Chapter 352: The Collapsing Family!

"Young Master!!!"

Accompanied by that deafening roar, Doflamingo was smashed deep into the underground ruins.

Seeing the Young Master, whom they had always revered as a god, being publicly defeated...

The Donquixote Family officers scattered across various battlefields felt their pupils dilate in shock.

Extremely stunned and despairing expressions appeared on their faces; their originally arrogant aura vanished in an instant.

To these pirates, Doflamingo was not just a leader, but the pillar of their arrogant faith.

Now that the pillar had collapsed, their once indestructible fighting will suffered a fatal blow at this moment.

"Looking away during a fight can cost you your life!"

A cold snort, filled with killing intent, abruptly rang out across the battlefield.

Zoro moved like a ghost through the rubble, precisely seizing the moment the enemy lost focus.

He gripped his hilts with both hands, the Wado Ichimonji clenched between his teeth, his muscles bulging to their limit.

The three famous blades erupted with sharp black light in the air, their crisscrossing sword qi weaving a web of death.

"Three Thousand Worlds!"

The violent slash cut through the sky, slicing through the dazed family officers like dry wood, sending them flying as blood sprayed in a grim arc.

On another battlefield filled with ruins, the atmosphere was uniquely tragic and heroic.

Franky's massive steel body was already battered, and Senior Pink, standing opposite him, was also gasping for breath, covered in wounds.

Neither of them dodged; neither of them defended.

Instead, they roared simultaneously, throwing a final punch loaded with a man's unyielding will.

The dull sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed through the ruins.

Under this heavy blow, Senior's consciousness finally faded.

His tall body fell powerlessly backward, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His iconic sunglasses shattered upon impact, revealing the eyes hidden behind them.

Franky gasped for breath, dragging his heavy steps to his side.

He silently crouched down and used his rough mechanical palm to gently wipe the blood from the face of this respectable hard-boiled man.

In a man's way, he had won this fist-to-flesh, true man's duel.

Meanwhile, on every battlefield, the horn for the counterattack had fully sounded.

Sanji leapt lightly into the air, his right leg burning with scorching flames, as a "Diable Jambe" like a falling meteor slammed into the enemy's vital points.

Bartolomeo crossed his arms, and his incredibly sturdy barrier acted like a battering ram, knocking away all enemies in his path.

Around them, the fearless Tontatta Tribe warriors and the rage-filled gladiators formed a tacit coordination for the encirclement.

In a very short time, facing this unstoppable crusade army...

High-ranking officers like Gladius, whose mind had already collapsed, and Dellinger, who possessed Fighting Fish blood, were defeated one by one, falling into pools of blood.

Thus, the Donquixote Family officers who had occupied the palace and once struck terror into the hearts of countless Dressrosa citizens were completely wiped out.

This dark family that had ruled the island for ten years finally met its end.

In the sky, the smoke gradually dissipated.

Luffy, like a leaf that had lost gravity, closed his eyes and laughed as he plummeted toward the broken earth below.

Tatsuya quietly watched the falling youth.

He slightly raised his right hand, and a gentle gravitational force quietly spread out, accurately catching Luffy in mid-air and steadily bringing him back to his companions.

"Luffy!"

Seeing this, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and the others put away their weapons and quickly gathered around.

Chopper rushed forward on his short legs, anxiously checking Luffy's vital signs.

However, when Chopper finished his examination and everyone held their breath for the result...

The little reindeer doctor let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with some helplessness.

Everyone looked down to see that this Captain, who had just saved the entire country single-handedly, was indeed severely exhausted.

But at this moment, he was sprawled out with his chest rising and falling rhythmically, even letting out slight snores.

Seeing their Captain in a state where he could sleep even if the sky fell, the Straw Hat crew's hearts finally landed safely.

They looked at each other and then erupted into a fit of hearty laughter amidst the scarred ruins.

At the highest point of the nearby ruins, Law stood quietly.

The sea breeze blew against his spotted hat, bringing a touch of coolness after the war's end.

His gaze pierced through the smoke, looking straight into the huge crater that had been smashed open.

Seeing the unconscious Doflamingo at the bottom of the pit...

Law slowly raised his dust-covered hand and, through his torn clothing, gently touched the heart tattoo on his chest that symbolized "Corazon."

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall that cold winter thirteen years ago.

That big guy who was always clumsy and would set his own feathers on fire while smoking.

The gentle man who, in order to cover his escape, hid him in a treasure chest and died smiling in the cold snow.

Thirteen years of endurance, pain, and frantic planning—countless nights waking up from nightmares—had finally come to an end at this moment.

Two lines of hot tears finally broke through Law's long-standing cold disguise.

They eventually slid uncontrollably down his cheeks and dripped onto the soil of Dressrosa.

"Cora-san... I finally did it..."

He murmured in a low voice, his tone filled with endless relief and sorrow.

Tatsuya walked to Law's side with unhurried steps.

"This long revenge is over, Trafalgar."

"The shackles on you have been cut; from today on, you are truly free."

Law bit his lip tightly and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He turned his head and took a deep look at Luffy, who was sleeping soundly surrounded by his companions nearby.

On that face that was always cold and serious, a smile of relief finally bloomed.

"Yeah, Crimson Lotus Captain. You're right."

Law's voice carried an unprecedented lightness.

"Straw Hat Captain... he is someone who brings strength to those around him."

On the other side of the battlefield, the cleanup work was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Under the command of Fujitora's adjutant, the Marine soldiers acted swiftly.

Holding heavy and sturdy Sea Stone handcuffs and chains, they firmly locked up Doflamingo in the pit and the family officers scattered everywhere, giving them no chance to escape.

With the crisp sound of clashing chains, this ten-year dark rule was officially declared over.

In the wide plaza below the palace, countless reborn citizens gathered together.

Surrounded by the people and their tears of joy...

King Riku, who had been framed by Doflamingo's vicious schemes and bore ten years of baseless infamy...

Supported by Kyros, he walked with faltering steps back onto the high platform of the plaza.

Sunlight fell on the old king's aged but resolute face.

The people knelt below the platform, tearfully imploring this merciful old king to wear the crown.

To lead this reborn country once again and take them out of the shadows of the past.

At this moment filled with emotion and hope, a heavy sound of footsteps came from the edge of the plaza.

Fujitora looked solemn as he led all the Marine officers and soldiers stationed in Dressrosa, walking with solemn steps slowly toward King Riku and the entire populace.

The atmosphere in the plaza suddenly became tense.

The citizens did not know what these Marines, representing the World Government, intended to do.

However, under the astonished gaze of the entire island's people, Fujitora's next move made everyone gasp.

The tall, blind Admiral stopped his steps; with a solemn expression, he suddenly gripped his shikomizue and thrust it straight into the hard stone ground.

Then, without hesitation, he lifted the wide cloak on his back that symbolized justice and led the hundreds of fully armed Marine soldiers behind him to kneel on both knees in unison!

The dull sound of knees hitting the ground echoed in the empty plaza, like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart.

Fujitora bent down and heavily kowtowed on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold stone slab.

His weathered face was full of guilt and self-reproach:

"On behalf of the World Government... I hereby offer the deepest apologies to all the citizens of Dressrosa!

"You have suffered!"

After a brief moment of dead silence, an uncontrollable burst of crying erupted in the plaza.

The grievances suppressed for ten years found an outlet in this long-overdue official apology.

And this scene, through the secretly placed visual Den Den Mushis, instantly crossed the barriers of the sea and shocked the entire world!

The scene shifted to hidden corners all over the world.

In those underground trading floors filled with darkness and calculation, countless brokers who had spent years in the Underworld were now staring at the broadcast screen with cold sweat.

Seeing the once-powerful underground king 'Joker' fall like a dead dog on the screen, they fell into an extremely terrified panic.

"It's over! It's all over!"

A broker held his head and screamed in terror.

"The supply chain for Artificial Devil Fruits and illegal weapons has been completely cut off!"

"Those big shots waiting for delivery will kill us!"

Doflamingo's fall was like pulling out the most important cornerstone of the Underworld; countless dark forces dependent on it would surely face a devastating blow from the coming reshuffle.

On the other end of the Grand Line, inside the towering headquarters of the World Economic Journal.

Morgans, the president of the news agency, was sitting among a pile of photos that had just been sent in urgently.

He looked at the close-up of Fujitora leading all the soldiers in kneeling and the close-up of Luffy cheering with both hands under the sun; he was so excited that his feathers stood on end.

He gripped the photos with both hands, trembling with excitement, his eyes flashing with a fanatical light for a big story.

"The Marines kneeling! Straw Hat Boy defeats a Shichibukai!"

"Big news!"

"This is definitely a headline that can turn the world upside down!"

Morgans let out a deafening, wild laugh:

"A new era!"

"I see a turbulent new era!"

"Quick! Print these photos on tomorrow's front-page headlines and send them to every corner of the world!"
