Paper Paper Fruit In One Piece

Very good, 

Everything was tipping in favor of the Straw Hat crew. 

With three high-ranking officers down, the rest of Doflamingo's crew members were quickly knocked out as well. Only 'Baby-5' was protected by Chinjao and found a place for herself. As for the Beasts Pirates, though many were defeated, they were immediately rescued by reinforcements. 

The members of the 'Straw Hat' crew who fell were sent to Chopper at the rear. After treatment, the near-dead became heavily injured, and the heavily injured became lightly wounded... 

Aside from the Beasts Pirates actively retreating, Doflamingo's crew was almost down to him alone. 

"Luffy," 

"Hoo, hoo, hoo~~ this birdman is really strong!" 

Facing Doflamingo, whose 'land' underfoot was made of writhing white lines—shortly after the battle began, Doflamingo had awakened, turning everything within a few hundred meters into white lines, or else he wouldn't have been able to withstand Luffy and Law's assault and would have been forced to retreat. 

"Is everyone finished?" 

Luffy, who understood the situation without turning his head, replied, "Heh heh heh, if it weren't for you all—" 

Doflamingo had grown angry to the point of calm. His subordinates were all defeated. Jack was tied up, and even if they won, he would be left isolated. There was no other path but to swear loyalty to Kaido. 

Such humiliation! 

It was barely better than being used as a breeding tool for Big Mom. 

"This country used to be full of 'peace and prosperity,' where everyone lived 'rich and fulfilling' lives, but look at it now:" 

The sight was of ruined cities, the sky filled with cries. 

"Everyone who dies here will resent your Straw Hat crew. It's because of your meddling!" 

Doflamingo actually tried to argue with Luffy, thinking he could match his words—a huge mistake. 

"Stop bragging, that was all fake peace!" 

"Those people you turned into toys and enslaved, those who lost their families without knowing it, their tears and anger are the 'truth' of this country!" 

"Heh heh heh, there's always someone unlucky in every place. You have to help them all, but can you handle it? A mere pirate passing by, why are you blocking my way!" 

"No, you're the one blocking my way!" 

"I'm going to become the 'Pirate King.' I'm going to be the freest person on this sea! It's you and your birdcage that's blocking my path, so I'm going to defeat you!" 

After speaking, Luffy stopped talking and took off his sandals, biting his wrist to begin inflating. 

"Gear Fourth!"

Here it comes— 

In an instant, Luffy's left arm began to swell up like Gear Third! But unlike Gear Third, which focuses mainly on increasing strength and becoming heavy, this time the expansion was combined with Armament Haki, making his arm's muscles bulge with a defined outline. 

"I noticed while training that Gear Second's speed is enough, but it lacks strength; Gear Third has enough strength, but it lacks speed. If I want to get stronger, I need a combination of both strength and speed!" 

The expansion of his body wasn't like Gear Third, where it focused on just one part. Instead, his whole body grew in proportion! Luffy's height instantly became four meters, with a waistline to match. 

At the same time, Armament Haki covered his entire body, forming dark patterns that spread from his limbs to his chest! His black hair flew high in the air, moving without wind! Dominant and free-spirited—this was the appearance a "Pirate King" should have. 

"To fight against those giant, monster-like beasts, I need to have a strong 'giant body' and enough 'bounce'." 

"Gear Fourth—Boundman!" 

"Heh heh heh, I thought it was some kind of secret weapon." 

Facing the inflated balloon-like figure of Gear Fourth Luffy, who bounced up and down on the ground, Doflamingo didn't yet realize how serious the situation was. 

"What's the use of bounce if you can't even stand properly?" 

What's the use? 

The white pigeon in the sky was watching the battle below without blinking. It was only focusing on dodging with its 'Kami-e' technique and putting most of its attention on this side. Because, click, click, click... 

With a metallic compression sound, Luffy's huge fist shrank into his arm. 

?! Whoosh— 

In a flash, Luffy's massive body appeared before Doflamingo with a speed so fast that Doflamingo didn't even have time to react! In the blink of an eye, Luffy's Armament Haki and strength were compressed in his arm, and his Armament Haki-covered arm now had the attributes of 'indestructible' and 'unmatched elasticity'! "Gomu Gomu no—King Kong Gun!!" 

Luffy's arm, covered in Armament Haki, suddenly shot out his fist. The combination of his Devil Fruit power and Armament Haki created an overwhelmingly powerful force! This power was so terrifying that even the mighty Yangtze River couldn't match it, and the power of dragons and elephants would bow before it! 

All the strength of his body and Armament Haki gathered into Luffy's left fist, making his entire left arm expand several times, before instantly returning to normal. 

With this power, which exceeded Luffy's body's limits, he launched the punch forward! The air in front of him didn't even have time to 'move'! It was shattered as if it were solid, with a strange shockwave spreading like ripples, distorting everything ahead of the punch. 

This wasn't a distortion caused by blurred vision; it was as if everything in the world became as fragile as mist under this punch. 

It was a result of using sheer strength to distort space itself! 

Smash— 

Luffy's fist struck Doflamingo's face with a powerful blow in a fraction of a second! Boom!! At the crucial moment, Doflamingo crossed his arms in front of him, using all his Armament Haki, which he had been mastering for decades, to block the attack. However...

As Luffy's punch landed, Doflamingo 'disappeared' from his spot! Of course, it wasn't because he had suddenly unlocked some 'time manipulation' ability, but because Doflamingo had been sent flying at supersonic speed! Before anyone else could react, the ground in front of Luffy split apart, followed by an invisible sword of a god sweeping down! A deep crack, stretching for thousands of meters without showing any signs of stopping, tore through the battlefield, creating a massive rift in the earth.

First, a crack appeared in the ground, then a thunderous sound erupted! Finally, a huge force sent the earth shaking, with two giant walls of dirt and rocks, over ten meters high, bursting out to the sides with the sound of a stampede. The walls seemed to stretch endlessly, as if they could split the sea itself.

What the...?!

Wow, this—

In an instant, the entire battlefield went quiet.

As Luffy's punch, which had crossed nearly half the kingdom, landed, everyone was stunned! They couldn't believe their eyes, even Roman's real body was frozen in place and was sent flying by a punch from Jack, landing tens of meters away.

"This is really..."

With the defense of The White Knight armor and Roman's natural 'resilience' from often being beaten by Garp, Jack's punch only caused minor injuries. But right now, Roman didn't care about the small injury; his eyes were focused on the massive crack in the ground below.

"Luffy's move... how should I put it?"

Although Roman knew Gear Fourth was strong, he didn't expect it to be strong enough to send Doflamingo flying for over a thousand meters... That's a bit much. Even Roman wouldn't dare to take such a terrifying attack head-on!

It seems, my training isn't enough.

"Ugh—"

Doflamingo, now a human bulldozer, stood shakily as he pushed through the massive crack he had left in the city.

With only one thing on his mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Unfortunately, Luffy wouldn't give him a moment's rest. After Gear Fourth, Luffy had gained the ability to fly: with his legs snapping back to propel him, he could easily use the moonwalk technique! — And it was the enhanced version of the moonwalk. Doflamingo had just gotten up when a large figure appeared in his line of sight, rapidly approaching.

Soru! Luffy, in his Gear Fourth form, vanished from Doflamingo's view, and in the next moment, a pair of legs covered in Armament Haki struck Doflamingo's face, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Rubber—Rhino Bazooka!"

The air twisted, and terrifying shockwaves spread out in visible rings, penetrating the ground. Within a radius of several hundred meters, the area shook violently as if it were a drum being pounded relentlessly.

Large buildings and streets were blasted into the air by a massive, violent force, shattering into a wave of thick smoke filled with thousands of tons of rubble. Nearby, the remaining lower half of the stone giant Pika instantly twisted and deformed, exploding with a deafening crash. The rocks poured down like a swift waterfall, hitting the ground with tremendous force, creating shockwaves that spread everywhere! Doflamingo was done for. 

In the face of Luffy's terrifying strength, which could literally split mountains and seas with every punch and kick, the fact that Doflamingo didn't die before 'Gear Fourth' ended showed just how tough he was. There was no other possibility! 

However, the sheer violent power was insane... With just his fists, Luffy could create effects similar to the 'Quake-Quake Fruit,' shaping the space around him. Truly, Luffy was a force to be reckoned with—his punches could break anything! 

It's a pity, though. This was something Roman couldn't learn. His personality was simply better suited to a path of adaptability and ability combinations. This kind of extreme power and speed in a punch, Luffy was the one who should wield it. 

Glancing at Jack, who was beginning to regroup his forces and turn to leave, Roman didn't consider the idea of stopping him. Unless both Luffy and Zoro acted together, Roman knew he wouldn't be able to handle Jack with his extreme physical strength and recovery without using some 'tricks.' 

Forget it. It's not the right time to fight the Beasts Pirates just yet... 

"Nami, how's it going on your side?" 

Roman asked, and Nami's voice came from his wrist. 

"Sorry, the enemy retreated. Brooke and I only managed to save the small people." 

"It's fine, saving people is what matters." 

After all, Jack was one of Kaido's six main subordinates, so it wouldn't be easy to deal with him. Plus, even if Kaido took control of the production factory, without Caesar and the small people's technology and talents, it was uncertain how many 'Artificial Devil Fruits' could be made. 

"Oh, oh, oh!!!!" 

A roaring sound brought Roman back to his senses. Looking up, he saw the birdcage rapidly disappearing! The only reason this could happen was one possibility: Doflamingo had been defeated.
