Chapter 69: The Tables Turn Instantly
"There's no need to waste words on them!" Gion shouted, her legendary sword, Konpira, already drawn!
SHING!!
The blade left its scabbard, and a silver slash of Haki cut a deep trench in the stone dock, racing straight for Doflamingo!
"Spider's Web!"
Doflamingo's fingers twitched, and a thick, web-like shield of strings erupted from the ground, just barely blocking the attack!
BOOM!
The sword-wave and the string-shield exploded. The shockwave tore across the port, and Doflamingo was forced to take a step back, the stone beneath his feet cracking.
He wiped a trickle of blood from his lip, his face dark. "Damn... Tsuru's protege... her sword skills are even deadlier than the rumors said!"
He threw his head back and roared, "Everyone, attack!! Kaido is on his way! All we have to do is hold them off, and we win!!"
"Fufufu... Marines!! You think you can take Dressrosa so easily?!"
"KILL THEM!!!"
The battlefield exploded into chaos!
Gion found herself surrounded by three of the family's officers. She just scoffed, her eyes flashing with contempt. "Heh... To send just three of you... you're looking down on me."
"Art... IS AN EXPLOSION!!!"
Gladius roared, his arms and helmet swelling as he prepared to detonate!
Before he could, Gion was on him, her foot stomping the ground as she flashed forward in a blur.
Swish!
Her blade, coated in Armament Haki, came down, splitting Gladius's helmet in two before he could trigger the explosion. He was sent flying.
At the same time, Buffalo was in the air, his propellers spinning. "Spinning-Blade Hurricane!"
He sent a storm of air-slashes down at her.
Gion didn't even look up. "Cloud-Flow: Sever Wind."
She flicked her wrist, and a single, precise slash cut the air itself, creating a vortex that sucked in Buffalo's attack and sent it right back at him!
"Wha—?!"
CRASH! His propellers shattered, and he was blasted from the sky.
Finally, Jora aimed her paintbrush at Gion. "Ugly-Art: Distort!"
A bizarre wave of energy shot at Gion, designed to warp her appearance and perception.
Gion didn't even bother using her blade. She took one step forward and...
"BAM!"
...slapped Jora across the face with the flat of her sword, sending her spinning into her own canvas.
In the blink of an eye, all three officers were down. Gion stood calmly, her "Justice" coat flapping in the wind.
"Is that all you've got?"
While Gion handled her side, Doflamingo led his five strongest officers—Trebol, Pica, Diamante, Senor Pink, and Lao G—in a pincer attack on Roy!
"Kill him!!" Doflamingo shrieked, leading the charge. "Ever White!"
The entire ground turned into a churning sea of razor-sharp, Awakened strings!
"Nee, nee! Sticky-Chain!" Trebol launched a glob of flammable mucus.
"G-Punch!" Lao G leaped forward, his ancient muscles tensed.
"Army Flag: Slash!" Diamante's sword rippled like a banner.
"Stone-Fist!" Pica's giant rock hand erupted from the ground!
And Senor Pink dived into the ground, "swimming" through the stone, looking for a surprise attack from below.
Six of the family's strongest, all at once. The killing intent was so thick it made the air whine.
Roy, however, just stood there, his expression cold.
The wind rustled his coat. He slowly pulled his right hand from his pocket.
"Is that it?"
He smiled, drawing his fist back as black, lightning-like Haki coiled around his arm.
The next second—
"Haki Fist: Instant... Six-Strike."
BOOOOM!!!
The ground exploded! The air tore apart!
Six spectral afterimages of his fist flashed, warping through space, and appeared instantaneously in front of each attacker!
First Punch! Lao G's "G-Punch" was still in mid-air when his chest caved in. He was blasted backward at supersonic speed, smashing through three stone walls before he hit the ground, unconscious.
Second Punch! Diamante's sword shattered into a million pieces. The punch hit him square in the chest, breaking every rib and sending him flying, vomiting blood.
Third Punch! Senor Pink had just emerged from the ground, his face set in a grin, when the fist came down from above, smashing him and the pavement he was on into a deep, cone-shaped crater.
Fourth Punch! Pica's giant stone fist was shattered, the shockwave hitting his real body inside, sending him crashing out of the rock, severely wounded.
Fifth Punch! Trebol's "Sticky-Chain" was vaporized on contact. The Haki-infused fist burned straight through the mucus and hit him in the gut, sending him flying a hundred meters into a crane, his body bent at an unnatural angle.
Sixth Punch!
Doflamingo's "Ever White" string-wave was torn apart like wet paper. The shockwave of the sixth punch shredded the front of his precious feather coat!
BOOM!!!!
Six punches. Six knockouts. The entire port shook.
Doflamingo, who had been charging, skidded to a halt, his pose frozen, his entire body trembling as cold sweat poured down his face.
"H... How...?!"
"He... he didn't even move... and he...!!"
His eyes darted back and forth, from his five defeated officers, to the young man who was just standing there, his breathing perfectly calm.
Is this guy... human?!
Roy slowly lowered his fist and took a step forward. Each step was a heavy drumbeat.
He looked at Doflamingo, his voice as cold as the polar ice. "What's wrong, Your Majesty? The 'Warlord of the Sea'?"
"Now... it's just you, little flamingo."
