Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Did you see that, you little brat?"

"I saw it, but I still can't quite believe it. Luffy has such powerful abilities," Tregear said.

“How did he do that?” Beria asked. “It’s a bit beyond my comprehension.”

"It seems that a large amount of air is blown into the muscles to make the body gigantic, while the skin retains Armament Haki. Moreover, while the body is covered with Armament Haki, it still retains the properties of rubber, greatly increasing the elasticity of the rubber."

"That is to say, even in the state of Armament Haki, it still has the properties of rubber. Because of the hardness of Armament Haki, it is basically like compressing air into the Armament Haki-enhanced arm."

"At this moment, Luffy's body has the properties of rubber, but it is extremely hard. That giant punch requires extremely strong force to compress, and his arm will bounce back like a spring. Combined with Luffy's original strength, he can unleash such power."

"I see."

At this moment, Luffy had already knocked Doflamingo into the sky. Doflamingo was in extreme pain; the power of Gear Fourth far exceeded his expectations, and his fists were going numb from exchanging blows with Luffy.

“How are the others doing now?” Beria asked.

"We've won everything except Doflamingo."

"That's amazing! Luffy-senpai!"

Who's speaking on your end?

"Luffy's biggest fanboy."

"Let's put all that aside for now. Do you think Luffy can win?"

"It's hard to say. It feels like Doflamingo hasn't used his full strength yet. However, there are still some other issues."

"what?"

Toregia looked at the birdcage outside. "About a minute ago, the birdcage started shrinking around the palace. In a while, this city might be shredded."

"What should I do?"

"I'll try to figure something out. You stay here and see how things develop."

"Ok."

After hanging up the communication, Torregia said to Law, Robin, Rebecca, Cyrus, and Bartolomeo beside him, "Alright, we should go."

"Where is Senior Belial?" Bartolomeo asked, as he had originally wanted to get to know Belial.

"He'll be fine. Let's go first. The situation in the city below isn't very good."

"it is good."

……

"Gum-Gum Snake Cannon!" Luffy's fist, hundreds of meters long and resembling a giant snake, pierced through Doflamingo's whip-like lines, knocking Doflamingo directly to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Belial exclaimed, "Wow, that punch was incredibly powerful. Even I might not have been able to withstand it."

"Wow!"

"Huh! What's going on!" Belial exclaimed in shock, as the city suddenly transformed into a vast amount of silk threads.

Doflamingo stood in the center and said, "The power of Devil Fruits actually has a higher stage of awakening." Then, Doflamingo touched the ground, and the ground turned into threads.

"Abilities rarely awaken, but awakening them will affect other things." With a casual wave of his hand, a large number of threads condensed into sharp spikes and rushed towards Luffy.

Luffy tried to dodge, but the threads spread too quickly, soon covering the area, and the time limit for Gear Fourth was about to expire.

"Damn it!" Belial cursed under his breath, leaping up and landing on the ground. "This kid's about to give up, I need to think of something."

Beria's gaze sharpened as he looked at the birdcages surrounding the country.

……

"Bang!" Several sharp blades struck Luffy's chest. "Pfft!" Luffy exhaled a large breath of air and then flew around in the sky like a leaky balloon.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph!" Doflamingo laughed maniacally as he watched Luffy gradually disappear from sight. "Your savior is nothing special!"

Seeing this scene, every citizen of Dressrosa, whether a marine or a pirate, was plunged into deep despair.

"Is all hope gone...?"

"D is nothing but a joke in the face of God!" Doflamingo laughed.

“Well then, it’s time to get rid of you guys.” Doflamingo said, manipulating the threads.

"Whoosh!"

A loud whooshing sound rang out, and Doflamingo turned his head as a dark red bolt of lightning shot towards him.

"Oh!"

Doflamingo flew out like a cannonball, the dark red light carrying him through several buildings. Then, he was punched and sent flying, landing on the ground.

"Cough!" Doflamingo coughed up blood, looking at Belial floating in mid-air, his eyes flashing white light, his body surrounded by dark red lightning.

"You bastard."

Belial cracked his neck and said, "What's wrong? Is this all you've got?" He then continued charging towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo rose into the air, and with a flick of his right hand, numerous threads formed blades that pierced towards Belial.

Belial gathered high energy in his right hand, and with a wave of his hand, a light blade surrounded by lightning clashed with the thread blade. "Boom!" Intense sparks exploded in mid-air, and Doflamingo's threads were shattered.

Belial then accelerated toward Doflamingo, delivering a powerful punch crackling with lightning to Doflamingo's defensive arm.

Belial flew with Doflamingo in his arms, then unleashed a series of punches on Doflamingo's arm.

The continuous pain made Doflamingo's face turn pale. Doflamingo manipulated the threads to attack Belial. Belial retreated slightly, then his body shone brightly, and he appeared above and behind Doflamingo in an instant.

Then Belial stomped on Doflamingo, who instinctively used his threads to block. Dark red lightning and the threads collided in mid-air.

Belial said, "I don't believe in any gods. If you really are a god, then I will kill you!" As he spoke, the light on Belial's feet grew brighter and brighter. With a forceful kick, Belial pierced through Doflamingo's threads and slammed him to the ground.

Then Belial stood upside down on top of the birdcage, and then everyone heard Belial's voice:

"Once upon a time, I was a warrior too. After experiencing some things, I became the opposite of my original aspirations. But whether I was once an indomitable warrior of light or later a demon of death, I know..."

"I will not give up until the very last moment. Because a heroic death is always better than a death in vain. If I fight with all my might to the very end, I will have something to be proud of even in hell!"

Hearing Belial's voice, the people who had just been distraught seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, and they all stood up, their eyes filled with determination.

"That's right, we can't give up!"

"Fight with all your might until the very last moment!"

"We haven't lost yet!"

"Heading towards the city center!"

Those who had previously felt powerless now held firm to their beliefs. Navy personnel, pirates, and civilians rallied together, supporting one another, and ran towards the city center.

Belial then looked at Doflamingo standing on the ground. "Alright, it's your turn now."

"Enhance! Descium Ray!" The Descium Ray, even brighter than usual, shot towards Doflamingo, who flew backward as the Descium Ray swept across him.

"Big wave and white line!"

Doflamingo transformed the surrounding buildings into threads, forming a giant wave that crashed down on Belial.

Belial then swept the beam of light towards the giant wave, instantly shattering the silken wave.

Belial withdrew his beam of light and looked at the lightning crackling around his body.

This Descium Burst is a technique he devised after his battle with Kizaru. It unleashes his Descium ability, causing his beam attacks and body to be enveloped in Descium lightning. At the same time, the energy within his body is also enhanced, making him incredibly powerful, but also extremely energy-consuming.

Light-based skills consume a lot of energy, and the current state also consumes a lot of energy, so it's best not to use light skills too much.

Belial then accelerated again, and suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, he streaked across the sky and rushed towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo was also shocked at this moment. Belial's ability seemed to be similar to a Zoan type, but it was not one of the Mythical Zoan types he knew.

Seeing Belial charging towards him, Doflamingo leaped forward using the threads. Belial punched the ground, but Belial countered with a claw, sending three light blades flying towards Doflamingo.

"This is never going to end!"

Doflamingo waved his hand, and several thread-like blades converged, colliding with the light blade.

The explosion produced thick smoke, and before Doflamingo could react, Belial, his body crackling with lightning, flew out like a sword and punched Doflamingo away.

Doflamingo crashed through several buildings before slamming heavily into a wall.

"cough!"

Doflamingo coughed up a mouthful of blood and gasped for breath against the wall. "Looks like you really are strong, but it's not enough!"

Doflamingo transformed the surrounding buildings into threads, which coalesced into sharp spikes. Countless spikes surrounded Belial. "This is a great gift I've prepared for you. Accept it well!"

"Thousands of arrows pierce the heart, strike with feathers, and thread!"

Then thousands of lines rose from the ground, surrounding Belial in a shape centered on Doflamingo.

Dense threads surrounded Belial, whose arms were outstretched, and a dark red protective shield surrounded him.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!" Countless collision sounds surrounded Belial. Belial noticed that the tips of the threads were wrapped with Armament Haki, and their power far exceeded that of the previous attacks.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The protective shield showed obvious cracks, and Belial's heart tightened, realizing that he had to finish the battle quickly.

Then, his body burst forth with intense light, and a dark red eight-point light wheel broke free of its restraints, flying towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, his right hand wreathed in Armament Haki, forcefully knocked away the Eight-Point Light Wheel, only to find a gash cut into his own right hand.

Just then, a dark red light broke through the threads. Belial, wielding an eight-part halo crackling with lightning, charged towards Doflamingo.

Doflamingo hurriedly wrapped his arm with threads, while Belial, wielding the Eight-Point Light Wheel, slashed directly at Doflamingo's arm.

"Bang! Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Sparks flew as the Eight-Point Light Wheel and Doflamingo's arm clashed violently. "Pfft pfft pfft pfft!" The Eight-Point Light Wheel gradually slashed through the threads and cut Doflamingo's arm.

Doflamingo felt the pain in his arm and sensed the danger. He forcefully pushed Belial away and then quickly used the threads to create a powerful blow that sent Belial flying.

Doflamingo felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the bleeding wound on his arm; he had underestimated Belial.

Belial, who had been thrown back, regained his balance in mid-air. He then gathered powerful light energy in his hands, which gradually condensed into intense sparks of lightning.

"Want to settle this once and for all? That suits me perfectly!" Doflamingo said, conjuring several sharp spikes wrapped in Armament Haki, and charging towards Belial with them.

Belial, radiating a dazzling light, charged towards Doflamingo like a dark red lightning bolt, his hands forming two streaks of lightning that ripped through the sky. "Double Lightning, God-Slaying Slash!" He then clashed his hands together, like sharp swords, against Doflamingo.
