Chapter 30

Doflamingo is generally a short tempered person who doesn't like people getting in his way. The unique thing about him is that 90% of the time he is always smiling, even with vein branches covering his face. 

'This kid is adapting and copying my moves.' His face was all contorted and he wanted to rip the red hair into pieces, 'Where did Itachi get this people from?'

He knew that Kisame used to be a slave, but he never to showed himself and kept himself well hidden. Sasori was a mystery and with Doflamingo's information network, he should have already heard about him before. 

The Warlord had infused his strings with armament haki, but Sasori's Chakra threads were still able to deflect his attacks and also put him in a tough position. 

"You are getting on my nerves brat, I will give you that! Your ability is really impressive!" It was similar to his, there was nothing else he could see. 

'I didn't know Chakra threads could be used as a weapon.' As a puppet master Sasori never thought of his threads as weapons, but the Warlord had just taught him that. 

They are all airborne and they are both connecting their threads to clouds. Sasori was not even using his human-puppet form. Doflamingo was infuriated that he had taught him that. 

"Say kid, why don't you work for me."

Unlike Deidara, Sasori was really indifferent to being called kid, he never wanted to grow old. 

"Your sense in art is revolting. You suit better as one of my collections."

"Collection?" Doflamingo was slightly startled, but everything so far has been shocking, "I have somebody who turns people into toys, I am sure you would be good friends."

"Toys?"

Puppets are generally toys, everyone knows that. But, "Such mediocre things don't suit my taste in art. Toys break after sometime, but my art last for ever!"

Sasori's eyes turned blood shot and took out the puppet he had made to fight Itachi before, "I will show you the meaning of an ultimate defeat."

"Oh, that's quite an interesting trick there." The smile on Doflamingo increased, "You are the one who shall face true defeat."

He had thought about using the bird cage, but the chances of Sasori copying that were high. Leaving him with the option of using his awakened abilities. 

"I don't know where you got the copy of my devil fruit from... but you will never reach my level."

He had a hunch that the red haired used to be part of some government experiment project, who was stolen by Itachi. Talk about making an artificial devil fruit has been going around lately and even his backer is looking for them. 

"You are the one who will never reach my level."

Sharp blades came out from the cloaked puppets arms and it didn't waste a second to attack. The Warlord was left stunned, as the puppet seemed to be on par with him. 

"You are really pissing me off."

"You talk to much. Die!!"

Sasori was at a little disadvantage, he didn't have his poison. This made his puppet weaker in terms of it's combat abilities, but there was still one place to find his poison. 

"I will take things into my own hands now." He took off the coat he was wearing and prepared to defeat the Warlord. 

Doflamingo was stunned for a few seconds, "Just what type of devil fruit did you eat?! You must be immortal!"

He could tell that much. The stinger coming from his belly and the divisions on his arms were proof of it. He has to get serious, things are getting out of hand. 

The veins on his head were now like a bunch of worms. Catching Itachi wasn't supposed to be a tough job. He was sure the group had no knowledge about Haki, but why is he on the losing hand? 

"Burn in hell."

Sasori's voice suddenly came from behind him. He didn't have time to turn back as hot flames started to assault him. Doflamingo just smiled and used armament haki to shield himself. 

"!" Sasori was stunned. He had one palm directed up front, 'What is that justu? It is making him immune to my flames.'

"Just of tactics." He didn't want to use this because it reminded him about the crazy laughter he keeps hearing from time to time, "It's over."

Swapping his left arm with the right one, Sasori shot gas poison towards the tall man. 

Doflamingo was shocked greatly. Haki may protect his body like armor, but the poison was affecting his insides. He used his strings to create some distance, but he ended up coughing blood. 

'I could use my strings to heel myself.... but this poison will keep damaging my body, until there is nothing left.'

He needed to extract the poison. It was too deadly for him to handle. It was even eating away the strings he was making inside his body. 

"You don't look so good, I will end your suffering." Sasori wasn't stopping either. His stinger was dripping liquid poison and was aiming for his opponents heart. 

Clang-! 

The Warlord used his haki to defend himself, his physical condition was at its worst. He couldn't keep using his awakened abilities. 

The situation wasn't in Doflamingo's favor and he had no choice but to flee. Sasori wasn't going to repeat the same situation as with Orichimaru. Moving himself in air, he aimed at the Warlord's heart with a swing, but he missed. 

"Darn it! His arm is not enough."
