Chapter 149 Doflamingo: Have You Seen My Prime?

Soon, Doflamingo adjusted his demeanor and spoke in a relaxed tone, saying, "It's just a greeting."

"Hahahaha, if you can't even break through my defense, how can you beat me?" Charlotte Linlin laughed and mocked.

Doflamingo remained silent, instead taking a deep breath. The aura surrounding his body began to shift, seemingly becoming more solid.

There was a bit of curiosity in Charlotte Linlin's eyes, and she knew in her heart that the enemy should not be given a chance during the battle, but at this moment, she really wanted to see if Doflamingo had more forms!?

"Jio-Ken · Profound Truth · All Return!" Doflamingo said in a low voice.

In Charlotte Linlin's vision, Doflamingo's figure seemed to swell. Initially appearing strong, Doflamingo now appeared significantly more robust, with a sense of muscular explosion exuding strength.

But it lasted only for a moment, almost in the blink of an eye. Doflamingo's swollen muscles and body rapidly reverted to their original form.

But Charlotte Linlin can feel that Doflamingo's aura is stronger than before!

"Is this your trump card?" Charlotte Linlin said with a look of disdain in her eyes: "If this is your trump card, then you are nothing more than that!

As soon as she finished speaking Doflamingo's figure had already appeared in front of her!

"Jio-Ken, Body Skill· Smashing Rock Fist!" Doflamingo exclaimed as he swiftly approached Charlotte Linlin. With a sudden step, he stood firm, his left and right hands extended as if drawing a bow. Then, his left hand clenched into a fist, delivering a swift and violent blow directly to Charlotte Linlin's abdomen!

Charlotte Linlin's abdomen suddenly caved in, her burly figure unable to withstand the pressure. Her feet were lifted off the ground by the powerful force and she was propelled backwards!

The difference from the previous sword strike is that Charlotte Linlin's expression at this time clearly reveals the agony she is experiencing!

With this punch, a white mist of sweat emerged from Doflamingo's body, before Charlotte Linlin was given a chance, his figure quickly continued his attack.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Charlotte Linlin's flying figure. Upon reaching her level in the sky, he once again executed an elbow strike, this time targeting Charlotte Linlin's head!

"Splitting Elbow!" Doflamingo growled.

But this time, Charlotte Linlin had no intention of giving Doflamingo another chance. She quickly crossed her arms to shield her face.

Then, Doflamingo's elbow struck with a bang, causing a loud explosion as the confrontation of Armament Haki directly blasted the ground apart from the air.

And Charlotte Linlin, who was enduring the force of the blow, was also driven into the ground from the air by the impact!

On her arm, the skin was slightly red, but it didn't penetrate her innards. After landing, she quickly got up, seizing the opportunity when Doflamingo attempted his third move to counterattack!

Napoleon seemed to extend from her arm, and at a tricky angle, it deflected Doflamingo's fierce attack. Simultaneously, the blade turned and struck Doflamingo's arm forcefully.

With a click, one of Doflamingo's arms was cut off!

The moment the two clashed, they swiftly moved apart once again. Charlotte Linlin frowned, clutching her stomach, and said, "You can't penetrate through this old lady's defense, so you intend to attack from within?"

The first punch just now carried an inexplicable force. Charlotte Linlin didn't understand what kind of technique it was at first. Later, when she resisted the second elbow, she suddenly remembered that this kind of attack seems to be using 'qigong'?

As far as she recalled, that technique was employed when she battled a pirate from West Blue, but evidently, that pirate didn't possess Doflamingo's resilience!

In addition to Qi, there was also the flow of Armament Haki, aiming to penetrate her seemingly indestructible skin and inflict direct harm on her internal organs.

It must be acknowledged that it had some effect, but almost simultaneously, the lightning-fast reaction speed of a top-tier powerhouse enabled Charlotte Linlin to also cloak her abdomen with incredibly powerfull Armament Haki.

But even so, she still felt the pain of the impact coursing through her inner organs.

On Doflamingo's side, his arm was severed from the elbow, and the dripping blood instantly transformed into threads, gushing out and swiftly adhering to the wound on the arm that had fallen to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the severed arm on the ground seemed to be drawn upward out of thin air, swiftly returning. Almost instantaneously upon attaching to the wound, his injury had fully recovered!

"Sure enough, a top expert like you would not leave such a big opening for me." Doflamingo said softly.

As early as when he was learning Elbaf's Gungnir on the Prehistoric Island of Little Garden, Doflamingo entered a very peculiar state. Subsequently, all the various skills he had learned before were discarded and stored, ingrained into his own instincts step by step. This formed the foundation of his fighting technique, evolving into a brand new style with his unique style.

However, it is obvious that Doflamingo did not give his fighting style a fancy name, and called it simply "Vampire Fist". (I have no idea what the fighting style translates into english, for now I will call it Vampire fist, but recommend any cool names). 

After all, he didn't intend to start a sect.

Although it may not have a specific name, since then, Doflamingo has acquired Jio Ken from Lao G, some physical techniques traded with Dragon, and various fighting skills and theories accumulated since his arrival in this world. These have all fused together to form a new set of physical skills that he can employ at will!

It can be said that, purely in terms of fighting skills, Doflamingo is already a master.

"Immortal..." Charlotte Linlin observed

Doflamingo's severed arm regenerate, no longer fixated on his previous combat techniques. Instead, she frowned, her expression growing serious.

There have long been rumors that Don Quixote Doflamingo possesses a self-healing ability akin to that of a monster, earning him the moniker of "immortal body." Charlotte Linlin did not believe that such rumors would be laced with exaggerated descriptions.

But after seeing Doflamingo recovering his crippled arm without blinking an eye, she had to admit that this guy really has some form of inmortality!

If this is still not his limit, then with this strong resilience alone, he should have a place among the world's strongest!

"But... No matter how formidable your self-healing power is, and no matter how strange your immortal body is, without the strength to back it up, you will be nothing more than a convenient punching bag!" Charlotte Linlin regained her composure, gazing at Doflamingo as she spoke. "Did you think that relying on this immortality it would be enough to glimpse into the world of the strong? Doflamingo... Next, I will get serious!"

As soon as Charlotte Linlin's voice fell, she immediately entered into a new state of transformation.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin held the thunder cloud Zeus in her left hand and the flame Prometheus in her right hand, while a potent aura of menace emanated from her eyes. Behind her, a tremendously terrifying phantom of her soul seemed to materialize.

"Come on, tremble, feel the fear!!!" Charlotte Linlin's eyes glowed with green light, and she declared to Doflaming with a whisper that reached the soul.

If during this process, Doflamingo had the slightest fear in his heart, then he would be defeated by the rules of the Soul Fruit, and Charlotte Linlin would be able to snatch his soul in an instant and directly declare the end of the battle. 

This is a commonly used technique by Linlin to spark fear in people.

As a top pirate, there are very few people in this world who have no fear of her.

Obviously, Doflamingo's eyes didn't change at all, he was completely exempt from Charlotte Linlin's fear aura, and at the same time, the sweaty white mist that originally pervaded his body gradually turned into a blood red color.

"Full return, second stage, blood boil!" Doflamingo said softly.

Charlotte Linlin stopped probing and entered into a serious state. Doflamingo did not dare to underestimate her, and immediately entered into his second state.

After mastering through practice, the profound essence of the Jio-Ken Fist has been enhanced to its fullest potential. It can now unleash all the vitality stored in his qi at will, enhancing his physical prowess in a comprehensive manner.

This marks the first stage. The second stage involves integrating his devil fruit abilities. Through extensive development, Doflamingo can manipulate the blood within his body, achieving rapid circulation. By incorporating certain principles and concepts from Qigong, he enters a state of boiling blood. In this heightened state, his physical prowess reaches even greater heights!

"Is this your full strength?" Charlotte Linlin asked with a grin.

Doflamingo's expression was very indifferent, his eyes fixed on Charlotte Linlin and said: "Full strength? You are not qualified yet!"

"Arrogant brat!" Charlotte Linlin roared.

In the next instant, her sword Napoleon elongated, wreathed in flames, as the towering figure of Charlotte Linlin surged towards Doflamingo with astonishing speed, bellowing: "Singing Lightsaber!"

Within the fiery blaze, the force of thunder surged, merging the two elements with the blade's slash into a unified, potent attack aimed squarely at Doflamingo.

"Explode, Xindu!" Doflamingo pulled out Xindu from his waist, held it up high, and roared.

Xindu is a peerless demon sword that has been passed down for a long time. At this moment, the blood around Doflamingo seemed to have found a home, and turned into a frenzy, rushing toward Xindu.

In just a short moment, Xindu's originally cold blade was dyed scarlet by the color of the blood mist!

As the eerie blood light flickered, Doflamingo showed no intention to evade. Confronting Charlotte Linlin's slash head-on, he countered with his own strike. "Storm Blood Slash!!!"

Initially, flames and lightning dispersed, but they were swiftly followed by Doflamingo's blood and the howling winds!

As these four energies merged, when the slashes of the two clashed, it appeared as if a dazzling array of colorful special effects had been activated, creating a stunning spectacle.

Amidst this brilliance, an overwhelming sense of murderous intent permeated the air! In the moment of deadlock, the Haki emanating from Charlotte Linlin's hands underwent a transformation, and simultaneously, so did Doflamingo's.

Two powerful Conqueror's haki erupted from the two of them simultaneously.

At the moment when the slashes meet, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, and the world changes color!

At the instant of collision, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the world seemed to end!

They seemed to see the scene where the sky and the sea were torn apart, and they seemed to hear the explosion of everything being smashed to pieces. But in a blink of an eye, it was as if nothing had happened.
