"Can we finally know who your young master is?"
Doflamingo, clearly frustrated, glared at Kuina as he spoke.
Kuina nodded slightly. "My young master's name is Monkey D. Finn."
Monkey D. Finn!!!
The moment Doflamingo heard that name, a flood of painful memories surged within him.
That damned Finn!
Why had he ever fallen into his trap? Why had he joined Tesoro? It was all because of this bastard, Finn!
If not for him, Doflamingo would still be the king of Dressrosa. If not for him, his family wouldn't be locked away in a deep-sea prison.
Doflamingo's laughter was filled with malice. "Fufurfur..."
"Come to make me do something? Fufu, are you mocking me now?"
Doflamingo glanced toward the audience, as though searching for Finn, and yelled in fury, "Finn! This is all your fault! You've brought me to this point, and you still won't leave me in peace!"
A teasing voice cut through the air: "What's this? Is my young master really so petty?"
In the blink of an eye, Finn appeared in the ruins of the stage, a smirk on his face.
"Monkey D. Finn!!!"
"It's really him! The one from the World Government's wanted posters!"
"He killed a Celestial Dragon at the Holy Land last month, then disappeared! I can't believe he's here now!"
The Golden City was a place where only the most influential figures spent their time, so everyone in the crowd had heard the latest news about Finn's actions.
The world had been stunned when Finn killed a Celestial Dragon — something that hadn't happened in centuries. Even though many secretly wished for it, no one had dared to act. But Finn had.
Now, people were shocked beyond words.
"Finn, are you going to kill everyone here?"
Faced with the enemy who had obliterated his entire empire, Doflamingo couldn't keep his composure. His anger and fear bubbled up, threatening to overtake him.
"Kill you?" Finn grinned as he looked at Doflamingo. "What would be the benefit for me?"
Doflamingo fell silent for a moment. He muttered, "You're no longer part of the Marines. Catching pirates isn't in your best interest. But what I don't understand is why someone like you would take on the Celestial Dragons."
"Want to kill me? Go ahead. But why drag it out with all this chatter?" Finn shrugged, indifferent.
He moved toward Doflamingo with casual steps. "I'm here because I need you to do something for me."
"You ruined my family, and now you want me to help you?" Doflamingo sneered in anger.
"Well, that's true," Finn said thoughtfully, tapping his chin. "But maybe I'll beat you again just for fun before we get to business."
Doflamingo seethed. This guy is even worse than me!
Finn laughed loudly, clearly enjoying the tension. "I'm just kidding! But seriously, you'll help me with what I need, even if we're mortal enemies."
Doflamingo frowned, eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Tell me what you want."
"Hold on a moment," Finn said, then addressed the audience with a smirk. "I need to have a private chat with Doflamingo here. Please respect our privacy and step aside."
The guests were taken aback.
Respect his privacy? What audacity!
"Is he insane? A wanted criminal flaunts his face in public like this?" one whispered.
"Does he think he's untouchable? There are enough strong people here to drown him with a single spit!" another added.
As the murmurs of discontent spread, Doflamingo laughed coldly, "Fufufu, it seems your face isn't enough to make them back off."
"Oh? Does your face work?" Finn asked, his tone light but mocking.
"My face doesn't work, but my abilities do!" Doflamingo suddenly regained his confidence.
A dark energy spread from Doflamingo's body, forming an invisible pressure field around him. The weaker guests immediately fainted, their eyes rolling back as they collapsed. Only the strongest among them could resist the overpowering aura.
"Conqueror's Haki!" someone gasped.
"Doflamingo is using Conqueror's Haki in the Golden City? Isn't he worried about Tesoro?" another voice whispered.
Doflamingo's smile was one of superiority. "This is Conqueror's Haki, Finn. Born with it, a natural gift!"
But Finn wasn't impressed. "Oh? Is that so? Let's see if it's really all that."
Doflamingo smiled smugly, thinking to himself that Finn wouldn't know what to do with such a powerful technique.
But before Doflamingo could finish his thoughts, Finn suddenly released a wave of destructive aura from his body.
"What?! What is this…?" Doflamingo's eyes widened in disbelief.
The aura quickly spread, overwhelming the entire audience. Those who had been talking and bickering fell unconscious immediately, while Doflamingo himself began to break out in a cold sweat, his confidence shattering.
Finn turned to him, teasing lightly, "Is that so?"
Doflamingo stood there, stunned, as the realization of Finn's power sank in.
