344Chapter 346: Donquixote Doflamingo's Dead End!Hundreds of meters above Dressrosa.The clouds were torn apart here!!Donquixote Doflamingo's face was so grim it looked like ink was about to drip from it.He stepped on transparent strings.One end of the strings was fixed to the distant clouds, allowing him to move through the air at near-sonic speeds.But at this moment, Donquixote Doflamingo was in no mood to enjoy the pleasure of standing above all living beings.His Observation Haki enveloped Dressrosa below, and the images he perceived made his temples throb!!The Toy Curse was lifted, and the whole country was rioting!Kyros led the people to attack the Kings Plateau!In the Colosseum ruins, Zoro and Sanji were alive despite their heavy injuries; King and Katakuri were watching; even more terrifyingly, those two monsters, Straw Hat Luffy and Kaido, were fighting in the distant sea, shaking heaven and earth.And his family—Diamante's presence had just vanished!Trebol was heavily injured, Sugar was unconscious, and the other officers were scattered everywhere, making it impossible to organize an effective defense!"Damn it... damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"Donquixote Doflamingo's teeth ground together, and his eyes under his sunglasses were bloodshot.Ten years of planning, ten years of rule, had collapsed to this extent in just a few hours!"It's all because of that Straw Hat... and that damn Law!!!""Fortunately, the Straw Hat is being held back by that monster Kaido."Donquixote Doflamingo forced himself to calm down,"I must leave Dressrosa immediately! As long as I'm alive, there's still a chance for a comeback!"He thought of the Royal Palace Port.The Donquixote Family's exclusive warship was docked there; as long as he boarded it, he could escape this island that was about to spin completely out of control.As for the family officers... he would take those he could, and those he couldn't, he would have to abandon.This was the law of survival for pirates!!Donquixote Doflamingo adjusted his direction and flew toward the Kings Plateau.But as he soared over the Colosseum—Below, several gazes locked onto him at once... the Colosseum ruins.King looked up, the pupils under his black mask reflecting the pink figure in the sky."Donquixote Doflamingo... trying to escape?"No emotion could be heard in his voice, but the wings on his back spread slightly.As a Great Sign of the Beasts Pirates, King had a near-instinctive loathing for the acts of "betrayal" and "fleeing."Not far away, Katakuri also saw it.He didn't move, but the corners of his mouth under his scarf tightened slightly.Donquixote Doflamingo was one of the Big Mom Pirates' "trading partners," but at this moment, Katakuri had no intention of lending a hand.The situation had spiraled completely out of control; intervening in such chaos would bring no benefit to Totto Land."Brother Perospero."Katakuri suddenly spoke."H-here!"Perospero shuddered in fright."Contact Mama and report the situation here."Katakuri's tone was calm,"Highlight this: Straw Hat Luffy possesses strength rivaling Kaido, the Tremor-Tremor Fruitwas obtained by Sabo of the Revolutionary Army, and the rule of Dressrosa has collapsed.""U-understood, perorin!"Perospero scrambled to pull out a den den mushi.And on the other side of the ruins.Zoro sat down against a broken stone pillar, and Sanji lay beside him; both were tending to their wounds."Is that... Donquixote Doflamingo?"Sanji glanced at the sky."Yeah."Zoro responded,"Looks like he's trying to run.""Not going to stop him?""How?"Zoro pointed to the wounds covering his body,"I can't even hold my swords steady right now."Sanji fell silent, then let out a sneer:"True."Neither spoke further, silently recovering their strength... but just then—"Donquixote Doflamingo!!!!"A roar came from the direction of the Flower Fields.It was Kyros's voice, filled with deep-seated hatred... immediately after, another voice rang out—"Young Master! Wait for me!!!!"It was Trebol.This slimy officer had crawled out from somewhere and was waving toward the sky.He was covered in burns and marks from blunt force trauma.Donquixote Doflamingo glanced down.His gaze lingered on Kyros for a moment, then swept over Trebol.Then—He didn't stop at all.He continued flying toward the Royal Palace Port."Young Master Doffy?! Wait for me!!!!"Trebol shouted in despair, but Donquixote Doflamingo's figure had already disappeared behind the buildings.In the Colosseum, the pirates who saw this all showed mocking smiles."Abandoning subordinates to flee... this is a Shichibukai?""Pah! Some Heavenly Yaksha, he's nothing but a coward!""Let's go! We can't stay here!"More and more pirates began to evacuate.They had originally come for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but now it had been eaten by Sabo. With monster-level factions like the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army fighting on the island, staying any longer meant they could be crushed by the aftershocks at any moment.Thus, a comical and chaotic scene unfolded at the ports of Dressrosa—On one side, thousands of people led by Kyroswere charging toward the Kings Plateau, fighting with the remnants of the Donquixote Family;On the other side, hundreds of pirates were scrambling to board ships, wanting to escape the island;And in the sky, Donquixote Doflamingo was stepping on strings, flying toward his exclusive warship.The entire country was like a boiling cauldron... at the edge of the Flower Fields.Sabo and Rebecca also saw Donquixote Doflamingo in the sky."He's escaping!"Rebecca anxiously grabbed Sabo's arm,"Mr. Sabo! Please! Take me to the palace! I want to help my father! I want—""Calm down, Rebecca."Sabo pressed down on her shoulders, his tone serious,"If you go now, you'll only distract Mr. Kyros.""But—""Trust me."Sabo pulled a miniature den den mushi from his chest,"I have a way."He dialed a certain number.A few seconds later, the den den mushi connected, and a crisp female voice came from the other side:"Sabo? How are things on your end? I just destroyed the weapon trade ships at the port; all those munitions have sunk to the bottom of the sea!"It was Koala."Good job."Sabo said quickly,"Listen, Koala. Donquixote Doflamingo is escaping toward the Private Port. Take your people by ship immediately to intercept him at sea.""Understood!"Koala's voice was sharp and decisive. "What about you?""I'm going to the palace! There are still things here that must be finished."Sabo glanced at Rebecca."Be careful.""You too."The call ended.Sabo put away the den den mushi and looked at Rebecca:"Let's go. We'll find your father! Then, together, we'll end this ten-year nightmare."Rebecca nodded vigorously, hope reigniting in her eyes.The two hurried toward the palace... and meanwhile—Deep in the palace, at the Private Port.Donquixote Doflamingo landed.The strings under his feet retracted automatically, and his eyes behind his sunglasses scanned the port.Three medium-sized warships were docked here, all property of the Donquixote Family.The port staff were busy preparing for departure, but panic was written on everyone's face."L-Lord Donquixote Doflamingo!"A low-level leader ran over, reporting with a trembling voice,"Preparations for departure are complete, we can— at any time—"Before he could finish.An explosion suddenly rang out from the port entrance.BOOM!!!A pirate ship preparing to leave port was blown in two, and the pirates on board fell into the water screaming.Immediately after, dozens of figures rushed in through the entrance. They wore ordinary civilian clothes but held weapons, and the flames of hatred burned in their eyes."It's Donquixote Doflamingo's ship! Blow them up!!!""Avenge these ten years of slavery!!!""Kill!!!"The rioting populace had already reached the port.Donquixote Doflamingo's face darkened completely.He glanced at his warships, then at the charging citizens."Damn it..."Donquixote Doflamingo's hands clenched, his knuckles turning white.And just then—"Donquixote Doflamingo!!!"A low voice came from the shadows of the port.Donquixote Doflamingo turned his head sharply.In the shadows, a person slowly walked out.He wore a long black trench coat and a spotted fur hat, with the long sword "kikoku" at his waist.His pale face bore a sickly indifference, but in those golden pupils burned a flame that seemed ready to incinerate everything.Trafalgar Law!"You..."Donquixote Doflamingo's pupils contracted suddenly,"How is this possible?! You should have already—""Died?"Law picked up the sentence, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold arc,"Unfortunately, I'm still alive! And—"He drew kikoku, pointing the blade at Donquixote Doflamingo."I'm here to kill you!"
