Chapter 708

A fist like that of a giant smashed down toward Doflamingo's head.

"Hehe, do you think such a clumsy fist can hit me?" Doflamingo sneered.

Subsequently, Doflamingo raised his right leg and kicked toward Luffy.

Bang!

Luffy was kicked away by Doflamingo and slammed heavily onto the ground!

Luffy struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from his face, and his gaze became sharp!

"Oh? Interesting, you didn't fall? It seems I underestimated your resilience!" Doflamingo said indifferently.

"Free-Flowing Ultimate Art — Hundred Flowers Flurry!"

Luffy pushed off hard with both feet, instantly leaping into the air, his fist condensing immense internal energy as he smashed down toward Doflamingo.

"This time the speed is fast enough, but the power has weakened."

Doflamingo gave a contemptuous smile; he raised his right arm to block in front of his chest, stopping Luffy's fist.

Subsequently, he kicked Luffy away with a Collapsing Thread Kick.

Thump! Luffy fell heavily to the ground.

"This level of power can't break my defense at all. I advise you to admit defeat quickly, lest you break those fragile bones of yours!"

Doflamingo shook his head: "Thousand Threads Art — Formless Calamity Finger!"

Swish!

A finger beam, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot toward Luffy.

But Luffy seemed to have sensed something in advance and dodged it like lightning.

Doflamingo was slightly surprised at the sight: "You are quite clever, with such keen spiritual perception, but unfortunately, your strength is too poor."

Doflamingo raised his arm and lashed out with a whip kick.

Luffy immediately side-flipped to dodge.

Luffy stepped on the ground with both feet, his body vaulted into the air, and he dove toward Doflamingo.

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow and waved a hand, and suddenly the surrounding leaves flew up in a flurry.

Luffy kicked out, but was blocked by the leaves infused with Doflamingo's martial Dao Qi!

Doflamingo raised his right fist and smashed toward Luffy.

"Free-Flowing Ultimate Art — Full Martial Dao Qi Coverage!"

Luffy gave a low shout, his entire body's muscles tensed up, and his physique expanded significantly.

"Oh? You've got something, but unfortunately, it's far from enough!"

Doflamingo swung his fist out, colliding head-on with Luffy's fist.

Boom!

Doflamingo didn't budge, while Luffy was shaken back two steps.

"Hahaha! Luffy, you're just not good enough!" Doflamingo laughed loudly.

"Is that so?" Luffy grinned.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Doflamingo's heart; he subconsciously twisted his body and shifted to the left.

Luffy's fist grazed the edge of Doflamingo's neck.

Doflamingo secretly thought it was a close call; if he had been half a beat slower just now, his neck would have been broken.

Doflamingo was both shocked and angry: "Luffy! You..."

Luffy grinned: "My fist techniques aren't as simple as you think! Your Thousand Threads Art isn't as fierce as my fist techniques either!"

Luffy let out a roar, and his fists rained down like raindrops, smashing toward Doflamingo.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

Doflamingo gave a cold snort, wrapped his internal energy around his fists, and met Luffy's offensive.

Each punch was fiercer than the last.

Every punch Luffy threw seemed to use up all his strength.

The battle between the two became increasingly intense; Luffy became more and more frantic, even forgetting his fatigue.

In the end, Doflamingo became impatient with Luffy's entanglement and used his threads to hook onto a cloud, allowing himself to fly into the sky.

"Luffy! Are you going to keep dragging this out with me? My Birdcage will completely shrink in another hour."

"By that time, everyone in the entire city of Dressrosa will be like sliced tomatoes, torn into pieces! Blood will be flowing all over the ground!" Doflamingo mocked with a laugh.

"You're courting death!"

Hearing this, Luffy's eyes turned scarlet, and terrifying killing intent erupted from his body.

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry! Luffy, think about it, will these people killed by my Birdcage hate you or hate me?"

"If it weren't for your arrival, they would still be living their happy and stable daily lives, but because of your arrival, Dressrosa has fallen into chaos! Can you bear to let these innocent people suffer?"

Doflamingo continued to provoke Luffy.

Once a martial artist's mind is controlled by anger and they lose their basic judgment, they are easily defeated.

"Do you think I'll be fooled again?" Luffy said with a cold smile.

"Whether you're fooled or not is no longer your choice! Hahaha, even if I kill everyone, all these crimes will be attributed to you!"

Doflamingo's voice carried a hint of a conspiracy fulfilled.

"So what? You made my friends cry and my companions angry! If I still can't beat you, then I'll take the blame, but I won't let anyone die!"

"You and your Birdcage are in my way! You must die!"

Luffy said to Doflamingo with immense dominance, his tone firm.

Luffy raised his right arm and bit down on it.

Martial Dao Qi and Nine Provinces Dragon Qi were continuously injected into his body through his teeth.

"Free-Flowing Ultimate Art Fourth Stage — Immovable Wisdom King!"

Hum!

Under the influence of the two types of Qi, Luffy's body began to expand continuously.

His muscles were filled with explosive power!

Crack, crack! His bones emitted constant crisp sounds.

Luffy's height reached over 3 meters, his muscles were bulging, and strands of tangible Qi wrapped around his skin, emitting a black metallic luster.

A thunderclap suddenly erupted, and dark clouds gathered.

A mass of dark clouds abruptly appeared in the originally blue and clear sky, blocking the sunlight.

Wild winds raged, blowing Luffy's robe, making it snap loudly.

[My god, is this the state of the fourth stage of the Free-Flowing Ultimate Art? This is too cool!]

[As expected, Luffy still had a trick up his sleeve. Two years of training didn't just let him master the Nine Provinces Dragon Qi, Martial Dao Qi, and Haoran Righteous Qi, but also allowed him to develop the fourth stage of the Free-Flowing Ultimate Art!]

[Law: You should have used this earlier! I was almost beaten to death before you used it!]

[Sacrificing teammates for infinite power! Go, Luffy, let us witness the power of your fourth stage of the Free-Flowing Ultimate Art!]

On the King's Plateau, Zoro looked at the Birdcage threads in the distance, which were shrinking non-stop, his brow furrowed deeply.

"The range of the Birdcage threads is getting smaller and smaller; if this continues, it won't be good!"

Zoro's thoughts raced.

Because the range of the Birdcage was shrinking, the residents still on the outskirts of Dressrosa began to riot, and many started running toward the center of the city.

These residents were ordinary civilians, and there were no martial artists among them; when faced with this kind of death threat from the Birdcage.

Other than running and screaming, they had no other way, and could only pin their hopes on those experts.

"Wife, hurry! Let's hide in the center of the city!"

"Right, we'll probably be cut by these threads in the next minute; if you want to live, hurry and leave here!"

"Why are you still carrying so much luggage? Survival is what matters now!"

"What a greedy guy!"

Zoro looked at the Birdcage in the distance, his brow deeply furrowed, and then his gaze became unpredictable, as if he were hesitating about something.

In the end, Zoro made up his mind.

"Hey! Everyone who can move and knows how to use Martial Dao Qi, hurry and follow me! Luffy is still fighting! We can't hold him back!"

Zoro shouted, his voice spreading across the entire field.

"Alright!"

"Understood! We're coming right away!"
