Sengoku spoke in a deep voice.
He looked toward El, and they saw the Perfect Truth-Seeking Ball that had just exploded slowly floating back to El's side.
It showed absolutely no sign of disappearing!
"How is this possible?! Can he use those things infinitely?!"
Garp shouted in shock.
If that was true… then they truly had no chance at all!
"We were naive… so incredibly naive!" Zephyr said bitterly. "We actually thought we could win… yet we can't even deal with a single floating sphere!"
His words were harsh, but they were the truth.
As long as those orbs were there, their attacks were useless. And getting close meant risking instant death!
El had only released a fraction of the orb's power earlier; that was merely a crude display. He had no intention of wasting energy like that anymore.
By now, El was fully clad in the garments of the Sage of Six Paths.
A pristine white robe adorned with magatama symbols at the collar—simple, yet exuding an aura of absolute majesty.
In his hand appeared the Six Paths Staff, formed from Truth-Seeking Balls, shaped with a sun on one end and a moon on the other.
It was one of the most powerful weapons in existence, capable of leveling continents and destroying worlds.
The full power of the Ten-Tails coursed through him, causing crimson steam to rise continuously from his body.
His presence was like that of a demon god, terrifying and inescapable.
Just by standing there, the very air around him seemed to warp and bend.
"This… this is the power of a god…"
From a distance, Doflamingo took an involuntary step back, looking at El as if he were looking at a divine entity.
He finally understood what true power meant.
Compared to El… those Celestial Dragons who called themselves gods were nothing but pathetic jokes!
"Let's get out of here!" Diamante stammered, his courage completely gone. "This pressure is too much! I'm scared just watching… we might get killed!"
"That's not even the scariest part!" Diamante continued, looking at Doflamingo. "His power… it's still growing!"
Earlier, El had fought Sengoku and Garp to a standstill.
Now, in this Six Paths mode, he was facing three of them at once, completely unharmed, while injuring his opponents. And he was barely breaking a sweat!
Diamante had come here just to watch the show, thinking it didn't matter who won.
But now he realized he was wrong.
El's power was so vast it could easily spill over and kill them just by accident. Even watching from far away was dangerous.
"No! I am not leaving!"
Doflamingo said firmly. "Battles at this level… you only get to see them once in a lifetime! How could I possibly miss this?"
He had already accepted reality. The Op-Op Fruit was gone. With El here, he had zero chance.
But Doflamingo had the heart of a conqueror too. He dreamed of being the strongest in the world.
And right now, the strongest man in the world was fighting right in front of him. He would not look away.

On the battlefield, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru regrouped.
Garp and Zephyr were clearly injured, blood staining their clothes.
"Garp, Zephyr… can you two still fight?" Sengoku asked seriously.
"What kind of question is that?!" Garp laughed loudly. "These little scratches are nothing!"
"Exactly!" Zephyr roared back. "We have already thrown our lives away! What does pain matter to us now?!"
Sengoku looked at his old comrades and smiled.
It wasn't a happy smile, but one of absolute resolve, ready to face death.
"I see everyone is ready. Then… let us give it everything we have!"
"Garp," Zephyr suddenly said, looking at the Hero of the Marines. "We need to change our strategy. From now on… you are the main attacker!"
None of them were surprised.
They were all roughly equal in strength, but when it came to raw destructive power and piercing ability… no one compared to Garp, the man known as "Iron Fist".
If anyone could break through El's defense, it had to be him.
"Here is the plan," Sengoku commanded quickly. "Zephyr and I will block his attacks and create openings. Garp… you strike with everything you've got!"
"Tsuru… you wait for your chance. Use your Wash-Wash Fruit to 'clean' away his power!"
In this situation, Tsuru's ability was their only hope. If she could wash away the Six Paths energy flowing inside El… their chances of winning would skyrocket.
El looked at the four legendary figures standing against him, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.
He could defeat them easily in this form, of course.
But their willpower was annoyingly strong. Even injured, they refused to fall.
He was starting to get impatient.
"Too slow… everything is just too slow."
El shook his head.
"Fine. It is time… to use my killing technique!"
El began to channel the power inherited from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Beneath his skin, his bones began to shift and grow rapidly!
From El's hands, long, grey bones protruded out—sharp, hard, and deadly.
"What is that?!"
Garp stared, confused. Bones growing out of his body? Was he planning to use those as weapons?
"Stop thinking and attack NOW!"
Zephyr shouted, unable to wait any longer. He shot forward like an arrow!
"ZEPHYR! DON'T!"
Sengoku and Tsuru tried to stop him.
There was something unnatural and terrifying about the technique El was preparing. They needed to be careful.
But Zephyr was already too fast. It was too late to stop him!
El looked at the charging Marine Admiral and waved his hand casually.
"All-Killing Ash Bones!"
