How does the fight between Luffy and Doflamingo go?

After withstanding the full force of Law's attack, Doflamingo gets back to his feet, surprising everyone present. Standing up, he states that thanks to Law's chatter, he had enough time to administer first aid, explaining that his sons are currently healing the internal injuries sustained during Law's attack, highlighting the versatility of his abilities.

But despite the fact that he cannot call this operation healing or regeneration, he nevertheless congratulated Law for committing suicide and now he is going to personally take his life, after which he tries to smash his skull with his own foot, but is stopped by Straw Hat Luffy, who puts his foot over Law's head, preventing him from killing him.

After that, while continuing to keep his foot on Law, Doflamingo asked the Straw Hat Pirates why he stopped him because he only wanted to crush Law's head, after which he tries to kill him again by charging his leg with Armament Haki, but the Straw Hat Pirates stops him again, also using Armament Haki. This caused a clash between the two Haki, resulting in Law being thrown out of the battle scene.

At the same time, after ending the confrontation, Luffy charged his legs with Armament Haki and attacked him twice, however, Doflamingo, charging his arm with Armament Haki, blocked his blows, after which Luffy attacked his torso and landed several blows to the face, after which he was attacked by "Gomu Gomu no Eagle Bazooka".

However, after dodging his attack, Doflamingo charges at Luffy with Armament Haki and attacks Luffy with "Athlete Thread", after which, despite blocking with Armament Haki, Doflamingo inflicts slashing damage, forcing him to fly out of the palace. However, before he can take off, Trebol traps him in his own body, rendering him unable to move, then tells "Doffy" that he will borrow the Straw Hat while he kills Law.

After regaining his composure and noticing that Straw Hat Luffy saved Trafalgar Law and threw him out of the palace where he was caught by Nico Robin, he orders him to mind his own business and attacks him with "Tamaito", but at the same time Luffy attacks him with "Gomu Gomu no Hawk Whip". Cavendish protects Robin using the "Precious Metal Axe".

However, not taking much damage, Doflamingo turns to the Straw Hat again, stating that he is wrong about Law, as as long as Law is alive, he will suffer and it would be much more humane to alleviate his torment, however, the Straw Hat only stated that if Doflamingo wanted to do it so badly, he should do it over his corpse, to which Doflamingo basically agrees.

At the same time, Straw Hat also stated that Doflamingo himself is not in the best shape, especially after Law's attack, after which he attacks him with "Gomu Gomu no Eagle Bazooka", which throws Doflamingo out of the palace. However, after being able to cover part of his body with Haki before his blow, Doflamingo was able to defend himself without taking any damage, after which, continuing to fly, he noted that he was quite fast, but his striking power was ridiculous, suggesting that he wanted to "tickle him to death".

At the same time, Doflamingo, using "Overheat", attacks Luffy, severing part of the palace and inflicting heavy damage, after which he approaches him and states that this whole fight brings back so many memories of how he defeated Crocodile and fell from the sky at Marineford, noting that he was impressed by his ability to survive, but now he stood in his way.

After that, he violently kicks Luffy, causing part of the palace to collapse. However, after managing to hold his own, the Straw Hat Pirates continue to fight Doflamingo, causing the two to clash once again. Thus, later, Luffy attacks him with "Gomu Gomu no Grizzly Magnum", however, due to his speed, Doflamingo dodges his blow and delivers a powerful blow to the face, finding it open on all sides, after which he slams into a stone floor, reminding him of his promise.

While still in the air, Doflamingo repeats his words again, saying that the Straw Hats only have one hour left before "Tori Kago" shrinks into a thin thread, after which he is intrigued by the question of who will die first: those who cannot move on their own, the sick and old, chained to their beds, or small children who have not yet left their mothers' wombs.

He then surmised that: in 30 minutes, it will be known when the people of the country will begin to die; in 40 minutes, the air will be filled with screams and moans; in 50 minutes, the entire country will be painted red and crushed like a ripe tomato; in an hour, nothing will remain of the country. After finishing with this, Doflamingo also expressed his doubts that the Straw Hat Pirates care about the fate of this country, however, he assured him that by dying, the people of this country would curse his crew, because if they had not come to this country, peace and tranquility would have continued to reign there.

However, upon hearing his words, Luffy stated that everything he said was absurd and that the world he spoke of was just a fake, which made Doflamingo laugh. After listening to him, Doflamingo stated that wherever he goes, there are losers everywhere and if everyone is helped, it will never end, while not understanding Luffy's desire to make himself a "hero," stating that everything he does is only getting his way.

However, at that moment, Straw Hat declares that he is actually the one standing in his way and that is why he will not let anyone die, after which he uses "Gear Fourth", which confuses Doflamingo to some extent. As a result, after seeing a demonstration of Luffy's transition in "Gear Fourth", Doflamingo noticed how much Luffy had grown, becoming almost the same size as him.

Later, after learning that he had become a "rubber man," Doflamingo thought it was a joke, as he truly thought he had an "ace in the hole," and instead decided to add elasticity to himself, not realizing how much it could help him. However, at the same time, Luffy attacked him with "Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun," which surprised Doflamingo as his arm retracted inside him, after which he charged his hands with Armament Haki and attempted to block his attack.

But despite the block, Luffy lands a powerful blow on Doflamingo, sending him flying towards the center of the country, destroying the city's buildings along the way. Upon recovering and standing up, he notices the locals, intrigued by his appearance, after which he tells them that he doesn't understand how he ended up here, which greatly frightens them.

Later, after realizing his location, he notices Straw Hat Luffy flying through the air and heading towards him, which surprises him. However, with little time to reach him, Straw Hat Luffy suddenly disappears and appears alongside Doflamingo, attacking him with "Gomu Gomu no Rhino Schneider" to the jaw, sending him flying towards the Ancient Royal Plateau.

But despite such a blow, Doflamingo gets up and flies into the air, realizing that by increasing his elasticity, he was able to increase his strength several times, but despite this, he still remains a "pathetic piece of rubber." Above the ground of the Straw Hats, Luffy attempts to attack him with "Gomu Gomu no Culverin," but Doflamingo manages to dodge the blow and then attacks him with "Athlete."

However, despite the attack hitting its target, it failed to inflict any damage, as the Straw Hat Pirates' body remained rubbery despite their Armament Haki. Then, standing up, Luffy threw Doflamingo away from him, after which, bending his own arm, he attacked him again with "Gomu Gomu no Culverin," after which he struck him with a violent blow to the jaw, causing Doflamingo to misunderstand, from which the Straw Hat Pirates' hand did not flinch.

After being able to withstand the full force of the Straw Hat Pirates' punch, Doflamingo realized that he could now freely control the amount of compression and expansion of his body with Haki, suggesting that it was now a sort of "fusion" between Armament Haki and Rubber. However, unwilling to know the details of this, Doflamingo got back on his feet, noting that Luffy had excellent control over his power; however, he still asked him how long he could use it, being sure that it would be associated with some risks.

Unwilling to answer his question, Luffy attacked him with "Gomu Gomu no Double Culverin," but before his attacks could reach his body, Doflamingo defended himself with "Offwhite," shocking the Straw Hats. Noticing his surprise, Doflamingo explained that in addition to this "childish" level of power, there is a higher dimension of power called "Awakening," which allows Devil Fruit users to influence not only themselves, but also the world around them, after which they transform the buildings around them into threads and send them to the Straw Hats.

Noticing that he was dodging them, Doflamingo decides to end their fight, after which, declaring it was time to die, he casts "Billow White". However, Luffy, managing to dodge, squeezes his head inwards, after which he pierces Doflamingo's "Offwhite" and attacks him with his finishing attack "Gomu Gomu no Leo Bazooka", causing massive damage to his body and allowing him to be imprinted on the 2nd level of the New Royal Plateau.

At the time, after being thrown against the mountain, Doflamingo showed no signs of life or resistance, but remained conscious. However, unaware of this, the townspeople, as well as Straw Hat Luffy, mistakenly thought he had been defeated, until they saw "Torikago" remaining where he was. Noticing this, Luffy decided to strike Doflamingo again, but after failing to get close enough to him, Luffy's Gear's fourth time expired, after which he bounced off the New Plateau and fell, unable to move.

And at the same time as everyone in the country was perplexed by what had happened, Doflamingo emerged from the New Royal Plateau, destroying most of the 2nd level in the process, plunging everyone in the country into panic. Then, standing in the air and observing what was happening below, he realized that the Straw Hats were no longer able to continue the battle, after which he pressed something into his body and began to slowly descend.

Upon descending to the ground, Doflamingo's path is blocked by numerous gladiators from the Corrida Colosseum, who attack him simultaneously. Unwilling to waste his time and energy on them, Doflamingo makes short work of them with his "awakened" abilities, piercing their bodies with wires. Looking at them, Doflamingo declares that he will not spend time with "scum" like them, then orders the Straw Hats into battle to make them regret ever being born.

Seeing their actions, Doflamingo remarked how stupid they were, after which he stated that he was still in "polite" form demanding the Straw Hat be handed over to him, after which he took care of it in an instant.

Later, when Rebecca attacks Violetta, Straw Hat Luffy unexpectedly appears in her place and, using Armament Haki, breaks Rebecca's sword, causing Doflamingo to be surprised and delighted. Then, while watching him, Doflamingo remarked how noisy the Straw Hat's return was, saying that he already seemed able to recover some of his Haki, but it seems that all he can do now is stand, after which, using his "awakened" ability, he pierces Luffy's body.

However, Doflamingo directs his discussions toward Rebecca, wanting to kill her. But when the threads reach her, she suddenly disappears. Realizing that it is Law's work, Doflamingo orders him to keep a close eye on her. After using "Ever White," he transforms the entire city into threads and catches Luffy, preventing him from escaping. He then creates "A Thousand Arrows" and attacks him with "Flap Thread."

Seeing this, Luffy tried to defend himself using Armament Haki, however, the threads pierced his body, pushing Luffy against a stone wall. Then, inflicting massive piercing damage, Doflamingo used "Parasite" to force Luffy to walk towards him. Observing him, Doflamingo remarked that Luffy was a "stubborn bastard" after all, then stated that if all those "stubborn people" had remained his obedient "puppets" in that "cage," then all this bloodshed could have been avoided.

Then, angered by his words, Luffy uses "Gear Fourth", breaking Doflamingo's control, much to his surprise. Then, noticing that the Straw Hat Pirates want to continue fighting him while he is in the air, Doflamingo rushes into the sky, noting that he has no courage and declaring that now he will show him how to kill with a single blow.

However, after gaining enough height, Luffy states that due to Doflamingo trying to control everything and everyone on this island with his sons, he is already starting to choke, noting that he is fed up with his actions. After listening to him, Doflamingo states that he can only blame his heritage because by birth, they are all beneath him, and compared to him, they are simply nothing.

But not wanting to listen to him, Luffy declares that he will beat him and get out of it. Laughing at his words, Doflamingo orders him to try it, after which, preparing for his attack, he creates "Kumo no Sugaki", after which he creates "16 Sacred Bullets of Assassins" and attacks him with "God Thread".

However, Luffy decides to use his ultimate attack and attacks him with "Gomu Gomu no King Kong Gun", hitting "Kumo no Sugaki" and hitting Doflamingo's face, breaking his sunglasses. Then, taking the full force of the blow upon himself, Doflamingo falls from the sky to earth, breaking through the stone floor and falling deep into the underground port, where he, having lost consciousness and control of "Tori Kago", frees Dressrosa from his presence.
