Inside the Palace: The Build-Up to the Final Clash
The throne room crackled with tension. Luffy, Law, and Rimuru stood before Doflamingo, the Shichibukai sitting on his golden throne, legs crossed and smiling as if everything were under control. His strings swayed ominously in the air, ready to strike.
“Straw Hat, Trafalgar, and whoever you are,” Doflamingo sneered, his grin widening, “you’re too late. The birdcage is closing, and the people of Dressrosa will soon be nothing but corpses. All this rebellion, for nothing.”
Luffy clenched his fists, the veins bulging on his arms. “You’re not gonna get away with this, flamingo guy!”
Rimuru’s calm gaze scanned the room, taking in the layout and every subtle movement of Doflamingo’s strings. “Luffy, don’t underestimate him. He’s a manipulator, in more ways than one. Stay focused.”
Law adjusted his grip on his sword, panting slightly from his earlier skirmishes. “Doflamingo’s power isn’t just strings. His control over people runs deeper. He’s orchestrated this entire nightmare for years.”
Doflamingo stood, his threads vibrating with lethal energy. “Enough talk. Let’s see how long you last.”
The air grew heavy as the battle began.

Elsewhere in Dressrosa
Kin’emon and the Samurai’s Struggle
Kin’emon and Kanjuro rushed through the chaotic streets of Dressrosa, searching desperately for Momonosuke, who had been separated during the commotion. Kin’emon’s sword flashed as he cut down a squad of Doflamingo’s soldiers blocking their path.
“Momonosuke-sama must be safe,” Kanjuro said, his voice strained. “We must hurry!”
Kin’emon nodded, his eyes blazing with determination. “We will find him. No matter what it takes! Ohh sorry he is with Sanji dono”
Their journey led them to the underground port, where they encountered a strange figure: Senor Pink, still recovering from his fight with Franky. Despite his injuries, he stood in their way, grinning defiantly.
“You’re not going any further, samurai,” Pink said.
Kin’emon raised his sword, stepping forward. “Then you leave me no choice.”

Rebecca and Kyros’ Fight to Save the King
Near the royal plateau, Rebecca and her father, Kyros, fought valiantly to protect King Riku from the remnants of Doflamingo’s army. The young warrior’s eyes burned with determination as she blocked attacks with her sword, her inexperience offset by her sheer willpower.
“Father, we can’t let them take the king!” Rebecca shouted, her hands trembling but firm.
Kyros, in his human form, struck down three attackers with a single swing of his sword. “Stay behind me, Rebecca! I’ll handle this!”
As the small Tontatta people joined the fight, their tiny forms darted around the battlefield, tripping up soldiers and sabotaging their weapons. Leo, the brave Tontatta warrior, shouted orders.
“Protect Princess Rebecca! Protect King Riku!”
The small yet courageous fighters inspired the Dressrosa citizens, who began to rise against their oppressors.

The Palace Battle: Round Two
Doflamingo’s strings lashed out like a storm, forcing Luffy, Law, and Rimuru to dodge and weave. The Shichibukai’s attacks were relentless, the room shattering under the force of his power.
“Overheat!” he roared, sending a blazing whip of string straight toward Luffy.
Luffy barely dodged, the heat singeing his clothes. “That’s nothing!” he yelled, launching a Jet Pistol in retaliation.
The punch connected, but Doflamingo only grinned. His body dissolved into threads, reforming behind Luffy. “You’ll have to do better than that, Straw Hat.”
Law tried to create an opening with Shambles, teleporting himself behind Doflamingo and slashing downward. But the warlord anticipated it, countering with a wall of threads.
“You’re predictable, Trafalgar,” Doflamingo said, his tone mocking.
Rimuru entered the fray, manipulating the gravity around Doflamingo to disrupt his movements. “Let’s see how you handle this.” The threads around Doflamingo bent and twisted under the pressure, giving Luffy a brief opening.
“Gear Second!” Luffy shouted, his speed doubling as he launched a barrage of punches.
For the first time, Doflamingo staggered, though he quickly recovered. “Impressive,” he admitted. “But I’m just getting started.”
He activated his Awakening, transforming the palace floor and walls into strings. The battlefield became a chaotic web of traps and weapons, forcing the trio to fight at their limits.

The People of Dressrosa Rise
Meanwhile, the citizens, led by King Riku and the Tontatta warriors, fought back against Doflamingo’s remaining forces. Rebecca stood alongside her father, her sword clashing with that of a seasoned soldier.
“You’re strong for someone so young,” the soldier sneered.
Rebecca didn’t falter. “I’m fighting for my family, for my people. That’s stronger than anything you’ve got!”
The tide began to turn as the citizens gained confidence, inspired by the bravery of Kyros, Rebecca, and the Tontatta people.

The Turning Point
Back in the palace, Luffy, Rimuru, and Law found themselves cornered. Doflamingo’s birdcage continued to shrink, cutting off any hope of escape.
“This is it,” Doflamingo said, his grin returning. “You’re all finished.”
But just as hope seemed lost, Kin’emon and Kanjuro burst into the room, having defeated Senor Pink.
“Straw Hat-dono!” Kin’emon called, raising his sword. “We’re here to assist you!”
Their arrival provided a much-needed distraction. Rimuru seized the moment, increasing the gravity around Doflamingo to its maximum.
“Luffy, now!” Rimuru shouted.
Luffy shifted to Gear Fourth, his body transforming as his haki-infused fists glowed with energy. “This time, I’m ending it!”
As Doflamingo struggled against the gravitational force, Luffy launched his most powerful attack yet: King Kong Gun.
The massive punch collided with Doflamingo, sending him crashing through the palace and into the streets below. The shockwave rippled across Dressrosa, silencing the battlefield.

Aftermath
Doflamingo lay unconscious, his birdcage dissolving into thin air. The people of Dressrosa erupted into cheers, their nightmare finally over.
Luffy collapsed, exhausted, but with a grin on his face. “We did it,” he muttered.
Rimuru helped him up, a faint smile on his lips. “One more victory for the crew. But something tells me our journey is just beginning.”
As the Straw Hats regrouped, they knew that while Doflamingo’s reign was over, their battle against the world was far from finished.
