Chương 20: Chapter 20
As the devastating power descended from the sky, the atmosphere turned mournful, and the light dimmed as if the world was nearing its end.
"Oops!!"
A chilling sensation swept through their bodies, and even Blackbeard felt a shiver.
Reacting swiftly, Shiryu swung his two swords, sending forth several purple crescent-shaped slashes that surged towards the sky. He attempted to slice through the black energy, but unfortunately, he was crushed in just one encounter.
Not one to be outdone, Blackbeard unleashed a colossal dark energy ball. This was his ultimate attack, the same one that had crushed Ace, the Fire Fist.
With his enormous hand guiding it, the black ball slowly ascended.
Both Blackbeard and Shiryu stared wide-eyed, their gazes filled with anticipation.
But...
Pooh! ! !
The black dragon's roar sliced through the air like an unsheathed peerless sword, crushing and tearing apart the black ball, creating a gaping hole in its core.
Immediately after, it unleashed its world-destroying power upon the earth.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
As the shockwaves reverberated, Dressrosa trembled violently, and countless buildings crumbled to the ground.
The earth shattered like a spider's web, spreading out several kilometers in every direction.
Boom! !
Palaces collapsed before Doflamingo's eyes, and he opened his mouth but found himself unable to say a word.
If it were anyone else, Doflamingo would have eagerly taunted them, but this world-destroying black dragon was his big daddy—an entity that couldn't be provoked.
In the core area of the battle, a towering mushroom cloud of flames rose into the sky, incinerating everything within a radius of 500 meters.
Blackbeard and Shiryu lay on the ground, severely burned and unconscious.
"Hmph, fools who don't know their place."
The black dragon cast a disdainful glance at the two figures on the ground. Spreading its massive dark wings, it took flight and disappeared into the distance.
Doflamingo, being astute, knew what he needed to do next.
—————
Naval Headquarters.
Haw!
Sengoku hung up the phone with a weary expression, looking utterly drained. Ever since the black dragon attacked Impel Down and released Ace and a majority of the prisoners, he had been feeling downcast and disillusioned. Life seemed devoid of joy.
Just moments ago, the Five Elders had scolded him again during their phone call.
Sengoku lay back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, offering condolences to the black dragon's ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.
Blue! Blue! Blue!
The bug phone on his desk buzzed, causing Sengoku to let out a sigh before picking it up. "This is Sengoku, what is it?"
"Marshal Sengoku, the black dragon has appeared in Dressrosa."
With Dressrosa making such a commotion, it was only a matter of time before the Marines received a report.
"That damned Doflamingo, colluding with the black dragon in secret? He truly believes that his status as a Warlord of the Sea grants him immunity from death!"
A moment later, Sengoku growled, his voice rising to an unbelievably high pitch.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Vice Admiral Crane, the chief staff officer, arrived. After hearing the news, she too was filled with anger.
"Doflamingo has crossed the line; he is inviting death upon himself!"
Sengoku glared at Vice Admiral Crane, hostility burning in his eyes, and asked, "Which Marine Admiral is closest to Dressrosa?"
Vice Admiral Crane tilted her head and examined the map. "Dressrosa is located in the New World, so it would be the G0 base. We should dispatch Xilan."
"But Sengoku, have you considered the consequences?" Vice Admiral Crane hesitated for a moment, speaking with a hint of fear. "Doflamingo's status is sensitive, and touching him would create a lot of trouble."
"I suggest you contact the Five Elders first and report this to them."
"I am the Marine Marshal!" Sengoku snorted unhappily, but he realized that Vice Admiral Crane was right. Reluctantly, he obediently reached out to the Five Elders, dialing their number.
Dealing with Doflamingo was a delicate matter, especially considering his former status as a Celestial Dragon. It was rumored that they held a significant secret that even the high-ranking officials of the World Government feared.
If they acted rashly, Doflamingo might resort to desperate measures.

On the blue sea, a warship slowly sailed forward.
On the deck, Admiral Xilan held up a sun umbrella, reclining leisurely on a couch by himself.
Meanwhile, he also called his mistress, Boa Hancock, who was currently getting ready.
"I heard that Luffy was bought by the Celestial Dragons," Boa Hancock said calmly.
"What, does it hurt?" Xilan playfully slapped her plump buttocks, causing Boa Hancock to wince in pain.
"Remember, you are my secret lover, and I forbid you to have contact with others," Xilan warned. "Otherwise, you won't have anything to eat. You know how I am."
"You old playboy, to you, I'm just a toy. You have women like me all over the world," Boa Hancock replied.
"I'm tired of this kind of life. I want to find an honest and dependable man to marry. Is that wrong?" Boa Hancock asked.
Xilan gave Boa Hancock a deep look, a half-smile forming on his face.
Finally, he understood that she didn't actually like Luffy; she had merely used Luffy as a pick-up man.
After all, they had been together for many years, and their relationship had been filled with lavish indulgences. What man wouldn't mind?
Of course, there might be some who were attracted to Boa Hancock's beauty and didn't mind such arrangements, but they were merely obsessed with her body.
Boa Hancock was certain that Luffy wouldn't mind, given his naive and straightforward nature.

I'll be honest, I don't seem to be receiving that much support in the Power Stones aspect; all the people voting are mostly Discord friends at this point, and it's so disheartening to see... So yeah, hopefully this one gets alive faster, I've seen so many worse works get 10 times the attention this has received. I'm still gonna post though, no worries, just be more alive, I can cout on my fingers how many actually commented that I don't know.
