One piece : A Lotus

The Donquixote Family lined up in a row, with Doflamingo at the forefront, standing opposite Vila, while Kuro was positioned between the two groups.

"If you plan to do this yourself, why trouble me?" Kuro asked.

Doffy remained silent. Gladius, with his long spiky hair, dashed forward instantly.

Boom!

Kuro immediately lost all combat composure, flipped over, crashed into several tombstones, and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

"For a piece of trash like you, it's better not to interfere in a conversation between two Kings if you want to stay alive! The Donquixote Family will not cooperate with such garbage," Gladius said coldly.

Kuro couldn't stop vomiting blood, and his glasses were already broken, but his expression was calmer than ever... Who is this guy?

"The Donquixote Family?" Merry's pupils narrowed. "You're the Donquixote Family from the Grand Line, Dressrosa?! The crew of one of the Shichibukai, Doflamingo, the 'Heavenly Demon'?!"

Initially calm, Nami, who knew Will was strong, now also panicked a little, Shichibukai?!

No matter how ignorant she was, she knew the significance of that term.

These were strong pirates, famous throughout the Grand Line and beyond. They were recognized and supported by the Marines and the World Government. They are real monsters. Why did such a man come for her boss?

"What kind of fate is this?! Is it possible that right after gaining freedom, I'm about to die? Is it not too late to run away? I still need to spend 80 million Berries!"

"Doflamingo," Ezekiel smiled, "what did the World Government promise you?"

Doflamingo laughed, the tips of his fingers danced with visible white lines, which finally turned into blades.

"His Majesty the King of Alabasta, Ezekiel Nefertari, one of the last twenty Kings who rejected the Celestial Dragons."

King of Alabasta!

Celestial Dragons!

Descendant of the twenty Kings!

These words were too shocking for those present, even members of the Donquixote Family. No wonder such a person came personally for a grand battle... It turns out this guy is truly worthy of such a fight!

"You, you, are really the King of Alabasta?!!" Nami exclaimed, her expression changing rather quickly.

So, this guy wasn't lying to her?!

He's really a King?!

A King who rules a super-kingdom with a population of 220 million people, a King with an army of almost a million!

Who would have thought he'd come to East Blue... to buy tangerines?!!

Celestial Dragons!

Kuro's hands trembled, and he was planning to kill a descendant of the twenty Kings all by himself?! In any case, this descendant is someone who had the right to hold the title of Celestial Dragon.

More than 170 countries have joined the World Government, but there is only one such King with such a strong personality.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, a man with a similar fate!" Doflamingo smirked, and cutting threads suddenly shot out from his hands.

Doflamingo lost the title of Celestial Dragon because his father gave it up, and Ezekiel lost the status of Celestial Dragon because his ancestors gave it up. Their destinies were indeed similar.

And each of them was a unique individual. Could they really witness the fall of such a noble person, here and now?

At the moment when the thread blades were about to touch Ezekiel , he was already covered with Armament Haki.

Doffy was shocked, and his laughter ceased. He never imagined that this King, who seemed to possess no power, was also a master!

"I never needed such a status. Moreover, someday I will destroy this world structure and the power that should not exist! Then I will build a new world," Ezekiel looked at the entire Donquixote Family. Finally, he decided to no longer hide this!

Since sooner or later it would be impossible to conceal, why bother with these unnecessary complexities?

Ezekiel raised a finger, which lit up with a laser beam that pierced through Gladius in an instant.

Boom! A powerful explosion roared.

The Donquixote Family and Doflamingo himself were shocked. What kind of abilities is he using?

What is this?!

Kizaru's Fruit?! Is he dead?!

The smile vanished completely from Doffy's face, and his expression gradually became one of utter terror. This guy not only has a Devil Fruit power but also a Light Fruit, similar to Kizaru, and he's incredibly strong. The idiots from the World Government aren't even aware of this?!

Is Kizaru really dead?

What the hell is happening?

These dramatic, unexpected shifts in the balance of power shocked everyone present.

"Do you think... you can handle me?" Ezekiel was already angry. Since he came into this world, he had hidden his powers, kept a low profile, and despite being condemned by the World Government many times, he tried his best to hide his identity. But now, enough is enough! Since it's too hard to bear and there's no real need for it, from now on, Ezekiel wants to reveal his identity and appear openly in this world!

He will step forward!

The whole world and the World Government will come to know about him!

Boom! A terrifying wave of light burst forth and this time, it pierced through Diamante.

Diamante's injuries shocked everyone.

This guy resembled a true Admiral!

"Enough!" Doffy was furious, irritated by Will constantly injuring his family members.

A terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted, suppressing everyone around. Ordinary people on the entire island instantly lost consciousness. It was as dreadful as the end of the world, like flashes of black lightning causing catastrophic weather changes. Seeing this, Nami was left speechless.

What is this power capable of changing the world?!

Ezekiel also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without hesitation. Compared to Doflamingo's black lightning, his Haki was like a golden sun, and they clashed with one another.

Boom! The terrifying explosion weakened layer by layer, like ripples in the air.

A collision of Conqueror's Haki!

Diamante stared in shock at the scene before him; this was the level of The King, one in a million people. These two were undoubtedly unique Kings!
