Chapter 343

"Second Gear!"

"Jte??????

He immediately clashed with Doflamingo.

But...

"Hehehe—Are you an idiot?"

Doflamingo gripped Luffy's arm, activated his Dark-Dark Fruit, directly nullified Luffy's Nika Fruit ability, and additionally inflicted Luffy with weakness.

He yanked Luffy flying straight toward himself!

He's using Luffy as a human shield!

"Not a chance!"

Katakuri had already anticipated this—he erupted from the ground in the center and caught the flying Luffy.

Doflamingo was still struggling with Katakuri when BIG MOM arrived!

Enraged, BIG MOM tore off her pirate hat "Napoleon," from whose crown blades extended into a great cleaver she gripped in her hand, her entire body glowing with a deep blue radiance.

"Eldbaf Spear—Blast!"

The colossal sword-energy wave engulfed Doflamingo entirely, forcing him to abandon Luffy and focus entirely on hardening his Armament Haki to resist this assault.

Honestly,

Doflamingo did have some skill—he managed to block BIG MOM's "Nation's Might" barehanded.

But...

The other members of the Blackbeard Pirates didn't have this level of combat power.

Most were being overwhelmed by BIG MOM's crew.

Only the Donquixote Family's presence, combined with Doflamingo's Devil Fruit Awakening proving exceptionally effective in the chaos,

allowed them to barely hold the line.

But defeat was merely a matter of time—after all, this was BIG MOM's stronghold!

"Borsalino! If you don't come soon! The Marines will be wiped out!!!" Doflamingo shouted desperately.

He was panicking—he was really panicking!

Borsalino, lurking in the shadows, knew he could wait no longer.

"Shhh—"

A laser beam shot forth, forcing BIG MOM to raise her blade in defense—and simultaneously rescuing Doflamingo.

The deflected laser beam coalesced on the ground into Borsalino's form.

"Ohhh—Quite the party." Borsalino spoke slowly.

He opened his mouth with unmistakable mockery.

Meanwhile,

A sky-covering storm of magma meteors rose on the horizon—Sakazuki's signature technique: Meteor Volcano!

The Meteor Volcano, previously defeated time and again, now revealed the terrifying power of a Logia-type for the first time!

It had even engulfed nearly half of Whole Cake Island?

Sakazuki must have been pushing himself to the absolute limit.

"Damn it!" Perospero roared: "Pirates are allying with the Marines! Doflamingo, have you abandoned all honor?"

Pirates have their own code of honor!

Team up with the Marines?

That's just calling for backup when you're losing!

"Ssshh—Hehehehe—" Doflamingo sneered, tilting his head back with a twisted grin: "Victory belongs to the strong. Once I kill you all, who'll know about my alliance with the Marines? Prepare to die..."

"Shhh—"

Doflamingo's boastful words cut short, because...

"Shhh—"

Sima Di appeared before Doflamingo, his right fist drawn back in preparation, a white spherical aura half his height coalescing around it, his entire body radiating blue light.

"This punch is from Whitebeard."

The fist descended!

Even though Doflamingo raised his arms in time to block, he was horrified to discover Sima Di's strength had reached an terrifying level—it felt exactly like facing Whitebeard!

The Quake Fruit's spatial tearing nearly shattered his Armament Haki defense, but his Dark-Dark Fruit could still absorb this immense power.

Yet Sima Di's monstrous physical strength and the overwhelming shockwave from his punch pinned Doflamingo firmly in place!

After a brief struggle,

Doflamingo ultimately could not hold his ground—he was blasted backward by the punch's force, taking a massive chunk of ground with him, carving a trench over twenty meters long, before crashing into the Giant Tribe's sacred shrine at San Juan...

"Waaah—"

Doflamingo spat out several mouthfuls of blood first.

Too terrifying!

His Dark-Dark Fruit's pain-transfer speed couldn't keep up with Sima Di's damage output—it inflicted pure physical damage instantly!

That's insane!

Even though his Dark-Dark Fruit can't be intangible, it's still a Logia-type!

It was actually pure physical damage that made him cough up blood?

—That punch had no Armament Haki attached!

Sima Di calmly withdrew his fist and nodded, fairly satisfied.

Thanks to the removal of his body's limiter,

during this period, as long as Sima Di did a few sets of exercises every day, his physical strength had rocketed up like a rocket. Now he could already use the "Tenfold Realm King Fist" as a regular ability without too much burden.

With a full-power punch,

its might also surpassed an ordinary punch. Although it was still far from a serious "Earth-Splitting Fist," it was a Promising Future.

"Too bad, one punch still can't kill this guy," Sima Di said regretfully.

Teach was so angry he nearly spat out another mouthful of blood!

Your punch had no Armament Haki, no Conqueror's Haki coating, and yet it injured me — that's already absurd, alright!!!

BIG? OM also came back to her senses at this moment.

She looked at the greater part of Whole Cake Island set ablaze by the Meteor Volcano, and fury burst forth from her body along with her Conqueror's Haki, putting tremendous pressure on those nearby!

Some of the weaker guests among the attendees simply rolled their eyes and collapsed on the spot.

"Mama! We have to send someone to stop Sakazuki!" Perospero urged. "If we let him keep destroying like this, even if we win in the end, Whole Cake Island is done for!"

86. Admiral Fujitora's pebble toss! Heavenly Constriction Meteor!

"Di!" BIG? OM spoke again. "Please have your Straw Hat Pirates intercept those two Admirals..."

"There's really nothing I can do about that," Sima Di said, waving a hand. "Although I can hold off two Admirals, Sakazuki and Fujitora are in two different directions. I can only block one of them, and the other..."

Sima Di helplessly shrugged.

He simply couldn't be in two places at once!

"Blackbeard!!!"

Luffy's furious roar suddenly came through, and immediately they saw Luffy, having activated Fourth Gear, charge at Blackbeard like a war god descending.

This time Luffy had learned to be smarter.

He coated his body with Armament Haki. Although doing so would sharply increase the consumption of Armament Haki, it also blocked Teach's Dark-Dark Fruit ability to nullify Devil Fruit powers.

With that,

Teach and Borsalino, those two great nuisances, were temporarily held off.

"I understand, then leave one of them to me!" BIG? OM looked up at the sky. "Zeus! Come here!"

The white cloud Zeus flew over, carrying BIG? OM as it flew toward Sakazuki's direction.

Obviously,
