The golden shock wave smashed through the arms Doflamingo held in front of him.
All ten of his fingers twisted and snapped, blood spurting wildly from his fingertips.
"Impossible!"
Doflamingo screamed in agony.
"My Armament Haki, how could it..."
He desperately summoned the strength remaining in his body, his hands flailing wildly.
Countless white threads surged up from the ruins below, weaving into a thick shield in an attempt to stop the advancing golden light.
"It's useless!"
Lorne roared.
He drove his right fist forward with a sudden burst of force, and the golden pillar of light swelled again.
True damage ignored all defenses.

"This definitely isn't Haki!"
Doflamingo reeled inwardly, his body trembling violently.

The savage impact tore through his flesh, shaking every bone in his body until they groaned.
"My awakened threads, my God Thread-none of them worked!"
Doflamingo completely lost his composure.
"You scum! Go to hell!"
Lorne threw back his head and roared.
The golden shock wave drove straight through, slamming squarely into Doflamingo's chest.

The deafening thud echoed across the entire island.
The tremendous impact punched through Doflamingo's body in an instant.
Crack! Crack!
A rapid series of snapping bones rang out.
Doflamingo's breastbone caved in completely, and rib after rib broke.
The broken bones stabbed viciously into his internal organs.
"Gah!"
Doflamingo opened his mouth
