Capítulo 102: Chapter 102: Reaching the Peak
*Vote Stones Plz*
North Sea, Peraida Kingdom.
What was once a grand and prosperous city had now been reduced to ruins.
Pirates wielding blades and guns were indulging in their desires, plundering, setting fires, crying, cursing, killing. The entire city was in chaos.
As they walked through the city, bodies and charred marks were everywhere, a sight that shook even Rosinante, who wielded the San Dai Kitetsu.
"What is the Vinsmoke Family doing?"
Since they had taken over the city, the civilians here would become their 'subjects.' Letting the pirates rampage freely was not wise at all.
"Vivi-vivi, maybe they're preparing to 'make room'?"
Beside him, Doflamingo held a history book and casually replied.
"Reducing the original population to a certain extent is advantageous for the conquerors. Besides..."
In the streets ahead, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with azure long hair rushed around the corner, holding the hand of a boy around four or five years old.
"Even if it's the Vinsmoke Family, they can't possibly stop these pirates from reveling."
The meaning behind Doflamingo's words was obvious as he nodded toward the girl and the boy in the distance.
Seeing Rosinante and Doflamingo slowly approaching, the girl paused, subconsciously stopping her steps.
The girl had high eyebrows and large eyes, long eyelashes, a beauty in the making. She wore a black nun's outfit and was leading a little boy who bore some resemblance to her. His hair was also azure, with a somewhat 'Super Saiyan' hairstyle.
"Hehehe, don't let her escape!"
"Let me go first—"
"Rotate in!"
Just as Rosinante and Doflamingo blocked their path, five or six lecherous-looking pirates with knives and guns in hand came around the corner, clearly targeting the girl.
The pirates fought for the Vinsmoke Family for beli, women, and to satisfy their desires. If they weren't allowed to plunder, why should they help the Vinsmoke Family?
"Sis, run!"
With no way to go, the little boy with sky-blue hair pushed his sister, then stood in front of the approaching pirates. However, they only kicked him with a flying kick, sending him flying.
"Hehehe, let me go first—"
"Thread Bullet!"
Squelch—
The sound of flesh being pierced was followed by the leader of the pirates falling backward, blood gushing from his forehead as his imagination ran wild.
"Who is it!"
"Looking for death—?!"
Several pirates didn't hesitate to raise their weapons, but upon seeing the iconic pink and pitch-black feathered coats of the two figures across from them, they dropped their weapons with clattering sounds, terrified.
"Tang... Tang... Tang Ji Kede..."
"Ahahahahahaha~~"
"Get lost,"
Doflamingo coolly spat out the word while extending a finger, causing the pirates across from him to scurry back to the street corner they had just come from, as if seeking immediate amnesty, disappearing in an instant.
These were the renowned Tang Ji Kede Family Twin Kings!
Even though they were in the same camp, killing them would be as simple as squashing ants.
It was effortless, and no one would question it.
"Wow... you're amazing!"
The blue-haired little boy who had just crawled up from the ground gazed at Doflamingo in admiration, his entire being filled with awe for the towering figure.
"This... mister, can I follow you?"
Everything that had just happened was a stroke of luck for the siblings, but for Doflamingo, it was merely raising a hand when he was in a good mood.
However, faced with the boy who bowed in reverence, Doflamingo was momentarily taken aback.
Did I use King's Haki or not—
"Vivi-vivi, follow me?"
Doflamingo's gaze lowered, and he saw a mix of hatred, anger, desire, and admiration in the boy's eyes.
Hatred for his own weakness, anger at the destruction of his homeland by pirates, desire to kill enemies, admiration for the mighty Doflamingo...
He's a good prospect.
In an instant, this thought flashed through Doflamingo's mind.
"Good look in your eyes. You can come with us, provided you can stay alive!"
After saying this, Doflamingo turned to look at Rosinante, who simply shrugged. After all, the Tang Ji Kede Family's assets would continue to grow in the future, and it was necessary to cultivate more personnel of their own.
"Let's go,"
Rosinante and Doflamingo stepped towards the palace at the center of the city, and the siblings followed closely behind.
For these siblings, the two boys ahead of them were their guarantee for survival in this chaotic city, their saviors.
Swoosh—
"Doflamingo, Rosinante."
A figure emerged from the ground, and it was the elegant young gentleman Pick, with black wavy hair, a black suit, and a flowered scarf.
"Everyone's here..."
Pick glanced at the siblings following the two, obviously inquiring about their identities. Rosinante shook his head slightly, indicating that they should wait a moment before discussing it.
Swish,
Swish,
Swish,
As Rosinante and Doflamingo advanced, others kept leaping towards them:
Jora, Vergo, Diamante, they were all carrying various bags as they returned one by one. Until a collapsed building appeared ahead, and with a cane in hand, the now more 'symmetrical' Trebol beckoned them over.
"This way, Doflamingo, Rosinante!"
As everyone reached the collapsed building, Trebol rubbed his hands together, an excited and cunning expression on his face.
"Hehehe, I said, I said... Who are these two little rascals?"
Faced with the Tang Ji Kede Family members who were all turning their heads to look at them, the siblings behind Rosinante and Doflamingo suddenly felt a chill, as if their throats were being gripped.
Even if they didn't actively release their presence, the aura emanating from the family members was something ordinary people couldn't resist.
"I... I... I'm Viviarella,"
The girl with light blue hair stepped in front of her brother and introduced herself while trembling.
"Please... please..."
"I'm Gladys!"
It was the little boy behind her who took a step forward, bowing excitedly to the crowd.
"Please take care of me, older brothers!"
?!
Gladys, isn't he...
Rosinante's gaze fell on the little boy, unexpectedly meeting the future Tang Ji Kede Family's 'Gunner' here.
It's not surprising that Rosinante didn't recognize him. The future Gladys typically wore a top hat or helmet, round lenses, and a mask, practically having 'mysterious person' written all over his face. It would be impossible to recognize him!
"Vivi-vivi, this little guy is pretty good."
For some reason, Doflamingo felt somewhat 'sympathetic' towards the other side, actually offering an explanation.
"In the future, follow us as reserve members of the family."
...
"Since Doflamingo has said it, there's no need to hide anymore."
Diamante said as he opened his pocket, revealing several swords and spears.
"These are spoils of war I've collected. They're all of decent quality. If any of you need them, you can take them as temporary weapons."
While the quality of these weapons might not reach the level of the "Ryusoken," they were still respectable weapons.
"These are what I've collected,"
Vergo opened his pocket, revealing a large amount of bloodstained beli and silver.
"It's a pity. I was planning to use my 'pocket ability' to accumulate enormous wealth for the family..."
"You haven't eaten a Devil Fruit, have you?"
Rosinante remarked casually,
And Vergo, his cheek stained with a coin, nodded,
"Yeah, I'm not a Devil Fruit user. Even if I collected more treasures, I wouldn't be able to bring them back."
... Is he going senile at such a young age? Rosinante rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Hehehe, but we can."
Trebol grinned happily, then patted Pica, who stood beside him like a stone idol.
"Pica, it's your turn."
"No problem,"
With a high-pitched voice, Pica lightly tapped the ground, and the earth in the center of the group split open like a 'mouth.' It then swallowed up the weapons Diamante had collected, the beli and silver collected by Pick and Vergo, and the information collected by Jora.
As the earth writhed, all these things were buried deep underground, tens of meters below!
Except for Pica and Pick, it would be a massive project for the others to retrieve these items.
Although Vince Smoke Gazi had mentioned that the share of spoils for the Tang Ji Kede Family wouldn't be small, during the attack on the royal palace, the looting by various pirate groups was something everyone accepted.
How much you could grab depended entirely on your abilities!
With both Pick and Pica, capable of freely maneuvering within structures, Rosinante naturally wanted them to thoroughly plunder everything they could find.
"Ha ha ha, let's go, and attend the celebration banquet of the Vince Smoke Family."
After dealing with these matters, the group headed toward the palace at the center of the city.
At the same time, more and more satisfied pirates, carrying treasures, adorned with gold and silver, and even dragging along young women, were gathering to celebrate the rise of the Vince Smoke Family.
The Piralda Kingdom, destroyed!
————
Boom...
In the Edwarde Sea, a terrifying battle shook the heavens and the earth.
"God's Avoidance!"
Roger, charging through the air, swung his sword, and wherever the peerless Ryusoken "Ace" struck, it tore open strips of black lightning... or rather, rifts!
The unfortunate captain of the "Flying Pirates," caught on the edge of a rift, let out a miserable cry as a fine black crack reached from his left shoulder to his right leg. Instantly, blood gushed out wildly, and he was nearly torn in half, dying on the spot.
There was no hint that he was a bounty worth over a hundred million.
In the presence of true top-tier experts, the shockwaves alone could kill hundreds of millions of grand pirates and ordinary Vice Admirals.
"Lion Slash Sky!"
And Golden Lion Shiki, with his golden hair trailing behind him, refused to be outdone. The swords in his hands intersected forcefully! Terrifying Armament Haki instantly turned "Sakura" and "Moku Kuro" into pitch-black shadows.
As the two top-tier experts clashed, their three weapons collided!
Space twisted, trembled, moaned, and ruptured in their wake! The aura of devastation brewed and rapidly surged.
?!
Faced with this scene, even the powerful fighters nearby, like Rayleigh and Barrett, frowned and quickly moved away.
It wasn't that they were afraid, but this was a captain-to-captain showdown.
Boom—
The domineering auras from their clash surged in all directions, as if invisible Sea Kings were running wild, trampling everything!
On the nearby "Flying Pirates" ships that were getting closer, a large number of high-ranking members with bounties in the tens of millions were struck by the dominating aura. They vomited foam from their mouths and collapsed with rolling white eyes.
Immediately afterward, the waves surged!
The impact from the collision created waves that soared dozens of meters high. For a moment, it was as if they weren't standing on a ship but had been thrown high by the hands of giants! Countless ships rolled in the massive waves, then were ruthlessly crushed into the sea.
"Medium Bullet!"
Back on his own ship, Barrett's fists slammed onto the deck, and his whole body quickly merged with the "Oro Jackson." His Armament Haki rapidly swept across the deck, the sides of the ship, and the sails, causing the entire ship to shimmer with a metallic gleam.
With Barrett's Devil Fruit ability and Armament Haki, the Oro Jackson was impervious to cannon fire, unaffected by the waves, and even the haphazard Devil Fruit abilities of the Flying Pirates couldn't shake this pirate ship.
"Hehaha, Roger!"
Since the start of the battle, the Flying Pirates had already lost over a dozen ships, and casualties numbered over a thousand! But for Golden Lion Shiki, these were just constantly replenished "cannon fodder."
Different from other pirates, Shiki used his "Fuwa Fuwa no Mi" ability to lift over a dozen islands thousands of meters into the sky, establishing his own kingdom! With this solid base of operations, he wasn't afraid of attrition warfare at all.
"Your men are getting hurt, facing losses, while mine are endlessly abundant—"
"Become my right-hand man, let's conquer this world together!"
"Heh, conquer this world?"
Hearing Golden Lion Shiki's lofty words, Rosinante only chuckled coldly.
"This world is so vast, it's not so easily conquered, Shiki!"
