The Reactions of All Sides, the Power of One Gear Fourth Punch
On the screen, excited comments immediately appeared: {Waaaaah, I never expected that Straw Hat Luffy, who usually looks so dull, could speak so eloquently! It's so exciting!}
Wow, Straw Hat Luffy! Even though he's just a pirate, he's loyal and righteous—truly admirable!
{Four... Gear Fourth?! What will that be like? I'm so... so excited!}
{Hurry up, hurry up, God from Beyond the Domain, I want to see Straw Hat Luffy's Gear Fourth form.}

East Blue, Goa Kingdom, Foosha Village, Makino's Bar.
"That's so well said! Luffy, you truly are a man who came from our village, so loyal and righteous!"
"That's right, let me drink to Luffy, the pride of our village!"
"Cheers."
"Cheers."
"..."
"..."
"These three generations of family truly deserve to be called family; they really are quite inspiring in some ways!" Facing the excited cheers and clinking glasses of the surrounding villagers, the village chief, Slap, showed no displeasure this time. Instead, he sipped his drink and remarked meaningfully.
Mount Colubo, Bandit's House.
"Waaaaah, Luffy's really grown up!" Dadan exclaimed proudly, tears streaming down her face. "He speaks so eloquently, it's truly touching!"
Grand Line, Alabasta Royal Palace, inside the Royal Palace.
"Igaram, prepare some Beli for me, I want to send a comment later." Cobra, seated on his throne, looked down at Igaram, the Chief Guard, and said.
"Huh?! Okay." Igaram paused for a moment, then nodded, turned around, and walked towards the national treasury.
"Your Majesty, forgive my intrusion, but what are you planning to issue?" Pell bowed to Cobra beneath the throne and asked.
"It's time to reveal the truth about Alabasta to the world!" Cobra said. "The heroes like Luffy shouldn't be kept hidden."
Inside a dormitory room.
"Go! Luffy, use your new move to send that Doflamingo flying!" Vivi clenched her fist and said firmly, "Rescue Dressrosa from that devil's clutches! Just like you rescued us back then."
The Grand Line, White Soil Island.
"Truly... truly worthy of being Mr. Long's son! Just hearing those words fills one with strength; they're so cool!"
"That's right! Go for it, Mr. Dragon's son! Use your new move to send that Doflamingo flying!"
"Smash Doflamingo, Straw Hat Luffy!"
"..."
"..."
Hearing the cheers of his subordinates for his son, a hint of pride appeared on Dragon's face as he said with satisfaction, "Go! Luffy!"
On a ship in a certain sea area Grand Line.
"Go for it, Luffy!" Sabo said with equal satisfaction. "You can do it!"
The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford, inside a certain prison cell.
"Luffy's really grown up!" Ace said proudly. "Looks like I can finally relax!"
The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar of Shakky.
"Truly, as expected of someone from the D. Clan, they really do resemble each other! Roger," Rayleigh remarked.
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Hehehe, Doflamingo may be weak, but he does say things that suit my taste." Kaido of his drink and chuckled. "You can't survive on this sea with just hot blood, Straw Hat Luffy."
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Lucy... Lucy, thank you." Rebecca said, tears streaming down her face.
"Fufu, Rebecca, you're getting emotional too soon! The Straw Hat Luffy's new technique might not be enough to beat me." Doflamingo glanced back at her and King Riku, saying, "Besides, even if the Straw Hat Luffy can save you in the future, he can't save you now."
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"Please! Straw Hat Master!" Luo said expectantly.
The New World, Red Force.
"Gear Fourth? That's really something to look forward to, Luffy!" Shanks said curiously.
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Hey! Why are you all staring at me like that?!" Luffy asked, somewhat puzzled, noticing Nami, Sanji, and the others staring at him.
"Sometimes, I really want to see what's going on in your head!" Usopp asked curiously. "You're clearly an idiot, but sometimes the things you say are incredibly exciting."
"Moreover, it can unconsciously create a sense of following," Nami added.
"Perhaps this is what they call 'great wisdom appearing as foolishness'!" Robin laughed.
"A wise fool? Robin, are you praising me?! Hehe, that's so embarrassing!" Luffy scratched his head shyly and said, "But right now I'm more concerned about Gear Fourth. I wonder if it's the same thing I'm thinking about?!"
At this moment, the camera suddenly shifted from Luffy and Doflamingo's group to Law and Cavendish's group.
Instead of following Robin and the others down the stairs created by Bartolomeo, they remained in the Flower Field area.
Law's severed arm had been repaired by Mansherry and Leo using their respective abilities, and he was lying quietly on the grass, chatting idly with Cavendish.
"... After seeing the underground Trading Port, I understood!" Cavendish said. "Even if Doflamingo is defeated, this war won't be over. It will cause waves all over the world, and you will be at the eye of the storm."
"Yes! That suits me perfectly," Luo said calmly.
Next, the scene shifts to Zoro and the others, where he and Kin'emon are running towards the shrinking Birdcage.
It turns out that Zoro and his crew were preparing to stop the Birdcage's advance. He firmly believed that it was better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for death.
He refused to believe that their combined strength was no match for Doflamingo's alone.
On his journey, he encountered Franky and the Tontatta who had destroyed the factory.
After learning of Zoro and his crew's plan, Franky and his group joined in, using the fact that the factory was made of Seastone to push it against the Birdcage with all their might.
Soon, more people joined in. Some were residents of Dressrosa, while others were warriors from the Corrida Colosseum, including Hajrudin and others who had fainted after fighting the Donquixote Family executives.
It turns out that they were temporarily healed by Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta Tribe using the Heal-Heal Fruit.
Just then, the navy, led by Admiral Fujitora, suddenly appeared behind them.
However, they didn't come to arrest them; they came to help them stop the Birdcage.
For a time, the entire city of Dressrosa was filled with people united in pushing the Birdcage.
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, inside the Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Is this your justice, Fujitora?" Sengoku said with a complicated expression.
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in front of him rang. "What is it?!" Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi and asked.
"Fleet Admiral... we've found that guy named Fujitora!" an excited voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. "He's agreed to join our Navy, but he has one condition."
"Oh! What is it?!"
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Fufu, the Heal-Heal Fruit is really useful. Luckily, it's still in my possession," Doflamingo said smugly.
Just then, Jora suddenly rushed in, panting heavily, and said, "Young... Young Master, something terrible has happened! Mansherry is... missing!"
"What?!"
The New World, Green Bit, Underground.
"Leo... Leo, did you see that! My... my abilities have finally helped so many great humans!" Mansherry looked at Leo beside her with a pleading expression and said.
"Hmm! As expected of Mansherry, she's truly amazing!" Leo exclaimed.
"Then... can you treat me to dinner tonight?!" Mansherry asked expectantly.
"Hey! Why? Can't you go eat by yourself?!" Leo asked, puzzled.
"You? Go to hell!" Mansherry kicked him in dissatisfaction and shouted.
Meanwhile, in the video footage, the camera finally returned to Luffy and Doflamingo.
Upon hearing Luffy's words, Doflamingo looked at him in astonishment and exclaimed, "Gear Fourth?!"
"That's right, to defeat you, I need to become stronger." Luffy said, his arm radiating Armament Haki. "Even if I use Gear Second or Gear Third, I still won't be able to defeat you, so I must reach a higher level."
As he spoke, he took off his oversized slippers and then blew air into his arm, which was covered in Armament Haki. His arm immediately inflated like a balloon, "Muscle Balloon."
The next second, the energy spread throughout his body.
A large amount of steam began to rise around his body, enveloping him, and a strange mark appeared on his chest.
The next second, a massive Luffy, covered in Armament Haki and surrounded by steam like Nio clouds, appeared in front of Doflamingo Luffy.
"Gear Fourth: Boundman!" Luffy said while jumping around.
On the screen, a barrage of disappointed comments immediately appeared: {Hey! Are you kidding me?! What's so special about Straw Hat Luffy's massive body?!}
{These Gear Fourth look so silly! They don't seem like proper moves at all!}
{Is this Straw Hat Luffy Gear Fourth just for laughs?! Are they trying to make Doflamingo laugh to death?!}
{ Straw Hat Luffy's technique is all show and no substance! His rubbery resilience makes it impossible for him to stand properly, how can he possibly defeat Doflamingo?!}

Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
"That figure is..." the Five Elders said with slight surprise. "I never expected that Straw Hat Luffy could develop the Gum-Gum Fruit to this extent. It seems we should prioritize eliminating him!"
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"As expected, I shouldn't have had any expectations for the Straw Hat Captain." Law said helplessly, rubbing his head.
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Wow! Luffy, your Gear Fourth is so cool!" Chopper exclaimed, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Luffy.
"What's so cool about that!" Usopp rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's nowhere near as cool as Gear Second or Gear Third."
As he spoke, he glanced at Luffy, who was unusually deep in thought, and asked, "You kid, you're not thinking of a new move like this, are you?"
"Of course not." Luffy shook his head and said, "However, I think this is cooler than the one I initially thought of, so I've decided to make my new move this way."
"..."
In the video, Doflamingo also showed considerable disdain for Luffy Gear Fourth, constantly mocking him with words.
Luffy ignored his taunts and said, "For the past two years, I've been fighting monsters that are as big as monstrosities."
As he spoke, an image of a large group of enormous animals flashed through his mind. "To subdue them, such a massive body and great elasticity are necessary."
"Elasticity? What good is that?!" Doflamingo scoffed.
The next second, he knew what the elasticity Luffy mentioned was for.
Luffy clenched his fist, repeatedly pulling it inwards towards his arm, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Shut up, or I'll beat you so badly you can't fight back."
With that, he stomped his feet on the ground and charged towards Doflamingo like an arrow released from a bow.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Doflamingo.
Doflamingo had no time to dodge; Luffy's fist came hurtling towards him. "Gum-Gum King Kong Gun!"
"Bang!"
Doflamingo could only barely raise his arm, applying Armament Haki to block Luffy's punch.
However, the immense force still sent him flying.
Like a kite with a broken string, he flew rapidly downwards from the New King's Plateau, gliding across the ground for dozens of meters until he crashed into a house and came to a stop.
"Wow!"
A mouthful of blood gushed from Doflamingo's mouth.
On the screen, a barrage of shocked comments immediately appeared: {Holy crap! This... this power is insane! I take back my previous disdain for Straw Hat Luffy Gear Fourth, his Gear Fourth is just too awesome!}
{Really?! He punched that far! Straw Hat Luffy Gear Fourth is terrifying!}
Wow, that was a great punch! Straw Hat Luffy, you're so cool!
{Awesome! Straw Hat Luffy, give Doflamingo a good beating!}
