Boom——
A series of consecutive rock-shattering sounds ca, yet there was still no surprise, as they failed to block those slashing waves.
Imdiately after, those slashing waves landed squarely on the giant stone golem.
The stone golem shattered with a crash, turning into countless fragnts that tumbled down, and Pica also revealed his body from within one of the rocks.
"Damn it!!"
Pica cursed again, sharply raising his head to see who was attacking them, only for his pupils to suddenly widen in the next second.
For he did not see any figure, only an extrely dazzling gleam of a blade.
Rip!!
A line of blood erupted across Pica's chest, blood gushing out as if it were free.
Pica let out a shriek, his body bending into an arch like a cooked shrimp.
His body plumted straight down.
"Pica!!"
Diamante shouted loudly.
The long sword in his hand suddenly flicked, extending like a light, supple silk ribbon, catching the falling Pica and reeling him in.
However, when he pulled Pica before him and saw his current state, his pupils contracted violently several tis.
A wound that almost spanned his entire upper body was visible on Pica, deep enough to show bone, even his innards were exposed.
"Pica!! Pica, how are you?!!"
Diamante shouted, a tremor in his voice.
Pica was now breathing faintly, even lifting his eyelids felt like a struggle, using all his strength to look at Diamante.
"I, I..."
He desperately tried to say sothing, but it was ultimately futile, his last breath dissipated, the light in his eyes rapidly faded, and the vitality in his body quickly vanished.
Diamante stared blankly at this scene, slightly dazed.
His relationship with Pica was very good, after all, they were among the earliest who had followed Doflamingo.
Now suddenly seeing his companion of many years die before his eyes, the impact on him was undoubtedly imnse.
"No need to rush your grief, you'll be joining him very soon!"
Suddenly, a cold and unfamiliar voice sounded in Diamante's ear, making his body stiffen abruptly, instinctively slashing behind him.
But this slash hit nothing but air, imdiately followed by a feeling of sudden lightness in his arm, then intense pain.
"Ah!!"
Diamante scread in agony, staggering back several steps, looking down to see his right arm was gone, countless streams of blood gushing from the stump.
Diamante's face was full of pain, but he still strained to look up ahead, his eyes eting a figure completely shrouded in black robes, the pair of eyes beneath the tiger mask making him shiver with fear.
"Who are you?!"
Diamante forced down the pain and asked in a trembling voice.
Yet Kyle had not the slightest intention of answering him, even thinking Diamante might have a few screws loose.
Dressed like this, did he look like soone willing to let you know who he was?
Without the slightest hesitation, Kyle took a step forward, instantly arriving before Diamante.
His attack settings had always prioritized the target with the lowest health.
However, just as he reached Diamante, he suddenly felt a sharp pain behind him.
Almost in an instant, Kyle withdrew the sword he was swinging at Diamante, using his other hand to grab him instead, then hurled him behind.
Rip!!
The sound of flesh tearing echoed along with Diamante's cry of pain.
Kyle slowly turned around, looking at Doflamingo not far away and letting out a laugh.
"Doflamingo, when it cos to striking your own teammates, you certainly don't hold back!"
Diamante lay on the ground, covered in countless wounds cut by Doflamingo's ability.
His eyes were tightly shut, his chest heaving continuously as he gasped for breath heavily.
"Bastard!!"
Doflamingo's face was extrely gloomy. He hadn't expected Kyle to be so shaless, lacking any semblance of a strong man's deanor, actually throwing Diamante out as a shield.
Normally, shouldn't he have dodged, abandoning the attack on Diamante?
"Sir, I have no grudge against you, do I? Why attack us?"
Even with Pica killed and Diamante severely injured, Doflamingo forcibly suppressed his rage, attempting to negotiate with Kyle.
Because the strength Kyle had just displayed made him lack confidence in being a match for Kyle, even with the people behind him.
Yet this conduct only made Kyle despise him even more.
On the surface, he always said the top executives of the Donquixote Family were the earliest who had followed him, like family to him.
But his actions didn't seem like treating them as family.
In the original story, Vergo had done so much for him diligently, yet in the end, he only said, "You've worked hard all these years!"
What use was saying that? Better to just go fight directly; if he couldn't win himself, call reinforcents. With the interests at stake, would he fear insufficient support?
Though at that ti, Doflamingo hadn't taken the alliance of Luffy and Law seriously.
"How do you know we have no grudge? Doflamingo!! The people you've offended, your enemies, are they few?"
"I have indeed offended many people, but I am certain none among them possess strength like yours!!"
Doflamingo said gravely.
He considered himself a smart man; he never provoked those with powerful strength, precisely fearing they would co directly for him.
That's why he was puzzled by Kyle's attack now.
"Hah~"
"Your words are quite laughable. Couldn't it be that when you offended , my strength wasn't great, and I only beca stronger in the ti since?"
"What, you think everyone is as much of a waste as you? After so many years, your strength is still only at this level?"
"Enough, I've said enough nonsense. It wouldn't be good to keep your family waiting too long for you down below!"
As he finished speaking, Kyle swung his blade without warning, a pale blue blade arc surging toward Doflamingo, radiating a terrifying aura.
Doflamingo's face changed drastically, his arms constantly moving.
Ten nearly invisible white threads arrayed before him, trying to block Kyle's slashing wave.
But this was clearly impossible!
The slashing wave severed these threads the mont it touched them, its offensive montum almost entirely unaffected.
!!
Under Doflamingo's wide-eyed, furious gaze, this slashing wave ultimately landed squarely on him.
Similarly, a line of blood erupted, and Doflamingo's body was imdiately sent flying backward, vomiting a large mouthful of blood mid-air.
Kyle was about to pursue, but suddenly seed to sense sothing, his body slightly sidestepping to avoid the incoming unidentified object.
Glancing aside, it was a puddle of blue sli, looking inexplicably unsettling.
Kyle slightly turned his head, looking towards Trebol on the other side, and when Kyle's gaze fell upon him, Trebol's body instinctively retreated two steps, his throat bobbing slightly.
"You... don't you co any closer!!"
"Don't want to? Too bad!"
