As Doflamingo floated out, he raised his right hand in front of his chest, his fingers twitching slightly.
A few thin white lines were faintly visible in the sunlight.
Inside Doflamingo's body, these white lines are constantly pulling on his organs, keeping them in the correct position.
A moment later, a puff of white smoke rose from his chest, and his hands stopped moving.
The next second, he shot out and Luffy towards Luffy.
He waved his right hand as he approached Luffy.
" Ever White!"
Countless enormous white lines coiled around Luffy.
Gear Second!
" Gum-Gum... Jet Gatling!"
The fist, imbued with Armament Haki, slammed into the oncoming giant white line like Gatling.
Under Luffy's powerful Ryuo Haki attack, these giant white lines were scattered one by one.
But as soon as one white line was broken, another white line surrounded it, endlessly.
"Hmm hmm hmm..."
" Straw Hat Boy, I never expected you to have mastered the technique of making Haki flow and causing Internal Destruction!"
"How... enviable!"
Doflamingo's somber voice rang out.
As he said, he is indeed very jealous now, considering that he has not yet mastered the advanced techniques of Armament Haki.
Why did this Straw Hat Boy, get to master it? This greatly annoyed him!
But in the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on his face.
"But even if you master this technique, so what? You can certainly break through my defenses now, but the problem is..."
"Now that I've Awakening my Devil Fruit powers, everything around me is an aid. My strings are endless; I can have as many as I need!"
"Every time you break one up, a new one comes in, and that takes up very little of my energy!"
"In comparison, how much physical exertion did you expend? Hmm hmm hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Luffy also hardened. Even if Doflamingo hadn't mentioned it, he had already noticed the problem.
The high-intensity, rapid punching was indeed a considerable challenge to his stamina; he was already feeling a bit out of breath after just a short time.
With this in mind, Luffy's eyes narrowed, as if he had made a decision.
After throwing a punch, he used the recoil to send his body flying backward, landing on the ground and sliding a short distance.
"Looks like it'll take some effort to defeat you, Doflamingo!"
Luffy twisted his neck, and the bones cracked and popped.
"Although I feel I could knock you away even without that move, it would take a bit longer!"
"To save you time and effort, I'll show you something new!"
As Luffy raised his right hand, just as he was about to make a move, a huge roar came from afar.
The sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire Dressrosa!
Luffy, Doflamingo, and the rest of the crowd all turned to look in the direction of the sound. The next second, their faces all showed expressions of horror.
Suddenly, a small "sun" appeared in the sky, some distance away from them.
Even from a distance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression from the enormous red fireball.
Not long after, a powerful shockwave swept across Dressrosa, shattering countless buildings.
Countless pedestrians fled in panic, clutching their heads. The apocalyptic scene filled them with terror, and a sense of despair spread throughout Dressrosa.
At this moment, everyone in the Flower Field was also affected by the shockwave. They all put their hands in front of them to resist it, and a few of the weaker ones were even blown away a distance by the shockwave.
After the commotion subsided, everyone's expressions turned solemn.
"What... what is this?"
Usopp's face was filled with horror, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Um..."
"If I'm not mistaken, this must be the commotion caused by Xia Chen!" Sanji said calmly after a moment of contemplation.
"What surprised me, though... seems to be the first time Xia Chen has caused such a commotion. What... exactly happened over there?"
Diamante and the others on the other side were even more shocked, their mouths practically agape.
Sanji and his crew had at least seen Xia Chen in action quite often, and although there hadn't been any major incidents like this, they were still somewhat prepared and knew how powerful Xia Chen was.
But Diamante and his group were different; they had never even seen power of this level before.
Not to mention Xia Chen, even Kaido they invited had never seen him make a move.
Therefore, they were naturally terrified when they saw this cataclysmic power.
"How are Xia Chen the Sovereign and Kaido of the Beasts doing?" Pica asked in Earth Shaker after swallowing hard.
"Who knows! But this fireball... does the intelligence we've gathered indicate that Kaido would use this technique?" Diamante's expression turned grave.
" Kaido Azure Dragon Form breathes fire, but this fireball..."
"Hmm... We haven't gathered any relevant information yet!"
Upon hearing this, an idea immediately popped into their minds.
That means the fireball in front of us is very likely...
Xia Chen the Sovereign's moves!
If that's the case, then the target of this fireball is self-evident.
After a long time~
" Kaido... win?" Diamante asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
They were destined not to know the answer to this question, but they already had some guesses in their minds.
Their faces were incredibly grim at this moment, because judging from the power of this attack, their prepared backup plan...
They'll probably all be cannon fodder, barring any unforeseen circumstances!
Doflamingo's expression was equally grim as he looked at the fireball in the sky.
Having crossed paths with Kaido times, he was certain that this was definitely not one of Kaido's techniques.
Although he didn't know whether Kaido had been defeated by Xia Chen yet, he could only say that it was highly likely!
The aftershocks alone made him feel such intense pressure; if he had faced that attack head-on, he would have been 100% killed.
Even Kaido would probably...
In that instant, he shared the same thought as Diamante and the others: their prepared backup plans were likely to be wasted.
Kaido's defeat already meant that they had lost.
Once Xia Chen is free to act, he is definitely not someone they can withstand!
For a moment, Doflamingo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but the next second, his eyes became resolute.
Even if it means death, he'll still take a piece of flesh from the Straw Hat Pirates!
Thinking of this, Doflamingo looked at Luffy and Zoro and the others, then shouted:
"Tear up the agreement! Go and kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo charged towards Luffy first, followed by Diamante and the others who also shot out towards Zoro and his crew...
