Bellamy stomped heavily on the ground, launching himself into the sky like a rocket. First Gear was silently pushed to its limit. Scalding hot blood turned his entire body crimson. The energy within him, seemingly endless, surged into his fists.
After countless battles, Bellamy knew that combat was nothing more than a contest of power, skill, and will. He had seized the initiative at the very start of this fight. His momentum was at its peak, while Doflamingo was still completely unaware. As the saying goes, the first charge is the strongest, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted. Bellamy was going to use this opportunity to build his momentum in one fell swoop.
"Take this! Meteor Shower!"
At full power, his strength and speed reached a limit unimaginable to mortals. This move had no finesse; it was just a simple, ferocious barrage. But with the enhancement of his hyperbolic structure, the instantaneous acceleration of Bellamy's punches had already surpassed the speed of sound. The moment his fists scraped against the air, countless sparks flew out, as if about to ignite his entire body.
Innumerable crimson fist afterimages, accompanied by his explosive roar, rained down on the palace below like a meteor shower.
"Who is it?!"
The massive commotion finally alerted Doflamingo. His Observation Haki, almost in sync with his angry shout, spread out towards the sky like a canopy. But Bellamy's ferocious assault gave him no chance. Doflamingo had just sat up in bed when countless crimson fist afterimages shattered the palace dome and rained down on his head.
"Who is it?!" How dare someone cause trouble in his territory? How many years had it been since he had encountered such a bold bastard? Wait, why am I suddenly thinking of Bellamy at a time like this?
Doflamingo's brow furrowed as he raised his hand to form a defense.
"Spider's Web."
Thousands of transparent threads shot out from his sides, forming a massive, web-shaped shield. The crimson fist afterimages crashed against it, denting it deeply.
"This power!"
The moment the force of the punches exploded, Doflamingo realized something was wrong. With such explosive power, the attacker was no nobody.
"Spider's Nest!"
Doflamingo's combat experience was vast. The moment he sensed danger, he unhesitatingly used a stronger defensive move. Countless transparent threads shot out from his body, instantly filling the entire room, weaving the surroundings into a terrifying nest of webs.
"Take another one of my fists!"
Just then, an explosive roar came from above the nest.
"Shatter! Sky!"
An iron fist, shimmering with a dark golden luster amidst its blackness, suddenly slammed into the outer wall of the web. In an instant, the entire nest began to shake violently. With a deafening boom, the entire nest, along with a large part of the palace, was pulverized by this single punch.
A terrifying tremor, like a magnitude sixteen earthquake, sent the entire city into an uproar. At this point, even the most oblivious person knew that something big was happening tonight.
"It's you!"
"BE-LLA-MY!"
Doflamingo crawled out of a deep crater, looking disheveled. Bellamy's attack had been too sudden. He had failed to dodge that last punch and had taken it squarely in the chest.
"You bastard! How dare you show your face in front of me again!"
Stitching.
Doflamingo stalled for time while secretly healing his severely injured heart.
"Gyahahahaha!"
"Let's fight to the death!"
Unfortunately for him, Bellamy had no intention of talking. After a wild laugh, Bellamy threw another punch.
Armament: Super Destruction Punch!
His arm, bent to its absolute limit and coated in Armament Haki, was unleashed without reservation. The scorching hot fist afterimage dyed the surrounding air crimson.
"You bastard!"
Doflamingo could never understand why this guy, Bellamy, was so dead set against him. Did they have some irreconcilable hatred? It was just a minor friction, yet this bastard insisted on a life-and-death battle! This madman, Bellamy, had become the person Doflamingo hated most in his entire life. He had never hated someone as much as he did at this moment.
"Awakening: Shield White String!"
Such an explosive punch was coming straight at him. The sheer force of the wind from the punch, even before it landed, almost blew him away. Doflamingo didn't dare to be arrogant and immediately activated his Devil Fruit Awakening. The moment his awakened ability took effect, the entire ground turned into countless white threads, wrapping around him like a shield.
Bellamy's Super Destruction Punch crashed into the shield without pause. With a loud bang, a large hole suddenly appeared in the white shield. Countless threads shot out with a "boom," exposing what was behind it. But the next second, more threads swarmed in, forcibly plugging the gap.
"Tough!"
He hadn't held back at all with that punch, yet it couldn't break through a shield of string. Doflamingo's Devil Fruit Awakening was indeed astonishingly strong. But Bellamy had anticipated this before he even set foot on Dressrosa. He had never thought he could end this fight quickly. Before coming, he had stored up a full half-month's worth of energy. From the very beginning, he had planned to wear Doflamingo down to death.
Therefore, he absolutely could not let him use the Birdcage!
"I won't give you a chance to breathe!"
Bellamy's fist, stuck in the string shield, suddenly changed from a fist to a palm, pressing tightly against the shield.
"Voidwalker Palm!"
An invisible force, guided by his will, penetrated the string shield. Caught off guard, Doflamingo only had time to cross his arms to protect his vitals before he was sent flying.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Doflamingo's body, like a cannonball, smashed through dozens of walls before finally coming to a stop against the wall separating the inner and outer city.
BOOM!
With a final loud bang, half of the city wall collapsed, burying Doflamingo under the rubble.
"Tempest Kick: Vacuum Bullet!"
How could Bellamy give him a chance to breathe? The moment the wall collapsed, a rapidly spinning vacuum bullet followed it down. Seeing that Doflamingo was disoriented by his ferocious assault and unable to react, how could Bellamy let such a good opportunity slip by? After following up with a Tempest Kick, he immediately struck a strange pose, neither offensive nor defensive.
The ultimate secret art of Fish-Man Karate slowly flowed through his mind. The racial secret art of the fish-man race, passed down for nearly a thousand years, had reached a supreme state where its techniques could no longer be improved. After absorbing its countless essences, Bellamy had developed his own understanding of this martial art.
