“Impossible… The difference… How could it be so vast?!”
Doflamingo’s cheeks twitched violently. Unable to accept reality, he suddenly curled his fingers again.
String-String Berry Awakening — Activate!
The next moment, the surrounding floor, walls, and ceiling transformed into endless white threads.
“Violent White String!”
Tens of thousands of white threads surged out from all around Doflamingo. Under his full control, they charged towards Caine like surging waves.
Caine stood motionless, allowing the massive white wave to engulf him. The tough threads, like constricting anacondas, wrapped around him layer by layer, tightening and firmly constricting his body.
“Bastard, who are you looking down on?!”
Caine’s almost dismissive attitude completely ignited Doflamingo’s fury. He completely broke down, pushing the String-String Berry’s ability to its limit.
“Be crushed!”
The massive white thread mass suddenly contracted inward.
“Young Master succeeded!” Trebol’s face instantly filled with ecstasy.
No one could escape the Young Master’s fatal blow!
He had personally witnessed the Young Master use this move to take out dozens of people at once.
However, Doflamingo’s ferocious expression suddenly froze. He found that he couldn’t seem to tighten the white threads at all.
No! The white threads were still expanding outward!
Doflamingo gritted his teeth, veins throbbing on his forehead. He desperately activated his ability, trying to strangle Caine within.
But, it was futile.
Even though Doflamingo used all his strength, the white thread mass continued to expand outward at a steady rate.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
The sound of threads breaking suddenly came from inside the mass.
Puff! Boom!
The massive white thread mass exploded like a burst balloon, shattering with a roar.
Countless broken threads shot out in all directions, revealing the unharmed Caine inside.
Only now, Caine had already transformed into his Rayquaza Beastman form.
“Just with brute force… he broke free of my Violent White String…”
Doflamingo’s pupils constricted violently, his worldview collapsing with a crash.
“Rejoice, Doflamingo, you successfully forced me to use my Berry ability.”
Caine grinned, his smile full of mockery.
The next second, Caine vanished from his spot.
A dark, gleaming Dragon Claw instantly shot out, firmly gripping Doflamingo’s head, and slammed him down with force!
Bang!
Doflamingo’s back of the head made intimate contact with the ground.
Dust and gravel flew from the ground.
“Wah!” Severely injured Doflamingo’s red sunglasses shattered, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a large crater several meters in diameter, centered on Doflamingo’s head, appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“The farce is over.” Jack said calmly.
“As expected of Big Brother Caine!” Page One’s eyes showed admiration.
“Hmph, wouldn’t it have been better to just attack earlier? Why play around for so long.” Ulti crossed her arms.
“Lord Caine is so handsome!” Speed’s eyes sparkled.
On the other side, the Donquixote Family executives all had expressions of disbelief.
This was their invincible Young Master, a man destined to stir up the world’s winds and clouds in their eyes!
How could he be defeated by an unknown person?
And, so easily.
The shock of the family executives didn’t bring Caine any satisfaction.
He had long anticipated such a battle outcome.
Or rather, if he couldn’t end the battle with one strike, it would be unscientific.
Was Doflamingo weak?
Of course not. Although his Shichibukai position was obtained through a bug, being able to develop his Berry to the awakening stage already proved his talent.
With his current strength, he could hold his own in the Beasts Pirates, roughly at the upper level of the Flying Six.
But this level of strength was not enough to catch Caine’s eye.
Even without mastering advanced Haki techniques, the powerful stats Rayquaza provided him were enough to make him stand among the world’s strong.
In terms of physical body alone, he was not inferior to King, who had the Lunarian bloodline buff.
It was just that without mastering Armament Haki’s internal destruction, he could only rely on skills to grind down health in battle.
Being able to contend with King, dealing with a mere Doflamingo was naturally a piece of cake.
Caine slowly released his hand, extended two index fingers, and used Doflamingo’s blood to pull up the corners of his mouth.
A clown’s iconic smile was complete!
“Hmm, that’s better. A clown should look like a clown, right?”
Caine admired his art for a while, then looked at Doflamingo’s broken sunglasses, suddenly remembering a hotly debated topic from his previous life—what did Doflamingo’s eyes actually look like?!
No sooner said than done!
Caine directly took off the red sunglasses.
“Pfft—Pwahahahahaha!!!”
Ulti instantly doubled over with laughter, tears almost streaming from her eyes.
Page One turned his head, shoulders shrugging, trying hard not to make a sound.
Jack, who had been stern-faced and fierce, now had his facial muscles twitching wildly.
“It really is… a surprise…”
Caine’s expression was a bit subtle.
Doflamingo’s eyes beneath his sunglasses were surprisingly small, only half the size of a normal person’s.
If they were just small, that would be one thing.
But paired with his arrogant and sinister face, the contrast was instantly maximized.
At this moment, Caine could completely understand why Doflamingo wore sunglasses year-round.
With that face and those eyes, how could he establish authority in front of his subordinates?
Click!
Caine pulled out a Den Den Mushi and took a direct photo of Doflamingo.
“Perfect!” Caine happily put away the Den Den Mushi.
Heheheh, Doflamingo, you wouldn’t want this photo to be spread around, would you?
“Bastard! What are you doing! Hand over the photo.”
The incompetent husband Trebol yelled, but his body dared not approach a step.
The strong boss Caine shook his index finger: “Hand it over? No, no, no, I’ll hold onto this secret for his entire life.”
“Caine is smiling too evilly, making us look like villains.”
Ulti snorted.
Page One weakly spoke: “Sister, I think we are villains.”
Jack, however, quite agreed with Caine’s actions.
The strong should have absolute disposal rights over the weak. Even if it’s abuse, the weak must obediently accept it!
“Damn guy!”
Pica clenched his fists, immediately about to activate his ability and fight Caine and the others.
Jack’s gaze sharpened. He directly pulled out a scimitar from behind his cloak and said coldly, “Still not convinced?”
The over eight-meter-tall Jack looked down at Pica, his arrogant attitude as if he regarded him as a chick that could be easily flattened and kneaded.
Diamante hurriedly stopped Pica, telling him to calm down.
Caine’s casual strike directly shattered the beautiful dreams of the Donquixote Family executives.
The Young Master was no match for Caine in a single exchange; if they went up, it would just mean Caine moving his hands a couple more times, not even enough to entertain him.
Doflamingo lost consciousness. As the temporary backbone, Trebol had no choice but to step forward, smiling fawningly, “Lord Caine, why don’t we move to another hall and let us properly entertain all of you?”
He knew in his heart that if the other party truly wanted to kill the Young Master, they wouldn’t have done those extra things.
Since they still had value, then they would continue to negotiate.
It was just a matter of how much to concede.
As long as they were alive, there was still hope for everything.
