Sabo narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over Doflamingo from head to toe, a very impolite gesture, as he secretly wondered: Where did this guy peek from?
Although he was puzzled, Sabo still wore a smile, looking at Doflamingo in front of him.
"That's still much better than some 40-year-old men who trick innocent younger brothers."
Doflamingo gritted his teeth upon hearing the words "old man."
Where was he old? And "innocent"?? What are you talking about? While he liked Orochimaru a lot, that thing definitely couldn't be described as innocent!!!
How thick is your filter!!!
The two stood in sharp opposition, sparks seemingly flying as their gazes met.
Everyone around them suddenly felt like they were superfluous.
Luffy, who was looking for a way, heard the commotion and, seeing the flying castle, his eyes lit up. "Yo-ho! Target spotted!"
So, using the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit, he bounced up to the second floor.
Luffy blinked, looking at Sabo and Mingo who were in a standoff. His gut told him it was best to keep his distance. The top priority was to save Trafalgar first.
So, taking advantage of the deadlock between the two, Luffy hoisted the heart-shaped chair and ran.
Though he couldn't unlock the Sea Stone handcuffs, he certainly had the "skill" to steal a chair.
What was that saying Orochimaru had? To solve a problem from its root. Hmm... isn't the chair the root?
Trafalgar Law, carried on Luffy's back, had a bright red face, filled with an indescribable shame.
"Straw Hat Captain! Put me down! The alliance is over! Get out of here!"
Law desperately twisted his body, trying to break free, but being cuffed to the chair made it futile. This struggling only made his shame explode.
"Shut up! You're too self-important! I make the decisions on this! You just listen to me!"
Luffy completely ignored the struggles and shouts of the person on his back, running off in the opposite direction.
"Who's being self-important here!! And even if you're going to save me! At least uncuff me!!"
Trafalgar Law wished he could find a hole to crawl into. Because his arm was broken, the handcuffs had to be used on his feet, securing him to the chair at three points. This pathetic state made him utterly mortified.
And who uses these chairs with chains anyway! Doesn't it seem perverted!!
"I don't have the key!!" Luffy replied righteously, his steps not faltering.
Violet, witnessing the fleeing Luffy, suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Hey!! Straw Hat! The key is with me!!"
Upon hearing Violet's shout, Luffy slammed on the brakes, his eyes subconsciously darting to Sanji beside Violet, then instantly sparkling before he unhesitatingly turned and shot towards Violet like an arrow.
"!! Sanji!!"
At this moment, Doflamingo, who was in a fierce confrontation with Sabo, watched Luffy first run off with Law on his back, then suddenly turn back, instantly gritting his teeth in anger.
"You two brothers are going too far!! You all completely disregard me! Straw Hat! Put Law down!!!"
Doflamingo, enraged, his eyes wide, his aura suddenly condensed.
The next second, he directly abandoned Sabo in front of him, his figure flashing, carrying the whooshing sound of wind, and kicked towards Luffy.
Luffy's pupils contracted sharply, a sense of crisis suddenly arising. In this critical moment, he instinctively crouched down, simultaneously quickly blocking with the chair he was carrying on his back.
Doflamingo's powerful kick landed squarely on the bottom of the chair.
With a loud "boom!" as if the air itself was twisted by the shock, the bottom of the chair instantly shattered, sending wood splinters and metal fragments flying.
The good news was that the bottom of the chair restraining Law's feet was broken, and he could finally move, though his body was still weak due to the Sea Stone shackles.
Law watched as Doflamingo's powerful foot, like a Shinigami's scythe, barely grazed his crotch.
The distance was only a few millimeters, and an icy chill instantly shot from his feet to his head. Cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. He had only one thought: Is the Straw Hat Captain deliberately getting back at me?
Hearing the crisp sound of the chair shattering, Luffy, without hesitation, spun around and stomped heavily on the remnants of the chair that had held Law, completely crushing it.
Then, he grabbed Law, only then noticing Law's broken arm.
Luffy's pupils instantly widened, his face full of disbelief. This sight was quite a shock to him.
Fortunately, the thoughtful "Baby5" had already tied the broken hand to Law's other hand, even making a bow, so there was no need to worry about losing it.
"Trafalgar, your hand! Did Mingo do this!" Luffy asked loudly, his eyes wide with anger.
Law's face was pale, and he was so weak that his words were barely a whisper. Besides weakness, there was more fear of having survived a great danger.
"Straw Hat Captain... my hand isn't important, but can we discuss something? Next time... can you not use me to block attacks? It's really dangerous."
Heaven knew his heart almost stopped a moment ago.
A broken hand could be easily reattached for him, an Ope-Ope no Mi user! But if his balls were crushed, he'd only be able to remove them!
Sure enough, the Straw Hat Captain was too dangerous.
"Hahahaha... Gomen gomen ⁼̴̤̆ ꇴ ⁼̴̤̆"
Hearing Trafalgar's words, Luffy realized what he had just done, scratched his head with a grin, and offered a half-hearted apology.
Luffy's apology was still hanging in the air.
Doflamingo's face on the other side became somewhat distorted. "These two brats, are they completely ignoring me?"
Doflamingo, furious, laughed instead, a fierce glint in his eyes. He quickly raised one hand, blocking Sabo's attacking pipe with precise accuracy.
At the same time, five colored threads shot from his other hand like nimble yet deadly venomous snakes, "whooshing" towards Luffy and Law.
"Straw Hat Captain, look out!!"
Law's pupils suddenly constricted as he saw Doflamingo's attack, and he shouted a warning.
Luffy's expression instantly became serious. His arms were immediately wrapped in Haki, and he forcefully blocked the five colored threads that shot towards him like a sudden storm.
He turned to look at Law, who couldn't move, his brows furrowed tightly. After all, Law was a bit dangerous right now, but what could he do?
Suddenly, Luffy's nose twitched slightly, as if he had caught something.
He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the pointed tip of the floating castle above his head, a smile playing on his lips.
Got it!
So, Luffy decisively freed one hand, picked up Law like a chick, and at the same time flashed him an extremely bright smile, which Law found somewhat sinister.
Law's heart sank, and a strong sense of foreboding instantly surged within him.
"Straw Hat Captain! What are you doing?" Law's eyes widened in horror, his voice trembling slightly.
"Hehehe... I'm sending you to a safe place, off you go! ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ"
Luffy chuckled strangely as he exerted force with his arm, suddenly throwing Law upwards towards the pointed tip of the floating castle.
Violet, holding the key, looked at the flying Law in confusion. The key... did he still need it?
