Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Boom!"

After the explosion of "Hado No. 88: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Thunder Cannon", a pink figure darted out from the side.

Doflamingo was no longer the domineering and arrogant man he had been before. Instead, he looked extremely disheveled, with his clothes torn in many places and appearing to be charred in several areas.

A strong smell of burning began to spread throughout the space of "Jianjing·Senbonzakura Kageyoshi", which was the smell released by the waves of lines that had been blasted through.

“Fufufu…”

Even so, Doflamingo still spoke with arrogance.

"Sakura Dragon, is this the true power after the fruit awakens? Creating a special space, and then being able to use special powers within that space."

Even though he knew he was in a separate, special space, Yann did not carelessly reveal his secret, but instead casually replied.

"If you say so, then it is."

Doflamingo removed the half-broken sunglasses from his face, revealing his sinister and domineering eyes, and said...

"Or, Sakura Dragon, your ability isn't actually a Sakura Fruit at all, but rather... a Mythical Zoan? You've just been using other abilities to cover it up."

"Doflamingo, the dead don't need to know so many secrets."

"Of course, if you're willing to reveal the secrets about the World Government that's hidden in your mind, I might consider letting you live," Yan said calmly.

“Fufufu…”

Doflamingo seemed to have heard something interesting and began to speak.

"As the son of a Marine Admiral, do you want to investigate the secrets of the World Government? Do you also harbor ambitions to overthrow the seas?"

“Just out of curiosity,” Yann replied.

“Fufufu, Sakura Dragon, your behavior cannot be explained by mere curiosity.”

Doflamingo stared intently at Yann, as if recognizing this man he had previously overlooked, and spoke.

"It seems that your goal may be the same as mine. That stupid man Corazon is not important at all. What you want is the result of the surgery."

"No, that's the difference between you and me..."

Yann raised his sharp eyes, a confident smile inadvertently appearing on his face, and said.

"You may carelessly pave the way for your companions' corpses on the road to overturning the sea, but I would much rather climb to the top of the red earth with my companions."

Doflamingo's expression revealed utter disdain, and his Conqueror's Haki was unintentionally revealed. An invisible pressure emanated from Doflamingo as he spoke.

"Fufufu, a king is always alone, and there can only ever be one throne atop the red clay!"

Yaen said calmly, his eyes filled with a serene expression.

"Unfortunately, the common people in this sea do not actually need a throne, so I will take away that superfluous throne!"

"What an arrogant statement, Sakura Dragon. Can your weak body support such a huge ambition?"

As Doflamingo spoke, a large number of lines converged again around him.

Immediately afterwards, Doflamingo flashed forward, heading straight for Yann amidst a massive wave of lines.

Doflamingo had to admit that Yann's hidden power far exceeded his imagination, but one thing would never change: Yann's physical condition.

"Just get close, and all you need is a thread..."

"A single thread could cut this fragile yet powerful man in two!"

Having already realized that Yann was skilled in long-range attacks, Doflamingo made the corresponding decision almost instantly, charging straight at Yann with a ferocious aura.

Despite Doflamingo's approach, Yann's expression remained unchanged.

Even though maintaining "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" would waste a lot of spiritual pressure, for Aon, whose spiritual pressure has now reached twenty-four carts and is on the verge of meeting the spiritual pressure requirements to simultaneously unleash the Bankai of two Zanpakuto, there is still a lot of spare energy.

Immediately, Yann extended one hand forward, his palm once again aimed at Doflamingo.

Seeing that familiar posture and recalling the exaggerated lightning pillar that Yann had just released, Doflamingo's nerves tensed up instantly, and he subconsciously prepared himself to dodge.

However, this time, what came out of Yann's mouth was whispered.

"Binding Spell #30: Three Flashes from the Mouth"

[Chapter 122. The Ninetyth Stage of Breaking the Path: The Black Coffin]

"Binding Spell #30: Three Flashes to the Mouth!"

Instantly, three beams of yellow, pointed beams, each about half a person's height, were released toward Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, seeing that familiar light, instinctively dodged to the side.

However, unlike the straight-line attack of "Hado No. 88: Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Thunderous Cannon", these three huge, pointed yellow beams of light, as Binding Paths, have the ability to automatically pursue.

"Bang bang bang!"

To Doflamingo's astonishment, the three beams of light suddenly changed direction, striking his arms and abdomen respectively, pinning him to the ground.

Feeling the strong sense of restraint, Doflamingo struggled continuously.

Even though Doflamingo was extremely strong, the solid yellow beam of light still pinned him firmly to the ground until Doflamingo manipulated the wave of light to sweep across, shattering the three sharp beams of light.

However, this was merely foreplay.

Using the brief moment he gained, Yann truly began his first full-fledged Binding Spell practice.

"A thunderous carriage, the gaps in a spinning wheel, this object where light gathers and splits into six!"

"Binding Spell Sixty-One: The Six-Staff Light Prison!"

As Yann's chanting ended, six light plates suddenly appeared in six directions around Doflamingo, who had just stood up. They closed in the instant before Doflamingo could react, imprisoning him inside.

"Ugh, you bastard..."

Doflamingo struggled against the strange binding ability once again, and also tried to manipulate the waves of threads to destroy "Binding Spell No. 61: Six Staff Light Prison".

However, compared to the "Three Flashes of the Mouth" which abandons the chanting, the "Six Staffs of Light Prison" which was strengthened by Yann's complete chanting was much more solid and had a greater binding ability, and for a time it was impossible to break free.

And Yann's next chant continued.

"A wall of iron sand, a pagoda shaped like a monk, gleaming iron, serene and ultimately silent!"

"Seventy-five of the Binding Dao: Five pillars of iron!"

Suddenly, five heavy iron pillars appeared out of thin air above Doflamingo and then slammed down on him, pinning his head and limbs to the ground.

At this moment, coupled with the "Binding Spell No. 61: Six-Staff Light Prison" sealing off his body, even though Doflamingo kept manipulating the waves of lines to wash over the light plates and iron pillars, the suppressive effect remained unshaken.

Only then did Yann feel slightly relieved.

Of course, Yann also knew that these binding spells could not completely trap Doflamingo. Under the onslaught of those terrifying waves of lines, both in terms of cutting force and impact, Doflamingo would be able to break free in no time.

However, that's enough!

Arn's expression turned slightly serious, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to chant the offensive Kido taught by "Zanpakuto: Mirror Flower Water Moon".

"A faint, murky emblem, an untamed and arrogant talent; a surge of negation, paralysis, a fleeting moment, hindering eternal slumber..."

"The crawling iron princess, the clay doll that constantly harms itself, combines, rebounds, and extends to the ground, realizing its own powerlessness!"

"The Ninety of the Broken Dao: Black Coffin!"

Instantly, Ahn felt the spiritual pressure within his body dissipate like a flood, which was used to support the formation of this Kido technique.

This is a Kido of the 90th level, and in terms of offensive power, even the Bankai of many Zanpakuto cannot reach this level.

The terrifying power of the black coffin was such that it once defeated the original owner of the "Soul-Slaying Blade - Heavenly Punishment" after abandoning the incantation and reducing its power to one-third.

The next instant, as Doflamingo abruptly shrank into the image reflected in his pupils, a deep, chilling darkness enveloped him, centered on him.

From a distance, it looked as if a black coffin had appeared with Doflamingo at the center.

After a few breaths, the black coffin gradually dissipated, revealing the situation inside.

The original purpose was to prevent Doflamingo from interrupting Yann's long chanting of "Hado No. 90: Black Coffin".

The "Six Staffs of Light Prison" and "Five Pillars of Iron Piercing" were also intended to prevent Doflamingo from dodging in advance using his Observation Haki. They were now riddled with holes and in terrible condition, as if they would break at any moment.

Doflamingo, standing still in his pink feather coat, looked frustrated and weakly raised his hand towards Yann, as if he wanted to say something.

In an instant, a large amount of blood spurted out from all over Doflamingo's body, like a blood-red flower in full bloom.

"boom!"

Doflamingo's tall body collapsed heavily to the ground, his life force rapidly fading away.

"Is he really dead?"

Yann looked at Doflamingo's corpse from a distance with some suspicion.

If we follow Aon's philosophy, when faced with a corpse that must be killed to prevent the secret from being leaked, Aon would have to finish it off with a "Bankai: Suzumebachi Raikouben" to completely dissolve the entire corpse before he could feel at ease.

However, this duel with Doflamingo was an unexpected event, and Yann had no chance to prepare at all.

With so many people witnessing it, Yann knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had defeated Doflamingo, and that the Navy would definitely examine Doflamingo's body afterwards.

When the time comes, Yann will naturally have to find a way to explain the wounds on Doflamingo's corpse.

After all, Yann was just a harmless user of the "Sakura-Sakura Fruit" ability.

That is why Aon chose "Hado No. 90: Black Coffin" as his final attack method.

The injuries caused by the "Black Coffin" are somewhat similar to those caused by the "Soul-Slaying Blade: Senbonzakura".

Otherwise, why would Yann need to go through all that trouble to unleash "Hado 90: Black Coffin"? He could have just released "Bankai: Suzumebachi Raikouben" and shoved it into Doflamingo's mouth to finish the job.

However, when facing a terrifying man like Doflamingo who possesses "Conqueror's Haki," necessary inspection measures are still indispensable.

Immediately, Yann raised his hand, and more than ten cherry blossom swords disintegrated into cherry blossom petals, which then flew towards Doflamingo.

"I guess this is... the flower presentation segment!"

Yaen murmured to himself.

The cherry blossom petals also created numerous wounds on Doflamingo's corpse, completely blending in with the wounds inflicted by the "Black Coffin."

Throughout the entire process, Doflamingo showed no signs of coming back to life.

After presenting the flowers, the next simple thing... is to bow!

"Sting all enemies! Suzume-wa!"

As the word of liberation rang out, a magnificent finger guard appeared on Yann's finger.
