BOOM!
Rumble!
A transparent, crystalline giant, over ten meters tall, wildly hammered at the ground, creating dozens of craters of all sizes.
"Spider's Web!"
Doflamingo held out a hand, and a massive amount of thread erupted, weaving a large, multi-meter-wide spiderweb in front of him.
CRASH!
The glass giant charged forward, swinging its heavy hammer directly into the web. The air vibrated, and a powerful gust of wind rushed through the gaps in the web, causing the feathers of Doflamingo's coat to flutter wildly.
After blocking the giant's attack, Doflamingo leapt into the air, aiming a claw-like strike directly at the giant's hammer-wielding right arm.
Shing!
BOOM!
The glass giant's right arm was immediately sliced into several pieces by the sharp, razor-thin threads. The severed limb and hammer crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble repeatedly.
Whoosh!
With its right arm severed, the giant swung its left, smacking its palm at Doflamingo in mid-air.
BAM!
Caught off guard, Doflamingo was hit head-on and sent flying over two hundred meters before landing on the ground, carving a clear trench in the dirt.
"You damn piece of trash!"
Doflamingo stood up at the end of the trench, his face cold. He extended his right hand behind him, and dozens of nearly transparent, hair-thin threads shot from his palm. The threads then intertwined to form a thick, rope-like strand that he whipped forward.
Swoosh!
Shing!
The thick strand was incredibly fast, covering over two hundred meters in the blink of an eye. It sliced through the one-armed glass giant like a hot knife through butter, severing it at the waist.
BOOM!
The upper half of the giant slid off, hitting the ground with a heavy thud. The sheer weight of the seven-to-eight-meter-tall glass body made the earth shake.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In another area, another Doflamingo, with his hands shaped like claws and sheathed in razor-sharp threads, clashed with Caesar, who wielded a glass cruciform sword.
"You glass bastard! Let me pierce you!"
Doflamingo leaped up, raising his arm and swinging it down. At the same time, he created five nearly transparent, hair-thin threads from each of his five fingers, forming a rake-like fan of threads.
Fallbright!
Instantly, the ground beneath Caesar turned to glass, forming a thick, transparent, spherical shield that protected him.
Glass Bulwark!
Shing!
However, the incredibly sharp threads pierced straight through the glass shield.
"What?!"
Caesar was startled and quickly tried to dodge, but one of the threads still pierced his left arm and pinned it to the ground.
"You scumbag!"
Dismissing the glass shield, Caesar held his sword in his right hand and swung it at Doflamingo in mid-air.
Silver Shard!
"Fuffuffuffu! Athlete!" Instead of meeting the attack head-on, Doflamingo, having gained the advantage, immediately released his hold on the threads and dropped. He then swept his leg out, with eight nearly transparent, sharp threads extending from his toes.
CLANG!
A crisp clang of metal on metal rang out as Doflamingo's metallic, blackened right foot slammed into Caesar's cruciform longsword. A terrifying shockwave of air instantly exploded, sweeping in all directions.
Caesar had been too hasty in his defense and was only using one arm, so he couldn't match Doflamingo's power. After a one-second standoff, he couldn't hold on and was kicked away.
"Fuffuffuffu! Die!"
Doflamingo cackled, waving his hands forward. The ground immediately transformed into a pure white field of soft threads, and countless strands rose up. Thousands of these strands, with tips hardened by Armament Haki, then formed the shape of flamingo wings and surged toward Caesar, as if to pierce him a thousand times over.
Flapping Thread!
"This is bad!"
Caesar was terrified. He quickly dispersed the longsword in his hand and slammed both palms onto the ground. The earth transformed into a field of transparent glass, and nine thick glass walls rose up, three in each of the three directions, completely shielding him.
Awakening... Multiple Glass Bulwark!
CLANG!
Like the meeting of a needle and a spear point, the thousands of fine threads fiercely pierced the glass walls. The air sharply vibrated as a powerful surge of turbulent air erupted, rolling outward like a hurricane and sweeping across the area for hundreds of meters.
"That was close!"
Looking at the dense network of threads that had pierced through two of the thick glass walls, Caesar's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
"Too bad, they were blocked!" Doflamingo shook his head, his face showing a hint of pity.
Suddenly, Doflamingo's expression turned grim, and he said with a sinister tone, "But let's see how you block this one!"
With that, Doflamingo spread his arms, and the white landscape of threads below him suddenly expanded. The ground surged like a tumultuous sea as more than ten massive white wave-threads rose up, coated with a high-density Armament Haki, and shot forward at an incredible speed.
16 Holy Assassin's Bullets: God Thread!
"You damn feathered bird! Let's end this!"
At this point, Caesar had lost his earlier aristocratic composure. His handsome face was now twisted, and he shrieked hysterically. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet also turned into transparent glass. The entire earth peeled away, forming a tsunami of glass that surged forward in waves, like a tidal wave on the sea, as if to devour everything in its path.
Glass... Endless Tidal Wave!
BOOM!
RUMBLE... RUMBLE... RUMBLE!
Deafening roars and crashes echoed one after another as the land for several kilometers around was rocked by a violent earthquake. At the same time, a terrifying force of air spread out, creating a fierce tremor in the atmosphere. Visible white gusts of wind rolled like a hurricane, sweeping across the surrounding area for hundreds of meters.
"No... no!"
Through the smoke of the dust-filled air, a shocked and disbelieving Caesar watched helplessly as the sixteen great white wave-threads cut through the entire glass tsunami and pierced his body.
At the same time, while the sixteen white threads had pierced the glass tsunami, the tidal wave of glass was so widespread that even though they had broken through, they didn't stop its surge. Doflamingo didn't even have time to escape before he was enveloped by the glass tsunami.
Shortly after, both sides' attacks ceased.
Caesar was impaled by the sixteen great white wave-threads and hung in mid-air like a tattered sack, a large amount of his blood staining the ground below.
Meanwhile, Doflamingo was buried in the glass, with only his nose and mouth left exposed. If he had been even a moment slower, he would have been completely submerged and crushed within the glass tsunami.
