"Bird Cage!"
A giant cage made of razor-sharp strings suddenly trapped the entire island of Dressrosa. Anyone who dared to touch it would be sliced to ribbons.
The fleeing crowds were terrified. No matter what they tried - swords, cannons - nothing could even scratch the deadly threads.
Then, Doflamingo's image popped up on screens all over Dressrosa, broadcasting a ssage live to the terrified citizens.
"People of Dressrosa, I should have ruled you with fear from the start! Now you know the truth, and I'm sure many of you want dead!"
"So, I've made a ga where you can try to kill . I'll be waiting in the Royal Palace, not hiding, not running. If you kill , the ga ends!"
"But here's the catch: the Bird Cage will keep shrinking, killing everyone in its path!"
"However," Doflamingo added with a twisted smile, "there is another way to end this little ga."
Doflamingo then announced his bounty hunt. His evil plan was simple: to drag anyone who wasn't already on his side into his twisted ga.
And the Marines? They were now the targets!
Roya stood by, patiently waiting for Doflamingo's twisted speech to end. It wasn't that he didn't want to jump in and stop the madness, but soone was stubbornly blocking his path.
It was Pica, one of Doflamingo's top executives!
Even though stone was like soft tofu to Roya, taking down Pica ant first finding his real body, which was hidden sowhere within the rock. It was proving to be a real pain.
And then there was Doflamingo's ridiculous ga itself...
Looking at the chaos unfolding around him, Roya couldn't help but scoff.
"Doflamingo," he called out, "you're one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Shouldn't you be showing off your kingly power, crushing all resistance? Is this childish ga the best you can do?"
"Can't you show a little ambition for once!"
The smile on Doflamingo's face vanished. His expression turned dark and nacing.
This Black Hair ... why does he have to be so annoying!
"Oh, and that sissy over there, I'm talking about you!"
Roya turned his gaze towards Pica, his eyes filled with disdain. "Get out of my way. I'm here for your boss, not to waste ti on trash like you."
Trash. Sissy.
Pica let out a bloodcurdling screech, his face contorted with rage.
"I'll kill you!"
"Octopus Stone!"
The ground trembled. Suddenly, huge rocks around Roya shot up like tentacles, lunging towards him!
"This is just..."
Roya kept his left hand casually in his pocket. With a flick of his right hand, he created powerful vacuum blades that effortlessly sliced through the incoming rock tentacles.
"What?!"
Pica's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected his attack to be so easily brushed aside.
"Hey!"
In a flash, Roya appeared right in front of him!
Almost without thinking, Pica rged into the surrounding rock, moving his real body to safety inside the Royal Palace. But Roya's fist didn't stop; it ca crashing down with incredible force.
"Crushing Impact!"
The fist slamd into Pica's temporary body, turning it to dust. But the power didn't stop there. It continued downwards, shaking the entire Royal Palace!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Royal Palace trembled violently three tis in a row!
"Gah!"
Hidden within the rock walls of the Royal Palace, Pica felt like he'd been struck by lightning. His eyes rolled back, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Black Hair!"
A pained scream echoed through the palace. Black Hair wasn't just attacking his rock clones; he was using the entire Royal Palace as his target!
Roya pulled back his fist, his cold eyes fixed on Doflamingo, who was standing a short distance away.
"You're next, Doflamingo!"
"Fufufufu, what a ferocious beast you are!"
Doflamingo spread his fingers wide, a sinister smile on his face.
Invisible threads dropped from the sky, aiming for the back of Roya's neck, trying to take control.
"Such pathetic tricks."
Roya slightly tilted his body, easily dodging the threads' attempt to control him. At the sa ti, he moved towards Doflamingo with incredible speed. A fist, coated in powerful Haki, slamd into Doflamingo's face!
"Don't try to embarrass yourself with such weak attacks!"
"Gah!"
Doflamingo's cheek twisted in pain. His body flew backwards uncontrollably, crashing into the wall behind him with a deafening boom.
The next mont, the ruined building was sliced apart and then exploded by Doflamingo's threads.
Doflamingo erged from the wreckage, raising his hand to wipe away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He glared at the approaching Black Hair, the veins on his forehead pulsing with anger.
He'd been too careless!
Black Hair's strength is truly sothing!
"Leg Shave String!"
Doflamingo instantly appeared beside Roya. His right leg, wrapped in Haki and razor-sharp threads, shot out towards Roya's head!
Roya raised his arm, covering it in Haki.
"Clang!"
The sound of their Haki colliding was deafening!
With a sharp "crack," the wall and decorative trees behind Roya were sliced into neat pieces, as if cut by a razor.
The opponent's kick is infused with threads, aning it has both the direct force of the kick and the secondary attack of thread slashes. So, he uses thread slashes?
"Fufufufu!"
Doflamingo laughed coldly, putting more strength into his attacks as he extended his palm towards Roya!
"Fallen Ruffian String!"
Five sharp threads shot down from the sky!
Roya's eyes narrowed. He leaped backwards, quickly dodging the threads' attack. He knew that if he were hit, even with Haki protecting him, the sharp threads could pierce his defense.
Attacking a single point is the best way to break through an enemy's defense.
"Bullet String!"
With no ti to think, thread tips shot out like bullets, each one far more powerful than an ordinary gunshot.
"Paper Drawing: Tango Solo!"
Roya swayed his body, gracefully dodging the thread bullets. His movents were like a dance as he elegantly closed the distance to Doflamingo.
"You can't hit !"
Doflamingo's brow furrowed in frustration. Watching Roya getting closer and closer, he quickly changed tactics. He reached his palm behind him and fired hundreds of threads, condensing them into a thick Thread Pillar.
His right hand then snapped forward, striking out at Roya!
"Super String Whip!"
"Hmm?"
Roya's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the sweeping Thread Pillar. This attack was much faster and more powerful than before.
"Shave!"
His feet moved rapidly, propelling him tens of ters into the air.
The next second, the string whip swept past below him!
"Boom!"
Half of the Royal Palace's roof was sliced off, crashing to the ground below.
"Fufufufu!"
Doflamingo stepped onto the threads, rushing towards Roya.
This is my plan: to force Black Hair into the sky.
The sky is my ho field!
Roya coldly stared at Doflamingo, unafraid to fight in the air. He was also a master of aerial combat.
"Die, Black Hair!"
Using the threads spread across the sky, Doflamingo moved with incredible speed and agility, appearing behind Roya in the blink of an eye.
"Swish!"
A cold light flashed as sharp threads slashed across Roya's neck!
But the body that should have been cut apart turned into bubbles and disappeared.
"An afterimage?"
Doflamingo's eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, a hand grabbed his face!
"Paper Drawing: Illusionary Afterimage!"
Roya appeared beside Doflamingo, his right hand pinching Doflamingo's face with brutal force. The muscles in his arm bulged with the effort.
The stronger you are, the less you rely on sight. It's nearly impossible to keep up with an opponent in battle using only your eyes.
Therefore, the strong rely more on their perception, using Observation Haki to lock onto their opponents.
By briefly stopping my Haki while hiding my presence, I can confuse him. The stronger his perception, the easier it is to trick him, even creating the illusion of an afterimage.
"Doflamingo."
Roya gripped Doflamingo's head tightly, his right arm muscles expanding violently, all the power in his body focused on that one arm!
"Crack!"
Lightning-like Haki exploded outwards!
"You're too weak to stand in the sky!"
Roya roared, violently throwing Doflamingo down towards the Royal Palace below!
"Abyssal Fall!"
A streak of light flashed and vanished!
"Boom boom boom!"
Accompanied by a series of earth-shattering explosions, the Royal Palace collapsed layer by layer, all the way down to the very bottom.
"Boom!"
King's Plateau shook violently as massive clouds of dust billowed into the sky!
