Moke Sneered at the Sight

Wherever this strike passed, everything was mercilessly severed, as fragile as paper.

Even the earth, which had been assimilated into threads by Doflamingo, was powerless against this slash, easily sliced in two as if cutting tofu. The power of this slash was simply astonishing.

This slash was on par with the one Hawkeye used when they clashed! However, this slash was not merely a matter of swordsmanship. It was a slash that incorporated the power of Quake-Quake, making it even more powerful!

When this strike swept across the earth, not only was the ground cleaved open, but a massive crack seemed to appear in the very fabric of the world. The power of this attack was absolutely beyond imagination.

The first to be hit was Rao G. At this moment, he had temporarily recovered to his peak strength. However, when he faced this sword head-on, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from his forehead.

He gasped, a chill running down his spine. He knew the power of that attack; it was destined to be fatal! But now, he had nowhere to retreat. He could either fight to the death, perhaps with a sliver of hope, or sit and wait to die, certain to perish.

At this critical juncture, Rao G. did not hesitate for a moment. Various coping strategies flashed through his mind, and he finally decisively chose the most direct and effective method - crossing his arms in front of his chest and concentrating all his strength on his arms.

In an instant, a powerful Armament Haki erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, tightly binding around his arms and forming an indestructible shield. This shield emitted a deep black light, as if it were forged from steel, giving people a feeling of being impenetrable.

Given Lao G's current strength, this defensive technique might be able to barely withstand the attacks of an ordinary Shichibukai. After all, his strength is among the best of the strong, and this defensive technique is one of his signature moves.

However, the opponent he was about to face was no ordinary one. It was a being far more terrifying than the one he had faced during the Summit War, whose swordsmanship and strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

This sword strike, like a thunderbolt, carried unparalleled power and speed, slashing straight towards Rao G's arms. The moment the sword tip collided with the shield, a deafening roar erupted, as if the entire world was about to be torn apart by the immense impact.

The terrifying shockwave, like a surging wave, traveled directly through the shield to Rao G's arms. He felt a sharp pain in his arms, as if they were about to be shattered, and almost lost all feeling.

However, this was just the beginning. Before Rao G could recover from the shock of that attack, Shusui struck down again with Inazuma speed. This time, its target was no longer Rao G's arms, but his chest!

This sword strike was as fast as Inazuma and as swift as a meteor. Its speed was beyond imagination, and its power was like a tidal wave, leaving no room for evasion. Rao G didn't even have a moment to react; he could only stare dumbfounded as the deadly sword struck him like Zhou Yu.

Faced with such a fierce and unparalleled offensive, Rao G's arms finally gave way and were severed with a chilling snapping sound. The sound of the snapping was like bones being broken, crisp and piercing, sending shivers down one's spine.

However, the merciless blade did not pause for a moment. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it continued to strike Rao G's chest with overwhelming force!

With a muffled "thud," a deep, gaping wound was cleaved open in Rao G's chest, exposing the bone. Blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere. The wound looked exceptionally gruesome and terrifying, as if it had been torn apart by an extremely powerful force, making anyone who saw it tremble with fear.

Immediately afterwards, Rao G was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, completely powerless. His body traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground like a meteorite, raising a cloud of dust.

At that very moment, Moke found himself in a completely different scene. He Sandai Kitetsu tightly in his hand, the blade fully drawn, the two swords gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight, as if proclaiming endless killing intent to his enemies.

Facing Doflamingo's relentless and fierce attacks, Moke showed no fear. His movements were swift and precise, adjusting his stance in the blink of an eye. He gripped his twin swords tightly, his arm muscles taut, displaying immense power. Every subtle movement revealed his focus and determination, as if he had gathered all the strength in his body for this moment.

"Two-Sword Style - Rakshasa Annihilation!" Moke suddenly roared, his voice booming through the air like thunder. This roar was not only a declaration of war against Doflamingo, but also a release of his inner power.

With Moke's furious roar, the suppressed Holy Sword and Ghost Aura emanating from his body erupted like a volcano. These powerful energies intertwined and merged, perfectly integrating with his own aura. Instantly, a powerful energy wave swept out from Moke's center, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this force.

Amidst the surge of this energy, a Nether Rakshasa, also wielding twin blades, suddenly appeared behind Moke. This Nether Rakshasa was several meters tall, its body massive and imposing, radiating a terrifying aura that suffocated the senses. Its appearance seemed to cause the entire space to tremble, as if it were Demon God rising from the depths of hell, carrying endless killing intent and destructive power.

Finally, Moke swung his twin swords sharply to the sides, and the Nether Rakshasa behind him followed suit, swinging its twin swords to the sides as well. This swing was as powerful as a thunderbolt, carrying unparalleled force, and it blocked Doflamingo's attack.

Moreover, the power of this attack went far beyond that; the Shockwave it generated actually shattered Doflamingo's attack, and the aftershocks spread in all directions, causing the surrounding palace walls to tremble precariously.

Just as Doflamingo was stunned, Moke's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

The next second, when he reappeared, he was already on the other side of the palace wall, while Doflamingo was leaning against the wall, standing on one leg, his hands waving constantly, as if trying to dissipate the impact of the terrifying attack just now.

Clearly, this guy was very cunning. He was well aware of his disadvantages, so he chose an extremely secluded place to hide, while using Observation Haki to engage in a unique battle with Moke. To avoid being detected by Moke, he also changed his hiding place from time to time. After all, for someone with a missing leg, a head-on confrontation was definitely no match for Moke.

However, Doflamingo's strategy was indeed quite brilliant. He cleverly concealed himself and fully exploited Moke's weakness of not Observation Haki in the battle, which was undoubtedly the wisest choice. It must be admitted that Doflamingo is indeed a cunning and shrewd fellow, and his insight is exceptionally sharp, managing to see through Moke's biggest weakness at a glance during the fierce battle between Moke and Pica, Diamante, Lao G, and others.

If it were before, Doflamingo had only focused on avoiding Moke's attacks, then given his cunning and treacherous fighting style, Moke would probably have been helpless against him for a short time. Doflamingo's fighting style has always been known for its unpredictability and elusiveness; he is adept at using various methods to conceal his whereabouts, making him difficult for his enemies to predict.

However, the situation has now changed dramatically. Ever since Viola shared her abilities with Moke, all of Doflamingo's hiding techniques have become useless. No matter how careful he is or how well he conceals his position, it's all transparent to Moke.

Doflamingo stared wide-eyed at Moke, his pupils contracting in utter shock, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. His mind was filled with doubt and confusion, for he had absolute confidence in his judgment. He couldn't understand why Moke had so easily seen through his disguise. Was Viola's ability truly that powerful?

Doflamingo's mind raced through various possible explanations, but none completely convinced him. He began to re-examine his enemy, trying to find a weakness in Moke. However, Moke remained calm and composed, seemingly aware of Doflamingo's every move. Based on his observations and experience, this guy definitely hadn't Awakening Observation Haki yet. However, reality cruelly shattered his perception— Moke had found his location so easily!

Doflamingo's mind raced, trying to analyze the reason. Sound? No, that couldn't be. Every time he made a sound, he would immediately change his position to ensure that the other party could not track him by sound. Moreover, after using the power of his Devil Fruit Awakening, everything around him, including the wall behind him, had turned into threads. Finding him in this vast expanse of white threads was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Eustass Kid is one of the Worst Generation. He is a "Supernova" of the same generation as Luffy and possesses Conqueror's Haki just like Luffy. Two years ago, his performance was even more impressive than Luffy's, but after two years, his performance has been disappointing. Now, he has been completely trampled under Luffy's feet.

When he first appeared, Eustass Kid occupied the center position, with Luffy and Trafalgar Law standing on either side. At that time, his bounty was higher than Luffy's, making him the number one among the "Supernova." Logically, his development should have been smooth sailing, and his growth was much faster than Luffy's. However, things did not go so smoothly. As a supporting character, Eustass Kid's development process was too difficult.

Comparing Luffy's and Eustass Kid's experiences, you'll find that the former had a smooth journey, while the latter encountered setbacks at every turn.

After the Summit War the New World Saga, Luffy trained under Rayleigh, while Eustass Kid began honing his strength. He set his sights on the most powerful Eustass Kid the Four Emperors, starting with Red-Haired Shanks, but failed in his challenge and lost an arm. After losing his arm, Eustass Kid challenged Four Emperors Mom, but he didn't even get to see her. After injuring one of her Sweet Commander, Eustass Kid was blasted out of Big Mom's territory.

When Eustass Kid challenged two of the "Four Emperors," Luffy had just finished his training. Judging from the fact that Eustass Kid was able to injure one of the Sweet Commander, he was much stronger than Luffy at that time. However, after Luffy gained experience and leveled up, Eustass Kid's strength gradually became equal to Luffy's, and eventually Kidd was even surpassed by Luffy.

Two years after the Punk Hazard arc, Luffy finished his training and began to hone his skills. The opponents on Fish-Man Island were no Luffy enough for him; Luffy clearly needed stronger opponents to level up. However, Luffy's first challenge was not with one of the "Four Emperors," but with Caesar. Caesar's strength was naturally inferior to Luffy's, Luffy easily defeated him.

Luffy is known for his indomitable spirit and extraordinary growth potential. No matter how strong the enemy, he can unleash unimaginable power and successfully defeat his opponents. As time goes by, his strength and skills continue to grow, giving him an advantage in his battle against Eustass Kid.

Eustass Kid's unique abilities: Eustass Kid possesses unique abilities such as electromagnetic powers and the ability to manipulate metal. These abilities make him extremely powerful in battle. However, his abilities may be limited in certain situations, such as when facing opponents with special abilities or techniques, he may find himself in a difficult position. Luffy possesses a flexible and versatile fighting style and superb adaptability, which allows him to flexibly respond to Eustass Kid's attacks in his battle against Eustass Kid.

While Luffy was challenging Caesar, Eustass Kid could only target Big Mom's pirate crew, sinking two of their ships to vent his anger at being driven out of Big Mom's territory.

During the Dressrosa arc, while Luffy was challenging Doflamingo, Shichibukai, Eustass Kid was preparing to challenge Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by Apoo, and Kid Pirates were defeated by Kaido and imprisoned.

Meanwhile, Luffy began to slowly challenge the "Four Emperors." After defeating Doflamingo, Luffy entered Big Mom's territory. At that time, Luffy's strength was not very strong; he couldn't even withstand a single attack from Big Mom. However, Luffy was much luckier than Eustass Kid. Although Luffy was captured by Big Mom, he did not lose any arms or legs, nor was he seriously injured. On the other hand, Eustass Kid not only lost an arm but also had countless scars all over his body.

After escaping from Big Mom's territory in the Wano Country arc, Luffy began to challenge the next "Four Emperors," Kaido, but he was instantly defeated by Kaido. Afterwards, he was imprisoned in the same cell as Eustass Kid. The two "Supernova" met again after parting ways in the Sabaody Archipelago, and this meeting gradually widened the gap in strength between them.

Both Luffy and Eustass Kid were imprisoned and worked together, but their experiences were completely different. Eustass Kid could only eat and work every day, but Luffy met Uncle Hyogoro there. While working, he also trained hard and eventually mastered a higher level of Armament Haki, "Ryuo," making him far stronger than Eustass Kid.

After escaping from prison, Eustass Kid and Luffy joined forces and became a pirate alliance. When they met Big Mom and Kaido again, Eustass Kid took the lead and went to talk to the two "Four Emperors". However, the two "Four Emperors" completely ignored Eustass Kid. They only had eyes for Luffy. At this moment, Eustass Kid had taken over Luffy's spotlight.

It's easy to see that Eustass Kid's fate as a supporting character is extremely tragic. Two years ago, he was clearly stronger than Luffy, but he encountered setbacks everywhere and nothing went smoothly for him. Not only did no one teach him how to become stronger, but he also lost limbs after being captured. In contrast, Luffy not only had a smooth journey, but he also had mentors who taught him how to become stronger in every battle. This shows just how powerful the protagonist's halo is.

However, Moke did it, which filled Doflamingo with unprecedented fear and unease.

"16 Holy Bullets - God Thread!" Doflamingo roared through gritted teeth, deciding to unleash his trump card.

This move is also one of his signature techniques after his Devil Fruit Ability was fully developed Awakening, and it is the strongest of all his Awakening techniques. It can be said that this is Doflamingo's ultimate move in his Awakening state, and its power is extremely terrifying.

As his words fell, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and 16 Billow White, wrapped in high-density Armament Haki, surged out of the ground at an astonishing speed like a group of ferocious beasts, heading straight for Moke.

With Inazuma speed, the twin swords were sheathed, and then Moke suddenly threw a punch. With a series of booming sounds, his Quake-Quake ability was activated instantly. In an instant, the air seemed to be torn apart, and countless cracks appeared. These cracks intertwined, forming an invisible wall that blocked all of Doflamingo's attacks.

At the same time, Moke activated his Absorb-Absorb Fruit ability again without hesitation. When the Spatial Rift appeared, his hands seemed to possess magic, absorbing all the spatial energy he could touch. As this powerful force gathered, Moke's legs bent slightly, and then, like an arrow released from a bow, he shot into the sky like a rocket, leaping straight into the high sky.

Upon reaching high altitude, Moke swiftly executed a beautiful flip in mid-air, then plummeted headfirst towards Doflamingo on the ground like a meteorite. At the moment of impact, his fist erupted like a cannonball, a punch imbued with boundless power that shattered the space above Doflamingo.

Upon seeing this, Doflamingo was horrified. He immediately felt an extremely terrifying suction force pulling him violently towards the Black Hole created by the Space Shatter. The Black Hole seemed to be a bottomless abyss, radiating a chilling dark power. Doflamingo's body completely lost control, being mercilessly dragged along by this powerful suction force.

Doflamingo's face suddenly turned extremely pale, as if he had witnessed the end of the world. His eyes widened, staring intently at the Black Hole that was constantly devouring everything, his heart filled with fear and despair.

However, just as he was about to be swallowed by the Black Hole, he suddenly noticed that the silken ground beneath his feet began to surge wildly towards the Black Hole, as if drawn by a powerful force. Seeing this, Doflamingo did not hesitate to follow this force towards the Black Hole, and finally managed to escape the terrifying suction at the last second.

He was panting heavily, still shaken, watching the Black Hole recede into the distance, secretly relieved that he had escaped death. However, before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt a tremendous force strike him from above.

Doflamingo instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late. He felt as if his head had slammed into an incredibly hard wall with a dull thud. The impact made his head buzz, stars flashed before his eyes, and he was completely disoriented.

"How could this be?" Doflamingo groaned in pain, completely bewildered as to why such a wall had suddenly appeared. He struggled to lift his head and looked around, only to be astonished to find himself trapped inside a cube.

The cube was surrounded by solid walls with no exit, like a closed cage. The space that had just been blasted open miraculously returned to normal after he was trapped inside the cube, as if nothing had happened.

Doflamingo was filled with doubt and fear. He didn't know how he had gotten trapped here, nor how to escape his predicament. Just then, he saw Moke standing outside the cube, looking at him expressionlessly.

The scene before them was no longer the white, shimmering threads, but the ruins of a palace, as if it had survived a devastating war, a scene of utter devastation. Clearly, Doflamingo, trapped inside the cube, could no longer exert any influence on anything outside the cube with the powerful Devil Fruit Awakening.

This is Moke's latest technique— the Spatial Cage! Its power is extremely strong; once you are imprisoned in this cage, you will have no chance of escape unless you can break through space. However, this technique is not without its flaws. Its biggest drawback is that it requires a huge amount of spatial power, making it impossible to use under normal circumstances.

However, even after the space was blasted apart, Moke was still able to barely execute this move by using the fragments of space. That's why the powerful punch he just threw became the prelude to this move.

To truly manipulate space at will, Moke will likely need to wait until he fully Absorb-Absorb Fruit the power of the Awakening and transforms his spatial abilities into a permanent one. At that point, he should be able to enter the second stage, and won't be far from fully mastering this powerful ability.
