At this moment.
A black dot appeared on the distant horizon of the sea. Without a doubt, it was almost certainly Doflamingo's pirate ship.
Otherwise, relying solely on his ability to stay airborne by pulling clouds with strings, he wouldn't be able to freely "fly" across this vast ocean.
Although the ever-changing weather of the North Blue paled in comparison to the Grand Line, it still wasn't something to be underestimated.
The atmosphere aboard the merchant ship grew tense.
The only ones who remained calm were Itchi and Doflamingo.
The passengers and sailors, however, had either retreated into the cabins or were peeking out fearfully. Occasionally, the cries of women and children could be heard.
But no one cared!
Doflamingo didn't care, and neither did Itchi—because, at their core, they were the same kind of people.
"Law, I'm looking forward to your explanation..."
Doflamingo smiled as he gazed down at Law, who stood silently below, saying nothing.
"Doflamingo..."
Law lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly.
He tried hard not to let Doflamingo see his face filled with anger because he knew all too well how terrifying and dangerous this man was. Someone who could kill even his own father and brother without hesitation couldn't possibly have any mercy or compassion.
"From his reaction, I don't see anything that suggests he's your subordinate..."
Itchi pointed at Law, whose expression flickered between fear and rage, speaking with a hint of amusement. "Besides, Germa has already extended an invitation to him—and we never take back our invitations!" The only way to revoke a Germa invitation was if the recipient was dead!
As for Bepo, the clueless polar bear standing beside Law, he was completely ignored.
"Hohohoho... Little brat from Germa, watch your tone. Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you've got some skill..." Doflamingo laughed loudly, but his brows furrowed deeply. Beneath his sunglasses, his gaze turned sharp and menacing, laced with killing intent. "This sea isn't weak enough for punks like you to act so cocky. Our Donquixote Family does plenty of business with Germa—even your father, Vinsmoke Judge, shows me some respect..."
"Swish!"
Before his words even faded, Itchi, who had been standing on the ship's railing, transformed into a blur.
"Little brat?"
In the next instant, he appeared right in front of Doflamingo. His right leg instantly turned pitch-black as he swung it toward Doflamingo's abdomen. The veins on his previously pale forehead bulged violently. "You'd better watch your tone, Heavenly Night叉!!"
He threw Doflamingo's earlier words right back at him!
"This kid... such speed..."
Doflamingo's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he raised his leg to block.
"Bang!!"
The pitch-black leg collided with Doflamingo's equally dark, pointed shoe!
"Boom..."
A visible shockwave rippled through the air!
"Whooohh..."
"Ahh... AHHH..."
"Crack..."
The sails were torn to shreds by the terrifying force of the collision. The entire ship was battered by the wind pressure, and cracks began spreading visibly along the mast.
Even Law, standing below, was forced backward by the blast, nearly losing his footing.
"Captain, help..." Beside him, Bepo, looking like a ball, rolled uncontrollably across the deck.
Doflamingo, caught off guard despite using Armament Haki to defend, was still sent flying backward by the sheer force behind Itchi's kick. He was knocked off the top of the mast.
"Do you want me to kill you?"
Itchi's gaze beneath his black sunglasses became razor-sharp, exuding undisguised killing intent as he stared coldly at the falling Doflamingo. "The title of one of the Seven Warlords won't intimidate me..."
"Hohohoho... Impressive strength. I can't imagine what kind of training produced a 'monster' like you..."
Doflamingo rubbed his head, laughing almost maniacally, seemingly praising Itchi.
But then his tone abruptly shifted: "However, don't get too cocky!!"
Silver light flashed between his fingers as he moved them slightly.
In an instant, Doflamingo leapt back onto the mast. His pitch-black right foot brimming with power, he kicked fiercely at Itchi without hesitation.
"You know nothing about this sea, brat who lacks respect!!" Beneath his sunglasses, his gaze turned icy cold. An overwhelming, spine-chilling aura erupted from him, crushing down on Itchi.
"Is that so?" Itchi smirked coldly, sweeping out his right leg coated in Haki. "But I don't agree with that..."
"Boom!!"
A terrifying collision!
The entire mast shattered into pieces, exploding violently.
The two figures froze mid-air, their legs colliding as if time itself had stopped.
"Whooohh... Whooohh..."
Accompanied by an unparalleled display of dominance, a powerful shockwave surged outward!
"Splash... Splash..."
The sea churned violently, and the entire merchant ship rocked intensely.
"Zap... Zap..."
Crimson lightning suddenly appeared, intertwining and flashing like writhing dragons and snakes. In an instant, it spread and expanded...
The visual impact left everyone utterly stunned!
"Thud... Thud..." Amidst this terrifying clash, over a hundred terrified passengers, merchants, and crew members, who had long since hidden in the cabins or corners of the ship, collapsed unconscious with their eyes rolling back.
"I know more about this sea than you do!"
