Chapter 556

He lifted his head.

Lu En stared expressionlessly at Doflamingo.

"Awakened Devil Fruit?"

"Not impressive."

He stepped forward.

Simultaneously activated Six Powers: shave.

In an instant,

his figure vanished into thin air.

In a mere flash, he appeared before Doflamingo.

Clenching his right fist,

he slammed it down at Doflamingo's stunned face.

Boom—

The punch struck Doflamingo's chest directly, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, smashing through countless buildings and scattering debris everywhere.

Fortunately,

as he was thrown backward, Doflamingo used his awakened Devil Fruit state to manipulate countless buildings into threads, forcibly dampening the impact of his flight.

"Good! Very good!"

He wiped blood from his lip, feeling the stabbing pain radiating from his internal organs, and furiously commanded countless buildings to attack Lu En.

Thus,

a direct, head-on battle entered the white-hot stage!

The entire street was riddled with holes.

Within a three-kilometer radius…

It had become a ruined wasteland!

Scattered and shattered,

unrecognizable.

Watching the fierce clash between Lu En and Doflamingo…

The three highest-ranking members of the Donquixote Family revealed their inner shock and terror.

"S-So strong!"

"Even though the heir used his awakened Devil Fruit, he still couldn't suppress Fist Demon Lu En?"

"Fist Demon Lu En is too powerful for a monster."

"The heir has already used his ultimate technique, yet still can't defeat Fist Demon!"

"How can this brat be this strong?!"

All three were deeply moved and visibly shaken.

The progression and direction of the battle…

Had once again exceeded their expectations.

They had assumed

that once the heir unleashed his trump card and activated his Devil Fruit awakening, he would swiftly end the battle and claim victory.

But they never imagined…

Even with the heir Doflamingo using his Devil Fruit awakening, he still could not suppress the Fist Demon Lu En across from him.

Now,

the two exchanged blows back and forth.

They were locked in a near-equal struggle.

This scene utterly shattered the three highest-ranking members' worldview.

"Sea of White Waves!"

As Doflamingo roared in fury across the battlefield,

the entire ruined street instantly transformed into countless white threads.

Millions upon millions of white threads…

Completely filled and covered the entire street.

The ground seemed to have become a sea of waves composed of millions of white threads!

Countless threads rolled and flowed across the ground,

and under Doflamingo's control, they altered the terrain environment, causing Lu En, standing upon it, to stagger and sway, while rapidly extending to wrap around his body.

Fortunately…

Lu En possessed aerial mobility techniques.

Stepping on Moon Step, he rose swiftly into the air, completely detaching from the ground.

At this moment,

he looked down from above.

The entire several-kilometer radius had been transformed by Doflamingo's Devil Fruit awakening into millions of white threads.

"Dodged?"

Seeing Lu En rise into the air using Moon Step, Doflamingo raised an eyebrow.

He calmly initiated his next assault.

He manipulated thousands of white threads on the ground, infusing them with Armament Haki.

So.

Then one could see the fronts of thousands of white threads, each wrapped in a layer of dark purple Armament Haki armor.

"Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart · Feather Strike · Threads!"

A loud shout.

Doflamingo launched a terrifying assault against Lu En alone, directing thousands of white threads wrapped in Armament Haki in a semicircular arc like a flamingo's wings.

The destructive power was utterly terrifying,

the devastation immense,

and the area of effect extremely vast.

The white threads themselves were already highly cutting, and with Doflamingo's Armament Haki coating, this assault became extraordinarily dangerous.

Thousands of white threads wrapped in Armament Haki surrounded Lu En.

No escape possible,

only charge forward.

"Then let's face it head-on!"

Lu En's eyes flashed, a hint of madness appearing on his face.

His pupils glowed with crimson, ferocious light.

He clenched his fists,

and launched a counterattack!

As the thousands of white threads surged toward him, his fists repeatedly shattered the air with sonic booms, leaving behind trails of afterimages—as if his arms had multiplied into thousands.

Under the extreme frequency of his swings…

Lu En's arms became like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin!

A thousand arms, coated in black Armament Haki, erupted with sonic booms, shattered space, and produced deafening tearing sounds as they blocked the thousands of incoming white threads.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

The shockwaves from their collision crushed every object in all directions.

The piercing sound of sonic booms echoed far away.
