Lance kept using the Ishi Ishi no Mi (Stone-Stone Fruit) to drain Doflamingo's stamina. And when he got tired, he simply swapped out with an IBM—instantly restoring all the energy he had spent!
To him, stamina was now a aningless concept.
If he wanted, he could just use the Stone-Stone Fruit endlessly until Doflamingo collapsed.
"Fufufufu…"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Doflamingo suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
"Carrying out my execution, is it?"
"Do you have any idea who I used to be? I was a god—above everyone!"
"And you think you're worthy of judging a god?"
Doflamingo roared.
Beyond being the King of Dressrosa, one of the Shichibukai, and the underworld broker Joker—Doflamingo's origins were that of a World Noble, a Tenryūbito.
The Celestial Dragons called themselves the descendants of gods, wielding absolute power over life and death. Even if Doflamingo had fallen from grace, he still carried the bloodline of the Tenryūbito. That alone made the Navy tread carefully, unwilling to act without cause. It was how he dominated the entire underworld of the New World.
"Whether I'm worthy or not… isn't for you to decide."
"If that was your final statent, Doflamingo… what a pitiful last word."
Lance's eyes flashed as he extended a hand, conjuring a Western-style longsword.
"Country bumpkin… you're the first to push this far, and you'll be the last!"
Kagekisen (Shadow Rider Thread)!
With a cruel grin, Doflamingo's fingers danced. Threads shot out and rapidly wove together midair, forming a tightly knit puppet that looked exactly like him.
"Because of you, all of Dressrosa has fallen into ruin. You know what hell looks like? I'll show you today—fufufufufu…"
Doflamingo laughed madly. The puppet beside him lifted its head to the sky, then erupted, spewing thousands of threads upward like a volcano.
Tori Kago (Birdcage)!
Countless invisible threads shot into the sky before raining down like teors. They connected from the sky to the ground, weaving into a vast do-like birdcage around the island.
It was one of Doflamingo's most powerful techniques. These ultra-durable threads required great effort even for an Admiral to break. His intent was clear—he was dragging the entire nation into the grave with Lance, turning all of Dressrosa into hell!
"You think I'm stupid? Just going to stand here while you finish your move?"
Lance's voice was cold.
As he spoke, he was already charging forward.
He wasn't the type to stand and watch while soone powered up a technique and scream helplessly. His killing intent had been triggered—he would never let Doflamingo struggle or fight back now.
"Kuro, Kuro Two, Kuro Three—go, finish him."
All three IBM responded and lunged straight at Doflamingo.
"You want to kill ?"
"I'm Donquixote Doflamingo! You think I'd lose to a backwater brat like you?!"
"I'm a god's descendant! I'll show you what divine power looks like!"
Veins popped along Doflamingo's head as he poured everything into his last gamble. More buildings far off turned into thread and converged, forming 16 massive waves of Busōshoku-coated (Armant) thread.
These dense black-thread waves rose from the ground, sharp and deadly, like enormous strands of hair aid at Lance and his IBMs.
16 Sacred Bullets: Divine Execution!
Doflamingo bet it all—he would kill Lance here and now, no matter what.
"That's… admittedly terrifying power."
Lance glanced up at the oncoming tide of deadly thread.
"But no matter how powerful you are—even if your strength surpasses the gods—it won't change one thing: you're going to die."
Shlick!
As he finished speaking, Lance drove his sword directly into Doflamingo's heart.
At the sa ti, the three IBM closed in, slashing at him with long, sharp claws.
Blood sprayed like a fountain—Doflamingo's entire body was shredded, wounds so severe that no one, not even a god, could have survived.
"If I die… you die too!"
Even then, Doflamingo's bloodlust didn't waver. With his last ounce of strength, he unleashed the 16 thread waves to strangle Lance and his IBM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ground exploded as the waves crashed down, gouging massive craters and shaking the battlefield, throwing dust high into the air and masking everything from view.
Everyone stared at the battlefield, holding their breath, waiting for the result.
"Did he… win?"
Cavendish swallowed nervously, eyes fixed on the dust.
"Boss couldn't have lost!" Senor Pink bit down on his pacifier, bracing himself.
"God… please bless Dressrosa… deliver your people from the darkness…" Violet prayed with all her heart.
The battlefield fell into total silence.
When the dust finally settled, the first thing they saw was Lance's body, pierced through by the thread waves.
But then they saw sothing even more terrifying: Doflamingo's corpse—battered, broken, beyond recognition.
Everything was clear now.
Doflamingo and that man-eating monster… had perished together.
No cheers. No triumphant shouts.
Only the quiet unraveling of the birdcage threads disappearing into the sky—fading alongside the last breath of Doflamingo.
But then, sothing horrifying happened—
The three humanoid, bandage-wrapped monsters reappeared.
They walked over to Doflamingo's corpse…
And opened their bandaged maws.
And began to devour his flesh.
