"Is this your Devil Fruit ability?"

Like most people, Pica assumed this was Sasuke's Devil Fruit ability.

"Watch me smash it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pica swung the giant stone man's fist again, hammering it toward Sasuke's Susanoo.

"You don't know your limits!"

Sasuke sneered, then controlled Susanoo's fist and swung it hard to meet Pica's.

Boom!

Susanoo's fist collided with the stone giant's fist, producing an earth-shaking roar.

With the two giants at its center, the entire ground instantly cracked in every direction.

Countless officers and ordinary soldiers of the Donquixote Family were blown away by the powerful shock wave or fell into the fissures in the ground, shock written across every face.

A battle of this level was already beyond what lower-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers like them could take part in! Even a little of the battle's aftermath was enough to severely injure them!

"My god! How is this possible?!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Lord Pica actually can't defeat that purple giant!"

"It can actually go toe-to-toe with Lord Pica!"

Not far away, many civilians watched what was happening, not only because this battle might decide their fate, but also because Doflamingo was a great king in their eyes, and they did not want the Donquixote Family to be defeated.

The showdown at the Royal Palace gripped the civilians' hearts.

"What?"

Seeing that his punch had actually been blocked, anger appeared in Pica's eyes. He clenched his other, free hand into a fist and hurled another punch.

Sasuke's Susanoo caught it in one palm.

"Is that all the strength you have? Too weak!"

With that, Sasuke drove Susanoo forward, pushing the stone giant backward with a single exertion of force.

But that was not the end. Sasuke unleashed powerful chakra, conjured a sword, and charged straight forward to cut off one of the stone giant's legs.

Already unsteady on its feet, the stone giant could no longer maintain its balance after losing a leg. It toppled backward, crushing many nearby buildings.

"Lord Pica!!"

"Pica!!"

Seeing Pica knocked down, many ordinary soldiers, civilians, and Donquixote Family officers cried out in alarm.

"Hahahahaha! See that? This is the power of the Uchiha!"

Covering his bleeding eye, Sasuke let out wild laughter.

Meanwhile, Esdeath and Enel had also achieved tremendous results in their battles.

Under the attacks of Esdeath, Sasuke, and Enel, Doflamingo's subordinates suffered heavy casualties.

The Donquixote Family's forces were being suppressed on every front!

Seeing his subordinates suffer such heavy casualties, Doflamingo's brows knitted together, and he said in an icy voice:

"Every one of your subordinates is quite something! You've kept yourselves well hidden, White-haired Satoru Gojo!"

"It's not that we've kept ourselves hidden. No one has ever been able to force us to use our full strength!"

"You certainly have the nerve to say that!"

Though he still refused to admit it aloud, Doflamingo had long since understood that Satoru Gojo truly had the right to be so arrogant!

Although he had obtained some intelligence on the Jujutsu Pirates, only by facing them in person could he understand how truly terrifying they were.

The fighting strength the Jujutsu Pirates were displaying now far exceeded his expectations!

Pica's stone giant was being suppressed by Sasuke Uchiha's purple giant, and no one else could interfere in their battle.

Diamante was also being kept occupied by Esdeath-no, she was toying with him. While fighting him, Esdeath casually struck out and took the lives of countless ordinary soldiers.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you can find it next time.

Only Trebol's battle was going somewhat better. He could exchange blows with Enel, but he would not be able to hold out much longer either!

If he wanted to turn the situation around, he would have to finish his own battle quickly!

Doflamingo steadied his breathing, a cold glint flashing in his eyes behind his sunglasses. His figure flickered as he lunged at Satoru Gojo with a kick.

"Athlete!"

Facing Doflamingo's kick, Satoru Gojo neither dodged nor backed away. Just as the kick was about to reach him, he vanished in an instant and appeared at Doflamingo's side, then threw a backhand punch wrapped in violent cursed energy.

Seeing Satoru Gojo suddenly appear beside him, Doflamingo felt a sense of danger shoot straight to the top of his head. Without hesitation, he immediately used Armament Haki to defend himself.

Boom!

But even with Armament Haki, Doflamingo was still sent flying by the blow!

"Such tremendous strength! Have you been holding back this whole time?"

Getting back to his feet, Doflamingo roared at Satoru Gojo.

Satoru Gojo said without restraint:

"Before? Hahaha! What makes you so sure I'm not holding back now?"

Hearing Satoru Gojo's words, Doflamingo's expression grew even darker. From their earlier exchanges, he had already determined that Satoru Gojo's strength truly lived up to his reputation. Both his speed and his strength surpassed Doflamingo's!

What made him even harder to deal with was that Doflamingo's attacks could not do any real damage to Satoru Gojo.

Even his incomparably sharp threads could not pierce Satoru Gojo's defensive barrier!

"My subordinates are all fighting hard. As their captain, I'd better produce some results too!"

As his words fell, Satoru Gojo's figure suddenly flickered, and he appeared directly above Doflamingo, kicking downward.

Cursed energy gathered around his foot, compressed to the utmost. This blow was powerful enough to split the ground in two.

"This is bad!"

Sensing the power of Satoru Gojo's kick through Observation Haki, Doflamingo's expression changed abruptly, and he raised his hand and swept it out without hesitation.

"Spider Web Wall!"

Countless threads instantly interwove into a huge web above Doflamingo.

But beneath Satoru Gojo's kick, the entire Spider Web Wall warped the instant it was touched. Before that tremendous force, it snapped and collapsed at once, barely delaying Satoru Gojo at all.

Whoosh!

The instant the Spider Web Wall broke, Doflamingo twisted aside with all his strength to evade. The sound of Satoru Gojo's kick tearing through the air exploded beside his ear.

Boom!

The kick landed on the earth, instantly splitting the ground outward in both directions from the point of impact and creating a fissure over a hundred meters long. The ground shook violently!

Using the shock wave produced by Satoru Gojo's kick, Doflamingo put some distance between them. The instant he landed, he shouted in a low voice:

"Super Strike Whip!"

Doflamingo crossed his hands and swept them out sharply, sending two extremely thick Super Strike Whips at Satoru Gojo. But Satoru Gojo formed his right hand into a blade, wrapped it in cursed energy, and casually swept it left and right.

Slash! Slash!

The two Super Strike Whips, each capable of easily piercing through a cluster of buildings, were cut into four pieces by Satoru Gojo's casual hand chops and fell to the ground.

Looking at Doflamingo, Satoru Gojo raised his right index finger slightly.

The next instant!

A small black sphere flickering with red light formed at Satoru Gojo's fingertip. Energy continually gathered into the black sphere, radiating a heart-pounding power.

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"

As soon as his calm words fell, a shock wave suddenly erupted from Satoru Gojo's fingertip, shooting straight toward Doflamingo.

"Multiple Spider's Nest!"

Doflamingo spread his hands and unleashed Multiple Spider's Nest, forming multiple spiderwebs in front of himself and coating them with Armament Haki.

But the spiderwebs collapsed the instant they touched Red, and Red's attack struck Doflamingo directly.

Doflamingo was sent flying, crashing straight into a building of the Royal Palace, his fate unknown.
