Electricity intertwined on his fingers, condensing into a dazzling lightning ball. Then, Rowen made a gesture with his mouth…
“Boom!”
Bang!!!
In an instant, thunder roared as the finger-thick electric current flashed and disappeared in an instant, passing through Doflamingo’s body as he soared in the sky without a chance to react.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment and only when the Thunderlight vanished into the distance did the scene start moving again.
Plop!
In mid-air, Doflamingo spewed out a mixture of blood and internal organs before letting out a scream, and his whole body swayed as he began to fall from the sky.
Rowen calmly watched the rapidly descending figure and suddenly shook his head.
“It’s useless…”
As expected, in the next moment, Doflamingo abruptly stepped in mid-air, swiftly approaching Rowen. A wicked and killing intent-filled smile hung on his face, and his waist and abdomen, which should have been pierced, remained intact!
However, from behind his body, a mummy wrapped in countless white threads gradually fell off like a cloak.
Black Knight – Shadow Knight String!
In this critical moment, Doflamingo unexpectedly used his String puppet to block the Thunder Pillar’s attack, taking advantage of that small opening to escape certain death! Then, he made Rowen believe that he was severely injured, intending to get close to Rowen and deliver a fatal blow.
Even if Rowen was stronger than him, so what?
He came here for revenge, with only one goal in mind… to kill Rowen!
The destruction of the G-10 Branch was just incidental. Now that his plan had failed, a bigger target appeared before him. Putting himself in Rowen’s shoes, Doflamingo wouldn’t give up this golden opportunity!
Athlete – Leg Shave String!
As the distance between them closed in, the moment Doflamingo suddenly lifted his foot to kick, eight almost transparent, slender threads carrying overwhelming killing intent entangled and sliced toward Rowen’s neck.
At the same time, the threads faintly emitted a black-purple glow, indicating the presence of Busoshoku Haki on them!
As a pirate who could stand firm in the New World, his mastery and skill in using Haki were exquisite. Even in such a rapid sneak attack, he could still cover all aspects!
If it were an ordinary person or even an ordinary Vice Admiral, they wouldn’t have had the time to react to such an ambush. However, facing Rowen, who possessed the Heart Network and an incredible range of Kenbunshoku Haki, Doflamingo’s every small movement in the sky was crystal clear to him.
200 Million Volt·High-Frequency Ship-Chopping Blade!
As Doflamingo descended, what caught his eye wasn’t Rowen’s shocked expression, but a blue blade surrounded by thunder and magnified several times over!
Buzz!!!
The towering electric light darkened the sky, creating a heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the area. The howling wind and surges couldn’t disperse the condensed killing intent within the towering light.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The razor-sharp transparent threads were easily cut in half by the thunderous blade, emitting a slight snapping sound. Then, the thunderous blade continued its momentum, slashing directly toward Doflamingo’s head!
This strike was enough to split mountains, and divide the seas!
However, Rowen also mastered Kenbunshoku Haki, and so did Doflamingo.
In the instant that the High-frequency Ship-chopping Blade was about to complete its strike, a scene of death flashed through Doflamingo’s mind. The alarm bells rang in his head, and facing the oncoming electric blade, he spread his fingers apart ruthlessly.
Kumo no Sugaki (Spider’s Web)!
Countless densely packed transparent threads suddenly burst out from his fingertips, rapidly spreading and weaving together to form a giant spiderweb hundreds of meters in diameter!
At the same time, ink-black color splattered on the web, turning the threads pitch black and incredibly sturdy.
Ding!!!
The Ship-chopping Blade struck the spiderweb, creating sparks that flew in all directions!
In the midst of the clash of metal and iron, the spiderweb was pressed back by hundreds of meters, and it looked as if it had been struck by a giant’s fist, causing Doflamingo’s eyes to widen.
The Kumo no Sugaki (Spiderweb), which he was almost invincible with, able to withstand almost any attack, wasn’t capturing a moth this time; it was facing a colossal creature that could easily crush a spider!
Numerous sparks scattered along with the collision, and electric currents surged along with them, almost breaking through the defenses of the Kumo no Sugaki (Spiderweb).
But in a mere moment, countless electric lights scattered and erupted, and with a “Pu” sound, the Kumo no Sugaki (Spiderweb) was split in two.
“What incredible Busoshoku Haki!” Rowen calmly exclaimed.
The rapidly spinning electromagnetic sharp blade was not a true weapon. Hardness and toughness meant nothing to it. Rather than saying it “Cuts,” it would be more accurate to say it “Annihilates.”
Whatever it can destroy, it can instantly cut through. And whatever it cannot destroy, no matter how hard it tries, it cannot sever.
However, in the face of Busoshoku Haki in this world, it could actually bring about a concept of “Stalemate”…
“However… that’s all there is to it.”
Wielding the slightly dim High-frequency Ship-chopping Blade, Rowen exerted force with his arm, continuing his advance.
However, the time Kumo no Sugaki (Spider’s Web) bought was already enough for Doflamingo to escape the attack range.
Swish!
The strike of the swung Ship-chopping Blade emitted a dazzling brilliance. Its sharpness, as if capable of tearing through the void, pierced straight through the sky and plunged into the sea.
Thunk!!!
Rowen’s attack created an unimaginable scene. The calm sea abruptly revealed a bottomless chasm, and it took 3 to 4 seconds for the water to rush back into the fissure and fill it up again.
“Fufufufufufuf, what a terrifying attack!” Doflamingo treaded on his Sky Path and arrived behind Rowen with a terrifying smile on his face that could quiet a crying child.
His palm opened, and five fingers shot out transparent threads, colliding with the Thunder Cloud Sword that Rowen had retracted.
Ding!!!
His threads already possessed incredible toughness and hardness, and now with the added Busoshoku Haki, they couldn’t be severed by Rowen’s Saijō Ō Wazamono Thunder Cloud Sword!
“Are you sure you want to fight me, Vice Admiral Rowen?”
In the stalemate, Doflamingo wickedly smiled and said, “Believe me, before you kill me, this base will be destroyed by us.”
Indeed, that was the case. Doflamingo wasn’t afraid of destruction because he was a pirate. The one who needed to consider these things when fighting in a Marine base was only Rowen.
However…
“A base? What base?”
Rowen held the blade with one hand and spoke with a relaxed smile on his face. In the next moment, he pushed with force, and a tremendous power dispersed the Goshikito – Five Color Strings that Doflamingo had swung upon Rowen.
In front of Doflamingo’s astonished gaze, a mysterious blue rune lit up on Rowen’s forehead. That abstract symbol, twisted into a circular shape resembling the character for “Thunder,” made Doflamingo’s hair stand on end.
“Who do you think you are, Doflamingo? If you were one of the monsters among the Yonko then I would naturally be wary, but if it’s just you…”
“Believe me, you won’t even be able to harm a blade of grass here.”
Thunder God Seal!!
