Whitebeard isn't infinitely powerful. Even after using his explosive power just now, he needs time to recover before he can continue fighting Kaido and Big Mom.
After all, it takes a lot of time to completely defeat Kaido and Big Mom, and their defenses are not easy to crack.
Therefore, from then on, Whitebeard continued to engage with them without using that explosive power.
Although Whitebeard was more skilled than them, Kaido and Big Mom teamed up at that moment, fueled by high anger, making the situation evenly matched.
They weren't sure how long this state lasted, but the battlefield undergone great changes, and the battle between Doflamingo and the Supernovas intensified.
While Doflamingo is powerful, the Supernovas' combined strength gives him a headache, especially Luffy, who proves to be a strong opponent for him.
"I have to defeat you!" Luffy yelled firmly.
Over the past two years, Luffy has diligently trained under Rayleigh's guidance. His strength has improved greatky, and Doflamingo is the toughest opponent he has faced since getting stronger.
This completely ignited Luffy's fighting spirit. He disregarded everything else, he didn't care about the battlefield anymore, He just wanted to defeat Doflamingo.
"Gomu-Gomu no Machine Gun!"
Luffy stretched his arms and rapidly fired punches like a machine gun, hitting Doflamingo with a barrage of blows. However, Doflamingo calmly blocked each one.
"Hmph, is that all you've got?"
Doflamingo smirked, mocking Luffy. But this didn't shake Luffy's resolve; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit even more.
"Wait and see, I'll take you down!" Luffy shouted suddenly.
"Fufufu, bold words, but I doubt you can back them up..." Doflamingo retorted.
"Straw hat boy, give it your all! We've got your back!" Apoo encouraged Luffy.
"And if you can't handle it, we'll help you," Bonney added.
These fighters are all battling the pirate group allied with Kaido. Currently, Luffy is the only one fighting Doflamingo, driven by his determination to defeat him honorably.
"Don't worry, I'll beat him!" Luffy said firmly.
"Hmph, I don't have time to waste on you here!" Doflamingo exclaimed, bursting with strength as he rushed forward and kicked Luffy away.
Luffy spun through the air, unsure how many rotations he made before landing. Doflamingo remarked casually, "I have more important matters."
Undeterred, Luffy got back on his feet, ready to play his trump card this time.
"Gear Fourth, Bounce Man!"
They watched as Luffy inflated his muscles, merging his Armament Haki with his Devil Fruit power. His entire body was covered in Armament Haki, and he swelled up in size.
Gear Fourth Luffy is filled with incredible jumping ability, greatly enhanced speed and power, and the ability to fly and hover in the air.
"This is the result of my training, Doflamingo. Get ready to see it for yourself. Don't hold back!" Luffy said confidently to Doflamingo.
Luffy understands the power of his Gear Fourth well, but what he lacks now is real combat experience with it. This is the first time he's unveiling Gear Fourth against a strong opponent.
"The body's bigger, and you've got more Armament Haki. That all?" Doflamingo said, unimpressed.
"Hmph, you're about to see what Gear Fourth can really do," Luffy retorted.
As soon as he spoke, Luffy dashed forward suddenly. He filled his leg muscles with air, extending them into his thighs, and then propelled himself at high speed by striking the air with his elastic legs.
Luffy's speed caught Doflamingo off guard, and before he could react, he was knocked out by Luffy's punch.
"Not bad, but I let my guard down," Doflamingo said, rallying himself.
With the power of Gear Fourth, Luffy continued his relentless assault, fearless of Doflamingo's counterattacks. After all, Luffy's determination was unwavering.
The overwhelming power of Gear Fourth kept Doflamingo completely on the defensive, unable to counterattack. Luffy had him firmly pinned down, but he struggled to land effective blows on Doflamingo.
Doflamingo blocked all of Luffy's attacks, which frustrated him. So, he decided to use his most powerful moves.
"Gomu gomu no Kong Gun!" Luffy pulled back his fist, doubling its power with elastic force, then unleashed a powerful impact punch.
The punch sent Doflamingo flying into the sky. Luffy glanced upward and immediately pursued him, wanting to continue attacking in mid-air.
However, Doflamingo quickly adjusted his posture and evaded Luffy's pursuit. The earlier blow had left Doflamingo slightly stiffened, but it wasn't enough to incapacitate him, the power was not enough to defeat him
Gear Fourth is strong enough to defeat Doflamingo. Luffy remains confident, but he's still inexperienced in using it in real combat for the first time, and there's a time limit on its effectiveness.
If Doflamingo isn't defeated while Luffy is in Gear Fourth, he won't be able to use Armament Haki for the next ten minutes. This makes Luffy a little anxious already.
"Doflamingo!" Luffy chased after Doflamingo with another punch.
Doflamingo reluctantly took Luffy's attack head-on, but the impact was too much, knocking Doflamingo out once more.
Although Doflamingo has strong physical skills, the power of Luffy in the fourth gear is too strong.
Doflamingo's String-String Fruit offers no advantage in this situation. It can't neutralize Luffy's power; it only allows him to endure the direct impact.
However, Doflamingo is also tough. Despite being attacked multiple times by Luffy in Gear Fourth, he hasn't been defeated. This poses a challenge for Luffy, as Gear Fourth is nearing its limit and time is running out.
"I guess I'll have to use that one move," Luffy thought to himself, planning to use his final trick to end the battle.
They watched as Luffy prepared for another Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun, then enhanced it by inflating his arm even further, forming a powerful giant King Kong Gun.
