style of the Four Emperors. This is the unevenness of the world?!"

"I've realized it. Those who play with strings, no matter how strong their outer Armament Haki is, are still incredibly vulnerable inside..."

"So-called Armament Haki is nothing more than putting on layers of solid armor on the outside of a person. No matter how much you train, you can't train the internal organs. I'll finish you off in the next move."

Yamato's Yamato determination was reflected in his icy blue pupils. Doflamingo no longer cared about his physical exhaustion, and the successive blows made him abandon his underestimation.

"The brats around the Four Emperors are much stronger than other brats. If you defeat them, the World Government will probably take the opportunity to revoke my title of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"I haven't even turned this world, ruled by the Celestial Dragons, upside down yet. How could I possibly be defeated by you? 16 Holy Bullets - God Slayer!"

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Sixteen threads wrapped in high-density Armament Haki shot into the sky, the purple threads rushing straight towards him at an unimaginable speed, causing Doflamingo's mind to flash through a series of memories.

His arrogant childhood in Holy Land Mary Geoise, the sudden changes in his life, the revenge he faced after losing his Celestial Dragons status, his angry words on the stake, the unexpected awakening of his Conqueror's Haki...

After that, he personally murdered his father, only to be rejected by the Celestial Dragons. The secret he accidentally discovered further fueled Celestial Dragons pursuit...

For the sake of the Ope Ope no Mi, he was willing to kill his last remaining family member.

"Why? Why am I thinking about these things, I..."

"Great Power Thunder Bagua!"

The shattered remains of the 16 Holy Bullets - God's Slaughter, the unimaginable power, the constantly shattering organs, and the blood gushing from his mouth left Doflamingo in a daze.

"Yes, that's how it is... I'm the one who lost..."

Thump!

Falling from mid-air to the ground, covered in blood, Donquixote Doflamingo closed his eyes unwillingly. After falling into a coma, he unconsciously used threads to barely sew up his shattered organs, on the verge of death.

"This is the battle of Devil Fruit Awakening. It's my first time fighting Paramecia Type awakened being. Apart from being a bit weak in domineering aura, everything else is fine."

Yamato muttered to herself, when suddenly Baby5's figure appeared in the shadows beneath her. Her pale face and severed arm made her grip her weapon tightly.

"Who did this?"
