Gear Fourth: Boundman (1)

"Hmph, you're no match for me. There's no way you can beat me," Doflamingo said dismissively.

He had fought Straw Hat Boy for quite some time, and from their encounters, he knew that Straw Hat Boy's strength was no match for his own. Therefore, he was confident that Straw Hat Boy was no match for him at all.

The Straw Hat Boy couldn't beat him, so he couldn't stop the Birdcage. Therefore, he wasn't worried.

"Hmph, what you see is only the surface. Doflamingo, next, I will show you my true power," Straw Hat Boy Luffy said coldly.

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to see what your true power is like." Doflamingo said with a mocking expression.

"You'll understand," the Straw Hat Boy snorted and said.

"If that's the case, then let's go!" Doflamingo beckoned with his finger, saying provocatively.

Without further hesitation, the Straw Hat Boy immediately began making preparations.

He stretched out a hand, then summoned his Haki, wrapping it around his hand. After a moment, he took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide, bit down on the hand wrapped in the Haki, and blew hard on it.

Moments later, his fist grew larger, becoming a giant's fist, which was quite frightening.

That fist was pitch black, completely enveloped in Haki. Soon, the Straw Hat Boy channeled the energy from his fist into his entire body.

After a moment, he completely changed.

His hands and feet were completely enveloped in a blood-red, domineering Haki, and his entire body was also covered in this Haki. He looked like a giant ape.

Special runes formed from his Haki appeared on his chest; it was unclear what they meant.

After transforming into this form, the Straw Hat Boy's aura instantly changed, becoming extremely imposing.

His body was so flexible that he couldn't even stand up straight, which shows just how strong his body's elasticity was.

He kept jumping around in place, unable to stop.

"Hmm, what kind of weird move is that?" Doflamingo had been watching without making a move, because he believed that his strength was no less than that of the Straw Hat Boy, and that the Straw Hat Boy could not hurt him.

Therefore, he did not stop the Straw Hat Boy from transforming.

"This is my Gear Fourth, my strongest move. Doflamingo, you can just stand there and wait to die!" Straw Hat Boy said.

"Heh, Gear Fourth? What the hell is that? Is it some kind of super powerful weapon?" Doflamingo said, "Don't laugh at me. You can't even stand properly, how could you possibly attack me?"

"Shut up, Doflamingo. All you need to know is that you're about to die," the Straw Hat Boy said. "This is a technique I've practiced for two years. To master it, I fought monsters many times larger than myself every day. Without a body like this, I wouldn't stand a chance."

"This is the culmination of my two years of training. You have no right to insult me. Just watch, I will break through all your defenses and leave you with no place to bury your body."

He trained on that island of ferocious beasts, where every opponent was extremely powerful, enormous in size, and possessed astonishing explosive power.

The fact that he was able to survive there and become its king demonstrates just how powerful he was.

He hadn't used it before because he didn't yet understand Doflamingo's fighting techniques. If he used it recklessly, he would definitely suffer a loss.

Therefore, he hadn't used it until now, when he finally did.

Gear Fourth is Luffy's ultimate technique. It is a mutation resulting from the fusion of Haki and Devil Fruit, making it extremely powerful.

Now, every part of his body is brimming with boundless explosive power, making him fully capable of fighting Doflamingo to the death.

"Hmph, kid, if you can do it, then come on! I'll be waiting for you here," Doflamingo said dismissively.

Without further hesitation, Luffy slammed his leg into the ground, propelling his entire body toward Doflamingo at incredible speed, almost indistinguishable from teleportation.

Before Doflamingo could react, the Straw Hat Boy were already beside him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Straw Hat Boy punched Doflamingo.

Doflamingo immediately used both hands to block, trying to stop the Straw Hat Boy's attack.

In no time, his hands blocked the Straw Hat Boy's fist, which was wrapped in Haki.

"Heh, is that all? I thought it was something special." Doflamingo sneered.

"Hmph, really?" Straw Hat Boy said with a smile, "You're probably going to suffer."

"Really? I..." Doflamingo wanted to say, "I don't think so."

But at that moment, his expression suddenly changed, because a tremendous force was erupting from the Straw Hat Boy's fist.

His body was blasted away by the impact, shooting off like a cannonball towards the area below the platform.

His body crashed into many buildings, but none of them could stop him; they were all knocked down. This shows just how powerful the impact was.

He crashed into thirteen buildings before coming to a stop.

The reason why Straw Hat Boy's attack power has become so strong is because he has activated the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit and combined it with Haki to develop this ability to the maximum.

What you saw was just a light punch, but the power behind it was extraordinary.

"He's not dead yet. We must act quickly and take him down." The Straw Hat Boy looked up at the sky and noticed that the Birdcage hadn't disappeared and was shrinking step by step.

This indicates that the user still possesses consciousness. If the user doesn't die, or loses consciousness, then their ability will not be dispelled.

Therefore, he had to strike again, otherwise the Birdcage would shrink step by step, eventually endangering his life.

He acted immediately, heading straight for Doflamingo.

His legs, like a telescopic machine, kept extending and retracting. Because the movements were so fast, it looked as if his legs were missing.

He used the elasticity to fly through the air. This was something he couldn't do before, but now he could.

However, the Straw Hat Boy cannot use this ability for an extended period. Gear Fourth too much strain on his body, and there is a time limit to its use.

Therefore, when using this move, he must finish quickly, otherwise, once the Gear Fourth is disengaged, he will become useless.

At that time, Doflamingo could have killed him with just a slight movement.

He doesn't usually use this tactic unless it's a critical moment.

Now, this is a critical moment. The Birdcage is closing in, and they are getting closer and closer to death. If he doesn't use it now, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So he used it without hesitation.

Doflamingo is still alive, so he has to hurry.

He flew through the air again, and soon he was not far from Doflamingo.

By this time, Doflamingo had already stood up. He looked disheveled, covered in blood, and it was clear that he had just suffered a great loss.

"Doflamingo, now you know how powerful I am!" Straw Hat Boy snorted and said.

"Hmph, I just didn't notice," Doflamingo immediately retorted.

However, although Doflamingo said that, his expression was very serious.

Because he's a king, possessing Conqueror's Haki, he can sense everything around him. Yet, he still suffered a loss, which is enough to show that the Straw Hat Boy's attack was very powerful; even if he wanted to parry it, it would be difficult for him.

That's undeniable; the fact that he was blasted away by a single punch just now is enough to prove it.

"Heh, didn't you notice? Well, I'll make you notice now. Prepare to die!" Straw Hat Boy Luffy snorted unhappily, then launched another attack on Doflamingo.

He leaped into the air and charged straight at Doflamingo.

This time, Doflamingo dared not be careless and took the fight seriously. He unleashed his Super Long Whip, preparing to stop the Straw Hat Boy.

However, the Straw Hat Boy neither dodged nor evaded, but instead threw a punch that shattered the boy's Super Long Whip into countless pieces.

Doflamingo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately used Spider Wall to try and stop Straw Hat Boy. However, the result was the same; Straw Hat Boy destroyed his attack with a single punch.

Doflamingo's face darkened. The previous attacks had kept Straw Hat Boy busy and breathless. But now, these attacks were child's play to him.

He was deeply shocked; just how powerful were the Straw Hat Boy's combat skills?

"Rhino Schneider." Just as Doflamingo was lost in thought, the Straw Hat Boy flashed in front of Doflamingo again, striking Doflamingo's right cheek with both feet simultaneously.

Under the immense impact, Doflamingo was once again kicked away by the Straw Hat Boy.

Without hesitation, the Straw Hat Boy chased after it again.

Under the relentless pursuit of the Straw Hat Boy, Doflamingo suffered repeated defeats and was utterly humiliated.

Finally, he chose to escape, using the power of the String-String Fruit to fly into the sky.

He still hasn't figured out Straw Hat Boy's abilities and doesn't know how to counter them.

Therefore, if he stayed to fight the Straw Hat Boy to the death, he would definitely suffer a great loss in the end. Choosing to escape was the best option for him.

Previously, Doflamingo was aloof and looked down on the Straw Hat Boy. Now, he's fleeing in a panic, creating a stark contrast.

Doflamingo must be the most frustrated one right now, because he's about to become a prisoner.

"Run? Let's see where you can run to." The Straw Hat Boy scoffed, then immediately soared into the sky and began the chase.

When Doflamingo saw that the Straw Hat Boy was coming after him, he had no choice but to deal with him.

The Straw Hat Boy chased after him for a while, but found that running around like this was too tiring.

So he immediately used another skill, Culverin.

He swung his fist out, and the fist, like a snake, began to chase after Doflamingo. Wherever Doflamingo went, his fist followed. Meanwhile, he himself hovered in the air, completely still.

After a chase lasting several dozen seconds, the Straw Hat Boy's fist finally caught up with Doflamingo and smashed into his face, sending Doflamingo flying from the sky.

Doflamingo, having exhausted his strength, slammed heavily into the ground, causing it to immediately cave in.

In the distance, countless people watched in disbelief. The Straw Hat Boy could actually suppress Doflamingo —this was unprecedented!

Everyone was excited to see Doflamingo get hurt. If Doflamingo was defeated, they would be free.

"Heh heh, at this rate, it probably won't be long before Doflamingo is dead." The Little Black Cat on the west side of the platform watched and burst into laughter.

The Straw Hat Boy's attack power is very strong, Doflamingo is completely suppressed. If this continues, it won't be long before Doflamingo is doomed.

"That's not necessarily true." Fanxin was not so optimistic upon hearing this. His face was solemn, and he seemed somewhat worried.

"Why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

"Straw Hat Boy overused his Haki. Everyone's Haki is limited, and overuse puts a heavy burden on the body. Moreover, he used so much Haki at once. Once Armament, he'll probably be unable to fight for a while, and an ordinary person could kill him," Fanxin said.

Having cultivated his Haki, he naturally knew what would happen if he overused Haki.

The reason why Straw Hat Boy has such powerful attack power is entirely due to the combination of Haki and Devil Fruit, which gives him such formidable fighting strength.

Unless he can deal with Doflamingo before Armament disarmament, he'll be at a disadvantage.

"I see, then there are still some variables," the Little Black Cat said.

"Isn't that right? Just watch, it won't be long before the outcome is decided," Fanxin said.

The Straw Hat Boy have used their ultimate moves; the final battle is definitely about to begin.

Everyone nodded, then looked into the distance.

In the distance, Doflamingo hadn't died after landing. He sat up, looked at the Straw Hat Boy in the sky, and after a long period of contemplation, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Heh, combining Haki with Devil Fruit? Not bad, not a bad method." Doflamingo laughed and laughed, then suddenly became somewhat manic, as if he had won the lottery.

The reason he laughed so loudly was because he had discovered a way to improve his combat effectiveness.

Previously, he didn't know how to use it. However, the Straw Hat Boy reminded him, making him realize that Haki can actually be combined with Devil Fruit. After combining them, the Devil Fruit's power can be developed to its fullest potential.

He just used it and found that his ability had changed.

He was naturally delighted. His increased abilities meant he could now deal with the Straw Hat Boy. The Straw Hat Boy wouldn't be able to easily subdue him anymore.

But he was able to turn the tables and defeat, and even kill, the Straw Hat Boy.
