Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Raleigh told Miles to move away.

Miles is still too weak; he can't participate in battles of this intensity.

After stretching his body casually, Raleigh looked at Doflamingo across from him.

Doflamingo was also carefully observing Raleigh opposite him.

He never fights a battle unprepared, especially not against this man who claims to be the Vice Admiral of the North Sea.

Doflamingo knew about the North Blue's naval strength.

The position of vice admiral requires at least the rank of commodore, but he was not afraid.

Because he had no idea how to spell the word "fear".

However, Doflamingo observed carefully for a while but still couldn't find any flaws in Raleigh's appearance.

After finishing his activity, Raleigh turned around and said:

"Doflamingo, if you're not prepared to take this beating, you can choose to surrender."

Raleigh's words directly angered Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, who was already very angry, stood on end with his short blond hair after hearing this.

"You damned bastard, I'll kill you!"

"String-String Fruit - Super Whip!"

Doflamingo stretched his right hand back slightly, as if gathering power.

Then dozens of transparent threads gushed out from his palms and, under his control, intertwined into a relatively thick column of threads.

Doflamingo was very confident in the sharpness of the threads.

He believed that nothing could stop his incredibly sharp needles.

"Damn it, just break it in two!"

呲!

A sharp, explosive sound suddenly filled the air.

That was the sound of air being cut by something sharp.

To Doflamingo, this was a beautiful sound, and the appearance of this sound meant that the enemy in front of him would be cut apart by the power of the Devil Fruit.

For the enemy, however, it is the call of death.

Raleigh stood still, but the building behind him suddenly cracked open.

An extremely thin but clearly visible cut appeared on the building.

Then, to the disbelief of the navy personnel...

The three-story building had a smooth cross-section neatly cut along that line.

The upper part of the building slid downwards due to gravity, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Rumble!

clang!

In Doflamingo's incredulous gaze.

A crisp sound indicated that his attack had been blocked.

Raleigh stood there, looking rather lazy.

His hands were casually tucked into his pockets, but the thick, hair-like thread was firmly wedged into his arm.

Sparks flew from the impact, but the sparks could not sever Raleigh's body.

"That's impossible!"

The members of the Don Quixote family shouted.

They knew Doflamingo's strength; with his Devil Fruit powers, almost nothing could stop him.

They had witnessed Doflamingo's actions on several occasions during their turf wars in the North Sea against the Mafia.

Whether it's a sturdy shield or a sharp sword, nothing can withstand the cuts of Doflamingo's threads.

They implicitly agreed that there was nothing in this world that Doflamingo couldn't cut.

However, this unknown navy officer easily withstood the attack with his physical strength.

It's simply unbelievable.

Even Doflamingo himself, who was using his abilities, was quite surprised.

He knew how sharp the silk threads he used at full power were; even a warship made of steel would have difficulty resisting them.

Why?

Although Doflamingo didn't understand, he still made his own judgment.

He quickly retracted his silk threads, carefully protecting himself.

Raleigh shrugged:

"Why? It's probably because you're too weak; you don't even know Armament Haki."

Just as the threads were about to cut through Raleigh's body, Raleigh covered his arms with Armament Haki.

The intense friction between the threads and the Armament Haki covering them was as hard as iron.

"Impressive... I never thought Beihai would have a master like you."

Doflamingo is a former Celestial Dragon who spent a long time on the Grand Line.

Naturally, they wouldn't be like Miles, who had never seen such a domineering presence.

However, he was still very surprised as to why there was a person named Luo Li in Beihai.

In the almost demented eyes of the Don Quixote family members.

Raleigh beckoned to Doflamingo:

"Kid, do you have any other moves you can use?"

"Stop looking down on me."

Doflamingo no longer cared about the gap between himself and Raleigh; his only thought was to let this arrogant Marine know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"String-String Fruit - Snap Strings!"

Doflamingo spread his index finger and aimed it at Raleigh.

"You should just die, you damned navy!"

A thread with a sharp point emerged from Doflamingo's index finger and flew toward Raleigh faster than a bullet.

Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle...!

This attack was twice as fast as the previous one.

However, the trajectory of the movement was still clearly visible to Raleigh using his Observation Haki.

He tilted his head slightly to the right, and the white line flew down Raleigh's cheek.

It only stopped after piercing through five buildings in a row.

"Hey kid. You're moving way too slowly, I'm about to fall asleep."

Raleigh was very dissatisfied with Doflamingo's level; he thought it would give him some excitement.

Little did they know, his current stats were practically unstoppable in Beihai.

Now, apart from Raleigh, Doflamingo wouldn't easily lose to either Gion or Kake.

They might even be able to turn the tables and kill their opponent by relying on the power of their Devil Fruits.

"Thread Fruit—Five-Colored Threads!"

Seeing that his ranged attacks were ineffective, Doflamingo boldly moved closer to Raleigh.

The five-colored thread is his strongest close-combat technique.

Instantly, a transparent thread appeared on each of Doflamingo's right fingers.

Under his control, it transformed into the shape of a beast's claw, much like a wire.

"Go to hell!"

Doflamingo became ruthless, his eyes filled with bloodlust and a murderous desire.

In the past, when Doflamingo used this move, it was either with swords or steel armor.

They can cut through anything as easily as slicing tofu with a knife.

However, the five threads were now firmly held in Raleigh's hand and could not move at all.

Raleigh's right hand had long since turned purplish-black.

"Is this Armament Haki?"

Doflamingo felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Even he found it extremely difficult to deal with an enemy whose defenses were impenetrable.

However, his headache soon stopped, and his face started to hurt instead.

"Come here!"

Having already grasped the silk thread, Raleigh exerted his strength and pulled Doflamingo, who was four or five meters away from him, towards him.

The other iron fist was already prepared to meet Doflamingo's little face.
