Tesoro, pressed to the ground by Sanjuan, exploded with the force. He couldn't bear the strange glances from the onlookers any longer. With a roar, he hurled Sanjuan away, "Damn it, you big child, get the hell of me!"
Surprisingly, Sanjuan didn't topple over as expected. Instead, he bounced like a balloon, landing on the ground with a grin.
"You're quite the strong, copper man."
"Damn you! You're the copper man, and your whole family is a golden man!"
Angry roars echoed from Tesoro. He initially thought this giant was just bluffing, but he hadn't anticipated the combination of innocence and gigantic power.
In their brief scuffle, Tesoro found himself on the receiving end pressed to the ground and hammered under Sanjuan's punches. This was infuriating for the Tesoro also known as the "Casino King", the ruler of the world's largest entertainment city-ship in the world—Gran Tesoro!
A little child-like giant had him pinned to the ground, unleashing a torrent of violent blows. Oh, wait, he corrected himself; the seemingly little giant wasn't little at all.
This guy had fought head-to-head with Marine Admiral Fujitora without a scratch and shattered two meteorites with a single punch! With a current bounty of 1.5 billion and the name "Colossal Battleship" reverberating across the seas, Tesoro almost forgot that the imposing figure before him wasn't a small fry.
The Buggy Pirates' bounty had skyrocketed after the Punk Hazard Battle, surpassing the bounties of Kaido and Big Mom in the Yonko.
Though the Yonko's bounties had stagnated for years, their strength had undoubtedly grown. Buggy, however, didn't underestimate them based solely on bounty figures.
Just as he looked down on Doflamingo, Buggy acknowledged the strength of the former Shichibukai. In the original timeline, Luffy secured victory over Doflamingo, though it involved some clever maneuvers.
Despite the 1.5 billion bounty following his escape from Dressrosa, it hinted that Doflamingo's overall strength at the time exceeded that formidable sum!
Doflamingo's bounty should be around 2 billion. Not 340,000,000 Berries because his bounty was frozen as him being part of Shichibukai.
These individuals are at least nearly Admiral-level powerhouses!
Buggy, now unsurprised, observes Doflamingo holding his own against Enel while confronting Crocodile, a master of two colors of Haki.
Considering Enel and Crocodile predominantly exploit their Devil Fruit abilities during this fight, they still lag behind Doflamingo by a lot in Haki's strength!
Were they wielders of other types of Devil Fruits, it's conceivable that a two-on-one scenario might be necessary to contend with Doflamingo.
To clarify, both possess Logia-type Devil Fruits— one with the mid-range sand-sand no mi and the other boasting the mightiest Goro Goro no mi, effectively bridging the Haki gap.
Buggy, in no rush to intervene, takes the opportunity to gauge the current prowess of his partners and their combat abilities.
From Buggy's perspective, Onigashima belongs to Kaido, and the forces below, comprising the slave troops, Zoan fruits users, and the Big Mom pirates are under the command of Kaido and Big Mom. He doesn't care; let them meet their demise as they wish!
As long as he doesn't undo the power of the Mori Mori no mi, [Nativity of the world of trees] will continue in regeneration, particularly with the life force of hundreds of thousands of troops available for absorption!
When the vitality and power of these individuals are harnessed by Mori Mori no mi, part of it contributes to the regeneration of Buggy's own body, while the remainder fortifies Buggy's power, enhancing his strength.
This is the peculiarity of the Mori Mori no mi!
One only needs to extract the vitality of others to grow stronger and continually extend their lifespan. This explains how Green Bull managed to go without food for three years.
However, Buggy has no desire to become that sort of plant-like monster.
Currently, his Mori Mori no mi ability remains dormant, rendering him unable to manifest the myriad plant-related abilities and techniques that he knows and can imagine.
Take, for instance, the True Several Thousand Hands accessible to him at present. What truly vexes Buggy is his yearning for those plants from the previous [Plants vs. Zombies] game!
The potency of a Devil Fruit is as formidable as one imagines it to be!
Initially dismissive of the plants in [Plants vs. Zombies], Buggy's perspective shifted after witnessing the magical plants and seeds in [Boin Islands]. It ignited fresh ideas within him.
The various plant seeds and abilities of Usopp fueled Buggy's greed!
Though he can't currently materialize them, Buggy senses that once his fruit ability awakens, he will be able to incarnate a diverse array of magical and potent plants in [the Boin Islands]!
This foresight propels his anticipation for a substantial rise in strength. Amid battles, Buggy draws inspiration from observing his crew fight.
After a series of clashes, it becomes apparent to Buggy that there exists a discernible gap between Crocodile and Doflamingo!
His awakening only managed to break free from Doflamingo's suppression after a prolonged stalemate of more than ten seconds.
Post-suppressing Crocodile, Doflamingo seizes the moment, thrusting his hands forward and shouting,
"Off-white waves!" The clatter echoes.
The white ground beneath Doflamingo's feet surges, a force more formidable than before propels upward, and a larger white wave crashes against Crocodile.
Just as Crocodile prepares to form a sand shield for defense, Enel's figure flashes in front of him.
"Crocs, switch; I'll handle that guy."
Recognizing the inferiority of his Haki compared to Enel's, and coupled with his weak fruit ability, Crocodile resigns himself to not even attempting to defeat Doflamingo.
This realization leaves him frustrated!
Determined to enhance his Haki after this war, Crocodile resolves to seek out Bullet for a rigorous and hellish bruising training session!
You know, there was a time when he could go toe-to-toe with Bullet, splitting victories 50/50!
Now, reduced to such a state, it's a bitter pill for Crocodile, the "King of the Desert," to swallow.
Yet, on the battlefield, Crocodile remains acutely aware of his victory or possible defeat. He clenches the cigar between his teeth and declares,
"Alright, I'll entrust that guy to you!"
With those words, Crocodile transforms into sand, soaring towards Pica in the distance.
"Don't worry! I'll make him realize that the disparity in Devil Fruits can't be bridged by a gap in Haki at his level! Yahaha!"
Enel raises the golden staff in his hand, tapping the thunder drum behind him, conjuring blue arcs of thunder. Gradually floating in the air, he faces the colossal white wave strings. Slightly turning his body, he aims the long golden stick forward, shouting,
"Sixty million volts, Thunder Tiger!"
"Eighty million volts Thunder Dragon!"
"Dragon-Tiger, Roaring Thunder Combo!"
Following Enel's attacks, an immense thunder tiger and thunder dragon, each several tens of meters long, materialize on either side of him. He directs his golden stick forward, and the two thunder beings unleash a mighty roar. The sound shakes the sky, and thunderous energy surges, creating a resounding
In the blink of an eye, the enormous white wave strings, wielded by Doflamingo's awakened String-String Fruit, are pierced by the two giant spinning thunder beasts and hurtle toward Doflamingo without hindrance.
"So formidable!!!"
Witnessing this spectacle, Doflamingo's pupils in the distance suddenly contract.
"Hmph! But it's not enough! Senbon no Ya: Flap Strings!!!"
Doflamingo roars, stomping his right foot. The curve of his foot transforms into a dozen or so colossal electric white palms, reaching out for the two charging Thunder Beasts.
Initially, the white strings are easily crushed by the dragon and tiger thunder beasts. However, as more and more white palms entangle them, the speed of the two thunder beasts gradually diminishes.
As it closed in to within two or three hundred meters of Doflamingo, it became ensnared in the void by numerous massive white strings erupting from the ground!
In the distance, Enel remained unfazed; a sly grin played on the corners of his mouth as he snapped his fingers, softly uttering a single word.
"Burst!"
"What! This is bad! Shield Off white!"
Doflamingo, caught off guard by the Thunder Beast's ability to explode, hurriedly expended considerable effort to conjure several massive white wave shields made out of strings in front of him.
The colossal explosion effortlessly ripped apart the countless white threads enveloping the Dragon Tiger Thunder Beast, transforming into a series of powerful impacts hurtling toward Doflamingo.
As the echoes of the explosion waned, several shield strings created by Doflamingo lay in ruins.
His body bore many scorched black marks; evidently, he had sustained severe injuries.
"FufuFufu. Truly worthy of being called God Enel! Could the top-tier Logia Goro Goro no mi reach such a staggering level without awakening?"
Instead of being startled, Doflamingo laughed heartily. Amidst his laughter, he promptly raised his hands, waving them towards Enel, and bellowed,
"God Thread!"
Instantly, thousands of white strings imbued with Armament Haki surged from the ground, enveloping Enel in the shape of flamingo wings.
Spectators were also aware that, despite his ruthless demeanor, Doflamingo still harbored concern for his family. If he didn't go all out, the cadres of the Donquixote family might fall prey to the CP9 members under Buggy.
Observing this, Buggy squinted slightly. He knew that while this move was Doflamingo's signature, it might not be a finishing blow.
'Enel, what's your next move?'
Enel in the distance remained calm, a smirk gracing the corner of his mouth. He confidently spread his arms and declared.
"Doflamingo, even though the captain warned me not to underestimate you, I still believe the gap in our Devil Fruits cannot be bridged by your level of Haki! Now, allow me to demonstrate why my ability is hailed as the strongest Logia!"
"300 million volts Thunder God true Form!"
Under Enel's unyielding gaze, his figure did not attempt to evade. Instead, he suspended his legs cross-legged in the air, summoning a colossal Thunder God statue towering two to three hundred meters, enveloping him within its divine presence.
Doflamingo's God Threads struggled to make any headway within tens of meters around Enel. It clashed against the thunder shrouding Enel's body, leading to a tense standoff.
The clash reached a deadlock.
"Hey, isn't this a bit much? The Thunder Fruit's effects are absurd!"
"At this level, why hasn't he awakened yet?"
"God Enel? The top Logia Devil Fruit, it's truly fearsome!"
"Hey, Kizaru, what are you up to?"
"I'm just watching the game. No harm intended. Don't be so tense, Beckman."
"I can sense it; otherwise, I would have fired!"
"Does Buggy have someone like this?"
"If this guy awakens and his Haki improves, what level will he reach? Yonko level? Haha, that Buggy guy found a great crew member!"
As the spectators on the coast of Wano reacted, bursts of exclamations echoed in the distance. The residents of the island of Wano were no exception.
Enel, the God of Thunder, lived up to his reputation.
However, Enel didn't halt his actions while countering Doflamingo's God Threads.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the God of Thunder raised his hands high, as if reaching for something in the clouds!
As dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, the brilliance instantaneously illuminated the world. Then, before the astonished eyes of onlookers a giant lightning ball with a diameter of hundreds of meters, descended slowly from the sky.
Immediately following, the colossal Thunderball was effortlessly caught by Enel's Thunder God form.
Enel, formerly with closed eyes, abruptly opened them, lightning intertwining within his gaze. He fixed his eyes on Doflamingo, equally astonished in the distance, and spoke in a resonant voice,
"Doflamingo, last chance! If you have another ultimate move, then everything concludes now."
"Anihillation of the Thunder God !"
"Fufufufu!"
Doflamingo, facing the incoming thunder, burst into laughter. At this moment, Conqueror's Haki radiated from him; he extended his arms and exclaimed, "Good!"
"If you are the god of thunder today, then let me kill the god! Sixteen Assassin's Bullets: God Execution Again!"
This move hid the origin of Doflamingo also known as Sixteen Assassin's Bullets: God Execution and was also his strongest technique! Observers of the battle were stunned; they sensed that the decisive moment was imminent. Doflamingo had unleashed his full power!
In response to Doflamingo's resounding roar, sixteen massive strings instantly sprang from the white ground beneath him. In the blink of an eye, these sixteen lines coiled around the elevated terrain.
Density of Armament Haki!
Particularly the black aura at the tip of the Sixteen strings already exuded the essence of high-end armament Haki!
Enel hurtled towards Doflamingo, the manifestation of Thunder God's form.
In the brief span of a breath, the two formidable techniques collided, and the immense Thunderball, descending in an instant, was met by the God Execution. Sixteen black threads, wrapped in high-density Armament Haki, facilitated penetration.
Observing this, Doflamingo displayed a smile at the corner of his mouth!
But before his smile broadened, he realized that the lightning ball continued hurtling towards him at an incredibly swift pace. The God Strings gyrated furiously within the lightning ball, showing no sign of being halted.
Until the Thunderball halted less than ten meters away from Doflamingo's head! As if time had frozen
The next moment, Enel's voice echoed, seemingly reverberating in everyone's hearts. "Burst!"
Another word was spoken, and in the subsequent moment, Doflamingo was engulfed by an immense explosion. A radius of one kilometer was shrouded in thunderstorms, creating a vast pit with a depth of tens of meters in the ground!
Any existence within the explosion range would be reduced to dust!
"Young Lord/ Doffy!!!"
Witnessing this scene from afar, the members of the Donquixote family roared at the top of their lungs. Yet, there was no response within the field of thunderous explosions.
Enel stood upright in the sky, with the Thunder Aspect several hundred meters behind him. Together, they surveyed the people beneath like gods.
After a prolonged moment, the thunder dissipated, and the smoke dispersed. Doflamingo's glasses were shattered, his body charred, lying motionless in the pit! In this battle, the victor emerged as Enel, The God of Thunder.
