Defeated and Retreating, Heavy Losses

"..."

Charlotte Linlin froze abruptly.

Feeling a sharp pain in his lower back, he looked down in disbelief.

My supposedly invincible physique, known as the Iron Balloon," has actually...

Charlotte Linlin cannot accept this!

On this vast ocean, besides Kaido, Charlotte Linlin's physique is perhaps the most abnormal, strong, and sturdy!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called Iron Balloon.

This is Charlotte Linlin's last trump card.

However, before this strange Holy Sword...

My own abilities are a joke!

How could Charlotte Linlin accept this?

In the end...

All of this is her own fault.

Why must they use those Homies created from souls distorted by the Soul-Soul Fruit to challenge the glory of the Holy Sword? And now, they're even using their so-called Iron Balloon to test the Holy Sword's sharpness?

If you don't die, who will?

If Charlotte Linlin had played it safe from the start, she might not have lost so miserably, but Charlotte Linlin clearly couldn't have imagined that at this point.

In her anger, she disregarded her injuries and endured the excruciating pain, raising her hand again to strike Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Die!"

Then, almost without hesitation, he drew his Holy Sword and slashed it at Charlotte Linlin's neck!

It's easy to imagine.

If this blow lands squarely, the seas will be one less emperor today!

"Stop!"

"That's enough!"

Naturally, some people wouldn't let things continue like this. Charlotte Katakuri reacted the fastest, joined forces with Kaido. Charlotte Katakuri grabbed Charlotte Linlin's shoulder and flew backward.

Kaido, on the other hand, chose to attack Lin Yan's Holy Sword!

Under Kaido's cover, Charlotte Katakuri successfully escaped the battlefield with a disgruntled Charlotte Linlin.

Kaido's spiked club, meanwhile, was aimed at the Holy Sword in Lin Yan's hand.

Laugh----!

Almost without any resistance, the Holy Sword sliced Kaido's spiked club in two as easily as cutting tofu, and then, with its remaining force, slashed straight towards Kaido's arm.

Aside from Lin Yan's Infinite Martial Arts, the sheer sharpness of the Holy Sword itself is also evident.

"?!"

Kaido reacted extremely quickly.

Without hesitation, Kaido discarded the remaining half of his spiked club and immediately flew away.

Even so, the Holy Sword still grazed Kaido's arm.

A deep, bone-revealing scar was left on his arm.

If Kaido quickly...

The consequences of this sword strike...

"..."

Even someone like Kaido fell silent.

Of course, for someone like Kaido who has experienced countless brutal battles, this injury is nothing to worry about. Kaido was just a little shocked that he was actually injured.

"Even Famous Sword couldn't cut my skin..."

Instantly, Kaido's gaze towards Lin Yan turned somewhat ferocious.

Along with it, there was also a hint of joy!

It's the joy of finding a worthy opponent!

Something capable of killing itself has appeared!

Over a decade, through countless brutal battles, he has gradually ascended to the throne of the Sea Emperor.

For Kaido option.

It's as simple as eating and drinking.

But almost no one can hurt themselves! Whether it's Famous Sword, Seastone, or all sorts of strange weapons.

Except for that man from Wano Country more than a decade ago.

No one can leave scars on themselves!

But today, he felt the pain again!

More than being shocked or angry, Kaido was pleasantly surprised!

If it weren't for the unpredictable consequences of a full-scale battle with Lin Yan here, he would probably have suffered the same losses as Charlotte Linlin; otherwise, Kaido would have already charged in.

After all, his Beasts Pirates was still here.

Lin Yan in front of him was not alone.

Unlike Charlotte Linlin, Kaido values his subordinates highly.

In light of this, Kaido had no choice but to suppress his desire to fight.

He gave Lin Yan a deep look, and then left with a final sentence.

"One day, I Kaido, will personally take your life!"

With that, Kaido turned around without looking back.

"Beasts Pirates! Retreat!"

Ignoring his bleeding arm, Kaido roared.

Today's battle.

They've done their best!

Whether it's Charlotte Linlin, who has suffered heavy losses, or the injury on her own arm, they have to admit that they underestimated their opponent this time!

It's no longer appropriate to continue fighting.

After all, they're not really on the same side as the navy, are they?

"..."

Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Linlin on the other side also fell silent for a while, and finally, they reluctantly gave the same order as the Beasts Pirates.

The power belonging to the Four Emperors' crews began to recede like a receding tide.

Then, the pressure immediately shifted to the navy.

What do we do now?

Even now, there was no fear on Garp's face. He simply smiled and turned to ask Steel Bone Kong.

"Let's retreat too."

Steel Bone Kong shook his head.

It's clear to anyone with eyes that they have completely failed this time, and continuing to persist is pointless and will only increase casualties.

Even Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, was defeated, and Kaido was also injured as a result. The remaining people really don't have much of a chance.

Therefore, the best decision is to cut ties decisively.

With a hint of regret in Lin Yan eyes, Steel Bone Kong shook his head and turned to give the order.

And then, at this very moment...

The entire Gran Tesoro suddenly erupted in excitement.

Literally boiling over!

Before anyone knew it, gold had appeared everywhere on the streets, boiling like water.

Then, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"Lin Yan, please leave the rest to me!"

"... Um?"

Lin Yan was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then turned her head with interest to look at the man who appeared at the top of the Gran Tesoro.

"You're back? How did things go?"

Upon hearing this, Gild Tesoro, who was standing at the highest point, immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Thanks to you, it's all taken care of!"

A happy smile appeared on Gild Tesoro's face.

"Sorry I was a little delayed because I had to check something on the way back. I didn't expect to miss the most exciting part, but don't worry, I'll clean up the mess!"

Gild Tesoro said confidently.

At the same moment, Donquixote Doflamingo's voice rang out.

"Friday... If we don't contribute at this point, our business partners will look down on us, won't they?"

Upon seeing the two appear, Steel Bone Kong's expression finally turned ugly.

"Gild Tesoro... and Donquixote Doflamingo too?"
