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

Doflamingo, whose attacks had repeatedly failed, finally snapped.

The Conqueror's Haki that already permeated the surroundings erupted once more.

Powerful bolts of red and black lightning swept across the entire battlefield.

Doflamingo's body was like a demon, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The lightning-like surge of Conqueror's Haki slapped against Raleigh's body and cheeks.

However, it did not cause any harm.

"So it turns out that Conqueror's Haki can be enhanced even when it's close to its limit."

"However, it's probably that brat Doflamingo who wants to kill me. If I beat him up badly, his Conqueror's Haki might weaken."

Raleigh thought of the people who came after him.

Some people never give up, even when defeated, and end up getting stronger with each battle.

However, most people who possess Conqueror's Haki follow the path of invincibility. Once they lose, their Conqueror's Haki will decline uncontrollably.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why does this feel like a cultivation novel?"

Raleigh's thinking is very jumpy.

He combined Conqueror's Haki, the power of the mind, and the invincible Dao Heart from cultivation novels.

hiss!

Raleigh seems to have discovered something incredible.

His gaze shifted repeatedly before settling on Doflamingo, whose face was filled with hatred.

This thing suddenly seems to have some research value.

Raleigh originally just came to see Doflamingo and maybe beat him up.

It seems that if one wants to study Conqueror's Haki...

The only way is through Doflamingo.

There aren't many people in the Navy, or even in the North Sea, who possess Conqueror's Haki.

Most users of Conqueror's Haki are concentrated in the New World.

Raleigh has no interest in going to the New World right now.

Therefore, Doflamingo became the only target that could be studied.

Doflamingo stared coldly at the humanoid monster before him.

I have no idea what Raleigh is thinking.

But his eyes were clearly strange.

From the very beginning, it was all just casualness.

Now I have developed a strong interest in myself.

Although Doflamingo didn't know what he was thinking, it was definitely not a good thing.

"That's enough, kid. I'm not interested in playing house with you anymore."

Raleigh was getting a little impatient.

Doflamingo's identity is unimportant to him, since he's not afraid of the World Government or the Celestial Dragons anyway.

The reason he's in the Navy is all because of the system and Borsalino.

As long as you don't kill him, it's fine.

"I am... Donquixote Doflamingo!!!"

Doflamingo, who had been humiliated by Raleigh for half a day, forcibly activated the power within his body.

Blood seeped from both palms and dripped onto the ground.

One by one, silver-gray threads, still bearing traces of blood, appeared from Doflamingo's hand.

"String-String Fruit - Suppresses Rogue Strings!"

Doflamingo raised his injured left hand high, and the five thin threads from before instantly shot into the sky.

As he gestured, the thin line changed its trajectory in response to his movements.

Doflamingo pressed down heavily with his left hand.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

A sharp, explosive sound rang out.

The forked threads falling from the sky, like divine punishment, covered the area in front of, behind, to the left and right of Raleigh.

hiss!

The extremely sharp tips of the forked threads pierced through Raleigh's body and the earth without any obstruction.

They only stopped after going dozens of meters underground.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Doflamingo cautiously observed Raleigh, who had been hit by the Rogue Line.

"That should solve it, right?"

Doflamingo certainly didn't believe he could kill Raleigh.

However, he was confident in the sharpness of his rogue's line, believing it could penetrate Raleigh and cause harm.

He could then run away with Torrepol and the others.

As for whether to stay in Beihai or not, we'll see.

The most important question now is, just how badly was Raleigh injured by him?

Human nature is not very clear in the smoke, so Doflamingo waits.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Doflamingo's short hair.

At the same time, it gently blows away the dust.

The sight that was revealed excited Doflamingo.

It was a strong figure, frozen in time as he ran at high speed.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the forked threads stuck in his body.

"Fufufufufu. I won! I won!!!"

Doflamingo laughed maniacally when he saw Raleigh leave the field.

He could certainly sense that Raleigh's life hadn't ended, but he saw that the forked thread had pierced through Raleigh's chest.

In this situation, as long as one is afraid of being cut in half by the silk thread, one will absolutely not act rashly.

"Fufufufufu, I am the victor in this battle after all!"

Doflamingo's expression had completely gone mad; he had never been so excited before.

It's really interesting to be able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

until......

A tall figure blocked the sun behind him.

"Hey kid, what are you laughing at?"

Doflamingo did not answer, but immediately swung the super strong steel wire that he had prepared in his right hand behind him.

"String-String Fruit—surpasses the Whiplash!"

Five super-strong steel wires were twisted into a relatively thick steel rope in Doflamingo's palm.

It is shorter than the Super Whip.

However, its attack speed is twice as fast.

Doflamingo reacted quickly, but someone reacted even faster.

A ruthless hand grabbed his short blond hair and slammed him hard into the ground.

boom!

The impact, comparable to that of a cannonball, left Doflamingo momentarily stunned upon contact with the ground.

The once hard bluestone slabs beneath their feet were instantly shattered.

A pit three meters in diameter formed beneath their feet, with countless cracks creating a spiderweb-like pattern.

Doflamingo's attack was not without effect.

However, the incident happened so suddenly that his all-out burst of energy did not seriously injure Raleigh.

Even with its sharp point, the whip still managed to penetrate Raleigh's Armament Haki defense.

Raleigh was left with a wound less than two centimeters deep on his waist.

The price was that Doflamingo almost died on the spot.

Raleigh picked Doflamingo up.

Doflamingo, who was only a teenager, had his sunglasses fall off, revealing his eyes, which were already turning white.

(Their eyes are the same as Rosinandi's, all inherited from their mother.)

My mind went blank; I seemed to have suffered a severe concussion.

"Put our king down, you lowly commoner!"

Without Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki, the Donquixote Family members, who had been suppressed, charged forward like madmen.

"Sticky Fruit - Sticky Chains"

Trebol made the first move, his attack having cushioned the impact of Doflamingo being sent flying.

The current tactic is to trap Raleigh and rescue Doflamingo from his clutches.

Raleigh tried to dodge the disgusting attack, but the ground beneath his feet suddenly changed shape.

Suddenly, the terrain turned into a swamp, causing his legs to sink deep into the mud.

"Give the young master back!"

A sharp female voice came from underground.

Raleigh's ears were ravaged.
