Lafitte calmly took out the specially made electromagnetic pistol from the lined holster, pointed it at the flying Charlotte Opera, raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
The faint blue electromagnetic rays incorporated into the external Armament Haki hit the whipped cream shield that Charlotte Opera instantly opened, directly punching a large, charred hole.
Just a second before the ray was about to hit his body, Busoshoku Haki, as smooth as water, surged out of Charlotte Opera's body, spreading along the surface of the cream shield, scattering the remaining electromagnetic rays in the air.
"In order to wait for this day, I went back to Whole Cake Island to ask my mother for advanced usage of Armament Haki. Today is the day you die!"
Under the control of Charlotte Opera's thoughts, the whipped cream covering the body quickly condensed into several long white ropes as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and was grabbed towards Lafitte from different angles from all directions. The cream ropes intertwined into a net in the air, and the mesh became smaller and smaller.
Lafitte raised the cane, and a Hasshoken diffuse shock wave suddenly burst out from the tip of the cane. The surrounding air was like a small pebble being dropped into a calm lake, creating circles of transparent ripples that swept through and crushed all the whipped cream ropes into fine milk foam in an instant.
Then, he flapped the pair of pure white wings on his back that were as pure as angels, soared into the sky, pulling out blurry white lines, so fast that they left high-speed afterimages, surrounding Charlotte Opera in the center.
"Having confidence is naturally a good thing, but my strength has not grown without standing still for so many years."
Listening to the sounds that seemed to come from every direction at the same time, Charlotte Opera's expression did not change at all, and he gritted his teeth to maximize the fruit power in his body.
"It's just an afterimage. Just attack them all together."
The thick whipped cream was like an erupting tsunami, sweeping away in all directions around it, almost submerging the entire street in the milky white wave.
Opening up a layer of flowing Haki armor, wrapping around the entire body, Lafitte flapped its wings and plunged into the surging white wave.
As soon as the whipped cream on the surface came into contact with the Haki armor and burned it, he immediately mobilized the Haki reserves in his body to repair it. The armor solidified again, was burned again, and repaired again. This repeated.
"This level of Haki strength..."
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Charlotte Opera's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart was filled with turmoil, and his face was full of disbelief and shock.
He is naturally aware of the power of his high-temperature whipped cream. Although he can barely resist it with Armament Haki, it is definitely not possible for just anyone to continuously consume the Haki reserve and walk through the wave of cream without any harm.
At least inside Big Mom Pirates, except for a few Sweet Commander and his mother, if anyone else dares to break in, they will be burned and saccharified by the high-temperature cream without even having time to spend Haki reinforcing and repairing the defense.
Didn't the intelligence collected before say that this guy has been sitting in an office doing clerical work all these years? How could he still cultivate to this level of Haki?
Under the cover of the wave of whipped cream, Lafitte arrived in front of Charlotte Opera in an instant, holding up his cane and passing it over.
"[Cream Heavy Fist]!"
Charlotte Opera reacted very quickly, and immediately rushed forward with a fist wrapped in hot cream and Armament Haki.
The Armament Haki wrapped around the cane, which was far superior to the opponent's level, instantly wiped away all the Haki on Charlotte Opera's fist, and then scattered the whipped cream attached to the surface, hitting the surface of his fist's skin.
As Hasshoken's invisible shock wave suddenly bloomed at the point of contact, Charlotte Opera's entire right arm and shoulder exploded on the spot, and the broken bones and flesh formed a dark red mist in the cream.
Lafitte raised his eyes and glanced around, looked at the security surveillance camera closest to him at the corner of the street, and slowly made a gesture to signify the end.
The battle has reached this point, and although the winner has not yet been determined, it is already clear who is stronger and who is weaker, and there is no point in continuing to waste it.
Lucas in the monitoring room could clearly see the battle situation on the street through the screen. Seeing the gesture from Lafitte, he turned his head and glanced at the secretary who was standing by. The next second, Air Door suddenly opened behind Charlotte Opera.
Lucas reached out and pointed at Charlotte Opera opposite Air Door, grasped it in the air, and drew out all the blood from the opponent's body.
Dressrosa District.
Smoothie covered Busoshoku Haki with the long sword in his hand and swung it down. With one stroke, he split the blood-sucking spider in front of him in half. The blade passed through the bulging belly of the insect, and the juice and broken shells splashed to both sides, forming several sticky traces on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she kicked away Beautiful Dream Body, who was rushing towards her, and kicked the face exactly like her own with the sole of her boot.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, she broke through the encirclement.
At this moment, Smoothie, who was comparable in size to an adult giantess, moved her long legs wrapped around Busoshoku Haki and ran rampant through the buildings.
Wherever she passed, buildings were smashed into pieces by her brutally, opening a straight and smooth passage in the dense building complex, and she rushed towards the adjacent area without looking back. The Black Maria behind her stepped on the spider's legs and bit tightly not far behind her.
When Smoothie finally stepped into the adjacent Aplunam District, and his eyes swept across the snowy, deserted town streets, his heart instantly sank to the bottom, and a biting chill climbed up his back spine.
With her current level of development of Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, she is still unable to directly extract water from the surrounding environment. Like Dressrosa District, there are no living creatures in this area and there are not enough organisms to provide a source of water. Most of her strength has been directly cut off.
There was no way to use the further enlargement tactic. Smoothie stood up suddenly, turned around and changed his tactic. The long sword in his hand was filled with water and he slashed hard, and a high-pressure water column shot out.
As a person with abilities Paramecia·Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, she can not only use the water extracted from various living organisms to strengthen her body, but also turn this water into extremely lethal attack methods.
The water column that was blessed with Armament Haki was so powerful that the [Beautiful Dream Body] it hit along the way was pierced into pieces and went straight towards the Black Maria chasing after it.
Circles of translucent ripples opened up in the air in front of him, and Black Maria hit Hasshoken, shaking the high-pressure water column into pieces and turning it into fine water droplets scattered all over the sky.
