One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

The two fought once a year ago, and on the surface, no one was clear who won, but Doflamingo was still somewhat wary of them.

Besides this, Aaron's killing of several of his family's officials had thoroughly enraged him.

Doflamingo didn't hold back or test the waters; he immediately used his awakened skill.

"A desolate white line!"

Countless white lines surged up from the ground, like ocean waves, swirling and surging, enveloping Aaron.

Aaron's figure amidst the "waves" formed by these white lines resembled a lone boat that could sink at any moment.

Aaron used Moonwalk to move freely in mid-air, with Bai Lang in hot pursuit.

Bai Lang finally caught up with Aaron and closed in on him, intending to strangle him.

Doflamingo wasn't in a hurry; he simply moved his fingers, expending far less energy than Aaron did flying through the air.

In the instant he was distracted, Aaron's figure disappeared.

Doflamingo was startled. His eyes darted around behind his sunglasses, and his Observation Haki spread out in all directions.

The lines in the air lost their foundation, drifted down, and quickly merged back into the ground.

Doflamingo's Observation Haki was equally outstanding, and he quickly spotted Aaron's figure.

He turned his head sharply, but did not see Aaron.

Are you looking for me?

The sound came from behind his ear, and Doflamingo's hair stood on end.

Aaron's speed has exceeded the limits of his Observation Haki.

Even his eyes couldn't catch the afterimage of Aaron's movement.

Too fast! This battle won't be easy!

Doflamingo felt a tightness on the back of his head, his body sprang up, and he swung his hands violently.

"Shield White Line!"

A ball of flame landed on the shield made of white lines, but did not burn Doflamingo.

But he could still feel the intense heat and the terrifying energy contained within it.

A burnt smell reached my nose; the wire shield had been burned through a large hole!

Doflamingo frowned: "This isn't ordinary fire!"

Aaron laughed and asked, "How is it? How does it feel?"

Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, and his index fingers moved rapidly, silently cutting through the air with several lines.

Aaron raised his hand, and phoenix flames erupted from his body, enveloping him.

The flames were cut open and then randomly healed. Several lines were also burned through.

Doflamingo's forehead beaded with sweat. He knew that even if his String-String Fruit awakened, it still posed no threat to Aaron.

Fortunately, there's still the domineering aura.

Doflamingo possesses Conqueror's Haki, and his mastery of Observation Haki and Armament Haki is equally strong.

Unfortunately, as strong as it is, it has not yet reached its peak.

His Conqueror's Haki is only good for intimidation; it's far from being effective at entangling attacks.

Several more lines appeared in the air, but this time they were covered with Armament Haki, turning them black and resembling barbed wire.

"A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart - Feather Strike Line!"

Hundreds of lines formed a loop, encircling Aaron in the center from all sides.

The tips of these lines are also dark, turning purplish-red under the sunlight.

The dazzling light was equally awe-inspiring, and those around them gasped in surprise.

Doflamingo is confident that Aaron will definitely not be able to avoid this time!

Aaron did not dodge, because he did not dodge at all.

Aaron hardened his arms with Armament Haki to receive the attack.

Those dozens of sharp, hard lines, like arrowheads, desperately tried to burrow into Aaron's arm.

A sound that caused excruciating pain in the eardrums continued to ring, and countless sparks flew from Aaron's arm.

Under the intense collision, Doflamingo's arms, which had been exerting force continuously, began to feel sore and began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing that this tactic was also ineffective, Doflamingo was both angry and anxious, and began to mutter to himself.

This kid is much stronger than he was in Punk Hazard last time.

How could there be such great progress in just one year?

Moreover, he was clearly relaxed and at ease, and hadn't used his full strength yet.

Just then, Aaron smiled and said, "Doflamingo, are you out of energy?"

Doflamingo roared, "I haven't even used my full power yet!"

Aaron laughed, "That's for the best. Because I'm about to unleash my power."

"What?!"

Doflamingo knew things were going badly, and his techniques were already exhausted and he had no more options, so he had to withdraw his attacks and recharge.

Before he could even retract his hand, Aaron's fist had already moved.

Black and red lightning raged wildly, bursting with terrifying aura, twisting and passing through Doflamingo's body.

"Conqueror's Haki Enveloping!"

Doflamingo had witnessed the terrifying, world-destroying power of Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, which is why he was so afraid of him.

The Conqueror's Haki Entanglement was a skill he had longed for for many years but had never been able to master.

Aaron in front of me actually knows such a move?

Although it's a bit less powerful, it really works!

This is clearly a skill only a top-tier expert could use.

Even I can't do that!

This kid is so young, yet he's only a Rear Admiral in the Navy Headquarters. What makes him so special?

Doflamingo was unwilling to accept this.

Why is it that I, the noblest Celestial Dragon, am less talented than this ordinary Marine?

Doflamingo was terrified; this was Conqueror's Haki...

wrong!

Doflamingo realized what was happening.

How old is Aaron in front of us? In his early twenties, still very young. He's definitely only just begun to grasp the basics, and his abilities are limited.

Looking at myself, I awakened Conqueror's Haki when I was a teenager, and with Armament Haki and Observation Haki, I have been immersed in them for many years. How could I possibly be scared off by this amateurish Conqueror's Haki?

Doflamingo's mind raced, and with another movement of his hands, he unleashed his ultimate finishing move.

"16 Sacred Bombs - Divine Slaughter!"

Countless fine lines surged from the ground, forming 16 arm-thick bundles of threads, their tips still incredibly sharp. Covered in an aura of overwhelming power, they pierced towards Aaron.

"Be careful!"

A gasp escaped; it was Skylark.

She covered her mouth, her eyes trembling with fear and worry, unable to bear to look, yet her eyes widened in disbelief.

At the critical moment, Lark's heart clenched.

Aaron actually turned his head and smiled slightly at her.

Lark couldn't believe that Aaron, instead of focusing on the enemy, actually had the mind to laugh.

What is this?

Is it because they feel emboldened, or...?

Aaron turned around, still wearing a calm smile, squatted down slightly, and gently punched his fists to the sides.

"Click..."

Space shattered, and the atmosphere vibrated.

Those sixteen fierce-looking lines instantly dispersed into countless strands, drifting away in the wind caused by the tremors.

"puff!"

Doflamingo was injured by the shockwave, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Aaron was faster; he arrived before Doflamingo even landed.

Doflamingo's fists were instantly enveloped in Conqueror's Haki, and black and red lightning crackled as it struck Doflamingo's body.

Doflamingo tried his best to resist, but he was already powerless.
