Mutual Destruction Tactics

"Damn it."

Doflamingo, who had been certain of victory, felt his pupils constrict once more. The incoming attack was overwhelming, devastating everything in its path. Was this guy trying to get himself killed?

Or was he aiming for a mutual destruction?

To not even dodge, just to create an opportunity for an exchange of blows?

This kind of "injure the enemy by eight hundred, damage yourself by one thousand" approach was utterly foolish.

A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Doflamingo's chest caved in slightly, and his entire body turned into a streak of light, shooting out once again.

In place.

Blood burst from Wilton's body. Some threads had actually breached his tough defense, leaving several deep, bone-revealing wounds.

Fortunately, none of them were fatal.

But they looked terrifying, as if he'd been turned into a hedgehog.

The passive skill, Self-Sacrifice, was triggered. Wilton felt himself fill with power, his eyes shining brilliantly. The pain in his body drove him to madness.

His blood boiled, and his body temperature soared.

With the enhancement of Conqueror's Haki, his intent for mutual destruction and his death-defying aura reached their peak.

Boom!

The sky churned with wind and clouds, and streaks of black and red lightning descended. Wilton looked like a king who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his intangible aura suffocating.

After being severely wounded and on the verge of death.

He could feel the power of Tekkai, Armament Haki, and his Devil Fruit increasing. With the Golden Finger as his safety net, today he would show Doflamingo what a real bloody battle was.

Without all the fancy tricks.

It was all about who couldn't take it anymore, who would retreat first.

"Explosive Double Axes."

The ground within a thirty-meter radius shattered. Wilton transformed into a missile once more, smashing precisely towards Doflamingo.

This time, it was enhanced by twelve tons.

His tonnage had increased again.

And his passive skill had already been triggered.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Doflamingo's expression turned ugly. He crawled out of the rubble, coughing blood. His left hand, covered in threads, was repairing his internal organs. Seeing Wilton smashing down from the sky again, his mind moved, and the ground began to shake in all directions.

"Giant Wave White Lines."

Waves of white threads intertwined, all covered in Armament Haki, forming giant waves that crashed towards Wilton, one after another.

A deafening roar compressed the air.

The first few waves of white lines exploded. Wilton descended, unstoppable, until he was blocked by the last wave.

Doflamingo's heart was filled with dread.

What was going on?

Why had this guy's strength increased? Logically, he shouldn't have such attack power after sustaining such heavy injuries.

A piercing sound rang out.

Cracks began to appear in the giant wave of white threads before him, further shattering Doflamingo's composure. What a joke.

At this moment.

He began to treat Wilton with seriousness.

The opponent's mutual destruction tactics, along with his inexplicably surging strength, put considerable pressure on him.

"I admit I underestimated you before."

"But this is where it ends."

As the last wave of white lines shattered, Wilton brought down his Dumbbell heavily. But Doflamingo looked calm.

In his sight.

Sixteen giant waves of white threads, wrapped in high-density Armament Haki, rose from the ground and shot towards Wilton at extreme speed.

And a wall of white threads appeared before Doflamingo.

"16 Sacred Bullets: God's Punishment."

The sound of sharp objects piercing flesh rang out. Wilton's figure was forcibly stopped, impaled like a hedgehog and suspended in the air, chilled to the bone.

Hot, scalding blood dripped from the sixteen sharp threads.

The white thread wall before Doflamingo receded. Doflamingo gasped for air, blood constantly flowing from his nose and mouth. Threads spread from his left hand, still healing his internal injuries.

"To force me to this point, a Marine Vice Admiral... besides that old hag Tsuru, you're the second."

He stepped forward.

Seeing Wilton, who looked like a skewer covered in blood, Doflamingo stood above with a cold, merciless expression.

He wasn't surprised by this outcome.

Although the other party had put him under a lot of psychological pressure just now, he ultimately wasn't trash like Crocodile.

This Marine had picked the wrong person.

"What are you still barking about?"

Suddenly.

Wilton, bleeding profusely, raised his head, his eyes shining brighter than ever. He grinned, revealing a row of blood-red teeth.

That fierce look gave Doflamingo an ominous premonition.

Recovery activated.

A green light flashed on Wilton's body. His previously dying aura suddenly recovered somewhat, and he quickly broke free from the threads piercing his body, causing flesh to separate from bone.

But Wilton acted as if he couldn't feel pain, only madness and a willingness to die.

"Dumbbell Impact."

With immense power.

His entire right arm seemed to swell by a size. Gripping the dark blue dumbbell, he smashed it towards Doflamingo as if splitting the heavens.

This sudden attack sent a chill down Doflamingo's spine, who had thought victory was assured.

Crack—

A bone-cracking sound that made one's scalp tingle rang out. Doflamingo raised his hand to block in front of him at the first moment, but the dumbbell pressed down with irresistible force.

The immense power fractured his arm, and with unabated momentum, it smashed heavily onto his head. Doflamingo's eyes rolled back on the spot, his entire consciousness a blur.

A thousand-meter radius exploded, and the earth cracked, forming small hills.

Doflamingo was sent flying, tearing up the ground. Explosions continued wherever he went, finally leaving a wide, clear path before he lay at the end of the ruins, spitting blood incessantly.

Buzz buzz buzz.

A oppressive cracking sound came from overhead. Wilton pressed his advantage, using Explosive Double Axes to descend. Doflamingo forcefully shook his head, dispelling the dullness in his mind. Blood streaming from his head, he looked up with a contorted expression, his right hand hanging limply.

He had been tricked by a moment of carelessness.

Damn it.

Why could that guy still stand, and why hadn't his attack power weakened at all, when he was clearly heavily injured and on the verge of death?

"Damn it, die for me."

"Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart: Feather Strike: Thread."

Doflamingo screamed hysterically.

The ground around him assimilated, and thousands of threads imbued with Armament Haki rose up, forming the shape of a flamingo's wings, intending to pierce Wilton with a thousand arrows.

Ignoring this attack.

Wilton roared and descended rapidly. Hot blood splattered along his path. Even Tekkai and Armament Haki couldn't block all of the sharp attacks.

But as long as they couldn't kill him instantly, he could fight endlessly.

"Explosive Double Axes."

At the last moment.

Several threads pierced Wilton's body. At the same time, the two dumbbells smashed Doflamingo's left hand, turning it upside down, and then smashed heavily onto Doflamingo's head with unstoppable force.

The ground continued to crack.

Doflamingo's head seemed to be flattened. He sank deep into the ground, falling continuously. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he spat out teeth, nearly losing consciousness.

Rolling dust spread out.

When all the commotion subsided, in the shattered, massive pit, Wilton, like a bloodied man, floated three feet off the ground, pierced through.

Several vital spots were hit.

Anyone else would have been dead for sure.

The pair of heavy, oversized dumbbells also lay in the blood-soaked soil.

Not far away, Doflamingo lay sprawled on the ground, his face covered in blood, looking equally dangerous.

"Doffy."

"Lord Wilton."

Outside the battlefield.

Diamante, Sadi, and the others who had been in a standoff had their expressions change drastically. They hadn't expected this battle to be so fierce and bloody.

Some Pirates holding telescopes were greatly shocked.

The Marine Tough Guy was completely disregarding his own life
