The two sprang apart after their first exchange.
Werther had a feeling Donquixote Doflamingo was the strongest opponent he had ever faced, and he couldn't help getting excited.
How long had it been since he'd felt this? That rush of standing on the edge of life and death, his blood boiling in his veins.
Werther pushed Lightning Mode to its limit. Blue-silver Lightning surged from his body, and his hair floated upward as he poured out energy.
With Intent Blood in hand and Lightning Mode active, Werther fought with the presence of a blood-soaked demon.
Sensing it, Donquixote Doflamingo unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
Werther felt a strange force of will bear down on him, but it put him under little pressure. That's Conqueror's Haki? That's it?
He found it strange. Conqueror's Haki had been so famous in the original story, yet experiencing it himself was underwhelming.
What Werther didn't know was that Donquixote Doflamingo had released his Conqueror's Haki because Werther's presence was so overwhelming.
Werther had no intention of standing there any longer. He used Flash and shot straight at Donquixote Doflamingo.
At full speed, Werther was nothing but a blue blur to Pica and the others. Only Donquixote Doflamingo could keep up with him.
Werther slashed at Donquixote Doflamingo's neck, but the blow failed to land. Clang! His sword struck a barrier of strings.
The strings hadn't stopped it completely. The instant they met, Werther felt his blade sever several strands.
Donquixote Doflamingo saw that the rest of the strings before him were about to give way.
Five Color Strings!
The sudden attack didn't rattle Werther. He blocked it with his other sword.
The two fought across the Island at full strength. Silver-blue Sword Aura and razor-sharp strings clashed again and again, while stray attacks tore huge scars
