One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 234 Three Calamities Perish, Iron Rod Shatters the Sky!
"What...what is this?!"

Inside the trembling arena, the commentator Gaz's voice could be heard intermittently.

This top commentator from the bullfighting arena was clearly also very confused and fearful at this moment.

The 'commentary platform' he was on was almost collapsing due to the tremors, but he was still suspended in the air, unable to escape, due to Doflamingo's power.

His professional expertise as a commentator allowed him to fulfill his duties at this moment.

"A powerful attack, from an attacker outside the three contestants—wait! That's...that's..."

Halfway through his speech, his voice suddenly became shrill, and he almost dropped the microphone from his hand.

"It's plague and drought. The two great guardians of the beasts..."

His words reflected the facts shown on the live stream.

On the gladiatorial arena.

The two bone spears pierced through the area.

Quinn and Jack, who were already enormous, were the first to be revealed.

Quinn's bloated, obese body was nailed to the ground.

Even his modified mechanical body, with its terrifyingly strong vitality, was completely disintegrated in the face of that attack—his arm and head were completely separated, and his bulky body was pierced through the middle.

And so is Jack's tough mammoth body.

His body was cut in half.

Clearly, even for physically powerful fish-men and ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, this would be a fatal injury.

Yes.

Two of the three calamities were instantly killed without even putting up a proper fight.

They are all strong, and normally, even when facing beings of the Four Emperors level, they would not be instantly killed in battle.

But it's clear that this is not the 'normal situation'.

"."

At this moment, let alone the audience.

Even Marco, who was giving simple treatment to the people outside the arena, suddenly stood up.

He frowned and looked at the three figures displayed on the screen.

And the markings on their bodies.

"That mark—Dad mentioned it; it's from a group that used to frequently attack Roger and his crew."

His eyes also reflected a sense of solemnity.

"I remember it was called...The Knights of God?"

As Marco said.

At this moment, among the three figures in the sky.

The one on the left, wearing black armor and surrounded by a blood mist, is Thatcherz M. Pierre Saint.

The one on the right, dressed in white armor and wielding a trident, resembles a Qilin—that is Saint Limosiever Chiringom.

Besides these two old friends of Roy.

Standing in the middle of them was a middle-aged man who also wore a bubble hood and God Knight armor.

At this moment, a faint light was emanating from his hands.

He was casually flicking the light, and within the light, scenes seemed to flash by.

As he moved, the camera Den Den Mushi throughout the arena also rotated continuously.

"Hey, Peel, what are you doing?"

His voice was clearly the same as the voice that had been used to count down earlier.

"I know you're upset because you lost to that Navy bug, but that wasn't my fault."

He looked at Quinn and Jack's corpses with a regretful expression.

“I told you, collecting the actors’ precious corpses is my hobby—you don’t need to do it, just leave it to my partner, Chiringom.”

"Let's leave that merman corpse aside, since I already have several excellent merman actors in my collection."

"But that cyborg actor's corpse is very rare, and now you've destroyed it like this, it's completely worthless as a collectible. How are you going to compensate me?"

He complained like that.

Hearing his words, especially after he mentioned Roy, Pierre Saint's face turned ugly: "Fabian, don't mention that person or the insect's corpse in front of me. I don't think it's worth collecting."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the man named 'Fabian Saint' became even more displeased.

"Are you questioning me? Questioning the taste of the most outstanding 'theatre master' of the Jaygolusia family?"

I didn't mean that.

"Humph."

Seeing that Pierre Saint had given in, Fabian Saint snorted coldly.

“Chiringom, my partner, Peel, that new guy, is definitely unreliable. This last one will have to be handled by you—”

"Be careful when you do it, he's very precious."

At this point, he also looked down.

Above the billowing smoke and the bodies of the two victims, there was another figure.

That's 'Ember'.

His helmet was shattered, revealing the iconic white hair and brown skin of the Lunaria race, as well as the tattoo on his left eye.

The flames behind his head had now reignited.

The sharp, white bone spear was stopped right at his heart—it failed to pierce his body.

"The Lunaria race... they actually still exist."

Fabian Saint stared in fascination at the flames behind Jin's head.

"This is the first time I've ever seen it—it's truly beautiful."

He looked at Jin's body as if it were a work of art: "Once your filthy, insect-like soul is wiped away, your corpse will be my most perfect collection, the 'leading actor' my stage play needs most."

While he was speaking.

"."

Jin's gaze was fixed on the unique markings on the three of them.

Those are marks preserved in the legends of the Lunaria people, enough to prove their identity.

"God's Knight!"

As Kaido's confidant, and as the last descendant of a clan nearly wiped out by the World Government.

The man codenamed 'Jin', whose real name is Abel, naturally knew of the existence of the God Knights.

At this moment, there was no time to mourn the two dead; an unprecedented sense of crisis had arisen in his heart.

He knew, of course, what would happen to him if he, as a member of the Lunaria race, were captured by these guys!
But
"Although I can ignite flames, I still can't move!"

This is the heaviest thing in Jin's heart.

Even with his physique and abilities, he could only manipulate the innate racial talent of the Lunaria race to ignite the flames behind his head to block the opponent's attack.

Besides that, he couldn't move his body at all—even if he wanted to resist, he had absolutely no chance.

But it was precisely at this moment
"You want to rebel? Well, since it's a precious Lunaria artifact, I'll give you a 'chance' to rebel."

Fabian Saint seemed to have noticed Jhin's movements.

He grinned, revealing a malicious smile.

next moment.
"Um!?"

To Jin's surprise, he discovered that his body could move again.

"You're just relying on sneak attacks."

A surge of humiliation and rage instantly rose within Jin—what did this despicable guy take him for?!
And in anger.

The flames behind Jin's head burned even more fiercely.

"Yu Shou·Fire Dragon Emperor!"

He growled and drew his long katana without hesitation.

Flames covered the blade as he swung his longsword, and a huge fire dragon flew out, heading straight for the surrounding camera Den Den Mushi!

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, Fabian Saint raised an eyebrow.

"They figured out so quickly that they were going to target my abilities—their reaction was fast."

He grinned.

The malice in that smile showed no sign of fading.

next moment.
"boom!"

The fire dragon unleashed by Jin instantly incinerated all the surrounding Den Den Mushi!
That's right—as the leader of the Three Calamities, Jhin's reaction was naturally swift.

He didn't know what the other person's abilities were.

But at this moment, he had already made a preliminary judgment on some things—the other party's abilities seemed to be operating through those camera Den Den Mushi.

"No, was that countdown before also an ability similar to Big Mom's 'soul spell'?"

While maintaining his sword-wielding stance, Jin silently analyzed the situation.

This is also the reason for his actions at this moment—no matter what the other party's abilities are, destroying those Den Den Mushi is obviously the right choice.

As long as he doesn't fall into the same immobile situation as before, he is confident that with his own strength, he can fight anyone, no matter who his opponent is!
"Ah, sorry."

But before Jin could finish his analysis...

The voice of Saint Chiringom was already coming from beside his ears.

"!!!"

Jin subconsciously turned around and saw that the latter's figure had already passed through a seven-colored dream barrier and appeared behind him.

Nightmare Cave - Dream Passage

"you."

Jin immediately gripped the longsword in his hand.

But
"!!!"

The next moment, Jin discovered that he was once again unable to move!
"What."

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and then he discovered...
The camera Den Den Mushi that he had just destroyed or even vaporized were now beginning to rebuild themselves piece by piece.

Their gazes remained fixed on the ashes.

Within the shimmering light in Fabian Saint's hand—the image of Jhin standing motionless in place was clearly frozen in time.

[First Shot - Fixed View] "Your judgment is correct—the Lunaria race."

Chiringom said so.

He gradually approached Jin and slowly extended his hand.

“The need to observe the stage is indeed a limitation of Fabian’s abilities—but Fabian and I are partners.”

"With me here, his abilities have no weaknesses. Our combination is invincible against those of you who have already stepped onto the 'stage'."

"Your defeat was destined the moment you arrived in this arena."

[Nightmare Cave · MMA · Dream Photography Den Den Mushi]

"Fire Weasel Protection!"

Seeing this, Jin didn't hesitate to burn the flames behind his head to their maximum intensity once again.

"bake!"

The scorching flames instantly enveloped his entire body.

That is the strongest means of self-defense for the Lunaria race.

By expending his physical strength, he pushes the flames to their limit, gaining a truly invincible body—anyone who tries to touch him at this moment will be burned by the flames.

"Hmm, the Lunaria race, one of the world's unbound races, is indeed troublesome."

Upon seeing this, Chiringom muttered something to himself.

"Fabian, I'm leaving it to you."

But at this moment, he simply said this while continuing to press his hand towards Jin!

"of course."

Fabian Saint smiled as well.

Then, he flicked the light in his hand again.

Within the light, scenes began to change.

Finally, the light stopped on one of the scenes.

That was at the very beginning of the battle—the moment when Jhin deliberately extinguished his own flames and rushed toward 'Caesar' at top speed.

"found it."

Fabian Saint clenched his fist.

That scene was instantly extracted from the light by him, and then
He pointed his hand at Jhin.

"Third shot - cut shot".

then
"bake!"

The next moment, Jin was horrified to discover that the flames on his body began to extinguish uncontrollably.

"No"

He didn't even have time to react.

A moment later, the Saint of Chiringom had already placed his hand on his head.

And so, an unprecedented drowsiness began to sweep over Jin's body.

He felt as if his soul was about to fall asleep at that moment.

"Nightmare Cave - Dream of Eternal Sleep".

Accompanied by the sound of Chiringom Saint.

"Kaido, Big Brother"

Jin's thoughts sank into the darkness.

His figure plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily into the dust and smoke below.

This is the end.

The entire arena fell into silence.

Too fast, too fast!
Although it was a sneak attack, in such a short time, the three great commanders that the Beasts Pirates were so proud of were defeated so easily?

"Hey, look at the hoods on their heads. Are they Celestial Dragons?"

"Are they government officials?"

"Are they here to capture Doflamingo?"

They were discussing it like this.

As citizens of member states of the World Government, they disliked the Celestial Dragons.

But under these circumstances, seeing representatives of the government appear naturally gave them some hope—could it be that the government had become aware of Doflamingo's evil deeds today, and therefore sent a powerful figure to arrest him?
But it was precisely at this time of such anticipation that...
"Hey! Donquixote's son—you're called Doflamingo, right?"

But they heard what Fabian Saint said to Doflamingo on the screen.

"You've done a great service this time—not only did you obtain the Lunaria clan's artifacts for me, but you also helped us deal with one of the Twelve Constellations. The orders have been issued, allowing you to return to the Holy Land!"

He said this to Doflamingo.

“Fufufufufu”

At that moment, Doflamingo revealed his usual arrogant smile: "Is that so? That's really good news."

Upon hearing this, the people below were completely bewildered.

To perform a great service? To return to the holy land?
what does that mean?
Those who didn't know Doflamingo's identity naturally couldn't understand these words.

However, they could at least understand what Fabian Saint said next.

"However, since you're already leaving the lower realm, the people of this country mean nothing to you anymore, right?"

He looked at Doflamingo: "I'm very satisfied with the 'show' you just designed—let it continue."

As he spoke, he glanced at the panicked crowd inside and outside the arena.

"Let your 'birdcage' shrink, and the insects' desperate screams and struggles are a show I never tire of watching."

As soon as these words came out.

The people who had previously held hope for the World Government now felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Wait, what does this guy mean?"

"Is he or she crazy?"

"He's in cahoots with Doflamingo!?"

"He's going to kill us all?!"

The entire arena erupted in noise once again.

And at this moment.
"咈咈咈咈."

Doflamingo was still smiling.

"Of course—I would do it even without you telling me."

He said so.

And it seems that what he said is true.

Amidst the gasps of surprise from the people.

The 'birdcage' that was constantly approaching from around the island was now moving even faster.

"you?"

But after hearing his words, Fabian Saint was somewhat dissatisfied: "I need to remind you, Doflamingo Saint—I am the 'Knight of God,' and even if you return to the Holy Land, you will only be an ordinary Celestial Dragon."

"Therefore, you should address me as 'you' (formal)."

He said proudly.

"Also, my collection just fell down there. Go and retrieve it for me, along with that Zodiac guy. I'm bringing them back to the Holy Land."

“If you do well, I can propose to the Five Elders that you become my ‘sword’.”

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's smile became even more exaggerated.

“Fufufufufu, of course no problem, Fabian Saint.”

"However, please allow me to remind 'you'."

He emphasized the last word very heavily.

"The battle isn't over yet."

"Ok?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fabian Saint was taken aback.

next moment.
"Zi!"

From the smoke and dust below, the black gold staff flew out with a roar.

On the long staff, black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning surged, and the power it carried seemed to distort the surrounding space.

The long staff swept across and smashed Fabian Saint's head to pieces!

But a moment later.
"Buzz!"

The power of the Deep Sea Pact is activated.

Fabian Saint's head regenerated in an instant.

"what!"

Only now did he clutch his head and cry out in pain—the Conqueror's Haki that had enveloped him just now, while not enough to directly dispel the power of the 'Deep Sea Contract' on his body, was enough to make him feel 'pain'.

He gritted his teeth and looked down with his two companions.

At this moment
"Buzz!"

The black gold staff had already flown back.

"clang!"

It fell into the hands of a figure.

At that moment, the figure floated up from the smoke and dust.

"call"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

then
"boom!"

The thick dust around him dissipated with that casual exhale.

"So, just like the flamingo said, there are only three?"

He slung the golden cudgel diagonally over his shoulder, picked at his ear, and casually blew on it.

The golden eyes looked at the three of them, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Unfortunately—there's still too little."

"Not enough for me to fight."
