Chapter 100 The fight starts beneath the moon, Pika.
King Riku urgently called for his army.
If he aimed to gather a massive 10 billion berries in just one night, even if he used all the royal family's assets, it would still leave a giant gap. All he could come up with was asking the citizens for support.
After all, the only way to raise that kind of money in a short period of time is to kill the three Monster pirates(Charlotte,Kaido,Whitebeard) in the new world and cash in their bounties, but that's impossible for king Riku.
'I feel bad for the people, but I can't find a valid reason to ask them to give up their belongings. But right now, we can't think too much about that. If we don't raise 10 billion berries by dawn, we have no idea what might happen to this country. That Doflamingo is a beast who destroys cities without a second thought!'
Even if it tarnishes his reputation, he must not let the people experience misfortune.
"It doesn't matter if you beg or kneel," King Riku shouted to his soldiers, "the future of this nation relies on these next hours -"
"There's no need to rush, King Riku," a high-pitched, somewhat teasing voice replied.
King Riku turned in shock and saw a large-headed man floating up from the ground.
"My name is Tanaka," Tanaka gracefully bowed and said, "I'm here to offer some advice. "
"Did Doflamingo send you to spy on me? " King Riku clenched his teeth and asked.
"Please don't misunderstand, the person I serve is against Doflamingo," Tanaka calmly replied, showing a sly grin, "I'm just here to inform you that you don't have to worry about Doflamingo; someone will take care of him soon. "
"Fufufufufufufufufuufufufuufufufufufufufufufufufufu." A Mocking laugh came from the side as Doflamingo flew in through the window.
Of course, he had been keeping an eye on King Riku's actions.
Tanaka's face changed slightly. Right now, even Tesoro couldn't defeat Doflamingo, let alone him.
"So, who are you? " Ignoring King Riku and his men completely, Doflamingo walked over with a sneer, "You can't be telling me that you and your people are waiting here just for me, right? "
'If that's the case, it could be troublesome.'
"Well, someone will explain it to you later. " Tanaka stepped back smiling. He glanced at King Riku and said, "King Riku, I'll catch you later. "
Then he vanished straight into the ground.
"Um? "
Doflamingo was momentarily taken aback. He lashed out with a whip, tearing into the earth, but there was no sign of Tanaka anywhere.
"Does he have powers similar to Pika or Senor? " Doflamingo's mood darkened. He then turned to the bewildered King Riku, "It looks like we need to hasten things up."
"Parasite thread! "
Suddenly, the palace door burst open.
King Riku and the troops exited, their heavy steps swiftly disrupted the quietness of the night.
'What is happening!Why is my body not responding?I cannot even open my mouth or produce any noise!' King Riku was overwhelmed with shock and fear.
'What on earth is Doflamingo trying to do with my kingdom!'
On the palace roof, Doflamingo relaxed on the ledge, moving his ten fingers smoothly like a puppeteer maneuvering a puppet.
"Doffy, all the officers are assembled. " Out of nowhere, a tall and muscular figure appeared behind him, speaking in a very high voice.
"fufufufu I wonder, who will dare to challenge me."Doflamingo let out a soft laugh.
King Riku and his soldiers would soon descend to the lower sections of King's Heights.
But that was all.
Shingg-
A sharp arc blade lit up the night sky.
The arc blade, crackling with electricity, sliced through the dark sky, soaring over Riku and the others, aiming straight at Doflamingo.
"Um? "
Doflamingo noticed that he felt an absence in his hands, as the thread linking Riku and the others snapped.
"Huh! this move! ! "He recognized it instantly.
Boom!
Explosions lit up the night sky.
King Riku and the soldiers suddenly felt their bodies become weightless, as the force controlling them vanished.
Riku gasped in terror. 'Is this the large-headed person doing? '
On the palace roof, Doflamingo rose, "Come out, Brett! "
King Riku's eyes widened. Just ahead, at the edge of King's Heights,Tanaka, whom he had recently seen, emerged from the ground along with several others.
"I just went out to eat and almost missed this. "One person remarked with a grin.
"Luckily, I made it in time," another added.
King Riku's face started to lose expression; most people didn't seem familiar, except for a certain individual.
"Brett and Tesoro? And, wait, hold on, Jinbei! "
Doflamingo looked at Jinbei, who stood beside Brett, his smile fading, "Does this mean you're ready for war? "
Jinbei crossed his arms and replied calmly, "Brett is the helmsman of Fish-Man Island, and I support his decisions. "
Doflamingo tightened his lips. The situation was not as he had anticipated.
As a Warlord,Jinbe really considers Brett to be his equal?
Brett lifted his gaze, and figures appeared behind Doflamingo. He declared loudly, "Don't blame us, Doflamingo. The government invested a lot to get me on board. "
"Government ? "Doflamingo clenched his teeth in frustration.
If this was already settled and became known, obviously the government wouldn't allow his plans to proceed.
"It looks like the gathering is done,"
Tesoro grinned and remarked, "We are not as strong as them. "
The Don Quixote clan had emerged, and all the cadres are here now.
"It's not a problem. " Brett said lightly, while they might be outnumbered, his team has the upper hand in terms of strong fighters.
"Haha, never mind," Doflamingo sneered at Brett and the others, "You dared to come before me; you must be ready to die! "
"Die? Who's going to kill who? "Tesoro joked, "Do the fallen Celestial Dragons have the courage to talk like that? Do you really think a marine Admiral will come to save you when you're under attack? You're just worthless trash tossed aside by the Celestial Dragons. "
Doflamingo's forehead was filled with visible veins.'Has this information been leaked?'
"I'm going to kill you! "
Doflamingo opened his right hand, sending threads straight up into the air. They spread out, then came crashing down, "Birdcage! "
A cage made of white silk threads enclosed the entire King's Heights and surrounding areas.
Brett looked over at Tesoro. 'He truly knows how to mess with others' minds.'
"Leave it to me! Doffy! "
Behind Doflamingo, the tallest man began to lower himself, his voice loud, "I'll crush them into tiny pieces! ! "
Soon, the entire King's Heights shifted, and everyone struggled to stay on their feet.
"Behold my power! ! "
With a sharp laugh, a massive stone giant's upper body rose up at the King's Heights, its fist raised high enough to blotted out the night sky.
"This is incredible--"
King Riku, who was thrown to the ground by the earlier shock, looked hopeless. How can he fight against this kind of strength?
"How outrageous! " Tesoro exclaimed in disbelief, "The Stone Stone Fruit can do this much! "
"Fufufu, great job, Pika! Give them hell! ! "
Doflamingo chuckled.
Pika may not be physically strong, but his power is remarkable.
As long as his exact location within the stone remains hidden, no one can defeat him unless the whole stone giant is destroyed in an instant.
Brett smirked slightly.
"I'll deal with this guy in, hmm, thirty seconds. "He asserted.
