Chapter 211: The Beginning of the Dimming of the Stars
"Whatever tricks you have, use them quickly!"
He hadn't expected that even Gion and Gake couldn't stop them.
Watching Luffy and the others gradually run farther away, about to rush into the pirate crowd, Sengoku, after some hesitation, finally made up his mind.
Doflamingo had a premonition that he probably wouldn't have a good time later.
The Birdcage was an indiscriminate killing move. Once used, the gazes of the Whitebeard crew would inevitably be focused on him.
If it weren't for his hatred of the Straw Hat crew, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
But fortunately, Whitebeard and his commanders were all tied up. With only Black Snake Reiner...
Thinking of this, Doflamingo grinned sinisterly and shot a beam of white string into the sky. "Even if you are strong! Can you kill me while tanking Sengoku? I'm not made of clay!"
"Heh heh, you're a dead clown," Reiner immediately controlled the War Ogre to charge at Doflamingo, attempting to interrupt him!
"Where do you think you're putting this old man!"
Boom!
Sengoku roared angrily, and a pale golden shockwave was released from his palm, blocking him.
Seeing the giant golden Buddha blocking his way, Reiner knew it was impossible to interrupt Doflamingo with just these few undead.
Behind him, the undead of Jinbe and Ivankov walked out one after another.
Reiner's cold eyes swept over the battlefield below, and he began to think about who to dispatch to quickly kill Doflamingo.
The strongest, Sukuna, was suppressing Kizaru with Marco and Frieren.
Next was Bullet's undead, holding back Aokiji with Jozu and Vista.
Kizaru was too fast. Reiner couldn't let him go, otherwise, even if Doflamingo died, Luffy and the others would still be caught.
Bullet, Frieren, Magellan... these three will do.
A rare ruthless look appeared in Reiner's eyes. Today, I will absolutely not let this dog return to Dressrosa alive!
The white strings in the high sky transformed into thousands, blotting out the sun and spreading out towards the plaza at an extremely fast speed.
"Look at the sky!"
"What is that?!"
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked up in amazement.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Soon, one tough string after another pierced deep into the ground, and the entire Oris Plaza was enveloped!
"Birdcage!"
"Fuffuffuffuffuffu!!"
Doflamingo's expression became more and more arrogant, as if he had already foreseen the end of the Straw Hat crew. He spread his arms and laughed up at the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"None of you can escape! All of you will die here!"
The fully formed Birdcage surrounded Luffy and the others. Besides the very front line of the battlefield, nearly half of the Whitebeard Pirates and their affiliated crews were isolated outside.
Some began to try to cut it with swords, to bombard it with cannonballs, but without exception, they were all repelled or cut to pieces.
The pirates outside could only watch anxiously, while the forces on both sides inside the Birdcage were instantly pulled apart!
"Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!!"
Bang!!
A Haki-covered roundhouse kick directly hit the Birdcage, but the tough white strings did not move at all.
"It's no use. This is not a method that can be solved with brute force."
Jinbe put down his leg and stopped trying, then turned his head and looked deeply at the execution platform.
A large wave of thin strings surged and crashed, continuously hitting Reiner, only to be dispersed by the undead.
"Reiner is already dealing with Doflamingo. We have to wait until they decide a winner."
"Looks like we can only hold on for a while."
Luffy spread his legs and punched the ground, saying resolutely, "We just need to hold on until Reiner deals with the opponent, right?"
"Looks like that's the case."
Brook drew his slender cane sword, a cold glint flashing across the blade. "But he is a Warlord, after all. I'm afraid we'll have to hold on for a little longer, yohohohoho~~."
Ivankov took a step forward and teased, "It seems none of you are worried that Reiner-boy will fail."
"Well, failure or whatever..."
Usopp drew his twin pistols and said proudly with his chin up, "That word doesn't suit him."
"Ah, it's Reiner, after all," Robin smiled faintly, crossing her arms in front of her and activating her ability.
"Reiner is invincible!" Chopper jumped up and shouted, then put a Rumble Ball in the corner of his mouth and crushed it.
"Let's go!"
Scanning the surrounding Marines, Luffy's feet compressed like springs. His skin gradually turned red, and white steam gushed out. "Gear Second!!"
Swish!
"Gomu Gomu no... Jet Gatling!!"
Luffy's figure flickered in front of the Marines, and countless fists rained down like a pear blossom storm!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers who had just surrounded them were sent flying one by one!
"Be careful! They're starting to counter... uwaah!"
"Soru!"
"Fire!"
Bang!
"Follow me... hisss, ah!"
Led by Marine officers, they drew their swords and charged, leading a large number of soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Straw Hat crew.
The Marines surged forward like a white tide, and then were sent flying back in sheets like a receding tide.
"Sure-Kill: Six-Star Fire!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Usopp raised his gun and fired rapidly. The bullets landed in the crowd and exploded with a roar!
"Treinta Fleur: Hang!"
Crack! Crack!
Robin activated her ability. Arms sprouted from thin air, hooking onto the Marines' limbs and bending their entire bodies backward. The sound of breaking bones was chilling.
The light-footed Brook moved like a swimming dragon, flashing past a group of Marines in the blink of an eye. He held his longsword horizontally in front of him and slowly sheathed it.
"Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri"
Zing!
As the blade entered the sheath, a large number of Marines behind him spurted countless streams of blood and fell to the ground.
The group used their various abilities to fight with all their might, repelling wave after wave of the swarming Marines.
Ivankov became a battlefield superweapon, his large eyes continuously blinking and fanning up storm after storm of shockwaves.
Faced with this group of people, ordinary Marine soldiers couldn't even withstand the aftershocks.
They could only be used as tools to drain their stamina, charging forward brainlessly with a passion, only to be blasted away, covered in blood.
As Luffy and the others paused, more and more pursuing soldiers caught up, and the experts among the Marines also arrived one after another.
The entire encirclement continued to expand. Only the center of the fierce battle was a vacuum zone where no one could set foot.
Both inside and outside the Birdcage, people began to worry about the situation the Straw Hat crew was facing.
Whitebeard also noticed the commotion in the distance, but facing the siege of Garp and Akainu, it was difficult for him to break away and help.
But Whitebeard was not in a hurry...
He glanced at the execution platform, having already made up his mind.
The difference in strength was too great. There was no need for him to worry. It was already about to be decided.
Outside the Birdcage, a large group of pirates gathered, waiting to receive the Straw Hat crew. Seeing the continuously gathering Marines, their hearts grew more and more anxious.
"The number of pursuing troops is increasing."
"This is not good if it continues."
"Even if this thing disappears, we'll have a hard time resisting so many troops."
However, separated by the continuously shrinking Birdcage, they could only watch helplessly.
Just then.
Rumble!!
The sharp, thin strings that were slowly shrinking and cutting into the ground suddenly stopped.
Then, before the disbelieving eyes of the pirates, the tough white strings of the Birdcage that had enveloped the entire plaza all snapped and dissipated into the air.
They were shocked not only that the Birdcage was broken, but more so by the speed!
"This is way too fast!"
"Hey, are you kidding me?"
"It's... it's done?!"
Jinbe's eyes also widened in surprise. "He's one of the Seven Warlords, after all. This is too..."
"Too exaggerated!!"
Chopper looked at his Arm Point-enhanced hands and cried out in anguish, "The Rumble Ball's effect isn't even halfway over! What a waste!!"
"Is that the point, you idiot!!"
Smack!
Usopp shouted, jumping up and slapping Chopper on the head!
"We're here, Ace!!"
Just then, a loud shout came from not far away. Looking through the crowd of Marines, it was the pirates under Whitebeard's command.
"Straw Hat!"
"Here! Come over here!"
Led by the two commanders, Izo and Rakuyo, they squeezed into the Marine crowd and fought their way towards their position.
Luffy sent a Marine soldier flying with one punch, then turned his head to look at the pirates desperately charging towards them and grinned cheekily. "Alright! We're finally regrouping!"
"Izo! Rakuyo!"
Looking at the familiar faces, covered in wounds and desperately charging, Ace couldn't help but have his eyes well up with tears. He shouted with a hoarse throat, "You two bastards!"
"Ace! Your shouting is terrible!"
"Treat me to a drink when we get back, you bastard Ace!"
"Stop wasting time, everyone! Aokiji is coming!!"
As the Birdcage disappeared, the forces under Whitebeard's command finally regrouped with Luffy and the others, covering their retreat as they charged towards the bay.
They had hidden a coated ship underwater, and Little Oars Jr. was also lying in ambush.
As long as they entered the bay, it would be a victory!
Below the execution platform, the entire ground had almost turned into ruins. A blood-stained pink feather coat hung on the rubble.
"Ahahaha! I really didn't expect this, Sengoku! You sanctimonious dog!!"
Reiner on the execution platform couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears were almost squeezed out.
"To actually play the trick of burning the bridge after crossing the river! Doflamingo probably never thought he would really become a clown until his death, ahahaha!"
Frieren stood by his side, holding a head with golden, shattered hair and wearing a pair of red sunglasses.
The reason Reiner could quickly kill Doflamingo in just one minute was all thanks to the assistance of this old dog before him.
He had really seen a great show today!
"Watch your words, Black Snake Reiner."
Sengoku calmly retorted, "The battlefield is merciless. Doflamingo fought bravely and died unfortunately. This is the honor of being a Warlord."
"Alright, alright, say whatever you want!"
Whatever the Fleet Admiral says, goes. Is anyone going to believe the words of a pirate like him?
Reiner couldn't help but smile, his expression teasing. "To secretly kill a Warlord without anyone knowing, and even pin the blame on me. As expected of 'The Strategist'."
"Who in the world would have thought that you, 'Buddha' Sengoku, would have such a ruthless side."
Reiner mocked him sarcastically. Setting aside Sengoku's character, but in terms of being ruthless to his enemies...
Raising the encirclement wall to block the retreat, then having Akainu burn the sky and boil the sea, coordinating with the Pacifistas to slaughter the pirates.
Could the person who made such a strategic deployment be a good person?
Just now, he had commanded Bullet, Frieren, and Magellan to surround and kill Doflamingo. In just a few simple encounters, they had beaten the other into an unrecognizable state.
Even with his awakened fruit, Doflamingo had no power to fight back when facing these three undead at the same time.
At first, Sengoku could barely provide cover for Doflamingo. After all, he had to rely on the Birdcage to trap Luffy and the others. The three of them were in a stalemate for a while.
And the sudden reversal of the situation began when, after losing the assistance of Bullet's undead, Aokiji suddenly broke free from Jozu and Vista to pursue Luffy.
When the War Ogre fired an Elbaf Spear at him, Doflamingo hurriedly rushed towards Sengoku, trying to use him to resolve this attack.
Sengoku could have saved him at that time. It would have been nothing more than tanking this move for him. As a Mythical Zoan user, with the defense of his Great Buddha form, at most he would have just coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
However, what neither Doflamingo nor Reiner expected was that Sengoku would directly fire a shockwave to resist!
Caught in the middle, Doflamingo was completely stunned. His face looked even uglier than if he had eaten shit. He was directly crushed by the double impact!
"What a sloppy death, Doflamingo. I even feel sorry for him. I say, Sengoku, that last move of yours clearly had a personal grudge in it."
Corazon, your adoptive father still thinks about you very much.
Reiner looked at the other with a strange tone. He knew that Doflamingo and Sengoku had a feud over the death of his son, but he hadn't expected him to make a move at this time.
He had avenged the death of his son, completely shirked responsibility, and even squeezed the last bit of value out of the other before his death.
Reiner couldn't help but admire Sengoku's methods.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Stop talking nonsense, Black Snake."
Sengoku's expression was as usual, completely ignoring Reiner's words.
The cause was that Doflamingo had volunteered to fight Reiner.
Then he released the Birdcage to hold back the Straw Hat crew, which angered Reiner into chasing and killing him.
The final result was that he died at Reiner's hands.
The above is the entire process of a Warlord's death in battle.
What did it have to do with him, Sengoku? Blame him for not protecting him well?
Bullshit Royal Warlords. Just a bunch of pirates. Sengoku had never looked up to these scoundrels. It was no pity if a few of them died.
Anyone else would be fine, but he had held a grudge against Doflamingo for a long time. If it weren't for the World Government, he would have personally led troops to attack Dressrosa long ago.
Since there was such an opportunity today, it was just as well to kill him!!
