Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

The next moment, the puppet's brief erratic movement ended, and looking into its headless neck, no blood or bones were visible, only a dense array of shadowy lines.

Immediately afterwards, a huge white beam shot into the sky from the hole in Doflamingo's headless neck, heading straight for the top of the King's Highlands!

The scene was extremely spectacular. The King's Heights, already the highest point in Dressrosa, now had such a thick column of wire shooting into the sky, instantly attracting the attention of all the island's residents, soldiers, and even the Donquixote Family members...

"what is that?"

"The King's Heights is where that traitor Doflamingo is. What heinous things is he doing now?!"

"I don't know, King Riku. Please give the order quickly. What should we do?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time, we will all listen to you!"

Within the capital, the residents and soldiers naturally had no idea what the thing that had shot into the sky from the King's Heights was, and they felt no fear.

King Riku, Rebecca, and other royal leaders were in the same boat, though they remained silent, their eyes fixed on the white pillar of light, a shadow falling over their hearts, a sense of foreboding rising within them…

"Look! It's that move!"

"What happened in the flower field? Why would the young master suddenly use such an extreme and terrifying move? He's trying to lock down the entire Dressrosa, preventing anyone from entering or leaving!"

"I really don't know who angered the young master... That move was terrifying; even we wouldn't want to face it!"

The residents and soldiers had no idea that the Don Quixote family was someone they knew all too well.

In particular, the cadres had the "fortunate" experience of witnessing Doflamingo use this move, but the situation then and now is clearly two different things.

At least in their home base, Dressrosa, such a thing has never happened.

Now that they have witnessed it with their own eyes again, it can only prove one thing: the situation has become extremely serious. Otherwise, why would Doflamingo be in this situation?

In any case, Doflamingo has been back for several days now. Even if he can't know what the top executives might face like they do, as executives, he has at least received some information.

After considering these possibilities, all the Donquixote Family executives stationed in various parts of Dressrosa, except for Señor who was guarding the SMILE factory and could not leave, immediately headed towards the flower field to support Doflamingo!

Torrepol, the highest-ranking officer who had just settled the sugar and left the castle, naturally noticed the anomaly in the sky and immediately decided to turn back and head to the flower field as well.

The tension was building; clearly, a major battle between the two teams was about to unfold...

At that very moment, a scene that shocked the entire nation of Dressrosa also unfolded!

The pillars of lines that shot into the sky from Doflamingo's clone immediately dispersed upon reaching high altitude, with thousands upon thousands of Shadow Rider lines each pointing in a different direction...

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the Shadow Rider Line, centered on the point of origin, spread out like an umbrella towards the edge of Dressrosa's territory.

In just over ten seconds, all the Shadow Riders were in position, deeply embedded in the ground at the edge of the country!

At this moment, Dressrosa is like a giant white birdcage, completely closed off, turning everyone into caged birds!

Not only that, but as soon as the Shadow Riders were all in place, there was immediate movement. Countless white lines, resembling steel, converged inwards at the same speed from all directions, leaving countless deep cuts on the ground...

The Birdcage is the most powerful technique Doflamingo can use besides his Devil Fruit awakening!

The terrifying aspect of this move lies not in its direct impact in combat, but in its closed nature and the immense psychological torment it inflicts!

Keep in mind that at the speed at which the birdcage closes, it will take at most an hour to cut across the entire Dressrosa, and everyone without exception will be sliced ​​into pieces by these lines that are harder than steel.

At the beginning, even for ordinary people, avoiding the birdcage's cuts wasn't difficult; they could simply keep running inwards towards the island. But the further they went, the more unsolvable the problem became…

One can imagine the immense psychological torment this process would inflict on everyone!

Of course, besides these, the birdcage has another bug-level function, which is to isolate all signals between the island and the outside world, preventing any news from the island from spreading to the outside world.

This is why Doflamingo activated the Birdcage without hesitation right away!

Even someone as arrogant as him couldn't bear the consequences if the news from here got out; he knew what that would mean.

Therefore, before Tesoro could even arrive, Doflamingo hastily resorted to this method.

Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of Luo Feng and his group disrupted many of Doflamingo's plans. If the Godfall crew hadn't arrived early, he would have had enough time to deal with the situation in Dressrosa and wouldn't have resorted to such an extreme move so soon.

“…Newbie, since you're determined to mess with me, then stay.”

"Within this birdcage, I am the absolute ruler. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot change anything!"

"If you're going to associate with that traitor Violet, then I'll let you watch with your own eyes as the foolish people of this country are desperately torn into pieces by birdcages!"

In the battlefield of the flower field, Doflamingo, having seen the Birdcage fully formed, was laughing maniacally and constantly provoking Luo Feng.

At this moment, his mental state seemed somewhat abnormal...

However, it's not hard to understand why Dressrosa, which he had painstakingly built up over a decade, had fallen into such a state, with the family betrayal he despised the most, and the immense pressure brought by the emergence of the Godfall group...

Under such high pressure, even a normal person would probably break down, let alone Doflamingo, who was already psychologically twisted and perverted to the extreme.

But just then, a sneer, tinged with disdain, reached his ears.

"You think you can keep me locked up in this broken cage?"

"Dover, should I say you're too naive, too confident in yourself, or should I say you underestimate me?"

Chapter 278 String-String Fruit Awakening

The speaker was none other than Luo Feng!

Upon hearing that sneer, which carried a hint of disdain and coldness, Doflamingo's laughter abruptly ceased, and he stared at Luo Feng with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Even he himself rarely uses the birdcage. This is only the second time it has been used in the past ten years. The last time was more than ten years ago when he used it to capture young Luo.

Of course, the fact that it is rarely used does not mean that this move is not powerful; it's just that no one has ever been able to force him to this point before!

As a Devil Fruit user himself, Doflamingo was well aware of how terrifying this move was.

Once the birdcage is used, it is extremely difficult to destroy. Even if someone is stronger than him, without truly overwhelming attack power and domineering aura, they will still find it difficult to stop the birdcage!

It's important to understand that even among the original pirates, when so many powerful individuals joined forces, the Birdcage's advance was only slowed down by a negligible amount.

Among these people was even Fujitora, who was of general rank!

Of course, whether Fujitora can destroy the Birdcage is still unknown. After all, he didn't fight seriously. Admiral-level strength is no joke, and he definitely surpasses Doflamingo by a lot.

However, this is enough to prove how terrifying the Birdcage is. Whether it is hardness or power, it is indeed Doflamingo's most powerful move!

Therefore, Doflamingo was quite confident in this move.

However, he had been blinded by various factors, as if he had forgotten who he was facing...

Luo Feng possesses the ability to summon meteorites, and his final, terrifying attack during the Marineford War was absolutely devastating!

It can be said that in terms of attack power, Luo Feng's ability is in no way inferior to Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit, which is known as the strongest attack power.

Moreover, he possesses Armament Haki capable of fighting Whitebeard to a standstill. With such an incredibly powerful attack, dealing with Doflamingo's so-called Birdcage would probably be... not a difficult task at all!

Indeed, that's true. Difficult to destroy doesn't mean impossible to destroy. Just like Bartolomeo's supposedly invincible defense, it might not be a problem for someone with truly top-tier attack power on this vast ocean.

"Alright, Dover, don't waste my time."

Just then, Luo Feng spoke calmly, "Make your move, or I won't say you didn't give me a chance."

Luo Feng stood with his hands behind his back, descending into the void without adopting any fighting stance. He wanted Doflamingo to make the first move!

It's not that Luo Feng is arrogant; with his current strength, there are very few people who can make him go all out...

With the strength of an admiral, even Whitebeard was defeated by him, so why would he look down on Doflamingo?

Moreover, judging from Luo Feng's demeanor, he didn't seem to have any desire to damage the birdcage.

There's no need to go through all that trouble. As long as we take down Doflamingo, the Birdcage will naturally disappear. Luo Feng is still confident that he can eliminate that broken cage before it causes any real harm to the country!

Most importantly, the best way to break free of the birdcage is to summon a meteorite...

After all, the birdcage covered too much area, and Luo Feng had no intention of using his domineering aura to run around and cause destruction. Using a terrifyingly large meteorite to bombard it directly was undoubtedly the best way.

However, he didn't want to use such a large-scale attack on this land. If he did, even if the birdcage was broken, the country would be doomed...

In other words, he came to defeat Doflamingo and suppress the search.

With sheer domineering presence and kicking skills, you can solve any problem!

"Guhaha, Captain, didn't we agree that I would handle this bastard?"

"My hands are itching! You just had a big battle not long ago, why don't you rest and let me have this bastard!"

Just then, Crocodile's voice came from behind.

It's clear that Crocodile doesn't have a very good impression of this enthusiastic young man who's so eager to get him to open a Shaxian snack shop...

Most importantly, in the few days since Violet boarded the ship, everyone has gotten to know each other and inevitably started talking about the past and reminiscing.

This is especially true for Vivi, the princess whose experiences and identity somewhat overlap with Violet's...

Out of admiration for Violet, the two women talked a lot, and of course, they inevitably mentioned their past in Alabasta.

This is rather awkward, because Crocodile, the mastermind, is still on the ship!

What he did back then was almost identical to what Doflamingo did!

However, he hadn't had a chance to implement it yet, which made Crocodile a little embarrassed, so he wanted to make a good impression in this campaign.

It has to be said that Crocodile's personality has changed a lot after he fully integrated into the team. He would never have cared about these things before!

"Don't rush, crocodile, conserve your strength. Your time to shine will come."

Just then, Luo Feng's voice came over.

Without explaining the reason, he simply told Crocodile to conserve his strength, clearly indicating that he intended to personally deal with Doflamingo!

Because, in his mind, he simply couldn't believe that someone as cunning as Doflamingo, with so many days to prepare, wouldn't have no backup plan...

"Guhahaha, yes sir, Captain."

Although 43 didn't know the reason, the group never doubted the orders of their captain 0, and never said a word. They always obeyed unconditionally!

"Fufufu... Luo Feng, you brat, you bastard crocodile, I admit you're strong, but..."

"You guys are really underestimating me!"

Looking at the two people opposite him, who seemed to regard him as prey, they actually started discussing how to divide the spoils right in front of him. Even the most good-tempered person would probably not be able to tolerate this, let alone someone like Doflamingo who is vindictive.

This situation is absolutely outrageous; where has he ever experienced anything like this before?

In the past, these would have been his own lines!

Doflamingo, enraged, laughed coldly. Through his sunglasses, his eyes were fixed on Luo Feng. Then, he roared, and the entire flower field began to pulsate in unison…

This is a sign that the String-String Fruit is about to awaken its powers!
