A Dead End: Charlotte Linlin

"Hour!!"

Whitebeard went berserk instantly, charging wildly towards Toki's direction.

Teacher Kai didn't even try to stop them.

Because I simply can't live with laughter anymore.

"Hehehehe! What is this idiot woman up to? Is there another clown in the world as brilliant as her?"

Teacher Kai was laughing so hard at Toki's joke that he was doubled over with laughter.

As expected of Kozuki Oden's wife, the two of them were truly a match made in heaven!

If Whitebeard were to seize this opportunity to attack him, he might actually be able to deliver a devastating blow.

Unfortunately, Whitebeard was too preoccupied with Teacher Kai at that moment. He rushed to Toki's side, but it was too late.

The sharp blade had already severed the woman's carotid artery, and blood gushed out like a fountain, leaving a large, radiating pool of blood on the ground, which looked rather gruesome.

The Whitebeard, his face filled with grief, looked down at the woman lying on the ground. "Shi, why?"

"Everyone died because of me... I can't bear the weight of so many family members' lives..."

A look of relief appeared on Toki's face. "All I can do is atone for my sins."

"... Let's stop here, Brother Newgate... please... please..."

Is this really the world where everyone's a blood-guzzling machine? They've already gushed so much blood, and they can still talk like this.

Ian thought to himself.

But it's really disgusting.

So many people have died, and if all our efforts ultimately fail, wouldn't their deaths be even more meaningless?

What did this woman take the determination of those who fought to the death for?

but.

Good death.

Her death can probably bring this battle to a close.

Um?

Why does this feel like something I've seen before?

Ochoku suddenly appeared and asked him to give him face and stop the war.

Then Toki also stood up and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Stop fighting!"

But now is not the time to think about such things.

"Uncle Jin, be careful."

Ian said.

Jin nodded slightly; he had realized it too.

"Kaido!!!"

The enraged Whitebeard suddenly turned around, his surging aura causing his crescent-shaped beard to stand on end, and his long golden hair to fly wildly in the air.

Whitebeard's skin was turning red all over, and the light waves from his naginata, belonging to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, were more brilliant than ever before.

With a backhand slash, the world seemed to shatter. The air within a hundred meters was instantly cracked, and the magnificent Shockwave, like a tsunami, crashed down on Kaido and Ian, who was behind Kaido.

It works!

Teacher Kai, willpower really works!

Whitebeard has unleashed his full power!

"Ooh lol lol lol!!"

Teacher Kai didn't hesitate at all. In fact, before Whitebeard unleashed his ultimate attack, Teacher Kai had already transformed into a giant blue dragon. At the same time, flames surged from his mouth, forming a fiery shell that enveloped his body.

"The Fire Dragon Great Torch!!"

The enormous, fiery head wreathed in Two-Color Haki collided with Whitebeard's terrifying Shockwave.

Boom!!

A violent wind rushed towards him, and Ian heard a thunderous explosion.

Centered on the point of impact between the two, the ground below began to shatter and collapse, turning into a bottomless abyss in the blink of an eye.

Ian was almost blown away.

This is their true all-out effort; it's truly astounding!

The aftershocks of their collision finally subsided, but almost all the towering rocky mountains that covered the island had crumbled.

"Hehehehe! Come on, Whitebeard!!"

In the sky, a fiery dragon circled, its astonishing heat relentlessly scorching the earth. Its head was smashed open, but it was rapidly repairing itself. Teacher Kai shouted excitedly, "Continue!!"

That's enough.

However, after the attack ended, Whitebeard scooped up Toki from the ground and looked up, saying this.

"What?"

Kaido sneered, "You think it's over just because you say so? Who do you think I am!"

We have no choice but to fight!

"It seems they don't want us to leave so easily."

Ochoku also spoke up at this moment.

I've already joined the war, and now you're saying you don't want to fight anymore?

and.

He glanced at Ian.

That brat is too dangerous.

Um?

Ian noticed Ochoku's gaze.

There's something off about Old Deng's eyes.

"This was Shi's last wish,"

The Whitebeard said, "No matter what, I must at least let her leave in peace."

"I think so too,"

At this moment, Ian also spoke up, "Let's stop here, Teacher Kai."

"You brat!"

Teacher Kai suddenly lowered his head and glared fiercely at his apprentice.

"Teacher Kai, the Wang Zhi Pirates are about to land."

Ian said, "If we continue fighting, we probably won't come out on top either."

Teacher Kai turned his head, and on the sea, the Wang Zhi Pirates ' fleet was indeed very close.

He looked down again.

Both the imp and Jhin were breathing rapidly, indicating they were expending a considerable amount of energy.

Can they defeat Ochoku Zhi?

"How boring!"

The flames dissipated.

The enormous azure dragon landed and returned to Teacher Kai's appearance.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

If they were to continue fighting against the combination of Whitebeard and Ochoku, the outcome would be truly unpredictable.

Later.

Ian flapped his wings and flew through the sky, gazing at the Whitebeard Pirates and Wang Zhi Pirates gradually disappearing into the distance on the sea. This magnificent war had come to an end.

Does it count as a win, or a loss?

The Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses; several of their commanders died, and even Jozu was burned to ashes by his own actions.

However, it's far from being a serious injury.

"Ian!"

Below, Yamato is waving at Ian.

Ian leaped down, asking, "Having fun?"

"Hmm! Listen to me! Hahaha, a woman who uses ice attacked me, but her ice had absolutely no effect on me! Her expression was hilarious! I smashed her to pieces with Kenjiro Two!"

There's no need to go into such detail about this.

In the fleet far from the island.

The atmosphere on the Moby Dick was extremely tense for the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Jozu, Thatch, Whitey Bay, Namur ..."

Vista slumped onto the deck, leaning against the ship's railing. The renowned swordsman of the New World silently wept. "So many people have died, and this is how it ends?"

"Continuing the fight will only lead to more deaths."

The chubby captain of the Sixth Division, Brahamank, was equally grief-stricken, saying, "Whether we win or not, our deceased family members will never return."

"That's the same meaning."

Whitebeard then spoke in a low voice, "She paid the price with her own life to stop more people from dying."

More important than revenge is ensuring the survival of more family members.

The pirates on deck were all in tears. "Lady Toki, she was so foolish. It's all our fault. We were completely blinded by rage!"

Ochoku sat on the gunwale, observing coldly.

The Whitebeard Pirates are a big family, and all members love each other.

If they really are a family, then this is so heartwarming.

But Newgate, if he wants a family, why become a pirate?

"Newgate, see you next time."

Without hesitation, Ochoku launched himself into the air and left.

A man with a mixed- Whitebeard is completely unreliable.

That brat--

This is difficult to handle.

Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates were still immersed in grief.

"How are we going to explain this to Hiyori and her sister when we get back?"

"It's a low voice, "Vista said.

Whitebeard fell silent.

A corner of the deck.

Teach tried her best to look sad.

Then he heard it.

"Teach, you did really well today. I saw it. Queen has been chasing you for ages, but he hasn't been able to catch you."

Teach's heart skipped a beat.

"Is that so, Teach?"

Whitebeard looked over.

Teach cursed inwardly, but managed to squeeze out a few tears. "But I still couldn't protect Captain Thatch and the others."

"That's not your fault. Without Marco, nobody can do anything about that bastard Queen's virus."

Whitebeard shook his head.

He looked at Teach.

Has this child, who came to his ship at the age of twelve, already become capable of standing on his own?

It's my fault; I didn't even try to understand this child properly.

"Teach, from now on, you will take over Thatch's position."

"I, I--"

Teach stammered, preparing to refuse.

But how can I refuse in this atmosphere?

"I understand, Pops."

Teach could only nod sadly in the end.

This is troublesome.

I don't want my name to get out.

On the Beasts Pirates...

Ian sat on a rock by the shore, taking a vicious bite of a piece of roasted meat.

He was exhausted today. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he was almost completely drained of his energy.

Yamato sat beside him, chattering away as she shared the interesting things that happened during the day's battle.

It probably includes how she used Kenjiro Two to smash enemies into pieces one by one.

Killing Yamato!

Although it wasn't a top-tier (T0) unit, it still performed admirably in this war.

"Mwahahaha! A resounding victory! Boss Kaido!"

Queen was laughing heartily nearby.

The casualty statistics are out: nearly 2,000 of the more than 5,000 pirates died in the battle, and more than a dozen of the top lieutenants died. Overall, the casualties are not too great.

Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, it was indeed a resounding victory.

"Snort!"

Teacher Kai, sitting cross-legged on the beach drinking in silence, just snorted coldly. He was indeed very unhappy that he hadn't been able to settle his score with Whitebeard.

"Teacher Kai, have you gone back yet?"

Ian finished the meat, licked his fingers, felt his strength returning, and looked up to ask.

Teacher Kai didn't reply; he just tilted his head back.

A hot air balloon is rapidly descending in the sky.

Ian raised an eyebrow. This guy's still here?

"Hahaha! Kaido! What a magnificent victory!"

The birdman popped his head out of the hot air balloon, grinning and greeting everyone, "I witnessed the whole thing!"

Morgans?

Teacher Kai let out a snort.

They're old acquaintances.

What are you doing here?

"Of course I wanted to do an exclusive interview with you, but before that, hehe, Linlin is here!"

"Linlin?"

Ian's lips twitched.

Are you coming again?

Thank you so much to "Bai Lan Tian Long" for the 10,000 points! I'm truly flattered.

I owe you one more chapter, it should be available next week. I'll pay you back after it's released, mainly because I've been updating too much lately...
