"Thread Armor?" Seeing Doflamingo develop his ability like this—using threads to make clothes and coating them with Haki to withstand his chilling attacks—Kuzan instantly got an idea.
"Not a bad idea. It's mine now!" Through Observation Haki, he sensed that Gray's Flying Wheel attacks posed some threat. Ignoring them would be troublesome.
"Ice Crystal Armor!" Kuzan compressed the ice around himself, and a full suit of armor instantly took shape over his body.
The solid ice crystals, combined with Armament Haki, were more than enough to withstand the force of Gray's Flying Wheels. They wouldn't break through the armor anytime soon.
Gray and Doflamingo: ...
Gray glanced at Doflamingo, at a loss for words.
"I knew you were good at developing your abilities, but I never expected you to be this good. The enemy just learned your technique on the spot. Are you sure you're not messing with me?" If Gray hadn't known Doflamingo's situation, he would've wanted to smack him with a Flying Wheel.
"Magnetic Field Rotation: Ten Thousand Horsepower!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Three Flying Wheels struck Kuzan in quick succession.
Screeeee~
A harsh grinding sound rang out, sparks flying everywhere. Gray's attacks couldn't break through Kuzan's powerful Haki defenses at all.
As his Haki was drained, the Ice Crystal Armor, which was as hard as his skin, conducted the Haki effectively.
Gray: ...
This was a real headache!
The fight had turned into a contest of Haki endurance.
But Gray's Haki reserves and strength were no match for an old-timer like Kuzan.
"Not bad." Kuzan patted his armor and offered a casual word of praise. It dealt 800 points of damage to Gray and 1,000 to Doflamingo.
"Right! Let's start round two!" Since he couldn't quickly defeat his opponents with his abilities alone, Kuzan decided to rely on
