Carlmand immediately interrupted Doflamingo, who was about to continue speaking.
He was the winner of the rock-paper-scissors game; if he didn't play today, he would have won for nothing.
His plan to raise his bounty by stepping on Doflamingo can't just die in the womb.
He would have tolerated it if it were Her Kazi interrupted him.
But you, a mere ordinary officer of the Blond Hair Pirates, don't even take me, Heavenly Yaksha, seriously? Isn't that going too far?
He's just using someone else's power to bully others, isn't he?
"Hmph hmph hmph hmph, hahahahaha."
"Would you like to see how I rose to the position of Shichibukai?"
After saying that, Doflamingo glanced sideways at Pica's position.
Pica is already lurking nearby, ready to rescue Trebol and the others at any moment.
"Haha, since you've put it that way, wouldn't it make me look like a coward if I didn't show off my skills?"
Carlmand leaped forward, landing directly in front of Doflamingo.
His sharp eyes were fixed on the other person, as if he were staring at prey.
The next second, an endless chill erupted from Carlmand's body; he could now control the temperature down to -140 degrees Celsius.
Putting everything else aside, the extremely low temperature alone would render the opponent incapable of fighting if they stood next to them for even a short while.
Carlmand felt that his development of the Devil Fruit was not going smoothly, and he was still far from reaching absolute zero.
I talked about this with Captain Kazu a while ago. Kazu's analysis was that the Heat-Heat Fruit can only reach a maximum temperature of 10,000 degrees, and the Chilly-Chilly Fruit should also have its limits.
It's estimated that this Devil Fruit wouldn't be able to withstand temperatures below -200 degrees Celsius, let alone absolute zero.
However, no matter what, this is terrifying enough. The surrounding environment is simply not a place for humans to stay. Once a protracted battle begins, the opponent's stamina will be consumed at an alarming rate in order to resist the cold.
Doflamingo felt the extremely low temperature, his brow furrowed, and he quickly expended more energy to maintain his body temperature.
I hope you can hold on a little longer.
A chill emanated from Carlmand. With a powerful push of his legs, he shot forward at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see.
Doflamingo was also taken aback; this guy emanating a chilling aura was incredibly fast.
" Overheat "
Doflamingo unleashed a whip-like thread from his palm, thrusting straight towards Carlmand.
Carlmand slightly dodged to the side, then grabbed the whip, and the ice spread rapidly along the whip towards Doflamingo's body.
" Bullet String."
Doflamingo decisively abandoned the thread whip, and with his left hand, he flicked out several thread ends in quick succession, as fast as bullets.
Carlmand neither dodged nor evaded, but covered his hands with Armament Haki and blocked the Bullet String with a few quick parries.
"Fancy and over-the-top."
Carlmand accelerated again, and in the next moment he was in front of Doflamingo, throwing a punch aimed at Doflamingo's head with Internal Destruction.
Doflamingo instinctively used his arm to shield his head.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Doflamingo was sent flying, crashing through countless houses along the way.
Kazu wasn't surprised at all that Carlmand could suppress Doflamingo.
Even Luffy, who had just learned Armament Haki and was at a beginner level in Gear Fourth, could defeat him.
Not to mention that both of his Haki are extremely advanced, and Carlmand physical skills have been trained by Kazu for two and a half years.
Doflamingo slowly sat up from the pile of trash, a somewhat incredulous look on his face.
"His fist was surprisingly heavy."
Realizing that his left forearm was fractured, he quickly used thread to connect it to the bone, forcibly fixing the fractured area back together.
"As expected of a high-ranking member of the Blond Hair Pirates, I underestimated you."
However, the scales of victory are always on my side.
Carlmand wondered if he had just knocked the man's brain out.
Our side clearly has the upper hand, so why is the other side starting to declare victory?
"What a dishonest child."
"Looks like he needs more of my teaching."
Carlmand charged at Doflamingo again, his dark right hand clenched into a fist, preparing to deliver another painful blow.
"Hahaha, don't be too happy yet."
" Devil Fruit can evolve to an even higher level, an Awakening state that only a very few people can achieve."
" Awakening Devil Fruit User can influence their surroundings."
"From this moment on, my white lines will become endless!"
Starting from beneath Doflamingo's feet, everything around him—the ground, buildings, and all other objects—transformed into an ocean of threads, numbering in the billions.
