One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 348 The Tragic Puppet! The Awakening of the Demon and the Gathering at the Summit of the Roy
Below the royal palace, smoke hung like a thick, dark cloud over the desolate battlefield.
The all-out war between the punitive expeditionary force and the Don Quixote family's executives has now begun.
The deafening roar continued, and blood and gravel flew through the air.
Faced with a tidal wave of elite family members, the Straw Hat crew displayed astonishing teamwork and overwhelming combat power.
"clang--!"
Zoro's arms were bulging with muscles, and the veins coiled around them like a dragon.
He brandished his twin swords, which were imbued with high-level Armament Haki, and let out a deep battle roar, ruthlessly shattering the dozens of giant rock spikes summoned by Pica.
Amidst the swirling rubble, Sanji weaved through the enemy ranks using Moonwalk, his Diable Jambe drawing brilliant yet deadly arcs of fire with each kick accompanied by the muffled crack of breaking bones.
"Ignore what's going on up there!"
"Defeat all the enemies in front of us!"
"We absolutely cannot let any scum interfere with Luffy's battle!"
Zoro exuded an aura of demonic power, roaring at his comrades fighting alongside him.
Upon hearing the swordsman's shout, the Straw Hat crew understood immediately.
With the full support of his companions and Sabo, Luffy activated Gear Second, his body enveloped in scorching white steam.
He made his way unimpeded up the rugged rock steps, speeding towards the top floor of the palace.
However, just as Luffy was about to rush into the last step of the palace's top floor, a swaying figure, looking rather forlorn, blocked his way.
Upon seeing the person's face, Luffy abruptly stopped in his tracks.
That's "Hyena" Bellamy.
Bellamy's appearance at this time was appalling.
His body was covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds, and blood stained his clothes, dripping continuously from his fingertips onto the stone slab.
His eyes were bloodshot, and tears mixed with humiliation and resentment kept welling up.
But his already overburdened body was completely beyond his control, stubbornly adopting a fighting stance.
It turns out that Doflamingo, who was at the top of the palace, cruelly used the power of "Parasite Threads".
He forcibly controlled the critically injured and dying Bellamy, turning him into a puppet that could only be manipulated at will.
It was merely intended as a negligible defensive line to wear down Luffy's stamina.
From the depths of the palace, Doflamingo's sickly laughter drifted down the stairs:
"Fufufu...Straw Hat Boy."
"If you don't want to die here, just kill this useless piece of trash who worships me."
"Anyway, he's no longer of any use to me."
Hearing her former idol's mocking words, as if he were discarding a broken toy, Bellamy's last line of defense crumbled.
Tears streaming down his face, he pleaded painfully with Luffy:
"Straw hat...kill me!"
"Please, just kill me!"
"I don't want to be used by that man as a tool to strip me of my dignity anymore!"
Seeing the man in front of him weeping bitterly, Luffy fell silent.
His mind involuntarily flashed back to the tavern in Mogu Town on Jaya Island a few years ago.
Bellamy, who put his feet up on the table, laughed arrogantly, and mocked other people's dreams.
Now, this proud man, for the sake of that ridiculous and blind worship, has been so ruthlessly trampled into the mud by his idol, and even the right to control his own life has been taken away.
Luffy slowly lowered his head, raised his hand to pull down the brim of his straw hat, and the heavy shadows concealed the expression in his eyes.
Under the forceful control of invisible threads, Bellamy unleashed a speed beyond its limits at the cost of overdrawing her life essence.
The muscles in his legs twisted, transforming into powerful steel springs that continuously compressed and stored energy.
Then, he unleashed the most powerful attack of his life—the "Spring-Swed Swan".
With a sharp whooshing sound, Bellamy bounced and accelerated against the walls on both sides.
Finally, accompanied by a strong wind, it slammed heavily towards Luffy's front.
Faced with this all-out attack, Luffy did not choose to dodge this time.
A gust of wind lifted the corner of his red clothes, and Luffy clenched his teeth and his right fist.
A surge of deep, jet-black, high-level Armament Haki erupted instantly, completely covering his right arm.
Facing Bellamy's ferocious attack trajectory, Luffy swung his right arm and, without any mercy, punched Bellamy in the face.
The dull thuds of flesh colliding echoed for a long time on the empty stairs.
"You won't have to suffer anymore, Bellamy..."
With Luffy's deep, hoarse voice, the power of that punch pierced through Bellamy's body.
Bellamy flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing a tragic arc in mid-air before crashing heavily onto the cold stone slab.
He lost consciousness on the spot.
However, in the moments before he lost consciousness, the corners of his blood-soaked mouth turned up slightly, bearing a bitter smile of relief.
Luffy stood quietly for a moment, looking at the man on the ground who was no longer being tortured.
Then, he took firm steps and stepped over Bellamy's body.
At this moment, the anger in his heart had reached its peak.
On the open terrace atop the royal palace.
Doflamingo's body trembled slightly, and his fingers, which had been constantly moving around the wound, finally stopped.
With the incredible power of the String-String Fruit, he completed the "emergency suturing" of his shattered organs and broken blood vessels, forcibly pulling himself back from the brink of death.
He slowly straightened up, half of his body stained red with blood.
Seeing the calm-looking Victor and the dying Law, Doflamingo went into a frenzied killing spree.
He opened his arms as if embracing the whole world, then slammed them down onto the broken ground beneath his feet.
"Since you are so eager to change this country..."
"Then I'll show you the true power of a demon!"
The Paramecia-type String-String Fruit "Awakening" is activated with a roar!
In an instant, a strange and powerful energy spread outward from Doflamingo's center.
The surrounding solid marble buildings, ornate floors, and scattered ruins all underwent physical changes under this unknown force.
The originally hard substance was quickly assimilated and transformed into countless swirling white threads in the blink of an eye!
The entire top floor of the palace seemed to transform into a raging white sea in an instant.
Countless sharp, knife-like lines intertwined and coiled, like white dragons with gaping maws, carrying a terrifying power capable of crushing everything, sweeping madly towards Victor and Law from all directions.
Despite the terrifying scene that resembled an apocalyptic catastrophe, Victor's expression remained unchanged.
He carried the heavily injured Luo, and a soft light emanated from his body.
With precise control over gravity, the two seemed to lose weight and instantly rose into the air.
Beneath my feet was a wildly churning white sea of water, with giant waves crashing against the sky, creating a deafening roar.
Victor, with Law in tow, hovered silently in mid-air, like a cold god looking down on the struggles of mortals.
Doflamingo looked up, only to find that his awakened ultimate attack, powerful enough to destroy a town, hadn't even touched the hem of his opponent's clothes.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, and his murderous intent almost overwhelmed his reason.
Just as Doflamingo was manipulating several thick waves of lines, preparing to change direction and launch a frenzied pursuit of the two people in mid-air.
"BOOM—!!!"
The huge, dilapidated gate of the palace terrace was suddenly smashed to pieces by a terrifying force from the outside!
Broken planks and heavy iron bolts flew wildly in all directions like projectiles, crashing onto the surrounding ruins with a crisp sound.
Luffy strode forward like an enraged lion, stepping on the remaining stones at the edge of the path, his body radiating an astonishing heat that seemed almost tangible.
He first looked up and glanced at Victor and Luo, who were suspended in the air.
Seeing that the two were out of danger, Luffy turned around and fixed his sharp gaze on Doflamingo, who was surrounded by white lines and looked like a demon from hell.
The wind whipped Luffy's short black hair, his chest bulged high, and he concentrated all his anger and power in this moment.
Luffy stretched out his right hand, pointed at Doflamingo, and unleashed a roar that drowned out all the noise:
"Doflamingo!!!"
"I'm going to beat you to a pulp today!!!"
