"Boom!!!"
A deafening explosion erupted at the point where the meteorite collided with the Planetary Devastation sphere!
Kronos, feeling the intensity of the blast for the first time, reacted instantly.
At the center of the explosion, a massive spatial barrier was rapidly constructed, blocking the devastating force and shockwave of the impact!
However, even with his intervention, Kronos couldn't completely contain the aftermath.
The residual shockwave burst out from the palace heights and spread wildly, destroying every building in the nearby residential area within a radius of over ten meters!
"Madara... didn't I tell you to be careful..."
Feeling the raging impact, Kronos—still seated in his chair—sighed in helpless frustration.
Hearing his captain's complaint, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but chuckle.
"Relax. I held back enough not to erase this entire island from the nautical charts."
To that, Kronos could only shake his head in resignation. Clearly, their definitions of "restraint" were different.
Kronos had hoped Dressrosa would survive relatively unscathed. But under Madara's "measured" response, it had been nearly wiped off the map.
As the shockwaves faded and the dust settled, the scene grew quiet.
The surviving Doflamingo Family officers who had managed to endure the blast were now slumped on the ground, defeated and hopeless.
They stared in despair at the ruined palace heights around them—utterly speechless.
And as for Pica, wielder of the Stone-Stone Fruit?
Under the impact of that colossal meteorite, not even bones remained.
The three strongest officers of the Doflamingo Family—
Diamanti, wielder of the Flag-Flag Fruit,
Trebol, wielder of the Sticky-Sticky Fruit,
and Pica, controller of stone through the Stone-Stone Fruit—
All dead.
As the dust cleared and the destruction lay bare, the remaining officers and grunts of the Donquixote Family were already drowning in despair.
Their leader, Doflamingo, was still trapped within Hashirama's Wood Dragon Technique, his condition unknown.
Their three elite officers—Diamanti, Trebol, and Pica—had perished at the hands of overwhelming power.
At that moment, Konan, the Six Paths of Pain, Artoria, and others approached the scattered remnants of Doflamingo's forces.
Konan, cold and efficient, immediately threw out a paper bomb, striking one officer and knocking him flat to the ground—lifeless.
After all, Kronos had given the order: no member of the Doflamingo Family was to be left alive.
Mercy was not an option.
Seeing their comrade fall so suddenly, the rest of the officers were shaken. The sheer cruelty of the enemy struck fear into their hearts.
And at that moment—faced with death—their survival instincts kicked in.
Panic-stricken, they all scattered and fled in different directions!
But it was futile.
Their strength was too far below that of their opponents.
In the face of Konan, Pain, Artoria, and Tatsumaki (Tornado), there was no escape.
Even if someone managed to run for a few seconds, they would be caught immediately afterward—and left bleeding on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining elite officers of the Doflamingo Family were all wiped out.
And just as the last one fell...
A sudden shift occurred in Dressrosa—one that shook the entire nation!
It was at this moment that Doflamingo, who had been bound tightly by Hashirama's Wood Dragon Technique, finally made a move.
With an explosion of Haki and an outpouring of threads, he tore a massive hole in the ground, forcibly breaking free from the dragon's wooden shackles!
Then, from a distant part of the battlefield, the ground erupted open—and from the chasm, Doflamingo shot upward, riding countless white threads!
The Heavenly Demon had returned!
