Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Ignoring his injuries, Luffy gritted his teeth and launched another attack.

Doflamingo's attacks became even more frenzied and reckless.

Luffy has only one belief in his heart: to defeat the enemy in front of him.

However, no matter how hard Luffy tried, he was unable to break through the defenses of the Thread Clone Technique.

After being knocked to the ground by the string clone once again, Luffy felt his stamina and cosmos being rapidly depleted.

He knew that if things continued like this, he would be defeated by Doflamingo sooner or later.

"Am I really going to lose?"

As Luffy lay on the ground, a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

He thought of his comrades and the countless battles they had fought together.

He was unwilling to accept defeat; he wanted to continue fighting for his beliefs and for his comrades.

Just when Luffy was about to fall into despair, he suddenly felt a powerful force surging within him.

This power comes from the depths of his heart; it is the result of his desire for victory and his trust in his comrades.

Luffy realized that this was the last bit of power his inner universe was unleashing as it was on the verge of collapse.

"I won't lose!"

Luffy roared, and with that powerful force, he stood up from the ground once again.

His body trembled slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment, but his eyes were incredibly firm.

At this moment, Luffy's cosmos had reached its limit, and a layer of silver aura began to emanate from his body.

This silver aura, like flames, surrounded his body, radiating a powerful and mysterious force.

When Doflamingo saw the silver aura emanating from Luffy, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

He could sense that Luffy's power had undergone a qualitative change.

This change terrified him; he realized he might have underestimated the strength of the man before him.

But Doflamingo did not back down. He was a strongman who had experienced countless battles, and he would not give up the fight because of a little fear.

He once again manipulated his string clones, preparing to meet Luffy's final attack.

This time, he focused all his attention on Luffy, knowing that this would be a crucial battle that would determine the outcome.

Luffy took a deep breath and slowly raised his arm.

A powerful cosmic force was gathering on his arm, and a silver aura swirled around it, as if it could erupt at any moment.

Luffy's eyes were filled with determination and resolve as he looked at Doflamingo and his string clones without the slightest fear.

"This is my final blow, and your final moment!"

"Third Gear, Cosmo Armament, Dry Wood Dry Wood Fall Pegasus Emperor Superstar Fist!"

Luffy said in a low voice, and then his arm swung out like lightning.

This punch, imbued with all his strength and conviction, carried boundless light and power as it hurtled towards Doflamingo and his string clones.

……

Chapter 146: Doflamingo's Devil Fruit Awakens, Luffy's Cosmo Explodes.

Doflamingo was somewhat flustered at this moment.

This isn't some Straw Hat Boy, he's practically an unkillable monster!

He looked at the guy in front of him, dressed in Saint Cloth and calling himself Luffy, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

Ever since that mysterious Fanny appeared, this kid seems like a completely different person, relentlessly pursuing me.

It looks like a rubber candy.

As the auras of his subordinates disappeared one by one, Doflamingo's anger burned like a raging fire.

He had originally planned to use his ability to fly to give this straw hat kid a good thrashing.

For this, they even went so far as to consume more than a dozen line clones.

But who would have thought that this kid fell down three times, yet he stubbornly got up three times each time, and his strength was stronger each time.

From the explosion of cosmos to Gear Second, Gear Third...

In this bizarre state, his body remained the same as usual, without any swelling or deformation.

The only difference was that the Saint Cloth had some strange patterns on it, and a pair of metal wings on its back.

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and decided not to sit idly by and wait for his death.

"Umihara Shirami!"

He roared, and his aura suddenly changed, unleashing a terrifying power from his body.

Finally, his Devil Fruit power awakened! The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by his power.

Everything on the ground began to be controlled by his threads, and countless threads surged towards Luffy as if they were alive.

Upon seeing this, Luffy's eyes revealed determination and resolve.

"Burn, my little universe."

"Fourth gear!"

The faint silvery-white aura emanating from him grew stronger, as if a mysterious shield tightly enveloped him.

Despite Doflamingo's overwhelming attack of threads, Luffy did not back down in the slightest.

He swung his arms violently, causing the surrounding air to whistle.

The power that combined domineering aura with his inner universe gathered into a dazzling light on his fist.

"Ultimate Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

Luffy shouted loudly, and his fists rained down on Doflamingo like a storm.

Each punch carried immense power, causing the air to buzz.

The threads that rushed toward him were repelled upon touching his silvery-white aura, as if they had encountered an invisible barrier.

Doflamingo manipulated the threads, constantly changing his attack methods in an attempt to break through Luffy's defenses.

"Shield White Line!"

His threads sometimes pierced Luffy like sharp swords, and sometimes they wrapped around Luffy like ropes.

But Luffy, with his agility and strength, skillfully evaded Doflamingo's attacks time and time again.

During the fierce battle, Doflamingo suddenly realized that Luffy's attacks were not only powerful, but also contained a mysterious power of rules.

Each of his attacks seemed to disrupt his control over the silk threads, throwing his attack rhythm into disarray.

Doflamingo was startled. He realized that the opponent he was facing was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Luffy wouldn't give Doflamingo a chance to catch his breath. Taking advantage of the moment when Doflamingo showed an opening, he charged towards Doflamingo like a cannonball.

Behind him, a pair of metal wings flapped rapidly, providing him with powerful propulsion.

In the blink of an eye, Luffy was standing in front of Doflamingo.

He raised his fist high, gathering all his strength, and smashed it down towards Doflamingo's head.

"Ultimate Pegasus Pegasus Giant Fist!"

Luffy roared, his fist rapidly growing larger in mid-air, slamming down on Doflamingo with earth-shattering force.

"The wild waves and the white line!"

Doflamingo's expression changed drastically. He quickly manipulated the threads to weave a sturdy defensive net in front of him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Luffy's fist slammed heavily into Doflamingo's defensive net.

The powerful impact sent Doflamingo flying backward uncontrollably, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Luffy's attack did not end there; he followed up with a series of attacks.

Each punch carried immense power and momentum, leaving Doflamingo struggling to keep up.

Doflamingo was both shocked and furious; he had never encountered such a formidable opponent.

But he was, after all, a strong man who had experienced countless battles, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. He decided to use his strongest move to fight Luffy to the death.

Doflamingo took a deep breath and moved his hands rapidly, instantly filling the space around him with countless threads.

These threads intertwined to form a giant sphere, enveloping both him and Luffy within it.

Doflamingo's eyes revealed madness and determination; he knew that this battle would determine his life or death.

"Thousands of arrows pierce the heart, strike with feathers, and thread!"

"Withered Tree, Withered Tree Falls - Extreme - Pegasus - Meteor Fist!"

Luffy looked at the giant sphere of threads in front of him without feeling the slightest fear.

His inner universe and domineering aura surged wildly within him, and the silvery-white aura emanating from his body grew increasingly intense, as if it were about to illuminate the entire world.

He clenched his fist again, bracing himself for Doflamingo's strongest attack.

The moment Doflamingo's sphere of threads was fully formed, a powerful sense of oppression swept over them.

Luffy could feel that the oppressive feeling came not only from the dense black threads around him.

It also stems from Doflamingo's insanely burning fighting spirit.

Doflamingo's voice came from all directions around the Thread Sphere, carrying a hint of madness and mockery.

"Straw Hat Boy, this is your end!"

"Taste my strongest move after awakening—Ultimate Kill: 16 Sacred Bullets—Godslayer!"

As Doflamingo finished speaking, the black threads began to contract wildly.

Each thread was like a sharp blade, slicing towards Luffy.

Luffy knew the power of this move, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
