One point Ace believes Doflamingo made a lot of points: One Piece is definitely not a child's game.

So when Nock suggested they team up to take down Doflamingo, he didn't hesitate at all.

After all, they're pirates! What's with all this talk of chivalry and honor?

He didn't have a choice before, but now, all he wants is to gang up on others!

...

Noc and Ace exchanged a glance.

Without needing any further words, the two figures disappeared from the spot at the same time.

shave!

Firelight and mist mingled, like two deadly arrows shooting at Doflamingo from both directions simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right.

Doflamingo grinned and suddenly spread his arms wide to the sides. Countless white lines surged and intertwined around him to form an impenetrable wall of lines—the Shield White Lines.

Nock's blade struck the wall of wires, sparks flying. The second-generation Kitetsu's sharpness severed a dozen wires, but more immediately filled the gap, writhing like living things and biting into his blade.

Ace's fiery fist slammed into the wall of wires, causing flames to explode and burning a gap in the wall. However, even more wires surged up, blocking the gap.

"Fluffy fluffy..." Doflamingo's laughter came from behind the wire wall. "Is that all you've got?"

Nock did not answer. His body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of mist that seeped into the cracks in the wire wall. Those wires could block knives and fire, but they could not block the invisible mist.

Doflamingo's pupils contracted slightly.

The mist recombines behind him, Nock's figure emerges, he raises the Second Generation Kitetsu high, Armament Haki swirling around him, Ryuo flowing, and slashes down!

Doflamingo didn't turn around. His fingers twitched slightly, and the threads behind him automatically coalesced, forming a small thread shield the instant the blade fell.

clang!

Noc's sword cleaved through the shield, and Doflamingo staggered forward, a stream of blood spurting from his back. He turned around and flicked five transparent lines with his fingers, the five-colored lines aimed straight at Noc's face.

Flames descended from the sky.

Ace's fiery fist slammed down from above, forcing Doflamingo to retract his attack. Doflamingo then swung his five-colored threads upwards, slicing the fiery fist into several pieces. But the flames that had been cut did not dissipate; instead, they continued forward like living things, enveloping his entire body.

"Fire Daruma!"

Ace clasped his hands together, and specks of firefly light gathered around Doflamingo, then suddenly condensed into a giant fireball, causing the temperature to rise wildly and distorting the air.

Doflamingo grunted, unleashing the full power of his String-String Fruit ability. Countless white threads surged from beneath his feet, erupting upwards like a fountain, tearing the fireball apart from the inside. Flames scattered and landed on the surrounding buildings, igniting a sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the smoke of battle, Nock's figure reappeared.

This time, he didn't use a knife. He raised his left hand, and the high-temperature steam in the air condensed, compressed, and spun wildly, forming a high-speed flowing vortex of water. At the same time, the Hardening Fruit ability was activated, and a faint luster appeared on the surface of the water.

Fishman Karate - High Temperature Hardening - Ocean Current Tsunami!

He thrust out with his left hand, and a huge wave erupted, like a moving wall of water, crushing towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo had no time to dodge. White lines surged from beneath his feet, and countless white lines converged into a giant wave that collided head-on with Nocturne's water wall.

boom--!

Water and thread, two giant waves collided, exploding into a cloud of water mist and shattering the thread. The ground cracked, debris flew everywhere, and the shockwave spread in all directions, even hurling distant rocks into the air.

Doflamingo swayed and took a half step back. He gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead almost burst.

Nock also took a half step back, but the corners of his mouth were turned up.

"Ace!"

"They're here!"

Flames blasted in from the side, and Doflamingo had no time to defend himself. He was hit head-on by the fire fist, and his body flew out like a cannonball, smashing straight through two walls before finally embedding itself in a rubble.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Ace was panting heavily, the flames on his fists still burning. "Is he dead?"

"No." Nock stared at the ruins.

Gravel rolled down the ruins, and a hand emerged from the rubble, followed by Doflamingo himself. Half of his pink feathered coat was charred, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was covered in bruises, but the light in his eyes was brighter and more frenzied than before.

"Foo foo foo... foo foo foo..."

He laughed so hard he was shaking, like a madman.

"Interesting...really interesting..."

Shadow Rider Line!

The next moment, Doflamingo waved his hands, and the white lines on the ground surged wildly, coalescing into human figures that looked exactly like him, wearing pink feather coats, sunglasses, and his signature smile.

One, two, four, eight...

Then they charged towards Nocturne and Ace together.

Nock didn't waste any words.

shave!

His figure vanished from the spot, and the Second Generation Kitetsu drew an arc, slashing at the nearest clone. As the blade sliced ​​through, the clone instantly split in the middle, turning into a pile of broken threads scattered on the ground.

The second clone rushed forward, but Nok sidestepped it and slashed it in half with a backhand strike.

The third, the fourth—

His speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it. Every strike he made was precise, hitting the vital points of his clones one by one, without any hesitation.

The same thing happened to Ace. He unleashed a fiery fist, engulfing one clone in flames and burning it to ashes. His other fist slammed into the second clone, shattering it completely.

In less than thirty seconds, all eight clones were wiped out, but it was precisely during the opportunity that the two were delayed by the clones that they managed to eliminate them.

Doflamingo stood at the very back. Taking advantage of the moment, he spread his fingers, and countless white lines instantly surged from the ground around Noc, rushing towards Noc from all directions at the same time.

A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart - Feather Strike - Thread!

Nok's Observation Haki went into overdrive, and he tried to turn into mist to escape, but there were just too many threads, covering the entire space. His body was hit by countless threads at the same time, and he could only cover his entire body with Armament Haki, but he was still sent flying backward like he was being charged by a bison, smashing through the wall behind him and getting buried in the rubble.

"Noc!" Ace roared, and flames erupted, burning all the surrounding wires to ashes.

Unable to pursue Nocturne, Doflamingo turned to Ace, waving his hands again, and white lines surged from the ground, rushing towards Ace like waves.

Ace charged forward recklessly.

Flames burned on his body as he punched Doflamingo in the face. Doflamingo dodged to the side, and five-colored threads shot out from his fingertips, slicing towards Ace's throat. Ace leaned back, flames erupting from his feet, and his right leg shot up like a rocket, delivering a flying knee strike to Doflamingo's chin.

boom!

Doflamingo was knocked back, taking a step back, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Before he could regain his footing, Ace's fists came crashing down again—left hook, right hook, uppercut, each punch carrying flames, each punch landing on Doflamingo's body!
