"Your opponent is me."
Bai Yu spoke calmly, a hint of amusement flashing in his dark eyes.
"Don't rush to save your men. Watch closely as your proud family members disappear one by one before your eyes."
He deliberately slowed down his attack, not immediately killing Doflamingo, but instead using his absolute strength to suppress and toy with him.
Each attack shattered Doflamingo's threads at just the right moment, scratching his skin without harming his vital organs. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he toyed with this arrogant descendant of the Celestial Dragons.
Meanwhile, the fighting below continued.
Mahbais attempted to suppress Unohana Yachiru with the Gravity Fruit, but she grabbed his ankle and slammed him into the ground, creating a crater tens of meters deep in the stone slab, shattering his internal organs.
Deringer charged forward, waving his claws with lightning speed, but Unohana Yachiru grabbed his neck and with a gentle squeeze, broke his cervical vertebrae, killing him instantly.
Gladius's Blast Fruit exploded wildly, but it couldn't even break through her body. In the end, he was pierced through the chest by a knife and blown to pieces.
One after another, members of the Donquixote Family met their tragic end at the hands of Yachiru Unohana, right before Doflamingo's eyes.
Blood stained every inch of the palace square. The wails gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of Unohana Yachiru wiping the blood from her fingertips with a light laugh, and Doflamingo's heavy breathing due to extreme anger and fear.
"No...it's impossible...my family...my executives..."
Doflamingo was covered in wounds, his pink feather coat was tattered, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with madness and despair. He wanted to rush down to help, but he was firmly trapped by Shiraha's Susanoo and could not move an inch. He could only watch helplessly as his life's work was completely destroyed.
Bai Yu stood on the forehead of Susanoo, looking down at Doflamingo who was like a trapped beast, his calm voice carrying a hint of coldness:
"You are attempting to manipulate the king, slaughter the people, and seize their homes, countries, and loved ones through despicable means."
"Now, how does it feel to watch your trusted confidant die before your eyes?"
Unohana Yachiru stepped over the corpses scattered on the ground and slowly walked to Shiraha's side. She regained some of Unohana Retsu's gentleness, but still carried an undissipated ferocity.
"Bai Yu, get rid of all those annoying little bugs."
Beneath her feet lay the corpses of the Don Quixote family, strewn across the ground.
Before her stood Doflamingo, in despair and on the verge of collapse;
Behind her were Violet and King Riku, both grieving and in tears, and Robin and Kanna, who were unharmed.
The moonlight still shone on the palace, but it no longer possessed its former gentleness; only blood and a chilling atmosphere remained.
Bai Yu slowly raised his hand, the sharp edge of the Totsuka Sword aimed at Doflamingo trapped in Susanoo, without the slightest hesitation.
"No, I can't die, my dream hasn't come true yet... How could you do this so easily..."
Doflamingo was devastated. He couldn't understand how his elite family members, whom he had trained for many years, and himself could be so easily and ruthlessly defeated.
Doflamingo lay limp within the confinement of Susanoo, blood streaming from his wounds. His pink feather coat was torn to shreds, and his former arrogance had vanished, leaving only the panic and resentment of facing death.
Bai Yu looked down at him, his dark eyes devoid of any pity. His cold voice pierced the deathly silence of the square, each word like an ice pick piercing Doflamingo's heart.
"Do you think you can run rampant in the New World just because you have the String-String Fruit and your Celestial Dragon status?"
"You shouldn't even be able to withstand a full-force attack from a naval admiral, yet you dare to flaunt your power in front of me, attempting to control a nation and slaughter the innocent. This arrogance is the root of your self-destruction."
"In the face of true power, your so-called underground empire and family influence are nothing but bubbles that burst at the slightest touch. The gap between you and the top experts is like that between a firefly and the bright moon, and can never be crossed."
Doflamingo's pupils contracted sharply. His strength and confidence exposed, he panicked completely. He struggled and roared, pulling out his last straw:
"Wait! I have a deal with Kaido of the Beasts! I'm his weapons supplier. If you kill me, Mr. Kaido won't let it go. You'll be hunted down by the strongest creature in the New World! Spare me, and I can give you even more benefits, more than in Dressrosa!"
Upon hearing Kaido's name, Bai Yu's face remained completely expressionless; instead, a cold sneer appeared on his lips.
"Kaido?"
"You think bringing him up will make me spare your life?"
“I despise you, a clown who survives by despicable means, along with him and you. Using him to threaten me is utterly ridiculous.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu didn't hesitate for a moment. The Totsuka Blade in Susanoo's hand burst forth with brilliant spiritual light, carrying the power to crush all evil, and slashed straight down.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a clean and decisive slash.
The once invincible Donquixote Doflamingo, like a stray dog trampled to death on the roadside, was completely annihilated on the palace square by absolute power, leaving not even a trace behind.
The threads controlling King Riku shattered completely, and the old king collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. His empty eyes gradually regained their clarity, and as he looked at the pool of blood on the ground and his own blood-stained sword, tears streamed down his face.
Violet threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears, releasing all the pent-up fear, despair, and relief of surviving the ordeal.
Retsuya Unohana suppressed her murderous aura and returned to her gentle and calm demeanor, though the bloodstains on her fingertips spoke of the carnage that had just transpired.
Bai Yu dispersed his Susanoo and landed on the ground. He reached out and helped the father and daughter, who were embracing and weeping, to their feet. The nightmare of Dressrosa finally came to a complete end tonight.
In the following days, Bai Yu and his group stayed in Dressrosa to help King Riku and the people clean up the bloodstains in the square and rebuild the damaged palace and streets.
The once chaotic capital city gradually regained its former vitality. The sweet aroma of flowers and desserts once again filled the air. The people spontaneously took to the streets to bow and thank Bai Yu and his party, regarding them as heroes who saved the country.
Violet had shed her princess-like naiveté and gained a more composed and gentle demeanor. She personally managed the trivial matters of the palace and spent all her free time by Bai Yu's side, taking him to every beautiful spot in Dressrosa. Her eyes were filled with undisguised gratitude and admiration.
As night fell once more over the capital, Violet changed into an elegant purple gown, the hem embroidered with the national flower of Dressrosa, making her look gentle and captivating.
She gently knocked on Bai Yu's door, carrying homemade desserts and fruit wine, and stood side by side with him on the palace terrace, looking at the city's dazzling lights.
A gentle evening breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and tenderness as Violet softly expressed her love for her hometown and her gratitude to Bai Yu. Moonlight bathed the two of them, casting long shadows.
There was no clamor, no bloodshed, only the tranquility of surviving a catastrophe, and the gentle emotions quietly growing in one's heart, flowing silently in the night of Dressrosa.
Robin and Kanna slept peacefully in their guest room, while Retsu Unohana sat in the courtyard enjoying tea. The entire palace was immersed in peace and warmth, and the bloodshed and despair of the past had long been completely covered by the hope of new life.
Violet's slender fingers gently caressed the rim of the crystal glass, and the amber-colored fruit wine inside rippled with delicate shimmering light under the moonlight.
She tilted her head back and drank the last sip of sweet wine, a faint blush rising on her cheeks like blooming rose petals.
"The night view here is beautiful."
She placed the empty cup on the carved railing, her purple skirt swaying gently in the wind, revealing half of her fair, jade-like ankles.
"Does Baiyu-kun know? The legend of Dressrosa says that kissing your beloved on the night of the full moon will bring you eternal happiness."
She suddenly turned around, stood on tiptoe, and got closer to that sharply defined profile.
The scent of roses mingled with the aroma of wine, and soft lips gently brushed against the corner of his mouth.
A night breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers gently caressed the terrace, and Violet's hair swayed softly with her movements, casting dappled shadows in the moonlight.
Her eyelashes fluttered like startled butterfly wings, and her breath carried a slightly intoxicating sweet fragrance.
The long chimes of the distant clock tower startled the nightingales perched atop the palace spire.
The sound of birds flapping their wings cut through the silent night sky, and a few feathers swirled and drifted down onto the railing between the two people.
"Feel sorry..."
Violet stepped back half a step and stepped on the hem of her skirt, nearly knocking over her wine glass.
Her slender, white fingers frantically gripped the stone railing, her nails gleaming like pearls in the moonlight.
"I might have...drunk a little too much..."
The fountain in the courtyard suddenly splashed water, wetting Unohana Retsu's long hair. She raised her hand to catch the splashing water droplets, her gaze thoughtfully drifting towards the high terrace.
The moonlight reflected on the water flowed between her fingers like a shattered Milky Way.
Violet's blush had spread from the tips of her ears to her collarbone, and she unconsciously clutched the lace decoration on her chest.
All those carefully prepared words of confession melted on the tip of her tongue, leaving only the rapid beating of her heart in her chest.
Night dew clung to her eyelashes, then suddenly fell with a blink.
No sooner had Violet finished speaking than Bai Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her head.
His slender fingers ran through her soft hair, pressing her against him with irresistible force.
Her gasp was swallowed by the sudden kiss, the sweet scent of fruit wine still lingering between their lips and teeth.
The moonlight cast shadows on his deep features, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down with each swallow.
Violet could feel his other hand sliding down her waistline, pinching the soft flesh of her thigh through the thin fabric of her skirt.
The rustling sound of fabric rubbing together was particularly clear on the quiet terrace.
"Ugh...!"
Her back slammed against the cold stone pillar, the carved patterns digging painfully into her skin.
Bai Yu's knee forcefully rammed between her legs, while his hands roamed over her soft flesh.
The night wind suddenly turned scorching hot, and Violet felt as if her blood was boiling.
She instinctively gripped Bai Yu's collar, the silk fabric crumpling in her palm, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
Violet's voice was barely audible, drowned out by their intertwined breaths.
The moonlight outlined the man's taut jawline, and his usually indifferent eyes were now burning with a flame she had never seen before.
The potted plant in the corner of the terrace was knocked and shook, and dewdrops rolled off its leaves.
Violet's neck pressed against the rough stone wall, the coolness seeping into her back through her thin clothing.
She couldn't help but flinch, only to be met with even tighter restraints.
The fountain in the courtyard had stopped flowing at some point, and the moon reflected on the water was broken into shimmering spots of light.
"Mr. Bai Yu..."
Violet's voice trembled, and her eyes were misty.
Her hands, which she tried to push away, were easily held, and she felt a slight pressure on her wrists.
The moonlight gilded the overlapping silhouettes with silver edges, and the two shadows merged into a blurry mass on the stone wall.
The night breeze swept across the terrace, carrying fallen rose petals, a few clinging to Violet's sweat-dampened temples. Bai Yu's thumb gently stroked her burning cheek, a gesture almost cruelly tender.
She could hear her own heart pounding, like a hummingbird trapped in a cage.
"Scared?" A deep voice brushed past my ear, sending a slight shiver down my spine.
As Violet shook her head, strands of her hair brushed against the tip of his nose, carrying the scent of violets from her shampoo.
"I...I just..."
Her voice trailed off as a hand suddenly slipped under her skirt.
The silk petticoat made a soft rustling sound, and the temperature on my fingertips was more intense than I had imagined.
