Conqueror's Haki

At this moment, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and the others arrived on the scene, standing not far away to watch the battle.

"Newgate is going all out."

"That is truly a rare sight!"

Golden Lion knew full well that Newgate's strength was immense; there were very few opponents on this sea worthy of Newgate exerting his full power.

"Ma-ma, ma-ma."

"I really want to have a strong child with Carl."

Charlotte Linlin, seeing the wounds on Carl's body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, coveted his bloodline even more. She knew from her research that the Titan Bloodline had never appeared in this world before, and its power was far from weak—in fact, it far exceeded her imagination.

"Captain Newgate, go!"

"Captain Carl, go!"

"Captain Carl has become even stronger."

Clay had just finished marveling at how much stronger Captain Carl had become.

Turning his head, he saw another group of pirates cheering for Newgate and immediately led his own subordinates to cheer for Carl.

As time passed, the battle gradually reached a fever pitch.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the two men's attacks collided once again.

The massive impact generated a powerful blast of air, blowing away all the surrounding trees and rocks.

Carl and Newgate retreated simultaneously.

"Clang!"

Newgate planted his long blade into the ground.

"Now, let's get serious."

"Gurarara, take this!"

"Crack!"

Newgate crouched low and threw a fierce punch with his right fist, shattering the space in front of him as if it were glass.

Carl immediately felt a powerful, unstoppable shockwave rushing toward him, locking the space around his body and bringing with it an intense sense of crisis.

He knew he could no longer hesitate, so he instantly unleashed his Lightning Method, charging toward Newgate like an unstoppable bolt of thunder.

"Palm Lightning!"

A bolt of lightning shot instantly from Carl's right palm, attacking Newgate at high speed.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

Newgate barely had time to voice the question in his mind!

"Jiehahahaha!"

"Carl actually has the power of lightning? Is it a Devil Fruit?"

"What a pity, I was a step too late to recruit him."

Golden Lion, hovering in mid-air, cursed himself for not meeting Carl sooner to bring him into his own crew.

"Ma-ma, ma-ma!"

"I want to have a child with Carl even more now."

Charlotte Linlin immediately attributed Carl's lightning ability to his lineage, as she knew that, to date, Carl had never eaten a Devil Fruit.

Amidst the astonishment of everyone present, the bolt of lightning struck Newgate instantly.

Although Newgate had managed to cover his entire body with Armament Haki in time, a numbing sensation swept through him in an instant.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong; the power was immense.

He felt the lightning rampaging through his body, becoming difficult to suppress.

What he didn't know was that Carl's lightning was not merely the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but the natural power of the heavens and earth.

Naturally, an ordinary person could not block it.

"Ugh!"

Newgate couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You're quite impressive, Carl."

Newgate wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

However, this minor injury couldn't truly harm Newgate, whose own physical recovery was also incredibly strong.

He quickly adjusted his state and launched a counterattack.

Planting his feet on the ground, he brandished his Haki-infused blade and flew toward Carl at high speed.

The battle between Newgate and Carl grew increasingly intense. Their movements were as fast as lightning, leaving the onlookers unable to keep up; the air was filled with afterimages, a clear sign that their combat speed was so high it lingered on the retinas.

Newgate roared like a wild beast, every punch carrying the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, radiating such infinite force that the surrounding air trembled.

Carl did not show the slightest sign of weakness.

"Thunderbolt Fist!"

Carl infused the Lightning Method into her fist, erupting with dazzling lightning to counter him.

During the exchange, their leg techniques were equally formidable. Newgate unleashed a sweeping kick, while Carl countered with lightning-fast consecutive kicks. Their legs intertwined and collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

Newgate suddenly changed his tactics, reaching out with his left hand to grab Carl's shoulder.

Carl was quick-witted and agile, utilizing an Iron Body-like defensive technique to block Newgate's attack.

Immediately following, Carl threw an uppercut that struck Newgate's chin, forcing him to take a few steps back.

Newgate burst into laughter, seemingly excited by his own mistake; after all, he rarely faltered, and this gave him a rare thrill in battle.

He charged at Carl once more, his arms shrouded in a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki, and smashed them toward her.

Carl was undaunted; her fists radiated a brilliant golden light as they collided with Newgate's.

The massive shockwave generated by the clash of their fists shook the entire island, sending dust and debris flying.

Nearby ships instantly began to bob and heave with the surging waves.

Many of the weaker pirates had blood spilling from their ears.

Yet, they had no intention of missing this top-tier battle between Division Commanders; after all, everyone has a penchant for gossip and spectacle.

"Gahahahaha!"

"John, you have no hope of getting your revenge now."

Golden Lion Shiki said with a mocking expression.

He was well aware that John had been secretly plotting how to retaliate against Carl.

John's face turned grim, and he remained silent. He knew that given Carl's current strength, his plans for revenge could be officially scrapped.

"Final blow."

Newgate unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

Instantly, an aura of immense pressure burst forth.

Ripples spread outward from the island, surging wildly and destroying everything with their overwhelming momentum.

It pressed down on the pirates aboard the ships like a great mountain, leaving them unable to breathe, and in an instant, a large swath of them collapsed.

This Haki, which only one in a million people possessed, was held by many within the Rocks Pirates.

"Fine, bring it on."

As Carl sensed this Conqueror's Haki, a faint ripple within her own body responded to it.

Carl felt this power immediately and released it in an instant.

Though this power was relatively weak, it felt as if it could overwhelm everything, inspiring awe in all who felt it.

When Carl's Conqueror's Haki collided with Newgate's, the entire scene changed in an instant.

An invisible pressure permeated the air, chilling one to the bone.

Surrounding objects seemed to be struck by a massive force, beginning to tremble; leaves fell in droves, the sea roared and churned, and the sky seemed to be torn asunder, thick with dark clouds and flashing lightning.

"Oh, Conqueror's Haki."

Golden Lion let out a sound of surprise.

He had not expected Carl to possess Conqueror's Haki.

"Mamamama!"

"I like her even more now."

Charlotte Linlin looked at Carl with a lovestruck expression.

"Damn it!"

John thought back to his foolish plans and silently sentenced them to death in his heart.

"Hmm, Carl, is it?"

At this moment, inside the central hall of Hachinosu, Rocks let out a low murmur.

"Quite capable, aren't you?"

One had to know that Conqueror's Haki was the hallmark of a top-tier powerhouse. One might not necessarily become a top-tier powerhouse without it, but those who possessed it were destined to be among the elite.

"Hahaha! This makes the overall strength even greater; my plan should be able to..."
