Chapter 553

A cloud of dust flew wildly into the air.

An incredibly luxurious casino…

Now,

It had been reduced to an unrecognizable, chaotic ruin.

Dilapidated,

Desolate.

Heart-stopping to behold.

That glittering, opulent casino,

At this moment, had become a complete ruin.

More than two thousand pirates who failed to escape the casino, including over three hundred members of the Donquixote family, were now missing, presumed dead beneath the collapsed building.

If nothing unexpected happened,

The more than two thousand people buried under the casino ruins were likely doomed.

"N-not gone…?"

"Our casino is gone."

Torreble, who had fled the casino, turned back to gaze at the desolate ruin before him, his eyes glazed, his mind dazed, his face filled with confusion and grief.

This casino had always brought the Donquixote family countless profits!

Unfortunately,

Today, it had been destroyed.

Their greatest source of profit had been personally buried by someone!

Naturally, this left them heartbroken.

To establish the casino's fame in Devil's Town, they had poured in countless costs and resources in the early stages.

No one could have predicted.

In just a few short years, just as the casino's business was booming, it had suddenly been reduced to ruins.

"As long as the young master is safe, the casino can be rebuilt if it's destroyed."

"But if the young master is harmed…"

"Then we truly have nothing left."

Pica took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner pain, and couldn't help but remind them.

"You're right."

Torreble and Diamante quickly calmed their grief, their eyes filled with anxiety, fixed on their young master's battered body.

Doflamingo had been beaten too badly!

They couldn't believe it.

One day,

Their own young master, Doflamingo, would be completely dominated and beaten by someone!

The most terrifying part was,

The mastermind behind beating their young master…

Was just a five-year-old brat!

"Fist Demon Lu En, this monster is too strong."

"He sank the entire casino with a single blow!"

"If the young master hadn't dodged that punch, I can't even imagine what the outcome would have been."

Diamante's throat was dry, his face pale.

Hearing this,

Torreble and Pica were equally moved and shaken.

"Even someone as strong as the young master, if struck by that world-shaking punch from the Fist Demon, would likely suffer catastrophic injuries on the spot."

"The Fist Demon is too strong!"

Torreble was still trembling with fear.

"You needn't worry too much."

At this moment, Pica said confidently, "Don't forget, the young master hasn't yet used his final technique. That means it's still too early to declare a winner."

"Once the young master goes all out, it'll be the Fist Demon Lu En who gets beaten down!"

"Next…"

"Let's wait and see."

With those words spoken,

Torreble and Diamante's eyes lit up, their gazes filled with intense excitement and anticipation.

As for their young master Doflamingo's secret weapon…

They knew it all too well.

Many years ago,

They had already witnessed Doflamingo's ultimate technique!

Now,

Since the opponent hadn't yet unleashed his ultimate technique, it meant their young master still had a chance—actually, a very high chance—of victory.

"Young master… can win!"

At this moment,

Dust-covered Doflamingo, upon seeing the casino collapse with a roar, fixed Lu En not far away with an icy glare.

This casino in Devil Town was the Donquixote Family's largest current source of income.

It was the Donquixote Family's biggest money-making business!

But right now, today,

it had been destroyed.

Which meant…

The Donquixote Family's largest source of income — that road had been cut off!

As the saying goes.

To cut off a man's livelihood is no different from killing his parents.

One can well imagine.

How furious Doflamingo was feeling at this moment.

He wished he could tear Lu En into a thousand pieces.

After a long pause,

Doflamingo's expression flickered between dark and light, and he spoke coldly to Lu En: "To be able to push me to this extent, I admit, you really are quite remarkable."

"Ever since I set out to sea all these years, there has never been anyone who could push me to the brink of despair."

"And yet, you did it."

"I admire your strength."

"But from here on, I assure you, you're dead!"

"Quan Mo Lu En, you don't think my strength is only at this level, do you? Then I have no choice but to tell you with regret — I'm about to go all out for real! Today, I will definitely kill you!"

Seeing this (Li Hao),

Lu En's eyes flashed, and he laughed with great interest: "Finally going to bring out your trump-card ultimate technique? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Go ahead, let me see it properly."

"The legendary…"

"Awakened Devil Fruit — just how strong is it!"

"Don't you dare disappoint me."

He knew.

Next…

would be the white-hot stage of their battle!

Because,

Doflamingo was clearly going all out!
