Chương 282: Luffy vs Doflamingo

Doflamingo dragged himself through the skies. It was more conspicuous than sneaking from alley to alley, but he couldn't afford any more delays like Ace.

*whiSTLE*

Doflamingo twirling, causing a flaming projectile to narrowly miss him as it whistled past him. Upon closer inspection, the projectile was… a flaming pinecone.

*POP*

The pinecone exploded, sending flaming shrapnel flying it every direction. Some of it hit Doflamingo as well, but didn't do much damage to him. However, had he been closer to the pinecone, that might have wounded him enough to take seriously.

*whiSTLE* *whiSTLE* *whiSTLE*

*POP* *POP* *POP*

There were more where the first pinecone came from. Doflamingo could dodge them with ease, but every dodge was followed by a peppering of hot pinecone scales.

Doflamingo used the trajectory to track down his assailant. His menacing gaze caught a brief sight of some long-nosed fool ducking behind a wall.

In his anger, he altered his trajectory to kill the idiot…

"HORAAAH!!!"

…Only to find a boulder flying straight at him, flung by a giant.

Doflamingo frantically yanked himself out of the path of the rock. No matter how strong a human became, only a fool would take an attack from a giant head on. Their physical might was nothing to sneer at.

Whilst Doflamingo dodged the boulder just fine, his observation haki screamed at him. It was a moment too late, however, as a pine cone smashed directly into his face.

With a resounding POP, it exploded at point black range. If Doflamingo hadn't been wearing his custom reinforced sunglasses, his eyes would have been pierced by the pinecone scales and blinded him. As it stood, he had many cuts and burns on his face.

"I'll kill you all!" Doflamingo roared.

With a twitch of his finger, the giant lurched into action and threw an entire house at Usopp.

"EEEK!" Usopp's squeal of terror was even louder than the giant's shout.

A delicate looking arm even larger than the giant's sprouted from the ground and swatted the house away.

"Relax, Longnose-kun. I am here with you." Robin spoke reassuringly, bolstering Usopp's confidence.

"Radical BEAM!" Franky's nipple lasers flashed at Doflamingo, forcing him to dodge again.

These ants grouping up together to face him was royally pissing Doflamingo off. So much so, that an important detail had momentarily slipped his mind.

*boing*

*Boing!*

*BOING!!!*

*BLAM!!!!!*

Doflamingo felt like he just got hit by a second boulder, only he knew the giant was currently not a threat to him so that wasn't the cause.

*boinboinBOING!!!*

Doflamingo saw it coming this time and raised his arms to block. A large, black fist collided with him and sent him careening into the ground with a crash.

Luffy landed next to the resulting crater with another boing. He was barely recognisable, looking more like a barrel chested gorilla who skipped leg day.

"BOUNDMAN!" Luffy announced, needing his enemy to know the name of the move that would defeat him.

*Slash*

A claymore ripped through the ground where Doflamingo's neck had been only an instant before. The hybrid Axolotl, Kyros looked disappointed but not surprised that his attack failed.

Doflamingo wasn't a man to take a beating lying down, so he quickly got to his feet.

"Tsk. You've forced my hand." Doflamingo said.

He didn't want to waste this on some small fries, not with two admirals lurking around somewhere. However, he didn't have much choice in the matter now.

A pulse of power and his will took hold of the surrounding buildings. They stretched upwards and transformed into huge masses of strings.

Like massive spears, the strings pierced towards Luffy and Kyros. Luffy bounded out of the way faster than his size would suggest.

Kyros wasn't fast enough to dodge, so he raised his sword to block. That was a terrible mistake, as the strings bypassed the sword altogether and stabbed through his chest.

"Cool Statue Guy?!" Luffy exclaimed.

On a distant hill overlooking the battle, Ex-king Riku grit his teeth. Rebecca gasped and clasped a hand over her mouth in horror. Others who knew and respected Kyros were similarly distraught.

"Fufufufufu! I should have done that a long time ago!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally.

Kyros spat up a mouthful of blood and collapsed. He felt like he was drowning due to his punctured lungs.

Doflamingo moved his strings to deal a death blow to Kyros, but he was interrupted by Luffy's charge and moved them to intercept him instead. Beneath his notice, Kyros was swapped with a cobblestone.

Well outside of the battle, Law and Cherry stood over Kyros' form. Law set to work immediately doing triage, only his focus was not saving Kyros' life. His only goal was putting things back into the correct placement, then stepped away for Cherry to move in.

Back at the battle, Luffy hammered away at a spider web shield that Doflamingo created with a shout "KONG GATLING!"

The web of string was taking a real beating, but in the end it fell beneath the onslaught. Unfortunately, the web still lasted more than long enough for Doflamingo to reposition himself away from danger.

Still, Doflamingo was sweating this a lot more than he anticipated. The goofy appearance Luffy had had given him a false sense of security and now he was paying for it. His years of experience told him that this couldn't be kept up for long, though; it had to have a large impact on his body. So he would survive until he's vulnerable, then kill him in one fell swoop.

"More power…" Luffy muttered, but his words still reached Doflamingo's ears.

"That's right, foolish boy! You're not strong enough!" Doflamingo bluffed.

Luffy bit his arm and blew his arm up to epic proportions. "KING KONG-!"

"Ah, fuck…" Doflamingo tried to get the hell out of dodge, throwing up three webs between himself and Luffy even though that sapped a lot of his stamina.

"-GUN!!!" Luffy pressed his fist forward with all his might.

The King Kong Gun shattered the first, then the second, and finally stopped at the third web barrier. Luffy was breathing heavily now, he could only maintain Gear 4th for so long and the more he exerted himself the shorter that would be.

Doflamingo pulled together all the string that he could handle, coating it with the densest Armament Haki he could produce; then he sent it all stabbing towards the panting Luffy. "God Thread!"

"Speed and power…" Luffy abandoned all reason. This next stunt was liable to cripple his arms from the strain alone, but he trusted that Law and Cherry could fix him up good as new.

He cocked his arms, folding them in on themselves like his regular kong gun; but then they began to twist faster and faster, pushing their limits far beyond what he's ever tried to twist them before. The skin of his arms started to break and bleed from the combined pressure of the twist and his Gear 4th form.

The God Threads were upon him and he has neither dodged nor prepared to block them.

"KONG FIRING SQUAD!" Luffy shouted and met the God Threads with his own technique that combined both the quantity of his gatling attacks and the quality of his rifle attacks.

Each of the sixteen hyper dense string spears was individually obliterated, and Luffy didn't stop there. Doflamingo hastily threw up more shields, even using Off White to create great masses of string to get in the way. All were torn asunder.

When the last of his defenses fell, Doflamingo's life flashed before his eyes just before they tore him apart as well. Luffy's destructive barrage ended only when his arms would no longer move. At the same time, Gear 4th came to an end as his stamina could no longer support it.

Luffy heaved great breaths, unable to even scream in pain from his mangled arms.

"FUFUFUFUFU!" Doflamingo laughed.

Chương 283: Fall of Doflamingo

Luffy watched Doflamingo in confusion. He had appeared from a different direction than he should have.

When the dust settled at ground zero of Luffy's assault, a lone figure could be seen. It looked like Doflamingo, but it had several gouges ripped out of it that shouldn't be survivable. Inside these devastating wounds, countless ripped strings could be seen.

After Doflamingo attempted to block Luffy's attack with Off White, he quickly made a body double and slipped away under the cover of his defense. Since Luffy lacked direct line of sight on him and was so focused, he unfortunately missed the switch.

The real Doflamingo flew at Luffy, arm pulled back like a claw intending to finish him off.

Just as he reached the exhausted upstart pirate captain and bore down on him with a lethal blow, Luffy vanished. In his place appeared Kyros who looked as healthy as he'd ever been. More importantly, Kyros was in the middle of swinging his sword.

*Slash!*

Doflamingo couldn't dodge it; he was too exhausted, too slow. He was cut from his shoulder to his hip across the chest and stumbled back in shock.

Kyros didn't allow him to put any distance between them. He pursued Doflamingo relentlessly, like a hound from hell bent on dragging him to the place he belonged.

Dolfamingo wasn't a shichibukai for nothing, though. Despite being on the back foot, Kyros couldn't land any more solid hits; only small cuts and grazes from time to time, nothing substantial like the first surprise attack.

In addition, he was able to use his strings to close the long gash across his torso and prevent himself from bleeding out.

"Fufufufu! Is this all you've got? The fate of Dressrosa rests upon your shoulders, and you can't do anything about it!" Doflamingo mocked.

"The birdcage isn't moving anymore." Kyros pointed out with a calm voice. "You're so exhausted that you can't even spare that much attention. There is no more time limit, and I can do this all day."

Doflamingo grit his teeth and his mind searched frantically for a solution. Kyros intended to wear him down and Doflamingo can't win a battle of attrition in his already exhausted state.

He reached his mind out for the parasitic strings he placed within the giant, Hajrudin, but he couldn't find them. He caught a glance of the towering figure watching the battle from a distance, so he was definitely still in range.

'They removed my string?! How?!' Doflamingo couldn't believe it. His parasitic strings wrapped around the victim's spinal cord, they couldn't just be casually removed!

His eyes caught onto a familiar figure at the edge of the battle, waiting in the winds so to speak. Fujitora was sat at a table, slurping noodles from a bowl as if this was just a regular day.

"Fujitora! Are you just going to sit there whilst a Shichibukai is under attack?!" Doflamingo shouted. It was a long shot, but he had to take every shot that he could.

"Hm? Are you under attack? I can't see anyone attacking you, though?" Fujitora drank the remaining broth and picked up a second bowl.

"What are you, blind-?! DAMN IT!" Doflamingo fell straight into that one.

Doflamingo tried to side step an overhead swing of Kyros' sword, but his foot didn't budge.

*Slash*

Once again Doflamingo took a slash across the chest, this time from the opposite shoulder to the other hip, creating a large X on his front torso. Four slender, but deceptively powerful arms that were gripping his leg disappeared in a puff of flower petals.

Now he had one more thing to be mindful of on top of a mountain of other factors that might lead to his death. He should have cut his losses from the start, but the arrogance he had built up over more than three decades wasn't an easy thing to discard.

The game of cat and mouse between him and Kyros lasted a few more minutes, with Doflamingo in the unenviable role of the mouse. Kyros never overextended in an attempt to end things more quickly, thus drawing out Doflamingo's inevitable end.

A simple mistake created an opening at his right side. Kyros took it with a hard kick with his freshly regrown left leg, the very same one he lost during his first confrontation with Doflamingo.

Doflamingo could take it, though, and he'd used the chance to counterattack. Or he would have, if Luffy hadn't come out of nowhere like a bat out of hell, slamming into the left side of Doflamingo's face with a devastating kick of his own.

After doing an involuntary cartwheel in the air, Doflamingo slumped to the ground completely drained of energy, unmoving.

For a few moments, it was deathly quiet. The whole of Dressrosa seemed to hold its breath.

When the birdcage unraveled, the silence turned into deafening cheers. Only a small portion of the kingdom's population directly bore witness to the Shichibukai's downfall; it was only then that they all knew that the devil was defeated.

In a hidden place, Law heaved a sigh. Though Doflamingo didn't fall by his own hand, he was not such a shallow person that his long awaited revenge must be completed by himself alone. It was enough that Doflamingo finally got his due.

"Oh, shit-!" Cherry left those short words hanging in the air as she charged directly through a brick wall. From the sounds of it, it wasn't the only one she did so with either.

Law wondered what her hurry was that she needed to do even more property damage. When he started to sweat and realized that it was several degrees hotter than a few minutes ago, his question answered itself.

The time had come and Akainu was ready to act.

Up until now, he had his men running around helping people evacuate inwards away from the birdcage, whilst those with decent armament haki helped to slow down the birdcage's shrinking.

He didn't care about it, but it was good for morale and their reputation to help people.

His reports told him a number of pirates were also holding off the birdcage, but that was easy to spin as self preservation.

The same was true for the battle against Doflamingo, the Straw Hats were only saving their own skins. In fact, the good people of Dressrosa never would have been in danger in the first place had the Straw Hats not picked a fight with him!

Meanwhile the Neo Marines had planned to draw Doflamingo away, to reduce collateral damage to a minimum. They even had a whole plan drafted out. Nevermind whether it would have worked; what mattered was directing the blame to where it belonged. On the pirates' heads.

Akainu lit a cigar on his tongue and took a few puffs off of it before cracking his neck. "Keep the small fries away from me."

"""Yes, sir!""" his Neo Marines chimed and saluted with determined faces.

Akainu started forward at a marching pace, his momentum that of an unstoppable tide of molten rock. His destination was the site of the battle against Doflamingo, and his objective to cut down the victor and the loser alike.

His body began to roil, bubble, and surge; the surrounding air slowly started heating up to an uncomfortable degree.

He saw them in the distance, Luffy standing over Doflamingo's unmoving form. There was another, but he was irrelevant so long as he didn't get in the way.

Akainu raised his arm in a fist and before he consciously understood why he did so, two feet slammed into it in a drop kick that threw him into the wall on the other side of him.

Akainu clambered out of the crumbling, and now melting, wall and glared at the interloper. Cherry had hit him so fast that only his fine tuned reflexes allowed him to respond to the warning his observation haki gave him in time to block it. Unfortunately for Cherry, he had sparred with Kizaru often enough to develop this sort of almost automatic defense mechanism.

"Hey, bud. Ready for round two?" Cherry snickered, a spear and sword appearing in either of her hands.
