"Hey, hey, hey, hey~"
Princess Mononoke waved her small hand.
"Strong Identification Technique, activate!"
The invisible, insubstantial white ghost passed through Flying Six Fossford's body.
Instantly, Fossford froze in place. His face contorted with struggle, trying to resist—but he wasn't strong enough.
Snap!
Fu Sifu, one of the Flying Six ancestors, collapsed passively to the ground.
"Tempest Kick!!!"
Kalifa swung her long legs. Empowered by the Capricorn Star Spirit Clothes, her Tempest Kick sliced through the air with several times its usual force.
The massive air blade struck Fossford, sending him flying violently.
"Asshole!"
Fossford recovered, tiger-like paws slamming the ground as he lunged forward.
But before he could act, the white ghost pierced his body again.
Snap!
Fossford fell once more. Repeatedly.
Even someone with thick, battle-hardened skin could not endure such relentless punishment.
The saber-toothed tiger, Fossford of the Flying Six, was down—not so much from Kalifa's attacks as from his own fury and humiliation. Watching everyone, the realization that he was inferior to the "bedbugs" on the ground drove him nearly insane.
Meanwhile, on another front…
"Damn it!"
Triceratops Flying Six Sasaki roared, struggling as dark, demonic tentacles wrapped tightly around him.
At the same moment, a golden light swelled in the pupil of a lion star.
Bang!
The impact hit Triceratops Sasaki like a meteor. Nami and Marian brought him down with precision.
Elsewhere, Fairy Queen Erza continued mowing through the battlefield atop Wushuang. Vivi rode the lightning-fast duck Karoo, firing arrows continuously.
Juvia's water magic rendered artificial Devil Fruit powers useless.
Only the clash between Wendy and Plague Quinn posed a challenge. Quinn was a major figure among the Hundred Beasts, but overall, the Fairy Tail girls dominated the battlefield.
The new members were also performing impressively.
"Tears of Hot Iron—Eye Whale!!!"
Violet unleashed a torrent from her eyes, obliterating the Beasts Pirates.
Detached from her body, the whale's tears morphed into limbs, acting as her weapons. The combination of her Paramecia Staring Fruit and Eye Magic allowed Violet to control attack, while Rebecca handled interference. Together, aunt and niece were more than enough to neutralize ordinary artificial Devil Fruit powers.
But suddenly…
Violet froze.
Rebecca lost control.
"Auntie! My body… I can't control it!" Rebecca panicked.
"Doflamingo," Violet growled, recognizing the culprit.
"Fufurfur… Violet, your family is gone, yet you remain. You betrayed the Don Quixote Family, taking refuge in Fairy Tail!" Doflamingo grinned cruelly.
"I never considered myself part of your Donquixote Family, you bastard! I'll kill you!" Violet shouted, rage flaring.
"Fufurfur… first, consider how not to be hacked to death by Dressrosa's little princess!" Doflamingo mocked.
With a flick of his finger, Rebecca staggered toward Violet, controlled like a puppet.
"No… I don't want to…"
Before the sword could harm Violet, swish! A blade of light cut the parasitic strings controlling Rebecca.
Vivi, riding Karoo, activated the Cancer Star Spirit Clothes, her twin blades transforming into scissors that severed the strings controlling Violet.
"You're the Shichibukai Doflamingo!" Erza said under her breath.
"Leave him to us!" Nami said, taking Kalifa's hand.
"Fufurofur…" Doflamingo stroked his forehead and laughed. "Just a bunch of bratty kids—I really underestimated you! Those underlings of mine? Dead already!"
Kalifa spoke calmly, "A Shichibukai is the perfect test for our new powers."
Nami's voice carried confidence: "Doflamingo, what you did to Dressrosa ends here."
Vivi nodded, firm and resolute.
The three—Nami, Vivi, and Kalifa—joined hands. Star magic flared around them.
"Extremely distant sky, countless shining stars," Nami intoned.
"Show me your true form, and support me," Vivi continued.
"I am the Lord of the Stars. Open the door to the wilderness," Kalifa whispered.
With the mantra spoken, the trio's starry lights intensified, dazzling all nearby.
"This is…!" Erza murmured, recognizing their plan.
"Miss Erza, the enemy is Shichibukai Doflamingo—Nami and the others…"
"No problem," Erza interrupted, her gaze unwavering. "Now it's Doflamingo who should be afraid."
Ace and Sabo noticed unusual energy fluctuations.
"What kind of ability is that?" Ace murmured.
"Even we can't predict all the magic Fairy Tail wields," Koala whispered.
The Suning Mage, overlooking the battlefield, smiled knowingly.
Sugisawa Yuuto's eyes lit up as he recognized the Star Map History—also known as All Day Stars, a legendary starry super-magic.
It allowed the user to harness the power of all eighty-eight stars simultaneously, executing multi-directional locking attacks.
Sensing Nami, Vivi, and Kalifa's rising momentum, Doflamingo's expression darkened. He could no longer underestimate them.
Almost instantly, he unleashed Paramecia String-String Fruit Awakening. White lines surged, the ground and sky converging into an intricate, deadly lattice. Sixteen threads, imbued with destructive power, shot upward.
"Sixteen Holy Bullets—God Kills!!!" Doflamingo shouted.
Simultaneously, the trio's super-magic activated:
"Eighty-eight stars of the day, shine! Star Map History!!!"
The radiant star energy devoured Doflamingo's holy bullets completely.
Sugisawa Yuuto glanced northward. Dark clouds churned like ocean waves, lightning and thunder crackling.
Through the haze, a colossal silhouette appeared.
The Wild Emperor of the Beasts—Kaido!!!
