A Gap Even Among Emperor Crews

To be honest, it was entirely predictable that I would have to fight Aunt Linlin.

After all, Aunt Linlin has never been one to reason.

Or perhaps it should be said that there are very few reasonable people among pirates.

Aunt Linlin, who stands at the top of the Pirate World, has the right to be unreasonable.

It's just a pity she chose the wrong, unreasonable person.

Since you're Teacher Kai's good friend, and we'll probably work together again in the future, I'll let you off the hook this time, Aunt Linlin.

Ian remained calm, his hands still clasped together, thinking, "But I still need to teach you a lesson first."

"Take it easy a little longer."

Ian said, "Aunt Linlin is at least a friend of Teacher Kai; don't kill her beloved children."

"Kid,"

Aunt Linlin smirked, "You seem pretty arrogant, don't you?"

Ian just smiled. "You'll find out soon enough, Aunt Linlin."

"Understood!"

Yamato transformed into a white wolf, cheering as it sprang into the air like a phantom.

The next second, the white wolf leaped into the air, shouting, "Mouth-Tearing Ice Fang!!"

White mist surged forth, transforming into a raging torrent that swept directly towards the Charlotte Family.

"Isn't that a bit too disrespectful, Ian?"

Katakuri raised his trident.

The ground surged instantly, transforming into white rice cake walls that rose up, blocking the onrushing white mist.

The rice cake wall froze into solid ice in an instant, freezing everything in its path and preventing the fog from spreading to both sides.

The sudden drop in temperature sent a chill down the spines of the Charlotte Family executives.

"Is that girl Aokiji?"

Perespero couldn't help but rub his hands together. "What's with this freezing air?!"

The next second, the frozen wall shattered.

"Bingjie Bagua!"

The crystalline spiked club, trailing a long white mist, shot towards us like a white Inazuma!

Katakuri's eyes flashed red.

The ground transformed into countless rice cakes, which shot towards the oncoming Yamato.

However, these rice cakes didn't even have a chance to get close to Yamato before they were completely frozen!

It turned into raised ice sculptures!

"The power of ice?"

Katakuri's right arm wrapped around the trident's handle, his right arm spiraling into a spiral shape, causing the trident to suddenly spin.

"Mochi Thrust!"

The trident, like a power drill, roared out!

Boom!!

The clash between the spiked club and the trident unleashed a barrage of black and white Inazuma.

These leaping Inazuma are the signal fires that herald the start of war!

Hehehehe!

Dorry burst into laughter, "Giants! Go and claim victory!"

"Charge with me!"

The gold on Solemn's body also began to surge, and behind him, the Beast Giant roared.

The earth trembled as the giants began their charge.

Even faster than them were Ian's friends.

Jack, Black Maria, and Drake had transformed into enormous monsters and charged straight at the enemy.

Luo stood on Drake's back, his hands swirling with energy.

On the outskirts of the battlefield.

"Let's go!"

At Jinbe's command, the ten pirate captains roared and charged forward.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Sasaki, now transformed into a giant Triceratops, laughed wildly, "My first opponent is the Charlotte Family! How delightful!"

The disparity in troop strength is too great.

Katakuri's expression changed slightly, and his body began to move backward.

And.

He looked at Yamato, who was pursuing them.

That's truly astonishing power.

Having inherited Kaido's demon bloodline and possessing Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, how could he have such physical strength at only sixteen years old?

"Hahahaha! Take this!"

Yamato laughed wildly, completely ignoring Charlotte Linlin standing right next to her. With a light touch of her toes, she transformed into a blur, "Divine Foot— "

She was enveloped in white mist, which transformed into a writhing Orochi.

"White Snake Drive!"

Her speed was astonishing; at least Perespero was sweating profusely watching her. If he were facing this girl's attack, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge a single move and would be knocked away by her stick.

However, Yamato's opponent at this time was Katakuri.

Katakuri can glimpse the future.

The Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece had a red gleam in its eyes.

Just as the gleaming iron rod was about to strike him, his body exploded into a rice cake, revealing a large hole, perfectly avoiding Yamato's attack.

At the same time, his left arm transformed into a square shape, covered in Black Haki.

"Horn Mochi!!"

He threw a punch.

The old power of Yamato, who had just swung his bat, had dissipated Yamato had not yet generated new power; he was in a state of stiffness.

The timing is perfect!

"Whee!"

But the girl grinned.

Her body twisted in sync, contorting like a snake, perfectly dodging Katakuri's attack.

"Kami-e?"

Katakuri wasn't surprised; this was also the future he had glimpsed.

Even though he had changed his tactics to prepare for that future, Yamato still dodged with the same move.

More than just Kami-e!

Next comes the Return to Life!

Yamato used his willpower to forcefully reverse the iron bar he had already swung.

"Gundari - Wolf Army!!"

The pristine white iron rod transformed into a storm, instantly engulfing Katakuri.

The White Frost Energy wrapped around the iron rod spread out.

Katakuri knew that if he dared to turn into a mochi again at this moment, his body would be frozen solid by the mist.

So, he chose to throw a punch!

His arms transformed into the shape of long rice cakes, and then Hardening.

Katakuri's fists also transformed into a storm.

The intense clash between the two caused the Haki of black and white to leap everywhere.

At the same moment, Hancock gracefully walked up to Ian's side.

She glanced at Yamato, who was locked in fierce combat with Katakuri, and said disdainfully, "That guy is really useless."

"Leave it to me, Ian. I can end this battle in a flash."

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

Hancock took a few steps forward.

She swaggered up to the Charlotte Family and gently tossed her long, jet-black hair.

"You fools who dare to oppose Ian, submit to my charm!"

In an instant, the Charlotte Family executives fell silent.

Then.

"She's an absolute beauty!"

"So beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful person in the world?!"

"I want to be her dog!!"

The men's eyes sparkled with hearts, and the women's cheeks flushed just as bright.

The Love-Love Fruit doesn't just turn people to stone; it also enhances the user's charm.

When Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman, actively used this ability, few in the world could resist her charm.

"Foolish one, turn to stone!"

Hancock stretched out her hands and made a heart shape with her hands.

"What?"

Aunt Linlin was still somewhat confused.

But Katakuri's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it!!"

"Sweet Mist!"

The heart-shaped ripples spread out in an instant, passing through all the Charlotte Family executives in the next second.

Exquisite statues suddenly appeared here.

"Um?"

Hancock one who started all of this, was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Because far fewer people become statues than one might imagine.

Moreover, some of the guys who should have turned into statues were now sweating profusely and terrified, but they did not turn to stone.

What is that?

Perez-Pello looked pale as he glanced around; many of his younger siblings had become statues standing in the same spot.

Fine!

It's alright!

He lowered his head.

Rice cakes were wrapped around his right leg, the tops of which were covered with Haki, piercing his calf like sharp daggers.

There are many others like him, such as Oven and Oda...

And Cracker.

However, this guy was so afraid of the pain that he fainted.

"Are you using pain to distract yourself?"

Hancock sneered, "I'd like to see how many times you can relocate."

They actually made her lose face in front of Ian!

Originally, her goal was to wipe out all the Charlotte Family's executives, leaving only Charlotte Linlin for Ian to deal with!

"Wake up Cracker!"

Katakuri's expression was extremely solemn. If he hadn't foreseen the future and used his Awakening ability in time, everyone would probably be wiped out by now.

"We can't let this woman get away with this anymore, Mama!"

Katakuri roared.

"You brat!! That's enough already!!"

The massive blade crashed down from mid-air, "Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"

The massive sword blade was wreathed in a powerful Two-Color Haki.

With Charlotte Linlin's terrifying physical strength propelling it, this strike would be enough to easily cleave mountains and split islands in two!

But Hancock showed no fear whatsoever.

Even though she knew very well that she would have a hard time catching that blow.

Because.

A dark figure suddenly flashed in front of Hancock, its Flame Sword flashing upwards.

Boom!!

The atmosphere trembled, and the entire Hachinosu Island shook.

As usual, the clouds in the sky were instantly split in two by an invisible force, and then receded to both sides.

"Kid!!"

Aunt Linlin roared furiously.

"Your opponent is me, Aunt Linlin."

Ian smiled calmly.

King against king, general against general—this is a tradition that has existed throughout the history of the sea.

Aunt Linlin, you'd better not try to break the rules.

"Ian!!"

Hancock's body was twisted like a snake, her hands pressed against her face, her face flushed red. "I knew that no matter what danger we encountered, Ian, you would come to save me!"

"..."

Aunt Linlin's face turned extremely gloomy.

Of course, it wasn't because of Hancock's words.

"Go, Hancock, but try not to kill anyone."

Ian twisted his neck, and Golden Divine Fire began to burn on his body. His broad wings spread out, and Golden Heavenly God descended upon him.

Aunt Linlin's strength is a bit exaggerated. If she's at a disadvantage even in terms of physical strength, then there's no way she can fight.

So, let's go all out.

"Um!!"

Hancock nodded emphatically, stepped on the Orochi, and immediately bypassed Charlotte Linlin, heading towards the Charlotte Family executives behind her.

Ian has absolutely no chance of losing; all she has to do now is turn everyone else to stone.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Cracker suddenly woke up.

Before him stood Perespero, who was frantically slapping him.

Cracker's face contorted in pain; he was so afraid of pain that he was actually woken up by the agony.

"No time to explain, Cracker!"

Perespero grabbed Cracker from the ground and pointed it at Hancock, who was rapidly approaching on her Orochi. "You go deal with that woman!"

"Huh? Me?"

Cracker was still somewhat bewildered.

But he had no time to think; Hancock had already flown over.

"Perfume Femur!"

At the same time, his friends had already rushed into the war.

"Let me crush you!"

Jack, now transformed into a giant mammoth, glared menacingly and charged straight at the surviving Charlotte Family executives.

"Don't even think about acting recklessly, I'll be your opponent!!"

Charlotte Oda, the third son of the Charlotte Family, roared angrily.

He rubbed his hands together on his stomach, and like Aladdin's lamp, a plume of smoke emerged from his belly, forming a gigantic demon several meters tall.

The demon brandished his greatsword and slashed down at Jack without mercy.

Jack sneered, his forehead radiating Haki, and charged headfirst into the large sword.

His forehead was pitch black, but beyond that blackness, there was an invisible ripple!

Armament Haki at the level of external projection!

Boom!!

With a deafening roar, the demon was forced backward, its chest pierced directly by Jack's ivory, and its body exploded into a cloud of mist.

Only.

"Um?"

Jack was slightly taken aback.

The clouds and mist gathered again, forming the shape of a demon.

Is it an ability similar to Elementalization?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Looking at the astonished Jack, Oda couldn't help but burst into laughter, "My demon is immortal!"

"Yeah?"

Jack sneered, his body shrinking into his beastman form. "But it'll all be over once I kill you, right?"

Shave!!

He transformed into a runaway train engine, moving at an astonishing speed.

Don't even think about it!

Oda shouted loudly.

The demon he controlled swung its massive blade down again, but Jack simply leaped up.

"The Secret Technique of Fish-Man Karate - Water Shot!"

Jack clenched his fist.

Using the moisture condensed in his palm, he unleashed a powerful Shockwave, which was also mixed with Jack's Armament Haki Shockwave.

The demon's greatsword trembled in the air, unable to fall even an inch, frozen in mid-air!

Finally, the demon's body was shattered by the all-pervasive Shockwave and turned into thick smoke.

Oda's eyes widened as Jack landed on him.

"A fool who dares to wage war against Brother Ian! He only has one way out: death!"

"Oda!!"

Charlotte Oven, radiating intense heat, panicked as she looked at the attacked Oda.

But before he could do anything, a brilliant bolt of lightning struck him.

"..."

Oven's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively swung his right fist, "High Heat Fist!"

He threw a scorching punch.

But what greeted him was something even hotter.

"Idiot."

Enel smiled cruelly, "One hundred million volts— Divine Sanction!"

His right arm transformed into lightning and swung forward, instantly engulfing Oven in a massive pillar of thunder.

"Oven!!"

Perespero's expression changed drastically. "Logia! Rumble-Rumble Fruit??"

What's wrong with Ian?

Even a Devil Fruit User is considered one of the strongest among Logia- type Devil Fruit users is under his command?

"Hehehe! Do you even have time to look around?"

Heavy footsteps landed in front of him.

Peresper suddenly looked up.

Hehehehe! Golden Splash!

Solemn laughed loudly, and a large amount of gold transformed into countless tentacles, sweeping towards Perespero.

Perez's expression changed slightly.

"Candy Wave!!"

Perespero, the Candy-Candy Devil Fruit User, immediately released countless sugar syrups, which condensed into a golden tsunami that rushed towards the golden tentacles.

The two abilities collided, and for a moment they were locked in a stalemate.

But.

"Elba's Battering Ram!!"

The golden hammer crashed down.

The tide that crushed the candy fell towards Perospero in his horrified gaze.

"Web Restraint."

Black Maria, now in her beastman form, spewed spiderwebs from the mouth on her stomach, binding the long-necked woman in front of her.

Before the woman named Amande could even swing her blade to tear through the spiderweb, Maria's massive flaming hammer slammed down. "It's over."

Luo stood calmly in his ROOM space, "Shambles."

With casual swings of his blade, he sliced Homie soldiers who had entered the area, and even the lower-ranking members of the Charlotte Family, into pieces.

That's the good thing about being unknown.

Luo thought to himself that there were no particularly powerful officials to deal with him, and none of his many opponents used Haki.

At that moment, another group of people rushed over.

"The Secret Technique of Fish-Man Karate - Onigawara Seiken!"

With Jinbe, a group of the Charlotte Family executives flew into the air.

"Hahahaha! Charge with Jinbe! You lot, die!!"

The enormous Triceratops rampaged wildly.

"Diamond Destruction Fist!!"

The giant Masira leaped up and slammed its fist down like a meteorite.

The earth shattered, and a group of people flew into the sky.

Flock laughed maniacally.

There was also the Titan army led by Dorry and others.

The battle was one-sided from the very beginning.

Within moments, the Charlotte Family was in complete disarray.

"Damn it!!"

Aunt Linlin's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

She knew that with such a huge disparity in troop strength, her children might be at a disadvantage, but this disadvantage was far too great!

Ian smiled. "Aunt Linlin, you don't think that just because we're both called emperors, you can be on equal footing with me, do you?"

Even the Royal Team has its shortcomings.
