"How is this possible! Why are these kids so strong..."
"What kind of monsters are these?!"
"AHHHHH, HELP..."
On the docks of Dressrosa, chaotic voices filled the air.
Screams, cries for help, roars of anger... They echoed endlessly!
"ROAR!!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted!
"MARINES! Don't think you can actually defeat me—"
Jack face was filled with boundless fury.
His form shifted, His already massive frame grew even larger.
In an instant, he transformed into an ancient mammoth!
Jack the Drought could no longer hold back—he unleashed his Devil Fruit power.
Zoan-type, Ancient Model: Mammoth!!
The colossal mammoth as large as a hill struggled to its feet, Its powerful trunk rose high then lashed out like a whip with lightning speed, striking viciously toward little Garp!
However—
Little Garp paused for a moment. His lips seemed to murmur something...
"Tekkai!"
Not only that, but a black aura instantly enveloped his entire frame.
"BOOM!"
The thick trunk slammed into Garp body.
Jack, now in mammoth form, wore a savage grin. But, in the next moment, his smile froze...
His expression twisted in shock. Because he suddenly realized, his trunk had struck Garp—yet it felt as though he had hit unyielding steel!
The sheer hardness of it even sent a jolt of pain through him!
"How is this possible?!" Jack seethed with rage, his eyes burning with fury.
But, Little Akainu had already closed the distance!
"Shigan!"
Channeling all his strength into a single finger, reinforced with Armament Haki, he thrust it mercilessly at Jack!
"Rankyaku!"
From afar, Little Aokiji delivered a fierce kick.
A razor-sharp slash of wind erupted from his foot! It shot forward with explosive force!
Meanwhile, Little Jinbei simply aimed his palm at Jack... And unleashed a relentless barrage of Laser Beams.
"ROAR—"
Jack roared in fury, only to be completely overwhelmed.
With Little Garp and Akainu pummeling him up close, and Aokiji and Jinbei suppressing him from afar... Combined with Jack massive mammoth form, which made it impossible for him to evade without affecting his own movements...
The coordination was flawless!
He was battered relentlessly, pinned down so thoroughly he couldn't even stand!
All he could do was rage helplessly!
****
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Doflamingo, too, could no longer hold back. He went all out, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki! But to his dismay, his Conqueror's Haki had absolutely no effect on the Seraphim.
After all, they were mere machines. Devoid of any will whatsoever.
"Hmph..." Doflamingo snorted coldly and attacked in rage.
"String Shot!"
Raising his index finger, he fired a thin, thread-like projectile as fast as a bullet.
"Soru!"
Little Doflamingo instantly dodged using the Marine technique, Soru.
"He even knows the Rokushiki..." Doflamingo gritted his teeth.
What kind of freaks were these?! Their base strength was already absurd, yet they also possessed mastery over both types of Haki, the Rokushiki, advanced swordsmanship—nothing was lacking!
They even had the Pacifista Laser Beams.
This meant every one of them was an all-rounder—ranged attacks, melee combat, defense, disruption, support... They excelled in everything.
"Overheat String!"
Doflamingo palm shot out dozens of nearly transparent threads.
In the next instant, these threads rapidly intertwined, forming thick columns of string that swept toward Little Doflamingo with a slicing motion.
"This time, let's see how you dodge!" Doflamingo grinned savagely—this attack of his had an enormous range.
It wasn't something that could be avoided so easily.
However—
Little Doflamingo merely coated his arms in Busoshoku Haki…
"Tekkai!"
Clang!
A metallic clang suddenly rang out!
Doflamingo expression instantly twisted.
His pupils trembled, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"How… is this possible?!"
"He actually blocked it?!"
This was supposed to be one of his strongest killing moves.
Without exaggeration, its power was enough to slice a high-rise building in half in an instant and yet… this humanoid weapon, who looked like a mere child, had blocked it?!
How could he not be horrified?!
But soon, Doflamingo forced himself to calm down. He still had his ultimate trump card left.
"Fufufufufu… You've forced my hand…"
Doflamingo lips curled into a chilling smirk.
"Let me show you the power of an awakened Devil Fruit!"
At that moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from Doflamingo body!
"White Wave!"
With his cold shout—
The ground instantly transformed into countless thin threads, an overwhelming number surging forth like a raging tidal wave.
They rose from beneath Little Doflamingo feet, rapidly coiling into a massive, twisted surge— Attempting to ensnare and crush him within!
Yet…
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Little Doflamingo stomped hard against the ground. The powerful recoil launched him into the air!
"Geppo!"
Doflamingo gritted his teeth.
He should have expected this—since the kid had already shown mastery of Soru and Iron Body, Moon Walk wasn't surprising.
"Fine, then try this!"
Doflamingo flicked his fingers— Thousands of threads, infused with Busoshoku Haki, shot up from the ground!
In an instant, they took the shape of flamingo wings, forcefully enclosing Little Doflamingo midair!
"Fufufufufu… Let's see how you like the pain of a thousand piercing needles!"
Doflamingo threw his head back in laughter.
In the blink of an eye, the countless threads within the flamingo wings, reinforced with formidable Haki, all shot forward at once!
BOOM!
Little Doflamingo dodged frantically in midair using Moon Walk!
At the same time, several Laser Beams tore through the terrifying threads.
Occasionally, he kicked violently at the air— Unleashing Rankyaku slashes! But Doflamingo attack was ultimately too overwhelming.
SWISH!
In an instant— A single thread pierced straight through Little Doflamingo chest. Sending him flying backward with a violent explosion!
"Fufufufufu… A fake will always be a fake. You'll never match the real thing…"
Doflamingo let out his signature laugh. Just as he prepared to press his advantage—
Doflamingo suddenly froze!
His expression stiffened, his earlier amusement instantly replaced by sheer fury!
His entire body trembled as he snarled in disbelief—
"H-How is this possible?!"
Because—
He saw Little Doflamingo, who had been sent tumbling through the air, quickly stabilize himself.
And then— On Little Doflamingo chest… The wound from the piercing strike was rapidly healing… In the blink of an eye, it was as if nothing had happened!
No trace of fear.
No sign of weakness.
His breath showed no signs of weakening.
Still full of vigor, he charged toward Doflamingo!
