"That Haki..."

Feeling the overwhelming Haki emanating from above, Xi Yan stroked his chin and said, "This must be Luffy's Haki."

"The other one is Doflamingo's?"

I never expected this guy to have the potential to be a king; it really surprised me.

That makes sense, given his achievements in the New World; it's not surprising that Doflamingo possesses Conqueror's Haki.

Then, he noticed Sabo not far away.

"Sabo?"

What are you doing here?

"Xi Yan?"

Sabo glanced at Xi Yan in surprise, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Where's Smoker?"

"Probably about the same as you."

"I see."

With just one sentence, Sabo understood what had happened in Xi Yan.

It seems the information about that Marine Admiral and Admiral candidate has already been leaked.

He then said, "That Haki must belong to Luffy."

"That's right, one of them is indeed Luffy's Haki," Xi Yan said. "The other one is most likely Doflamingo."

Among the enemies, the only one qualified to possess such Haki is Doflamingo; there is no one else.

Sabo paused for a moment upon hearing this, then a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Although he always believed that his younger brother could defeat Doflamingo, he was still somewhat worried about him.

"You're here because..."

"Klar said there might be some trouble with Luffy," Sabo explained, "So I decided to come over and check it out."

Are you one too?

"No, I'm here to make sure the Healing Devil Fruit User is safe and sound," Xi Yan said.

He believed Luffy could defeat Doflamingo, so from the beginning, he had no intention of interfering in Luffy's battle.

"Devil Fruit User?"

Sabo was taken aback. There were actually Devil Fruit User here?

If that's the case, then this person really can't fall into the hands of the Donquixote Family, otherwise all the previous efforts will have been in vain.

"Yes," Xi Yan nodded, "So I must ensure her safety."

"Let's go then."

"Profound!"

This time, the two didn't waste any more words and quickly ran away into the distance.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo and Luffy, positioned on Highland, continued to clash with each other's powerful Conqueror's Haki.

However, Doflamingo didn't seem too surprised that Luffy possessed Conqueror's Haki, since Luffy had used Conqueror's Haki at Navy Headquarters two years prior.

He just hadn't expected that the other party could use Haki to this extent in just two years.

'Straw Hat Leader...'

With difficulty, Law glanced up at Luffy's Luffy figure, thinking to himself, 'Possessing this level of Haki... no wonder he can recruit Blood-Eyed Ninja as a comrade!'

This time, he might really have to rely on the Straw Hat to kill Doflamingo.

Trebol watched the scene unfold with a cold sweat on his face, because he really hadn't expected this kid to possess Conqueror's Haki.

However, as he recalled what Doflamingo had experienced, Trebol gradually calmed down.

"Hahaha~"

"Straw Hat, you can't beat Doflamingo."

"What you've experienced is on a completely different level!"

Whether it's from past experiences or from hatred towards the world, it's all the same!

The Straw Hat is nowhere near as good as Doflamingo!

Then Trebol shouted, "Doflamingo is not like you. His birth gave birth to his madness, and his destiny can summon wrath!"

"This man is simply an indestructible demon!"

"Having transformed into ultimate evil, I am destined to destroy everything!"

"Straw Hat! Law!"

"Doflamingo is the true king chosen by God!"

The Straw Hat is just someone who luckily obtained Conqueror's Haki; he's completely different from Doflamingo, who is a born ultimate Haki user!

He's nowhere near as good as Doflamingo!

"So what?!" Luffy roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he used his leg again to forcefully push Doflamingo back.

Then, seizing the opportunity, Luffy charged forward with a powerful Whip Kick.

"Clang!"

Doflamingo raised his arm, which was wrapped in Haki, to block Luffy's attack, and his expression darkened.

That Straw Hat is really troublesome.

A shadow crossed Doflamingo's eyes as he glanced at Luffy, who had leaped into the air.

"Take this!"

"Rubber Pistol!"

Once in the air, Luffy raised his hand and threw a punch.

The attack, imbued with Haki, easily shattered the ground.

Unfortunately, it didn't hit Doflamingo himself.

Just before Luffy's attack was about to strike, Doflamingo had already used the String-String Fruit to teleport.

Luffy didn't show any surprise, and quickly chased after Doflamingo after he moved.

And so, the two engaged in a fierce battle in the open space, each strike creating a terrifying shockwave.

In just a few breaths, the Rooftop area was completely destroyed by the two men.

"Mingo!"

Luffy roared, and his body began to spin rapidly, instantly transforming into a small tornado.

Then, Luffy, Luffy wildly, quickly approached Doflamingo and, before he could react, delivered a powerful kick to Doflamingo's stomach.

"Bump!"

The heavy kick caused Doflamingo to cough up blood again, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

However, due to his strong will, Doflamingo was not knocked away by Luffy and remained standing.

Upon seeing this, Trebol grinned again.

Their king is invincible, so he has nothing to worry about.

Luffy frowned upon hearing the sound, then delivered a powerful punch to Doflamingo's face, causing him to cough up blood once again.

However, this time Doflamingo used Haki to protect his face, so he did not suffer any serious injuries.

Luffy, Luffy frowned again, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued his attack, causing Doflamingo to cough up blood repeatedly. However, each time Doflamingo managed to steady himself, as if... he wouldn't allow himself to fall down again.

"Hahaha~"

"Doflamingo is the elite of evil, so he will never fall again," Trebol grinned.

As a king, Doflamingo's arrogance was unmatched.

This madness will destroy everything!

Hahaha~

Although Luffy didn't know what was going on with Doflamingo, he still chose to continue his attack.

"Rubber Eagle Rifle!"

Luffy, who had leaped into the air, unleashed his fists, imbued with Haki, without any mercy.

But to his surprise, Doflamingo was not hit by his attack. Instead, he moved quickly in the air and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye!

"Athlete!"

Doflamingo, now in mid-air, delivered a powerful Whip Kick to Luffy.

Upon seeing this, Luffy's expression changed, and he quickly wrapped his hands in Haki to withstand Doflamingo's attack.

The next moment...

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

The two collided violently, generating another terrifying shockwave. At the same time, the black and red Inazuma unique to the clash of Conqueror's Haki began to spread around them.

"Boom!!"

"Straw Hat, you're in the way!" Doflamingo said coldly.

Do you really think he got beaten up earlier because he couldn't beat this kid?

Are you kidding me!

If it weren't for his desire to focus on healing his injuries, this kid wouldn't have been able to touch him at all!

Doflamingo then increased the force of his kick, sending Luffy flying.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

After smashing through a wall, Luffy began to slide rapidly across the ground, eventually bursting out from there.

Seeing this, Trebol sneered, then activated his Devil Fruit ability, forcefully pulling Luffy back from Luffy he had already flown away.

"Sticky Chain!"

"Whoosh~"

After pulling Luffy back, Trebol sneered again and activated his Devil Fruit ability, creating a large patch of special slime around Luffy, forcibly imprisoning Luffy there.

"What the hell is this?!"

Luffy's expression immediately changed upon realizing he couldn't break free. How could these sticky things be trapping him?!

"Hahaha~"

"Fool, stop struggling, you can't break free," Trebol sneered. "You think you can defeat Doflamingo? You're dreaming!"

Their king is a man destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world; how could he possibly be defeated by this greenhorn?

Seeing Luffy struggling, Trebol shook his head, then turned to Law and said, "You can keep struggling here. I'll kill you all in order."

"First and foremost, there's that traitor Luo!"

Looking at the panting brat, a chilling killing intent flashed in Trebol's eyes.

The Donquixote Family gave him everything, and yet he betrayed them... That brat deserves to die!!

Luo didn't speak, but just stared coldly at Trebol.

Trebol didn't seem to care, turning to look at Doflamingo and saying, "Let's begin, Doflamingo."

"I've trapped Straw Hat, now's the time to crush Law's head!"

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo calmly glanced at Luffy, then walked towards Law without saying a word, looking like a puppet manipulated by Trebol.

"Hello!"

Luffy's expression changed, and he shouted, "Stop! Mingo!"

"If you want to fight, fight me. What are you doing going to Tra-man?"

"He can't move an inch now!"

What kind of skill is it to bully someone who can't fight back?

Unfortunately, Doflamingo ignored Luffy and continued walking towards Law.

"I already said we have to do things in order," Trebol said, glancing at Luffy. "What's your rush?"

"Just give it to me..."

"It's so noisy!"

Luffy angrily interrupted Trebol, saying, "You sticky, disgusting guy!"

"It should be sticky and gooey, you brat!"

Trebol was so angry with Luffy on his face. What does "sticky and gooey" mean?

He's not shit!

He's a slime bastard!

Unfortunately, this Luffy, since he couldn't tell Luffy difference either.

Doflamingo, however, paid no attention to the sounds behind him. He continued to stare intently into Law's eyes, as if hoping that Law would reveal some emotion he desired.

Unfortunately, Luo's expression remained unchanged.

"You bastard, get out of my way!"

Luffy roared angrily and raised his fist to attack Trebol, creating several large holes in Trebol's sticky body with a few punches.

Hearing the sound behind him, Doflamingo instinctively stopped in his tracks; he was genuinely worried that Trebol might have encountered an accident.

"You brat!"

Trebol lowered his head, looking at Luffy with a mocking expression, and said, "You can't possibly defeat me~"

"Hahaha~"

"What happened?"

Luffy looked at Trebol in disbelief and said, "Aren't you Logia?"

"For Logia users, Haki can hit their main body."

Why didn't my ability hit the opponent's main body?

Why?

At this moment Luffy was filled with doubt; the scene before him was clearly beyond his comprehension.

"Bahahahaha~" Trebol was very satisfied with Luffy's reaction and said, "So... Straw Hat, is my ability Logia?"

As they were talking, Trebol used his ability to repair the hole that Luffy had just made.

He then continued, "In any case, that kind of move is useless against me."

"Idiot Rubber Man ~"

"Hahahaha~"

Armament Haki could indeed hit his physical body, but the problem is... his physical body wasn't within the range of the attack!

Hahaha~

As long as he hides his true form well, his opponent cannot defeat him!

"This..."

Luffy frowned. So what's wrong with this guy?

"Straw Hat Leader," Luo said slowly, "Dealing with this kind of paper tiger that's all show and no substance is really pointless."

This statement is clearly pointed.

Upon hearing Luo's words, Trebol's face immediately darkened.

"You actually called me a paper tiger?"

In Luo's eyes, this highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family was nothing more than a paper tiger?

Are you kidding me?!

He's second only to Doflamingo in strength!

But Luo ignored Trebol's reaction and continued, "The biggest reason I don't want to sit in that heart position is that I don't want people to think I'm like these idiots."

"These... these idiots?" Trebol looked at Luo in disbelief and said, "They actually call our Top Executive idiots?"

Is this kid still mocking them even now that he's reached this point?

Isn't this kid afraid I'll make him wish he were dead?

Has he always been this brave?

Looking at Luo, who was staring intently at him, Trebol felt a little unreal. Had this kid really failed to grasp reality?
