Luffy stood across from Doflamingo.
"Tch…" Luffy wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You're tough."
Doflamingo laughed, veins bulging across his face."Fufufu… coming from you, that's almost flattering."
Strings tightened around the plaza, slicing buildings apart like paper.
Civilians screamed in the distance.
Luffy inhaled deeply.
Doflamingo's smile faded. "…What are you doing?"
Luffy crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Guess I gotta stop holding back."
He bit down hard on his arm and air began to rushed in.
His arm swelled unnaturally, veins popping as steam poured from his body.
The ground cracked beneath his feet.
"GEAR… FOURTH!"
BOOM💥
A shockwave blasted outward,smoke exploded into the sky.
When it cleared. Luffy stood massive and coiled, body inflated, muscles layered with jet-black Armament Haki. Steam rolled off him like a engine (or a hot dumplin).
Luffy exhaled.
"BOUNDMAN."
Doflamingo's eyes widened.
"…So this is it."
Luffy vanished.
BLAST💨
The ground detonated where he stood.
Doflamingo barely raised his arms.
SMASH💥
Luffy slammed into him like a cannonball, sending Doflamingo crashing through multiple buildings.
Stone and string exploded everywhere.
Luffy rebounded mid-air, bouncing off nothing.
"GUM-GUM"
He twisted his torso and pulled his fist back like a compressed spring.
"KONG GUN!"
BOOM💥💥
The entire island shook as the punch hit Doflamingo.
Doflamingo flew backward, skidding across the ground, coughing blood as he tore through the streets.
He stopped himself with strings stabbing into the ground.
Doflamingo smiled.
"Fufufu… incredible."
Strings erupted from every direction.
"PARASITE."
The strings lunged toward Luffy.
Luffy bounced. Left, right, down, up.
⬅️➡️⬆️⬇️↘️↙️
The strings missed him by a few inches.
Luffy ricocheted off the air itself.
Doflamingo snarled. "Stop bouncing!"
Luffy grinned. "Can't!"
He appeared above Doflamingo.
"GUM-GUM"
His legs tucked in.
"RHINO SCHNEIDER!"
CRASH💥
Doflamingo slammed into the ground headfirst, creating a massive crater.
The city trembled again.
High above, clouds twisted from the pressure.
Somewhere else on Dressrosa, people stopped and looked up.
"This island…"
"…It's going to break."
Luffy hovered in the air, steam rolling off him.
He stared down at the crater.
"I'm ending this."
Doflamingo slowly stood up, body trembling, strings unraveling from his shoulders.
Blood ran down his face.
He laughed.
"Fufufu… good."
His eyes burned with madness.
"Let's see which of us breaks first."
Luffy clenched his fists. "I'm not losing."
He vanished.
BLAST💨
[High Above the Island]
Nyx and Chaos slammed into each other again and again and again.
CRACK⚡️☄️
Dark energy and fire collided, ripping the clouds apart.
Chaos twisted mid-air, flames coiling around his arms. "You're slower than before."
Nyx's eyes narrowed. "Then stop talking."
She raised her blade and covered it in black Haki.
She vanished.
Chaos barely crossed his arms.
SMASH💥
Nyx's blade tore through the air, sending Chaos spiraling backward.
He caught himself, boots skidding across nothing.
Blood dripped from his lip.
Chaos laughed. "Good. Now we're warming up."
Fire erupted behind him, forming massive burning wings.
The heat alone warped the air.
[Back Below]
Strings exploded upward.
Doflamingo thrust both hands forward.
"OVERHEAT!"
A massive flaming whip of string lashed towards Luffy.
Luffy twisted mid-bounce.
The attack missed by inches, slicing a building in half behind him.
Luffy appeared at Doflamingo's side.
"KONG"
His fist slammed forward.
Doflamingo blocked with Armament Haki.
BOOM💥
The impact blasted the street apart.
Doflamingo skidded back.
His glasses cracked.
"…Unbelievable."
[Up Above]
Chaos shot forward, fire wings folding inward.
He punched.
Nyx blocked with her blade.
CLANG🗡 👊
The shockwave blew the clouds apart.
Nyx flipped backward, landing on an invisible foothold of dark energy.
Chaos followed instantly.
Flames exploded around them.
"You rely too much on that sword," Chaos mocked.
Nyx tightened her grip. "And you rely too much on brute force."
Dark symbols flared beneath her feet.
The sky darkened.
[Back Below]
Luffy bounced high, steam trailing behind him.
He pulled both arms back.
"GUM-GUM"
Doflamingo raised both arms, strings spiraling wildly. "Don't think this is over!"
"KONG GATLING!"
Fists rained down like cannon ball.
BOOM💥 BOOM💥 BOOM💥
Each hit shattered the air itself.
Doflamingo screamed as he get punched into the ground.
The island trembled violently.
[Up Above]
Nyx raised her blade over her head.
"End of the line."
Dark energy condensed into a massive crescent moon.
Chaos's grin widened. "Finally."
He thrust both arms forward.
Flames twisted together, forming a roaring inferno.
They charged.
BOOOOOOM💥
Darkness and fire collided.
The sky split open.
Lightning rained down.
The pressure wave slammed into Dressrosa.
Buildings collapsed.
People screamed while they try to hide from all the chaos.
[Back Below]
Luffy hovered in the air, panting as steam rolled off of his body.
Doflamingo laughed while he lay embedded in the ground,
"Fufufu… you think this ends here?"
Above them, the sky roared.
Fire and darkness tore the heavens apart.
Luffy looked up.
"…What the hell is going on up there?"
