Chapter 56

Luo Xing's hand never stopped, and he slapped Doflamingo across the left cheek.

Puff!

Doflamingo's entire cheekbone seemed to shatter; he spat out blood flecked with several teeth, his body flying away like a torn sack.

Everyone's eyes widened.

If Luo Xing's black sword wave had caught Doflamingo off guard earlier, causing him injury,

then just now, despite Doflamingo launching the attack himself, he was still utterly crushed.

The two sisters behind the Empress drew a deep breath and exclaimed:

"What is that black armor flowing on his hands?"

Ma Erke, nearby, heard and said:

"It should be what's called Ruying in Wano Country—that is, what we normally refer to as Haki. But this is an advanced application of Haki, capable of bypassing outer defenses to strike directly at the body's interior."

Ma Erke, familiar with Kiyoshi, naturally knew of Ruying, and his eyes darkened with Solemn.

"I never expected this Beast Imperial Son-in-Law has mastered Ruying so proficiently!"

Mastering Ruying proficiently means even his own Phoenix body would be injured by this man!

Yet,

what came next made him even more Solemn, even turn pale.

Luo Xing walked step by step toward the flung-away Doflamingo; with each step, his aura grew stronger.

Even the mighty Qingshao and Yilizabiel Ershi felt dizzy and disoriented.

Qingshao gasped: "This is Conqueror's Haki!"

Qingshao possessed Conqueror's Haki himself, but compared to what Luo Xing now radiated, it was like fireflies challenging the full moon.

Crack!

A massive boulder shattered under the pressure.

At this, even the Pirate Empress and Katakuri changed expression.

Such overwhelming Conqueror's Haki had already surpassed the two of them!

Lachry of the Red Hair Pirates opened his mouth wide, whispering as if he'd seen a ghost:

"Conqueror's Haki that causes direct physical damage? I never imagined anyone besides the captain could do this!"

Red Hair was called the man with the world's strongest Conqueror's Haki precisely because his Conqueror's Haki could cause direct physical damage.

And Luo Xing possessed this same Conqueror's Haki!

Doflamingo's swollen cheekbone, now like a mountain mound, had lost its earlier rage—only fear and shock remained.

He could never have imagined that Luo Xing, who had always hidden his strength, was this terrifying!

Advanced Armament Haki Ruying, Conqueror's Haki that causes physical damage!

Even Doflamingo, who had consumed Monster Cells, could never achieve this!

Doflamingo even had the illusion that the enemy he faced now was the strongest creature, Kaido of the Beasts.

"Why… I don't believe it—I'm a Celestial Dragon!"

Doflamingo went mad, refusing to accept reality.

He struggled to his feet and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without restraint.

Unfortunately, before Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki, it was as insignificant as a stream.

Doflamingo, consumed by rage, nearly went insane.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto Luo Xing as he approached.

"Even if I die, I'll take you with me!"

"Let you see my ultimate technique—the awakening of my Devil Fruit!"

60, the Imperial Deputy also gasped in shock—Haki wrapping!

Fu Zi Fu headed straight for the Smile Factory.

On the way, he made a phone call.

"Hello, Runti, Pejiwan, you can bring your people over now and take control of all of Dressrosa."

"Remember, do not harm any civilians—that's the Imperial Son-in-Law's order!"

Although Luo Xing had brought only Fu Zi Fu and Galot to the island, he had long ordered Runti and Pejiwan, the brother-and-sister duo, to lead two hundred Fuzhe Legion troops and one hundred Fur Tribe warriors to coordinate outside Dedao.

He intended to seize complete control of Dressrosa with the speed of Lei Ting, at this very moment.

So that other factions, especially the Marines and the World Government, would have no time to react.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Zi Fu arrived at the Smile Factory.

There, he encountered another top executive of the Donquixote Family: Pika, the user of the Ishi Ishi no Mi.

"What are you doing here? This is a forbidden zone!"

Pika, still completely unaware, shrieked in a shrill voice.

Fu Zi Fu sneered: "With a voice that thin, are you some kind of sissy?"

"What did you say, bastard!"

Pika hated most of all being called a sissy.

He raised his fist and swung it at Fu Zi Fu.

At the other end.

Upon receiving Fu Zi Fu's call, Runti and Pejiwan rushed without pause, arriving at Dressrosa at top speed.

After landing, they left the civilians unharmed but slaughtered every member of the Donquixote Family.

In an instant, the entire Dedao was thrown into chaos, everyone in terror.

The commoners didn't know what was happening, their pupils filled with terror.

Peggy Wan, who had long since received Luo Xing's instructions, raised his megaphone and shouted loudly:

"Citizens, please do not panic! Our Beasts Pirates are here to save you!"

"Doflamingo has been acting like a tyrant in Dressrosa, committing every evil under the sun, turning people into toys on a whim—today our Beasts crew will carry out heaven's justice!"

Whether the citizens believed it or not, the dwarves certainly did.

Dressrosa bears the nickname 'Land of Passion and Dwarves'—the so-called dwarves refer to the tiny folk who live on Green Bit next to Dedao.

The tiny folk are simple-natured by birth and extremely trusting of others.

Hearing Peggy Wan's words, they immediately jumped up with joy.

"Oh oh, the Beasts crew are really great people! They've come to punish the villain Doflamingo!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, I'm so moved I could cry—after all these years, someone has finally come to save us!"

"Let's go, let's go help the Beasts Pirates!"

And so, a wondrous scene unfolded.

As the Beasts crew attacked and killed members of the Tang Jihede family, a group of tiny folk followed behind them.

Don't be fooled by the tiny folk's small stature—they are immensely strong and incredibly fast.

Moreover, they knew the terrain of Dressrosa intimately and voluntarily led the way for the Beasts crew, saving them a great deal of trouble.

Peggy Wan grinned from ear to ear, never expecting that a few slogans could produce such a miraculous effect.

In his heart, his admiration for Luo Xing's foresight grew a hundredfold.

Inside a certain house.

The Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Mouse, who was hiding here, turned pale with shock.

His earlier unease had come true—Dressrosa had indeed been plunged into great chaos.

But he never could have imagined that the source of this chaos was the Beasts crew, who were allied with Doflamingo.

And the Beasts crew's objective was actually to seize Dressrosa!

It was simply unbelievable!

He dared not delay, hurriedly reporting this earth-shattering news to Fleet Admiral Zhan Guo!

……

The Wang Gong of Dressrosa.

Viola, despite her shame and anger at the time, still followed Luo Xing's instructions and brought her niece Rebecca home.

After all,

this was something she had always wanted to do but never dared to—and that man only needed a single sentence.

After aunt and niece Viola and Rebecca recognized each other, they naturally fell into each other's arms weeping bitterly.
