[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 253

Character name suggestions: Luo, Doflamingo, Vergo, Orochimaru, Trafalgar D. Water Law

In this critical moment, Luo’s keen senses instantly detected the imminent danger.

His pupils abruptly contracted, his teeth clenched, and his entire body’s muscles instantly tensed, as if every fiber was infused with power at that moment.

Immediately after, he flipped over violently and rolled to the side.

Doflamingo’s kick, imbued with powerful force, grazed Luo’s clothes and landed, making a “bang” sound. The bricks on the ground instantly shattered into pieces, and debris flew everywhere.

Luo awkwardly rolled to the side and barely got up. Still in shock, he looked at the shattered bricks and the spot where Doflamingo’s foot had landed, stirring up some dust. Cold sweat uncontrollably streamed down his forehead and back, soaking his clothes.

Looking at the spot where Doflamingo had stepped, he felt a chill down his crotch, almost losing his “eggs,” and subconsciously clamped his legs together, his face filled with lingering fear.

His heart pounded wildly in his chest, as if it wanted to burst out of his throat.

“Doflamingo, you’re really ruthless!”

Luo suppressed the terror in his heart and roared at Doflamingo, his voice carrying a hint of imperceptible trembling.

Doflamingo, however, merely curved his lips slightly, revealing his signature sinister smile, his narrow eyes full of mockery.

“This is punishment, Luo… you violated the family rules and need to be disciplined… Since Vergo can’t discipline you, I’ll have to do it myself.”

With that, he slowly raised his foot again. His leather shoe gleamed with a cold light in the sun, as if it would launch a fatal attack on Luo in the next second.

Luo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His hands secretly gathered the power of ROOM, fully concentrating and preparing to face the upcoming offensive.

Doflamingo stopped not far from Luo, his face still bearing that half-smile. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze playful, and said softly,

“Luo, I really can’t bear to just get rid of you like this. If you behave well and admit your mistake,

Perhaps I can still show you some mercy. How about it, come back, Luo… I’ll forgive you if you accept the punishment.”

Upon hearing this, Luo frowned deeply, his face filled with disgust. “Doflamingo, stop spouting nonsense!” With that, he swung his sword and attacked Doflamingo again.

Doflamingo, unhurried, raised his hand and used his String-String Fruit ability to generate several tough strings. Like nimble snakes, they wrapped around Luo’s sword, easily blocking the attack, yet his mouth wasn’t idle.

“Tsk tsk, so heartless, huh? But how can you deny this ‘special attention’ I have for you? The more you struggle, the more I want to keep you by my side and ‘cherish’ you.”

Luo snorted, activating his ROOM ability, attempting to envelop Doflamingo within his ability space, preparing to unleash “Gamma Knife” to severely wound him.

Doflamingo quickly constructed a defense with his strings, while also flashing his body, continuing to approach Luo.

His mouth still uttered those ambiguous and infuriating words, as Doflamingo truly had a nasty mouth.

The two went back and forth, the battle growing more intense, every move fatal.

Luo was once again trampled underfoot. Luo gasped, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking at Doflamingo before him, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

He understood that he was now at a disadvantage in the power confrontation, and if this continued, he would likely die here.

However, thankfully, he had prepared early. Since physical attacks wouldn’t work, he would resort to mental attacks.

He endured the severe pain in his body, but a faint, imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, when he had struggled free from under the person’s foot earlier, he had immediately dialed the Den Den Mushi.

Thanks to Straw Hat-ya’s treasured Den Den Mushi.

Luo lay sprawled on the ground, his right hand holding a white Den Den Mushi with a straw hat, which seemed particularly out of place in the tense atmosphere.

Doflamingo frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on his face, but he increased the pressure under his foot, saying coldly, “Luo, at this point, what tricks are you still trying to pull?”

Luo struggled to raise his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gave Doflamingo a defiant smile.

“Doflamingo, do you think you’ve already won?

Oh, by the way, aren’t you ‘missing’ Orochimaru-ya a lot? I’ll ‘invite’ him over for you right now.”

Then he looked at Doflamingo with a hint of anticipation and a bit of schadenfreude.

“Right, Orochimaru-ya, did you hear what Doflamingo just said to me… This isn’t a loyal man.”

Doflamingo listened to Luo’s incomprehensible words, a strange unease rising in his heart. Just as he was about to question further,

A familiar and headache-inducing voice suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi in Luo’s hand. Orochimaru’s voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

“Oh… I’m busy. Hanging up.”

Doflamingo’s face instantly turned ugly, realizing that the situation seemed to have slipped out of his control.

And Luo, taking advantage of his distraction, struggled to break free from under his foot, preparing for a final counterattack. Even if defeat was inevitable, he would never give up resistance easily.

Doflamingo’s face was so grim it could drip water. He never expected Luo to drag Orochimaru into this. Was he sick? Who complains in the middle of a fight? He didn’t remember teaching Luo that.

He didn’t know how difficult that ancestor was to appease.

Doflamingo’s previously certain victory had been shaken by this sudden turn of events.

And Orochimaru’s indifferent and nonchalant response was like a slap in the face, making him both annoyed and angry. Couldn’t that ancestor avoid being petty at a time like this?

“Luo, you bastard, you only pull useless little tricks!” Doflamingo roared, his mind already somewhat chaotic by the abruptly hung-up Den Den Mushi.

Doflamingo’s eyes turned cold, and the half-smile on his face instantly became incredibly ruthless.

He unhesitatingly stepped on Luo’s wrist and activated his Five-Color String ability. The multicolored threads, like five deadly venomous snakes, wrapped in a fierce gale, directly whipped towards Trafalgar D. Water Law’s arm holding the Den Den Mushi.

Luo had no time to react further. With a “hiss,” the Five-Color Strings instantly embedded into his arm, followed by a surge of intense pain. Before he could cry out, his arm instantly separated from his body, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing onto the ground, forming a dazzling crimson pool.

Luo’s face instantly turned ashen, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. But he gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain that threatened to engulf him entirely. Seizing this rare opportunity, he exerted every last ounce of his strength and violently struggled, finally breaking free from Doflamingo’s foot.

Clutching his wound with his remaining hand, he staggered back a few steps. After steadying himself, he gasped for breath, gripping his sword again.

“Doflamingo, even if I lose today, I will definitely make you shed a layer of skin!”

Luo gritted his teeth and shouted, then swung his sword and charged at Doflamingo again. The blade, imbued with his remaining Haki, whistled as it slashed towards his opponent.
