"Give up, you are no match for me."
Baby5 looked coldly at Cecilia in the distance. "Step aside quickly, and I might spare your life."
The woman before her was truly a troublemaker. Injured yet still holding her ground.
It would take some time to deal with her.
But if this dragged on, she wouldn't be able to provide support.
"Step aside? How could I possibly do that?"
Upon hearing this, Cecilia charged at Baby5 once more, kicking out with force.
Faced with this attack, Baby5 transformed into a bomb again and detonated.
Boom.
The explosion rang out, and Baby5 slowly recovered. However, just as she regained her senses, she was stunned to see a foot looming large before her.
What was this attack?
Baby5's expression turned to one of surprise as she realized who it was. How could she be here?
I must stop her.
With no time to transform into a missile, Baby5 could only use her head like a hammer.
Boom.
The foot struck her face in an instant, delivering a blow infused with Armament Haki that landed squarely on her head.
Crack, crack.
The iron hammer showed cracks, then reverted to the shape of Baby 5's head, blood splattering across her face, bones shattered as she collapsed to the ground.
"Finally won."
Cecilia watched this scene and felt a wave of relief wash over her, only to cough up blood.
At that moment, she was battered and bruised, her wings stained with blood, and her body covered in wounds.
To land an attack on Baby 5, she had endured the explosion of a bomb. Fearing that her Armament Haki might not be sufficient, she chose not to defend with it but instead used Iron Body.
Even in the Iron Body state, she sustained significant damage, but in the brief moment of recovery, she managed to kick out.
That kick shattered the iron hammer Baby 5 had transformed into, breaking its transformation state. The force followed through, knocking her unconscious.
"What a trouble."
Cecilia sat there, her expression pained. She looked into the distance; Nico Robin had already gotten back on her feet while Zoro was still locked in battle with Diamante, neither side gaining the upper hand.
"As long as I can hold them off."
Cecilia's mission was to delay them, giving Luo a chance to fight.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting for rescue."
Cecilia thought as she sat down on the ground, but at that moment, a figure loomed over her.
"Huh?"
Cecilia looked up and saw a muscular man with yellow hair standing behind her, wearing a vest, his bare chest adorned with the emblem of the Donquixote Pirates.
"You all look quite strong," the man said with a smile.
Cecilia gritted her teeth and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Bellamy," he replied, standing there confidently. "I'm a member of Doflamingo's crew. I heard the alarm and rushed over, hoping to help out. It seems I've found you all. First, I'll take care of you before assisting the Young Master."
With that, Bellamy raised his fist, ready to strike down.
"It hurts... I can't move."
Cecilia wanted to stand up, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn't muster the strength to move.
“Blooming Flowers, Net.”
In that moment, Bellamy extended multiple arms from his body, locking his joints and twisting them backward.
“Cecilia, hurry and get away.”
From a distance, Nico Robin said, using her powers to control Bellamy.
“Thank you, Nico Robin.”
Cecilia slowly stood up and staggered away toward the distance.
“Control? That won’t work on me.”
Bellamy laughed as his twisted limbs began to spring back like coils.
“It’s useless.”
With his limbs transforming into springs, Bellamy twisted them back and reached for Nico Robin.
Swish.
The arm that was caught immediately turned into petals, and then more arms extended from Bellamy, gradually pulling his limbs back.
“Hyena Bellamy.”
Nico Robin looked at the man before her and said, "I know your abilities."
"Is that so?"
Bellamy sneered, then glanced at his captured arm. He activated Armament Haki, feeling it surge within him before spreading outward to form an invisible armor.
"Ah."
As the invisible armor manifested, the Armament Haki directly injured his arm, causing it to disintegrate into petals that vanished into the air.
"Die."
Bellamy did not use his abilities; instead, he stomped his feet on the ground and lunged toward Cecilia. He closed in beside her and raised his fist to strike her head.
"It's over."
Cecilia tried to defend herself, but a sharp pain shot through her arm, rendering her unable to lift it.
Clang.
At the moment his fist was about to hit Cecilia, a sword blocked his punch.
Before him stood a tall man, nearly three meters high, balancing on one leg and wielding a long sword.
"Who are you?"
Bellamy looked at the other person, furrowing his brow. His time in Dressrosa was limited, yet he found the person before him strikingly familiar.
"Thank you for helping me return to my former self," the man said with a smile, then gripped his sword with both hands and swung down again.
"Useless," Bellamy replied, his arm enveloped in Armament Haki as he raised it to block.
Clang.
The long sword struck down, and while Bellamy's arm managed to intercept the blow, his expression darkened. The opponent's strength was overwhelming, continuously slicing down and depleting his Armament Haki.
"Damn it," Bellamy muttered, pushing against the long sword with his right hand while his left fist shot out.
Boom.
His left fist extended to its limit but hit nothing but air.
Then the man appeared behind Bellamy and swung his sword in a reverse strike.
Thud.
A massive bloodstain appeared on Bellamy's back, blood splattering everywhere, and his bones were severed.
"How could this happen?"
Bellamy's body went limp, collapsing to the ground.
"Can you hand him over to me? He has a grudge against me."
The man gripped his sword and walked towards Diamante and the others.
"Sure."
The others immediately retreated, moving back towards the high ground.
Diamante did not pursue; instead, he looked at the man with caution and slowly said, "Cyrus."
"Ah, it's Cyrus."
Bellamy, lying on the ground, recalled that name.
He had entered the Dressrosa arena at the age of fifteen and achieved three thousand victories, becoming a legendary figure in Dressrosa.
To this day, there was still a statue of him in front of the Bullfighting Arena.
"I can't believe you still remember me."
"Cyrus said, 'Thank you for giving me the chance to take my revenge.'"
"Revenge?"
Diamante sneered, "Even at your peak, you might not have been able to defeat me. And now, with only one leg left, how much strength can you possibly have?"
"You'll find out if you try."
Cyrus charged forward, leaping towards Diamante and instantly closing the distance, swinging his sword.
"Thunder Destruction Sword."
The long sword crackled with lightning as it came crashing down. Diamante raised his own sword to block.
Clang.
The two swords collided, and Diamante's sword was instantly shattered, falling uselessly to the ground.
Gush.
Diamante's chest was sliced open, and he stared blankly at Cyrus before coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.
"Scarlet, I have avenged you."
With tears in his eyes, Cyrus lowered his head, then wiped away the tears and looked at those before him. "Thank you all. Now please allow me to help you fight against Doflamingo."
He was transformed into Toy Soldiers by Sugar and joined the Toy Soldier Brigade, becoming a police force that maintained the regime.
He had always hoped for revenge, to overthrow Doflamingo's rule, but was limited by his body and could do nothing.
Until just now, when the alarm rang, he saw Diamante hurriedly leaving and followed closely behind.
He witnessed those fighting against the Don Quixote Family; their strength was formidable, able to hold their own against them.
But the sudden appearance of Bellamy changed the tide of battle once again.
He didn't know what to do; with the power of the Toy Soldiers, he couldn't possibly stop Bellamy.
Yet in the next moment, he regained his original form.
He saved Cecilia and dealt with both Bellamy and Diamante.
But he felt it wasn't enough; he still needed to confront Doflamingo.
"No need."
Cecilia said from a distance, "Someone is already dealing with Doflamingo. We don't need anyone else’s help; our duty is to guard this entrance and not let anyone pass through here."
Eight gripped his sword and said, "So if you plan to confront Doflamingo, we can only stop you."
"Is that so?"
Cyrus heard this and glanced at them, nodding as he said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I will contact the others; I'm sure many need help."
With that, Cyrus jumped into the distance.
"If you see a giant beast, do not try to stop it."
Nico Robin shouted from afar, "He is one of us."
"I'll remember that."
Cyrus's voice echoed back as his figure disappeared from sight.
