Xia Chen snapped his fingers, and immediately purple ice covered Doflamingo's body.
In just a moment, only the head remained outside; everything below the head was frozen solid.
The biting cold made even the unconscious Doflamingo frown.
After a while, Xia Chen could feel Doflamingo slowly opening his eyes.
As for why it's said to be something you can feel...
Xia Chen truly hadn't expected that Doflamingo, that old bastard, would wear another pair of sunglasses under his sunglasses...
That's really impressive!
Do you have any particular quirks about sunglasses?
For Doflamingo, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a slightly dark place with a light source nearby.
Doflamingo couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw Xia Chen lying on the sofa, looking at him with a half-smile.
In an instant, Doflamingo's face showed a look of horror, a few drops of sweat seeped out, and he hurriedly tried to stand up and distance himself from Xia Chen.
Unfortunately, this is destined to be impossible!
Upon realizing something was wrong with him, Doflamingo immediately looked down.
Then things calmed down.
" Xia Chen, what are you planning to do?"
"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, isn't that obvious?"
"Your subordinates have already gone to the underworld to wait for you, but don't worry, you'll be going down there soon too!"
"We should be able to catch up with them, then you'll have company!" Xia Chen said casually.
"..."
Doflamingo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why didn't you kill me along with them?"
"It's nothing, just something interesting I wanted to share with you! Kaido told me... about you!"
Xia Chen smiled, his gaze falling on Doflamingo's face, wanting to see his expression upon hearing the news.
Although he didn't say exactly what it was about, he believed Doflamingo would understand.
During his battle with Kaido, he asked Kaido this question: why would Doflamingo rather offend him Kaido?
Having experienced the Paramount War, he should understand who had a better chance of winning!
Kaido's answer did indeed shock Xia Chen, but at the same time, it made him understand why Doflamingo would do such a thing.
After all, this incident was indeed somewhat humiliating for him.
To Xia Chen's surprise, Doflamingo's expression didn't change after hearing Xia Chen say this. Instead, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
???
Xia Chen was completely dumbfounded by his expression. Wait a minute! It shouldn't be like this!
How could you laugh? You shouldn't laugh! You shouldn't be laughing!
"So what if I was once... with a man?" Doflamingo said casually.
"Not long?"
"If you take this so lightly, why would you choose to stand against me because of it?" Xia Chen truly didn't understand.
"That's right! I used to see this as a stain on my life! I never wanted to mention it!"
"But now... I don't care anymore! I've... lost everything!"
Doflamingo's words carried a strange meaning, as if it were regret or resentment.
Then, raising his head slightly, he recalled and said:
"That happened many years ago. I went to Wano Country because I needed to talk to Kaido about something!"
"But unexpectedly, upon arriving in Wano Country, I encountered a strangely dressed and behaving person!"
"This strange man is clearly male, but he has no interest in women; instead, he's very interested in men, especially those with fair skin and handsome features!"
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. That's right! I was quite handsome back then, so what happened next was very simple!"
"He has feelings for me, he wants..."
"Then, inevitably, a conflict broke out. This strange man was exceptionally powerful; I was no match for him, and I was quickly subdued and immobilized with Seastone!"
"You probably know what happened next! But what's most disgusting about this weirdo is that he records the whole thing with Den Den Mushi while he's doing it!"
"After he was done, he left, leaving behind the Den Den Mushi used for recording and me, completely naked!"
"Then Kaido's men discovered it, and Kaido eventually got his hands on the Den Den Mushi, using it to blackmail me!"
That's roughly how things happened!
Doflamingo spoke of these things with utter calmness, as if he himself were not the one suffering all of this.
He used to have this nightmare countless nights, waking up in the middle of the night in terror, and for many years he has avoided talking about it!
But it doesn't matter anymore!
Thinking of this, Doflamingo smiled with relief.
"I've carried this burden for so many years, I'm really tired. Now that I've said it all, I feel incredibly relieved!"
"And I've lived my life wrong all these years, always focusing my energy on things other than improving my own strength, only to find out in the end that in this world, strength is everything!"
"If I had your strength, I wouldn't have ended up in that situation. Even afterwards, I could have killed everyone who knew about it, so no one would know!"
"What a pity, I didn't!"
After saying that, Doflamingo remained silent for a long time.
"Is that weirdo still alive?" Xia Chen suddenly asked.
"Live!"
"I've been keeping an eye on him for years, but I've never dared to go to him!"
"It's ridiculous, really, I'm now traumatized by him!"
"Speaking of which, if it were you, you might become his target too, so you'd better be careful! Hahaha..." Doflamingo suddenly said, looking at Xia Chen.
"Do you think I'm the one who should be careful?" Xia Chen replied calmly.
"Too!"
After he finished speaking, another silence fell over the area. It wasn't until much later that Doflamingo spoke again:
"Alright, enough talk, just kill me! Give me a quick death!"
" Doflamingo, I must say, as a pirate, I actually quite admire you!"
"He's ruthless and cruel, capable of harming even his own brother. He disregards life, doesn't value ordinary people's lives, and manipulates the entire Dressrosa under his thumb!"
"It's just a pity... we're on opposite sides! I never show mercy to my enemies, so... your fate was sealed the moment you decided to oppose me!"
"Hahaha... How do you know if I'm deliberately going against you? Perhaps, I just want you to kill me?" Doflamingo revealed a strange smile.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen stared intently at Doflamingo for a long while before suddenly laughing.
"Hahaha..."
"That's interesting!"
"Alright, it's about time I sent you on your way, but since I quite admire you, I can give you a different kind of death!"
After saying that, Xia Chen slowly raised his right hand, his gaze sharpening.
" Planetary Devastation!"
