Conqueror's Haki Coating: Dragon-Slaying Strike

"The games are over."

As the words fell—

Boom!

Conqueror's Haki erupted, tearing the sky open as if an invisible hand had ripped it apart!

Black-and-red arcs leaped wildly through the air, while an overwhelming pressure swept out in every direction!

Crackle!

The ground began to cave in, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

Breathing became difficult. The entire space seemed to lock shut.

Crack! Crack!

The whole Flower Capital trembled.

High above—

Rumble!

Thunderclouds were dragged together by force, churning and spinning.

Layer upon layer, each pressing down on the last.

Lightning writhed through the clouds like a disaster descending from the heavens.

Far away in the sky—

Linlin had only just steadied herself. One hand clutched Zeus tightly as she breathed hard.

She looked up, and her pupils contracted sharply!

"This Conqueror's Haki..."

Her voice tightened, carrying a trace of fear she had not felt in years.

"It's actually like Rocks's..."

Before she could finish, the thundercloud beneath her lurched!

Hum!

As though a higher power had seized control, Zeus jolted and shrieked.

"Mama!"

Linlin's expression changed!

She looked down, her pupils trembling. The thundercloud in her grasp was slipping away!

It was not breaking free. It was being taken!

Her will could not control him. The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit had been completely suppressed.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

The next instant—

Whoosh!

Zeus was ripped away, turning into a streak of lightning that shot skyward and merged with the raging thunderclouds!

With nothing beneath her feet, Linlin instantly lost her balance.

She plummeted into the Flower Capital!

Boom!

The ruins collapsed again. Broken walls and beams were pulverized, and dust billowed skyward.

A moment later, Linlin rose from the wreckage, her hair disheveled.

"He even took Zeus..."

She stared up at the thunderclouds, genuine wariness
