The current Project Shiki is not the Project Shiki of the past, and is different from the growth-type Frankenstein, although Project Shiki's strength cannot be improved through the training methods of conventional life forms.
However, as long as Oran achieves a technological breakthrough, Project Shiki's power will be upgraded directly without any barriers.
The built-in voice system is arguably the most basic thing. Project Shiki has always had this feature, but in his program, speech is a rather meaningless thing.
He received instructions from Leriana before this operation.
The highest priority is to take the Operation Fruit; anyone who tries to stop them is an enemy, and everyone else is irrelevant.
Barreuz had no objection to this. Anyway, he couldn't beat Doflamingo anymore, and whoever wanted the Op-Op Fruit could take it; it was none of her business.
"That box contains the Op-Op Fruit. That white guy isn't one of ours. You can handle the rest yourselves!"
With that, Barrerouz stepped back, trying to leave the dangerous area.
"Fufufufufu, where do you want to go?"
Barrells wanted to leave, but Doflamingo wouldn't allow it. Several thin threads extended from his fingers, manipulating Barrells towards Project Shiki.
"What are you trying to do? The fruit is in his hands, what does it have to do with me?"
"I'm not blind, of course I know the fruit is in his hands. But does he seem like the kind of person who would hand the fruit over to me? You go and test his strength for me."
Under the control of the puppet strings, Baleruz uncontrollably picked up a weapon and attacked Project Shiki.
Human life has never been worth anything in Doflamingo's eyes. He was once a Celestial Dragon, and even though he has lost his Celestial Dragon status, he is still a Celestial Dragon at heart.
However, Project Shiki's judgment method is different from that of ordinary humans. As a Project combatant without emotions, he is a pure killing machine.
Barrezz and several other pirates manipulated by Doflamingo are enemies in his eyes, as is Doflamingo himself, who manipulates these pirates through those transparent threads.
[Lion's Might - Thousand Cut Valley]
Project Shiki held the box containing the Ope Ope no Mi in his left hand and unleashed a series of slashing waves with his sword in his right.
The pirates controlled by Doflamingo collapsed to the ground in unison, and the smile that Doflamingo had just been wearing vanished completely at that moment.
His heart pounded, and the shadow of death instantly loomed over him.
Will die
"Spider web!"
Doflamingo rolled to the side, simultaneously releasing a spider web woven from silk threads.
boom!
Just as Doflamingo rolled away, a sword aura swept across the area, severing half of the mountaintop and sending it tumbling into the deep valley beside it.
The problem is that there wasn't just one sword aura. The spiderweb-like defense was no different from paper in front of Project Shiki; it was cleaved in two the moment it made contact.
Blood splattered on the snow. Doflamingo's left arm was grazed by a sword aura and instantly separated from his body. He himself, like the shattered mountain peak, fell towards the deep valley.
Project Shiki looked over there, then back at the Ope no Mi in his hand. Because it wasn't an annihilation mission, the core program had given him a different approach.
[Princess, the target has been captured and is en route to the agreed location.]
Project Shiki flew into the sky, not continuing to deal with the problem here.
Below the cliff, Doflamingo secured himself in mid-air with several wires, and the blood from his severed arm had stopped dripping.
Doflamingo has already stopped the bleeding internally using his own sutures and is currently stitching up his severed arm.
The String-String Fruit was very useful for Doflamingo, at least it didn't lead him down the same path as Shanks and Kid, since his hair wasn't red.
During the process of stitching up his severed arm, Doflamingo did not make a sound. The pain of losing his arm was nothing to him, at least not as painful as his heartache.
"Where did this monster come from?"
Project: Shiki's activities were already infrequent, and the spotlight in Piltover was mostly focused on Oran and his daughter Lyliana, as well as Brook, the Soul King.
During the snow operation, Project Shiki changed his camouflage, and since the attack was only instantaneous, Doflamingo didn't even have time to think about who it was before being forced into a life-saving mode.
The gap in strength was too great. Doflamingo originally felt that he was not strong enough, which is why he never entered the Grand Line and had been quietly developing in the North Blue.
He had finally finished his preparations and was about to embark on his journey to the Grand Line when he received the news he had been longing for: the Operation Fruit.
The original plan was to obtain the Operation Fruit and then head to the Grand Line, but they failed here.
Doflamingo thought his fake death by falling off the cliff had succeeded, but in fact, his life had no priority whatsoever in Project Shiki's eyes.
"There's still trouble at Corazon's place; we need to retreat before that old woman gets there."
Perhaps becoming a doctor would be a good career choice for Doflamingo; at least his arm has been reattached and he has regained the ability to move it.
Just then, Doflamingo's Den Den Mushi rang.
Blue blue blue~
"Young Master! Something terrible has happened! The one fighting Corazon is Mr. Vergo! Mr. Vergo says that Corazon is a Navy spy!!" Baby-5's anxious voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
She and Buffalo had just descended to a lower altitude, intending to take Corazon away from there, but unexpectedly, Vergo was there, allowing them to send out new information.
As if things weren't bad enough, when this new bad news reached Doflamingo's ears, he nearly ground his teeth to powder.
"Corazon, no, Rosinante, you bastard... you've betrayed my trust once again."
With his newly reattached arm hanging by his side, Doflamingo released threads from his right arm to hook onto the clouds in the sky, moving towards Buffalo and Baby-5, while simultaneously contacting other family members.
The surgical fruits have been stolen, the mission has failed, and it's time for them to retreat.
Meanwhile, at the site of the battle between Gaspard and Vergo, Lyriana had already received a message from Project Shiki through her headset.
After ordering him to wait above with the Op-Op Fruit, Lyliana continued to orchestrate the battle before her.
At this moment, Corazon was in tears, moved by Gaspard's "fight to the death" spirit, but unfortunately he did not know Gaspard's inner thoughts.
After all, for Gaspard, fighting might result in injury, but not fighting would be fatal.
