Today, the New World's victor was decided!
Just now, Ortolan thought that his Goro Goro no Mi, even under these circumstances of exceeding its limits, could still give him a certain advantage in speed, which was quite impressive.
But now, Charlotte Linlin immediately pulled out a 'Soul Strike', no matter how strong you are, I'll target your soul, which made Ortolan very uncomfortable.
Thinking about it this way, is the Soul-Soul Fruit the power that transcends the other side?
You old hag, not only are you consuming the strongest talent of version 24, but you're also consuming abilities that surpass version 24?
However, at this moment, Ortolan also noticed some subtle changes in Charlotte Linlin. After she regained her original form, they had only exchanged blows once, and now, sweat was already trickling down Charlotte Linlin's forehead.
At that time, with each breath she took, she could expel a large amount of steam!
"The old woman might not last long. At this rate, she'll reach her limit in fifteen minutes at most... In this respect, I have the advantage!" Ortolan thought to himself.
In his current Sulong state, Ortolan can last for twenty minutes, but if he grits his teeth a little more, he can withstand the pressure for half an hour. However, after the state ends, he will suffer a more severe backlash, and his body will be exhausted for a long time.
On this point, Ortolan was confident that Charlotte Linlin couldn't hold out as long as he could!
Therefore, if this delaying tactic is adopted, and Charlotte Linlin is forced to exit this state after a period of time, even if there are only five minutes left, Ortolan is confident that he can end the battle within five minutes!
Therefore, choosing this tactic can be said to have already secured the victory!
Ortolan's aura surged. "Old woman, how long can you last? Fifteen minutes? Twenty minutes? If I were to be a little more unscrupulous, you would already be considered a foregone conclusion!"
As soon as Ortolan finished speaking, a heavy look flashed in Charlotte Linlin's eyes.
That's true... Ortolan is right.
"I could have won this way, but... I refuse!!!" Ortolan braced himself, as if expanding his chest, and declared boldly, "That kind of victory is too cunning. As the price for relinquishing this advantage, in this final, fierce battle, please me with all your might!!!"
"Arrogant brat, you underestimate me far too much!" Charlotte Linlin roared angrily, stomped her foot, and the shocking soul energy spread out, her figure suddenly disappearing from the ground.
The next instant, she suddenly appeared in front of Ortolan and threw a punch at Ortolan.
It is known that Charlotte Linlin's power has a special effect on the soul, but Ortolan is still unwilling to avoid it!
"A real man fights like this, where every punch lands and you have to fight to the bitter end!!!" Ortolan roared.
He let the punch hit his abdomen, and his consciousness wavered for a moment again, but at this moment, his will and his power retaliated!
In his dazed state, Ortolan's fist, imbued with the violent force of thunder, retaliated by striking Charlotte Linlin hard in the stomach.
Both were knocked back a step by the other. Charlotte Linlin was the first to regain her composure and, seizing the moment when Ortolan was in a daze, punched Ortolan again. This punch further shattered his returning soul consciousness.
"It's over!!!" Charlotte Linlin realized at that moment that victory was within her grasp!
As long as she continuously shatters Ortolan's consciousness, separating his body from his soul, Ortolan will be unable to mount an effective counterattack...
Three punches landed in quick succession, and Charlotte Linlin's combo left Ortolan with no chance to retaliate.
However, just as Charlotte Linlin's fourth punch was about to land, Ortolan moved and grabbed Charlotte Linlin's wrist, stopping her powerful blow.
Charlotte Linlin was surprised as she looked into Ortolan's eyes, but at that moment, Ortolan's eyes were still rolled back.
But in the next instant, he regained his composure and grinned. "The human body, isn't it amazing? The stronger the body, the greater its adaptability. When you first used this power, I felt that if I were to take a few more punches, I might be able to adapt!"
With a squeeze of her wrist, Charlotte Linlin's bones creaked under the strain. A cruel smile played on Ortolan's lips, "Now it's my turn!"
With one hand locking Charlotte Linlin's wrist, Ortolan's body crackled with lightning as he instantly entered the Lightning Armor stance. With his other arm, he folded his elbow and delivered a powerful blow to Charlotte Linlin's abdomen!
"Heavy Flow Blast!!!" Ortolan roared.
Ortolan slightly adjusted the angle of this elbow strike, making it come from below.
Charlotte Linlin couldn't withstand the elbow strike either. Her feet were instantly lifted off the ground by the powerful force. However, at that moment, her right wrist was gripped by Ortolan, and she couldn't break free. As a result, she wasn't knocked away. Instead, she used her wrist as a fulcrum and flipped in the air, facing Ortolan with her feet pointing backward.
"Old Ape Hanging Seal!!!"
The instant Charlotte Linlin's face moved closer to Ortolan's honed martial arts skills were instinctively unleashed.
Just as Charlotte Linlin's feet left the ground, Ortolan released her wrists, then clasped his arms together, palms facing each other, and unleashed a powerful strike!
In this row, with both palms raised, he precisely hooked his hand onto Charlotte Linlin's chin. The powerful force caused her upper and lower jaws to collide, and blood gushed from her mouth instantly. At the same time, her brain trembled, as if she had a concussion, and her consciousness became momentarily hazy.
She was in a tumbling position in mid-air when she was suddenly straightened, and the force carried her into the air.
It was at this moment that Charlotte Linlin, who had been momentarily stunned by the blow, regained her senses, but by then it seemed that it was already a little too late!
She saw lightning flashing in the air, followed by a pair of hands that passed under her armpits. Before she could react, the arms were already bent back and skillfully gripped the back of her neck along her shoulder blades!
The violent and wild lightning, the instant her neck was gripped, obscured her entire field of vision.
Then, she heard her son, Bane Ortolan's, last whisper in her ear...
"Thunder Self-Detonation Bomb!!!"
A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the heavens and the earth; the violent lightning element, the instant the lightning struck the island, unfolded like a scroll, covering the entire island.
Then came a powerful tremor. This carefully chosen island could not withstand the monstrous tremor.
From a high vantage point in the air, the moment the lightning struck White Salt Island, it appeared as if shrouded in smoke, the entire island shattering and spreading across the sea.
The island base was completely destroyed, Totto Land - Totto Land Salt Mining Project ended before it could even be implemented.
After the lingering echoes of the 'smoke and mist' subsided, a fierce surge of waves rose up, forming a massive tsunami tens of meters high, which spread outwards in all directions across the sea.
Whether it was the warship that came to observe the battle or the Queen Mother of the Hymn, they all had experts on board, and successfully weathered the great tsunami.
After the tsunami, the sea and islands were scattered and fragmented, and it took about ten minutes for the water to gradually stabilize.
At this moment, within that fragment of an island, roughly several hundred meters in diameter, Ortolan was standing at the edge, reaching out to grab Charlotte Linlin's leg.
Charlotte Linlin, with half her body submerged underwater, surprisingly hadn't lost consciousness from the 'Thunder Self-Detonation Bomb'. Instead, she was waving her hands and twisting her body, struggling.
Without wasting any time, Ortolan pulled his elderly mother from the sea onto the shore.
Charlotte Linlin coughed up several mouthfuls of seawater, her hair disheveled, and crimson blood mixed with the remaining seawater flowed continuously down her head. The imposing aura that had once brought her to the other side had now vanished.
She remained seated on the ground, while Ortolan stood a short distance in front of her and said, "How about it? Are you convinced now? Even if you have a sudden Food Addiction now, I can cure you in a minute!"
To everyone's surprise, Charlotte Linlin didn't show any anger on her face. She stared blankly at Ortolan for more than ten seconds before suddenly laughing.
"You've grown up... Ortolan," Charlotte Linlin murmured with a smile.
Ortolan paused for a moment, then his expression became much more complicated. After a while, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to act like your mother at a time like this, you old woman!"
Speaking of you, you truly cared for me like a mother...
But as he turned around, Ortolan looked at the not-so-still sea and thought about it carefully... Although she hadn't done it before, since they met again, Charlotte Linlin had... barely... taken care of him... how should I put it?
Today, the outcome is decided.
