Chapter 559

Not a single area remained intact.

Countless cracks spread across every corner…

Building after building collapsed and shattered under the shockwave of the aftershocks.

Scattered debris and wreckage whirled through the air, swept up by the gusts.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

……

The clash between Lu En and Doflamingo had reached a fever pitch.

Both of them had fought to the point of forgetting everything.

They had already tuned out everything around them.

In each of their eyes, only the formidable enemy before them remained.

"Thrilling! Absolutely thrilling!"

Lu En burst into hearty laughter.

This fierce exchange set his blood boiling within.

He felt an incomparable exhilaration.

Body and mind in perfect bliss,

the violent factor hidden within him was released in full.

Trading blows with a top-tier powerhouse let Lu En savor a thoroughly unrestrained exhilaration.

In this battle, he had already gone all out.

Yet he still couldn't take Doflamingo down.

As for this outcome, he had long anticipated it.

Doflamingo, with his Devil Fruit awakened, was terrifyingly strong!

Compared to the current Whitebeard II, he was even stronger by three points!

He might not match the current Admiral Zefa.

But he was by no means far behind.

And during this stretch, Lu En's own strength had likewise improved!

Compared to when he had fought Whitebeard II back then, he had grown stronger!

Therefore.

Lu En's inability to take down Doflamingo was an outcome he had foreseen long ago.

Conversely.

Doflamingo, likewise, could not defeat him so easily.

Regarding this,

Lu En harbored not the slightest dissatisfaction.

This outcome, he could accept it completely.

Anyway,

his coming to the Donquixote Family's territory this time was never about capturing Doflamingo in the first place.

This battle had merely erupted on a sudden whim.

Lu En's objective had never been to defeat Doflamingo...........

He simply wanted to vent a little…

To release part of the violent factor within him.

That was all!

Poor Doflamingo, still unaware of Lu En's true objective, had for nothing lost a luxurious casino.

Next,

Lu En and Doflamingo, each at their peak period state, fought for a full half hour!

Maintaining his Devil Fruit awakened state for half an hour, Doflamingo's condition began to plummet.

At the same time,

Lu En, fighting Doflamingo at high intensity, likewise saw his condition slowly decline, no longer able to maintain his peak period state at full flourish.

Both men's conditions were slipping.

The scale of the battle gradually shrank.

Attacks that once could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth were now halved in power.

It was plain to see…

if this fight went on, both men's conditions would slide all the way down to the final weakened stage.

It would be hard to determine a victor!

The two were locked in an inseparable deadlock.

In the early phase,

Lu En had briefly suppressed Doflamingo.

But once Doflamingo unleashed his Devil Fruit's awakening, Lu En could no longer keep him suppressed.

At their full peak, the two traded blows blow for blow.

Each of them had also begun to take wounds.

A series of bloody wounds appeared.

Lu En's body, struck by the lines, bore countless grotesque external injuries; blood soaked his body, turning him into a bloodied figure.

And Doflamingo…

was also badly injured.

Struck by Lu En's Armament-colored fists, Doflamingo's body suffered damage in multiple areas, and his internal organs were moderately injured.

In addition,

many of his bones had been shattered.

The recurring stabbing pain made Doflamingo's face pale, beads of sweat break out on his forehead, and his internal Qi grow increasingly feeble and weak.

Even his breathing rhythm became wildly disordered.

"Fist Demon Lu En…"

"This brat is truly a monster!"

Doflamingo coldly stared at Lu En.

At this moment,

Lu En's face was also pale, his breathing nearly without rhythm.

His internal Qi had entered a stage of weakness…

That's it.

The two gritted their teeth and clashed for another half an hour.

With this, 3.5

An hour later.

The two had fought until they were nearly exhausted.

The power behind their attacks had dwindled to less than one-tenth.

They could no longer inflict cataclysmic destruction.

Whether in strength,

or stamina,

or vitality,

all had plunged to rock bottom.

Clearly,

the two had reached a dead end,

arrived at the point of utter desperation.

"Forget it."
