189 Chapter 189

On the edges of Dressrosa, stood Alvida, Calorina, Lilia, Kaya, and Hina, all were wearing casual clothes. In front of them, big sharp strings were approaching and cutting everything on their way.  Behind them, some people were running. 

"Girls, are you sure we can stop this," Hina said, extending cage bars from the ground. She, since got her potential unlocked, and had her fruit for a long time, got awaken. The cage worked as a temporary solution to hold the cage, but it won't hold any longer.

Calorina was in her giant form x20 was squatting on the ground and pushing back the cage while covering her hands with Haki.  She looked down to Alvida and asked," what is your plan."

The cage seemed to approach slower than it used to be, which made Calorina think that she is pushing. Unknown to her, if she just looked behind, she would clearly see Lucci who happened to be a recent crewmate, in the other side, pushing the cage with her hybrid of Sea Monster and the human form. 

Alvida held her chin and put her hand on the cage before saying. "Extend it while keeping one."

Calorina did as she was told and used the awakening ability, controlling the size of the Bird-Cage. 

(before anyone says that Doflamingo said the cage is covered by Sea Stone, know this: it's not a plot hole, people lie, bluff.)

The cage extended 50 times, allowing it to get very far, which gave this country space for breathing.

In this country, the people stopped running as they saw the threads getting away. 

Behind them, there was Lucci, who was pushing, suddenly fell to the ground.  

"Now what," Calorina asked backing for normal.

"Let's look for the bastard," Alvida said. After touching the cage, it became smoother, which would make it eventually slide on the humans and the buildings once it gets to Dressrosa. Well, she can be wrong, but who cares.

The girls looked at each other and nodded. Though they knew that Lucas must be dealing with him, there is no harm of looking for Doflamingo. 

"Hina feels weird. Where Lucas goes, strange things like this happen." 

Hina lowered her head and looked at the ground. She thought back when Lucas said he needed a vacation to go to Alabasta, and then, they found about Crocodile abusing to his seat. Now the same thing repeated – except that the situation here is worse.

-x-X-x-

Doflamingo flew to the middle of the capital of Dressrosa, feeling pain between his legs. He never expected that his balls would be crushed and he would experience a pain like that. 

'That damns Law, since when did he learn to play this dirty.'  

Doflamingo's crushed ball and cut finger made a thread linked to his original body. And eventually, would fly to him. Thanks to his tolerance, Doflamingo was able to stand up. He looked around him to see that he was surrounded by several houses, and he was standing alone in those streets.

Suddenly, Lucas appeared on top of one building, while Gion appeared later next. 

"Give up Doffy, and let me punch you peacefully, I'll be merciful," Lucas said, thinking that he can milk some XP from him. 

Doflamingo gave him a glance saying no. "Awaken." He touched the building next to him, and it morphed into tens of thousands of threads that had its tip black. Gion sharpened her gaze and ran toward Doflamingo, only to find a wall of threads blocking her way, which made her use her sword to block before she switches her angle and ran forward, like a rabbit, dodging everything.

The other threads headed toward Lucas, who could easily dodge since he activated Adrenaline Boost, appearing in a different spot. Doflamingo touched the ground and another house, to transform into millions of thin thread, of course, sharp.  

"Useless, you can't get closer to me," Doflamingo said, only to find Gion in front of him with her sword, which he blocked, but to get only a cut on his chest. Usually, he would dodge, but the pain in his legs is still there.

Gion looked at him ready to slash again.  

Doflamingo unleashed his conqueror Haki and the ground transformed, forcing the woman to flip back. 

'hmm, it won't work again.'

As Doflamingo unleashed his momentum, a red air bullet passed by his neck and made a slight cut which had a burn mark next to it.  

Lucas, who was still on top of one non-morphed building, looked to his finger that had smoke unleashing and exhaled on it. 

 [Finger Gun +5.000 XP]

Glaring at Lucas who extended his finger aiming at him, Doflamingo moved his hand forward, and hundreds of millions of threads moved from the surrounding and headed toward Lucas. Gion saw this and was about to jump and push Lucas to dodge. 

"Useless."

Lucas said. This time, he decided to show Doflamingo who is the boss here. 

He reached his waist and took the Silver Scimitar. As the threads wave got close, Lucas appeared back, on the ground, lifting his silver scimitar that turned black. 

Gion felt the next attack with her observation Haki and halted her step. 

<< Itoruy: Phoenix-Dragon cannon>> 

As soon as he waved it, sword energy flew from the blade and formed a 25 meters long dragon. Upon clashing with air, the sword energy seemed to get covered by flames and white smoke. 

Doflamingo clenched his teeth, thinking that the battle is tough and he has to retreat maybe until he put pleasure on the Celestial Dragons. As for the sword energy, he can block it.  He lifted his hand, and all the houses that turned into strings moved and made a very thick wall to block it.

But unfortunately for Doflamingo, that was no regular attack. 

<<More-More: Size Increase 20 times>>

Lucas just made a little one in case. He didn't even use his swordsmanship seriously, so no harm of adding a bit of Devil Fruit power. 

"What!" 

Gion who was preparing to send a swords energy as well opened her jaw in shock, as she saw the Dragon's size become 500 meters, along with the fire. 'This is a high level of swordsmanship.' No wonder that he is acting recklessly; he just got that fruit, which would make any swords grandmaster a real monster. 

*BAM* 

The threads wall got crushed by the sword energy alone, burning the threads into ashes, and creating a big shockwave. 

Doflamingo was hit by the shockwave and flew back, crushing tens and tens of the houses, before making a step in the air to regain his balance.  Just now, he realised that Gion isn't the only problem, but Lucas was a bigger one. Just now, Doflamingo realised that he has no chance and that Lucas was toying with him all along. It was obvious from seeing that his threads not doing damage to him.  No wonder he defeated Vergo easily. But why Vergo said it's only monstrous physical strength. 

Doflamingo knew that he has no chance against Admiral Candidate and Vice Admiral, who was a monster swordsman. He needs to retreat, and expose what he just concluded right now to Emperor Kaido, and then he would come back and avenge the humiliation he got. 

[DFM +10.000 XP]

'Cool' Lucas smiled. It seems that strong opponent, not only gain him huge XP on his skill and specialities but his Devil Fruit Mastery. 

'I have no choice but to escape,' Doflamingo thought. He didn't go back to the battlefield. Instead, he used the momentum generated by the shockwave and flew back along with it, extending his speed. 

 "COME ON? IT'S ONLY ONE SWORD," mockingly, Lucas yelled as he saw Doflamingo retreating, leaving his balls behind.

"Two may be good, but it lowers the speed slightly. One sword can be faster and stronger" Gion appeared next Lucas and said, "You did well, rest and leave the rest for me."

Lucas looked at her and smiled. "Do you prefer one sword."

Lucas got a knock on his head as he saw her frowning, "you know, after I heard the conversation, I started to doubt your innocently."

"What are you talking about, I'm talking about weapons." 

Lucas asked innocently. 

"Good, if that what you mean."

"Why, are their other meanings for the sword."

Lucas didn't smile and played along with her. 

"Yes, there are, such as discipline, commitment, lifestyle and so, Little Lucas." She said, feeling a bit embarrassed and gave him a simple knock on his head. Only had she knew that Lucas is teasing her. 

Doflamingo flinched when he heard Lucas's provocation, yet his priority was to escape. Once he gets out of the cage, he will clench his hand and in instant, most of the popularity of Dressrosa would die, and both of Gion and Lucas would take the responsibility of provoking a warlord. 

Doflamingo won't forget to put pressure on the Celestial Dragons to assure that to happen. 

In his way, he met with a lot of people that knew him, so he unleashed his Conqueror Haki knocking out them. He looked around to see a mixed-race army celebrating taking the factory. Around, Pica was done for, Diamante was done for as well, and everyone from his teammates was done, while some had betrayed him.

"Wait... everything is clear now... his original target is SMILE Factory."

Doflamingo looked forward to noticing something. The Bird Cage he cast around the city seemed to get bigger and get far away from Dressrosa. Just what the hell happened.  He was curious but he didn't have time to think of an answer to that. Doflamingo's priority was to escape. When he got to the edges of this country, he heard a feminine yell from a woman that was flying in the air. She was so beautiful and a stunning woman that she can charm both of the genders.

"I found the bastard. "

Alvida yelled as soon as she saw Doflamingo. 

"Get out of my way," Doflamingo said. 

But then, a short blonde woman with green eyes appeared in front of him. She had both of her hands turning into multi-blades, that became black ink. 

Doflamingo felt that she was Swords Grandmaster. Lilia then waved her hand openly at Doflamingo and waved her hand at every direction creating a net <<Ten Swords style: bloody net>>. 

Unlike Lucas, she doesn't have XP to worry about, so there is no need to hold back. Doflamingo could barely dodge, as his arm was cut and fell down, and deep wounds appeared on his chest, but he managed to dodge and avoid her. On the ground, suddenly, large deep cut marks appeared. 

"Only if I reach that place."

Doflamingo floated higher, trying to run. 

But then, Calorina appeared in front of him, clenching her fist. She increased her size 50 times since it was her current limit and aimed her fist at Doflamingo. 

"Pica, did they gender-bend you."  Doflamingo made a joke looking at the woman who just a moment ago was half his height—He is the Joker, after all. 

"Shut up," Calorina yelled as she punched forward with Haki covering her hand. Doflamingo, this time, had no choice to dodge but to take it. The girl was already strong in small form, so when the muscle volume increased, the outcome increased. Even Lucas would find such punch painful and helpful at Body Training. 

Taking the big fist to his body, Doflamingo flew to the other side of the island with blood flying out of his mouth and wounds. The only thing he could do was to make the damage less using the threads by linking them to the ground and putting them behind his back. 

While flying back, Doflamingo opened his arm and made a large smile. "You fool, you fell for it... I tricked you." 

As Alvida was about to chase after him while floating, one figure appeared in front of her and the other girls. 

"Vice Admiral Momousagi."

"Girls... what are you doing here." 

Gion, who was chasing after Doflamingo, reached this spot, to find the latter had already gone to the other spot. She saw Calorina, Lilia and the others who happened to came here with Lucas from Paradise. She just now saw how Doflamingo got a powerful punch and flew back, while Lilia managed to cut an arm easily without relying on a sword. She knew that those have a scary Devil Fruits, but Lucas was the one who had the scariest of all. 

"Vacation."

Hina answered taking a cigarette out of her mouth. As far as she knows, those girls are on vacation, like Lucas. 

Wait a second. That sound suspicious, why are they here as well. Did Lucas bring them for help? 

-x-X-x-

On the other side, as Doflamingo was enjoying the flight, he saw something flying toward him. It was very high, yet descending very fast, and didn't feel heavy at all. At best, this thing is heavy as a light bullet.

"Kyahaha... That's for having a creepy laugh as well." 

Mikita was flying toward Doflamingo very fast. As soon she got close, she opened her leg and kicked him in the stomach. "Though I can do 200.000 tons, just try to take ten thousand."

Doflamingo suddenly felt that he got a very fast and heavy kick on his leg, which sent him flying to the ground, causing a big shockwave that destroyed half of this city and made a deep large hole. 

"you are a fool." Doflamingo smiled.

 Mikita kicked the air and floated ready to give a finisher. But then Doflamingo on the ground turned into thread. That was just a threads clone.

It seems that what she kicked now was a threads clone. 

Mikita saw this and started to shake from anger "You think you can run." She closed her eyes and started scanning with Haki, like every girl else. 

'Now, where is he.'
