He is the Heavenly Demon! He is a born king! He cannot lose!
"The String-String Fruit...Awakening!"
He let out a beastly roar and slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Gods will slay you!"
In an instant, the entire palace, no, the entire Royal Highlands, began to tremble violently!
The earth, rocks, buildings... everything began to assimilate, turning into countless surging white threads!
Sixteen terrifying waves of threads, composed of massive amounts of silk and imbued with Conqueror's Haki, surged towards Su Hui from all directions like sixteen spears of judgment, overwhelming him!
This is his strongest move!
This is the ultimate manifestation of his awakened fruit! This is power powerful enough to destroy an island! Your forest is in my forest, your forest is in the sky, your forest is here, it's not here...
Faced with this devastating scene, Su Hui finally stopped in his tracks.
He looked up at the sixteen white waves that descended from the sky, obscuring the moonlight, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"So you're finally going to show some real skills?"
"Since that's the case, I'll show you what... true despair really is."
He slowly raised the long sword in his hand above his head.
On the tip of the blade, the azure soul flame suddenly surged!
"Domain: Elegy of the Soul"
hum-
An indescribable wave of terror swept outwards from Su Hui, engulfing the entire King's Highlands!
In that instant, time seemed to be paused.
The surging waves of light were suspended in mid-air.
The people engaged in fierce combat in the distance moved with incredible slowness.
The whole world turned into black and white.
The only color was the deep, deathly blue of Su Hui and his blade.
Doflamingo was horrified to find himself unable to move, and even his thoughts began to freeze. He could only watch helplessly as the knife in Su Hui's hand slowly fell.
It didn't strike him, nor did it strike the sixteen wave-like lines.
He simply slashed down lightly towards the empty ground.
"broken."
One word came out of Su Hui's mouth.
next second.
"Click... click click..."
The crisp cracking sound, like a death knell, tolled in the silent world.
Those sixteen terrifying waves of energy, capable of destroying everything, those endless threads formed from the entire King's Highlands, at this moment, starting from the very core structure, began to break apart inch by inch, crumbling piece by piece!
No explosion, no impact.
It turned into a sky full of white powder so quietly, like a desperate snowfall, falling softly.
Doflamingo's Devil Fruit awakened, but was... shattered by a single slash!
"puff--!!!"
Doflamingo was struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body collapsed to his knees like a puppet with its strings cut.
His aura, at this moment, was extremely weak.
At this moment, his eyes completely lost all their light.
All that remained was... endless fear and bewilderment.
White powder, swirling in the air, drifted down like a lament for a grand funeral.
The King's Highlands were in ruins; the once magnificent palaces had long since been reduced to rubble.
Faced with the overwhelming power of Yamato, Smoothie, and others, all the Donquixote Family executives had fallen, some unconscious, some seriously injured, and none of them were able to stand.
Only two people remained on the entire battlefield.
One was Su Hui, who stood like a demon god, wielding a long sword burning with soul fire, his robes fluttering in the night wind.
The other was Doflamingo, covered in blood, kneeling on the ground, too weak to even lift his head, as if all his soul and will had been drained away.
He lost.
They were utterly defeated, completely humiliated.
His pride in his strength, the fruits of his livelihood awakening, and his self-proclaimed pride as a "king" were all mercilessly shattered and ground into dust by this man.
Su Hui slowly walked up to him and sheathed his long sword.
He raised his foot and, under Doflamingo's humiliated, resentful, and fearful gaze, slowly stepped on his head.
He stomped his once proud head hard into the rubble beneath him.
"Squeak..."
The skull rubbed against the gravel, producing a teeth-grinding sound.
What a shame!
This was a humiliation that was even more unbearable for him than death!
"You...killed me..."
Doflamingo's voice was forced out from between his teeth, hoarse and weak. He would rather die than endure such humiliation.
"Kill you?"
Su Hui pressed down slightly with his foot, making Doflamingo's face press even closer to the ground. "That's too wasteful. Didn't I tell you? You're a very useful tool. Now, it's time for you, this stray dog, to recognize your new master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep, azure light suddenly shone in Su Hui's eyes.
An irresistible, terrifying power originating from the soul surged from the soles of his feet into Doflamingo's mind!
Seeds of loyalty!
“Ahhhhhh——!!!”
Doflamingo let out a heart-wrenching scream, a sound that no longer sounded like a human voice, but more like the wail of a demon from hell.
His body was convulsing violently, and blood was seeping from all seven orifices.
In his mental world, a silent war is breaking out.
His innate pride as a descendant of "gods," the ruthlessness and cruelty forged after his patricide, his ambition and arrogance as a "heavenly demon"... everything that constitutes his independent will as "Donquixote Doflamingo" is defeated step by step in the face of that azure torrent, relentlessly washed away, covered, and rewritten.
He saw his entire life reflected in the past.
The pain and hatred of falling from the clouds of Mary Geoise, being hung on the wall by mortals and pierced by arrows.
He killed his foolish father with his own hands, returned to the holy land with his head in his hands, only to be ostracized by his former compatriots as an outsider, filled with anger and shame.
He hates!
He hated this world! He wanted to destroy everything!
However, the steely will that had sustained him all this time became incredibly fragile in the face of that "seed of loyalty."
His hatred was erased.
His ambition was twisted.
His hatred for the world was rewritten into absolute loyalty to one person.
His will to resist grew weaker and weaker. His eyes went from being frantic and struggling to becoming empty and blank. Finally, they were replaced by a fanatical worship and awe.
It was as if the most devout believer had met his one and only God.
The screams, which lasted for a full minute, came to an abrupt end.
Su Hui slowly raised his foot.
Doflamingo's body stopped convulsing, and he slowly raised his head from the rubble on the ground.
His face, now stained with blood and dust, no longer showed any trace of arrogance or madness.
Those iconic flamingo sunglasses had already shattered in the struggle, revealing eyes filled with fervent, unwavering loyalty.
He straightened his tattered feather coat with meticulous care, as if performing some kind of sacred ritual.
then,
He knelt on one knee before Su Hui, lowering his head, which had once been more proud than anyone else's.
"My king, my master."
His voice was no longer sharp and arrogant, but had become deep and respectful, filled with submission from the depths of his soul.
"Don Quixote Doflamingo, from this moment on, everything I have, my life, my soul, will exist for you. Please... use this humble body of mine to fulfill your great will."
This scene deeply shocked the female companions who had just finished their battle in the distance.
Viola, in particular, gaped, her face filled with disbelief.
That tyrannical and cruel demon who manipulated her and the entire country, that arrogant and domineering tyrant, was now kneeling before another man like the most docile dog, swearing allegiance.
Just how terrifying are this man's abilities?
"very good."
Su Hui nodded in satisfaction.
He could sense that the seed of loyalty had taken perfect root deep within Doflamingo's soul.
From this moment on, this "Heavenly Demon" will be his most loyal servant, and no thought of betrayal will ever arise again.
"Get up," Su Hui said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Doflamingo stood up respectfully, bowing his head and standing behind Su Hui, his posture extremely humble.
Su Hui's gaze swept over the ruins and the Don Quixote family officials lying on the ground.
"Are these people still of any use?"
He asked Doflamingo behind him.
"Returning to master,"
Doflamingo immediately replied, "Trebol, Diamante, and Pica are the highest-ranking members of the family, and they're still somewhat useful to me. As for the others... they're all replaceable trash. And Sugar, her Hobby-Hobby Fruit is key to maintaining the false peace in Dressrosa."
"Then let them stay."
Su Hui's decision was simple and direct: "As for Sugar... let her restore all the people who have been turned into toys to their original state later."
"As ordered."
Doflamingo did not hesitate at all.
Su Hui ignored him and turned to look at Viola not far away.
The princess of the fallen kingdom was still in a state of great shock, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Your country is back to you."
Su Hui walked up to her, reached out and lifted her chin. "From tomorrow onwards, Dressrosa will welcome its true master. And you, Viola, and your niece Rebecca will all live under my protection."
Viola trembled as she looked into Su Hui's unfathomable eyes, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She succeeded; with the help of this man, she overthrew Doflamingo's tyranny.
But she also knew that Dressrosa had simply changed to a more powerful master.
She herself, once a prisoner, became another man's possession.
Is this... the future she wants?
she does not know.
