Island-Destroying Battle (Part 1) / Arthur Loses His Composure for the First Time
However, she still seemed to struggle somewhat against Charlotte Linlin's superhuman strength.
This is the difference in physical constitution!!
'Sizzle sizzle...'
As if bracing against a mountain, a flash of blue-white lightning streaked across Arthur's emerald green eyes, and his body was suddenly crackling with arcs of electricity.
With the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit amplified, Arthur felt the immense force ease slightly, allowing him to barely hold his own against Charlotte Linlin.
"Mom, let me help you!"
"And me..."
Just as Arthur and Charlotte Linlin were wrestling, a small, fiery Sun and lightning-streaked thunderclouds suddenly flew down from the ceiling of the dimly lit room.
It was Charlotte Linlin's highest-ranking Homies, 'Sun' Prometheus and 'Thundercloud' Zeus.
'Call--'
'Zzzzz... Whoosh!'
Almost the instant the words were spoken, orange-red flames and blue-white lightning erupted from the mouths of Prometheus and Zeus, striking Arthur.
However, these attacks of fire and lightning had no effect on Arthur.
Even before Prometheus and Zeus acted, a blue and white energy shield had already appeared around Arthur.
Moreover, Arthur only used this energy shield to defend against Prometheus's attacks.
As for Zeus the Thundercloud, one can only say that he is extremely pitiful.
When encountering Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, its attacks not only have no effect, but will actually be of great help to Arthur.
'Sizzle sizzle...'
"Hiss..."
The ground was shaking, causing the entire building to tremble violently.
Arthur and Charlotte Linlin continued to enhance their aura, and the dark red Inazuma around them appeared more and more frequently, and even their numbers increased.
Meanwhile, after Arthur defended against Prometheus's fire attack.
Behind him, "Don Starion" also had wisps of electricity crackling in his mane, and his bright, intelligent eyes were fixed on the angry face of Prometheus.
'Crackling sound--BOOM!'
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from "Dong Starion," and a thick bolt of lightning, like a bullet aimed at a target, struck Prometheus.
(bhee) "Damn it, you cunning horse, how dare you ambush me?" Prometheus narrowly dodged the lightning attack, his face enraged by the raging flames as he glared at "East Starion" and roared.
"Tch..."
Upon hearing this, "Don Starion" grinned, making a very human expression of contempt, and looked at Prometheus with disdain, as if to say, "Weren't you just launching a sneak attack too?"
"Damn it, I'm going to roast you alive!!" Prometheus was furious at the expression on "East Starion's" face, and immediately puffed out his cheeks and spewed a huge pillar of fire at "East Starion".
"Hiss..."
"Dong Starion" also unleashed a thick beam of lightning, its orange-red and blue-white light forming a dazzling firework that exploded above Arthur and Charlotte Linlin's heads.
"Mother, I'm sorry... I can't help you anymore!!" Zeus, the Zeus, looked at the fighting "East Starion" and Prometheus and said with a mournful face. His extreme sadness even made his body fade and turn into a white cloud, revealing an expression of wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Mama~ Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so you're the mysterious murderer who killed the Celestial Dragons?!" Zeus's aggrieved voice finally interrupted this contest of strength, swordsmanship, and Haki aura. Although Charlotte Linlin was still gripping Napoleon with both hands, pressing down hard on the Excalibur, she was already distracted by speaking.
After calming down a bit, Charlotte Linlin finally realized the key point and laughed, saying, "Well done! I'm really starting to admire you more and more. So, how about we get married?"
"I refuse!" Arthur repeated, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if trying to picture Charlotte Linlin's future.
'Swish--'
In the next instant, before Charlotte Linlin could react with her usual unpredictable rage upon hearing Arthur's words, Arthur abruptly stopped the fight. He leaped back several meters, gripping Excalibur in both hands, his body crackling with electricity, and unleashed a golden slash infused with lightning towards Charlotte Linlin.
'Boom!!'
The massive golden slash, accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, carved a deep trench in the ground, attempting to engulf Charlotte Linlin at close range.
"Hahaha... The world's number one slash? I'm getting more and more interested in collecting you." Looking at the golden slash in front of her, Charlotte Linlin suddenly released Napoleon from her hands, cupped her cheeks like a lovesick girl, and made a disgusting gesture.
Napoleon, on the other hand, took the initiative to meet the attack head-on!
Chapter 230 The Battle to Destroy the Island (Part 1)
'Boom--!'
Napoleon, wielding Bicorn and longsword, automatically unleashed a massive sword pressure in an attempt to counteract the oncoming golden sword pressure.
However, it was ultimately a strike from the World's Greatest Swordsman, and it was also infused with the lightning power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Not to mention the increased speed and power, at such close range, the power is naturally like a raging tsunami – impossible to resist.
'Snap--'
A crisp sound rang out as Napoleon's sword strike was directly shattered by the oncoming golden sword pressure, its remaining force striking Charlotte Linlin.
The immense golden sword pressure blasted Charlotte Linlin, who was as large as a small mountain, away.
Upon seeing this, Arthur's lips twitched slightly.
The future seen through Observation Haki (A++) was indeed completely accurate.
The pressure from her own sword strike landed on Charlotte Linlin with remarkable ease.
The reason for the hit was, ridiculously, shyness that distracted him.
This result only deepened Arthur's impression of just how terrifying 'BIG-MOM' Charlotte Linlin was.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Charlotte Linlin, who had been blasted a distance away, rolled on the ground, screaming like an injured child.
One moment she's the ruthless and cruel Four Emperors 'BIG-MOM', and the next she's a simple, crybaby.
A moody personality, a love for novel toys...
This is a 'Monster' as difficult to communicate with as Kaido!
Arthur couldn't help but think of the information about Charlotte Linlin from the original story.
At the age of 5, due to his excessively large size and the destruction he caused to his hometown, he was exiled to Elbaf, where the Giants lived. He was later rescued and taken in by a nun there, who was actually a human trafficker named Carmel. Because of his innate destructive nature, he destroyed the giant village and killed Giants hero during a Hunger Pangs. Finally, on his 6th birthday, he ate so much that he forgot himself and woke up to find that Mother Carmel and his other friends had disappeared. He also gained the Paramecia Soul-Soul Fruit power.
In order to create a country that would make Mother Carmel happy, he formed the 'BIG-MOM' crew with Streusen, and was immediately put up with a bounty of 50 million Beli.
62 years later, she became one of the Four Emperors —'BIG-MOM' Charlotte Linlin.
She lived through countless dynasties and became one of the emperors of that era.
However, even at 68, Charlotte Linlin's personality still shows traces of her childhood.
More importantly, she obtained the power of Devil Fruit through unconventional means.
Especially considering the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Arthur couldn't help but have doubts.
Does Charlotte Linlin possess two souls, or two personalities, or even two unique souls fused together?
Is she Charlotte Linlin, or Mother Carmel?
Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the sea.
"How dare you injure me... I'll kill you!" After rolling a few times on the ground, Charlotte Linlin suddenly jumped up. Apart from a charred sword mark on her right shoulder, she was not in any disheveled state, and there wasn't even a drop of blood.
"Prometheus, Zeus..."
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
As the voice faded, Prometheus, who had been glaring at "East Sun," and Zeus, who could only watch from the sidelines, flew to Charlotte Linlin's left and right sides.
Even Napoleon, who was floating in the air in his 'Bicorn', returned to his hat and landed back on Charlotte Linlin's head.
"Flame Jet!"
With her hands each gripping Prometheus and Zeus, Charlotte Linlin exuded a soul-shaking aura, making the spacious room feel incredibly cold.
But soon, a surge of hot air dispelled the chill.
Charlotte Linlin reached out and grabbed Prometheus's right hand, and then, rings of fire shot out.
· ······Requesting flowers···· ·······
The fire attack unleashed by Charlotte Linlin was several times more intense than the flames that Prometheus spewed during his battle with "East Starion".
It was also enveloped in powerful Armament Haki!
"150 Million Volts - Divine Judgment!"
Arthur raised his hand and unleashed a massive blue-white beam of light that collided with the incoming pillar of fire.
"Mama~ That wretched guy, Zeus..." Charlotte Linlin jumped up and down angrily, her bloodshot eyes looking at Zeus, the 'thundercloud' in her left hand.
"Mom, he's Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, my ability is useless against him," Zeus quickly said.
0
"Really? So, close combat is the only way?" Charlotte Linlin calmed down a bit, released Prometheus and Zeus from her hands again, removed the 'Bicorn' Napoleon from her head, and conjured a sharp longsword.
'Boom--Whoosh!!'
With a stomp of both feet, the entire ground collapsed.
Charlotte Linlin charged angrily toward Arthur at incredible speed.
A gust of wind, even before it got close, swept over Arthur, making his blond hair fly and causing him to frown slightly.
If it weren't for Charlotte Linlin's A++ Observation Haki Future Sight, it would be hard to believe that Charlotte Linlin, with her bulky figure, could possess such terrifying speed.
However, this speed is still slightly inferior to Kaido's ability to create a tsunami simply by swimming freestyle.
Not to mention Arthur's agility (A++) enhanced by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
'Call out--'
Just as Charlotte Linlin rushed in front of her, raising the Napoleon in her hand, and smashing it down like a giant mountain.
Arthur suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.
"Inazuma Kick-- "
Teleporting to Charlotte Linlin 'Linlin head from behind, Arthur raised his shimmering blue and white boots and suddenly kicked her on the head.
Chapter 231 Arthur's First Loss of Composure
(I can't finish the last chapter! I'll write it tonight, bye!)
'Boom--!'
A kick with power and speed no less than Light-Speed Kick landed on Charlotte Linlin's head.
Arthur immediately felt a strong resistance, but he still managed to kick Charlotte Linlin away.
"Ouch... it hurts so much, you damn bastard!!"
The mountain-shaped afterimage crashed into a wall, smashing a huge hole in the spacious room and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Amidst the thick dust and fog, Charlotte Linlin's cries rang out.
Having run out of words, it seems she only had this one sentence to say.
But the sobbing grew more and more intense each time, and even from hundreds of meters away, Arthur could feel the increasingly suffocating pressure emanating from "737".
"..."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Arthur's mind, and his Observation Haki (A++) Future Sight prediction warning.
His expression changed slightly!
"Elbaph Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"
