Chapter 790

As the fight continues, Luffy flashes back to his training with Rayleigh, Rayleigh laughs at Luffy barely surviving an attack by a beast, and asks him what happened to the Kong Gun of which Luffy was so proud. Luffy says the beast he fought earlier was even bigger, and his Kong Gun proved ineffective. Rayleigh tells Luffy that Gear 4 wears down his body too much, and that he should come up with a better solution. Back in the fight, Doflamingo controls the beaten Luffy and makes him walk over to him. He says everyone should have been content being manipulated, and all this slaughter would have been avoided.

Luffy snaps upon hearing this, goes into Gear 4, rips apart the strings controlling him, and leaps into the air. Doflamingo is surprised that his strings were easily cut, but soon recovers and mocks Luffy, asking him how long his second use of Gear 4 will last. Leaping into the air, Doflamingo continues to mock Luffy for challenging him to an air fight. Luffy yells at Doflamingo, telling him that his desire to control and manipulate everything in his palm makes this place suffocating. Doflamingo responds that Luffy should blame that on his blood, and claims that he is different from “commoners”, calling them trash. He tries to capture Luffy with Spider Nest, but Luffy blows air into his already inflated Gear 4 muscles. Luffy readies his King Kong Gun, while Doflamingo tries to counter with God Thread, initiating a powerful attack consisting of 16 holy threads. However, Doflamingo’s attack proves ineffective against the King Kong Gun, which crushes the threads and Doflamingo along with it. Doflamingo is struck so severely that the lenses in his sunglasses instantly shatter and he is hammered straight into the ground. The impact force from the King Kong Gun instantly levels the nearby townscape, sending bystanders running in panic. Law stares at the aftermath of Luffy’s catastrophic attack and remembers the words of Donquixote Rosinante—that there are those who call the “D” clan “God’s natural enemy”. Doflamingo’s sunglasses fall off with the lens shattered.
