However, the key point is that they weren't the only ones who went to Punk Hazard this time.

Think about it yourself. Among the maritime forces you've provoked, besides the Four Emperors' pirate crews, whose power is enough for me to choose to abandon you?

Chapter 586 Former General and Current General

Although Caesar didn't directly reveal the other party's name, the conversation had already gone this far, and even if Doflamingo were stupid, he would know who Caesar's new partner was.

"So that's how it is. It was that bastard Wood. With Aokiji and this incident, it seems that this guy has been planning quite a bit to completely eliminate me."

So, Monet, what about you? Why did you also choose to betray me? Was it also because of the Wood Arms Company's formidable power?

"Because his Ancient Weapon, Wood, has a brighter future than me, Doflamingo?"

If the target were Wood, Caesar would choose to betray him, which doesn't surprise Doflamingo.

Because Caesar was never one of his men; their relationship was merely one of cooperation. Furthermore, Caesar was arrogant yet extremely afraid of death.

Doflamingo could completely understand why Wood would choose to betray him when threatened and given stronger protection and more financial support.

In fact, under those circumstances, if Caesar still firmly chose to stand on his side, Doflamingo would have suspected that the other party was not the real Caesar, or that he had other motives.

However, Doflamingo still couldn't quite understand Monet's betrayal.

To be honest, among the entire Donquixote family, Monet was one of the few people Doflamingo felt was least likely to betray him.

Even if the opponent is Wood, Doflamingo doesn't believe that Monet would submit to the opponent's force like Caesar did.

"Betrayal? That's a ridiculous statement. While it's true that I've called you 'Young Master' for many years, you don't really think that I joined the Don Quixote family because I admire and yearn for you, do you?"

From beginning to end, I was Wood's man. I joined the Don Quixote family solely as an undercover agent to help Wood.

Upon hearing Monet's words, Doflamingo's expression shifted from initial astonishment to realization, and finally to rage!

He never imagined that his mission to send Vergo to infiltrate the Navy would result in him being infiltrated by someone else!

The thought that Monet was sent by him to spy on Caesar because he trusted him so much made him realize that he had been completely manipulated by Wood from beginning to end.

It's laughable that he even thought he could secretly cooperate with Caesar and join forces with Big Mom and Kaido, two of the Four Emperors, to bring down Wood. Now it seems that the plan he thought was a secret was carried out right under Wood's nose.

I'm not a JOKER (ace), I'm a real clown!

Feeling tricked, Doflamingo's hatred for Monet at that moment even surpassed that for Law. So, in a fit of rage, he swooped down and charged directly at Monet, making her his primary target.

What was originally a 3v3 situation has now turned into a 1v5 situation. Apart from Caesar, the other five people present are all experts in Observation Haki and Armament Haki, so the entire island coastline was instantly enveloped by a powerful battle aura.

Caesar is a user of the "Gas-Gas Fruit," but his fruit ability can easily injure others besides himself. In addition, his combat skills are terrible, and he doesn't know Haki, so he quickly became the lazy member of the group of five.

As for Monet, Zoro, Law, and Sanji, although they have a numerical advantage at this moment, Doflamingo's understanding and use of his Devil Fruit ability has reached the top level in the ocean, and he is also a strong person who has mastered all three types of Haki.

Therefore, even when facing the combined attack of Monet and the other three, Doflamingo, though at a disadvantage, was not entirely powerless to retaliate.

With his "Shadow Rider Thread," "Parasitic Thread," "Rogue Thread," and defensive "Spider Web Thread" and "Spider Nest," Doflamingo can be considered the strongest user of the "String-String Fruit" in history.

It's just an ordinary Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. If it were in the hands of an ordinary person, it might only be used to weave clothes.

However, in Doflamingo's hands, this "String-String Fruit" was directly developed into one of the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruits on the sea.

Not only does it use "Shadow Riding Thread" which resembles a physical clone, but it also has "Parasitic Thread" which has control capabilities, "Rogue Thread" which has extremely high destructive power, "Air Thread" for flight, "Spider Web Thread" for defense, and even "Birdcage" which is similar to a field-killing skill.

A Devil Fruit that would at most be used for tailoring in the hands of others has been developed into a powerful weapon that combines offense and defense in the hands of Doflamingo.

Even now, when facing four opponents alone, Doflamingo shows no signs of defeat. He first uses the "Shadow Rider Thread" to confuse his true form, and then uses the "Parasitic Thread" to make Law and the others fight each other from time to time.

When faced with Zoro's "black sword" slash and unable to dodge, he was able to use the power of the "String-String Fruit" to urgently stitch up his wounds and prevent excessive bleeding.

To be honest, Law hadn't expected Doflamingo to be able to use the "String-String Fruit" to this extent.

He originally thought that with Caesar and Monet's sudden betrayal, plus the strength of the other three, taking down Doflamingo in a five-on-one fight shouldn't be a problem. But he didn't expect Doflamingo to have more tricks up his sleeve than he had imagined.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have called Straw Hat Master along too. I shouldn't have let him recklessly participate in some arena competition."

As the battle dragged on, Law began to feel uneasy. Dressres was Doflamingo's home turf, and if the fight became a protracted affair, the other Donquixote Family executives would eventually notice the situation and arrive.

"Straw Hat Boy? It would be even better if he were here too, so we could take you all down at once."

"I told you long ago, Luo, your tricks are utterly worthless in my eyes. Do you really think I dared to come here for a meeting with only what I had prepared beforehand?"

The real show is about to begin, and you should be glad that you still have the identity of a "Shichibukai".

But that doesn't matter, because I'll kill you myself, and I won't even need to lift a finger to kill the others here.

At first, Law and the others didn't understand what Doflamingo meant when they heard his words. However, when many marines in blue and white uniforms appeared, Law, Zoro, and the others finally understood what Doflamingo had just said.

As a large number of naval personnel entered, a tall man with short black hair, a mustache, closed eyes, an "X"-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead, wearing a naval overcoat with a purple lining, a purple scarf around his neck, wooden clogs, and carrying a cane-sword also appeared.

"Admiral Fujitora, I have lured out the pirates who were causing trouble on my island and attempting to harm our people, as agreed. Now it's up to you to see how you perform."

Trafalgar Law is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, an organization belonging to the World Government. Since your Navy can't easily take action against him, then I'll do it myself.

As for the others, they're all pirates. I hope Admiral Fujitora won't disappoint this law-abiding citizen. *fufufufu*

Doflamingo was incredibly arrogant at this moment, as he had completely manipulated Law and the Marines.

Even if Fujitora knew that his backside wasn't clean, what could he do at that moment?

As long as he remains the King of Dressrosa, even if Fujitora's stance is still that of the Navy, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only serve as a weapon in his hands to help him deal with Law and the Straw Hat crew.

Fujitora is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the "Gravity-Gravity Fruit". He was not originally a Marine, but was promoted to Admiral after shining in the "World Draft" following the Marineford War.

Doflamingo had no idea about the specific background and strength of this unfamiliar admiral, but since he was one of the top combatants of the Marine Headquarters, he must be quite capable. At least dealing with a few pirate brats would be no problem for him.

"Is it another case of scheming and infighting among pirates? It's a blessing to be blind to such things; there are just too many filthy and despicable people in the world that are unbearable to look at."

Fujitora wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that he was being used as a pawn by Doflamingo, and he also knew that Doflamingo was the same dirty and despicable person he had described. But now he was helpless.

As a Marine Admiral, he couldn't bring himself to harm Doflamingo, the King of Dressrosa; otherwise, he might have killed Doflamingo along with him here.

"Gravity Blade - Meteorite!"

He slightly raised the staff-sword in his hand, and purple rings shot into the sky. The next second, the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive, and everyone present with Observation Haki looked up at the sky in unison.

Almost instantly, everyone who looked up at the sky was dumbfounded.

Three enormous meteorites, radiating intense heat and flames, were breaking the sound barrier one after another, accelerating as they fell towards this place from tens of thousands of kilometers above!

Given the size of the meteorite and its terrifying acceleration, everyone present would be affected, and faced with such a large-scale attack, there was no other choice but to block it by force.

"Fujitora, you bastard, aren't you afraid of getting complaints and being stripped of your current position as a Marine Admiral by the World Government?!"

Seeing that Fujitora was actually so strong, Doflamingo was initially quite pleased. After all, if the new admiral was too weak and one or two of Monet and the others escaped, Doflamingo would be quite unhappy.

However, when he realized that Fujitora's attack had also included him, Doflamingo, he was immediately enraged.

He wanted to use Fujitora as a pawn, but he had no intention of becoming one of those who would be stabbed.

"I don't understand what you're saying. As you can see, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a Marine Admiral and eliminating the pirates here."

As for whether it has affected you, that is not my problem. After all, you have probably seen it yourself; a smile cannot be ignored. If innocent people are harmed, there is nothing that can be done.

Upon hearing Fujitora's words, Doflamingo's face contorted with rage. How could he possibly be caught off guard?! A dignified Marine Admiral, mistakenly attacking the wrong target because he couldn't see it? Did they really think he was an idiot?

Even if he can't see, he still has Observation Haki. And if he really can't control the area, why is there not a single storm in the area where Fujitora and his subordinates live?

Of course, despite his displeasure, Doflamingo could only leap high into the air and use his "String-String Fruit" ability to slice the meteorite hurtling towards him into pieces.

Now he and Luo are all in the same boat; faced with this attack, which is comparable to a natural disaster, they obviously cannot continue their previous battle.

Fujitora used his Devil Fruit ability to pull down three meteors. One hit Doflamingo and Law, one hit Zoro and Sanji, and the last one hit Monet and Caesar.

With Doflamingo and Law's strength, it was impossible for them to be killed by such a meteorite. Zoro and Sanji also worked together, with Zoro splitting the meteorite in half with a single slash and Sanji kicking away the remaining meteorite fragments, perfectly handling the second falling meteorite.

However, when faced with the third falling meteorite, Monet and Caesar's situation was far from ideal.

As everyone knows, Caesar is a researcher. Apart from his "Gas-Gas Fruit" ability, he's a complete weakling in combat. Let alone stopping meteors, if it were a real fight, he would definitely be the first one to fall.

Therefore, in the end, only Monet was able to stop this third meteorite.

The key issue is that Monet is a user of the "Snow-Snow Fruit," and the blizzards she blows are instantly melted into water when they come into contact with meteorites that generate high temperatures from friction with the atmosphere, making it impossible to stop the falling meteorites in the slightest.

While it's not entirely impossible for Monet to shatter rocks directly using Armament Haki, she's not Zoro. Most of her power comes from her Devil Fruit, and the price she would have to pay to stop a meteorite using other powers would be far too high.

Both Monet and Caesar are Logia-type Devil Fruit users. Even if they are powerless against the falling meteorite, they can at least avoid being killed by it if they can transform into their own element.

"Ice Age!"

Just as Monet and Caesar were about to transform into their elemental forms simultaneously, a terrifying chill suddenly erupted in the area. The visible cold wave not only instantly froze the seawater around the coast, but also formed a huge ice pillar that pierced directly at the falling meteorite.

In just a few moments, the huge meteorite, which had been glowing red from the intense heat, was transformed into a massive ice sculpture, standing tall in the center of the arena.

As for who made the move, it was naturally impossible for anyone other than former Marine Admiral Aokiji.

When they saw Aokiji appear, Fujitora and the other marines were obviously stunned for a moment, because they did not expect that Aokiji, who had left Marine Headquarters, would appear in such a place.

Chapter 587 Spy Pirate

"Aokiji, you persistent ghost, you still haven't left Dressrosa!"

Upon seeing Aokiji appear, Doflamingo was not pleased; instead, he wore an ugly expression.

Aokiji's appearance at this critical juncture will only make the situation more chaotic and cause things to gradually slip out of control.

As for Fujitora and the Navy, their expressions were somewhat awkward as they looked at Aokiji.

To be honest, compared to Akainu and Kizaru, Aokiji's reputation among the lower-ranking Marines at Marine Headquarters is second only to Marine Hero Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
