Great Line's first half.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, an urgent report from the Marine Science Unit's ship escorting the criminal scientist Caesar Clown, stating that they were ambushed..."
Brandnew, who had just received the report, broke out in a cold sweat. His voice was somewhat urgent. He hurriedly reported to Fleet Admiral Sengoku: "Contact has already been lost."
"What!?"
Behind the curved desk of the Fleet Admiral.
Sengoku, who was casually tossing a discarded document to the little goat he kept by his side as a paper shredder, paused in his action.
He realized the seriousness of the situation!
To reach this level, he needed to sink two or more warships in the shortest possible time, and he also needed to directly kill the liaison officer on the warships who would immediately report the situation to the superiors once an accident occurred, only then could he directly cut off communications.
The criminal escorting scientist Caesar Clown's warship was ambushed. Regardless of whether there were really only two people, it meant their strength was likely quite astonishing.
"Caesar Clown is a scientist from the Marine Science Unit. Not only does he know many important secrets about the Marine Science Unit, but he can even independently develop some dangerous chemical weapons. This time, the Marine Science Unit had no choice but to withdraw. The incident at Punk Hazard was all due to him. He was supposed to not let other forces get this guy..."
Sengoku's brow furrowed into a knot. He suddenly stood up and ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately dispatch Green Bull from the G-5 Branch, and have him rush to the incident sea area at the fastest speed!"
Even Marine Vice Admiral Maynard couldn't resist the opponent. Although his strength was somewhat weak, to a certain extent, it was enough to show that the attacker's strength was not something an ordinary Vice Admiral could contend with.
To be safe, Sengoku had no choice but to send Green Bull, who was responsible for guarding the G-5 branch, personally.
Although it was very likely that by the time Green Bull arrived, the criminal on the ambushed escort ship would have already disappeared without a trace. He would then have to find a way to investigate what happened.
"Yes!!!"
...
Smoke billowed, and the smell of blood permeated the air, making one almost gag.
The Marines on the warship, under Doflamingo's control, were continuously bombarded, and they suffered heavy casualties.
"Kishishishi~ Caesar, are you coming with me?" Doflamingo stood in mid-air, a demonic smile uncontrollably echoing as he looked at Caesar Clown.
"Hey, hey, you bastard Doffy, Caesar is someone we're taking away. Don't even think about it!"
Cavendish's face was grim. He glared at Doflamingo above him. He was a bit timid because he had been controlled by the other party and couldn't move earlier.
"Kishishishi~ Doffy, although I'm very grateful that you specifically came to save me, but what you said is very difficult. After all, they are my benefactors who just saved me..."
Caesar Clown's eyes darted around. He pointed at Fujitora below, somewhat deliberately making things difficult.
If Fujitora hadn't already known this guy's personality, he would have almost believed him. For Caesar Clown to actually be grateful was like seeing a ghost.
Clearly, he just wanted to provoke. He wanted to see which side was the most worth his allegiance.
"Then, Kishishishi~ Are we going to fight?"
Doflamingo grinned, his purple sunglasses somewhat playfully staring at Cavendish, who hadn't made a move yet, but subtly gave Fujitora a dangerous hint.
Caesar Clown: "I won't go with you. He must follow me!"
Although he looked like a middle-aged man, at his core, "his heart" was a young man of integrity and passion. Facing a former Seven Warlord of the Sea who had destroyed a country under him, Doflamingo, Fujitora's eyes burned with a few hints of fighting spirit, somewhat eager to try.
Since he had completely adapted to this body's powerful strength, besides sparring with the likes of Aokiji, he had never truly fought against these top powerhouses.
Therefore, Fujitora did not reveal his and Cavendish's identities to threaten Doflamingo.
"That's interesting..."
Doflamingo narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
Almost at the same time, he extended his right palm backward and fiercely struck out.
"...!" Swish!
Countless thin threads shot out, intertwining into hair-thin lines, like lightning splitting the air.
"Whoosh!"
The terrifying threads tore through the atmosphere, piercing the air with a sharp sound!
The target of the Demon, Doflamingo, was not Fujitora or Cavendish, but the warship at their feet.
"Damn it..."
"Splash..."
Waves scattered, and the sea churned.
The gigantic warship was directly cut in half at the waist.
It fell apart, instantly splitting into two. The warship, with a frighteningly smooth cut, was about to sink into the sea.
"To destroy a warship, is that all you're capable of?"
Fujitora laughed coldly. It wasn't that he couldn't protect the warship; he simply hadn't thought of stopping it.
"Swish!"
The pitch-black blade slashed across. A large chunk of the deck was directly cut off. It floated on the surface of the sea.
"Hmm?"
Doflamingo's pupils constricted. He hadn't expected the other party to actually be able to fly in such a silent manner.
He had indeed overlooked this point earlier. Those two fellows hadn't used a ship. How on earth did they get here?
"He's truly a sinister fellow!" On the other side, Cavendish, who was almost knocked off balance because the warship tilted and sank, couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Thump..."
A black shadow directly flew over, transforming into a pitch-black winged creature that inserted itself behind his back. It violently lifted him into the air.
As a Devil Fruit user of the Paramecia-Shadow-Shadow Fruit type, Moonlight Moria, with his bulky body, couldn't make shadows carry him to fly, but Cavendish could easily do so.
"Cavendish, don't interfere. This is not a battle you can participate in..."
Staring at Doflamingo in mid-air, Fujitora, without turning his head, said to Cavendish, and a black blade suddenly shot out.
"Slash!"
The sound of air breaking echoed, and a blazing slash illuminated the night sky.
A dazzling crescent-shaped slash instantly sliced through the atmosphere. Doflamingo's pupils contracted.
