One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The atmosphere inside the arena froze instantly.

Although the surrounding audience couldn't hear what they were saying, the tense atmosphere was obvious to everyone.

The two powerful figures faced off in this small arena, and the invisible pressure they exuded made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Doflamingo stared at Roy, a smile playing on his lips.

That smile held a mix of provocation, excitement, and an unspoken anticipation.

"Roy, there's no time like the present."

"Right now?"

Roy glanced at him and said indifferently,

"No rush."

"Tell me first, what exactly do you want to do?"

"After lying in wait for five days, they suddenly showed up today, just to start a fight?"

Doflamingo chuckled.

"Of course, it's not just about fighting a single match."

"Fighting is just a way to prove your strength."

"After we've proven it, we can talk about cooperation."

"That way, you can rest assured, and I can feel at ease too."

Roy looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.

Then, I laughed.

"Doflamingo, you're quite honest."

"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

"Let's have a fight and see how much you've improved in the last two years."

"Then, let's talk about cooperation."

A glint of light flashed in Doflamingo's eyes.

"good!"

"Then—"

Before he could finish speaking, Tezzolo suddenly spoke up.

"Boss, be careful."

"That guy is really cunning."

Roy waved his hand.

"rest assured."

"He can't cause any trouble."

Doflamingo wasn't annoyed; he just smiled wryly.

"Mr. Tezzolo, rest assured, I am sincere this time."

"after all--"

He paused.

"Partnering with Beehive Island would also benefit me."

There's no need to resort to any tricks.

Tezzolo snorted but didn't reply.

Roy stood up and straightened his robes.

"Let's go."

"Let's find a place."

Doflamingo nodded and turned to walk out of the arena.

The Don Quixote family's officers followed closely behind.

Roy and Tezzolo walked behind.

The group left the arena, crossed the streets of Dressrosa, and headed out of the city.

The people along the way gave way, their eyes filled with awe.

Soon, they arrived at an open space outside the city.

This place is far from the city and deserted, perfect for taking action.

Doflamingo stopped, turned around, and looked at Roy.

"This is fine."

Roy glanced around and nodded.

"Can."

Tesoro stood warily to the side, his body crackling with lightning.

The Don Quixote family's officers also dispersed, each taking up advantageous positions.

Doflamingo took off his feather coat and casually tossed it to Trebol.

He stretched his shoulders and twisted his neck, a fierce fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Captain Roy—"

Please enlighten me.

As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers twitched slightly.

Invisible threads shot out from his fingertips in an instant, wrapping around Roy!

Five-colored thread!

Five nearly transparent threads, like five sharp blades, cut from different angles!

That speed was as fast as lightning!

That angle was incredibly tricky!

Roy stood still, motionless.

Just as the silk thread was about to touch him—

He turned slightly to the side.

The five-colored threads grazed his body, leaving five deep furrows in the ground behind him!

"Good speed."

Roy said calmly,

"But it's not fast enough."

Doflamingo chuckled.

"This is just the appetizer!"

He moved both hands simultaneously, his ten fingers flying across the page!

Countless threads shot out from his fingertips, covering Roy in a massive, overwhelming manner!

Wild white lines!

Thousands upon thousands of threads surged forth like ocean waves, threatening to engulf Roy!

Roy remained motionless.

He simply raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly curled.

Psycho-Fist Fruit, activate!

An invisible field of psychic energy unfolded in front of him, and the surging threads all stopped less than a meter away from him!

It felt like I'd run into an invisible wall!

"What?!"

Doflamingo's pupils constricted!

He knew Roy's Nen Fruit was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful!

The desolate white line that he had activated with all his might couldn't even get close!

"Fizz...Wow, that's amazing!"

Doflamingo laughed and clenched his fists tightly!

Those threads that were blocked by the psychic field instantly changed shape!

They intertwined, tangled, and coalesced, transforming into dozens of thick, white spears!

Then--

Thrust down hard!

"Super Strike: White Thread Spear!"

Boom boom boom—!!!

Dozens of spears thrust wildly, each strike carrying enough power to pierce steel!

But Roy's psychic field remained completely still.

Those spears, when they pierced the psychic field, could only create invisible ripples; they couldn't penetrate it at all!

"this one?"

Roy said calmly,

"Doflamingo, if this is all you've got, then there's no point in fighting."

A ruthless glint flashed in Doflamingo's eyes.

"Fuchu...don't rush!"

"This is just the beginning!"

He took a deep breath and suddenly opened his arms wide!

Conqueror's Haki erupted with a thunderous roar!

Dark red arcs of electricity danced around him, and an invisible sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire open space!

The Don Quixote family's officers all changed their expressions!

"Dover is serious!"

"Conqueror's Haki! Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki has gotten stronger again!"

Tesoro also frowned slightly.

That domineering aura is indeed formidable.

Although he can't compare to the boss, he's already strong enough to challenge some of the stronger players.

A hint of admiration flashed in Roy's eyes.

"It's been two years, and your domineering aura has certainly improved a lot."

"but--"

"It's still not enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy unleashed his Conqueror's Haki!

boom--!!!

Two powerful colors of Conqueror's Haki collide head-on!

Dark red arcs of electricity danced wildly in the air, like countless mad snakes writhing in chaos!

The surrounding ground was shattered into pieces!

The air itself was trembling!

The Don Quixote family's officers were hit by the shockwave and retreated in all directions!

Torrepol's snot was even shaken off, and he looked utterly pathetic!

Diamanti's hat flew off, and his face turned ashen!

Vergo gritted his teeth and held on with all his might!

Only Tesoro remained standing firmly in place, protected by lightning, completely unharmed.

Doflamingo's expression changed drastically!

He could feel that his Conqueror's Haki was being suppressed little by little by Roy's Conqueror's Haki!

That oppressive feeling, that imposing aura, that power that seemed capable of crushing everything—

too strong!

So strong it's despair-inducing!

"Fufufu...fufufu..."

Doflamingo smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

But soon, that bitterness turned into madness.

"Roy! You're really strong!"

"but--"

"I haven't lost yet!"

Doflamingo slammed his hands on the ground, activating his Devil Fruit power!

As he moved, the solid ground rippled, centered on his hands.

The ground that was originally just a new factory has turned into a sea of ​​white threads!

"Awaken!"

Doflamingo gestured, and a massive white wave surged wildly toward Roy!

That white wave was made up of countless threads, each one as sharp as a knife!

That speed was astonishing!

That power was enough to overwhelm everything!

Roy's pupils finally contracted slightly.

"Awakening..."

"Is this what fruit awakening is?"
