How Could Humans Feel Killing Intent Toward Dust's Attacks?
With great effort, Charlotte Linlin turned her head to look, and only then did she notice that on her right shoulder, Uchiha Huayue was picking up a needle that gleamed with a cold light and forcefully piercing the skin.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sparks flew as the Seastone syringe deformed under two opposing, yet visible, forces, eventually becoming completely unusable.
"Mommy, Mommy, although I don't know what you're trying to do, my Iron Balloon can't be pierced by brute force and domineering power, Uchiha Huayue..."
"Indeed, this extraordinary physique is troublesome. Taking away your Lineage Factor cannot be done by brute force alone."
"I wonder if your prized Iron Balloon can last even a second under the power that can break things down into molecular states. Sage Art: Dust Release: Mini Atomic Dismantling Jutsu."
A brand-new syringe appeared, and right at the tip of the needle, a barely perceptible pale white light condensed into a thin needle-sized dot, slowly penetrating deep into Charlotte Linlin's skin.
"Aaaaaah! What... what kind of power is this? My skin, my flesh and blood are being..."
On her broad, white arm, specks of blood spread and slid down her skin. Even Charlotte Linlin's children could hardly believe it when they witnessed this scene.
"How is this possible? It actually punctured Mom's Iron Balloon! How is this possible? Mom clearly didn't expose her weakness!"
Charlotte Mont-d'Or froze, the only way to disable her mother's Iron Balloon was to make her emit strange noises in a state of extreme sadness.
The only things that could make a mother sad are not being able to eat the dessert she wants and having a picture of Sister Carmel destroyed.
But what's going on now? What exactly happened?
"Alright, I'll accept the Lineage Factor from the Soul-Soul Fruit. Until I collect all the Lineage Factor from your children, you'd better stay here obediently, you Infinite Bandit."
The black ring in her hand spread out, and Charlotte Linlin's pupils shrank to the size of wheat awns. The prison that had reached out to her twenty years ago descended upon her once more.
Bang!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and Charlotte Linlin's enormous body vanished without a trace, replaced by a rhomboid black cube.
"Mother!"
"How could this be?! What did he do to Mom?!"
"She's gone, Mom has completely disappeared! What happened? Mom..."
Charlotte Family Linlin, Four Emperors who ruled the New World for over a decade and was revered as the Emperor of the Sea by countless pirates, has vanished.
Despite Charlotte Linlin's extreme cruelty, she would beat and verbally abuse her children whenever they refused to listen to her, and even expressed murderous intent towards them on several occasions.
However, she is still their mother, the biggest banner of the Big Mom Pirates.
Now that the flag has disappeared and there are formidable enemies present, what should they do?
However, in this time of widespread anxiety, a gentle and calm voice, like moonlight, echoed in everyone's minds.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just sending Linlin to another dimension temporarily. She'll be back safely on Whole Cake Island in a few hours..."
"Uchiha Huayue, do you think we'd believe you when you say such things?! Die!"
As her body continued to expand and she became more hydrated, Charlotte Smoothie grew to a size almost that of Giant Race, and the longsword in her hand grew even larger.
"Ha!"
A surge of powerful sword energy leaped forth, slicing through all the vines and branches that had previously blocked its path, and in the blink of an eye, it flew down before its eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the flowing pure white flames, a terrifying sword aura stretching over a hundred meters long was held expressionlessly in Uchiha Huayue's hand, like a delicate and fragile work of art.
"It can even expand its own body. It seems that in addition to the basic abilities, Devil Fruit also require the Ability User to develop and utilize them. What is your Devil Fruit?"
The surrounding area was completely silent.
Many of the Charlotte Family's children already showed signs of despair. Their opponent was one of the Four Emperors Four Emperors, who had defeated their mother in one fell swoop, and had not shown any signs of fatigue or weakness until now.
If things continue like this, not only will they not be able to rescue their mother, but they themselves will also die a violent death, Big Mom Pirates may very well be wiped out.
"Brûlée, open the Mirror World and escape as far away as possible..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Katakuri, who had struggled to pull out the four Chakra Black Rods, was sweating profusely. It was unknown how much of his strength this action had consumed.
"Brother!"
Brûlée looked worried; she had never seen Katakuri look like this since he was born.
Covered in blood and utterly exhausted, yet the unwavering determination in his eyes never faded.
"Run!"
Unleashing his deep blue Conqueror's Haki, accompanied by countless lightning sparks, Uchiha Huayue, who was surrounded by vines, transformed his flowing mochi ball into a sharp spiked club, charging headlong into the seemingly invincible opponent before him.
"Chop, slice, rice cake!"
Ding ding dong...
Deep blue sparks flew, and the Conqueror's Haki, imbued with a strong will, relentlessly surged forth, attempting to invade the powerful spiritual energy comparable to half a small planet. The result was predictable.
"Conqueror's Haki, this special kind of Haki, seems to be called the qualification to become a king in this world. Only one in a million people can possess this qualification, but in the New World, it is as numerous as carp crossing a river."
"In reality, Conqueror's Haki seems to have nothing to do with becoming a king of any place; it is simply an ability that arises when one has a grand goal."
The rapidly spinning glutinous rice meteor hammer came flying at Huayue without dodging or avoiding it, her eyes slightly shifting.
Rumble...
In an instant, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a strange, multicolored radiance shone brightly before the eyes of the Charlotte Family's children.
Ten-colored Lightning Serpent danced wildly and coiled around her. Just as Brûlée was about to open the Mirror World, she felt a jolt in her body. Her Devil Fruit power became unusable for a moment. The inexplicable powerlessness and numbness made her look horrified.
"Brother... brother... power... the power of the fruit has been..."
Sizzle!
Katakuri froze, and not only him, but also dozens of the Charlotte Family children present were rendered unable to move, regardless of whether they were Devil Fruit Ability User or not.
"This is?"
"As long as the Haki is strong enough, it can not only render the Devil Fruit's power ineffective, but also paralyze the body of others and seal their fruit power. This is also a manifestation of the suppression of fantasy."
In Katakuri's trembling pupils, the needle in front of him was particularly dazzling, Huayue's smile was gentle, like a doctor receiving his patient.
"Please don't be nervous. I'm just absorbing a little bit of your Lineage Factor. I won't kill you. How could a human release killing intent towards an attack from dust?"
