Ignoring Doflamingo’s look of despair, Shin swung his sword down, aiming for his head.
CLANG!
At the last second, Fujitora’s cane sword intercepted Shin’s Ama no Murakumo Sword, blocking the fatal blow. Shin’s brow instantly furrowed.
Though he didn’t know why Fujitora had intervened again, Shin felt that perhaps he had been too lenient with him before.
“Was I too lenient with you last time, Fujitora?”
Shin’s voice was arctic. With another press of his blade, he shattered Fujitora’s cane sword. The follow-through of the attack left a deep, bone-jarring gash on Doflamingo’s body.
Because Fujitora had blocked for a moment, Doflamingo had escaped with his life. Otherwise, Shin’s strike would have taken his head.
The Ama no Murakumo Sword vanished. A white halo, the signature of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, enveloped Shin’s fist as he threw a punch at Fujitora.
Crack!
The air itself seemed to shatter like a broken mirror, and cracks appeared all over Fujitora’s body.
The bones within him had been shattered. Fujitora couldn’t even support himself.
With a single punch, Shin had crippled him. Though he wasn’t dead, Fujitora’s combat ability was gone.
His body was wracked with comminuted fractures. Unless he could get a new body, he would never recover.
“Be grateful I didn’t kill you. This is my mercy,” Shin said, looking at the paralyzed Admiral.
He hadn’t killed him, but it wasn’t out of mercy. For Fujitora now, death would have been a better fate. Though he was alive, living would be a greater torment.
“The people I decide to kill don’t get to escape, Doflamingo. Are you sure you want to keep running?”
“And let me warn you, if you run, your end will be a hundred times more miserable. I, Shin Uzumaki, always keep my word.”
Crippling Fujitora with a single punch had raised Shin’s deterrent effect to its peak. Doflamingo hesitated, his escape coming to a halt.
Without a doubt, choosing to flee meant certain death. Shin Uzumaki’s strength was even greater than he had imagined.
To cripple an Admiral with a single punch… what did that even mean? Doflamingo couldn’t even begin to comprehend it. This strength was too great, ridiculously so…
————————————
“I think you don’t need to kill me. I’m worth more to you alive,” Doflamingo said with a fawning smile.
Now, to survive, Doflamingo felt that even a bit of humiliation was nothing. Only by living could he have a future. If he died, he would have nothing.
“That’s right. I can’t deny that a living you could indeed create value for me. But right now, I want you dead.”
Shin’s calm words left Doflamingo with no way out.
He was telling him clearly—’I’m going to kill you. If you don’t want to die, then fight back.’
“Is there really no room for negotiation?” Doflamingo looked up and asked Shin.
“Of course not. The only variable is how I’m going to kill you.”
Shin once again used his Glint-Glint Fruit to create the Ama no Murakumo Sword.
“Do you regret it, Fujitora? If you hadn’t stopped me, I might have let you go. Actually, I think I’ve been very merciful, allowing a little ant to jump around in front of me. Unfortunately, my mercy also has a time limit.”
Shin turned his back to Fujitora, walking towards Doflamingo as he spoke calmly.
Now Shin really wanted to know if Fujitora had any regrets. At this moment, Fujitora had lost everything.
His body was completely crippled, and his ideals and ambitions would never be realized.
Fujitora didn’t answer Shin. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but that he couldn’t. All the bones in his body, including those in his face, were shattered.
It was a miracle he was still alive.
Clearly, Shin had deliberately left him alive.
“Shin Uzumaki, you’ll fall to the Celestial Dragons! You have no idea how deep their power truly runs.”
Doflamingo spoke up at this moment, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Shin.
Right now, Doflamingo was just venting. With no hope of escape, he was in complete despair. His current fate was even more miserable than in the original story.
In the original story, he had at least survived, just locked up in the great underwater prison.
Countless sharp strings that could cut through steel gathered together, forming an enormous blade. With a wave of Doflamingo’s hand, it slashed down towards Shin.
“A desperate struggle.”
Shin swung his sword. Before Doflamingo’s attack could even reach him, he had already cut off his head.
It was that simple and clean. With a single slash, he had decapitated Doflamingo.
“I just came here to watch the show, and I ended up killing Doflamingo myself.”
Shin couldn’t help but say. He had come purely for the entertainment, but a few words from Doflamingo had dragged him in and led to his death.
He wondered if Doflamingo would cry if he knew. No, that was a stupid thought. Doflamingo was already dead—how could he cry?
————————————
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached. Shin looked up and saw Luffy and his crew running towards them.
Without a navigator like Nami, how did they even make it to the New World? Must be that main character plot armor at work.
It couldn’t have been easy.
“It’s you?” Luffy still remembered Shin and was very surprised to see him.
But Usopp’s reaction wasn’t so good. He was trembling all over. They had just escaped one crisis, and now they were facing another powerhouse.
One of the Four Emperors—no, he wasn’t one of the Four Emperors anymore, because Kaido was already dead.
“You seem surprised,” Shin said to Luffy with a faint smile.
“Yeah, it’s pretty surprising.” Luffy smiled broadly. He wasn’t afraid of Shin at all. After all, they hadn’t crossed each other, and they weren’t enemies. Why should he be afraid?
Zoro looked at Shin with a fighting spirit. He wanted to challenge him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Even Mihawk was no match for him.
“Hey, look! That Flamingo is dead!” Luffy pointed at Doflamingo’s corpse and shouted.
They had defeated Doflamingo’s subordinates and were on their way to take down the man himself.
But now, they didn’t need to do anything. Doflamingo’s head was separated from his body. He was clearly dead.
Seeing Doflamingo dead, Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.
