Ch. 124 - Jigsaw

Seeing the unconscious bodies of Ulysses Klaue and Miranda's father, Rick. Doflamingo cannot help but has a grin on his face.

"I've always wanted to be the Jigsaw. I guess they'll be my first victims." Doflamingo started cackling madly before recovering after a few minutes.

"Time to collect my prize." Doflamingo said as he wandered through the halls of the cruise ship before eventually arriving at a certain metallic door.

When Doflamingo opened it, his face was full of smiles as he sensed a familiar material hidden in both small and big containers.

Each container can be found in a luxurious suitcase.

Doflamingo started humming as he tiptoed through every suitcase, opening them to check if each had Vibranium. After confirming, he immediately but carefully places them inside a portal that he conjured, that leads to the laboratory in the Sanctuary.

Being afraid that Richard and Bruce might get reckless, Doflamingo grabbed a piece of paper and a pen to write a note.

[Be careful on this suitcase! One wrong move and no, we won't go kaboom but your project's budget will go kaboom.] After writing these words on the piece of paper, Doflamingo sticked it down on one of the suitcases.

Doflamingo then proceeded to grab more suitcases, emptying the entire room.

"It should be around 29 kg or something. There must be more somewhere around the ship." Doflamingo muttered as he continued his search and as he expected, Ulysses Klaue was indeed cautious so he placed the Vibraniums in more than one secret room.

Doflamingo found two more rooms where he found Vibranium, resulting in another 40 kg Vibranium in his pocket.

"Damn, all these Vibraniums should fetch him almost a billion, in fact, it should be more than a billion. He's already a billionaire if only all of this is legal." Doflamingo hissed as he spoke.

"Alright, that should be everything. Now, it's time to let those two play a game." Doflamingo's face contorted into a grin as he rubbed his hands against each other.

"Huehehehahahahaha!" In the entire cruise ship full of dead bodies, Doflamingo's laugh resonated, which would surely freak out those who are probably nearby.

***

Rick slowly opened his eyes and was met with an unknown ceiling and walls.

"Hmmpppphhh!" Remembering that they were attacked earlier, Rick immediately tried to stand up however, he failed to make a noise and noticed that his mouth was sewed, making it impossible for him to make a noise.

He could also feel a collar on his neck with a chain attached into it.

"Hmm! Hmm!" Slowly raising his hand to touch it, Rick hissed in pain when his finger came in contact with his sewed mouth.

"What the fuck?" Hearing a curse in front of him, Rick saw that Ulysses Klaue was in a similar situation except that instead of having his mouth sewed, his eyelids were sewed instead, at the same time, he also noticed a machine with a circular saw facing each of them.

He also noticed that the chains that were attached on their metallic collar were connected on this machine with a circular saw.

"What the fuck is going on?" Klaue cursed however his sewed eye lids prevented him from seeing anything.

"Hmm!" Rick tried calling out to his name however, since his mouth was sewed, only muffled noise came out.

"What the fuck was that? Why can't I open my eyes?" Klaue then tried to touch his eyes however he did it suddenly and was a bit violent so he accidentally made his eye bleed,

"Ahhhh!" Klaue kneeled in pain as Rick closed his eyes. If he saw something so disgusting anymore, his heart might give up on him causing him a heart attack.

"It hurts fuck! What the fuck is happening! Who are you! Show yourself!" Klaue then started punching his arms around.

As Klaue was punching and turning around, Rick noticed that a key was attached behind Klaue's collar.

Noticing that this must be the key to their chains, Rick wanted to convince Klaue that they both could get out if they cooperated with each other however, seeing how aggressive he is right now, Rick was thinking twice on this decision.

Knowing that he can't convince Klaue to cooperate, Rick started searching his surroundings for any clues and stuff, however that's when the machine suddenly started dragging them while the circular saw also started.

*Rinnngggg!*

Hearing the noise of the circular saw makes Rick become nervous while Klaue was confused.

"What's going on?" Klaue started wondering where the sound came from, that's when he noticed that the chain was dragging him somewhere.

"What the?" When Klaue noticed this, he grabbed the chain and tried to remove it however he failed to do so as the pull was inevitable.

Taking this chance, Rick tried to sneak behind Klaue but failed to do so as the chains on his neck started making noise.

"Who?!" Klaue tried to punch at where he heard the chain, which almost hit Rick.

Rick crouched down and started crawling while holding the chain on his neck so it won't make any noise.

However, the pull of the chain started getting faster as their chains are only 2 meters long and it's nearing 1 and a half meters.

'Shit! I can't sneak behind him in this state!' Rick cursed as a dreadful thought passed on his mind.

'Kill. I have to kill him.'

*Clank!*

Now, the chain is 1 meter long and his time is limited.

'It's just like the old times, huh?' Rick chuckled to himself before standing up and ran towards Klaue.

With one swift move, Rick pushed Klaue towards the circular saw and used his feet to kick him further towards it.

"Ah fuck!" However, Rick was too old for this so his strength isn't that strong while Klaue was somewhere in his middle age.

So, Klaue still managed to hold himself from getting sawed to death however, he got too late so the circular saw still managed to slash his nose.

"Fuck it hurts! Who was that!" Klaue was still hoping that he'd hit someone so he kept swinging his arms around.

"Raaarrgghhh!" With his full strength, Rick ran and pushed Klaue into the circular saw, sawing his entire face as Rick immediately grabbed the key on Klaue's neck and started unlocking the chain on his collar.

"Hmm!" His hands were shaking due to fear, making it harder for him to unlock the collar.

Fortunately, as if God was on his side, he managed to insert the key and twisted it, removing the chain from his collar.

"Hmmff! Hmff!" Rick's legs turned into jelly as he fell on the ground as he breathed heavily through his nose.

*Clap!*

The door that stayed closed earlier opens up with Doflamingo walking in with his hands clapping.

"Congratulations. And here I thought that you'd still fail even after giving you the advantage." Doflamingo said as Rick glared at him, realizing that he's the perpetrator for this torture.

Thankfully, he looked away when the circular saw killed Klaue or else he would have had a heart attack and died on the spot.

"Stop glaring at me or do you want to be submerged in another torture? Just say it, I still have other devices to try." Doflamingo grinned and said, making Rick look away in fear of turning what Doflamingo into truth.

"That's the spirit. It's your luck actually. In fact, I'm not gonna let you be killed even if you failed as I would have saved you. After all, someone wants you to be alive." Doflamingo said while Rick was confused by everything that Doflamingo said. What is his purpose for doing this to him? Who is the person that wants him alive and why would he even subject him to this torture if he's just gonna save him in case he failed anyway?

However, these questions will remain unanswered as his mouth is sewed.

"Let's get your mouth fixed." Doflamingo said as he grabbed a scissor from his pocket.

Realizing what he's about to do, Rick shook his head as he tried to beg Doflamingo to not do what he was thinking.

"Hmpf!" Unfortunately for him, Doflamingo has already been planning this so there won't be anything to change his mind.

***

"Dear, you haven't slept?" Walking down the stairs, Thomas noticed that Miranda was pacing around in the living room.

"I'm just worried about Doflamingo. What if he was caught and tortured by them? We shouldn't have made him go!" Miranda expressed her concerns.

"Miranda, I understand your worries but you have to understand that our son is not like the others. He's like Captain America! Yes, that's right! What if Doflamingo was also injected into a serum that made him strong! Does that mean he's one of the avengers that I've been hearing about?" Thomas got excited by the thought as Miranda can't believe that he's not worried about their son, who is probably in danger!

"How could you even think about unnecessary things! You know how scary my father is and his men, they would jump on him like rabid dogs!" Miranda started punching Thomas on his chest as he tried to stop him.

"Seriously, Miranda. Do you remember that portal thing? Maybe if he's in danger he could just use that to escape!" Thomas shrugged his shoulders as a familiar portal opened up in the living room.

"Speak of the devil." Thomas said in relief as he pointed at the portal.

Miranda turned around and when she saw the portal, she sighed in relief.

"Doflamingo! I'm glad you're fin- Oh my god!" Miranda was about to go and hug Doflamingo when she suddenly saw a glimpse of her father, full of bandages on his mouth.
