Capítulo 157: 157: The Fall of the Donquixote Family and the Sky-Splitting Black Slash 

Just as Diamante, wielding his rapier, was about to give chase, an overwhelming aura descended upon him. The force locked onto him so tightly that even his hand holding the sword trembled slightly. A bead of cold sweat involuntarily slid down his forehead.

"D-Damn it!"

"Your opponent is me." The black-haired young man, eyes still closed, smiled faintly at them. "Today marks the downfall of the Donquixote Family."

"Don't get ahead of yourself, you bastard!"

A burly man with a shrill voice, Pica, melded into the ground using his Devil Fruit ability, launching an attack on Ron. Spikes of stone erupted from beneath Ron's feet, aiming to skewer him.

But with a flash of movement, Ron vanished.

"W-Where is he?!"

Trebol frantically scanned his surroundings.

Senor Pink's voice trembled as he shouted, "Diamante, in front of you—"

Before he could finish, Diamante, already using his Observation Haki, sensed the intense danger. His eyes widened as he saw the black-haired young man step directly in front of him, blade descending in a swift arc.

"This attack... How could it possibly—"

Before Diamante could finish his thought, as he lifted his rapier to counter, a sudden chill enveloped his neck. He glanced downward and saw countless crimson droplets of blood floating upwards in the sunlight, shimmering brilliantly.

His pupils shrank.

"T-That's... my blood?"

"How could this be... When did he... He hadn't even drawn his blade..."

"How... did I die?"

One of the top executives of the Donquixote Family, Diamante, fell with his final question unanswered, his consciousness fading into oblivion.

Pica, Trebol, Senior Pink, and the other executives stood frozen, staring at Diamante, who collapsed to his knees, blood spraying from his neck. Standing behind him was the black-haired young man, his face calm and unreadable.

"Diamante... is dead?!"

"Why?"

"What just happened?"

From their perspective, all they saw was the black-haired youth with closed eyes appear in front of Diamante, blade in hand. As he stepped past Diamante, his blade flashed.

Diamante hadn't even managed to retaliate. He had barely raised his rapier, yet he seemed to move several beats slower than the youth.

It was utterly incomprehensible!

As Diamante's body fell, Ron softly uttered the name of his mist technique.

"Mist Breathing, Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds."

The swordsmanship was like mist—ethereal, illusory, and unpredictable.

Under the influence of this strike, the boundaries between speed and stillness blurred.

Although the slash was executed at lightning speed, to the one being cut, it appeared unbearably slow.

Ron's expression remained indifferent as he casually swung the bloodied black blade in his hand. The blood was flung off in a single motion, revealing the blade's cold, gleaming sharpness.

"Tempest Kick!"

Ain, seeing both Zephyr and Ron engage in battle, didn't wait any longer. She unleashed a Tempest Kick at Trebol, sending a sharp blade of wind slicing toward him.

"Not on my watch!"

Noticing the incoming attack, Senor Pink stomped his foot and charged forward. His fist, hardened with Armament Haki, smashed into the azure wind blade, shattering it with brute force.

With every move, the tide of battle shifted, leaving the remaining Donquixote Family members in shock and terror. The air was charged with tension, and the black-haired youth's calm demeanor made him seem all the more invincible.

Ain's figure flickered as she used Shave to appear in front of Senor Pink, her sword wrapped in Armament Haki slicing down with immense force.

Senor Pink crossed his arms to block the strike, his limbs reinforced with Armament Haki. However, the power behind Ain's sword was too overwhelming, sending him flying backward. Just as he was about to crash into a building, he activated his Devil Fruit ability, merging into the building's liquid-like structure to avoid the impact.

Ain's sharp eyes narrowed as she expanded her Observation Haki, scanning for his next move.

Elsewhere, Trebol, Pica, and the remaining combat-ready Donquixote Family executives launched a coordinated assault on the black-haired youth standing calmly in the middle of the street. A barrage of unique abilities rained down on Ron. Yet no matter how relentless the attacks were, they couldn't even graze him—not even the hem of his cloak.

Ron's second strike of the day was swift and decisive. With a single swing of his blade, he cleaved Gladius, the Pom-Pom Fruit user, in two. The crescent-shaped arc of pitch-black sword energy tore through his body like a hot knife through butter, leaving a diagonal slash that split him cleanly apart.

The third strike followed.

In one motion, the weight-enhancing duo, Machvise and Dellinger, were dispatched, their fates sealed by the dark blade's unparalleled sharpness.

The fourth strike brought Trebol's demise. A ferocious flying slash severed his head from his body, ending his sticky schemes in an instant.

"D-Damn it!!!"

Consumed by a mix of rage and fear as his comrades fell one after another, Pica pushed his Devil Fruit power to its limits. He transformed into an enormous rock giant, towering over 900 meters tall. His massive form was so gargantuan that a single hand was the size of an entire village, casting a shadow that blotted out the sun.

Far away in the flower fields, Rebecca, who was training with the one-legged toy soldier in swordsmanship and combat, froze in shock as she stared at the colossal figure standing in the middle of the town.

"T-That... what is that?!"

"That's Pica, one of the top executives of the Donquixote Family," the toy soldier, once Kyros, said gravely. "What on earth is happening today? First, the King's Plateau was destroyed, and now Pica has been forced into such a desperate state."

His tone grew even more somber. "What in the world is happening in Dressrosa?!"

Back in town, the giant rock hand descended, aiming to crush Ron beneath its massive weight.

Standing mid-air with his black blade in hand and his eyes still closed, Ron let out a light chuckle. "Big, sure. But it's still useless. If you're going to use something that size to smash me, it's... a little too small."

He swung his black blade, infused with Armament Haki.

It wasn't a named technique, just a pure slash powered by a grandmaster's strength and Haki.

A crescent of black sword energy, spanning several kilometers, sliced through the rock giant cleanly, splitting it in two from the middle.

"Wha—?!"

Rebecca and the toy soldier, witnessing this from afar, were utterly stunned, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. Their jaws practically hit the ground.

Ron wasn't done. With a horizontal slash, another black arc tore through the air, flying over the flower fields.

The colossal rock body was quartered—its halves becoming four.

Then another slash. Four became eight.

Ron continued his relentless onslaught. A single slash turned into eight, intersecting and dividing the once-massive rock body into countless fragments.

Rebecca and the toy soldier could only stand frozen, their minds struggling to comprehend what they were seeing.

Black arcs of sword energy, each spanning thousands of meters, shot out from the town's center, scattering in all directions and carving through the sky.

Rebecca's hands trembled as she stared at the spectacle, her voice filled with disbelief.

"T-This... this... is this swordsmanship?!"

Her eyes were glued to the black arcs tearing through the heavens, a mixture of awe and reverence overwhelming her.

The toy soldier, however, cared less about the terrifying slashes themselves and more about the person wielding such destructive power. Who could be fighting Pica and the Donquixote Family with such ferocity?

Under Ron's relentless barrage of sword strikes, Pica was completely consumed by fear. His body trembled as he lost all will to resist.

This wasn't even close to being a fair fight.

Whether it was Haki or sheer power, that monster outclassed him in every conceivable way.

If this continued, Pica knew he'd be cut down like the others—bisected and left lifeless.

"If... if I can just reach the ground... If I can just get there... If I can just escape to that place..."

Cowering in a chunk of floating rock, Pica clung to a desperate hope of retreating to the safety of the ground and fleeing far away from this horrifying man.

But to his despair, every piece of rock Ron had shattered was still floating high in the air, completely defying gravity. None of it showed any sign of falling—except for the piece Pica hid inside.

"Found you."

Ron swung his blade downward.

Pica, hiding in his tiny rock shelter, saw the incoming slash and realized there was no escape. He could no longer use his Devil Fruit ability to dodge. His only option was to harden his entire body with Armament Haki and take the attack head-on.

And then...

The blade cleaved through him effortlessly, slicing him in half at the waist.

Sugar, who had just regained consciousness, opened her eyes groggily. The first thing she saw was the massive floating chunks of rock in the sky and Pica's bloodied, bisected corpse falling toward the ground.

"Wha—?!!!"

Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in terror.

Letting out a piercing scream, her face went pale, and she fainted once again, this time from sheer fright.

The immense emotional shock broke the spell of her Hobby-Hobby Fruit.

All across Dressrosa, countless toys reverted to their original human forms.

Nearby, Rebecca's one-legged toy soldier also transformed—returning to his true self, her father, Kyros. A flood of memories rushed through Rebecca's mind in an instant.

"F-Father..."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at him, her voice trembling with joy.

"Rebecca!"

Kyros, now back in his human body, was equally overwhelmed with emotion.

For years, darkness had shrouded Dressrosa. But on this seemingly ordinary day, with the arrival of just three people, dawn had finally broken.

Ain, without hesitation, slashed through Senor Pink's arms with a single strike. Following up with a ruthless Tempest Kick, she sent a sharp wind blade slicing across his neck.

Senior Pink's headless body collapsed to the ground, marking yet another fallen executive. The Donquixote Family's core members were now nearly wiped out.

In the sky, the massive chunks of rock floated motionlessly under Ron's control. With a wave of his hand, they converged toward a single location, forming a towering mound.

After finishing this task, Ron descended gracefully to Ain's side.

"Let's go. The old man Zephyr should be finishing up soon."

Ain nodded silently, and the two headed toward the outskirts of the city.

At the outskirts of Dressrosa, beneath the hill of the flower fields, a figure flew like a cannonball, crashing into the mountainside at tremendous speed.

Boom!

The impact caused countless cracks to spread across the mountain face, which then collapsed entirely.

The entire hill, along with the flower fields above and the artificial Devil Fruit factory below, trembled violently.

"What's happening?!"

Kyros and Rebecca, their reunion interrupted, turned their attention to the flower fields' base, anxiety etched on their faces.

At the foot of the hill stood Zephyr, exuding an aura of dominance and bloodlust. He stared coldly at the pile of rubble before him.

"What's wrong, Doflamingo? Is this all you've got?"

"Without your dirty tricks, is this the limit of your strength?"

From within the rubble, Doflamingo's sinister laugh rang out, full of rage and mockery.

"Hahahaha! A Seastone weapon specifically designed to counter Devil Fruit users? I'll admit—it's far more effective than Haki."

Doflamingo's bloodied figure emerged, wearing his iconic pink feathered coat. Despite the injuries on his face and body, his eyes burned with fury.

"But Zephyr, you're no longer the Black Arm Admiral of your prime. And I... am not the man I was back then. Do you really think that toy will be enough to kill me?"

As his words echoed, the rubble, the ground, and even the mountain wall behind him transformed into countless white threads that spread outward, engulfing the area.

Standing amidst this white-threaded world, Doflamingo looked like a ruler commanding his domain, his aura both tyrannical and unyielding.

Zephyr's eyes narrowed. "Devil Fruit awakening... So, this is your trump card."

"Hahaha!" Doflamingo grinned maniacally. "Let's finish this, Zephyr. Today, it's either you or me!"

Zephyr smirked. "Perfect. That's just how I like it."

Swish!

Both figures vanished simultaneously.

"Surge White Wave!"

"Smash Fist!"

Zephyr's Haki-hardened fist collided with Doflamingo's massive, blackened wave of threads.

The resulting shockwave was cataclysmic. The earth itself was torn apart, and fierce winds blew away distant buildings. For miles around, every piece of glass shattered, and the ground trembled violently as the two titans clashed.

Capítulo 158: 158: The Beaten-Down Doflamingo

Under the relentless gusts of wind caused by the shockwaves, Rebecca had to cling tightly to Kyros's arm to avoid being blown away.

The sea of flowers in the Flower Field was completely scattered, petals dancing chaotically in the air. Some plants were even uprooted, swept away by the powerful winds.

Just as the shockwave and wind seemed to subside, another thunderous crash echoed from below, shaking the earth and the hill they were perched on.

Whoosh!

Another violent gust of wind roared through the area.

Rebecca, now lying flat on the ground, clung to Kyros's arm with her eyes shut tight. She couldn't help but cry out, "What on earth is happening?!"

"It seems like…" Kyros, also lying low, peered down toward the base of the Flower Field. His voice carried a hint of shock. "…Doflamingo is fighting someone."

"F-fighting?!" Rebecca stammered, her heart pounding as she tried to comprehend the scene unfolding below.

Before she could process what was happening, a calm, youthful voice came from her side.

"This place isn't bad. It offers quite the view of the battle below," the voice said.

Startled, Rebecca and Kyros turned sharply toward the source of the voice.

Standing there was a black-haired youth with a black blade hanging at his waist. His mid-length hair danced wildly in the wind, but his closed eyes and calm demeanor made him seem unshaken by the chaos around him.

"When did you…" Kyros muttered, his voice laced with unease.

He hadn't noticed this young man's presence at all, which sent a chill down his spine.

From behind the black-haired youth, a striking woman with sea-blue hair and a sword in hand stepped forward. Draped in a black cloak, she spared Kyros and Rebecca a brief glance before shifting her gaze downward toward the battlefield.

Below them, a vast expanse of land had transformed into white threads, writhing like ocean waves. In the midst of the chaos, Zephyr and Doflamingo were locked in fierce combat.

"So this is the power of a Devil Fruit's… awakening?" Ain murmured.

Ron nodded. "Yes, awakening. When a Paramecia Devil Fruit user reaches the 'awakening' stage, their abilities begin to affect not just themselves but the environment around them as well."

"Then… do you think Zephyr-sensei will win?" Ain asked, her tone carrying a hint of concern.

"In my opinion, there's no need to worry," Ron replied, his voice calm and composed. "Doflamingo has only recently stepped into the awakening stage. The extent to which his abilities affect the surroundings is still limited. While his power has seen a significant boost, it's not enough to elevate him to the same level as Zephyr."

As he spoke, Ron used his Observation Haki to "see" the battle below. His tone remained indifferent, as though the outcome was already decided.

"Zephyr's physique may have aged over the years, and his stamina isn't what it once was, but his Haki and overall strength haven't diminished."

"Even without an arm, the Seastone crushing machine developed by the Marine Science Division is a true weapon against Devil Fruit users. Combined with Zephyr's power and Haki, it makes him deadlier than ever when fighting ability users."

"In contrast, Doflamingo wasn't even a match for Zephyr back in the day. The only reason he managed to take Zephyr's arm was due to a series of unfortunate circumstances—Zephyr was already injured, poisoned, enraged, and hindered by the constraints of protecting the young recruits."

"While Doflamingo has grown stronger since then, it's clear he still isn't capable of defeating Zephyr head-on."

Hearing this casual analysis from the blind, black-haired youth, both Kyros and Rebecca were left stunned.

"Zephyr… So it's the one called Zephyr fighting Doflamingo?!" Rebecca, now fourteen years old, couldn't help but ask the two strangers, her voice trembling with a mix of awe and fear.

Ain gave her a small nod of confirmation.

"Zephyr… I feel like I've heard that name before," Rebecca muttered, her voice trailing off as she tried to recall where she'd encountered the name of this legendary figure.

Kyros's expression turned contemplative as a thought flashed through his mind. His pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked at the two figures before him with disbelief.

"Could this Zephyr be that Marine Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr?!"

"Marine Admiral?!" Rebecca's jaw dropped, her face frozen in shock.

Ain nodded at Kyros. "Zephyr resigned from his position as Admiral years ago. It's more accurate to call him a former Marine Admiral now."

"Former… Marine Admiral…"

Kyros and Rebecca were both stunned by this revelation, their hearts pounding as a storm of thoughts raced through their minds.

Rebecca, regaining her composure, looked at the two strangers with wide, hopeful eyes. "Are you here with Admiral Zephyr? Did you come to defeat Doflamingo and the Donquixote family?!"

"Well… you could say that," Ain replied with a small nod.

Rebecca's eyes sparkled with excitement and hope.

"Then… the black slash that tore through the sky earlier… was that also from Admiral Zephyr?" Rebecca asked eagerly.

"No, it wasn't," Ain said, shaking her head. She then glanced toward Ron, unable to hide a faint smile.

Following Ain's gaze, Kyros and Rebecca turned their attention to the blind, black-haired youth standing silently nearby. His hair fluttered in the wind, and the black blade at his waist gleamed ominously.

Their hearts pounded with shock.

Could it be…?

At the base of the hill in the Flower Field.

"Haah!!"

Zephyr let out a thunderous roar as his massive Seastone crushing machine smashed through the defensive shield of white threads created by Doflamingo's awakened Devil Fruit abilities.

Using sheer force to shatter the flexible barrier, Zephyr's crushing machine slammed into Doflamingo's face with devastating power, leaving his features grotesquely contorted.

Boom!

Doflamingo's body shot through the air like a pink streak of light, crashing straight into the ground below.

Fortunately for him, the terrain had already been transformed into soft, wave-like white threads, absorbing much of the impact. Otherwise, that single blow would have completely incapacitated him.

"That punch," Zephyr growled, his voice filled with unbridled rage, "was for the students who died by your hands!"

Surrounded by a murderous aura, Zephyr activated Moonwalk. With a single step, he launched himself into the air, the force of his movement creating a deafening shockwave.

His massive figure shot toward the downed Doflamingo like a cannonball.

Doflamingo, blood streaming from his shattered nose and battered face, looked up at the approaching Zephyr. For the first time in years, fear flickered in his eyes.

Desperately, he thrust his hands into the white thread waves beneath him.

"Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart: Feather Strike String!"

In an instant, thousands of razor-sharp, Haki-infused threads shot upward in the shape of flamingo feathers, aiming to pierce and overwhelm the charging Zephyr.

"Get out of my way!"

Zephyr bellowed, his crushing machine glowing with the black sheen of Armament Haki. With a powerful swing, he unleashed a devastating shockwave, shattering the air around him.

The immense blast of compressed air tore through the threads, obliterating them as though they were nothing.

Boom!

The attack didn't stop there—it barreled straight into Doflamingo.

The overwhelming force crushed Doflamingo's body, slamming him deeper into the ground. His limbs trembled as the pressure pinned him in place, rendering him completely powerless.
