Chapter 224: Arc 14: The Two Dragons Clash!


"Bellamy!" Luffy stopped the gravely injured pirate lying on the ground.

"Do you care about him?" Doflamingo mocked. "I thought the two of you had a fight in Mock Town. When did you two become friends?"

"Hey, hey." Trebol taunted. "When? When?"

"Forget about the past." Luffy replied. "Let go of Bellamy."

"That's up to the winner to decide." Doflamingo declared, stepping on Bellamy's shoulder as a point. "This fool came to be killed by me. Right, Bellamy? You entered the Colosseum to become an Executive of my Family. But you got defeated pathetically. That's more than enough reason to be killed but I gave you another chance: which was if you kill Straw Hat, I'll make you an Executive. But you failed again, so you shall be killed. Don't you think so, Bellamy? This is how you take responsibility, isn't it?" he grabbed Bellamy by the head and forced him to look at the trio. "Bellamy. You idolized me of your own will and got desperate when things didn't go as you wished. People can't change their nature. No matter how far you go, you're just a cheap thug, Bellamy."

"What are you saying?" Luffy glared. "Bellamy has changed."

"It's okay now." Bellamy assured. "Just kill me already."

"Hey, Straw Hat-ya!" Law chided, seeing Luffy let out a scream in rage.

"Let go of Bellamy!" Luffy demanded. "Mingo!" he sent a kick at Doflamingo who used Bellamy as a shield. "Sorry Bellamy!" he apologized.

"Didn't we agree on this earlier?" Law reminded. "Straw Hat-ya, if you show your anger or hatred, you're giving the enemy what he wants. Hold back. Stirring our emotions is his tactic. If you lose your cool, you could get killed. Like I almost did in the first battle."

"I was wondering what happened." Sasha mused out-loud.

"I got careless." Law admitted. "Doflamingo is an iron-hearted, ruthless man. He's always looking for a chance to get you."

"In the face of your dying friend, you kicked him." Trebol taunted. "Didn't you? You just kicked him."

"What did you say?" Luffy glared.

"How dare you say I'm iron-hearted." Doflamingo rebuked. "Law, I'm not as iron-hearted as you think. I'm pretty mad. Think what you guys have done. First, you began by destroying the SAD manufacturing machine. Then you laid your hands on Vergo and Monet and kidnapped Caesar. Later, here in Dressrosa, you freed the toys throughout the country. Your associates are trying to destroy the SMILE factory even now. I've had it enough already. I'm smiling just because I can't get any madder. And what is worse, is that you think you can kill me. It's been disastrous since you guys came along. Feels like I'm reliving the despair of 13 years ago."

"If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have shown up in front of you like this!" Law snapped.

"If that hadn't happened, you would've been here as the third Corazon." Doflamingo countered, flaring up his Conqueror's Haki.

Sasha counteracted with her Divine Haki, both auras clashing against each other, battling for dominance.

"By heavens..." Trebol was trying to stay on his feet as the shockwave washed over. "Have we awakened the True Dragon?"

"You wretched..." Doflamingo hissed, knowing that his Conqueror's Haki was no match for an even higher tiered Haki. He tried to expand more Haki outwards, only to have his Haki completely overwhelmed by the godlike aura the younger female eluded.

"Have you forgotten, Don Quixote Doflamingo?" Sasha reminded as Selena's image superimposed behind her. "It matters not just how diluted their blood is, every single Celestial Dragon has been servitude to me and my will. Kneel before your real Queen!" she ordered, imposing her Queen's Will on the former Celestial Dragon.

"Doffy!" Trebol wailed, seeing Doflamingo buckling to his knees. "A King like you can't kneel..."

"Radio Knife!" Law took the unsuspecting Trebol by surprise, slicing up the Stick Stick Fruit user into pieces.

"Are you alright, Doffy?" Trebol asked. "Law, you fool!" he backed down as Law held him at sword-point. "You're not gonna get away with this." he swore as he proceeded to piece himself back. "Law, I know all about your ability. Because of the ability of the Op Op Fruit was something we sought in the first place. Even if I get chopped up, I'm gonna turn back to normal. Ready to fight back! Oh?" he wondered, when his body pieces slid off. "Why is it?"

"Radio Knife is a different cutting method from my regular Amputation." Law explained. "For several minutes, even when any treatment or ability, your body can't be reassembled."

"What?" Trebol exclaimed. "I'm in trouble!"

"You shitty brats!" Doflamingo cursed, fighting against the Queen's Will. "You're messing with me!"

"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!" Luffy fired a punch at the immobilized Doflamingo, knocking him into a wall.

"Go away, Law!" Trebol slithered away. "Did you forget that I used to treat you kindly?"

"Room!" Law ignored him and activated his ability.

"Stop!" Trebol demanded as Law closed in. "You traitor!"

"Injection Shot!" Law moved in for the kill. "Here's the finisher!"

Doflamingo moved in, kicking Law and the sword away from Trebol.

"Droplet Spear!" Sasha's water spears blasted Doflamingo off. "Have you forgotten that I'm not done with you, Doflamingo? You have the audacity to defy the Queen's Will!" she glared at the downed Celestial Dragon. "Are you prepared for the repercussions of High Treason, Blood Traitor?" she invoked the Queen's Will once again on Doflamingo. "Don Quixote Homing," she cast a stern glare at the older pirate. "I'm sure you know of that name."

"I do; I'm a descendant of the noblest bloodlines in the world, after all." submitting to the Queen Will, Doflamingo confessed. "The Celestial Dragon! We're just admirable just by the fact of our birth. I used to possess the most unobtainable power in the world. However, one day, my father abandoned the greatest power in the world that we were born with and the four of us in the family descended to this manure-pile world. Screw that 'live like human beings' bull. My father was an idiotic man. By the age of ten, I'd seen the heaven and hell on earth. Then, I killed my father who's the cause of all that and returned to Mariejois with his head. But the Celestial Dragons in heaven would never accept a renegade family. I knew there was no way to get out of this hell. I swore to myself at that moment; that I would destroy every single thing in the world they dominate."

"Two years earlier, after reading Don Quixote Homing's letter of remorse, I was ready to give the Don Quixote Family a blanket pardon and spare them the fate of 'Final Judgment' on the sole condition that their legacy renews the fealty vows of Old." Sasha admitted. "It's too bad, then; the sin of Kinslaying, under the Old Laws, is absolutely unforgivable. Therefore, I pass sentence: as of this moment, Don Quixote Doflamingo, I hereby declare your life forfeit and the Don Quixote line extinct!"
