Countless terrifying sword auras raged, cutting several gashes into the earth. Doflamingo and Vergo’s injuries grew more and more severe.

Especially Vergo—he’d taken several potentially fatal hits for Doflamingo, and now he was barely clinging to life.

“Doffy, send the signal,”

Vergo, blood streaming down his face, spoke to Doflamingo. Though only the two of them were here, the other Donquixote Family members had come along—they were just positioned elsewhere.

As long as he sent the signal, they would definitely come charging over.

Doflamingo didn’t respond. He knew perfectly well that even if he called for backup and the entire family showed up, it wouldn’t make a difference.

So what if they came? Could they handle Boa Hancock? And even if they somehow managed that, there was still Shin Uzumaki standing right there.

If Shin Uzumaki acted, the Donquixote Family would only be completely annihilated.

————

“You two have lasted longer than I expected. Time to finish this,” Hancock said with a smug smile, eyeing Doflamingo and Vergo.

Seeing that Shin had been sitting here for a long time, Hancock felt she should quickly finish them off—

Using the Six Powers Shave, she left a fragrant breeze in her place and instantly materialized behind Doflamingo and Vergo.

An intense sense of crisis enveloped the two of them. This was a mortal crisis. Doflamingo felt as if he was going to die here.

Just then, Vergo shoved Doflamingo hard, pushing him to safety. But he couldn’t get himself out of the way in time—Hancock’s blade found its mark.

In reality, even if Vergo hadn’t pushed Doflamingo aside, Hancock’s sword wouldn’t have been fatal. She’d taken Shin’s advice to heart and was planning to keep Doflamingo breathing.

But Vergo was a dead man either way. Whether he died now or later didn’t really matter.

And so Vergo fell—cut down by Hancock’s blade in one decisive strike.

————

“Doflamingo, are you still going to resist?” Hancock pointed her sword at Doflamingo.

“Fufufufufufu!”

Even in this situation, Doflamingo could still laugh. The guy was a real piece of work—cunning and dangerous. After all, anyone with the qualities of a king wasn’t someone you could take lightly. Doflamingo had awakened Conqueror’s Haki at a young age.

That early awakening of Conqueror’s Haki was exactly why Vergo and the others followed him so loyally—it marked him as someone truly special.

SLAP!

“QUIET DOWN, WILL YOU??”

Shin appeared in front of Doflamingo in an instant and backhanded him, sending him crashing to the ground.

Several teeth flew out, and Doflamingo spat a mouthful of blood onto the dirt.

“Don’t laugh so smugly. Do you understand your situation? You’re a prisoner now. And you still have the nerve to laugh?” Shin said with a cold sneer.

“Or maybe you think I won’t kill you? Sure, you’re worth something to me—but it doesn’t matter if you die, right?”

Shin looked down at Doflamingo.

His gaze was as calm as water, but it gave Doflamingo an extremely dangerous feeling, making him feel as if he was about to be killed.

————

“What do you want?”

Doflamingo lowered his stance. He could bend when necessary. Facing the unbeatable Shin Uzumaki, he could only humble himself.

“As far as I know, your Donquixote Family’s money-making ability is impressive. In the future, hand over half of your revenue to me.”

Shin made his demand for half of Doflamingo’s profits, causing Doflamingo’s veins to bulge with suppressed rage.

“What, you don’t like that idea? That’s fine by me. We’ll just see how much pain you can handle.”

Shin looked at Doflamingo with cold detachment, as if he’d execute him on the spot if he dared to refuse. Actually, Shin had solid reasons for demanding the money. Even though the Kuja Pirates were one of the Four Emperors, their income wasn’t exactly impressive.

“I agree.”

Doflamingo forced a smile onto his face. Even if he wanted to murder Shin, he had to bury that rage deep inside and keep it hidden.

“Then get lost.” Shin flicked his hand dismissively, shooing Doflamingo away.

Doflamingo didn’t need to be told twice—he bolted, moving as fast as he could, terrified that Shin might suddenly change his mind.

————

“Shin, I don’t think letting him go was a smart move. Doflamingo’s ambition is enormous—he’s not going to just accept this and walk away.”

Hancock said to Shin after Doflamingo left.

Of course, Hancock was just voicing her opinion. It still depended on what Shin planned to do. Just like before, when Shin said to let Doflamingo go, Hancock hadn’t argued.

“I know his ambition is enormous. But precisely because his ambition is great, our profits will be higher.”

Shin said to Hancock with a knowing smile.

“But what if he tries to rebel?” Hancock was worried that Doflamingo would rebel.

“He doesn’t have the guts. Even if he really does have the courage to rebel, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just crush him.”

Shin said calmly.

With his level of power, Shin wasn’t worried about Doflamingo turning against him. Even if he did try something—he could just kill him and take all his money anyway.

“You’re right.” Hancock felt there was nothing to worry about.

“Let’s go back.” Shin took Hancock and returned to his ship.

————

“How did it go?” Olvia asked Shin curiously.

“Doflamingo is gone. But in the future, we can get fifty percent of the Donquixote Family’s profits.”

Shin said with a smile.

If it were just Shin on his own, he wouldn’t worry about profits. But he had Amazon Lily to think about—a whole kingdom of women counting on him and the Kuja Pirates to bring home the money they needed to survive.

So of course, he had to focus on making money. And Doflamingo had serious talent for it—that’s what caught Shin’s attention.

This was both Doflamingo’s curse and his blessing. Sure, he was now under Shin’s thumb—but it was also an opportunity.

In the future, as long as he didn’t go too far, Shin wouldn’t mind if Doflamingo used his name for business deals. Who wouldn’t show Doflamingo respect then?

With that kind of backing, his growth potential could actually exceed what he achieved in the original story.

With Doflamingo’s sharp mind, there was no way he’d miss an opportunity like this. The catch was that he couldn’t push his luck too far—if he overstepped, Shin would simply eliminate him.

“Where are we going next? Back to the New World? I heard it’s complete chaos over there right now,” Olvia said to Shin.

Olvia was holding a newspaper she’d gotten from a News Coo, filled with reports about major events happening in the New World.
