Gladius is the explosive Devil Fruit User, which can expand its own body to detonate or expand the inorganic objects it touches to explode.
Explosion Devil Fruit User When using the ability, the body of the area where the user wants to detonate will continue to expand, similar to the state of pouring air into a balloon. When it expands to the maximum, it can cause Great Explosion. Its principle is similar to that of a balloon bomb. The scale and power of the explosion are proportional to the strength of the user.
In addition to being able to detonate one's own body, users with abilities can also detonate objects they touch. They can continuously expand the material they want to detonate like a balloon. When it reaches a certain expansion limit, it will explode, producing a destructive force like a bomb. However, if the expansion process is attacked by a third party, If the use of the ability is interrupted, the expanding object will return to its original appearance from the expanded appearance without detonating. In addition, Devil Fruit User can also expand and detonate hard objects, and use the characteristics of the explosion to cause the objects to scatter in all directions to attack the target.
The trick Gladius is using now is called Rockfall Blast.
This is a move in which under the control of Gladius, the volume of the stone can continue to expand, and then produce Great Explosion when it hits the opponent.
This is similar to the Water Release·Bubble Technique mastered by Lin Mo Lin Mo.
His Bubble Technique can also produce Great Explosion when it comes into contact with the opponent.
Just in time, we can see which explosion is more powerful, Water Release: Bubble Technique or Rockfall Blast.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo raised his right hand, formed a circle with his fingers, put it against his mouth, and blew out several bubbles.
Then, under the strange gaze of everyone, the bubbles of Lin Mo collided with the explosive rocks of Gladius. There were only a few "bang bang bang" sounds. Whenever the bubbles collided with the rocks, they exploded immediately. The power of the explosion was even greater than that of a single bubble or stone.
A series of Great Explosion turned the whole Conference Room into a mess and chaos.
The air was filled with smoke from the explosion.
If it were an ordinary person, their vision would be blocked and their combat effectiveness would be reduced a lot.
But for everyone in this Conference Room, just this little smoke has no effect at all.
Monet flapped its wings, and countless inverted cone-shaped ice cubes flew out quickly.
Baby5 put a Heavy Machine Gun on his shoulders and fired towards the door.
Buffalo turned his body into a propeller, and then after turning his body into a propeller at high speed, he quickly threw the poisonous dart he was holding at the height of the ceiling of Conference Room into the smoke. He felt the position of Lin Mo and Kaku. Because the centrifugal force caused by high-speed rotation can add a lot of power to the thrown weapons, the power of the darts thrown by him was much greater than the power normally thrown.
As for Gladius, he stood with Doflamingo and did not launch an attack immediately.
The attacks of Monet, baby5 and Buffalo flew into the direction of Lin Mo and Kaku in the thick fog almost at the same time.
However, their attacks are nothing to Lin Mo and Kaku.
There was just a chaotic sound of 'ping bells and bangs'. After the smoke from the previous explosion dissipated, all the attacks launched by the baby5 trio had been cracked by Lin Mo and Kaku.
At the feet of Lin Mo and Kaku, there were shattered ice shards and bullet remains.
And Buffalo's poison darts were all inserted into the wall next to it.
"Young Master, give us another chance." Monet flapped her wings. In an instant, every feather on her wings turned into a blade made of circular fan-shaped ice and snow. She held a large ice chisel in each hand, and then quickly flew towards Lin Mo.
The moment she approached Lin Mo, she was about to attack Lin Mo with her wings that were as sharp as a blade and her big ice chisel weapon.
Lin Mo stepped on Flash Step, appeared behind Monet at a faster speed, raised the knife in Third Generation Demon Cutter's hand, and with a 'click', easily cut off one of Monet's wings.
The moment he cut off Monet's wings, Gladius also appeared behind Lin Mo, opening his hands to hug Lin Mo, preparing to use Black Feather Arm Cannon's move to turn himself into Explosive at close range and blow up Lin Mo to death.
However, the moment he was about to 'hug' Lin Mo, Kaku suddenly jumped over quickly, stabbed Demon Spirit Short Sword in his hands with the tip of the sword downward, and stabbed Gladius's hand.
"Go to hell!" Baby5 saw Kaku coming, and hit Kaku with his Heavy Machine Gun again.
Lin Mo turned to look at baby5 and said Conqueror's Haki, stunning her.
As for the shot fired by baby5, before Lin Mo even made a move, Kaku used Tempest Kick to cut it into four pieces and fell to the ground.
Gladius reacted very quickly. The moment Demon Spirit Dual Swords was stabbed by Kaku, he quickly took a step back and successfully avoided this round of attacks from Kaku.
But when he saw baby5 suddenly falling down, he didn't even have time to react to what happened. He just glanced at baby5, and Kaku appeared in front of him again without anyone noticing, and stabbed him with another sword.
"Baby5? What's wrong with you?" Buffalo saw that baby5 suddenly fainted and was about to check on her condition. Lin Mo was too lazy to continue wasting time with them and spread Conqueror's Haki directly with him as the center.
In an instant, everyone in Castle, except Kaku, Enel, Doflamingo, Gladius, Leo and Kyros, immediately rolled their eyes and fell to the ground and fainted.
Chapter 416 Dressrosa: Lin Mo vs Doflamingo
With Lin Mo's current control over Conqueror's Haki, he can completely skip the people he doesn't want to have any effect on and bring down all the others.
Therefore, Enel and Kaku are not affected by Conqueror's Haki at all.
As for the others, except for Doflamingo, who was in a better state, the others who were still awake felt a strong sense of oppression, as if they were being pressed by a mountain and unable to move.
"Conqueror's Haki?" Doflamingo said with a serious face, "No wonder... boy, don't be too arrogant, you are not the only one here who can Conqueror's Haki!"
After speaking, Doflamingo directly released his Conqueror's Haki, and collided with Lin Mo's Conqueror's Haki.
At the moment when the two Conqueror's Haki collided, a powerful shock wave spread out in a 'swish', only a 'crackling' sound was heard, and countless cracks opened in the surrounding walls at the same time.
Lin Mo stared at Doflamingo indifferently, and immediately turned on the output of his Conqueror's Haki to the maximum.
Doflamingo frowned slightly, and also increased the output of Conqueror's Haki, but it only lasted a few seconds, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead.
The surrounding cracked walls exploded with a 'bang' sound, countless rubbles flew out in all directions, and most of the roof was cut off.
Rao G and Diamante, who were on the roof guarding Doldo, fainted on the roof as soon as Lin Mo used Conqueror's Haki. Even King Riku Doldo also fainted.
Then, due to the collision between Lin Mo and Doflamingo Conqueror's Haki, the entire roof collapsed, so Diamante, Rao G and Doldo fell together with the cracked roof.
Similarly, the huge impact caused by the collision of the two Conqueror's Hakis directly knocked everyone present except Lin Mo and Doflamingo away.
Especially those who had already fainted were even more injured.
Gladius vomited blood directly, but his consciousness remained awake. He was even able to pick up baby5 and Monet when he was knocked out.
As for Buffalo...Gladius was alone, so I didn't bother with them.
As for Kaku, although Lin Mo was not affected when Conqueror's Haki was released at first, the impact caused by the collision of Conqueror's Haki, Lin Mo had no way to control it. Kaku also realized this. Although he was well prepared, he was still affected, and his whole body was uncontrollably sent flying out like the others.
When Enel arrived at the floor where Lin Mo was, the roof was gone...
Lin Mo was still standing there without moving at all, but Doflamingo took a few steps back, his expression becoming extremely ugly.
When Gladius and others were knocked away, Doflamingo had already used his own ability to create a non-offensive net, which covered his family members and prevented them from falling directly to the ground far away.
As for Lin Mo, when he faced off against Doflamingo, the system's beep sounded in his mind as he expected.
'Didi! Fight against Shichibukai Doflamingo, the check-in progress will be +20%, and the current total progress is 50%.'
Because the previous progress task was also related to Doflamingo, it was not surprising to Lin Mo that this task did not reward him.
In this way, Dressrosa's mission is already halfway over.
We just let it go. Anyway, the purpose of Lin Mo coming here to fight Doflamingo has been achieved.
Doflamingo knows Conqueror's Haki, and Lin Mo actually knows it. However, judging from Doflamingo's reaction, this guy's Conqueror's Haki is not strong enough, at least compared to his current ninth-level Conqueror's Haki.
However, even if Conqueror's Haki is a little less powerful, Doflamingo is more powerful than that. After all, he is one of the very few people who has developed his Devil Fruit ability to the extreme.
Among the abilities of Devil Fruit, there is hidden a higher power of the Realm, named "Awakening". Only a few Devil Fruit User can open Realm of Awakening, and Awakening is often accompanied by powerful power.
Among them, the abilities and effects of "Paramecia", "Zoan" and "Logia" Awakening states are different.
Once Paramecia's ability becomes rare Awakening, it can have an impact on things "other than the ability user himself", and can make the surrounding things become part of his ability, making his ability more powerful, and the scope and effect of his use are also stronger.
Doflamingo is one of the very few people who will Devil Fruit Awakening.
His abilities of "String-String Fruit" and Awakening are "the ability to turn surrounding things into threads", which can turn the ground, houses, rocks, etc. into threads, and let a large number of threads like waves kill the opponent.
All in all, this is a very tricky ability.
And now, it is obvious that Lin Mo has completely annoyed Doflamingo.
Doflamingo directly used his ability to use silk threads to fly into the air, then stretched his palms back and sprayed dozens of nearly transparent thin threads from his palms, and then twisted these threads together to form a thick thread like hair.
"Boy, don't even think about leaving here today!" Doflamingo sneered and threw the thick wire pole he made directly at Lin Mo.
The power of his move Overheat is enough to cut the opponent's body in two, and even cut a tall building in half in an instant. The range of this move is extremely wide, and it can be easily reached even if it is several kilometers away. The disadvantage is that once this move is used, it is difficult to take it back.
Before Doflamingo's attack came down, Lin Mo stepped on Geppo to avoid the attack.
Then there was a loud bang, and the place where Lin Mo was previously was instantly smashed and cut open by Overheat. The entire Castle building instantly began to collapse from the middle. In just a few seconds, the Castle building became a ruin.
And those who were still in Castle were all injured by the falling gravel, because they were stunned by Conqueror's Haki of Lin Mo before. Those fainted people fell down with the collapsed building, and in the end most of them were covered by the gravel.
Although Tontatta's warrior Leo was also affected by Lin Mo's Haki, he was not immune to this attack from Doflamingo and fell down with the rubble of the building., he was even injured while avoiding the gravel, but it was also because of Doflamingo's action of destroying Castle that he found the Tontatta princess Mansherry who he had been looking for as the gravel fell!
"Princess!" Leo immediately stepped on the falling gravel, dragged his injured body, and quickly chased towards Mansherry.
Chapter 417 Dressrosa: Reinforcements are coming
On the other side, Kyros was carrying the fainted Rebecca on his back, also avoiding the attack of gravel, and ran towards Doldo, who was falling not very far away from him.
When he caught Doldo, he also discovered the existence of Leo, because when he was still Toy Soldier, he had been cooperating with the people of Tontatta, planning the plan to overthrow Doflamingo.
Therefore, he knows Leo,
"Leo?" Kyros shouted at Leo.
Leo hugged the falling Princess Mansherry. When he heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Kyros. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Kyros immediately said, "Get out of here first!"
Leo nodded and responded, "Okay."
Then, the two of them took the person they wanted to protect, and kept dodging and running outside amid the chaotic falling rubble.
Soon, the two of them arrived at an open space not far away that was not affected by the disaster.
As for Castle, it has almost collapsed.
Looking at the dead and injured people who were crushed in the rubble, Kyros was silent for a moment, gently placed Rebecca and Doldo on the ground, and said to Leo, "Please, help me take care of Rebecca and King Riku."
"Hey, who are you? Why should I listen to you?" Leo asked dissatisfied.
Kyros smiled and said, "I am Toy Soldier."
"Ah? You are..."
"Yes, I am." Kyros looked at the people in the ruins again and continued, "I can't watch them die like this."
"But can you save so many people by yourself?" Leo pointed at the two people opposing each other in mid-air, "The collapse of Castle has something to do with Doflamingo, although I don't know which one is fighting with Doflamingo Who is the person, but if you try to get involved again, it will be very dangerous. Let's take Princess Mansherry, Rebecca, and King Riku to a safe place first, and then the two of us will come back together to fight Doflamingo!"
"No, just leave it to me." Kyros looked at Lin Mo and said seriously, "That person, I know, he killed Celestial Dragons in Sabaody and was offered a reward of ten by the world government. A man with a bounty of hundreds of millions, so long after the Sabaody incident, he is still safe and sound, which shows how strong he is. If he is a friendly force to us, with his help, we should not have much problem defeating Doflamingo."
Leo frowned slightly and said, "But what if he is not our friendly army? What are you going to do? No, I don't worry about you alone."
While Leo was talking, his companions, two Tontatta people, suddenly ran out from the alley next to them.
"Leo, Weika and the others have rescued their companions and are coming this way now."
"Huh? Is that Princess Mansherry? That's great. Now that Her Highness the Princess has been rescued, let's go back quickly."
"You came just in time." Leo immediately stepped forward and handed Princess Mansherry he was holding to them. "You take the princess to a safe place first, and take Rebecca and King Riku over there with you."
The two people glanced at Rebecca and King Riku Doldo who were being carried by Kyros, and one of them asked strangely, "Who is that person with only one leg?"
Leo replied, "He is Toy Soldier."
The two people were surprised. "What? Is he Toy Soldier?"
Leo nodded and said, "Yes, now is the best chance to defeat Doflamingo. I will fight with him."
As he spoke, Leo looked at Kyros and continued, "Leave them two to my companions."
Kyros nodded and handed Rebecca and Doldo to Leo's companions with confidence.
Leo's companions looked at each other, said nothing more, and immediately left here with Princess Mansherry, Rebecca and Doldo.
Return to Lin Mo.
After avoiding Doflamingo's Overheat, Lin Mo used Third Generation Demon Cutter to slash directly at Doflamingo.
Countless Sword Aura mixed with Haki were pouring towards Doflamingo.
Doflamingo snorted coldly, and quickly created thin silk threads from his body, which were wound around and tightly knotted in mid-air, forming a Clone Doll exactly like himself, and then controlled Clone Doll to directly attack Lin Mo's move Divine Departure.
As for himself, he quickly dodged out of the range of Divine Departure's attack.
The moment he stopped, an extremely arrogant voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Ah ha ha ha ha, what Shichibukai, it's nothing more than that." Enel instantly appeared behind Doflamingo, raised his hand and saw a Lightning Strike with ten million volts, and suddenly struck Doflamingo's head.
Doflamingo slightly twisted it every day and reacted very quickly to avoid it.
Enel's Lightning Strike hit the ground with a 'bang', splitting a deep hole in the ground where the surrounding soil had turned black.
At the same time, Doflamingo's puppet clone failed to resist Divine Departure's attack and was chopped into pieces by Divine Departure almost instantly.
"Young Master, we are here to help you."
