The pirates in town watched Little Oars Jr. and Doflamingo's group with excitement.
"The Fire Tank Pirates' giant, Oars, is fighting the Donquixote Family! This is interesting! This is gonna be a show!" The pirates were a bunch who loved to see trouble brewing, some even cheering and waving flags.
Little Oars Jr. closed the distance in two strides, his crimson-hot longsword suddenly swinging out. With this slash, the searing blade instantly burst into flames, unleashing a fiery sword beam over ten meters long. It instantly demolished the building Doflamingo and his crew had been on. The powerful flame beam continued its horizontal trajectory, slicing all subsequent buildings in half. Many pirates couldn't escape the slash and were bisected, burned to cinders. It carved a path tens of meters long before slamming into the ground, causing it to explode.
A small half of the town was left shattered and burning.
A massive gust of wind kicked up the surrounding rubble, making the hair of the spectating pirates stand on end, their faces frozen in expressions of dumbfounded shock.
"Holy sh—!"
Little Oars Jr.'s single slash had completely stunned all the pirates. They all recoiled in terror, distancing themselves from the battlefield.
Doflamingo and his four companions appeared on the ground, looking at the burning, demolished buildings behind them, their faces aghast.
"What a powerful slash! This guy cannot be underestimated," Diamante said gravely.
"Get him! Take him down!" Doflamingo's face was dark. He thrust his hands forward, and Five-Color Strings intertwined to form a giant string whip, lashing out at Little Oars Jr.
Little Oars Jr. severed the string whip with a single slash, then followed up with another, this one even more ferocious.
A chill ran down the spines of Doflamingo and his three executives. They swiftly dodged the attack. The massive flame sword beam tore a deep trench, tens of meters long, into the ground, directly cleaving through any buildings in its path.
"Great Earth Quake!" Pica's body drilled into the earth. The entire ground began to tremble, especially around Little Oars Jr., where the tremors were even more violent. The ground then shattered, making it impossible for Oars to even stand steadily.
At this moment, Doflamingo's figure flickered, two massive string whips in his hands lashing out at Little Oars Jr. once more.
Little Oars Jr. hurriedly swung his sword to block the string whips, but a figure appeared at his feet—it was Diamante.
"Serpent Sword!" Diamante's longsword instantly became as light and flowing as silk. He flicked it out, and the sword moved like a snake, directly piercing Little Oars Jr.'s thigh. Blood immediately gushed out.
Little Oars Jr., seemingly unfazed by the pain, lifted his leg to kick Diamante.
However, the ground beneath his feet rumbled violently, making him unsteady, and his kick missed.
Diamante let out a cold smirk. His snake-like longsword retracted, returning to its original shape, then shot out again like a serpent, continuously cutting at Little Oars Jr.'s thigh.
Little Oars Jr. could sense Diamante's sword but was powerless to stop it effectively. Doflamingo's string whips attacked him with increasing speed, and the ground beneath him shook madly, making his own attacks less accurate.
Before long, Little Oars Jr. had accumulated numerous wounds.
"The bigger the body, the easier it is to hit. The Young Master and their attacks are perfectly coordinated. This Oars won't last much longer," Lao G, who hadn't moved from a distance, sneered.
Little Oars Jr.'s expression grew darker. His body gradually began to change, slowly undergoing a beastly transformation. The wounds he had just received healed rapidly.
"Annoying pests! Get out here!" Little Oars Jr. roared, smashing his sword into the ground. The violent force directly shattered an area tens of meters wide, and a scorching, violent wind howled, toppling the surrounding buildings.
From the shattered earth, Pica was wretchedly thrown out, his face incredibly pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Then, Little Oars Jr. slashed towards Diamante. This strike was exceptionally ferocious. Diamante's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled up the cape behind him.
"Battle Flag!"
His cape instantly became as hard as iron. The longsword slashed onto the cape. Spurt!
Blood arced into the sky. Diamante bent over, his eyes bulging, his face contorted. He shot away like a streak of light, piercing through building after building, flying several hundred meters before crashing out of town and into a mountain. His hardened cape was in pieces, and a horrifying gash on his body had nearly cut him in two.
"Diamante!" Doflamingo's face was a mask of shock, then rage. Five-Color Strings danced madly from his hands, intertwining to form a massive, long cone, its tip coated in a black, gleaming Armament Haki.
"Fiendish Bullet God-Slayer!"
Doflamingo propelled this massive cone, which shot towards Little Oars Jr. with astonishing speed.
Little Oars Jr. sensed the danger. His longsword was instantly coated in Armament Haki as he swung it to meet the giant cone. Boom! The collision kicked up a monstrous gale that swept outwards, black lightning instantly flaring as their Armament Haki clashed violently.
Doflamingo's expression was grim; he could feel the terrifying power erupting from Oars' longsword.
"Get lost!" Little Oars Jr.'s muscles bulged, and an even more terrifying force burst forth, directly shattering the long cone. A massive slash erupted outwards, instantly cleaving Doflamingo's body.
However, Doflamingo's body was not flesh and blood but composed of countless fine strings, which instantly dispersed.
"Rock Giant Fist!"
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. An enormous rock fist struck Little Oars Jr.'s body, sending him staggering back more than ten steps.
Doflamingo landed on the ground, strings floating around him, veins bulging on his forehead. If he hadn't activated his String Marionette in time, he might have been killed by that single slash.
"Earth Vortex!"
Pica drilled back into the earth. The ground beneath Little Oars Jr. instantly began to churn violently, rolling like ocean waves and quickly forming a vortex. Little Oars Jr.'s feet were rapidly being sucked into it.
A figure appeared above Little Oars Jr.'s head—it was Lao G.
"Low Back Pain Style: Type Ice!"
His body spun, striking Little Oars Jr.'s shoulder with incredible speed. A series of booming sounds echoed from Oars' shoulder as the muscles there were battered.
"Insignificant bug! Get lost!" Little Oars Jr. swung his left hand towards Lao G, who agilely dodged the attack.
Leaving a series of afterimages in the air, Lao G ran up Little Oars Jr.'s body, reaching his front. Suddenly, Oars sensed a terrifying fist intent aimed at his eyes.
"Low Back Pain Style: Type Eye Puncture!"
Little Oars Jr. instantly coated his eyes with Armament Haki. Then, countless fist shadows bombarded his eyes, causing his Armament Haki to begin to crumble.
Little Oars Jr. slapped out with a palm, this time with even greater speed. Lao G quickly used Armament Haki, but an immense force, like a landslide, surged forth.
Lao G's Armament Haki directly shattered. The powerful force struck him, and Lao G shot away like a meteor, crashing into the earth and carving out a long trench of rubble before coming to rest on the ravaged ground.
"Bugs!" Little Oars Jr. opened his smarting eyes, his gaze disdainful as he snorted.
