Law was somewhat stunned by the sudden, simultaneous shouts from the two, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
Did the Straw Hat Captain forget that he was the one who wanted to take revenge on Doflamingo?
What are you two doing here right now?
Trafalgar Law gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing, staring fiercely at Luffy and Doflamingo.
"Doflamingo is my target; I will avenge the person I loved most!" His voice was low and full of hatred, every word seemingly squeezed through his teeth.
Luffy paused slightly at his words, then glanced at Doflamingo, asking with a puzzled expression, "Who is he talking about?"
Doflamingo's face showed a mocking smile, his gaze at Law full of derision: "My dear brother, a traitor, just like him, so I just killed him."
At this point, Doflamingo let out a piercing laugh, as if mocking Law's misfortune.
Law's face instantly turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, and the aura around him grew increasingly cold.
"Doflamingo, stop spouting nonsense! Corazon... he wasn't a traitor! It was you, you who ruined everything for him! Today, I will make you pay for your blood debt!"
Law's voice trembled slightly with anger, and the flames of revenge burned in his eyes.
Luffy listened to their conversation, his brows gradually furrowing, and he looked at Doflamingo again.
He keenly sensed a strange sadness emanating from Doflamingo, even though Doflamingo tried his best to hide it beneath his arrogant exterior.
Luffy then turned his gaze to Law, who was equally furious, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and asked, "Dead?"
Law gritted his teeth, his face grim, and slowly nodded without saying another word, but his slightly trembling body revealed the turmoil in his heart.
Hearing Law's confirmation, Luffy did not hesitate, and said with a serious expression, "Then you can register for resurrection with Orochimaru later."
At this point, he seemed to have completely forgotten the contradiction in their previous conversation, turning to Doflamingo, his eyes instantly sharpening, battle intent rekindled, "Alright, Mingo, let's continue."
Law was also so startled by Luffy's words that he almost jumped up, "Straw Hat Captain, what nonsense are you spouting! It's not that easy to resurrect someone, and..." Law was about to retort when Luffy interrupted him.
"Stop rambling, Law, let's talk after this fight." Luffy said, clenching his fists, his aura rising again, ready to fight at any moment.
"Where was I... Oh... right! No one can take my brother away just like that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy's aura suddenly changed, and Gear Second was instantly activated.
Luffy instantly flashed in front of Doflamingo with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Immediately after, a punch, imbued with powerful force, slammed heavily into Doflamingo's abdomen without reservation.
After receiving Luffy's swift attack, Doflamingo stumbled back a few steps, but at the moment he was about to hit the ground, he stabilized himself with his bizarre String-String Fruit ability.
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became even more frenzied and fervent, and a chilling, sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Brat, you've got some skill! But this is just the beginning!" Doflamingo's hands danced rapidly in the air, as if weaving an invisible net.
In an instant, countless lines, as thin as hair but incredibly tough, shot out from his fingertips like a torrential rain towards Luffy.
These lines gleamed with a cold light in the sun, their angles tricky, completely sealing off Luffy's escape routes.
Doflamingo raised his right hand high, his index and middle fingers together and extended, the lines at his fingertips condensing into an incredibly sharp blade, glinting with a captivating sharpness, aimed directly at Luffy's vital throat.
Facing this fierce, fatal blow, Luffy's pupils contracted, but he showed no sign of retreating.
In a flash, relying on the instinct honed in battle, his body rapidly arched backward at an incredible angle, the blade at Doflamingo's fingertip almost grazing his Adam's apple, bringing with it a cool breeze.
Luffy rolled on the ground, his movements agile and fluid, instantly creating distance from Doflamingo.
He quickly stood up, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body slightly hunched, knees bent and ready to spring, prepared at all times to meet Doflamingo's next attack.
A cunning smile played on Doflamingo's lips.
He moved his fingers, and in an instant, countless transparent threads seemed to emerge from the void.
These threads, like agile and deadly vipers, tightly bound Luffy's hands behind his back in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, that was easy enough."
Doflamingo's cold sneer broke the tense atmosphere that permeated the surroundings.
He unhurriedly took two steps back and settled back into his extremely luxurious chair.
Doflamingo crossed his legs, his left knee resting on his right, his body slightly reclined, his right hand casually resting on the armrest, his slender fingers tapping lightly, intermittently.
His left hand propped up his chin, and he looked down condescendingly at Luffy, who was lying on the ground, tightly bound by the threads.
"Brat," Doflamingo drew out his words, his voice seemingly squeezed through his teeth, carrying a chilling mockery,
"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Doflamingo's tone was somewhat nonchalant.
"Stop dreaming such unrealistic pipe dreams!
I really can't understand what's wrong with Orochimaru [that guy] that he would place such absurd trust in you."
Doflamingo slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing through them, as if his deepest, most sensitive nerve had been touched.
Doflamingo's fingers tapped the armrest, making a 'da da da' sound.
"For greenhorns like you, who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, even if you momentarily harbored the ridiculous illusion that you could defeat me, that, to me, is an unbearable and profound humiliation."
At this point, he abruptly stopped, knelt on one knee, grabbed Luffy by the collar, and forcefully lifted his face.
Their gazes met in the air, sparking intense flames.
Doflamingo threw his head back and let out a wild, unrestrained laugh, sharp and full of disdain, echoing endlessly in the empty space.
After laughing, his gaze, like a knife, shot towards Luffy and Law, and he spoke slowly, emphasizing each word:
"Listen carefully!
Orochimaru belongs to me!
Only he is worthy to stand by my side!
I possess the most noble bloodline in this world, the Celestial Dragons!"
These words were like a clap of thunder, instantly exploding in the hearts of Luffy and Law.
Their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.
Seeing their reaction, Doflamingo laughed mockingly again, his laughter like the hoot of a night owl, chilling to the bone.
"From birth, I was incredibly noble and possessed the most unattainable power in the world."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hands, fingers spread, as if to control the entire world in his grasp.
