Gear Fourth: Boundman (2)

"Heh heh, now no one can rival me." Doflamingo chuckled confidently.

He felt that his abilities had been elevated, reaching a new level that was fundamentally different from before.

Therefore, he was very confident and felt that no one could be his match.

He stood up, looked at the Straw Hat Boy in the sky, and said, "Kid, thanks for the reminder. Now let's start the battle!"

He stopped running away and faced the Straw Hat Boy head-on.

Previously, he was no match for them and could only run away. If he hadn't run away, he would have faced certain death.

However, he no longer needs to run away, because his abilities have increased, and he can now fight the Straw Hat Boy to the death.

"Still not dead? Well then, I'll send you on your way!" the Straw Hat Boy snapped irritably.

After saying that, he rushed towards Doflamingo, ready to kill Doflamingo.

Faced with the Straw Hat Boy's aggressive demeanor, Doflamingo smiled calmly. He pressed his hand firmly to the ground, and after a moment, the ground began to change.

The ground, which was originally made of concrete fragments, has now transformed into lines, with Doflamingo at the center and everything around him turning into white lines.

Those lines were under his control; he could make them do as he pleased, because they were manifestations of his power.

He waved his hand, and countless white lines gathered together, forming dozens of tentacles that enveloped him.

His fingers moved slowly, manipulating the tentacles as he fought against the Straw Hat Boy.

Those tentacles were all wrapped in Haki, making them extremely hard.

He kept attacking Straw Hat Boy, preventing him from getting any closer.

In this way, the Straw Hat Boy would be unable to harm him.

Although Straw Hat Boy's punches were powerful, they couldn't shatter his tentacles now, because his abilities had been elevated. It was impossible for him to easily break through his tentacles as before.

His tentacles kept interfering, preventing the Straw Hat Boy from getting close.

Not only that, Doflamingo also turned everything around him into lines, giving him no chance to land.

The moment Straw Hat Boy lands, he'll be caught by his tentacles.

In that case, he could easily control the Straw Hat Boy and then kill him.

Straw Hat Boy was helpless and had no choice but to fight and dodge at the same time.

With Doflamingo's interference, the Straw Hat Boy is getting further and further away from Doflamingo's true form, which makes him increasingly anxious.

Because his skill has a time limit, if he doesn't get those Doflamingo soon enough, he'll be the one who suffers.

"Damn it, I can't delay any longer. I have to finish this quickly, or things will get really complicated." Straw Hat Boy gritted his teeth and charged towards Doflamingo.

If those tentacles interfere with him, he will ruthlessly cleave you in two and continue on his way.

However, after a moment, he was caught by Doflamingo's tentacles.

The reason for this is that Doflamingo has protected himself so thoroughly that he is surrounded by tentacles.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't break through all at once.

Unable to break through, he was naturally captured.

His hands, feet, and neck were bound by tentacles.

"Damn it, let me go, let me go!" the Straw Hat Boy shouted angrily.

"Hmph, you've been caught by me, and you think you can escape my grasp? Do you think that's possible?" Doflamingo chuckled and said, "Kid, you can die now. Next, I'll make you understand the consequences of offending me."

"You won't succeed," the Straw Hat Boy snapped.

"Let's give it a try!" Doflamingo chuckled, controlling the other sixteen tentacles and shouting, "16 Holy Bullets, fire!"

These tentacles immediately rushed towards Straw Hat Boy, ready to stab him to death.

"Armament!" the Straw Hat Boy shouted.

He summoned his Haki to protect his chest, preventing the tentacles from piercing his heart.

The sixteen tentacles attacked in succession, causing the Straw Hat Boy to suffer a great loss.

Although he used Armament Haki to protect that area, Doflamingo's tentacles were also wrapped in Armament Haki.

As a result, his advantage has clearly diminished.

Shortly afterward, one of the tentacles pierced Straw Hat Boy's body, severely injuring him.

At the same time, something even worse happened: the Straw Hat Boy skill's duration had expired.

His Armament Haki disappeared, and he returned to normal.

However, he was completely limp and had no strength left. If it weren't for Doflamingo's tentacles supporting his body, he would have been lying on the ground like a dead dog.

"Heh, so there's a time limit, huh? Very well. Now you have no power to resist me. I can do whatever I want with you; you have no choice but to accept it, no way to resist." Doflamingo saw that the Straw Hat Boy's Armament had been disarmed and instantly understood the weakness of his technique.

He laughed even harder, because he was full of energy, and his chances of winning were obvious.

"Damn it!" Straw Hat Boy was furious, never expecting things to turn out this way. However, there was no use in being upset now, because his current situation was extremely precarious.

"Heh heh, you can die now." Doflamingo laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, your companions will soon be reunited with you in the underworld."

After saying that, he manipulated his tentacles, preparing to kill the Straw Hat Boy.

He didn't want to wait until the other person recovered before killing him; that would be too risky.

He planned to kill Straw Hat Boy when he was at his weakest, so that he could finally relax completely.

The tentacle moved forward quickly, and soon it was beside Straw Hat Boy, about to pierce his body.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared, grabbed the tentacles, and prevented it from moving forward.

The one who grasped the tentacles was none other than Fanxin.

He had previously discerned the Straw Hat Boy's weakness and knew that the Straw Hat Boy was in danger.

So he took Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat and headed straight this way. Luckily, they made it in time, otherwise, the Straw Hat Boy would definitely have died.

"Hmm, is it your turn now?" Doflamingo said coldly.

"Hehe, yeah, I'm getting a little itchy and want to spar with you. Please don't refuse," Fanxin said. "As for Straw Hat Boy, how about you leave him to us?"

Straw Hat Boy is no longer capable of fighting and must be sent away, otherwise he'll be in trouble.

"Hmph, he's my prisoner. I can do whatever I want with him, it's none of your business," Doflamingo sneered.

"That won't do." Fanxin pondered for a moment, looked at Ren Fang, and said, "Use your ability to take Straw Hat Boy away."

If he makes a move now, Doflamingo will definitely stop him. At that point, he might not be able to rescue the Straw Hat Boy.

However, if Ren Fang were to intervene, there would be no problem. With him watching Doflamingo from the sidelines, Ren Fang could easily take the Straw Hat Boy away.

Her ability allows her to split a person into countless smaller spaces, making it impossible for Doflamingo to capture the Straw Hat Boy.

"Understood." Ren Fang nodded, then without hesitation, he immediately used his ability on the Straw Hat Boy.

A moment later, the Straw Hat Boy's body disintegrated, turning into countless starlight, which eventually fell into Ren Fang's hands.

Doflamingo's tentacles were completely useless, because he couldn't lock down those small spaces.

Once Ren Fang had settled things, Fanxin sent Ren Fang into the Diamond Space so she could stay there comfortably.

He and the Little Black Cat, meanwhile, faced an enraged Doflamingo and prepared to fight him.

"Damn it, how dare you interfere with my plans? You're asking for death!" Doflamingo shouted coldly.

"Hmph, don't be so arrogant. You think you can kill me so easily? My strength is no less than yours," Fanxin said. "If you want to fight, then so be it."

As he spoke, he took out three knives: a diamond knife, a Seven Star Sword, and a Dragon-Slaying Sword.

He Dragon-Slaying Sword out, letting it fight on its own, while he, wielding the Diamond Blade and the Seven Star Sword, confronted Doflamingo.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword into the sky, and after a moment, it transformed into countless small red dragons. A moment later, they changed again, turning into small black dragons.

That's because they're imbued with an aura of Haki. Now that they're connected to the Fanxin, they can also use the Fanxin's Haki of dominance.

After transforming into a small black dragon, the Dragon-Slaying Sword swooped down and began attacking Doflamingo.

Seeing the attack coming, Doflamingo had no choice but to retaliate.

Meanwhile, Fanxin also didn't hold back and attacked Doflamingo.

The Little Black Cat also took advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack from behind.

A new round of battle has begun.

Doflamingo is extremely busy dealing with both the Dragon-Slaying Sword and his Fanxin.

Fortunately, his ability allows him to attack multiple targets simultaneously. So, although he was extremely busy, he was able to manage.

Fanxin Xin Haki his body and sword in Haki, then charged straight at Doflamingo.

As he ran, he swung his twin swords, unleashing countless bursts of sword energy that hurtled towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo immediately controlled his body to stop it.

With a bang, all the sword energy struck Doflamingo's tentacles.

After a brief standoff, the sword energy vanished.

"Damn it, it seems ordinary attacks are useless against Doflamingo." Fanxin glanced at him and said unhappily.

"That makes sense. So what are you planning to do?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.

"What else can I do but fuse with the Diamond Beast? They're my biggest trump card." Fanxin smiled bitterly and said.

He really had no other choice; Doflamingo could stop his normal attacks. Engaging in a prolonged fight would only be a waste of his energy.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use his trump card to get rid of that bastard as soon as possible.

"Then you do it!" the Little Black Cat said.

Fanxin nodded and began fusing with the Diamond Beast. Soon after, he fused with one hundred Diamond Beast, and his explosive power instantly soared.

Having finished his business, Fanxin stopped wasting time and, wielding his twin swords, swiftly charged towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, did everything in his power to stop him.

However, this time, Doflamingo couldn't stop Fanxin because Fanxin's strength had increased. When the opponent extended its tentacles, Fanxin grabbed one and pulled hard, dragging the opponent towards him.

Then, without hesitation, he punched Doflamingo in the face, swelling his face.

"Damn it!" Doflamingo was furious. Ignoring the pain on his face, he immediately retaliated, blocking Fanxin's next attack.

He manipulated countless lines, binding Fanxin inside and out. He wanted to use this method to restrain Fanxin and deprive him of the ability to resist.

However, he failed.

Fanxin Xin pushed outwards with both hands, breaking the lines and instantly freeing himself from the restraints.

"Hmm, you broke my lines so easily?" Doflamingo's expression changed slightly. He was now next to Fanxin, and Fanxin broke free of his restraints, he would be in danger.

As expected, Fanxin gained his freedom, he immediately attacked his abdomen.

Fanxin kicked him away, striking him directly in the abdomen.

Caught off guard, Doflamingo was kicked away by Fanxin.

Not satisfied with his initial attack, Fanxin continued his relentless assault. Once he reached Doflamingo's side, he delivered a punch that slammed into the man's face.

His speed was so fast that Doflamingo couldn't react at all.

Fanxin's repeated attacks caused Doflamingo considerable trouble. In the end, Doflamingo chose to fly into the sky, preparing to engage Fanxin in aerial combat.

"Damn it, they know I'm no good in that area, yet they always pick on my weaknesses. It's infuriating!" Fanxin shouted, annoyed.

He cannot fly himself and can only rely on Flight Armor. However, if he puts on the Flight Armor, his combat ability will be limited.

"Hehe, you forgot, you still have the Dragon-Slaying Sword," the Little Black Cat said. "It might be able to help you."

The Dragon-Slaying Sword is a very spiritual sword; it can understand everything Fanxin says.

Moreover, it can fly freely in the air, completely allowing one to send their Fanxin into the high heavens.

"Oh, right, how could I have forgotten about that!" Fanxin nodded slightly upon hearing this. Then, he summoned the Dragon-Slaying Sword back and let it possess his body.

A moment later, a pair of wings sprouted from his back; they were derived from the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

"Let's go!" Fanxin shouted.

A moment later, the Dragon-Slaying Sword carried his body into the sky, reaching a height equal to that of Doflamingo.

Doflamingo was furious to see that even Fanxin could fly. This meant it would be much more difficult for him to kill the Fanxin.
