"Clear the area!"
Their gazes sharpened simultaneously, and Conqueror's Haki swept out. When three distinct Conqueror's Haki collided, a black-red lightning storm enveloped the entire arena.
"What?!"
Ideo's pupils trembled as he forcefully resisted the Conqueror's Haki impact, but soon his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
The other contestants fared even worse, unable to withstand the shock caused by the clashing Conqueror's Haki. One by one, they screamed as they were sent flying out of the arena.
The spectator stands also fell into chaos.
In the blink of an eye, only Daichi and the two others, along with some guests in the top VIP rooms, remained conscious within the gladiatorial arena.
In the Underground Emperors' room.
"Conqueror's Haki!"
"All three of them have it!"
"Big news, this is big news!"
Everyone was astonished.
If the Four Emperors themselves possessed Conqueror's Haki, they wouldn't find it strange; they would consider it natural. But of the three below, besides Joker, the other two were merely cadres under the Four Emperors.
Especially Daichi the Destroyer.
This monster, who had only recently debuted, actually possessed Conqueror's Haki. This was truly major news!
Stussy's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled out a small notebook to jot it down.
It listed Daichi's intelligence.
Lustful, fond of alcohol, no money...
Now, Conqueror's Haki was added!
In the gladiatorial arena.
"Fufufufu~~"
"You truly surprise me!"
"Daichi the Destroyer, I never expected you to also possess the qualifications of a king."
Doflamingo's smile was sinister.
The first time he met Daichi, he was certain Daichi was just a small fry. Although he punched him, it didn't cause him much harm.
It just hurt a little.
He had learned about the battle on Hachinosu and had seen Daichi's monstrous appearance after transforming. It was a very strong Mythical Zoan ability, but he wasn't worried.
His strings could cut through anything!
Regardless of whether the opponent was a Haki master or a giant monster, his ability could easily handle them.
But at this moment, Daichi actually displayed Conqueror's Haki.
This man seemed to be shrouded in layers of mystery, always pulling out something new, catching him off guard.
Daichi gave Doflamingo a strange look, then turned to Katakuri, wildly gesturing with both hands.
Katakuri's face was dark.
What did that mean? He didn't understand at all!
Even for sign language, the movements were far too irregular!
Katakuri took a deep breath, anticipating Daichi's next words, and his facial muscles twitched. He said coldly, "You speak. I won't steal your lines!"
"Oh, you said that yourself! If you steal my lines again, you're a puppy, or even a kitten!"
Daichi rattled off like a machine gun.
It was so hard for him not to have his lines stolen.
Katakuri's face turned black.
Is this guy a child? Who makes agreements like that?
Hmm?
Katakuri's expression shifted slightly, instinctively wanting to speak, but he immediately closed his mouth, feeling a bit stifled.
Daichi pointed at Doflamingo and sneered, "Katakuri, we agreed to a fight, but this guy came to mess things up. How about we take him out first and then duel? What do you think?"
Katakuri frowned and looked at Doflamingo.
How could a Warlord interfere in a conflict between Four Emperors? Even if the other party was Kaido's subordinate, it wasn't acceptable.
"Good!"
"Jie jiejie~~"
Daichi looked at Doflamingo, grinning and rubbing his hands together.
"Hey, hey, what kind of joke is this?!"
Doflamingo's smile gradually vanished, and veins bulged on his forehead, clearly indicating extreme anger.
He had intended to use the tournament as an excuse to settle things with Daichi, and even Kaido wouldn't be able to say anything.
But what was happening now?!
According to his plan, if there was a team-up, it should be him and Katakuri joining forces, with Daichi as their common enemy.
Doflamingo's face was covered in bulging veins as he angrily demanded, "Katakuri, have you lost your mind?!"
Katakuri's face had already turned cold a step ahead, clearly anticipating Doflamingo's words. With a frosty expression, he pulled out his trident from his wrist.
The next moment, Daichi and Katakuri charged at Doflamingo simultaneously.
"Sky Path!"
Doflamingo's expression changed drastically. He wrapped his strings around the clouds, his body rapidly ascending into the air.
Facing two top cadres at once, he had no chance of winning. Only by gaining air superiority could he possibly win?
"I hate it most when someone flies in front of me!"
Daichi stomped hard on the ground!
"Precipice Blades!"
A massive stone pillar shot up from the ground, piercing towards Doflamingo at an extremely fast speed.
Facing the attack from below, Doflamingo could only dodge to the side, but Katakuri, who had foreseen the future, had already positioned himself and appeared in front of him.
His right arm transformed into a spinning mochi mass, enveloping his trident, and spun as it thrust towards Doflamingo's chest!
"Mochi Thrust!!!"
"Spider's Web!"
At the critical moment, Doflamingo raised his palm, and a spiderweb made of strings spread out, blocking in front of him!
But facing a thrust attack that concentrated power into a single point, the spiderweb was instantly penetrated. The tip of the trident pierced into Doflamingo's shoulder, pinning him against the stone pillar behind him!
A nearly perfect collaboration!
"Pfft!"
Doflamingo spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The combined attack of the two powerhouses made it difficult for him to defend, especially Katakuri, who not only possessed terrifying future sight but also incredibly strong Armament Haki.
The moment he was pierced, he tried to use Armament Haki to defend, but it was instantly overwhelmed by Katakuri's Haki.
"Young Master!"
In the VIP room, Doflamingo's subordinates shouted in horror, their hearts filled with anger that their Young Master was being ganged up on.
"Support the Young Master!"
Everyone immediately rose, but they were quickly intercepted by another group of people.
It was the ministers of Totto Land!
Besides Oven and the two others, many ministers had accompanied Katakuri.
Daifuku, Charlotte Smoothie...
All of them were world-renowned monsters.
"Don't break the rules of the tournament!"
Facing the might of the Four Emperors' crew, the cadres of the Donquixote Family gnashed their teeth in anger but dared not make a move.
The terror of the Four Emperors was deeply ingrained in their hearts!
Inside the gladiatorial arena.
Katakuri was in mid-air, holding the trident with his left hand for leverage, while his right arm transformed into a near-block of mochi covered in Armament Haki.
"Square Mochi!"
A heavy punch slammed into Doflamingo's abdomen. The penetrating force shattered the stone pillar behind Doflamingo, and at the same time, the punch carried Doflamingo, throwing him towards Daichi below!
Daichi had already bent his knees to gather strength, leaping up like a cannonball, his Haki-clad knee meeting Doflamingo!
"Storm Eagle Kick!"
"Bang!"
His knee slammed into Doflamingo's chest. After a brief stalemate, he sent Doflamingo flying into the sky. Then, Daichi, whose momentum remained unchecked, embraced the inverted, falling Doflamingo.
Full power! All out!
"Lethal Spiral Piledriver!"
The two, locked in an embrace, spun as they fell!
"Boom!!!"
The earth rumbled, and dust billowed!
When the dust settled, Doflamingo was impaled in the ground, his life unknown.
Daichi pointed both fingers to the sky!
Win!
Just then, Katakuri appeared beside Daichi and spoke coldly.
"It's not over yet!"
"Hmm?"
Daichi raised an eyebrow slightly, and quickly noticed something unusual.
Like frost, lines spread outwards from Doflamingo, soon covering half the arena.
"Fufufufu~~"
Doflamingo's feet landed on the ground, his body rising with the push of the strings. His blood-stained face once again showed his signature smile.
The moment he hit the ground, he used his Awakening power to turn the ground into soft strings, thus avoiding serious injury.
"Fufufufu, what if I face two people at once? In front of my Awakening power, numbers mean nothing!"
Doflamingo's face was contorted in a sneer.
Suffering another major loss pushed his anger to the extreme. He was a supremely noble Celestial Dragon, a king!
He accepted being defeated by Kaido!
But what were these two? Why did they think they could defeat him? Whether in terms of identity, status, or bloodline, he was superior to both of them!
Daichi looked at Katakuri, shrugging helplessly. This guy would have been much better off just lying there pretending to be dead; he was being so stubborn.
Now, great, he had to fight him again.
"Whoosh!"
Daichi ripped off his clothes, his body expanding.
Transformation!
The ground beneath Katakuri's feet turned into mochi, and two extra-large mochi donuts appeared on either side of his body, from which two massive steel arms extended.
Awakening!
Two people, six fists!
"EX Atomic Iron Fist!"
"Unstoppable Donuts!"
Oh oh oh!!!
Take this, Doflamingo!!!
This is our burning hot bonded combo attack!!!
"Ultimate Storm: Peerless Barrage!!!"
