Chapter 351: A Punch Carrying

The white, high-temperature steam gradually dissipated in mid-air.

Upon the ruins of the palace's top floor, Doflamingo looked at Luffy before him, his face, which had been taut with rage, suddenly turning strange.

What appeared before him was a bizarre form, massive and round, covered in pitch-black Haki patterns.

Luffy's feet couldn't even stand steadily on the ground; he could only use the elasticity of rubber to keep bouncing "thump-thump" in place, looking quite comical.

Doflamingo couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice filled with contempt:

"Fuffuffuffu... Is this the trump card you've been hiding?"

"Like a ridiculous inflatable ball—do you think making yourself fat will let you defeat me?"

However, before Doflamingo's mocking laughter could subside, a deafening sonic boom suddenly exploded in the air!

"Bang!"

Using the incredible elasticity of rubber to violently kick the air, Luffy vanished from his spot in an instant!

This logic-defying speed was so extreme that even Doflamingo's battle-hardened Observation Haki could only capture a blurry red afterimage on his retina.

In the next second, a wind rose.

Luffy had already appeared directly in front of Doflamingo, as if teleporting.

He retracted his fists, massive as heavy cannons, into his thick arms, and with a powerful sound of compression, he struck out fiercely:

"Gomu Gomu no—Kong Gun!"

Sensing the lethal threat rushing at him, Doflamingo's expression changed drastically.

He had no time to dodge and could only hastily cross his arms in front of his chest, quickly coating them with his strongest Armament Haki for defense.

But in the face of absolute power, all defense proved futile.

This terrifyingly immense elasticity instantly shattered Doflamingo's Haki defense.

Doflamingo let out a muffled groan and was sent flying like a heavy cannonball.

With a loud "Boom!", he crashed heavily through the tall stone tower opposite the palace!

Rubble flew everywhere as Doflamingo struggled to rise from the ruins, his face filled with disbelief.

Enduring the agonizing pain churning within him, he frantically activated the Awakening power of the String-String Fruit.

The ground turned into a white sea of fury, as the peerlessly sharp "Break White" and "Flap Thread" wove into an inescapable net, stabbing toward Luffy in the air like a storm.

Facing this dense barrage of threads capable of easily slicing through refined steel, Luffy hovered in mid-air, unexpectedly making no move to dodge.

As countless sharp threads stabbed into his skin coated in pitch-black Armament Haki, a shocking scene unfolded.

Not only were those lethal thread-blades unable to pierce his body...

...but they were instead forcefully repelled by the immense tension of the rubber, producing the metallic clanging sounds of impact!

Cold sweat poured down Doflamingo's forehead, a trace of undeniable horror flashing in his eyes:

"He's maintaining high-intensity Armament Haki while still keeping the elasticity of rubber?"

"Just what kind of monster is he?!"

Giving his enemy no chance to breathe, Luffy was like an out-of-control spring in mid-air.

With the dull "thump-thump-thump" of his feet kicking the air, he suddenly swung a right hook.

"Gomu Gomu no Culverin!"

His elongated arm changed direction infinitely in the air in a way that defied the laws of physics; his fist was like a guided missile, locking onto Doflamingo as he tried to pull away.

No matter how Doflamingo maneuvered and dodged in the air, that pitch-black fist followed him like a shadow.

Finally, with unrivaled monstrous strength, it slammed hard against the side of his face!

The massive impact sent Doflamingo crashing into the hard ground again, creating a bottomless crater.

And his iconic red sunglasses, a symbol of supreme arrogance, finally shattered completely under this blow, scattering into countless crystalline fragments on the ground!

Doflamingo lay wretchedly in the center of the deep pit, the agonizing pain of torn internal organs and the repeated heavy blows forcing him to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.

Looking at Luffy in the sky, who appeared like a Wisdom King descended to earth, exerting pressure over the four seas...

...a desolate realization dawned in the heart of this once-unbeatable formidable figure.

He knew his reign had reached its end.

However, the twisted pride of a Celestial Dragon flowing through his veins would never allow him to fall so ignominiously.

"Aaaaah!"

Doflamingo let out a roar like a cornered beast.

He squeezed out every last drop of physical and life energy, gathering all the awakened white threads from across the town in front of him.

The highest concentration of Armament Haki coiled around them like black lightning.

Finally, they transformed into sixteen massive pillars of thread capable of piercing heaven and earth.

"Sixteen Holy Bullets: God Thread!!!"

Lifting his blood-stained face and pointing at the sky, he let out a hysterical roar:

"I was born a God, standing above all things in this world!"

"A mere ignorant pirate like you—don't think you can strip me of my country!!!"

Watching Doflamingo's sudden desperate attack from below, Luffy kicked the air, flying even higher into the sky.

Without flinching, he opened his mouth again, biting into his massive Gear 4th arm and frantically blowing a larger volume of air into his taut muscles.

"God?"

"There's no such thing as a God in this world!"

Luffy's voice echoed beneath the clouds, every word powerful and resonant:

"Besides! You're just a bastard who strips others of their freedom at will!"

With the rapid expansion of his muscles, Luffy's arm transformed into a pitch-black giant fist capable of blotting out the sun.

Terrifying power surged between his knuckles, causing the surrounding space to faintly distort.

"Gomu Gomu no—King Kong Gun!!!"

At the instant the two kings' ultimate moves were about to collide, the entire scene of Dressrosa seemed to hit a pause button.

Above the ruins and within the dilapidated streets, everyone simultaneously stopped whatever they were doing.

They lifted their faces, stained with dust and tears, and cast their gazes toward the sky.

Kyros clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms; his burly body trembled slightly as he held back the hot tears that had been welling for ten long years.

Rebecca knelt on the cold rubble, her hands clasped in prayer against her chest, eyes closed as she desperately prayed for a miracle.

In the ruins below, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and the other members of the Straw Hat crew looked up, staring with steady eyes at their Captain, who always created miracles.

Law, protected in a safe area by Tatsuya, stared intently at the sky, clenching his teeth hard.

At this moment, he placed all his thirteen years of blood-deep hatred and the final wish entrusted to him by his benefactor Corazon with his life onto that red back.

Looking around, the entire citizenry, the brave Tontatta warriors, and even the Marines with their rifles...

...beneath that giant fist that covered the heavens, a fierce flame ignited in all their eyes simultaneously.

In this moment, regardless of noble or lowly status, or opposing positions...

...the heartbeats of everyone on the island seemed to transcend the barriers of space, tightly connecting as one.

A powerful silent cry erupted within their hearts:

"Go! Straw Hat Luffy! Take him down!!!"

"Everyone's freedom and smiles, and this country..."

"Give them back to them exactly as they were!!!"

Luffy let out a world-shaking roar.

Carrying the rage of all Dressrosa and the endless hope for freedom, he slammed down head-on!

In mid-air, the massive pitch-black fist and the sixteen unstoppable white thread bullets collided with a crash!

There was no suspense, nor even a moment of stalemate.

The "King Kong Gun," carrying supreme divine power like a mountain-toppling wave, shattered Doflamingo's hopeful ultimate strike, "God Thread," inch by inch, turning it into white debris scattering across the sky!

Under Doflamingo's horrified gaze, the unstoppable pitch-black giant fist struck his body directly.

With a terrifying sound like the world splitting apart, Doflamingo was slammed down from the sky by that horrifying monstrous strength.

His broken body not only pulverized the entire tower below...

...but its momentum continued, smashing him straight through the incredibly hard bedrock of Dressrosa.

Finally, this once-lofty king was embedded deep within the darkest depths of the underground ruins, unable to move a single inch.

The Heavenly Yaksha, Doflamingo, has been defeated!

The moment the culprit lost consciousness completely...

...the "Birdcage" that had shrouded the entire nation suddenly stopped its inward contraction.

Under the watch of the island's people, those indestructible sharp threads began to rapidly disintegrate.

They turned into a sky full of crystalline feathers of light, like a beautiful snowfall, drifting away in the smoke-filled air and vanishing into nothingness.

The residual power of the King Kong Gun had not yet subsided, its shockwave from the collision soaring into the high heavens.

The thick, lifeless clouds that had long shrouded Dressrosa were forcibly blasted open, creating a massive hole.

A ray of warm, brilliant golden sunlight pierced through the gap in the clouds like a waterfall from the nine heavens, shining precisely onto Luffy in mid-air, who had just released his Gear 4th form.

Citizens across the island looked up, gazing at the sky.

In that dawn that had blasted away the dark clouds and was filled with golden sunlight, they saw not a fearsome pirate...

...but a boy reaching his hands toward the sky, revealing a smile as brilliant and pure as the sun.

"We won..."

Watching the boy laughing lightheartedly in the sunlight, feeling the long-lost warmth shine once more upon their scarred bodies...

"Clang... Clang..."

The sounds of swords and guns dropping onto the stone slabs rose one after another, joining into a single chorus.

No one could hold on any longer, their legs giving way as they collapsed onto the ruins.

Casting aside status and barriers, they hugged those beside them tightly and wept aloud.

Tears washed away the blood on their faces and cleansed the ten years of gloom.

They knew that the long-dreamed-of freedom had finally descended upon this reborn nation at the break of dawn.
