Swift Battle!

"Doll, you should hold on! I will call the reinforcement immediately!" 

As Tsuru's voice echoed from the Den Den Mushi, all of a sudden, it was hung up, and couldn't be connected.

"DOFLAMINGO!" 

While Tsuru cursed Doflamingo, her movement wasn't slow, and she decisively sent reinforcements to help Doll and everyone. She wasn't stupid, and she knew well that Punk Hazard must have a relationship with Doflamingo. 

No, all the evil experiments that happened on Punk Hazard must have all been due to Doflamingo! 

What about Vergo? 

While her expression was ugly, Tsuru understood that Vergo must have a certain connection to Doflamingo, or even worse, Vergo was someone who was sent by Doflamingo secretly to infiltrate the Marines! 

'If that's the case...' 

So it was understandable why the situation of the G-5 had always been the worst, and it continued to become worse! 

"You have to hold on, Doll..." 

As Tsuru prayed, everyone on Punk Hazard was in a gloomy and despairing state. 

"VERGO! DOLAMINGO! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS?!" 

As Torikago had put it, Doflamingo was quite leisurely since he knew well that no communication could be established as everything was blocked by his cage of strings. 

"Fufufu, can you not realize it by yourself? You should all be clear, right?" 

"Huh? Why did you do all of this?!" 

"Hey, Vice Admiral Vergo!" 

"Wh-What's happening?" 

Yet, while Doll's expression became gloomy as she thought of the possibility she didn't want to believe, the others were still confused, wondering why Doflamingo appeared and why this member of Shichibukai, a legal pirate chosen by the World Government, would suddenly create a cage of strings! 

"You are all idiots!" Doflamingo mocked all of them. "Isn't it obvious that Vergo is working for me? And all of you here are going to die!' 

Doflamingo didn't know who had made a mess on the Punk Hazard, but for one thing, he had to kill all of them! 

No evidence, witnesses, or anything on this island could be discovered by the World Government, and the best way to do that was to kill all of them! 

"Huh?!" 

Yet, without a doubt, the words of Doflamingo caused all the Marines to show dumbfounded and shocked expressions. 

"I-It's a lie, right, Vice Admiral Vergo?" 

"You are not working under that hateful pirate, right, Vice Admiral?" 

"Vice Admiral, tell us that he is lying!" 

Still, Vergo only snorted, showing his disdain toward all of those pitiful and weak trash. "Young Master, your order." 

"Isn't it obvious? Kill them all, Vergo." 

"Yes!" 

"VICE ADMIRAL!" 

As everyone was getting frustrated when Vergo and Doflamingo were ready to make a move, ready to kill all of them, Shinra looked at the Torikago created by Doflamingo curiously, as it also started to change the surrounding environment into that of strings. 

The Awakening. 

This was the strongest stage at which one had developed the ability of their Devil Fruits. As they had reached this stage, they became so strong that they could become one of the powerhouses in this world. 

'Hmm...' 

Still, while Doflamingo was serious and even showed one of his strongest abilities that he developed from his Devil Fruit, had Shinra developed his Devil Fruit's ability to this stage? 

Shinra wasn't sure whether he could say that he had developed his Devil Fruit to the Awakening Stage, but for one thing, he had developed his Bane Bane no Mi so that it could also affect his surroundings, or items that he wished to be. 

As a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Bane Bane no Mi entered the category of the body modification type, which altered his body, giving it a trait similar to that of a spring mechanism, and that was the limit of that Devil Fruit's ability, which only affected his body, and it couldn't affect the environment or create springs out of nothing. 

The Bane Bane no Mi was different from the Ito Ito no Mi, which was eaten by Doflamingo, that could generate and manipulate strings from his body, since despite the two coming from the same Paramecia-type, the Ito Ito no Mi entered the category of substance generation. 

This had always been the rule, and even Luffy, the MC of this world, could only turn his body into that of a rubber instead of turning the surrounding environment into that of a rubber when he awakened his Gomu Gomu no Mi into Nika Nika no Mi. 

Yet, there had always been an exception in this world since some Devil Fruits could do all types of Paramecia, whether it was substance generation, body alteration, or environmental manipulation. 

Still, why couldn't it be his Devil Fruit? 

Was it because his Bane Bane no Mi was wielded by a side character? 

However, as the power of this Devil Fruit was taken by him, Shinra would develop it well. 

"Can you handle Vergo, Doll-san?" 

"Yes," Doll answered subconsciously. If it were only one by one, even if she faced Doflamingo, even if she wouldn't be able to win, she wouldn't lose so badly, but if it was the combination of Vergo and Doflamingo, she knew that she would die. 

Still, if it were only Vergo, then Doll believed that she would win! 

Yet—

"Are you going to fight Doflamingo?" Doll asked with a hint of doubt and tension, as if trying to remind him that Doflamingo wasn't a weak opponent. 

Yes, Shinra might have defeated Mad Treasure and all of his followers, but did he think that Doflamingo was weaker than Mad Treasure? 

"Then, I will leave that weird Vice Admiral to you." 

Shinra knew that talking too much would lead to a defeat, and as Doflamingo laughed happily as he saw the despair of all the soldiers, it was time to make an attack! 

All of a sudden, a gun appeared in his hands, and he shot all nine bullets at Doflamingo! 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! 

Upper arm, collarbone, windpipe, temple, diaphragm, rib, testicles, and thighs!

All nine points of Doflamingo's body were all shot almost at the same time, and reached the supersonic speed so easily! 

Yet, this was far from enough as Shinra also covered each of those bullets with Armament Haki, turning them into a dark bluish color, making them stronger and adding a piercing effect! 

'No, it's far from enough!' 

In his mind, a battle would always end swiftly; in a second, everything would be over. 

So, after he shot his gun, he took the blade that he gained from Hody Jones, Kirisame. 

While the shape of this blade was weird like that of a shark's dorsal fin, the quality of the blade was nice, as it was one of the highest quality blades that was crafted in this world. 

In Hody Jones' hands, this blade would be put on Hody Jones' dorsal fin and used to cut as he swam to his opponent in the sea. 

However, in his hand, Shinra gave the blade a handle, turning it into that of a Jambiya, a type of dagger with a short curved blade with a medial ridge that originated from the Hadhramaut region in Yemen.

As the bullets were shot, Shinra held this blade, then bounced toward the sky as the ground turned into that of spring, soaring high before the air also turned into that of spring again before bouncing around, increasing his speed, and stabbing his blade into the blind spot of Doflamingo! 

'Make it sharper!' 

With his delicate control over his chakra, it didn't take long for him to manipulate his Armament Haki, covering it on the entire length of his blade, increasing its durability and sharpness!

Still, as everything was done in less than a second, Doflamingo, who was still laughing, was dumbfounded as many parts of his body were shot! 

Splash! 

The pain quickly woke him up and subconsciously made a defense measure to create armor made of strings as he covered himself in Armament Haki, increasing his defense, and also tried to dodge, yet as Doflamingo did all of that, a quiet assassin emerged to his side and stabbed his heart from behind! 

Stab! 

"Guwah!" 

As Doflamingo coughed blood, he looked at his heart, which was stabbed before he fell on the ground. 

"...." 

"YOUNG MASTER!" 2x

Under the panic scream of Monet and Vergo, Shinra defeated Doflamingo.
