Doflamingo looked at the group of people beside him, feeling a sense of 'out of sight, out of mind.' He quickly turned his head, his expression unusually grave as he looked at Luffy.
Luffy stared intently at Doflamingo, his eyes burning with a fervent fighting spirit. He took a deep breath, then abruptly put his thumb in his mouth and blew hard.
In an instant, his arm rapidly inflated, muscles bulging, and he immediately entered his Gear Three "Giant Pistol" form.
Doflamingo saw this, a sneer playing on his lips, but a hint of caution in his eyes.
He lightly flicked his wrist, and the strings in his hand danced as if alive.
"Hmph, Straw Hat, let's see just how capable you really are."
Luffy didn't respond. He stomped his foot, the ground instantly cracking, and he shot forward like a cannonball.
With a whooshing sound, he raised his enormous arm high and brought it down with full force towards Doflamingo.
Doflamingo reacted incredibly fast, easily dodging the seemingly unstoppable blow.
At the same time, he rapidly moved his hands, and countless thin yet tough strings shot towards Luffy like rain.
Seeing this, Luffy swung his giant arm, batting away the strings one by one. However, there were too many strings, and a few grazed his body, leaving streaks of blood.
"Haha, is that all you've got?" Doflamingo taunted, unleashing an even fiercer attack.
He manipulated the strings to weave a giant net in the air, engulfing Luffy.
Luffy, however, showed no signs of backing down. He roared, continuously pounding the string net with his massive fist, each blow causing the entire net to tremble violently.
Doflamingo frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He increased his control over the string net.
But Luffy took a deep breath, channeling all his strength, and in his Gear Three state, he unleashed another powerful punch capable of shaking heaven and earth.
This punch directly broke through Doflamingo's meticulously arranged string net and shot straight towards Doflamingo.
Doflamingo's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly retreated backward, simultaneously manipulating strings to form a solid defensive barrier in front of him.
Luffy's fist slammed heavily onto this barrier with a loud bang. The powerful impact made Doflamingo's arm numb, and he was forced back several steps.
Amidst the fierce exchange, the surrounding buildings collapsed under the aftershocks of the battle, raising clouds of dust. Every clash of attack and defense was accompanied by a tremendous roar.
Bartolomeo's thought process was always uniquely unconventional, yet this time he was unexpectedly considerate.
His Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability was fully activated, and a sturdy, semicircular barrier instantly rose from the ground, completely shielding everyone within it.
This barrier was like a transparent fortress, not only allowing Orochimaru to comfortably watch the intense battle ahead but also hermetically sealing off all the flying dust, preventing it from getting close to anyone.
Cavendish, however, wasn't so lucky. Bartolomeo showed no mercy to this handsome yet complex pirate.
He even directly ordered Diamante to tie him up like a zongzi. For such a fun task, Diamante had no reason to refuse, and the long sword in his hand instantly transformed into a very resilient ribbon, wrapping Cavendish into a zongzi.
And Bartolomeo still felt it wasn't enough. He swaggered over and plopped down heavily on Cavendish, using him as a human chair.
He completely ignored Cavendish, who was fuming and cursing below, his face twisted in anger.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, and Luffy knew he couldn't afford to remain in a stalemate. He decided to go all out.
He took a deep breath, and his aura instantly surged. The surrounding air seemed to be pulled by his power, forming a powerful current. "Gear Four! Boundman!" Luffy's body underwent astonishing changes; his skin became inflated like a rubber balloon, his muscles became even more developed, and his entire being exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
Appearing in his Gear Four form, Luffy's combat power instantly soared to a terrifying level. He rushed towards Doflamingo like a bolt of lightning, unleashing a barrage of attacks like a furious storm.
"Gum-Gum — King Kong Gun!" "Gum-Gum — Python!" Every one of Luffy's blows contained world-shattering power, forcing Doflamingo to respond with all his might.
Doflamingo, relying on his rich combat experience and powerful Devil Fruit ability, barely managed to fend off Luffy's relentless assault.
But a hint of surprise had begun to show in his eyes.
In the fierce battle, Luffy and Doflamingo's figures constantly intertwined, each collision erupting in dazzling light.
The sky of Dressrosa was lit up by the battle's glow, and the ground became riddled with craters due to their fight. This battle was not only a clash of power but also a contest of will.
Finally, after a grueling and arduous battle, (That's enough, 5555 San can't write anymore, I really want to just write'skip') Luffy seized an opportunity from one of Doflamingo's mistakes, using all his strength to deliver a fatal blow that would change the tide of the battle.
"Gum-Gum — Lion rocket launcher!" Luffy's fists, carrying unparalleled power, heavily slammed into Doflamingo's body.
Doflamingo's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the distant ruins.
Looking at Doflamingo, who was trying to get up from the ground, a memory of being maliciously pranked by Orochimaru suddenly flashed through Luffy's mind.
A different emotion surged in his heart. At this moment, this emotion transformed into the power of an attack.
Luffy suddenly leaped high, his legs rapidly twisting and gathering power in the air, like a python poised to strike.
"Snake Whip!!" Luffy roared, charging forward with an unyielding momentum, his snake-like legs, like a falling meteor, slammed fiercely towards Doflamingo.
This kick carried a powerful wind pressure; the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Doflamingo subconsciously blocked, but his movements were a few beats slower due to his severe injuries.
"Boom!" With a loud crash, Luffy's legs slammed heavily onto Doflamingo's body. The powerful impact instantly cracked the surrounding ground, and dust once again flew everywhere.
With Doflamingo's fall, this thrilling battle finally came to an end.
Looking at Orochimaru, who was no longer in his original spot, the Donquixote cheering squad sighed, silently put away their banners, and replaced them with elegiac couplets and wreaths... Poor Young Master... *sobs*... I hope Lord Orochimaru's scolding will be... well... a little merciful.
(Finally, finally done fighting!!! Sugar-free whole wheat bread's scream.jpg)
