Chapter 281

However, very quickly,

Sakazuki adjusted his mindset.

After all,

Conqueror's Haki below Advanced level cannot achieve Conqueror's Coating, so it can only be used to clear out the small fry.

"What a lively scene." Sakazuki said in a deep voice: "Pirates, go die! Meteor Volcano!"

A massive volley of giant magma fists bombarded the Straw Hat Pirates, the power so terrifying that even Doflamingo and the others were shocked!

Tesoro even suspected......

Could Doflamingo have been lying to him?

The way this guy attacks, like an ally?

"Fwoooosh—"

A raging storm materialized out of thin air, actually taking on a tangible form to block the giant magma fists, and with a wave of Dragon's hand, all of them reversed course and bombarded toward Tesoro, Doflamingo, and the others.

"What!"

"Impossible!"

"Dodge, quick!"

In the end, it was Tesoro who dissolved part of the Golden Giant and forged it into a golden wall to shield everyone.

At this moment,

Doflamingo and Tesoro were absolutely certain—these two definitely had something fishy going on!

Never seen such perfect teamwork!

It's said......

Sakazuki and Dragon were classmates from the same year, right?

"Admiral Akainu, you'd better be careful." Tesoro said through gritted teeth: "It doesn't matter if something happens to us, but there are Celestial Dragons aboard the Dressrosa. If something happens to them...... The three CP0 agents shouldn't want to see that, right?"

The lion CP0 who had just attempted to suppress the Straw Hat Pirates with Conqueror's Haki was currently half-kneeling on the ground, catching his breath.

The falcon CP0 spoke up: "Admiral Akainu, please move the battlefield outside the Dressrosa."

"I don't take orders from you CP0 bastards!" Sakazuki roared.

Then he charged straight at Dragon, magma and gale winds raging around them. The aftershocks seemed to splash about without pattern, but Dragon always managed to spare a hand to redirect everything flying toward the Straw Hat Pirates back at Doflamingo and the others.

And Sakazuki clearly had no intention of protecting a Warlord of the Sea, the Golden Emperor, or CP0.

"Sakazuki! Are you really planning to be held accountable by the Celestial Dragons?" Tesoro raged.

"That straw hat kid is Dragon's son, of course he'll protect him everywhere. Are you my sons?" Sakazuki furiously shot back.

Then he threw another punch at Dragon, who raised a hand and used a hurricane to blow away a massive amount of magma, which erupted like a volcano and engulfed Doflamingo.

"Army Banner!"

Donquixote Family executive Diamante used the powers of the Fla-Fla Fruit to turn the surrounding ground into a light, cloth-like form, flipped it up, then canceled his ability, turning it into a shield to intercept the erupting magma.

"Sakazuki!" Doflamingo raged: "If you keep doing this, I will definitely expose the secret between you and the Straw Hat Pirates to the world!"

Sakazuki's gaze sharpened!

Just as he thought!

Caesar had still been tipping off Doflamingo, exposing their alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates!

"Tesoro, Doflamingo." The lion CP0 stood up and said calmly: "We CP0 don't care about your personal grudges, but Nico......"

Negotiating conditions on the battlefield like this?

Sima Di also laughed.

"Quite confident." Sima Di stepped back: "Then...... all of you, stay here!"

【String-String Fruit!】

【String-String Fruit Awakening!】

【Birdcage!】

Sima Di directly copied Doflamingo's ability, firing a massive amount of threads into the sky, which scattered like a heavenly maiden's flowers and fell toward every direction of the Dressrosa, caging everyone inside like a birdcage.

And Sima Di had also made an improvement,

making the gap between each thread no more than ten centimeters—anyone who isn't a Logia user can forget about escaping.

And the reason for using this move......

was precisely because the Birdcage's threads can block electromagnetic waves and wireless signals, preventing those inside from using Den Den Mushi to send signals to the outside.

This left Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family executives utterly astounded!

"Impossible? That's clearly the Young Master's ability......" Trebol said in disbelief.

"Is this the Word-Spirit Fruit? It can even mimic Devil Fruit Awakening......"

"How terrifying!"

Doflamingo's face darkened. He never expected Sima Di still had this move.

Clearly, the last time he used this Birdcage was still at......

Doflamingo looked at Law, then suddenly laughed.

"Fuffuffuffu—Law, looks like you found yourself a good teammate. Planning to use my old methods to settle the score with me?"

Law also hadn't expected Sima Di to have this trick up his sleeve, but he clearly wasn't going to explain it to Doflamingo.

"Hmph! Today you shall die without a doubt!"

"Fuffuffuffu—That remains to be seen!" Doflamingo said confidently: "Sakazuki, Dragon, Sima Di, you don't want your relationship exposed, do you? I've already instructed my subordinate—if I don't return within half a day......"

"He will hand the backup phone recording directly to the press!"

"In just three hours, the whole world will know......"

"The newly appointed Marine Fleet Admiral Seeing Kuzan, and the Admiral Sakazuki, are actually colluding with a pirate crew and the Revolutionary Army!"

"It will surely be quite a spectacle then, won't it?"

"Hehehehehe—"

With these words, he had laid bare the relationship between the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and the Straw Hat Pirates.

The officers of the Donquixote Family, unaware of this, along with the three CP0 agents, all had their faces darken!

This is bad!

If 943 hears this secret...

"Sakazuki!" the Lion CP0 said coldly, "Have you truly betrayed the Marines, betrayed Justice, and betrayed the World Government?"

Since it has come to this...

Sakazuki stopped pretending!

"Hmph! Does the World Government represent Justice?" Sakazuki said disdainfully, "The Celestial Dragons are the cancer of this world! If they are not eradicated, pirates will never disappear, and Justice will never descend!"

"Foolish!" the Lion CP0 roared, "Can you guarantee the Revolutionary Army won't become the next Celestial Dragons? The Marines and pirates cooperating is simply laughable!"

Sakazuki snorted, no longer intending to answer the CP0's words.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Dragon, his tiger-like eyes fixed intensely on Doflamingo.

"Doflamingo, I have wanted to kill you for a long time; today you are doomed!"

"Hehehehehe—Are you truly not afraid I will expose your intelligence?" Doflamingo acted with boldness born of confidence.

He was certain Sakazuki would not dare to expose them now.

Otherwise,

even if they had obtained the Golden Emperor's wealth, before the Marines completed their reform, a single order from the World Government would cause the New Marines and the Marines to consume each other internally; how much would remain by then would be unknown.

For the greater good...

they all had to endure!

As expected,

Sakazuki merely let out a sharp snort but did not rush to act; instead, he looked at Sima Di.

"Aren't you highly intelligent? Think quickly on how to resolve this now!" Sakazuki urged.

Good heavens!

Just like Luffy,

he throws the problem directly at me when he encounters one?

Dragon also cast an interested glance, preparing to see how Sima Di would resolve this thorny problem.
