"What's wrong, Doflamingo? Is this all you've got?!"
"Is this all the strength you have if you don't use those underhanded tricks?!"
Zefa, exuding a powerful aura and killing intent, stared at the rubble-covered area ahead and said coldly.
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
From within the rubble, Doflamingo's sinister, mocking laughter echoed, "Seastone weapons specifically designed to counter Devil Fruit users, huh? They are indeed far more effective than Haki!"
"But Zephyr, you're not the Black Arm General you were at your peak over a decade ago, and I'm not the same person I was back then either. With that thing... do you really think you can kill me?!"
As Doflamingo finished speaking, the area of rubble, including the ground and the mountain wall behind him, all turned into white threads that continued to spread outwards. Doflamingo, wearing a pink feather coat, with blood flowing from his forehead and mouth, and covered in wounds, stood among them, like a king who controlled this world of white threads.
Zephyr narrowed his eyes: "The awakening of a Devil Fruit, huh... It seems that's your greatest source of confidence."
"Fufufu." Doflamingo looked up at him, laughing maniacally, "Come and fight, Zephyr, today it's either you or me who dies..."
Zefa grinned: "Just what I wanted!"
Swish!
Almost simultaneously, the two figures vanished from their original positions.
"Big wave and white line!"
"Crushing Fist!"
Zephyr's giant crusher, hardened with Armament Haki, and Doflamingo's attack, hardened with Armament Haki, collided like black waves.
Zizizi!
With a violent shockwave, the ground around the two was ripped apart, and howling winds blew away distant houses, shattering all the glass within a radius of dozens of miles.
The earth is shaking!
158, Doflamingo gets brutally beaten
The shockwave sent Rebecca clenching Cyrus's arm to keep herself from being blown away.
The sea of flowers in the flower field was blown away, petals danced in the air, and some flowers and plants were even blown up by their roots.
Just as the shockwave and gale were about to dissipate, another deafening roar came from below, shaking the earth and the hill.
call!
Another incredibly fierce gust of wind howled in.
Rebecca, already sprawled on the ground, gripped Cyrus's arm tightly, closed her eyes, and couldn't help but shout, "What on earth happened?!"
"Seems to be……"
Cyrus lay prone on the ground, gazing down at the flower field below, his voice tinged with shock: "Doflamingo is fighting someone..."
"War, battle?!"
Just as Rebecca was feeling a jolt of shock, a young boy's voice rang out from the side of her and Cyrus.
"This place is nice; it's an excellent viewing platform."
Cyrus and Rebecca turned their heads sharply and saw a blind boy with a black sword at his waist standing there, his half-long black hair dancing wildly in the wind.
"when……"
Cyrus looked at him, somewhat alarmed.
She hadn't even noticed him at all.
A beautiful woman with sea-blue curly hair, wearing a black cloak and holding a sword, walked from behind him to his side. She glanced at Cyrus and Rebecca before quickly looking away and down.
A large area of the ground below was almost entirely transformed into white lines, resembling ocean waves, where Zephyr and Doflamingo fought fiercely.
"This is the...awakening of a Devil Fruit?"
"Ayn murmured."
Ron nodded: "Yes, awakening. If a Paramecia-type Devil's ability reaches the level of 'awakening,' it can affect things outside of the ability user."
"Then... can Professor Zephyr win?"
“In my opinion, there is no problem. Doflamingo should have only recently entered this realm, and his ability has a limited impact on the surrounding things. Although his strength has increased significantly, he cannot immediately raise his strength to the same level as old man Zephyr.”
Ron used his Observation Haki to 'watch' the battle below, his tone calm and casual.
Over the years, although old man Zephyr's physique has aged somewhat, only his physical strength has declined; his domineering aura and strength have not weakened.
Although he lost an arm, the giant Seastone crusher developed by the Naval Science Research Institute is a true killer of Devil Fruit users. Combined with Zephyr's strength and Haki, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
Compared to back then, it is actually more lethal to ability users.
On the other hand, Doflamingo was no match for Zephyr back then. He was able to sever Zephyr's arm only by taking advantage of Zephyr's injuries, rage, poisoning, and the constraints imposed by the new Marines.
While he has certainly improved a lot in strength compared to many years ago, it is clear that he is still not strong enough to face Zephyr head-on...
Cyrus and Rebecca were deeply shaken as they listened to the conversation between the black-haired blind boy and the woman with sea-blue curly hair.
"Zeff...is that the powerful Zeff fighting Doflamingo?!"
Fourteen-year-old Rebecca couldn't help but ask the two strangers.
Ayn nodded to her.
“Zeffa…I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before.”
Cyrus looked thoughtful.
Suddenly a name flashed into his mind, his pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at the two people, utterly shocked:
"Could this Zephyr be the Marine Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr?!"
"Admiral Hai?!"
Rebecca stared wide-eyed, her expression blank.
Ayn nodded to Cyrus and said, "Professor Zephyr resigned from his position as Admiral seven years ago, so it would be more accurate to say he was a former Admiral."
"Former...Admiral..."
Cyrus and Rebecca were deeply shocked by her words.
Rebecca snapped out of her daze and looked at the two of them excitedly: "Are you two with that Admiral Zephyr? Are you here to defeat Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family?!"
"That's pretty much it."
Ayn nodded to him.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Rebecca's eyes.
"Then that black slash that cut through the sky during the battle with Serka, was it also from that General Zephyr...?"
No, that's not it.
As Ain spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Ron beside her.
The two followed her gaze and stared at the blind boy with flowing black hair and a black knife at his waist, their hearts trembling.
Is it...
……
Below the flower field hill.
"Aha!"
With a roar from Zephyr, the giant crusher on his right arm blasted through Doflamingo's defensive technique, the White Shield, which was activated by his awakened Devil Fruit power. Using force to overcome softness, the crusher slammed into Doflamingo's face amidst his drastically changed expression, causing his entire face to cave in.
boom!
Doflamingo transformed into a pink beam of light and crashed straight into the ground!
Fortunately, the ground had turned into soft white waves, which helped him absorb a lot of the force; otherwise, this single blow would have been enough to render him unable to move.
"That punch just now was for the student who died at your hands!"
Zephyr, exuding a fierce and murderous aura, used Moonwalk, and with a stomp of his foot, the air exploded!
His body shot straight down towards Doflamingo like a cannonball.
With his face completely smashed and blood gushing from his nose, Doflamingo saw Zephyr charging straight towards him from the sky, and a flicker of terror flashed in his eyes.
He plunged his hands into the white, wave-like surface beneath him.
"Thousands of arrows pierce the heart, strike with feathers, and thread!"
In an instant, thousands of Armament Haki-infused lines, shaped like flamingo wings, pierced and surrounded the charging Zephyr.
"Go away!"
Zephyr roared, and his right arm, rendered black by Armament Haki, blasted out like a giant shredder, shattering the air and sending a terrifying shockwave surging downwards, forming a wide-ranging air cannon.
It directly shattered those lines.
It slammed heavily into Doflamingo below.
The terrifying impact crushed his entire body, pressing him downwards and rendering him unable to move.
