Dark clouds blanketed the sky over Delsen Island.
Explosions rocked the island without end. Inside the pirates' gathering place,
several pirates armed with blades and guns, each with a bounty of over a hundred million, stared intently at the towering woman in their midst.
Charlotte Linlin, who had begun to put on weight, her face thick with flesh, broke into a savage grin.
"Who should I start with?"
Her icy gaze swept over them as though she were choosing her prey.
Alvin Hugh, captain of the Demolition Pirates, knew this could not continue. He roared:
"Attack together! Kill her!!!"
"Explosive Flow Slash!!!"
His longsword struck first, sending out a sword aura imbued with the power of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit.
Charlotte Linlin turned her gaze toward him and casually caught the sword aura.

A mushroom cloud dozens of meters tall shot into the sky, billowing thick smoke.
Tap, tap, tap, tap...
Footsteps sounded, and Charlotte Linlin walked out of the smoke without a scratch.
"Then I'll start with you."
"Mamamama~"
"Flames!"
Prometheus, who had been clinging to her hand, surged forward.
He swelled as he rushed through the air, becoming an enormous wave of fire that swept over everyone around her.
Facing the towering wave of flames, the Explosion Pirates drew their weapons and struck.
Sword aura, abilities, martial arts, and haki-they unleashed everything.
Though the Explosion Pirates were few in number, every one of them was an elite.
They shattered Prometheus's wave of fire outright.
Morley Weiz, a swordsman of the Explosion Pirates, had just landed when he heard Captain Alvin Hugh shout:
"Weiz! Dodge!!!"
Weiz suddenly sensed someone behind him, and his heart jolted.
"What!"
He instinctively tried to turn around, but all he heard was Charlotte Linlin saying:
"Rest easy and die."
Then everything went dark...
