Chapter 164
Everyone else has been affected by Conqueror's Haki, and even you can't stand up anymore, so why are you still so calm?
"Doffy,"
Vergo nodded calmly. "Do I need to fake some kind of injury?"
"Fufufufu,"
Naito nodded in satisfaction. Putting everything else aside, Doflamingo's subordinates were indeed extremely loyal.
They're all out of their minds, actually thinking that someone like Doflamingo could become the Pirate King.
"If you're going to pretend, then pretend it's real. I'll take you to a nearby island, and you'll pretend you're seriously injured and drifted there, then contact Marine Headquarters."
"Clear."
Vergo replied.
Doffy's considerations were indeed very thorough.
Based on his own strength, it would indeed be difficult for him to escape unscathed from facing World and his gang.
It's rather suspicious that they immediately contacted headquarters.
It's more reasonable to say that someone survived by sheer luck, having narrowly escaped death.
"Vergo..."
Reno stared blankly at Vergo. "What do you mean by this?"
"I'm sorry, Reno,"
Vergo adjusted his small sunglasses. "The Vergo you see as a navy person has never existed in the first place."
"Are you kidding me...?"
Reno's pupils trembled violently; the reality was far too cruel, almost driving him to the brink of collapse.
The colleague of the person I've always trusted turns out to be a spy sent by a treacherous pirate?
And now this guy is even helping Doflamingo cover up the upcoming massacre!
"Vergo!"
The surge of rage even briefly restored Reno's mobility, and he practically lunged directly at Vergo.
But Naito simply flicked his right hand, and invisible threads swept across Reno's chest like sharp blades.
Puff.
His weakened body couldn't even muster any domineering Haki; his chest was instantly ripped open by the silk threads, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Forehead..."
Reno collapsed to the ground, powerless, but his eyes remained fixed on Vergo and Naito. "This won't end like this, Vergo, Doflamingo. One day, someone will uncover the truth and make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
Naito smirked.
Don't worry, Rear Admiral Reino, what I'm doing right now is exactly what you said.
He reached out and grabbed Vergo's shoulder, then flew up directly on the silk threads.
To be honest, Doflamingo's method of flying is quite interesting. Although it's a bit inefficient, it's not bad to try it once in a while.
"Super Strike Whip"
Naito flicked his right hand, and a large number of silk threads spread out from his palm, eventually converging into a long whip.
With just a casual flick of the whip, the massive warship below was split in two.
Naito swung the ship a few times, and it was reduced to pieces.
The wrecked ship, along with everything on board, began to sink rapidly.
Vergo nodded slightly.
In that case, all the evidence will sink to the bottom of the sea.
So what exactly happened here can only be determined by his word.
Naito, carrying Vergo, took to the air and quickly disappeared into the sky.
On the sea below, Rear Admiral Reino clung desperately to a piece of wood to prevent himself from sinking too quickly.
But the powerful eddies created by the sinking of the massive ship made it impossible for him, who was severely injured, to escape.
At this moment, he actually envied the soldiers who had long since lost consciousness.
At least they don't have to endure the pain of being betrayed by their colleagues, or the helplessness of slowly waiting for death.
But at that moment, Reno suddenly noticed a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) on another wooden board nearby, which had inexplicably appeared there.
A brilliant light flashed in Reno's eyes.
Doflamingo, Vergo, your end is nigh!!
Despite his severe injuries, Reno unleashed astonishing strength. He struggled desperately to the surface and swam over, grabbing the Den Den Mushi as if it were a glimmer of hope!
In the sky not far away, Naito smiled with satisfaction.
All the best.
"Doffy?"
Vergo, who was being held in his hand, looked up in surprise. "Why did you stop?"
Naito's smile widened.
"Because this is the best you can do."
Chapter 114 Target: Dressrosa
Vergo's face clearly showed his bewilderment.
What do you mean by "this is all I can do"?
"Doffy, what are you talking about?"
"It seems you don't know Doflamingo as well as I thought, Mr. Vergo."
Naito still respected Vergo quite a bit; he vaguely remembered that the guy always emphasized to others that he should be addressed as Mr. Vergo.
"Or perhaps my acting was really good enough that even someone like you, who's been following Doflamingo around since childhood, didn't notice anything amiss?"
What does this mean?
Vergo's face gradually stiffened, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
No wonder!
No wonder they suddenly appeared and killed everyone on the ship without any prior notice!
Because it's all fake!
He is not Doffy-
Shigan!
In the next instant, without any hesitation, Vergo's right hand turned completely black, and his raised index finger suddenly stabbed towards Doflamingo's chest.
"Ugh!!"
A piercing scream instantly erupted from Vergo's mouth.
His once Haki right arm was now twisted like a pretzel, with blood gushing from its pores.
"Reno should have already reported the news to Marine Headquarters,"
Naito said calmly, "The fleet sent to capture Doflamingo will depart soon."
"And you, Vergo, originally wanted to contact headquarters to cover this up, but finding that Doflamingo had already fallen, you chose to disappear. What do you think of this ending?"
"Aaaaaah!!"
Vergo roared angrily.
He cannot die.
Doffy knows nothing yet; if he dies here, the Donquixote Family will be utterly finished!
A dark, Haki instantly enveloped his entire body, his bulging muscles almost tearing his clothes apart.
"Oh, full-body Armament Haki."
Naito smiled with interest.
There was a time when full-body Armament Haki was widely considered a technique that only masters of Armament Haki could perform.
But I later found out it was just a roadside stall.
The amount of Haki is limited; true masters rely on prediction.
"Bullet String."
Naito flicked his finger, and the ball of silk thread, Coating in Haki, shot out like a bullet.
"Forehead..."
Vergo, who was going berserk, suddenly trembled.
His chest had been pierced by a bullet with silk threads, leaving a huge hole.
Such terrifying Haki, such terrifying power...
Vergo looked stunned.
He's stronger than Doffy —no, much stronger than Doffy!
With the same skill and technique, Doffy could never achieve this level of ability!
Who exactly is he? And why would he do such a thing?
If he wanted to do anything to Doffy, wouldn't he just take action directly?
Unless, he has some reason why he cannot do it himself!
Oh no, oh no, Doffy! The Donquixote Family has been targeted by an extremely dangerous individual!
Vergo's body fell downwards.
You must be very careful, Doffy!
Naito calmly watched Vergo plummet towards the sea below, then, after a moment's thought, he lightly snapped his fingers with his right hand.
The lava ball appeared out of thin air and swallowed Vergo whole.
Naito lingered in the sky for a few more seconds until he was sure the energy inside the lava sphere had completely disappeared before deactivating his ability.
Then, Doflamingo and the giant lava ball in the sky disappeared simultaneously.
Vergo also vanished; that man was truly left without a trace.
Almost simultaneously.
