Chapter 80 Clash of Conqueror's Haki! Doflamingo ArrivesKurik chuckled as he retorted, a glint in his eyes.
Usopp was instantly moved to tears by Kurik's stubborn romanticism: "Uncle! You really are a man!"
Nami, standing nearby, looked at the two with disdain: "Isn't this just idiots?"
Suddenly, Luffy, who was flirting with Robin, sharpened his gaze.
Zoro and Sanji also felt their hair stand on end at the same time, their eyes snapping towards the dark jungle outside like cheetahs.
A terrifying pressure, like a tsunami, crashed down on them from outside the door.
Conqueror's Haki!
"Hmph!"
Luffy snorted coldly, his Conqueror's Haki erupting like a volcano, colliding violently with the domineering aura outside.
Boom!
Two invisible forces collided in mid-air, creating a visible hurricane that instantly blew open the door, scattering leftover food from the banquet everywhere.
"Fufufufufu!"
A chillingly manic laugh suddenly erupted from outside, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
"Who is it?"
Zoro's hand was already on his sword hilt, his face ashen.
Luffy slowly rose and led the way outside, Zoro and Sanji following closely behind, forming a protective shield.
Pushing open the door, in the moonlight, a flamboyant man in a pink feathered coat, sunglasses, and pointed shoes swaggered arrogantly towards Luffy.
A suffocating aura of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his unrestrained body.
A Shichibukai!
Donquixote Doflamingo!
"Fufufufu, seeing is believing! I never expected that the rising star of the Marines, Vice Admiral Monkey D. Luffy, would possess such unparalleled Conqueror's Haki. That's truly surprising."
Doflamingo slowly stopped a few meters away from Luffy, brazenly scrutinizing him, his Haki receding like a receding tide.
"Who is this weirdo?"
Nami cautiously peeked out from behind C.C., her voice trembling.
Luffy looked up, staring fearlessly at Doflamingo's sunglasses: "So, what's your purpose in coming here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, Heavenly Demon—Doflamingo!"
Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew behind him collectively froze.
Nami instantly went berserk, grabbing Zoro by the collar and shaking him violently: "Did you two cause some trouble again during the day?!"
Zorro, dizzy from the shaking, looked around nervously: "No trouble at all, just casually took down some nobody who claimed to be working for Doflamingo."
Nami, upon hearing this, felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, on the verge of tears.
"Fufufufufu..."
Doflamingo ignored Nami's antics, casually waving his hand.
Beside him, Trebol, with two snotty noses hanging from his nose, flung several bloody heads out from his disgusting, slimy coat.
These were the Hyena Pirates' henchmen whom Luffy had casually let go during the day.
"I never expected that these ignorant scoundrels would dare to use the name of our Don Quixote family to swindle and cheat people, and offend our Vice Admiral."
"So this time, I've come specifically to apologize to everyone with a generous gift."
Trebol sniffled, his voice muffled and nauseating.
"Ah! So cute!"
Nami and Vivi behind him, seeing the little girl Sugar eating grapes amidst the monsters, were instantly overcome with maternal instincts.
Only Luffy's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he raised his foot, launching a powerful flying kick straight for Sugar's head.
Doflamingo behind him, his expression changed drastically, reacting with lightning speed to block.
Bang!
The two legs collided, creating a muffled thud in the air.
"Fufufufu, Vice Admiral, what do you mean by trying to kill a little girl?"
Doflamingo's face was grim; even through his sunglasses, his chilling aura was palpable.
Luffy stared coldly at Doflamingo, the Rinnegan's ripples faintly appearing in his eyes: "I don't have time to play house with you right now, Joker!"
"Life is short. If you're in a hurry to reincarnate and take shortcuts, I don't mind doing you a favor and helping you out!"
Before he finished speaking, Luffy's eyes instantly transformed into Rinnegan form.
Shinra Tensei!
An overwhelmingly powerful repulsive force erupted from Luffy's center.
Caught off guard, Doflamingo was thrown back as if struck by a giant hammer.
Trebol's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used his slime ability to desperately protect Sugar.
For the clan, even if Doflamingo was injured, Sugar, as a core member, absolutely could not lose consciousness!
"What kind of bizarre ability is this?"
Doflamingo adjusted his body mid-air and landed, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face more grave than ever before.
It seems I underestimated this legendary Vice Admiral who supposedly rose to power through connections.
As Luffy's first real test after his two-year timeskip, his Gear Fourth debut was indeed explosive.
However, a closer analysis of his strength reveals that Doflamingo's level is at best comparable to Cracker, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, or Jack, Kaido's only punching bag.
If Luffy were to unleash his full power now, he could easily crush him.
But the truth about Dressrosa hasn't been revealed yet, and Doflamingo, as a former Celestial Dragon, has deep roots within the World Government.
Taking him down now would not only bring no real benefit but would also cause him trouble.
Therefore, Luffy doesn't intend to kill him here for the time being.
But this doesn't mean he can tolerate Doflamingo's overconfidence.
His earlier test with Conqueror's Haki and the severed head he threw out clearly indicate that this guy heard my boast and came specifically to retaliate.
Even more insidious, this guy actually attempted to use Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit to completely obliterate his existence without him even realizing it.
If it were the oblivious Luffy from the original story, he'd probably be a toy soldier by now.
Unfortunately, the one standing here is a transmigrator, and one with a cheat code.
Although the amount of chakra he's refined isn't astonishing, a single Shinra Tensei would be enough to inflict a heavy blow on his opponent when he's completely unprepared.
Looking at Doflamingo wiping his mouth, Luffy's eyes were filled with contempt, as if he were looking at an ant:
"Want to die? I'll grant your wish. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have that pathetic former Celestial Dragon status."
"Even if you were still a Celestial Dragon, I'd still beat you up! Try me if you don't believe me."
"You bastard!!"
The veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged, writhing like earthworms, clearly indicating he was furious to the extreme
