Awakening Conqueror's Haki

"So, you've finally looked at me again."

Doflamingo walked with a swagger that acknowledged no one, his pink feather coat fluttering behind him as threads continuously emerged from his fingers.

He looked at Wilton with a cruel smile.

Not far away.

Wilton rose from the rubble, gripping his dumbbells, head bowed, his will constantly being battered by Doflamingo's overbearing presence.

How many times had this happened now?

It felt like the third time.

The first was Dragon, the second was Ace, and the third was Doflamingo. They all wanted to crush his will.

What was so great about Conqueror's Haki?

Forcing him to submit and bow his head was impossible.

Veins bulged on his forehead as the rage in Wilton's chest grew. When it reached its limit, his mind suddenly exploded.

In an instant.

Wilton's aura drastically changed, his thunderous fury shooting straight into the sky. It was as if a primordial beast within him had broken free from its cage, unleashing its first roar upon the world.

"What are you barking about?"

He raised his head.

Wilton's eyes widened slightly, a fierce, violent, and supremely dominant will, like a hurricane, spread out, forcefully and savagely colliding with Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki.

In that second.

The sky began to darken, and lightning flashed. A torrent of black and red lightning seemed to freeze in mid-air. Doflamingo stopped in his tracks, his expression moved.

How could this be?

This is...

"I asked what you were barking about."

Wilton strode towards Doflamingo, his face contorted with furious madness.

The continuous provocations and stimuli from Dragon, Ace, and Doflamingo, combined with the burning rage and ambition in his heart, had awakened his Conqueror's Haki.

Arrogant and defiant, looking down on everyone, flourishing if you follow and perishing if you resist. Even though it had just awakened and wasn't as powerful as Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki, he didn't back down in terms of aura and will. On the contrary, he was incredibly fierce.

At the same time, there was a sense of superiority and confidence as a transmigrator.

With the advantage of knowing the plot and possessing a Golden Finger, he looked down on the people of the pirate world like a god, viewing them with a degree of disdain and contempt from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if he was superior.

Perhaps Wilton himself hadn't noticed this psychological state.

Doflamingo's expression was grim. This was truly an unexpected surprise. He hadn't expected the other party to possess the qualities of a king.

And it had awakened under his provocation.

Little did he know that Doflamingo's provocation was merely the last straw. The previous impacts of Conqueror's Haki from Dragon and Ace had already caused Wilton's Conqueror's Haki to partially awaken.

It just needed that little bit more.

It needed this third stimulus from Doflamingo.

The previous two stimuli had only served to solidify the ambition in Wilton's heart.

As a transmigrator, he would never be subservient to others, let alone surrender to them. A common man's anger could spill blood within five steps.

He had been suppressed for too long in his previous life.

"So what if you've awakened Conqueror's Haki?"

Doflamingo sneered, disappearing in a flash and reappearing before Wilton. He condensed a pillar of thread in his right hand, its tip covered in Armament Haki as he lunged at Wilton.

Sparks flew.

Wilton gripped his dumbbells and swung one, imbued with the eleven tons of weight from the Ton-Ton Fruit.

"Foot Thread."

Doflamingo's toes were covered in transparent threads, equivalent to a kicking version of Five-Colored String. Covered in Armament Haki, it attacked rapidly, its speed causing Wilton's eyes to narrow.

Today, he would make Doflamingo experience a mutually destructive, suicidal fighting style. The stubborn fear the defiant, and the suicidal fear the stubborn.

Iron Body bulged, Armament Haki covered his body.

Wilton abandoned dodging, opening his defenses wide to let Doflamingo kick him in the chest. Simultaneously, he clenched his right dumbbell, veins bulging, channeling all his strength to smash it towards Doflamingo's head.

In that second, Doflamingo's eyes beneath his sunglasses snapped shut. He truly hadn't expected Wilton to be so berserk.

To use such a suicidal fighting style.

The attack could no longer be retracted.

He was truly caught off guard.

With no other choice, Doflamingo could only raise his hands to block his head. But as the heavy, dark green dumbbell descended, Doflamingo's entire face turned green.

An unimaginable force.

He couldn't resist at all.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment as the Dumbbell, like a force of nature, bent Doflamingo's right arm and smashed heavily into his face.

The ground for hundreds of meters around rapidly cracked open.

Doflamingo grunted and was sent flying, explosions erupting wherever he went. Wilton, on his side, also crashed through building after building, finally collapsing amidst the ruins with blood trickling from his mouth.

However, Tekkai and Armament Haki were quite effective, and Wilton quickly got back up, spitting out the blood in his mouth.

His core was completely unharmed.

His eyes blazed with ferocity, his savage and domineering will spreading out recklessly and crudely.

In the ruins far away.

Doflamingo stood up, his face contorted in a grimace. Several threads extended from his left hand, connecting to his right arm as he healed his injuries.

His head was still a bit dizzy.

He was even seeing stars.

He coughed and spat out the blood in his mouth.

What was this guy's deal? He had never seen such a fearless fighting style, and why were his defense and strength so immense?

"Explosive Double Axes."

The ground beneath his feet exploded.

Wilton sprang up and shot forward, accelerating rapidly in mid-air like a missile before descending. The Ton-Ton Fruit and the Explosive Double Axes were a perfect match.

It was a shame his weight was only eleven tons. If it were a thousand or ten thousand tons, he would have crushed Doflamingo today.

"You have successfully angered me."

"Today, I'll show you what true power is."

Watching Wilton descend from the sky, Doflamingo's face turned sinister. His pink feather coat fluttered behind him as he raised his right foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

He couldn't be bothered to waste any more time.

In an instant.

Centered on Doflamingo, the ground and surrounding buildings rapidly turned into threads, which then surged to form two massive thread walls that shot skyward, crossing to block his path.

"Shield White Line."

BAM--

Wilton slammed heavily into the two thread walls, as if hitting a solid bronze fortress. They only bent downwards a short distance before refusing to budge any further.

Afterimages flashed.

Wilton compressed Armament Haki into his feet and then unleashed it in an instant, forming a technique similar to Soru to disappear quickly. When he reappeared, he was already beside Doflamingo, his hands raised high, the Dumbbell gathering all his strength.

Back then, when he learned his talent for other Rokushiki techniques wasn't great, he started looking for other solutions.

After all, a living person couldn't be suffocated by urine.

And Armament Haki, known as a universal tool, was undoubtedly the best choice. The key was that his talent for Tekkai and Haki was extraordinary.

Even so, mastering this Haki technique consumed a lot of his time and energy.

The downside was that his Haki was depleted very quickly.

Facing Wilton's attack, Doflamingo seemed to have anticipated it. He crossed his hands and used the awakened ability of the String-String Fruit.

"Double Dumbbell Impact."

"You're asking for death, Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart: Feather Strike: Thread."

Two dumbbell-shaped Haki shockwaves, six hundred meters in size, slashed towards Doflamingo like the opening of heaven and earth. Simultaneously, two streams of thread shot out from the ground on Wilton's left and right.

The ends of the threads were wrapped in Armament Haki.

There was no doubt they could easily pierce steel.

At the same time, a white thread pillar rose in front of Doflamingo, its speed so fast it was instantaneous.

CLANG CLANG CLANG--

With a series of ear-piercing sparks, Wilton was struck by the thread pillars, while the massive dumbbell slash waves forcefully destroyed the thread pillars.
