Chapter 102 Over, Kyros
Numerous threads became intertwined and eventually shaped into sixteen gigantic, sharp spears. These spears radiated powerful armament haki and spread out like flower petals.
Suddenly, the spears launched forward, with incredible force straight through the tightening mass of silk threads.
"Will Brett be able to handle that?"
Tesoro's golden left hand seized the head of a large, hefty man and slammed it to the ground effortlessly.
"Machvise ! "
Along with the shout, a frail old man instantly bulked up and transformed into a muscular giant. He charged directly toward Tesoro, shouting, "Jio-Ken Great Punch! ! "
His fist struck with such force that it hit Tesoro's golden shield, causing the shield to shake.
Tesoro casually lifted his foot and kicked the old man away.He then expressed concern, saying, "Doflamingo's awakening seems pretty serious. "
Not far off.
"Fishman Karate - Seven thousand piece Fist! "
Jinbei smashed the raised steel cloak with a single punch, landing an uninterrupted hit on the face of Diamante, one of the cadres of the Don Quixote family. The impact distorted the man's face, and he was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
"Believe in Brett." Jinbei turned around with calmness, observing the ongoing battle, "He will never lose. "
Jinbei understood that Brett wasn't putting in his full effort.
' His true power has definitely surpassed my own, his progress has been remarkably swift.'
" Jinbei! ! "Shouting in rage, the members of the Don Quixote family refused to accept defeat.
"Hahahaha, let's finish this quickly! ! "
Boom!
This side showcased an overwhelming fight.
Brett was ensnared in a cocoon made of silk threads and had once again taken on a draconian appearance.
Thick, sharp thread weapons passed close by him. Some did not touch him at all, while others grazed him, nearly breaking his scales.
"It stings a bit."Brett grinned slightly.
Doflamingo's powers are quite flashy, but his biggest flaw is that his haki is weak, and his attack power is truly concerning. In the original story, he failed to penetrate the defenses of Fourth Gear Luffy and could only stall him
Nevertheless, the force of his ultimate move is still somewhat decent, and Brett can't defend without suffering some harm.
This is expected. Kaido cannot ignore assaults from fighters of the same level. He took advantage when Doflamingo unleashed his full special move, and some of his scales were indeed broken.
"So--" Electric arcs danced around Brett's body.
Boom!
The cocoon of silk threads, which had nearly collapsed to its smallest size, suddenly burst apart. Doflamingo was propelled back in shock. A figure leaped out from the threads and then landed lightly on the ground.
"Do you have an even stronger technique? " Brett who had reverted back to his normal form, comfortably dropped to the ground. He smiled and remarked, "Even though I'm hurt, you still have a long way to go to defeat me."
'This bastard!' Doflamingo clenched his teeth, the muscles in his face seemed to twitch.
'How can he be so strong?! My full strength only caused a little bleeding?!'
"Big wave white line! " A massive number of threads rushed toward Brett.
"Huu--" Brett exhaled slowly, feeling relieved.
In the next moment, his entire body turned black.
'Even though I usually think using full-body armament haki is a waste of energy, this is when it can be useful.'
An arc much stronger than before began to dance around Brett's body, propelling him. He moved like electricity and light, directly stepping on the threads as he passed over them.
Doflamingo tried to control the threads to stop him, but as soon as he thought of it, Brett would hear the sound on the threads and shift his direction lightly.
'Not only is his defense amazing, but his speed is also absurdly fast!' Doflamingo thought through clenched teeth.
Brett rode the wind.
Although the electric light made it hard to see clearly, mist was indeed spreading from his body. His powers from the giant fog fish allowed him to generate clouds of mist.
The mist itself wasn't anything special, but it changed when combined with Skypiea's technology.
The wind surrounded him, lightening his body and increasing his speed.
'Even controlling the threads, I still can't catch him.'
Realising this, Doflamingo flew higher to avoid being caught by Brett. Since smaller attacks didn't work, he decided to use larger ones
He raised his arms high, countless threads surged from all sides, heading toward Brett like a wave.
This time, there was no escape, Brett was surrounded by the threads again.
But in just a moment, before Doflamingo could react, the sea of threads burst apart, and Brett shot out.
"This bastard! ! " The veins on Doflamingo's were visible. ' I can't defeat him!'
None of his attacks could seriously injure him, and even trying to catch him required a lot of energy and massive effort.
Though it was hard, Doflamingo couldn't accept such a deadlock.
"Doffy—" A scream came from the other side.
Doflamingo turned his head in shock.
Then he noticed that his loyal companion, Trebol, was sent sprawling on the floor by Jinbei's blow.
The fishman even managed to spin around and send Gladius flying who was getting ready to launch a surprise attack.
And Tesoro just happened to strike Monet with a powerful punch, who was about to shift.
Not far off, Sugar unfortunately found herself trapped in the thread for some unknown reason. She cried out in pain while being caught and then was knocked out by the big-headed Tanaka that popped up from below.
"Distracted? While fighting me?" The voice roared from one side like a clap of thunder.
Doflamingo quickly turned, Brett had stepped onto the thread, launching himself into the air. The Armament Haki enveloping his body focused immediately in his right fist.
Without any hesitation, Brett delivered his most powerful punch without relying on his abilities, shouting, "Shockwave Punch "
"Damn it ! "Doflamingo realized it was too late to manipulate the thread and hurriedly threw a punch.
Boom!
Dark lightning cracked in the sky as a figure fell to the ground, then was caught and entangled by silk threads.
Brett came down gradually. He looked at his fist and remarked, "It's really rough and thick. "
The threads fanned out, and Doflamingo floated back up into the air, a small amount of blood running from the corner of his mouth.
But that was it.
Doflamingo ranked just below Kaido among the foes that Straw Hat has overcome. He can even endure the Gamma Knife.
"Well done, Brett. "
A voice called from nearby, and Jinbei approached with a smile, saying, "Let's team up next. "
"Hahaha, do you know your fate? Doflamingo? " Tesoro expressed his happiness.
Doflamingo had been a nuisance for long and was once a Celestial Dragon, and now he was about to face misfortune.
Doflamingo's face darkened.
Even an idiot could see how this situation was going to end.
He couldn't defeat Brett, not to mention Jinbei who seemed even stronger and Tesoro who wasn't too far behind. Continuing to fight would only bring about his demise.
"Fufufufufufufufu! " Doflamingo laughed.
" What's so funny? " Tesoro smirked.
"I'll admit it, you do have the advantage today," Doflamingo said with a grin. "It looks like today isn't the day to clash with you. See you next time! ! "
He spread his arms, and the King's Heights, which had just returned to its previous form, turned to threads again. The threads extending into the air nearly filled the sky and surged directly towards several people.
"He wants to run away! " Tesoro quickly grasped Doflamingo's plan.
But understanding it was pointless. Doflamingo even equipped these threads with Armament without care for the cost. It would take time to break through them.
At that moment, the birdcage surrounding the King's Heights broke apart, and part of the threads ensnared the members of the Don Quixote family, then tossed them in one direction, along with Doflamingo.
In the next instant, the threads shrunk and reverted back, to King's Heights.
"That bastard! ! " Tesoro glared ahead angrily, seeing a mass of white thread rising from a distant town, capturing something, and then throwing it into the air.
"Do you want to pursue? "
Jinbe asked. Even though they can move quickly now, they still need to use ships when they reach the sea.
"No, leave them" Brett remarked.
While he might catch up to them, Doflamingo can soar through the air. Unless he's willing to show what he can do, capturing them is impossible.
The issue is that if his powers are revealed, the only option left is to Kill Doflamingo. The government will become frantic. They will question whether he gained any information from Doflamingo before his death.
It's wiser to keep Doflamingo around; he could create problems for the World government.
"Hmp," Tesoro huffed, feeling displeased.
"Is it over? "
At the base of King's Heights, King Riku and his soldiers, who had just hurried down the stairs, peered out cautiously.
"It's not over yet," Brett responded as he turned to face King Riku.
The king appeared terrified. 'Are they targeting Doflamingo?'
Understanding King Riku's worries, Brett grinned, "So, have you figured out how to calm the crowd? "
King Riku looked momentarily shocked.
"Father! " A tall girl ran out from the palace. As she got closer, she slowed her pace, glancing at Brett and the others with a hint of fear.
"Violet! " King Riku greeted his daughter, "It's alright. "
Brett observed the girl named Violet.
She is the one who truly possesses the power to read minds, and her glare fruit has important tactical use.
'Huh?' Brett heard something and directed his gaze downward.
"King Riku! " In the next moment, a figure rushed in from the path leading up from King's Heights.
He was wielding a long sword, with a determined expression and a muscular build.
"Hey, is that guy not—" Tesoro exclaimed in surprise, "Kyroa? " He recognized his statue from the Colosseum.
Kyros first checked that King Riku was unharmed, then turned his head to lock eyes with Brett.
His expression changed, and he tightened his grip on his sword.
