Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

He flapped the metal wings on his back violently, using the powerful airflow generated by the wings to try to resist the approaching threads.

At the same time, he pushed his inner universe and domineering aura to their limits, and the silvery-white aura surged and roared around him like a raging sea.

"Trying to trap me won't be that easy!"

Luffy shouted and suddenly unleashed an unprecedented attack.

He quickly brought his hands together, then abruptly separated them, revealing a huge, silvery-white energy ball slowly taking shape in his hands.

This energy ball contains all of Luffy's power, with his cosmos and Haki intertwining and surging within it, radiating a chilling aura.

"Withered Tree, Withered Tree Falls - Ultimate Gaia Power!"

Luffy forcefully threw the energy ball in his hand toward the center of the thread ball.

As the energy ball flies, it continuously absorbs energy from its surroundings, growing larger and faster.

The moment the energy ball collided with the thread ball, the whole world seemed to be illuminated.

After a deafening roar, a powerful energy surge spread outwards from the point of impact.

Doflamingo felt unprecedented pressure; his String Ball began to crack in the face of Luffy's Ultimate Impact Bomb.

He was greatly alarmed and immediately increased the pressure on the thread in an attempt to repair the crack.

"Withered Tree Falls - Extreme - Pegasus - Light Speed ​​Meteor Fist!"

But Luffy wouldn't give him that chance. Taking advantage of the moment when the threads showed a flaw, he dashed into the center of the threads like a silver lightning bolt.

Luffy's fists rained down on Doflamingo, each punch carrying immense power and domineering aura.

Doflamingo managed to barely withstand Luffy's attack thanks to his silken defenses.

But his body continued to retreat, and more and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He was filled with resentment. He couldn't understand how this straw-hatted boy, who had originally been just a nobody in his eyes, had become so powerful.

"Damn it! I won't lose to you!"

"The Giant of Lines!"

Doflamingo roared and suddenly unleashed a forbidden technique.

He gathered all his silk threads together and then injected them all into his body.

In an instant, Doflamingo's body underwent a tremendous change. His body became taller and stronger, and his skin was covered with a thick layer of black silk armor.

His eyes gleamed with a crazed light, and he seemed to have transformed into a demon from hell.

"Straw Hat Boy, prepare to die! This is my last strength, and your nightmare!"

"Ultimate Kill - 32 Sacred Bombs - Divine Slaughter!"

Doflamingo roared and charged towards Luffy.

His speed was several times faster than before, and his strength had also increased significantly.

Luffy sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Doflamingo.

He knew this would be a true life-or-death struggle.

Luffy took a deep breath, pushing his inner cosmos and Haki to their limits.

Around his body, a silvery-white aura pulsed like a burning flame.

His eyes revealed determination and resolve; he was ready to face any challenge.

"Come on, Doflamingo! Let's see if your final strength is stronger, or my belief is firmer!"

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, the Pirate King, and I'm determined to be him!"

"Burn, my universe!"

……

Chapter 146 Doflamingo's defeat leads to his final move: Van Nistelrooy's earth-shattering sword strike.

"Burn, my universe!"

Luffy shouted and charged towards Doflamingo.

The two figures moved rapidly inside the silk sphere, constantly colliding, separating, and colliding again.

Each collision was accompanied by a powerful energy surge and a deafening roar.

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

Luffy roared, his right fist radiating boundless light and power as he slammed it toward Doflamingo's chest.

Doflamingo was shocked when he saw Luffy's attack.

He tried to escape, but it was too late.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his silk armor to block Luffy's punch.

"Shield Black Line!"

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Luffy's fist slammed heavily into Doflamingo's chest.

The powerful force instantly pierced through Doflamingo's silk armor, sending his body flying.

Doflamingo's body arced through the air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the Thread Ball.

Blood kept gushing from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

Luffy looked at Doflamingo lying on the ground, but felt no joy whatsoever.

He knew that although he had won the battle, he had paid a heavy price.

His body was exhausted, and his inner strength and domineering aura were almost completely depleted.

He slowly walked to Doflamingo's side and looked at his disheveled appearance.

"Doflamingo, you lost."

Doflamingo looked at Luffy, the madness in his eyes gradually disappearing, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness.

He knew that he had lost, completely.

With his last ounce of strength, he said to Luffy, "Straw Hat Boy, you've won... but remember, this world... won't change because of my disappearance..."

After saying that, Doflamingo, whose red sunglasses were shattered, slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Holy crap, I was just saying, but Luffy actually did it."

Fanny's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Looking at Luffy, who was radiating a strange aura and had already entered Gear Fourth, he couldn't help but swear.

He secretly sighed to himself, "He really is the protagonist."

No matter how outrageous the ability, as long as you have a concept of it, you can learn it at a crucial moment.

Lillie looked bewildered, tilting her head with a look of confusion in her eyes.

He asked, "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her lips pursed, completely bewildered as to why Fanny was so shocked.

Fanny took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He explained, "This is a divine skill that can only be comprehended when one's combat experience, physical strength, and overall power reach their limits."

As he spoke, he gestured, waving his hands in the air, trying to make Lillie understand better.

"When you reach this level, all parts of your body can perceive the danger around you beyond instinct, and you no longer need your brain to think before you act."

At this point, a hint of awe appeared in Fanny's eyes: "It is called, the ultimate freedom."

After hearing this, Lillie pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Never mind, I didn't ask."

She gently shook her head, her expression suggesting that the topic was too complicated for her to understand.

Fanny ignored Lillie's reaction, his gaze sweeping around as his expression turned serious.

"Alright, everything's settled, it's time to wrap things up."

His tone carried an undeniable decisiveness.

Lillie raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and retorted, "Everything's been resolved, what business is it of yours?"

Fanny pointed around and said urgently, "Didn't you notice that the birdcage is still shrinking?"

Lillie looked around in confusion and said, puzzled, "Isn't Doflamingo lying down?"

Her eyes were filled with confusion; she couldn't understand why the birdcage was still shrinking.

Fanny patiently explained, "He is lying down, but his consciousness remains on the birdcage. That's the power of the Devil Fruit."

Lillie scoffed and said, "My old man said even dogs wouldn't eat Devil Fruits."

Her lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery in her smile.

Fanny's lips twitched slightly after hearing this, and he said helplessly, "I feel offended."

He shook his head with a wry smile, then took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll show you my strength then."

"The true protagonist always makes his appearance at the very last moment!"

As he spoke, Fanny threw out the Saint Cloth Stone in his hand.

A dazzling light emanated from his body, and the golden armor seemed to come alive, quickly covering his body.

Each scale on the Saint Cloth shimmered with golden light, radiating a powerful aura.

"Watch closely, I'll only perform once."

Fanny's voice was deep and powerful, full of confidence.

He slowly raised the longsword that had materialized in his hand, and the blade began to emit a golden light.

"Burn, my little universe!"

Fanny's voice resounded like a bell, his inner universe burning fiercely, golden flames rising around him.
