Doflamingo looked up.
Uchiha Xin and Hancock have already returned to the main ship.
" Rebecca, Viola..."
He remembered the two names without asking why.
I will deliver it on time.
The large ship continued its journey.
Doflamingo remained where he was until the ship disappeared from sight before turning and heading towards Dressrosa.
He was faster than when he arrived.
After returning to the palace, Doflamingo did not see anyone.
He locked himself in his room, took off his shirt, and began to examine his body inch by inch, starting from his chest.
No marks were left on the skin.
Blood flow is normal.
There were no abnormalities in his heart.
He then activated his Armament Haki to cover his entire body, attempting to force out his hidden power.
Still no result.
"Just intimidation?"
Doflamingo sat in his chair, his expression unwavering.
Uchiha Xin had no need to bluff in this way.
But he couldn't find the problem.
Half an hour later, a slight pain suddenly came from my chest.
Doflamingo bowed his head.
The skin is still intact.
The pain began to spread throughout the body.
It felt like something had pierced into the flesh and was moving along the blood vessels.
He immediately activated his Armament Haki.
The pain did not stop.
The String-String Fruit activates.
Numerous fine threads entered the body, attempting to locate that power.
As soon as any of the fine threads approached, they were eroded by an invisible force.
Doflamingo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately severed the control.
The eroded fine lines disintegrated rapidly.
The pain continued to spread.
Chest.
Shoulder.
abdomen.
Limbs.
My physical strength is also slowly depleting.
Doflamingo tried everything.
Haki and overwhelming.
Fruit abilities are separated.
He even cut his arm in an attempt to release that power from his body.
None of it worked.
The erosion has already seeped into the body.
He didn't lie to me.
Doflamingo put his clothes back on and opened the door.
"Someone come here!"
The family members waiting outside immediately approached.
"Young Master."
"Arrest Viola."
"Then take Rebecca to the palace."
The member paused for a moment.
Although Viola joined the Donquixote Family, everyone knew she was not loyal.
Doflamingo kept her around for the sake of the Glint-Glint Fruit's power, and also to stabilize Dressrosa.
"Young Master, what about Viola...?"
Go immediately.
Doflamingo interrupted coldly.
"Kill anyone who dares to stop us."
"Yes!"
The order quickly spread throughout the palace.
Viola wanted to use the Glint-Glint Fruit to leave early, but several family executives blocked her way.
Rebecca was also captured near the arena.
Doflamingo ignored their questions.
He then selected twelve exceptionally beautiful women from the royal palace and the city of Dressrosa.
Since Uchiha Xin specifically requested someone, he sent even more.
As long as the other party is satisfied, twelve women are nothing.
That evening, the entire Donquixote Family had assembled.
Diamante, Trebol, Pica, and Baby-5, among other key players, boarded the Clippers.
Rebecca and Viola were left in the cabin.
The other twelve women were also grouped together.
The Clippers sped away from Dressrosa at top speed.
Doflamingo stood at the bow of the ship, the erosion on his chest continuing.
But as the distance shortened, the pain began to lessen.
At first, it only slowed down the rate of erosion.
Later, even the pain gradually disappeared.
By the time Uchiha Xin's large ship appeared at the edge of the sea, the power within him had completely subsided.
Doflamingo did not relax because of this.
This precisely proves that his life and death were entirely in Uchiha Xin's hands.
The closer the distance, the weaker the erosion.
Once you move away, the erosion will continue.
Uchiha Xin could die at any time if he wanted to.
The Clippers are approaching the larger ship.
Doflamingo was the first to leap onto the deck, placing his right hand on his chest and bowing in greeting.
" Thunder Emperor."
"I've brought the person you wanted."
Rebecca and Viola were brought onto the deck first.
Then came the twelve women.
Diamante and other family members stood at the back, none of them daring to utter a sound.
They already knew Uchiha Xin's identity from Doflamingo, and also knew who killed Red-Haired and Beckman.
Uchiha Xin glanced at Rebecca and Viola, then swept his gaze over the twelve people behind them.
"I only need two people."
Doflamingo maintained his bowed posture.
"The remaining twelve are extra gifts I prepared."
Please accept this.
Uchiha Xin was somewhat surprised.
Doflamingo was indeed willing to go to great lengths to survive.
He raised his hand.
An invisible force covered the deck.
Rebecca, Viola, and twelve other women were lifted off the ground simultaneously.
Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.
They were unharmed, merely held up by a force, and slowly flew towards Uchiha Xin's large ship.
Baby-5, which was standing at the back, also rose up.
She looked down at her feet; her body was already several meters off the deck.
Doflamingo's expression changed.
" Thunder Emperor."
"Baby-5 is a member of the Donquixote Family."
She wasn't among the gifts I prepared.
Uchiha Xin looked at Baby-5, who was dressed in a maid outfit.
It doesn't matter.
"I've got my eye on her."
Doflamingo looked up.
"But..."
Uchiha Xin glanced at him.
Doflamingo swallowed back everything he was about to say.
baby-5 is a family executive.
But his life is still in Uchiha Xin's hands.
Rebellion for the sake of one cadre will only lead to the deaths of everyone.
The faces of the surrounding family members all darkened.
Diamante gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
The power of the Stone-Stone Fruit within Pica's body also began to surge.
baby-5 looked completely bewildered.
"Young Master..."
Doflamingo did not respond.
He dared not stop it.
Trebol couldn't hold back any longer.
The Donquixote Family members were never just subordinates in his eyes.
Baby-5 has been a member of the family for many years, and he has long regarded her as his own younger sister.
Now that Uchiha Xin has forcibly taken her away in front of everyone, he simply cannot accept it.
Give Baby-5 back!
Trebol suddenly raised his arm.
A large amount of slime sprayed out from its body, condensing into a Sticky Chain in mid-air, and coiling towards baby-5!
Uchiha Xin frowned slightly.
Trebol's slime chains had already reached Baby-5.
The mucus stretched and was about to wrap around her waist.
"Stop!"
Doflamingo's expression changed drastically.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Uchiha Xin did not raise his hand.
He didn't even glance at Trebol.
An invisible force emanated from his body.
The slime chain stopped in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the entire chain began to break apart from the front.
It wasn't severed.
It wasn't shattered by Haki.
All the slime seemed to lose its ability to hold on, and in the blink of an eye, it broke down into countless tiny droplets, scattering onto the deck.
Trebol stood frozen in place. Before he could react, the power of the Sticky-Sticky Fruit completely slipped out of his control.
