Chapter 179: Seven Warlords of the Sea Hawk-Eye Rebels!

Without a doubt.

Doflamingo is an ambitious man who has done every evil deed imaginable.

He seized Dressrosa through dirty and despicable means, enslaved the commoners, and engaged in all sorts of illegal activities like drug and human trafficking; there is no evil he will not commit.

However, this cannot mask Doflamingo's advantages.

His cruelty and cunning toward enemies, his willingness to stop at nothing to achieve his goals, his disregard for traditional concepts of right and wrong—once he has made a decision, he dares to bet everything on it.

Just like now,

Doflamingo has emptied the Dressrosa Kingdom he spent countless years managing, daring to bet it all within the Samsara Game.

Even Fang Yi cannot help but admire his boldness.

It is indeed as those Donquixote Family executives said: Doflamingo possesses the qualities of a king, not just Conqueror's Haki, but also the mettle of an overlord.

"Apologies, Mr. Doflamingo."

A Haijunzhibu Rear Admiral, with a stern face, blocks the tall figure attempting to approach the Lord Monster 【Soul-Snatching Envoy】.

This is the highest order from Marine Headquarters.

Bang.

Answering the Haijunzhibu Rear Admiral is a thick Strangling Whip.

The Haijunzhibu Rear Admiral is struck by the Strangling Whip; his skin and flesh are instantly sliced, blood spurts out, and then, like fragile pancakes, his muscles and bones are severed, his entire body cut in half at the waist.

"Doflamingo!"

A suppressed low growl escapes Sengoku's throat.

Killing a Haijunzhibu Rear Admiral in public—this is a complete break with the Navy, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Tokikake, you, along with Gion and Higaruyama, take the Marine Headquarters forces and surround Dressrosa!"

"Inform the World Government that the Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo's Seven Warlords of the Sea status is revoked!"

According to standard procedure, revoking a Seven Warlords of the Sea title requires first applying to the World Government and waiting for their decision.

But now, Fleet Admiral Sengoku says "inform," which is enough to show he is angry to the extreme.

The high-ranking Navy officers present exchange glances; no one raises an objection.

At this moment,

After finishing his microtransactions, Doflamingo has completely unsealed all his real-world abilities.

There is a very clear gap in strength between Devil Fruit abilities.

Various Logia fruits and Mythical Zoan fruits are judged by the Samsara Game as Purple Quality.

Doflamingo's String-String Fruit, or the Jacket-Jacket Fruit, and Chopper's Human-Human Fruit are only Blue Potential.

On the current Death Island,

Some players have already mastered Purple Skills; in terms of grade, Doflamingo does not hold an advantage.

However,

His String-String Fruit has already been developed to the Awakened state, which counts as Lv. 19 within the Samsara Game.

Even if the quality is slightly weaker, he can still defeat other opponents with a crushing posture.

Not to mention, he also has Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

"Run, it's a devil!"

The Navy soldiers are in a panic; they discover their bodies are no longer controlled by their brains, weirdly raising their swords and guns to attack their own people.

Like mowing grass, the joint army formed by several Haijunzhibu is torn to pieces.

"Stop that!"

Wearing a Marine cloak, the adjutant Bogart draws his Blade, and with a Jiangji imbued with Armament Haki, he directly cuts the thin strings controlling the Navy soldiers.

His expression is grim;

It is not just the Navy soldiers being slaughtered by Doflamingo; the other Haijunzhibu soldiers blocking the Nobles and Pirates are also being beaten back step by step.

Even after rushing to several battlefields, he cannot reverse the trend of the Navy's crushing defeat.

"Bogart, is it? You think you can stop me with just you?"

Doflamingo looks disdainful, his five fingers spread, waving his claw-like palm.

Thin strings, sharper than a Blade, pierce through Bogart's chest.

The Haijunzhibu soldiers, who had just felt a glimmer of hope,

Are instantly shrouded in despair once again.

"Navy, Pirates?"

"I am the invincible existence on this island now!"

Doflamingo laughs weirdly, stretches his palm toward the sky, and countless fine white strings shoot into the sky.

The sky drops curtain-like white strings, covering the entire Ghost City like a Birdcage.

The ground is slowly plowed with a deep mark,

And the Birdcage begins to shrink gradually.

"How arrogant, do you think you can contend with everyone?"

The resurrected Bogart steps on a tilted courtyard wall and fiercely swings his katana to slash over.

Bang.

The Strangling Whip easily pierces through Bogart, causing him to fall into a resurrected state once again.

"How is this possible!"

"Mr. Bogart is the adjutant to the Hero Vice Admiral; even at Marine Headquarters, he is an expert, a Sword Master!"

The Navy soldiers let out desperate screams.

Boom.

A violent aura spread out with Doflamingo at the center, instantly knocking all the surrounding Navy unconscious.

"Conqueror's Haki, as expected, your strength has been completely unsealed!"

Hawkeye's gaze was sharp as he looked at the Birdcage shrouding the Ghost City and the Conqueror's Haki that had knocked out the Navy.

"You don't have the qualifications to talk to me right now, Hawkeye!"

The Five-Colored Strings arrived suddenly.

Clang.

Hawkeye held his Black Blade horizontally with both hands, blocking the cutting of the Five-Colored Strings.

The heavy force pushed him back continuously, his feet carving marks into the ground.

"I have no interest in playing with you; the winner of this Hunting Lord battle will only be me!"

The Mechanical Puppet Green-Scaled Eagle flapped its wings, caught the leaping Doflamingo, and flew toward the sky where the Soul Reaper was bound by chains.

"How could I let you have your way?"

The lottery qualification for Hunting Lord monsters is guided by Fate Runes according to the player's wishes.

In other words,

If Hawkeye could kill the Soul Reaper, there was a high probability he could draw a reward related to Jiangdian.

He absolutely could not hand over the opportunity to comprehend a higher level of Jiangdian.

Rip.

A Jiangji of green flame tore through the air, condensing into a hideous skull shape, filled with Ghost Qi, and flew toward the Mechanical Puppet.

The Sword Seed within his body, nourished by constant cultivation of the Bimang Sword Art, had already transformed to possess the 【Nether Green Flame】 attribute.

This was a core killing move derived from the Sword Qi Seed,

Nether Green Flame.

In that world where Jiangdian is supreme, it is a raging ghost fire capable of stirring the netherworld, able to burn an enemy's body and soul.

A Jiangji possessing an attribute had completely surpassed the strongest in the Pirate World.

"Hawkeye, it seems you also have great ambition, wanting to get the first kill on the Soul Reaper?"

Doflamingo's expression was grave; he could feel the chilling aura of this Jiangji, which was bone-chilling.

Several Strangling Whips collided with the Jiangji,

The Nether Green Flame burned,

Burning the Strangling Whips into ashes.

"It is indeed a very strong Jiangji, but the level is too low."

Several more Strangling Whips were unleashed,

Not intending to block the Jiangji, but rather consuming it in a suicidal manner, finally wearing the Jiangji away just as it was about to touch the Mechanical Puppet.

"Goodbye."

Watching Doflamingo fly out of the attack range of the Jiangji,

A change finally appeared in Hawkeye's sharp gaze,

It was indeed as the other party had said.

Although the 【Nether Green Flame】 cultivated from the Bimang Sword Art was of Purple Quality and could easily tear apart the white strings created by the String-String Fruit.

But unfortunately, Doflamingo had exhausted all of Dressrosa's assets to force an exchange for his full reality-based abilities.

His four-dimensional attributes and skill levels all surpassed his own.

The scales that tip the balance of battle are not just skill quality, but also skill level, four-dimensional attributes, and Energy Value.

"My current Energy Value is no longer enough to release the Nether Green Flame a second time."

Hawkeye frowned deeply, very unwilling to be restricted by the game shell and unable to exert his full strength.

However,

He did not have the habit of hoarding assets, nor did he have Doflamingo's influence to provide him with massive assets.

Rumble.

The Green-Scaled Eagle piloted by Doflamingo was intercepted by the combined efforts of Garp and Dragon.

"It looks like there is still plenty of time."

Hawkeye suddenly turned around and rushed out of Death Island at extreme speed.

He even used a 【Spirit Wind Talisman】, a fate item purchased from the Game House that could increase movement speed for a short time.

In a few minutes,

He left Death Island, boarded the Coffin Ship burning with ghost fire candles, and exited the range of the Trial Tower.

Losing the confinement of the Trial Tower,

Hawkeye felt the power surging continuously within his body,

He turned his head to look at the Pirate ships and Navy that had not yet obtained the Contract Fruit and were observing around Death Island.

Boom.

Two Jiangji burning with Nether Green Flame directly snapped the masts of two Navy Warships, preventing them from escaping.

"Hawkeye, what are you trying to do?"

A moment ago it was Doflamingo, now it was Hawkeye.

Sengoku was so angry that his breathing became rapid.

Ignoring the voice of the Fleet Admiral inside the Den Den Mushi, Hawkeye decisively swung his Black Blade, knocking all the Navy into the sea.

"Exchange, Navy Warship."

Hawkeye stepped onto the deck of the Navy Warship, and the exchange menu appeared before his eyes.

【Player has acquired ownership of 【Navy Warship (Advanced)】, which can now be exchanged for a price of 3000 Reward Points.】
