[Operation Fruit] After opening "Slaughterhouse (ROOM)".

In this special space, the user can manipulate, cut, piece together, and exchange everything within it at will, including even living beings.

However, it must be noted that the "cutting" in the "slaughterhouse" does not directly take the enemy's life.

What's rather counterintuitive is...

After Law used the Op-Op Fruit to "cut off" parts of the target's body.

Not only original body parts, but even body parts that have been cut off can retain their special connections with other parts.

This special connection, when applied to a Devil Fruit user, means that multiple different parts of their body can simultaneously unleash their abilities.

Storm's assessment of the battle situation was undoubtedly accurate.

Doflamingo was beheaded by Law in one blow, but his life was not harmed.

"Furfur!"

Doflamingo's ear-piercing laughter rang out once again.

"So this is the power of the Op-Op Fruit?! It truly lives up to its reputation as the legendary 'Ultimate Fruit'!"

Doflamingo has a very high level of knowledge about the Op-Op Fruit.

If not.

Doflamingo would not have been involved in the "Op-Op Fruit" trade war between the World Government and the corrupt Navy.

In Doflamingo's view

Luo is currently just a newcomer to the vast ocean, yet to make his mark.

But he was a well-established Shichibukai!

Although Doflamingo is currently seriously injured and has not received any replenishment for several days.

However, the gap in strength between him and Luo remains as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

under these circumstances.

Law could use the special effects of the Op-Op Fruit to sever Doflamingo's neck in one strike.

That's enough for this brat to be proud of!

Below Doflamingo's detached head, nearly transparent threads began to grow, rapidly connecting to his body which was still standing in place.

At the same time, the headless body that remained in place raised its right hand toward Luo's location, and a tightly tangled white thread emerged from the tip of its index finger, like a bullet.

"Strike the string!"

A white line popped out from Doflamingo's headless body.

The white line shot out like a bullet, tearing through the air and rushing directly in front of Luo.

However, without a head, the accuracy of shooting a headless body is still somewhat lacking.

The bullet that was supposed to be aimed at Law's forehead only hit his shoulder.

The trajectory of the projectile was incredibly fast.

Given Luo's reaction speed, he was simply unable to swing his sword to defend himself.

At this critical moment.

Luo unleashed his power without hesitation—

"ROOM!"

Luo's body vanished from the spot.

Doflamingo's projectile missed its target, flying straight backward and smashing a rock in the distance.

When Luo reappeared, he was already high in the sky.

The famous sword, "Oni-ku," was drawn once more, carrying the spatial slashing ability unique to the "Op-Op Fruit," and swiftly slashed towards Doflamingo's forehead.

Judging from Law's stance, he seemed to want to use this slash to split Doflamingo's head open!

The blade of the famous sword "Oniku" traced a sharp trajectory in mid-air, emitting a "whooshing" sound like crying, and struck Doflamingo directly in the forehead.

however.

Unlike the smooth and unobstructed "cutting" he usually experienced, this time Luo felt as if his "Demon Cry" had struck a hard rock.

clang!

Law's famous sword, "Oni-ku," struck Doflamingo's forehead, producing a crisp, clear clanging sound.

Look closely.

A jet-black color appeared on Doflamingo's forehead; it was none other than Armament Haki!

Regarding the "Op-Op Fruit"—and indeed all other Devil Fruits.

The power of [dominance] can always have a restraining effect on it.

Even though Law's "Op-Op Fruit" is hailed as the "ultimate fruit".

However, when the target's "domineering" level is too high.

Law's "Op-Op Fruit" also cannot cause a "cutting" effect on the target.

Doflamingo's level of "Haki" wouldn't even be considered top-tier in the New World.

But for Luo, who was just starting out...

Doflamingo's Armament Haki is like an invincible "Wait Wall"!

Law's famous sword, "Oni-ku," struck Doflamingo's head, but instead of causing any damage, it sent Doflamingo's head slamming downwards like a baseball.

With the help of Luo's sword-wielding power.

Doflamingo's head reconnected to his headless body.

next moment.

Doflamingo stretched out his right hand and once again released several thin threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye, which shot towards Law in the sky.

Luo brandished his famous sword, "Ghost Cry," attempting to sever the threads that were shooting towards him.

However, these threads were far too fine.

Without mastering the power of Observation Haki, Law couldn't even see the location of all the threads.

puff-

Several threads were inserted into Luo's body.

next moment.

Luo's expression suddenly changed, because he realized that he had lost control of his body.

"Parasite line!"

Doflamingo habitually tucked his index and ring fingers in, only raising his thumb, middle, and little fingers, like a special piano-playing gesture, and directly manipulated Law's body.

"Get down!"

Doflamingo suddenly pulled his right hand downwards.

Law's body was violently pulled down from the sky and crashed into Storm, Nami, and Perona.

at the same time.

Doflamingo's body soared into the sky like a flamingo taking flight.

The threads he just launched weren't just for using "Parasitic Threads," but also to conceal his true tactical objective—

"The Path of Clouds!"

The threads released by Doflamingo directly connected to the white clouds in the sky.

Using these silk threads, he soared straight into the sky.

At the same time.

Doflamingo didn't forget to extend his empty, long-held left hand to Law, whom he had pulled down, as well as Storm, Nami, and others.

"birdcage!!"

Countless threads erupted from Doflamingo's left hand, like a volcanic eruption.

Thousands upon thousands of threads fell like a meteor shower, forming an enormous, arc-shaped birdcage in mid-air, trapping Storm, Law, and the others inside.

Doflamingo didn't even spare the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the black dog Iggy who were lying on the ground, or even the innocent Bepo. He used "Birdcage" to trap almost everyone present inside.

The only target that Doflamingo overlooked was Baby5 on the other side.

Doflamingo grabbed the white cloud in the sky with his right hand, released and maintained the "birdcage" with his left hand, and stretched out his right foot, releasing a strong thread that directly connected to Baby5 below.

"Young Master!"

With a gasp, Baby5 was caught by the threads released by Doflamingo, and she was sent flying into the sky.

"Doflamingo!!"

Luo stared furiously at Doflamingo flying away in the sky, letting out an extremely angry roar.

However, his body is still under the control of the "parasite thread".

Doflamingo manipulated Law's body like a puppet, smashing it directly at Storm and the others.

We don't seek to harm the enemy, we only seek to delay them!

Doflamingo had finally created this rare opportunity.

All he wants now is to escape at all costs!

escape!

No matter where this is.

As long as we escape from the white dragon!

As long as we escape this island!

As long as we can escape!

Doflamingo is now obsessed with escaping.

As for how to get revenge on Bai Long?

Kaido of the Beasts!

Kaido of the Beasts can definitely provide protection!

Doflamingo was determined that if he could escape alive, he would definitely go back to Wano Country and ask Kaido of the Beasts for help!

The situation on the field changed too quickly.

Law was violently pulled down by Doflamingo and slammed into Storm and the others.

Bepo rushed up just in time and caught Law before he could hit Storm and the others.

However, Law was still being manipulated by Doflamingo's "parasite strings" at this time, and he could not exert his full strength at all, and he could not even move.

"ROOM!"

Luo forcibly activated the power of the [Op-Op Fruit], first severing the transparent threads attached to his body, and then rushing directly towards Doflamingo in the sky.

However, Luo's "ROOM" has too narrow a scope.

When he teleported into the sky.

Doflamingo was about to touch the white clouds in the sky, completely flying out of Law's attack range.

As Law watched Doflamingo's figure disappear into the horizon, he fell dejectedly onto the island below.

Bepo originally wanted to hug its captain.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo's "Birdcage" firmly blocked Bepo's claw attacks, preventing it from escaping.

Luo's body slammed directly into the birdcage, then bounced off the sturdy cage and onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust on the island of Minion.

"captain!"

Bepo looked at Luo with a mixture of nervousness and worry.

"What a pity."

The next moment, Storm's sigh rang in Luo's ears.

"I gave you a chance, but you failed! Luo."

Luo instinctively got up and turned to look at Storm.

As long as Bai Long is willing to take action—

Storm seemed to have guessed what Luo was thinking.

Or perhaps...

He never intended for Doflamingo to escape!

Separated by a sturdy birdcage.

Storm glanced at Doflamingo, who was about to fly away from Minion Island, and his eyes narrowed instantly.

boom--

A grotesque, twisted arc of black and red electricity erupted from Storm's body, sweeping across the sky with lightning speed, precisely locking onto Doflamingo and Baby 5 who were about to fly away.

[Conqueror's Haki]!

Doflamingo was completely unaware of the Conqueror's Haki attacking from behind.

He felt an unprecedented mental shock erupt in his brain.

It was only a brief moment.

Doflamingo's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

Baby5, who was rescued in time, was also knocked unconscious by Storm's [Conqueror's Haki].

Doflamingo, who was about to escape, fell straight down from the sky like a flamingo with broken wings.

at the same time.

The "Birdcage" that Doflamingo had just released also lost its effect and disappeared as the Devil Fruit user lost consciousness.

Storm only glanced at it.

He then "glared" and knocked out a veteran Shichibukai!
