One Piece Talent System Chapter 197-201

"Off White(Shield White String)!"

Doflamingo waved his hands and the earth surged like a wave, blocking Ross's fists coming towards him.

Bang!

The fist fell and the line of distortion collapsed.

Doflamingo folded his arms in front of him and displayed Armament Haki to resisting the aftermath of the power of distortion, then picks his finger and the string behind Ross slammed toward him.

Originally, A String Devik Fruit User is good at air warfare, but in front of Ross, air warfare is obviously a foolish tactic. Doflamingo abandoned air warfare completely when he realized that Ross was faster in the air than he was, and turned to ground warfare with the power of awakening.

"Tekkai (Iron Body) punch!"

The fist of the Division Captain slammed toward Ross. The powerful force behind the punch made a wind pressure and turned it into a huge fist, which went to the back of Ross.

Ross waved off Doflamingo's string attack and then shoved it out before turning around and breaking the Division Captain's long-range punch and then he turned back and continued to attack Doflamingo.

Now only one CP0 Division Captain is left against him, because when Doflamingo's abilities awakened, the gap between their strength became very small, and the two of them are basically wasting their fighting power, so the other one begins to deal with the other Ghost Hand Pirate members.

After he used his devil fruit awakening powers, Doflamingo was only slightly weaker than Ross and add a Division Captain with him, the battle was stagnant for a time.

On the other side.

With Donquixote Family's many cadres and top cadres working together and one Division Captain assisting, the three giants and Law and Robin's offensive could be stopped.

The situation is gradually turning in favor of the Donquixote Family.

"It's beyond my expectation for you to have such a strong fighting force, but my subordinates aren't newbies either, fufufu…"

Doflamingo teamed up with a CP0 Division Captain to deal with Ross. Although he was slightly inadequate, he was able to support and noticed the situation on the other side. He could not help but send out a sneer, trying to influence Ross's mind.

However.

At this moment, Ross has already entered the state of Spirit Heart and his emotions are completely unaffected by foreign objects.

His entire figure is like a miniature version of Whitebeard, dashing and crashing. Even Doflamingo's full awakening shield white string line can only block Ross for the time being.

Buzz!!

Distortion light burst out, temporarily affecting Doflamingo. Ross punched and broke the shield white string line and caused Doflamingo to fly out.

The blow almost stifled Doflamingo's bizarre laughter in the middle, causing him to fall apart in pink feathers and a little blood spilled from his mouth again.

"Your laughter is terrible, so stop laughing."

Ross regains his fist with indifferent eyes and breaks through the interference of the CP0 Division Captain with a backhand blow and charges into Doflamingo again.

Doflamingo's face turned a little black, with a faint look of anger. His hands waved violently and numerous strings converged, turning into ten very thick spikes, with the purple Armament Haki covering their tips.

"Don't be too arrogant… God Thread!"

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

The holy bullets that were condensed burst out in an instant and rushed towards Ross, covering all of Ross's dodge routes.

Ross was not afraid. He stepped forward and the Power of distortion was activated. He grabbed several white lines and pulled them hard on both sides. The Tenacious thread was torn apart by the rigid Distortion.

The Battle is still going on.

While Doflamingo was concentrating on fighting Ross with all his might, a strange force suddenly swung away from Donquixote's Underground area and instantly swept across the island.

Underground factory.

Laffitte stood there in a black cape, laughing and not far away from his lay Sugar with foam in her mouth caused because of her fainting, Trebol stood near Sugar with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

For the war against the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa, a careful plan had been drawn up as early as in the beginning. All the members of the Donquixote Family and almost all of their fighting powers were listed by Ross and he made detailed plans for the war.

So to speak.

Everything that happened so far is within the expected range!

If you know everything about the Donquixote Family and know all the Doflamingo hidden cards and you still can't do this then it's just questioning the IQ of Ross, Robin, and others!

"You are…Demon Sherrif Laffitte!"

Trebol had an angry and panicky look on his face. He had no idea that the Ghost-Hand Pirates would know about Sugar and would target her.

This is a big trouble!

Dressrosa, the country of pirates, or the country of toys, has always been a symbol of light, and the government has supported the legal plunder of it by a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which can suppress all public opinion.

But.

Once the darkness hidden in the light is exposed, this so-called achievement will turn into a huge scandal, which can not only destroy the status of Doflamingo Seven Warlords of the Sea in an instant but also seriously damage the prestige of the government!

On the ground.

The exotic power gushing out after Sugar fainted has no effect on Ross and others, but it changed all the toys who are forgotten human beings. One by one, they are restored to their original shape.

"What happened?!"

Doflamingo's Kenbonshoku (Observation) noticed this and his face changed instantly.

The CP0 Division Captains also perceive the changes on the island and reveals a strange expression, toys are human beings, even they did not know that.

After being turned into toys, everything about them will disappear from everyone's memories, Sugar can be said to be the deepest hidden card of the Donquixote Family.

"It seems that my subordinates aren't newbies either."

Ross calmly threw back Doflamingo's words at him.

Doflamingo suddenly turned his head and looked at Ross. The pupils under the sunglasses contracted violently. His face became very ugly and his heart was shaken.

There's no doubt about that. It's Sugar!

For the sake of safety, Trebol was sent to protect Sugar secretly and not to participate in the Battle. It was only for the sake of safety but unexpected, something really happened.

But.

How did Ross know about Sugar's secret?

Doflamingo is no longer as calm as before. Once something happens to Sugar, Dressrosa's dark screen will be instantly exposed to the whole world. The influence of public opinion will put great pressure on the government and they will definitely cancel his Shichibukai identity.

The series of consequences that have been triggered are almost unimaginable.

"This must not be exposed at any cost!"

Doflamingo gritted his teeth in anger and his face became extremely depressed and various thoughts flashed through his mind and he finally showed a touch of decisiveness.

Even if this island is completely destroyed and everyone is wiped out, the darkness of this country of toys cannot be exposed to the whole world!

"Birdcage!"

While blocking Ross's attack, he moved his hand and lifted it toward the sky.

The earth instantly surges with a bunch of white strings and they converge toward the sky and then divides into numerous silk lines and like an umbrella, they covered the whole island!

"Doflamingo, what are you doing?!"

The Division Captain's face changed. He didn't know about sugar, but he knew about the ability of birdcage because Doflamingo had used it before.

Doflamingo said coldly: "Everything here must not be exposed. You should be very clear about this. Even if you ask Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) now, you will definitely get the same answer!"

The Division Captain blinked a few times.

That's right.

If any dark deed done by any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is exposed then it will indeed cause huge damage to the face of the government. The Seven Warlords of the Sea has signed a treaty with the Government which means that everything done by them shows that the government is behind them.

 The government will do everything in its power to stop the spread of the scandal that can harm them and cover it up. If it can't be stopped, they will definitely use Buster Call to bury all scandals on the seabed!

"Birdcage……"

Ross looked up at the sky, at the birdcage that covered the entire island of Dressrosa, and a trace of light flashed through his eyes.

Everything, including this step so far, has been done in perfect accordance with his expectations. Doflamingo is just one of the purposes of this trip, and another is to let the government and Marine know.

What will it cost them to force him into becoming a pirate!

Almost immediately after the bird's cage covered Dressrosa, several figures came out from a boat that had been docked on the shore somewhere in Dressrosa.

"It has finally begun."

"Captain is a genius, He even predicted this situation…"

Kaku and others looked at the island, which was covered by various lines, and could not help but take a deep breath.

It's time to work!

In the next moment, several people took out the video Den Den Mushi and went to different places using Geppō (Moonwalk) and some ran along the shore of Dressrosa.

The birdcage can sever all the radio waves inside the island, which is the ultimate method for Doflamingo to cover everything, but it has a small problem, that is, it has no effect on the outside of the island!

Now, several people switched on the video Den Den Mushi to record the events, at the same time.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Kalifa opened the image Den Den Mushi…

The Kingdom of Sith.

Blueno turned on the image Den Den Mushi…

Fleetland island.

A Sky islander opened the image Den Den Mushi…

There are seven or eight large islands surrounding Dressrosa and they are prosperous area, everything that happened in Dressrosa, it was projected there.

Even special screens were set up in some islands such as Sabaody Archipelago by Kalifa to receive the signal directly banned to show the live scenario, so anything that will happen in Dressrosa can be instantly viewed here!

"Look, what is that?"

"What a strange image, this… What is this?"

Many civilians saw the image and at first, they found these images strange but they soon saw the innumerable scenes of slaughter and fighting in the streets of a birdcage-like island.

From toys turning into humans, the ordinary civilians and scouts from various forces and even members of the Revolutionary Army, Marines, and the government people fell into chaos at the moment they watched the scenes from the Den Den Mushi.

"It looks like Dressrosa!"

"That country of toys? How could it be like that?"

Countless people look at the projected pictures with stunned faces. They have seen this country countless times in the newspapers and it was full of sunshine and joy-filled the streets and now it has become such a hell.

Like a stone falling into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves!

In just a few minutes, these projections began to spread all over the world. This time, the scope was too wide. By the time the World Government responded, it was too late.

This is the so-called enthusiastic and passionate country? The country which is developing very fast under a perfect pirate?

"God…"

"What the hell are the government and Marines doing!"

Numerous people clenched their fists, some showed anger, some showed fear, and some were at a loss. This effect was spreading to the whole world.

Marine Headquarters.

"Damn It!"

Sengoku looked at the incoming picture and punched the table in front of him causing it to crack. He shouted angrily: "Who can tell me what kind of foolish thing Doflamingo is doing?" Hasn't Kizaru arrived yet?!"

At the same time, the top level of the World Government, Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) faces also became ugly to the extreme. Such a picture is broadcast all over the world. It's like stepping on the face of the government and crushing it for a few feet!

Even if Doflamingo is destroyed and even if the Ghost Pirates become twice as powerful to any Yonkō (Four Emperors) force. It is still nothing in the eyes of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars).

But.

The impact of such an event can be described as unprecedented and it is almost the worst situation that has happened since they came to power!

The losses are not measurable in terms of combat power anymore. No one would have thought that Dressrosa was hiding such darkness in it. What's more, the Ghost-Hand Pirates announced all this in a live broadcast to the entire world!

Ross's phrase "you're five idiots" some time ago, is just like the sole of a shoe now that is slapping their faces hard at this moment.

How can they salvage the situation?

The five people almost began to think about how to salvage the situation in the first place, but this kind of event that has spread so wide is not something they can cover up by simply arranging some lies.

"Idiots! Cut off all the signals right now!"

"Five… Sir Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), this event is being broadcasted on many islands at the same time. We can not cut off all the signal at the same time!

There was an trace of anxiousness on the face of government officials.

The Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) bit his teeth: "Then cut them off one by one, let the Marines also move out. Make sure that the impact is kept to a minimum range!"

At this moment.

The broadcast picture began to become more and more wicked, Doflamingo had tried to slaughter the entire island to cover up the truth. The CP0 of the government subordinates also assisted him and even the Vice-Admiral Vergo, who represents the Marine side, is assisting Doflamingo in his massacre.

"Let CP0 and Marine stop for the time being."

"No, no signal, we have no way to contact them."

Doflamingo's birdcage now completely isolates the interior of Dressrosa, making the two Division Captain, and the Marines unable to hear the government's orders and signals, and they do not know that everything is being broadcast to all over the world!

They are still in a bloody massacre of unknown origin.

At that moment, an official rushed over with panic on his face and said, Not good, the broadcast was also found in Kel Island!" And Nicot Island!"

"What?"

Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) faces changed again. It has been ten minutes since the incident broke out. As a result, the broadcast has not been fully disconnected and it is growing and spreading.

"It's the Revolutionary Army, That bunch of bastards!"

A curse escaped from the mouth of a high-level government official.

At this time, not only the Revolutionary Army but also those who are oppressed by the government and hate the government, are all too keen to seize this opportunity, such as this kind of thing that can cause serious damage to the government without any hard work, why not seize it?!

In a short period of time, the scope of broadcasting not only failed to be contained but grew larger and larger, spreading to the world as the more time passed!

The whole battlefield of Dressrosa is in front of the world.

Facing the world!

Inside the Birdcage.

Except for Ross and his people, nobody knows what's happening right now. The current events are being broadcasted all over the world, whether it's Doflamingo, CP0 or Vergo, everyone in the World is watching them without them even knowing about it.

“I don't know where you got this information, you know the secrets of Dressrosa, Ghost Hand Ross…  But in that case, we can only completely bury this secret on this island!”

Doflamingo spoke in a cold voice, waved his hands and the whole street turned into innumerable white silk strings, sweeping madly towards Ross.

Boom!

Ross was suspended in mid-air, and with a backhand wave, the white strings were disturbed by the power of distortion.

“It's almost time.”

Not telling Doflamingo what happened, nor telling CP0 what happened, because Ross now doesn't care about all the enemies on this island.

What he wanted was a wave that will spread all over the world, striking fiercely on the face of the World Government and Marines. Since they claim to be just, he will completely open up the dark side of the so-called justice.

“Distortion, sonic explosion!”

Ross's eyes shimmered in the light, and the sound exploded.

Almost instantly, the loud hoarse sound exploded in the ears of Doflamingo and the CP0 Division Captain, making both of their eardrum Buzz and causing them to get dizzy!

Ross dived down towards Doflamingo and before he arrived, his fist wrapped in the power of distortion fell in midair.

Buzz!!

The air was hit and getting a Distortion shape, the fist slammed down.

Under the influence of sonic boom, Doflamingo could not control the ability of string awakening. He could not defend against Ross's strike with a white shield line. He could only lay his arms on top of his head and use Armament Haki on them in an attempt to resist Ross's attack.

But.

Doflamingo wasn't able to resist Luffy in his fourth gear with Armament Haki alone and Ross's current attack power is even stronger than Luffy's fourth gear!

Bang!

The earth under Doflamingo's feet suddenly collapsed.

Blood flew from his mouth and his whole body was slightly distorted, he crashed into the bottom of the pit he created.

“Damn it!”

CP0 Division Captain got rid of the impact of the sonic boom and saw this scene and was surprised. Although he doesn't know what happened to Doflamingo, that was a really heavy blow!

Diamante was aware of the crisis and tried to rush in to help, but was forcibly stopped by Kyros, who had rushed out of the darkness and had changed from a toy to a human figure.

The other Division Captain tried to rush over, but he was attacked by Hajrudin and was contained in midair and could not get rid of Hajrudin's speed.

As for Vergo and others, they are farther away and have no time to support.

“Cough…cough!”

At the bottom of the pit, Doflamingo's Sunglasses showed signs of fragmentation. He coughed violently and bled constantly from his mouth.

He didn't expect Ross to have such strength to make him use Armament Haki to resist a blow and he also did not expect to receive such injuries from Ross's attack even after he used Armament Haki.

“Shield white string!”

Watching Ross dive down from the sky, Doflamingo takes a breath and displays the white shield string and at the same time, he also used the spider's web, a double defense against Ross's attack.

At the same time, he exerted the ability of string fruits to repair his injuries and temporarily restrained and replaced his Distortion muscles with strings.

Bang! Bang!

Ross's fist fell and the white string shield collapsed in half, another fist fell and the white string shield collapsed completely, followed by a footfall, the innumerable cobwebs of the spider's web showed a terrible distorted shape, sinking towards the bottom of the pit, and then one by one the tension broke off.

The CP0 Division Captain tried to come and help, but Ross shook him off with a backhand punch.

He did not have the ability to block Ross in a positive way. Only when Doflamingo blocked Ross, he was able to make some involvement by virtue of his physique and speed.

Whiz!

Doflamingo grabbed his finger, cut the line off the ground near him, flew from one side and fled to the distance, bringing the speed to his limit.

Ross's Kenbonshoku (Observation) had already perceived Doflamingo's escape movement and he calmly followed him, chasing him all the way.

It's not easy to completely defeat and kill someone at Doflamingo's level, if he wants to escape, Even a Marine Admiral won't be able to stop him much less killing him.

But.

Now in the interior of the birdcage, coupled with his injuries, Ross's airspeed is no less than his and the escape conditions are not available, where would he escape to?!

“That is…Doflamingo!”

"And Ghost Hand Ross!"

The civilians of Dressrosa, at this moment, saw the crazy escape in the sky, Doflamingo was using his strings to trap Ross and trying to escape his pursuit but behind him, Ross was unstoppable, wherever any string hit him, it was broken by Ross.

By this time, everyone knows the truth behind Dressrosa, and the highly popular Doflamingo has become the embodiment of evil and demon.

“Kill Doflamingo!”

“Hurry up and end it all…”

Looking at the approaching birdcage, many civilians were angry, crying and praying.

Nearly seven hours have passed since Ross and his party boarded Dressrosa to fight Donquixote Family. The result is that Doflamingo is completely defeated and Donquixote Family is in a festering defeat.

“If you want to escape, you have to remove the birdcage, but if you remove the birdcage, everything here will be made public, and you will lose Donquixote Family and all your status.”

Ross followed Doflamingo in the air and continued to pull closer and said with a cold voice and his words affected Doflamingo's mind.

Doflamingo was also aware of the situation and he was grinding his teeth constantly, he did not expect Ross to push him to this level, but in his view, there was still hope.

As long as a Marine Admiral can arrive on time!

“…”

Seeing that words could hardly affect Doflamingo, Ross stopped talking and caught up calmly. After a blow broke the thread of Doflamingo's defense, the aftermath of the power of distortion finally reached Doflamingo's back.

Doflamingo staggered in the air, bleeding again from his mouth. He flew forward and crashed through a building. He forced a change of direction and continued to escape.

Whiz! Whiz!

Ross is well aware of Doflamingo's current state. If he takes at most one attack like that, he will lose the ability to escape. If he takes two more strikes, he's basically not far from death.

Keeping up with Doflamingo and walking through the streets, Ross kept breaking through the cobwebs made by Doflamingo and drew closer and punched out again.

Boom!

Doflamingo's entire body slammed forward and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth. This time he was finally unable to escape and his figure swayed as he fell to the side.

At this time, Deoflamingo landed near the edge of the cage, and the center of the cage was shrinking here.

He stumbled to the ground.

But when he landed, he was stunned as he took an inadvertent glance, because the cage had been contracted for a long time, and there was not much room left and he can see everything that is happening outside the cage.

Just outside the birdcage, he saw a figure walking in the air using Geppō (Moonwalk), holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and recording something in the direction.

Doflamingo stared.

He is a person who is good at strategy and calculation. Almost instantaneously, a terrible thought came into his mind. Does it mean that everything about Dressrosa is being broadcasted live?

Ross slowly fell behind Doflamingo, glanced outside the birdcage to look at Kaku who is holding the video Den Den Mushi and his gaze returned to Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's expressions were stiff as he turned his head a little bit and looked at Ross.

If, from the beginning to this moment, even though he had completely lost the chance to escape, he still had no fear of Ross, then when he realized that everything in Dressrosa had been recorded by the Den Den Mushi outside the cage, a trace of fear finally arose in his heart.

How could this be!

This is not about the gap in strength anymore, but it is as if every step he took was already anticipated by Ross and he prepared counters for those steps, his plans were completely seen by Ross from head to toe and anything he do will become Ross's further design!

It is as if in the course of the game with his opponent, he found that every move he took was designed by his opponent, and everything that happened from beginning to end is within his opponent's calculation!

"You……"

Doflamingo's body is stiff and his heart is cold.

The only person who can make him feel this way is Great Staff Officer Tsuru of Marine Headquarters, that is the reason he turns his head every time he sees a crane, because in the past he was almost beaten and killed in his confrontations with her, each and every step he took were accurately predicted by the other.

Now, there's one more person like this and that is Ross in front of him!

"Looks like you've found something. Unfortunately, you are almost finished, and then it's time to contribute your final role."

Ross gazed calmly at Doflamingo, stepping forward with a knife-like arm, slanting toward Doflamingo.

Doflamingo has already lost his ability to resist.

Siii!

With a power of distortion knife, Doflamingo's head was cut off in an instant, rolling down to the ground not far away, and the pair of sunglasses broke.

"Seven Warlords of the Sea, 'Heavenly Yaksha'' Doflamingo, has been hunted and killed, earned a reward, 25 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point."

Listening to the synthesized system sound coming from his ear, Ross breathed in his heart. Although there was not much proficiency, he got one Free Talent Point and it more than made up for all the preparations.

With Doflamingo's death, the birdcage that covered the entire Dressrosa quickly dissipated, and the scene was clearly broadcasted to all over the world.

Kaku watched the birdcage dissipate and took a video to Den Den Mushi and flew closer to Ross.

Ross saw the nearby Kaku and looked at the video of Den Den Mushi. He knew that the footage recorded by Den Den Mushi should be broadcast live to the world.

He looked calm.

"You should know everything about Dressrosa."

"But what I want to say is that I am not a savior… It's just that I can't get used to the fact that some people get away with these things, so I'll make the darkness public."

"That's all."

With such a sentence, Ross turned and disappeared into the ruined streets.

Kaku and others did not close the video Den Den Mushi, but looked at the ruins of Dressrosa, found several better locations on the ruins, fixed the video Den Den Mushi that will now continue to record the follow-up Battle situation of Dressrosa without them.

On the chaotic battlefield in front of the palace, the Den Den Mushi rang on the bodies of the two CP0 Division Captain as soon as the birdcage disappeared.

"What did you say?!"

Hearing the words coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, their faces hidden under the masks changed instantaneously, only to feel a sense of coolness pouring on their bodies from head to toe as if they had been thrown a basin of ice water.

As the Division Captains of CP0, they are naturally aware of the consequences that will follow by making this whole thing public.

This is probably a real hit on the World Government in 800 years!

"The birdcage has disappeared…"

On the other side, Vergo, wearing the justice cloak of Vice-Admiral, Marine Branch, watched the disappearance of the cage in the sky, and his heart sank. He knew what the disappearance of the cage meant.

At this time, the Den Den Mushi on his body rang.

In silence, he received the Den Den Mushi, and a cold voice with repressed anger like a volcanic eruption came from the other side.

"Do you know what stupid thing you did? Vice-Admiral Vergo!"

After hearing the news from the other side of Den Den Mushi, Vergo was just like the CP0 Division Captains and others and he instantly felt ice running from his head to toe.

Even if Doflamingo is defeated, as long as they are all alive, there is still a chance to make a comeback with the identity of an original tenryubito and the core of the Dark World trade.

But.

If everything that happened in Dressrosa is made public, then Doflamingo will be completely finished. The government would not be able to tolerate such events at all!

With the government's style of action, they are bound to push the matter out of ignorance and all onto Doflamingo, in order to save the face of the government as much as possible.

"It's over."

Vergo was standing still in the same place, and he knew that this time it was completely over.

Dressrosa's Battle continues. Ross spends almost a third of his stamina against Doflamingo. After killing Doflamingo, Ross took part in the battle against the Donquixote Family.

After receiving the news from the government, the two CP0 Division Captains gave up on the Donquixote Family decisively and escaped one step ahead of time.

Sneer!

Laffitte's mahogany cane penetrated Trebol's heart, and their Battle ended up narrowly victorious by Laffitte, who himself suffered minor injuries.

He gasped for a moment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and watched Trebol fall to the ground, his smiled slyly and picked up Sugar who had not yet woken up.

On the other side.

With the loss of two CP0 Division Captain, the remaining members of the Donquixote Family were totally unable to resist the attack of Hajrudin and others, not to mention the attacks done by Ross.

After a short while, only two or three Donquixote main family members were left and the other cadres were basically dead and wounded.

Whiz!

Ross's figure flashed past, and Happy Spring in his hand cut across the Rock Giant Pica. His Observation Haki accurately captured his physical position and killed him.

With the death of Pica, the Donquixote Family was completely defeated.

Both Road and Stansen recovered their original form and their bodies were filled with many injuries. The strength of Donquixote Family's cadres and the highest cadres were still of a certain level. Even though they had very high defense, they could not remain intact under siege with an enemy.

As for Hajrudin, his injuries were much lighter and he was only slightly injured. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is close to invincibility, but not completely invincible.

There is almost no completely invincible Devil Fruit in this world.

"Captain Ross, what you want is brought."

Just after Ross killed Pica, Laffitte came out of the rubble, carrying a small box with legitimate carrots in it… The Hobi Hobi no Mi ability user Sugar.

"Good job."

Ross sensed Sugar's situation and nodded at Laffitte, Sugar's ability can still play a big role in some cases.

Last time, he also wanted to capture Perona for this reason but that was interrupted by Aokiji. He doesn't know if she was caught by Marine or went someplace else. This time, he will not lose Sugar.

After Law confirmed Doflamingo's death, the hatred in his heart finally dissipated, but he was not confused nor lost as now he had only one identity, Ghost Hand Pirates Surgeon of Death.

"Ross, the Dwarves Race found this."

Robin came up from a distance and there was a little blood on her shoulder but the injury was not serious. She was the only one on the ship who occasionally called Ross by his first name.

Walking next to Ross, Robin took out a delicate Devil Fruit.

"Barrier-Barrier Fruit?"

Ross looked at the exquisite Devil Fruit, which consisted of a small layer of bi-colored barriers and his mind flashed as he immediately thought of something.

Robin nodded and smiled: "It should be something that Donquixote Family got and haven't had the time to give it to anyone."

"It was the right choice to kill Doflamingo."

Ross slightly smiled, now Hajrudin and other giants have increased their experience of actual combat and he also got the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, plus Sugar, it can be said that their overall strength has increased dramatically.

However.

Now is not the time to stay and count the harvest. A Marine Admiral is likely to arrive at any time. Dressrosa is still a place of right and wrong and is under the World Government. At least for the time being, they can't occupy it as their place.

"It's time to go."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ross nodded and immediately ordered the evacuation and a group of people quickly retreated toward the area where their ship was located.

Kaku and others have already taken the lead.

But when a group of people crossed the ruined street and quickly retreated toward the coast, something that Ross expected but was not a good thing happened.

Buzz!!

The brilliant golden light cut across the horizon, from Dressrosa's shore with the incredible speed as it shuttles towards the ruins of Dressrosa, rushing to catch up.

Marine Headquarters Admiral, Kizaru!

"You go first."

Ross's face remained unchanged when he saw the golden light coming towards him. Kizaru was bound to arrive here sooner or later with his speed, but as long as he had killed Doflamingo, it was already too late.

Now, he is no longer the same person he was in the Sabaody Archipelago. At that time, it was necessary to use the ability of sonic boom to make a short-lived fight with Kizaru.

But now, even if the odds are low for him to win, if he wants to retreat then Kizaru won't be able to stop him.

"Then we'll withdraw first, Captain. Be careful."

Laffitte and others are very aware of the gap between them and a Marine Admiral and now it is not the time to fight with a Marine Admiral. Everyone except Ross has been injured and their stamina consumption is also very serious and they are temporarily unable to support a second battle.

Hajrudin and other giants wanted to support Ross, but eventually, they pulled out.

Whiz!

Kizaru tried to go straight ahead of the crowd and stop everyone, but Ross's figure flashed as his Observation Haki caught Kizaru in advance and blocked him.

The 25 Talent Proficiency points that Doflamingo provided were decisively put to Observation Haki by Ross.

To deal with Kizaru, Kenbonshoku (Observation) is more important and with the addition of 25 points, his Kenbonshoku (Observation) proficiency has reached 125 points and he is basically at the same level as a Marine Admiral and he can capture Kizaru's movements more clearly.

"Really, can you stop tossing around like that, ghost-handed pirate regiment…"

Kizaru, who was stopped, frowned, his tone was still the habitual and wretched voice, but his face was very depressed.

Killing a tenryubito!

Killing Shichibukai Doflamingo!

Broadcasting the Dressrosa event to the world!

Every single one of these things is worse than other and not to mention him, even Sengoku has to be severely reprimanded by the Five Elder Stars and has to take some responsibility.

Ross looked at Kizaru and said in a calm tone: "Then let me ask you, why did the Marine and the government frame me, I just wanted to be an ordinary Pirate Hunter."

Ordinary Pirate Hunter? Kizaru reveals a look that said 'stop kidding me here'.

"When you were in the Sabaody Archipelago, you made me lose a lot of face. If I don't catch you this time, I really won't be able to explain this to the World Government."

Kizaru knew that Ross was delaying the time, but he did not try to bypass Ross to chase Laffitte and others and slowly said.

Whiz!

Just as his voice fell, Kizaru took a step forward and kicked Ross in front of him with a golden swing of his legs. The speed was so fast that the average person could not even notice what had happened.

Even today, Ross still couldn't reach this level of speed, but his Observation Haki can perceive it ahead of time.

Boom!

Ross folded his arms in front of him, blocking Kizaru's kick and the power of distortion stiffened the laser explosion.

Then Ross kicked back, his leg wrapped in the power of distortion, to Kizaru's waist.

Kii!

Kizaru's body instantly became golden light, then he condensed on the right side of Ross, his fingertips flashed and he shot four or five lasers with explosive power towards Ross.

Ross looked calm and punched back with his backhand.

Bang!!

With a violent sound, the laser exploded and Kizaru and Ross both retreated and withdrew from the envelope of the aftershocks.

This seemingly equitable short encounter, but it makes two people's moods have a completely different change.

Ross is relieved. He has determined his power of distortion. It is indeed at the level of a Marine Admiral, enough to make a frontal collision with it, and will not fall into any major disadvantage.

Kizaru is shocked.

He was amazed at Ross's strength and speed.

He was sure that Ross was far from as strong as he is now in the Sabaody Archipelago. In just over half a year, Ross's strength had soared to this extent.

How did he do it?
