Kaido: This Mother and Son Redefined What a 'Monster' Was!
The moment the Hakai appeared, it instantly swallowed up Ortolan's figure.
Ortolan immediately wanted to activate his elemental transformation to dodge this ferocious attack, but when the Hakai rushed towards him, he felt the two Conqueror's Haki were overflowing everywhere in the surging shockwave!
It's understandable that Genji couldn't use elemental transformation to counter this move. After all, this was a combined attack by Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. A combined attack by two top-tier powerhouses would naturally be perfect, so how could it leave a flaw like 'elemental transformation'?
If they manage to unleash this ultimate skill with great effort, and the opponent is just a free spirit who can easily dodge it without taking damage by simply transforming into an element, that would be incredibly pathetic!
When he realized that he couldn't dodge the attack by transforming into his elemental form, Ortolan had already entered that black-gold state.
If you can't hide, then don't hide!
This Hakai arrived quickly and moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the ground directly in front of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's location was flattened by at least two meters by this terrifying power. What was once a desolate and chaotic island surface was now smooth and flat, like a mirror.
Beyond the island, the sea surface was scraped clean of a layer of 'oil' by this powerful and surging impact. The strong shockwave, carrying this layer of 'oil', swept across the sea, giving it no chance to resist. In the blink of an eye, it had already broken through the horizon.
Perhaps after this force dissipates beyond its end, the remaining aftershocks will gradually converge into a massive tsunami?
Hundreds of meters away, on the smooth and clean ground, Ortolan's figure was like a nail, firmly planted on the ground.
At this moment, the Justice Cloak on Ortolan's shoulders was tattered and torn, revealing holes of various sizes as it fluttered in the wind.
The black vest he was wearing on his upper body was now like a rag, stuck to his chest, making it impossible to see the shape of his breasts.
The brown work pants, which were originally long pants tucked into the boots, have now been shortened to mid-length pants, extending directly from the knees. But you have to admit, this battle-worn style, combined with Ortolan's strong and muscular physique, actually has a certain charm.
"Ouch..." Ortolan moved his arms stiffly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
On the surface, Ortolan's condition did not appear to have changed much, and there were no obvious external injuries. However, in reality, Ortolan felt that all of his internal organs were groaning in pain.
The incredibly powerful shockwave from Hakai completely 'soaked' him. His Black Gold technique had only reached the muscle tissue level, not the internal organs. So, while his appearance was unharmed, his internal organs were severely injured.
"Cough..." Ortolan coughed up a mouthful of phlegm with a pained expression, then spat it out.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that what he vomited was a filthy mass of blood.
Across from him, Kaido said with a surprised expression, "I didn't expect that this attack wouldn't even be able to knock him down?"
"Hakai" was a combined attack technique that he and Charlotte Linlin were very proud of. They once believed that no one on this sea could withstand this attack head-on.
But now, Ortolan has done it!
Charlotte Linlin watched Ortolan's figure, the excitement in her eyes growing even stronger.
"Looks like my sacrifice wasn't enough!" Charlotte Linlin grinned maliciously, taking a step forward and shouting, "Soul Sacrifice - Gluttony Power!!!"
Charlotte Linlin's normal height is 8.8 meters, which is already excessive. Before joining forces with Kaido to start the Hakai, she sacrificed a wave of soul power to enhance her physical attributes, and her height directly broke through to about 13 meters, which feels like a third larger than Kaido.
In this situation, Kaido, who is only seven meters tall, looks like a little kid standing next to Charlotte Linlin, only reaching her waistline... This also shows that Charlotte Linlin's legs are really long even though her figure is not the same at this moment!
Now, Charlotte Linlin, who is nearly thirteen meters tall, has once again absorbed a huge amount of soul power. As a result, her huge body has grown taller again, and in the blink of an eye, she has reached a height of sixteen or seventeen meters.
This is already comparable to the height of most Giant race. Generally speaking, the height of a giant as Giant race adult is no less than twelve meters. This is the lower limit of their race. According to relevant records, even the Giant race with 'dwarfism' can grow to at least twelve meters tall.
Among the Giant race, those suffering from gigantism are even more terrifying. Some scholars believe that the branch of the Giant race known as the "Demon Man," namely Oars's group, are several times larger than regular giants because, on the one hand, they are an Ancient Giant Tribe, and on the other hand, they should suffer from the Giant race's "gigantism."
As for that giant warship, the San Juan Wolf, it is obviously an exceptional case and not a reliable reference.
Generally speaking, the more powerful Giant race, the taller and more robust they are. Powerful Giant race like Doruy and Brogy are usually over twenty meters tall.
Charlotte Linlin wasn't as large as she was at the moment, but she was still comparable to a typical Giant race.
Kaido's legs aren't even as long as hers. As for Ortolan, you can't tell from a distance when he's over three meters tall, but if you compare them up close, he's not even as tall as Charlotte Linlin's knee.
It's roughly like jumping up and hitting her knee.
"Hey, hey..." Ortolan swallowed hard as he watched this scene.
As far as he could remember, Charlotte Linlin had a move that could devour soul power to strengthen her physical body; she had used this move during the great war Wano Country.
But as far as I remember, Charlotte Linlin's move back then wasn't enhanced to an excessively outrageous degree.
Even before they've clashed, Ortolan can already sense the terrifying aura emanating from Charlotte Linlin in the distance... In his normal form, he has absolutely no chance of winning!
"With this book, you should have wiped out Whitebeard long ago..." Ortolan thought to himself.
In fact, this enhancement is the power that Charlotte Linlin developed to deal with her own filial son after she felt the pressure from Ortolan!
While she was still in shock, Ortolan could also sense that Charlotte Linlin had reached her limit, and that she absolutely could not maintain this state for long.
From this moment on, although Charlotte Linlin's appearance had declined somewhat, her figure was still quite good. However, now that she has entered this state, her body shape has also undergone a great distortion.
She's no longer the curvaceous and slender woman she once was; instead, her muscles have become too muscular, making her appear somewhat bulky. It's reminiscent of the image of her as a stout woman in her later years!
This change means that she has reached the limit of her control over her body. If she goes any further, she will lose control. At that point, it will not be her controlling the power, but the power controlling her!
"If you don't show me your true skills, brat, I'll take care of you in a minute!" Charlotte Linlin said with a sinister grin.
The moment she finished speaking, she exerted force with her feet, and her enormous, giant-like body actually created sonic booms during this acceleration, and wherever she passed, she stirred up surging air currents that dissipated as shockwaves.
Kaido, who was originally standing next to Charlotte Linlin, was almost knocked over by the overflowing impact force without warning.
In that instant, Kaido understood that Charlotte Linlin and Bane Ortolan, this mother and son, had redefined what it meant to be a 'monster'!
Previously, he and Whitebeard were called monsters, but at this moment, he could no longer keep up with their level and pace!
Kaido is undoubtedly a proud man, but at this moment, he actually felt powerless!
That is a boundary that is innate. Even if he is different from ordinary people from childhood and is called a monster, he cannot reach that boundary at this moment!
At this moment, he finally understood why Newgate was completely powerless against Ortolan in his prime on Archino Island!
"Has the power reached its end, and I've reached the other side?" Kaido murmured bitterly in his heart.
No sooner said than done, Kaido was lost in thought, but reality was only a fleeting moment away.
In that instant, Charlotte Linlin had already arrived in front of Ortolan. Her fist, which was almost half the size of Ortolan's body, slammed into Ortolan's location like a meteorite.
It is precisely because he possesses this power that Ortolan fears it!
Without any intention of taking the hit head-on, at that critical moment, two arcs of electricity flashed across Ortolan's feet and hair, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In that instant, Charlotte Linlin punched the ground, and the island seemed to bounce on the sea surface. The surrounding sea could not withstand the force and stirred up huge waves that spread in all directions!
On the warship, Momonga held Den Den Mushi, watching the warship beneath him being lifted higher by the giant waves. His expression remained calm as he spoke to the Den Den Mushi: "Ortolan, what you were waiting for, we've got it!"
The moment he finished speaking, the island was shaken, and a bolt of lightning more than ten meters thick transformed into a dazzling pillar of light that shot into the sky!
