Chapter 138 - Chapter 137 I am Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage

In the center, Doflamingo's cocoon, which he used to block attacks, was wrapped in Armament Haki to defend, but Haki is not absolute. The moment the Flame Slash hit, the thick cocoon immediately shrunk significantly.

Then, after the power of the Flame Slash exploded, the cocoon rapidly shrunk at a visible speed until the flames were stopped by the threads Doflamingo himself released. However, the slashes contained within the Flame Slash, ten of them hitting almost simultaneously, caused Doflamingo to suffer internal injuries from the attacks coming from all directions.

At the same time, the high temperature of the flames could not be completely avoided by Armament Haki.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Doflamingo, furious, controlled his threads to attack Uchiha Shisui.

But Shisui did not continue to resist head-on; he instantly Shunshined away.

That last attack was the strongest he could unleash without using Susanoo, consuming a large amount of stamina and Sage Mode Chakra. The Sage Mode he had just entered had less than a layer of Sage Mode Chakra left, and if he continued to release Sage Mode Ninjutsu, he would not be able to maintain it.

Instantly releasing ten powerful attacks, almost simultaneously, required extreme speed and control.

However, his body was different now; after a short rest, he would recover. The help brought by the first hokage cells was comprehensive.

Shisui felt his strength growing every day, and he believed that in just half a year, he alone would be able to defeat this guy!

"What kind of power is the Uchiha after all?!"

Doflamingo couldn't help but doubt himself at this moment. Had Uchiha Tamahiko truly not deceived him when he invited him to be his second-in-command?

His own strength seemed insufficient to deter these guys.

At this moment, his favorite cloak, like a flamingo's feathers, was directly burned off.

From his waist to his chest, his skin had severe burns.

But before he could recover, he saw that the few people from before had completely changed their appearance.

They were Kakuzu in his Earth Grudge Fear mode, Kisame in his Samehada mode, Sasori with his Hundred Puppets Performance, and Biwa Jūzō, who had been slacking off.

At the same time, Konan had already buried explosive tags within these threads.

Behind Nagato were four Adamantine Sealing Chains, inserted into the ground, already starting to dig towards Doflamingo's location, preparing for a surprise attack.

'I came to see Uchiha Tamahiko.'

Doflamingo surrendered!

He felt that if they continued to fight, the Donflamingo pirates would truly be finished.

He said he was going to call for people, and he really did call for people!

He felt that these people, plus himself, would definitely not be inferior to the Four Emperors' setup.

Could Uchiha Tamahiko really want to become a Four Emperor?

But if he offended the World Government and was besieged by the Marine, could he truly survive?

"This guy is scared!"

Biwa Jūzō stepped forward at this moment, saying with a slightly mocking tone.

Doflamingo really wanted to ask, 'Who are you? Were you even involved in fighting me just now?'

"This guy has a high bounty; it can be exchanged for a lot of money."

Kakuzu, on the other hand, was somewhat displeased.

Because with the abolition of the Shichibukai, the bounties of these Shichibukai had all increased significantly. Doflamingo's bounty was now 1.2 billion Berries.

That was money!

"He'd make a good experimental subject!"

Orochimaru extended his tongue and moved it around in his mouth, like a pervert eyeing his target.

Doflamingo's strength was very high, so he wanted to dissect him even more. Moreover, he wanted to try using the Impure World Reincarnation to occupy a powerful body in this world, so Doflamingo caught his eye.

"A puppet would also be good."

Sasori said calmly.

"I want to tear apart such a strong person with my own hands."

Kisame said with a smile.

Doflamingo's face twitched. These people were really treating him like a dish!

He was furious and wanted to act, but he had no helpers. He truly didn't have much confidence fighting so many people.

Most importantly, the few people standing not far away put a lot of pressure on him. This was where he felt danger when he got off the ship, referring to the First Hokage and the others.

There were still people who hadn't made a move, but his current combat power was almost less than 80%. Although he still had ultimate moves he hadn't used, he felt he could at most take out a few, but he would surely die, which was meaningless.

"Give up resistance, put on Sea Stone handcuffs, and wait for the leader to decide."

Nagato looked at Doflamingo, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

This guy was not an envoy from another power; he had started fighting like this. It was reasonable to demand that he lose his combat ability.

"I'll leave now and talk when Uchiha Tamahiko returns."

Doflamingo, of course, would not willingly be handcuffed with Sea Stone. He would not trust anyone.

Nagato thought for a moment, preparing to speak.

But the sound of battle came from afar, and everyone's attention was drawn. A Marine warship about five kilometers away had been shattered.

"It's Katakuri!"

Doflamingo saw the ability that destroyed the warship and immediately recognized Katakuri.

Then he directly used threads to wrap around the clouds in the sky. He was going to run. If the Marine returned, he could still find people to rescue his subordinates.

If Uchiha Tamahiko returned, he could also talk to him.

So he chose to flee the battlefield; this was the most suitable choice.

Seeing Doflamingo run, Nagato stopped the others from pursuing and instead focused his attention on Katakuri.

"This guy is very strong and can briefly predict the future, making it easy to find weaknesses. Don't be careless."

"We are responsible for protecting Dressrosa from being destroyed; other matters will be handled by others."

Nagato's Sharingan saw clearly and also recognized Katakuri.

Uchiha Tamahiko's Shadow Clone had informed them about this person, telling them to be careful and not to engage if they encountered him, just to stay safe.

After all, Katakuri's Observation Haki was quite restrictive to the Ninja's actions. Ninja mostly rely on surprise attacks. If Nagato still had the Rinnegan, he could definitely fight with the Akatsuki Organization.

But now, his strength was at most at the peak of Kage-level, still some distance from Super Kage-level. He couldn't withstand Katakuri's frontal pressure, and the Akatsuki Organization would easily be defeated one by one.

"First Hokage, are you going to make a move?"

Shisui instantly appeared beside the First Hokage.

If Katakuri appeared, then either the First Hokage would act, or Shisui would use one of his Mangekyo Sharingan abilities.

Both were means to change the tide of battle.

"Hmm, this guy is a pirate, right!"

"For the Uchiha patriarch to care so much, his strength must be quite good. I'll give it a try!"

Senju Hashirama said.

Although he was dead, his combat instincts had not disappeared.

When he encountered someone powerful, he still wanted to go up and exchange a few blows. If not to kill, then to capture.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Shisui respected the First Hokage greatly.

He knew that the other party's initial goal was to establish a place where everyone could coexist peacefully.

And to resolve the hatred between him and the Uchiha, making the two families friendly, he was definitely a good person.

"I'm also very happy to be able to help you younger generations!"

Senju Hashirama said with a smile.

After speaking, he directly rushed towards Smoker, who was being beaten.

"Marine Vice Admiral?"

"Nothing special!"

Katakuri was clutching Smoker's neck with his right hand. Smoker couldn't break free at all. His attacks with his hands and feet would hit the opponent, but Katakuri would preemptively create a hollow in the part of his body that was about to be attacked, causing Smoker's attacks to miss.

He was very annoyed by being hit by the aftermath of the two Admirals' attacks earlier. Plus, the Marine had been constantly capturing pirates at sea during this time, and Big Big mom had also been impacted.

So, he would not show mercy to the Marine.

But suddenly, Katakuri directly released his hand clutching Smoker's neck, jumped back a few times, and stood on the shattered deck of the Marine warship, looking at the suddenly appearing Senju Hashirama with surprise and uncertainty.

"Oh, a very agile reaction. Can your ability really see the future?"

Senju Hashirama was somewhat surprised and curious at the same time.

"Who are you!"

Katakuri felt the same kind of deterrence from this short guy in front of him as he did from Big mom.

He was actually a little afraid!

"Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage of Konoha!"

Senju Hashirama proudly stated his identity as the Hokage, believing that establishing Konoha was the best thing he had ever done in his life.
