"What a formidable punch!"
Zoro couldn't help but marvel as he witnessed Luffy's moves in the picture! From Sanji to Robin, Usopp, and everyone else, they were all astounded!
As early as when Luffy switched to Gear 4, he had already left them in awe.
No one had anticipated that Luffy would possess such an overwhelming battle mode!
The combat prowess he displayed now far exceeded the audacity he showed when facing CP9 on Enies Lobby!
And this technique, the Great Ape King Gun...
It surpassed the previous Ape King Gun, Great Snake Cannon, and Lion Cannon by a significant margin.
Whether it was Zoro or Franky, they all believed that attempting to block this punch now would likely result in severe injury, if not death!
Meanwhile, Luffy sat at the forefront, his eyes brimming with longing.
It was evident that he yearned for the strength he aspired to attain in the future.
["The Great Ape King Gun is currently Luffy's most potent move in the fourth gear!]]
[Gathering all his power into this punch, it possesses unparalleled destructive force...]
[And faced with such a dire situation, Doflamingo didn't smirk; his madness was vividly on display!]]
["Straw hat boy, let's see how powerful your punch truly is!"]
[In an instant, Doflamingo pushed his Devil Fruit powers to the limit!]]
[Endless threads started converging, forming a massive cobweb right in front of him!]]
[He aimed to counter Luffy's punch!]]
[But what's crucial is not just that...]
[Doflamingo not only utilized his own threads to form a colossal cobweb!]]
[Countless black lines stemmed from it!]]
[These black lines appeared sharp and incredibly hard, resembling actual spider claws!]]
[A myriad of such lines surged towards Luffy...]
[At that very moment, Luffy's fist also exploded forth!]]
[The terrifying power that swept through everything was fully unleashed!]]
[The collision of the black lines and Luffy's fist created an instantaneous shockwave...]
[A formidable energy wave rippled in all directions!]]
[Even those hundreds of kilometers away could feel it distinctly.]
[At this moment, everyone in Dressrosa is fixated on the unfolding battle...]
[While fear grips their hearts, a fervent prayer emanates from within...]
[Prayers echo, hoping Luffy will conquer Doflamingo and liberate them...]
[Everyone!! ]
In reality...
It's not solely Dressrosa's populace praying for Luffy's triumph right now!
Across the globe, those engrossed in the live broadcast share in the collective hope.
At least half of them silently wish for Luffy's victory!
Now, the clash has reached its zenith...
Both contenders unleash their ultimate might, and the outcome pivots on this decisive maneuver!
Ultimately, will it be Luffy's triumph...
Or Doflamingo's success?
Nerves are at an all-time high, the spectators gripped by the unfolding spectacle...
["Doflamingo!! "]
[Luffy's visage contorts with rage, his roars reverberating! ] ]
[The resounding voice echoes across the entire kingdom...]
[Despite his battered form, a singular goal fuels his heart, that is..."
[Defeating Doflamingo and rescuing Dressrosa!] ]
[Finally! ]
[No matter how relentless Doflamingo's taunts, no matter how grueling the struggle! ] ]
[Amidst Luffy's final, all-encompassing burst of power...]
[Countless threads shatter, breaking apart at this critical juncture! ] ]
[With no more barriers, Luffy, propelled by an unyielding force, delivers a devastating blow to Doflamingo's face! ] ]
[At this moment, Doflamingo's expression remains etched in shock! ] ]
[Even behind his sunglasses, the incredulity is unmistakable]
[Yet, now, it's too late!] ]
[Under the overwhelming might of the Great Ape King Spear, Doflamingo is instantly driven into the ground! ] ]
[The colossal power, not fully unleashed, relentlessly pounds him, body and ground becoming one in a chaotic onslaught! ] ]
[Amidst a thunderous roar and billowing dust...]
[A solitary, blood-stained pair of sunglasses rests above the ground. ]
[These sunglasses belong to Doflamingo, but as for the man himself...]
[He lies unconscious, felled by Luffy's decisive punch! ] ]
[This marks the definitive conclusion of the battle! ] ]
[With Luffy emerging triumphant, Doflamingo defeated and vanquished...]
[Through Violet's ability, the entire populace of Dressrosa witnesses this spectacle. ] ]
[At this point, an overwhelming shock envelopes everyone.] ]
[As disbelief spread, Doflamingo was truly defeated!]
[The one responsible for his defeat was none other than the Straw Hat kid, Luffy!]
"Luffy..."
[Violet, Rebecca, and the others couldn't contain their tears; all of them lived under Doflamingo's shadow.]
[Now, thanks to Luffy's intervention, they found complete salvation!]
[In this moment, Luffy, unperturbed, captured the hearts of two prominent beauties...]
[The entire Dressrosa crowd, after a brief silence, erupted into thunderous cheers!]
[Everyone echoed Luffy's name and hailed the entire Straw Hat Pirates!]
[The birdcage that had encircled the kingdom began to slowly dissipate at this very moment.]
[In the hearts of everyone present, it wasn't just the birdcage that was vanishing!]
[It also marked the end of the dark era dominated by Doflamingo, symbolizing...]
[Dressrosa would now embark on a new journey, transforming into a kingdom filled with love!]
Simultaneously, across the world!
The entire world shook!
Marine Headquarters!
"What!?"
"Doflamingo lost..."
In the Marine conference room, everyone, except Garp, was stunned.
A profound shock enveloped their hearts at this moment.
Despite the twists and turns in the previous battles, there was never a doubt that Doflamingo would emerge victorious!
This was due to the clear understanding within the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the three Admirals regarding Doflamingo's strength!
However, it was beyond their expectations... Ultimately, it was Luffy who emerged victorious!
Doflamingo... truly defeated!
This outcome shocked countless individuals to the core, plunging them into deep disbelief...
At the forefront, Garp was jubilant!
"Hahaha... Luffy, you lad, well done!"
"I never expected this grandson to become this powerful!"
"Hahaha, splendid..."
"It brings back memories of my youth, hahaha..."
Normally, one would expect the Marine to maintain their composure, especially during the meeting, given their emphasis on image!
Yet, Garp refrained from voicing his thoughts because... he too was astounded.
At this moment, he remained engrossed in the conclusion where Luffy effortlessly brought down Doflamingo with a single punch.
It must be acknowledged that whether it be Sengoku as a Marine marshal, Aokiji or Kizaru who are Admirals, or Hancock and Mihawk of the Shichibukai, all were petrified by Luffy's Gear 4—or more precisely, intimidated by the sheer might of his final move, the Great Ape King Gun.
Such a formidable force, it seemed that no individual present dared to confront it single-handedly!
In this moment of realization, they came to understand...
The straw hat kid, who had recently set sail and battled with tens of millions of Berry pirates, had rapidly ascended in power.
In the blink of an eye...
How had he become so overwhelmingly potent?
Moreover, he had now earned the right to stand alongside everyone present. As for Doflamingo, seated at the table, his countenance had grown exceedingly grim.
The fury within him had reached an unparalleled intensity!
"Straw Hat Kid..."
"Monkey D. Luffy..."
Even now, he struggled to accept that he had been defeated by such an individual. The rage within Doflamingo surged. At this moment, he was... inclined towards the desire to kill!
Within the Whitebeard Pirates:
"Luffy emerged victorious!?"
Ace was the first to exclaim, his entire being illuminated with joy!
As Luffy's older brother, no one was more jubilant than him at this moment! He was well-acquainted with Doflamingo's strength and understood the formidable adversary Luffy faced.
Although he had unwavering faith in his brother from the start, there was still an inevitable concern.
However, all anxieties dissipated in an instant! Only boundless joy remained...
The rest of the Whitebeard crew, including Marco, Jozu, Vista, and numerous other divsion captains, were equally astonished.
Initially, they hadn't held much hope for Luffy, even considering his relation to Ace.
After all, they were well aware of the caliber of the adversary Luffy confronted.
This was Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
His strength was beyond comparison to Moria's...
Yet, Luffy, through his actions, had delivered a resounding slap to their expectations!
"Gear 4..."
"Great Ape King Gun..."
"Ace's brother, are they already this formidable?"
Everyone, in disbelief, marveled at Luffy's strength...
Displaying immense pride as Luffy's brother, Ace wore an expression of profound satisfaction on his face. Although everyone was already aware of his relationship with Luffy, at this moment, he couldn't resist shouting that sentiment once more...
"Luffy, he's my brother!"
"I'm proud of him!"
