Chapter 244
Chapter 244
After Whitebeard walked away, Rorschach could only shrug helplessly.
"He’s the main character, so why did he have to make me face this battlefield first? There are still two Admirals here, plus two ridiculously strong old monsters."
"What an irresponsible old bastard. Don’t you agree, Doflamingo?"
Rorschach turned his gaze toward the blond man beside him.
Doflamingo’s face was filled with shock. Cold sweat was already dripping down his forehead.
It was one thing to mock people while slacking off in the middle of the battlefield, but actually facing a Four Emperors-level opponent was something he didn’t have the guts for, no matter how arrogant he sounded.
Rorschach’s first target had been this blond man, so when Little Silver descended, it naturally landed near his part of the battlefield.
Fortunately for Doflamingo, he had noticed the abnormality in the sky early and managed to dodge Little Silver’s meteoric crash.
"Hey, hey... We don’t even know each other, right? Why are you talking to me like we’re old friends? And that attack just now was aimed at me too, wasn’t it?"
"So? Do we have some kind of grudge between us?"
Faced with the invisible pressure radiating from Rorschach, Doflamingo forced a smile as he asked.
Right now, his eyes behind the sunglasses were filled with obvious confusion.
"Eh? You already forgot the sound of my voice? How disappointing. I even prepared a special gift just for you."
Rorschach put on an exaggeratedly heartbroken expression, then waved his hand. A large black shadow immediately fell from the sky.
Thud.
The shadow crashed down right in front of Doflamingo.
It was the Donquixote Family executives. At this point, they had basically been drained dry by blood extraction. They were barely clinging to life, kept alive but in an extremely miserable state.
Kaido and Judge had been extremely ruthless — they had kept them just alive enough to keep drawing blood.
Doflamingo’s pupils shrank as he stared at his "family" lying on the ground in a near-death state. Rage surged through him.
Without realizing it, Conqueror’s Haki began leaking from his body. Veins bulged on his forehead.
"Since you don’t remember, let me give you a little reminder."
"Monet felt really good, you know."
Seeing his reaction, Rorschach decided to pour more fuel on the fire with a playful smile.
Boom.
Doflamingo finally snapped. His blond hair floated upward as his Conqueror’s Haki exploded outward.
"Overheat!"
Crimson light reflected off his sunglasses.
"Oh, right. I forgot to mention — Dressrosa is mine now. All the money, treasures, and supplies you left in the castle... they all belong to me."
Still not enough. Rorschach added even more fuel.
Watching Doflamingo’s face twist with rage was extremely entertaining to him. He loved seeing people get furious but unable to do anything about it.
However, Rorschach’s final sentence completely shattered the last thread of Doflamingo’s rationality.
His family had been tortured to this half-dead state. His kingdom had been stolen. Even his treasures and resources had been completely taken. Years of planning and effort had all gone to waste.
How could he possibly endure this?!
"You bastard! How dare you do this to my family?! I won’t let you leave here alive today!"
Starting from Doflamingo’s feet, the ground and surrounding buildings began turning into white strings.
In moments, all the buildings and ground around him transformed into countless white threads.
"What the hell is this?! Help!"
A Marine soldier standing on the white threads lost his footing and was swallowed up.
Sengoku, who was watching from not far away, frowned deeply.
"Devil Fruit awakening?!"
He immediately recognized that this ability to change the environment was the awakening of a Devil Fruit.
"Hey, Doflamingo! If you keep attacking Marines like this, I won’t let you off either!"
Sengoku immediately shouted at him.
"Tch."
Doflamingo clicked his tongue in annoyance but still controlled the strings to spit the Marines back out.
"We’re saved!"
The rescued Marines looked like they had just survived a disaster.
Under normal circumstances, Doflamingo wouldn’t have cared. But doing this right in front of the Fleet Admiral was still too reckless.
Besides... the Marines were also a force he could use against Rorschach.
Now that Rorschach had come looking for trouble, if he couldn’t deal with him, the consequences would be endless.
He couldn’t defeat Rorschach with his own power alone. He still had some self-awareness.
So he needed to borrow the Marines’ strength.
"Wave White String!"
All the white threads gathered around Rorschach and wrapped around him like a giant cocoon, intending to crush and strangle him to death.
"Did it work?"
Looking at the giant white cocoon, Doflamingo muttered.
A Four Emperors-level opponent wouldn’t die so easily to his awakened ability, but it should at least do some damage, right?
"What nonsense are you spouting? You didn’t actually think these soft little strings could kill me, did you?"
At that moment, Rorschach’s voice came from inside the cocoon.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, crimson lightning violently blasted the cocoon apart in a wild burst.
What emerged from within was the face Doflamingo hated the most — smiling.
In that instant, Doflamingo felt an overwhelming, terrifying pressure crash down on him.
But he couldn’t back down now. If he retreated, it would mean he was afraid of Rorschach.
"Hey, Sengoku. This guy should also be someone you want to eliminate, right?"
"This bastard just now kept interfering with your plans. Want to team up and take him out first?"
Instead of continuing his attack, Doflamingo shouted toward Sengoku.
Sengoku didn’t respond. His eyes were locked onto Rorschach, his expression extremely serious.
"Rorschach. What exactly is your purpose for coming here?! Don’t give me the same nonsense you fed Whitebeard!"
Sengoku asked in a heavy, serious tone.
Doflamingo’s expression darkened. His suggestion had been completely ignored. Where was he supposed to put his pride?
"Hm? Does that reason sound like a joke to you?"
Rorschach scratched his head and put on a confused expression.
This attitude only made Sengoku even angrier.
"Don’t mess around! Everything you’ve done since you debuted has been extremely purposeful! It wasn’t until you took in Nico Robin that your ugly true intentions were exposed!"
Sengoku waved his hand angrily and shouted.
"Hm? My intentions? Aren’t they just to get close to beautiful girls? If you Marines hadn’t kept causing trouble for me, I wouldn’t have even become a pirate."
Faced with Sengoku’s baseless anger, Rorschach rubbed his chin with a strange expression.
