Do they need to retreat? You're kidding, it's Doflamingo and the rest of the Donquixote Family who need to run now!
As for whether there were any other high-ranking naval officers on the island besides Momousagi, Sabo didn't think about that.
The Admirals are the highest fighting force of the Navy Headquarters. There are always three of them at full strength. They are not as common as cabbages.
The fact that the World Government and the Marine Headquarters were able to send a Marine Admiral to the island shows that they already attach great importance to Doflamingo and Dressrosa. Could they possibly send two Marine Admirals?
As for Rear Admiral Ain, who was following Momousagi, the Revolutionary Army had also gathered some information about him.
The opponent's Devil Fruit ability is indeed quite troublesome, and in terms of combat power, it is even comparable to a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. However, it cannot change the current situation.
Moreover, Nico Robin, the demon child on Wood's side, and Perona, the ghost princess, haven't made a move yet. If necessary, the two of them are fully capable of stopping Rear Admiral Ain.
Sensing that the time was right, Sabo immediately found Luffy in the crowd and revealed his current identity.
Upon seeing his second brother Sabo, whom he had previously thought was dead, Luffy was overjoyed and even overwhelmed with excitement.
Upon learning that Sabo and his crew were also planning to take down Doflamingo, Luffy thumped his chest and, on Sabo's advice, immediately rushed ahead to the Dressrosa Palace, ready to solo the dungeon.
After watching Luffy leave, Sabo glanced at Wood and Momousagi, who were still locked in a fierce battle, and then stepped back into the arena.
He knew that Diamante, a high-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, was also in this arena, and that he had to get his hands on the "Flame-Flame Fruit," which was Ace's legacy!
On the other side, Doflamingo, who had failed in his attempt to counter Law and his group by using Admiral Fujitora as a pawn, went on another rampage of smashing things in a fit of rage after returning to the palace.
Before Doflamingo could calm down and rethink his plans, a barrage of bad news reached his ears.
The factory that produces artificial Devil Fruits was suddenly attacked by the Straw Hat crew's Flatch and the samurai Kin'emon, and has now fallen.
Then there's Sugar, a special member of the Donquixote Family, who has lost consciousness due to the ambush by Usopp and the Tontattas.
Those people in Dressrosa who were turned into toys by Sugar have all been turned back, and those who were forgotten have all regained their memories.
There was no need for Aokiji and Violet to find a way to expose Doflamingo's dirty deeds. Once those who had been turned into toys responded, all of Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family's actions over the years were completely exposed!
Enraged to the extreme, Doflamingo's forehead was covered with bulging veins. It was bad enough that the armory had been wiped out, but Sugar's unconsciousness caused his situation to collapse instantly!
However, just as Doflamingo was preparing to personally take down that long-nosed guy from the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy and Rebecca showed up at his doorstep!
Doflamingo, who was already on the verge of anger, was now in no mood to continue arguing with Luffy when he saw him again.
Skipping over the tedious mockery at the start, the enraged Doflamingo unleashed over 80% of his power right from the outset. As a result, Luffy, who hadn't even had time to unleash his full power, was already being thoroughly thrashed by Doflamingo's various abilities in less than three minutes after arriving at the scene.
Is Doflamingo strong? There's no doubt about it. Aside from the power of the "String-String Fruit," Doflamingo is more than capable of easily defeating Luffy, who has only been learning Haki for two years, in terms of both combat experience and the use of Haki.
Both were users of Conqueror's Haki, but the battle had only been going on for less than five minutes when Luffy, who had activated Gear Second, was already being trampled under Doflamingo's pointed shoes.
"The Straw Hat Pirates? I wouldn't have taken trash like you and Law seriously at all."
From beginning to end, all I cared about was that guy Wood, but I never expected that you ants would mess up my original plan so badly!
"Straw Hat Boy, you'll pay for everything you've done with your death. As for your companions, I'll send them to hell to find you later."
As Doflamingo spoke, he covered his pointed shoes with Armament Haki, attempting to stomp Luffy's head off with one foot.
It has to be said that Luffy's appearance was extremely ill-timed. Under normal circumstances, as a villain with professional ethics, Doflamingo would probably have mocked Luffy first, and then slowly revealed his strength, making Luffy experience despair and feel the cruelty of the sea.
Don't doubt whether Doflamingo would do this; it's probably just part of his professional ethics as a villain.
The protagonist has already pushed the enemy to the BOSS level. If he doesn't exchange a few words with the enemy, how can he demonstrate his positive qualities?
If things hadn't collapsed yet, Doflamingo wouldn't have minded making a fool of Luffy like a clown.
But all Doflamingo had left him with was anger, so he didn't bother arguing with Luffy anymore. He unleashed most of his power from the start and completely overwhelmed Luffy.
Luffy, who was being trampled under Doflamingo's feet, was quite frustrated at the moment. He sighed inwardly that Doflamingo was clearly different from the bosses he had defeated before. This guy was completely unpredictable.
If they go all out right from the start, won't that so-called fierce battle last more than two episodes?
More importantly, even if Wang Luffy wanted to use the "Gear Fourth" technique that he had only recently mastered, he now has absolutely no chance!
If he had known that Doflamingo was such an unpredictable boss, wouldn't he have stopped showing off and just come to his door in Gear Fourth?
Luffy was currently lying on his back, his hands pulled back by Doflamingo's, and he was completely unable to move.
As the pointed shoes covered in Armament Haki drew ever closer to his head, Luffy glared at Doflamingo with resentment.
"boom------!"
Doflamingo covered his pointed shoes with Armament Haki, easily cracking the ground and even creating a large crater.
However, when the sandstorm rose, Doflamingo's face showed no joy at his successful revenge; instead, he looked angrily in another direction.
"You persistent ants, you really have the tenacity of bedbugs, Luo."
Clearly, Doflamingo's kick just now failed to smash Luffy's head.
As the protagonist, besides being able to unleash his full power at any time, having someone come to the rescue in critical moments is also a kind of aura skill, which is perfectly normal.
Just as Doflamingo was about to crush Luffy's head, Law used the power of the "Op-Op Fruit" to swap Luffy's position with a rock.
So what Doflamingo just stomped on was a rock, not Luffy's head. It was because he felt something was wrong with the touch on his feet that he became so angry, knowing that Luffy had been saved by Law.
After glaring at Trafalgar Law, Doflamingo, who was initially furious, quickly put on a relaxed expression and said, "That's fine. These are guys I was going to kill anyway, and now they're all here together, saving me the trouble of searching for them everywhere."
"These are just small fry; even if more come, it's just a matter of spending a little more time on me."
Doflamingo had initially thought that Law would come with Aokiji, but when he saw that Law came alone, Doflamingo instantly calmed down.
Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, and Law—two such insignificant figures—were completely beneath Doflamingo's notice.
"Doflamingo, you have lost. Those who were turned into toys in Dressrosa have been restored. You have now lost the throne of Dressrosa, and the Navy can no longer protect you."
Upon hearing Law's words, Doflamingo was so angry that he laughed. He then used his Devil Fruit ability to create a ball of thread and threw it into the air.
As the giant ball of yarn reached the sky above Dressrosa, it exploded like fireworks, the scattered threads forming a giant lid that enveloped the entire city.
Before Luffy and Law could even ask what this was all about, Doflamingo, seemingly to mock them or to put pressure on them, explained, "This is my strongest ability—the Birdcage."
The area covered by the "birdcage" can completely block signals from both inside and outside, and prevent anyone inside the birdcage from leaving.
And this ability has a hidden bonus: as time goes by, the threads forming the birdcage will continuously shrink towards the center.
You've already experienced the sharpness of my threads, haven't you? So you should understand perfectly well what that means, right?
Wood considered the "Birdcage" ability to be a bugged skill.
Heaven knows how the threads managed to block the signal, and even the Armament Haki of a Marine Admiral and the Seastone that counters Devil Fruits couldn't break through it, which Wood found quite absurd.
Fortunately, this incredibly powerful ability also has a fatal flaw: the time it takes for the Birdcage to shrink is something even Doflamingo cannot control.
Moreover, the skill's wind-up time is too long, several tens of minutes. In that time, if you encounter a strong opponent far stronger than Doflamingo, it would be enough for the Joker to be brutally killed several times over.
In short, this skill is a deadly weapon against opponents who are weaker, equal in strength, or even slightly stronger than oneself.
However, when used to deal with opponents far stronger than oneself, that is the so-called "pre-animation longer than lifespan" series.
"I've already lost? No, no, no, even if everything I did before is exposed, so what?"
As long as no one leaves Dressrosa alive, I will remain one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the King of Dressrosa, once the storm passes.
"And even if everything falls apart, so what? At least before I fall, taking out both of you won't be a problem at all."
The "Birdcage" was Doflamingo's last trump card, which he originally intended to use to solve all problems as a last resort.
But when he suddenly remembered that there were two Marine Admirals, Aokiji and Fujitora, on the island, he suddenly became somewhat unsure whether his "Birdcage" could wipe out everyone on the island.
But no matter what the final outcome, Doflamingo is determined to take down Luffy and Law right now!
Doflamingo didn't know why Aokiji and Fujitora hadn't come, but if the Birdcage shrank to a certain extent and the two still didn't show up, then Doflamingo's chances of winning would still be very high.
After all, even a Marine Admiral cannot break through his "Birdcage" head-on. As long as he is not defeated before the Birdcage fully closes, the Marine Admiral will die!
As for why Aokiji and Fujitora, whom Doflamingo was curious about, didn't appear here, there's actually a reason for that.
After learning about Doflamingo's many misdeeds, Fujitora, who was already quite dissatisfied with Doflamingo, naturally gathered a large force of the Navy and prepared to go to the palace to arrest Doflamingo.
Unfortunately, on Sabo's orders, Revolutionary Army cadre Koala and Belo Betty, one of the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army with a bounty of 457 million Berries, also led the Revolutionary Army's army to storm the royal palace in Dressrosa.
As mentioned before, for the Navy and the World Government, pirates are only secondary enemies. The real threat to them is always the so-called Revolutionary Army.
When the World Government learned that Dressrosa not only had a large number of pirates gathered there, but also the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff and several executives, it immediately ordered Fujitora to abandon his original target and instead attack the Revolutionary Army.
The Chief of Staff is already the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, and the intelligence and secrets he knows are naturally extraordinary. If we can capture him alive, it will be of great help to the World Government in defeating the Revolutionary Army.
Even if we don't manage to capture the key figures of the Revolutionary Army alive this time, killing Chief of Staff Sabo and Corps Commander Bello Betty here would still be a major blow to the Revolutionary Army.
At first, Koala and Belo Betty were no match for the Marines when they encountered Fujitora and the Marines. However, Sabo, who had eaten the "Flame-Flame Fruit" and caught up with them, directly turned the tide of the battle!
Chapter 592 Admiral Aokiji, Your Boss is Looking for You
Unlike Luffy, Sabo was personally trained by Dragon from a very young age. He not only learned Dragon's skills, but also mastered Observation Haki and Armament Haki at a very early age. Otherwise, he would not have become the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army.
After consuming the "Flame-Flame Fruit," Sabo's already formidable strength experienced a dramatic increase.
In just a few rounds, he killed Diamanti, a high-ranking member of the Don Quixote Family's "Cube" faction, and then came to Koala's side.
Even after eating the "Flame-Flame Fruit," Sabo's strength would have been at most on par with Fujitora.
However, unlike the Navy, which only has one main force, the Revolutionary Army, in addition to Sabo, also has Koala and Belo Betty, among others.
Kella is one thing, but while his strength is decent, he's not strong enough to influence the overall situation.
However, Bello Betty is different. There's a reason why she became one of the Revolutionary Army's legion commanders; it's because she possesses such abilities.
Putting aside Belo Betty's personal strength, she is also a Devil Fruit user, and her Devil Fruit ability is quite unique.
