BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Violent tremors continuously erupted from the underground harbor.
Even from far away, deafening explosions could still be heard rumbling beneath the earth.
The ground throughout Dressrosa began cracking apart.
So areas even started collapsing completely.
Through the collapsed sections, two figures could be seen moving at astonishing speed, clashing against each other again and again.
Every collision sent sparks and black lightning exploding outward.
At this point, Boa Python had already withdrawn his full beast transformation.
Although he had taken Doflamingo seriously from the start, deep down he had still looked down on him sowhat.
In Boa Python's eyes, Doflamingo's current status ca mainly from his underground dealings and business influence.
He was a broker of the dark world who thrived by maintaining connections on all sides.
That was why he had managed to build such a massive force and beco one of the Seven Warlords appointed by the World Governnt to balance the Four Emperors.
As for his personal combat strength?
Boa Python initially hadn't thought much of it.
But once the battle truly began, he realized he had been completely wrong.
Doflamingo's strength far exceeded his expectations.
He was not weaker than him in the slightest.
That realization forced Boa Python to abandon his giant beast form and return to human form to continue fighting.
Boa Python possessed the Ancient Zoan Savage Giant Python Fruit.
Like all Zoan users, he could transform into both hybrid and full beast forms.
And once transford into the enormous prehistoric python, he gained terrifying destructive power.
However, while that gigantic body was overwhelmingly effective against weaker opponents, against soone on Doflamingo's level…
It beca a massive target instead.
Doflamingo's String-String Fruit was particularly troubleso in battle.
Invisible threads were constantly being spread throughout the battlefield like an enormous spider web.
During combat, those threads would gradually wrap around Boa Python's huge body.
That was extrely disadvantageous for him.
If he stayed in human form, only a small number of threads could bind him at once, and with his monstrous strength and Armant Haki, he could forcibly tear through them.
But in giant beast form, the surface area was simply too massive.
One or two threads were easy to break.
But once countless threads wrapped around him simultaneously, even soone as powerful as Boa Python would find it extrely difficult to tear free.
After suffering several losses because of that, he decisively returned to human form.
Of course, that didn't an he stopped using his Devil Fruit powers.
Suddenly, one of his arms transford into a gigantic serpent head, opening its enormous jaws and lunging toward Doflamingo as if to swallow him whole.
Whenever Doflamingo's strings bound him, Boa Python would violently tear them apart with brute force.
Then he would counterattack imdiately—
A kick transford into a gigantic python tail that swept across the battlefield with terrifying force.
The monstrous strength behind it was enough to shatter massive stone pillars and steel apart effortlessly.
Just getting hit once by that enormous tail would be enough to severely injure even Doflamingo.
At the sa ti, Boa Python's Armant and Observation Haki were both extraordinarily powerful.
Doflamingo's strings had already wrapped around him many tis during the battle.
Yet Boa Python repeatedly tore free through sheer force alone.
Even when Doflamingo's attacks managed to wound him, Boa Python seed almost unaffected.
And even his injuries recovered at astonishing speed.
But Doflamingo was equally terrifying.
He had developed the String-String Fruit to an extrely high level.
With a casual movent of his hand, razor-sharp threads sliced through the air.
Those strings were sharper than blades.
Combined with his mastery of all three types of Haki, Doflamingo's overall strength was only a small step away from Admiral level.
Neither side gave an inch.
The battle beca increasingly intense.
The entire underground harbor had practically been destroyed by their clash.
If the surrounding civilians hadn't already been evacuated by the Donquixote Family, panic would likely have already spread throughout all of Dressrosa.
"What a terrifying battle…" Law muttered in shock as he watched from afar.
"Their strength is unbelievable."
Although he had always known Doflamingo and Boa Python were powerful, he had never imagined they were powerful to this extent.
Especially after witnessing Boa Python's true strength now, Law realized sothing clearly—
Earlier, when Boa Python fought against them…
He hadn't even been using much of his real power.
The realization made Law deeply aware of just how weak he still was.
"That giant brute actually moves incredibly fast," Pica said in surprise.
"To be able to fight Young Master this intensely…"
"Hehehe… Doffy still hasn't shown everything yet," Trebol laughed.
"Doffy's strength goes far beyond this."
"After all…"
"He's already mastered that power."
"The ultimate ability of Devil Fruits…"
"Awakening."
"That's right," Diamante added confidently.
"Once Doffy uses his awakened ability, even Boa Python won't be able to withstand him."
"Not bad, not bad."
At that mont, a voice suddenly sounded behind them without warning.
"That's quite an intense battle."
"It seems Doffy's developed his Devil Fruit rather nicely over the years."
Everyone turned around instantly.
There, sitting casually atop a large rock, was Rosinante.
A bottle of alcohol rested in his hand, with a few small dishes of food beside him.
He was leisurely eating and drinking while casually watching the battle unfold like it was entertainnt.
Naturally, it was Rosinante.
[When did he get there?!]
Law's pupils contracted sharply in shock.
Not just him—
Aside from Trebol and the few others who already understood Rosinante's strange abilities, everyone else was equally horrified.
None of them had sensed his arrival at all.
If Rosinante hadn't spoken first, they never would've realized soone had appeared behind them.
And if he had intended to attack them…
They probably wouldn't even have known how they died.
The more they thought about it, the colder sweat poured down their backs.
"Hm?" Rosinante looked at them curiously.
"Why do all of you look so pale?"
"Are you okay?"
You're asking us that?!
Everyone felt utterly speechless inside, but not a single one dared say it aloud.
After all—
This man was not only their Young Master's younger brother…
He was also a terrifying monster whose strength even Doflamingo himself could not hope to match.
A being comparable to Kaido himself.
