Chapter 784

On the Flower Field, Cavendish marvels that the dwarves managed to stitch Law’s arm back on and hopes that it will heal properly. Cavendish then tells Law that when he was in the Underground Trading Port, he had realized that if Luffy and Law managed to defeat Doflamingo, the effects would be felt all over the world and the two of them would become the center of the storm, and Law replies that is what they are after. On the palace rooftop, Luffy begins activating Gear 4, kicking his sandals off. He then covers his left arm in Armament Haki and blows into it, inflating the muscles and causing his arm to assume massive proportions. Luffy continues blowing, resulting in his entire torso becoming incredibly large.

Gear 4: Boundman is finally activated, which causes Luffy to constantly bounce around. Doflamingo laughs, expressing his disappointment that Gear 4, which he expected to be an ace up Luffy’s sleeve, was nothing more than Luffy using his elasticity to bounce around. Luffy replies that during his two-year training on Rusukaina, this form was necessary to subdue the beasts on it into submission. Doflamingo states that he is still confused as Luffy sinks his fist into his body, which astonishes the Warlord. Luffy then releases his fist as he strikes Doflamingo, the sheer force of which sends Doflamingo flying all the way toward the streets of Dressrosa.

Doflamingo’s hard landing destroys several buildings and causes the fleeing Dressrosa citizens to stare in shock at Doflamingo lying on the ground. Doflamingo slowly manages to get up, and a Marine asks him how he got here. Doflamingo testily answers that he would also like to know, and his barely contained rage sends the panicked citizens fleeing, though they quickly realize with a shock that Doflamingo is on one side and the Torikago is on the other. Doflamingo then stares up toward the palace as he sees with a shock that Luffy is using his elasticity to fly down towards him. Suddenly, Luffy disappears from sight, but quickly reappears behind Doflamingo as he dropkicks the Warlord. The citizens stare in shock at Luffy’s action and become even more perturbed when they see Luffy bouncing down the street. Doflamingo flies through several buildings before flying upwards in a rage, trying to understand Luffy’s new form. Luffy quickly jumps up and attacks Doflamingo with Gomu Gomu no Culverin, but Doflamingo manages to evade the strike and flies behind Luffy, attacking him with Athlete. However, the kick does not penetrate Luffy’s rubber body, even though it is covered in Armament Haki. Luffy then repels Doflamingo as he attacks the Warlord again. However, this time Luffy redirects its path to follow an evading Doflamingo, succeeding in punching Doflamingo in the face.
