Uchiha Xin had no intention of killing him immediately.
Doflamingo.
"Exist."
Doflamingo looked up.
Uchiha Xin looked down at him.
"I need an obedient lackey."
Silence fell on the deck once more.
Diamante's expression changed.
Pica raised her head, her lips moving a few times.
But the oppressive aura they felt earlier still lingered in their minds.
No one dared to speak up for Doflamingo.
running dog.
These two words left no room for interpretation.
Who is Doflamingo?
The young lord of the Donquixote Family.
Former Celestial Dragons.
King of Dressrosa.
The Shichibukai
A middleman in the Underworld codenamed "JOKER".
Wherever he went, people feared him.
Even the Navy and the World Government have to be wary of the secrets he possesses.
But what Uchiha Xin wanted was not allies.
It's not a collaboration.
It's not a dog that obeys commands.
Doflamingo kept his head down.
The fingers slowly tightened.
He would never have accepted such humiliation in the past.
Even when facing Kaido, he only maintained a cooperative relationship based on mutual benefit.
Both parties traded Artificial Devil Fruit, each getting what they wanted.
He never knelt.
He also did not admit to being anyone's subordinate.
But now, he has no choice.
Refusing will kill you.
The entire Donquixote Family would also be buried with him.
Uchiha Xin just released his aura, which rendered everyone incapable of resisting.
If a real fight breaks out, this ship won't last a single breath.
Red-Haired Shanks has proven that dignity cannot withstand Uchiha Xin's fist.
Doflamingo slowly withdrew his right hand.
His other leg followed suit and he knelt down.
Both knees landed on the broken deck at the same time.
Then he lowered his head.
His forehead almost touched the deck.
"From this day forward, Doflamingo is willing to become Thunder Emperor Emperor's henchman."
"Your order is the highest order of the Donquixote Family."
"Whether you want me to deal with the Navy, pirates, the World Government, or any force in the Underworld, I will do it for you."
Diamante's pupils constricted.
"Young Master..."
Doflamingo did not look up.
"Shut up."
Diamante's next words were cut off.
Doflamingo has made his decision.
He set aside his former Celestial Dragons pride.
He also relinquished his status Shichibukai and as a king.
You have everything as long as you're alive.
Moreover, the one to whom they submit is a monster capable of slaying the Four Emperors.
This ocean will be reshuffled sooner or later.
Following those who are stronger isn't necessarily all bad.
Uchiha Xin accepted his kneeling without hesitation.
"Very good."
"However, your strength is too weak."
Doflamingo did not refute.
He used to be close to the rank of Marine Admiral.
Compared to ordinary strong individuals, they can naturally be considered top-tier.
But when facing Uchiha Xin, he couldn't even stand up.
With such strength, there is indeed no right to refute it.
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
A beam of blue light shot out from the palm of his hand.
Doflamingo could see it clearly.
He didn't dodge.
The blue light instantly entered between his eyebrows.
boom!
A surge of power exploded within him.
Doflamingo's body tensed up abruptly.
The previously dormant String-String Fruit began to operate on its own.
His physical strength, Haki, and Devil Fruit power all surged simultaneously.
He had already completed the Devil Fruit Awakening.
The surrounding objects can be transformed into threads at will.
But at this moment, the Devil Fruit Awakening has taken another step forward.
Countless fine lines unfolded from beneath his feet.
The damaged deck, mast, and hull were all reduced to threads.
Every thread is stronger than before.
Doflamingo raised his right hand.
Armament Haki instantly covered his five fingers.
A dark, Haki spread upwards along his arm, its intensity continuously increasing.
Double.
double.
three times!
Armament Haki used to require all-out effort to maintain, can now be covered with just a thought.
The Observation Haki was also spreading outwards.
ocean current.
wind direction.
The breathing of everyone on the ship.
The movements of the Thunder Emperor Corps members on the large ship in the distance.
All the changes became clear.
A surge of Conqueror's Haki rose from within him.
Just as the black and red lightning was about to explode, Doflamingo immediately withdrew it.
He dared not unleash his full power in front of Uchiha Xin.
After a few breaths, the surging power finally stabilized.
Doflamingo clenched his fist.
He could clearly feel that he had crossed that boundary that he could never cross.
Admiral level.
True Admiral- level combat power.
Moreover, his Armament Haki is three times stronger than before.
Diamante propped herself up to stand up.
"Young Master, your aura..."
Pica also kept his eyes on Doflamingo.
"It's so much better than before."
Doflamingo ignored them.
He looked at Uchiha Xin, his awe deepening once more.
Marine Admiral requires years of training.
Devil Fruit Awakening requires going through countless battles.
Uchiha Xin only needed to unleash a single blue light to achieve a leap in his strength.
This is a skill that ordinary powerful individuals cannot possess.
Doflamingo bowed his head again.
"Thank you, Master, for granting me strength."
Just then, he felt a slight burning sensation between his eyebrows.
A pale blue line slowly emerged.
The three Tomoe are connected end to end.
The pale blue fluorescence flowed along the patterns before finally settling completely.
The Mark of the Divine Servant.
The mark, relying on Uchiha Xin's Power of the Extreme Path, can provide the holder with a boost to combat strength.
It is different from the Divine Servant Brand that acts on the soul.
The Divine Servant Brand can bind absolute loyalty.
Even if his family members die and their souls are destroyed, Uchiha Xin can bear the cost and revive them.
The Mark of the Divine Servant will not be permanently fused.
Doflamingo's current Admiral- level power all comes from the mark.
The power will weaken if you are too far away from Uchiha Xin.
If Uchiha Xin were to withdraw his mark, he would revert to his original level.
Moreover, the Mark of the Divine Servant will continuously store and absorb all of his power.
Haki.
physique.
Devil Fruit Ability.
All gains from cultivation will be marked and recorded.
Once separated, Doflamingo would lose everything and become a cripple.
He was completely unaware of this.
Furthermore, the influence of the Mark of the Divine Servant on thought cannot be detected.
As time goes on, he will only become more and more loyal.
Uchiha Xin's place in his heart will continue to rise.
From the strong.
To the owner.
Ultimately, they became an irresistible deity.
Uchiha Xin glanced at the mark between his eyebrows.
"From now on, you will be responsible for providing Perona with information about the Underworld."
Doflamingo immediately agreed.
"Yes, sir."
"Any intelligence that the Underworld can find will be delivered to Lady Perona immediately."
Uchiha Xin nodded.
Doflamingo's greatest value lies here.
As for his Haki and the String-String Fruit, Uchiha Xin had no interest in them.
"Take your people and leave."
"Yes."
Doflamingo didn't ask any further questions.
He stood up and led Diamante and the others back to the Clippers.
He didn't look at baby-5 even once from beginning to end.
The Clippers quickly changed direction.
Uchiha Xin also returned to the large ship with fourteen women and Baby-5.
The Thunder Emperor Corps members took over the remaining women.
