One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

Doflamingo was very unhappy.

After the group of fugitives left, he had originally planned to see if there were any bargains he could find in Punk Hazard.

However, after wandering around the base for half a day, he only found some experimental subjects that the escaped convicts had rejected, which were completely useless.

As for technical information, there wasn't a single piece of it.

Chun Chun came here for a walk.

"Hey! Donquixote Doflamingo! What's he doing here?!"

Upon seeing Doflamingo, Caesar was startled and transformed into gas, darting behind Zephyr in a flash.

Caesar recognized the man before him. After all, he was the only one who dared to kidnap the Celestial Gold and threaten the World Government, thus becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He was an absolutely dangerous person!

After destroying some technical data, Caesar hid in the monitoring room, planning to run out and pretend to be innocent as soon as the navy arrived.

Fortunately, most of the surveillance Den Den Mushi (snail phones) were still asleep, and the people in the monitoring room had no idea what was happening outside.

That's why Caesar was completely unaware that Doflamingo was also in this base.

  

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Lieutenant General Simon instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are nominally legitimate pirates, and like the Navy, they are forces under the World Government.

But almost no navy would consider them one of their own.

Zephyr glanced at Doflamingo; he was well aware that the government had sent Doflamingo to provide support.

Noticing Doflamingo's disheveled appearance, Zephyr's eyes narrowed slightly. "Doflamingo, you've fought them?"

"Fufufufu, I really tried my best to stop them!"

Doflamingo shrugged. "But there's nothing I can do. They outnumber us, and I can't stop them."

Knight's lips curled up slightly.

Indeed, when you're out and about, you earn your own respect.

"How long have they been gone?"

Zefa immediately pressed, "Which direction did they leave in?"

"Hey, Black Arm Zephyr,"

Doflamingo chuckled, "That's not the attitude you should have when asking for a favor."

"Doflamingo, do you think I'm joking with you?"

Zefa's right fist was clenched, tiny black arcs of electricity crackling around it, and his expression, like his tone, had become icy cold.

"Fuck, that's scary!"

Doflamingo continued to chuckle strangely, "Alright, I don't mind telling you. They've been gone for at least two hours, haven't they? And their direction should be northeast, no doubt."

Since this Black Arm Zephyr also wants to chase after that group, then of course I, Doflamingo, should lend a hand.

Fufufufu.

"etc!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

The pale-faced Brigadier General Dol stared intently at Doflamingo. "You said they've been gone for over two hours. Why didn't you notify the government during that time? And what were you doing on Punk Hazard?"

Knight's droopy eyelids lifted slightly.

This woman is quite perceptive.

Indeed, on the surface, Doflamingo is the only one who knows that the fugitives have actually left.

But he didn't notify anyone and sneaked out of the research base center, which seemed very suspicious.

Zephyr's eyes grew even colder. "Doflamingo, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

"Fufufufu, explain?"

Doflamingo didn't seem to care about Zephyr's reaction, maintaining his nonchalant attitude as he chuckled and said, "It's just helping to find survivors. I wasn't originally obligated to do that. I think you, the Marines, should be thanking me properly, Zephyr."

"This foolish woman is an example of repaying kindness with enmity."

This guy is such a show-off.

Knight sighed inwardly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a former general.

As he was thinking this, Knight casually grabbed Dol's head.

"Knight?"

Dor was a little confused, wondering what Knight was up to.

Knight yanked, and a thread snapped in two.

"this--"

Dor was slightly taken aback.

silk?

What is this?

"They dared to attack me right in front of me; I'm really being looked down upon."

Knight spoke calmly.

Doflamingo's upturned lips suddenly turned downwards, but he still smiled. "Fufufufu, you're a very perceptive brat. But what are you saying? I don't understand."

Dol's eyes flickered slightly. So, it was this Shichibukai who attacked him? Or was it Knight who protected him?

"Doflamingo, you're asking for it!"

Zephyr is enraged!

"Fufufufu, wanna give it a try? Black Arm Zephyr,"

But Doflamingo didn't care at all, and even opened his arms to Zeff, saying, "Come on, go ahead and attack me!"

Zefa did hesitate.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are legal pirates, theoretically an organization on par with the Marine Headquarters, directly subordinate to the World Government. To take action against them requires—

The ground is cracked.

A figure flashed in front of Doflamingo like a phantom.

Doflamingo's eyes behind his sunglasses suddenly narrowed.

He saw a fist.

A pitch-black fist, wreathed in surging energy.

"A serious punch."

A fist slammed down.

Doflamingo only had time to cross his arms and wrap them with Haki for defense.

boom!

The air suddenly exploded, instantly creating a vacuum zone.

In the center of this vacuum zone, Doflamingo was blasted away like a cannonball.

A human-shaped hole was pierced through the wall at the end of the corridor ahead, and then he continued forward, forward, forward, crashing through countless walls.

Only then did the surging waves explode, and the fierce shockwave swept across the passage.

"Wow!"

Caught off guard, Caesar was even blown into a cloud of gas.

"Knight?"

Zefa opened his mouth, "So sudden?"

Knight, who had sent Doflamingo flying with a single punch, turned around and lazily scratched the back of his head. "He said he'd do anything to me, which is an outrageous request, but I'm a kind person, so what can I do?"

"..."

The officers were completely stunned.

There is only one exception.

"Pfft—hahahaha!"

Brigadier General Dole couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the laughter brought a bit of color to her pale face. "You're right, Knight, that bastard deserves a beating!"

Is Knight standing up for me?

This guy seems indifferent to everything, but actually, he has a passionate heart.

Dor watched Knight.

Knight noticed her gaze.

But I didn't pay attention.

because.

"You brat! You're asking for it!!"

The ground was undulating, and the walls were twisting.

Everything instantly turned into white threads, sweeping directly towards the crowd.

"Doflamingo, what do you want to do?!"

Zefa roared angrily.

"Teacher Zephyr, please let me play with him."

Knight flicked a strand of hair from his forehead, his sleepy expression turning sharp. "Perfect, let's test my current limits."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "You brat—whatever."

Doflamingo is incredibly audacious, but Knight is no less so.

"Go ahead and do it. I'll protect everyone."

That's what Zefa said.

Anyway, he'll cover for me.

"learn."

Knight sprang into the air instantly, unleashing a "Storm Kick!"

With the addition of flowing Armament Haki, a massive slash gleaming with a dark blue light suddenly shot into the sky, instantly severing all the threads that swept down like a tsunami.

Knight seized this opportunity to rise to prominence.

Doflamingo activated his Awakening, turning everything around him into threads.

So the rocks, soil, trees, and flowers above the base had all disappeared. Knight soared into the air and looked down at the surging sea of ​​silk threads below.

It has to be said that the awakening of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits is quite spectacular. I wonder what my Dream-Dream Fruit will look like when it awakens.

"You brat!"

Not far away in the sky, Doflamingo stood on the crest of a wave in the Sea of ​​Threads, "You really dared to do that! Have you thought about how you're going to die?"

"You think you can take it?"

Knight gave a dismissive smile. "A mere Shichibukai, aren't you overestimating yourself?"

"Ugh! Seriously, it's been a long time since I've met someone who's made me so angry I don't even know what to say!"

Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, and he laughed angrily, "Who do you think I am?!"

hum! !

The raging Conqueror's Haki instantly transformed into a raging storm, crashing straight towards Knight like a tidal wave.

Knight simply tilted his head slightly. "That's it?"

hum!

The same ferocious, no, even more ferocious Conqueror's Haki roared out, colliding fiercely with Doflamingo's Haki.

At the moment the two forces collided, jet-black, domineering lightning bolts leaped everywhere!

Moreover, after a brief stalemate, Knight's momentum clearly overwhelmed Doflamingo, and he crushed him relentlessly.

"What?!"

Doflamingo's hair was deformed by Knight's aura, but his face was even more deformed, showing only disbelief.

Conqueror's Haki?

And it's this level of Conqueror's Haki!

Who exactly is this brat?!

The attack that left his arm trembling was already impressive, but it also had this level of Conqueror's Haki!

He looks only seventeen or eighteen years old!

Below, Zephyr, who had unleashed his domineering aura to protect everyone, nodded slightly.

Although Conqueror's Haki cannot be trained, it can only be improved through the enhancement of the user's spirit and strength.

However, this does not mean that people with the same strength will necessarily have the same level of Conqueror's Haki.

Knight is a genius whose innate domineering aura far surpasses that of ordinary people!

The same applies to Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and naturally, Conqueror's Haki is the same!

"Such a level of boldness,"

Knight scoffed, "You dare to make a fool of yourself?"

"You brat!"

Doflamingo is definitely not laughing anymore.

Why do I keep running into such young monsters today?!

There's one fugitive on the side, and now another one has appeared on the navy side!

Doflamingo, who was already burning with anger, could no longer contain himself.

"A giant white line!"

Endless threads converged into a giant wave, sweeping towards Knight.

"Too slow, Moonwalk - Instant!"

Knight moved through the air as if teleporting, easily dodging the giant waves of silk threads, and headed straight for Doflamingo.

"You naive brat!"

Doflamingo simply raised his hand, and endless threads gathered, forming a huge curtain in front of Knight that enveloped him.

"Storm Kick!"

Knight simply unleashed a vacuum wave, severing the silken wall in two.

Doflamingo gritted his teeth slightly.

That red dragon woman was incredibly strong, but her weakness was that she lacked domineering presence.

This kid is incredibly domineering and ridiculously strong!

However, this kid doesn't have the same exaggerated destructive power as that woman; he can still hold his own!

In his awakened state, Doflamingo can control an infinite number of threads, and endless threads surge up in an instant, constantly wrapping around Knight.

Knight was extremely annoyed and unleashed several more Tempest Kicks, but they only temporarily blocked the threads before attacking again the next second.

"In that case, I'll show you something interesting."

One side of Knight's mouth.

The next moment, his body became somewhat illusory.

As he launched himself forward, a large number of dark shadows scattered from his body!

"What?!"

Doflamingo's eyes widened.

In an instant, hundreds of those little devils filled the sky and shot towards him from all directions.

"Ability user?"

This kid is also a power user?

Do you have a clone?

The thought vanished in an instant, as a thread wrapped around a figure, but the thread passed right through it.

"It was just an illusion!"

Doflamingo immediately sneered, "What's the use of that!"

Observation color—

"What?"

Doflamingo's expression suddenly changed.

below.

"What?"

Dol was taken aback. "Knight is actually an ability user?"

"Um?"

Zephyr was somewhat surprised. "Didn't I say that?"

"Never!"

Major General Marcus was somewhat speechless.

"There's not much to say."

Zephyr shook his head. "Nate's ability is to create illusions and sounds, which is useless against enemies who have mastered Observation Haki."

"Professor Zephyr, are you sure that's how it is?"

Simon swallowed hard. "How come I just can't tell the difference at all?"

"What?"

Zepha was startled, then suddenly looked up and subconsciously released his Observation Haki.

Then, he froze.

Those hundreds of Knight illusions all exuded the same aura as Knight!

this!!

Has Knight's abilities been developed to a new stage?

Doflamingo was sweating profusely and couldn't tell which one was the kid's real body!

Since that's the case, there's no need to distinguish between them.

"Thousand Feathers Piercing the Heart - Feather Strike Line!"

Endless threads rose up, forming hundreds of jet-black thread spears in mid-air, which simultaneously pierced towards Knight's phantom clones.

However, at that very moment, even more illusions appeared, and the silk thread spears were simply not enough.

Many illusions were pierced, but even more illusions were already surrounding Doflamingo.

"Damn it! It's worse than a whiplash!"

Doflamingo brandished his silken whip, attempting to dispel the illusions.

Suddenly, the silk whip was pulled.

Doflamingo turned around in horror.

Behind?

"A serious punch."

Because there was no longer any concern about damaging the base, the domineering aura surrounding this punch became even more surging and powerful.

boom!

The sky exploded as Doflamingo's body transformed into a black line, suddenly piercing through the sky, with sonic boom clouds even swirling around him.
