Shin and Nami were currently deep in conversation, but Fujitora, standing right beside them, looked less than pleased. He was being completely ignored.
Fujitora knew, however, that Shin had every right to ignore him. The man's power was on another level. Even though his own strength had grown considerably since their last encounter, he was still no match for the man before him.
Wielding his cane sword, Fujitora decided to strike first. ""
With a sharp clang, Fujitora's attack was stopped dead. Shin now held a greatsword of pure golden light—the Ama no Murakumo Sword, ford from his Glint-Glint Fruit.
"Fujitora, you still haven't fully mastered your Gravity-Gravity Fruit," Shin said calmly.
He wasn't mocking Fujitora—it was simply a fact. The Admiral had yet to develop his Devil Fruit to the point of awakening.
He wondered what an awakened Gravity-Gravity Fruit would even look like. Would it multiply the force of gravity, or create a gravity field?
Shin wasn't sure, but he probably wouldn't get to see it. He had spared Fujitora once before, but he wouldn't make the sa mistake twice.
Regardless of Fujitora's principles, sparing him once had been a gift. This ti, Shin had no intention of letting an enemy walk away.
""
An invisible wave of repulsive force slamd into Fujitora, sending his body flying. Doflamingo, standing nearby, was also caught in the blast and thrown back.
Doflamingo's expression shifted, and he rushed to check on Fujitora. Seeing the Admiral's state, his face paled even further. A trickle of blood ran from Fujitora's mouth, his clothes were in disarray, and his injuries were clearly severe.
Doflamingo knew Fujitora was no match for Shin Uzumaki, but he hadn't expected this. The fight had just started, and with a single move, Fujitora was already on the losing end. The gap between them was just too vast.
"Even after all this ti, your strength is still a disappointnt, Fujitora," Shin said coolly.
"I'll give you one chance. Leave now, and you can still walk away. Otherwise, don't bla for killing you both."
Shin looked down at the fallen Admiral. Fujitora t his gaze, showing no sign of backing down.
"SHIN UZUMAKI, I WILL NOT YIELD," Fujitora said with solemn conviction.
No matter what, Fujitora would not back down. Doflamingo deserved to die, but as long as he was a prisoner under Fujitora's watch, he would protect him. It was a matter of principle. And against an opponent like Shin, backing down was not an option.
"JUSTICE WILL NEVER BOW ITS HEAD."
Veins bulged on Fujitora's forehead. Streaks of fire began to tear across the sky—a teor shower.
With his Gravity-Gravity Fruit, Fujitora could pull teors from space, a technique similar to Shin's Tengai Shinsei.
But there was a key difference: the teors Fujitora summoned were pathetically small.
"Oh? You don't care about the people of this country?" Shin asked with a faint smile.
"If I'm using this move, it's because I can ensure no innocent civilians are hard."
Fujitora swung his blade, and the teors that were about to rain down on the country suddenly changed course, all hurtling towards Shin.
"Impressive. Too bad it won't even touch ."
Shin looked up as the teor shower descended. But as the flaming rocks drew near, before they could even make contact, they all shattered into dust.
An invisible field of repulsive force surrounded Shin. Any external force that ca near was instantly deflected.
It was like a form of Vector Manipulation, though the underlying power was different, the result was the sa.
"An attack like this is aningless against . If you can't break through the repulsive field around , you'll never even be able to touch ."
Fujitora showed little reaction to Shin's words. Having fought him before, he was already aware of so of his abilities. He knew how powerful Shin was. But Doflamingo, on the other hand, was starting to feel a sense of despair.
It wasn't that he didn't understand Shin's power—it was that the stronger Shin appeared, the higher the odds of his own death beca.
His face suddenly turned grim. Doflamingo instantly manipulated the surrounding strings, lashing out at Shin.
Imdiately after the attack, Doflamingo decisively used his Sky's Path, attaching strings to the clouds above.
He began to move at high speed. As for how he could attach strings to clouds—perhaps the clouds in the world of One Piece were different.
At this mont, Doflamingo was running for his life.
————————————
"Doflamingo, you cut quite a figure running for your life like that," Shin called out, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Could Shin really allow Doflamingo to escape? A blade of light shot towards Doflamingo, severing the almost invisible strings.
The fleeing Doflamingo plumted from the sky. In an instant, Shin appeared in front of him.
His speed was so imnse that even Fujitora, who had been watching his every move, couldn't react in ti.
It was beyond what his Observation Haki could track, so Fujitora couldn't stop Shin.
Even if he could, he probably wouldn't have.
The reason was simple: Doflamingo was trying to escape. Fujitora wasn't trying to protect Doflamingo.
Or rather, as long as Doflamingo was his prisoner, he would protect him.
But now, Doflamingo was trying to beco a fugitive.
Seeing the descending blade, Doflamingo gritted his teeth and threw his arms up to block, his forearms transforming into a mass of tough strings.
His arms turning to string was similar to elentalization, but there was a difference. The strings were a part of his body. If they were all cut, it would be the sa as his arms being severed.
There was no contest. Shin's blade sliced down, and Doflamingo's arm was severed in an instant.
"Arghh!!"
Doflamingo couldn't help but let out a blood-curdling scream, his already dark face turning pale.
"WAIT." Doflamingo cried out as he saw Shin raise his sword again.
"What is it? Are you scared?" Shin asked.
"I thought I brought you a huge amount of wealth over the years. Why do you want to kill ?" Doflamingo's eyes were filled with resentnt and unwillingness.
"I told you I wanted half your profits, Doflamingo. But don't think you can fool . What you gave probably wasn't even thirty percent of what you earned. I just couldn't be bothered to deal with you before."
Shin sneered. Did Doflamingo really think his little tricks could deceive him? Shin had known all along—he had just been too lazy to deal with him.
