In the Royal Palace plaza in Dressrosa.

Doflamingo's expression was utterly grim. His bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Satoru Gojo as though he were about to devour him.

Something had gone wrong with Sugar's Devil Fruit ability, which meant the dark truth behind his brutal rule over Dressrosa would be exposed.

When that happened, the entire sea would learn of it, and the World Government would surely strip him of his Shichibukai title.

He could no longer continue ruling Dressrosa. Since that was the case, he absolutely could not allow what had happened here to get out!

Doflamingo's thoughts raced as he considered how to respond to the situation. At last, he made his decision.

Even if I have to destroy all of Dressrosa, I must wipe everyone out. What happened here must never reach the rest of the sea!

"Birdcage!"

While Satoru Gojo had yet to attack, Doflamingo abruptly spread his hand and swept it toward the sky.

White strings instantly gathered overhead, then split into countless threads that descended like a birdcage. The difference was that it held not birds, but all of Dressrosa.

Doflamingo was one of the Shichibukai, a pirate who had entered into an agreement with the government. If the atrocities here were exposed...

Then the World Government would certainly revoke his Shichibukai title to preserve its own reputation.

But if he killed everyone here who knew the truth, then pinned all the blame on the Jujutsu Pirates, he could keep his Shichibukai title.

Although he would have to abandon Dressrosa, which he had spent years building up, as long as he retained his Shichibukai title, he could make a comeback!

True to his reputation as a ruthless leader, Doflamingo had decided what to sacrifice.

Satoru Gojo looked up at the sky, gazing at the Birdcage that enveloped all of Dressrosa, and said:

"Birdcage? Is this your move?"

Not only could the Birdcage kill every living thing enclosed within it, but it could also block all radio signals throughout Dressrosa, preventing anyone inside from sending word out.

"Did you think I'd let your scheme succeed?"

"What?!"

"Ever White!"

Sensing trouble, Doflamingo immediately unleashed Ever White.

Under the influence of his Devil Fruit ability, thin white strings gathered into waves that instantly surged toward Satoru Gojo.

An attack of this level could not hurt Satoru Gojo, but he had something more important to do.

Satoru Gojo immediately used Teleportation, appeared above the Birdcage, and threw a punch.

Boom!

The sturdy, incredibly sharp Birdcage instantly fell apart under Satoru Gojo's attack.

"Bastard!"

Watching his plan fall apart, Doflamingo's hatred for Satoru Gojo reached its peak.

"Time to get started, Lucci!"

As though responding to Satoru Gojo's call, Lucci and the other five immediately switched on the Image Den Den Mushi they had set up beforehand.

Projections of the battle at Dressrosa's Royal Palace appeared in many places throughout Dressrosa.

Almost every civilian in Dressrosa could see the clash between the Jujutsu Pirates and the Donquixote Family, as well as the confrontation between Satoru Gojo and Doflamingo.

Coming before Doflamingo, Satoru Gojo said:

"Doflamingo seized the Dressrosa Kingdom through unjust means, killed countless people who resisted him, and turned those who refused to obey into toys that labored for him day and night, tearing the families of Dressrosa apart. Today, we, the Jujutsu Pirates, will deliver justice in heaven's name, eliminate Doflamingo, and liberate Dressrosa!"

"Jujutsu Pirates! Jujutsu Pirates! Jujutsu Pirates!"

After Sugar's Devil Fruit ability was undone, the civilians of Dressrosa learned the truth, and Doflamingo's image as a great king shattered.

It turned out that the Jujutsu Pirates had come not to invade Dressrosa, but to save it. They had misunderstood the Jujutsu Pirates!

It turned out the Jujutsu Pirates weren’t here to invade Dressrosa, but to save it. They had misunderstood the Jujutsu Pirates!

After Satoru Gojo's righteous declaration was broadcast through the Image Den Den Mushi, the civilians rallied behind the Jujutsu Pirates, hoping they could defeat Doflamingo!

Of course, the ones mingling among them and leading the chants were Lucci and the other five.

"So this was your goal, Satoru Gojo!"

After hearing Satoru Gojo's declaration and sensing the projections appearing throughout Dressrosa with his Observation Haki, Doflamingo finally understood Satoru Gojo's objective.

The Jujutsu Pirates had come to expose what he had done. Otherwise, they could not have prepared so thoroughly.

So this battle had not started because Satoru Gojo discovered they intended to move against the Jujutsu Pirates. Rather, the Jujutsu Pirates had targeted them from the start.

Faced with Doflamingo's questioning, Satoru Gojo said with a righteous expression:

"Doflamingo, you've committed countless evils and deceived the civilians of Dressrosa. Your crimes have now been made public. Surrender!"

"I'll kill you!!!"

Unable to contain his fury any longer, Doflamingo swept both hands sharply, and the countless thin white strings that the buildings had turned into surged wildly toward Satoru Gojo.

Bang!

Hovering in midair, Satoru Gojo struck with the back of his hand, easily scattering the white strings.

"You still refuse to repent, even now. Then I'll punish you myself!"

The moment he finished speaking, Satoru Gojo dove straight toward Doflamingo, bringing his fist down from midair, wreathed in cursed energy.

Whoosh!

The sound of air splitting rang out. Satoru Gojo moved so fast that his figure was barely visible.

He was so fast that Doflamingo had no time to use Shield White String to defend against his punch.

He could only cross his arms above his head and activate Armament Haki, trying to withstand Satoru Gojo's attack.

Boom!

The instant the attack landed, the ground beneath Doflamingo collapsed into a massive crater.

"Pfft!"

He spat out blood and fell into the center of the crater, his chest slightly caved in.

"Doffy!"

Noticing Doflamingo's wretched state, Trebol tried to come to his aid, but Enel blocked him.

Although Enel was not as strong as Esdeath or Sasuke, he was more than capable of dealing with Trebol.

The other officers were pinned down by Esdeath and Sasuke and could not come over.

Satoru Gojo stood beside Doflamingo, looking down at him as he said:

"You lost!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Lying on the ground, Doflamingo coughed violently, blood spraying from his mouth.

"Isn't it a little premature to declare my defeat already?"

As his words fell, he activated his Devil Fruit Awakening. The ground behind Satoru Gojo instantly turned into white strings that surged toward him.

Smack!

Doflamingo slapped both hands against the ground, flipped backward, then turned and fled into the distance at top speed.

Boom!

Breaking through the white strings entangling him, Satoru Gojo followed close behind, his expression unchanged as he pursued Doflamingo.

Although Satoru Gojo could easily catch up to Doflamingo with Teleportation and defeat him...

Defeating Doflamingo so easily would make it feel unreal to the civilians of Dressrosa.

The harder the battle, the more they would remember the kindness of saving them. That would be very helpful when ruling Dressrosa in the future.
