"Charlotte Linlin?" Rocks repeated the name, his expression shifting from icy to playfully amused. Behind him, Newgate grinned, revealing an extremely excited smile. He didn't look like he was facing an enemy, but rather sizing up an interesting toy. "Gurararara! You've got a big mouth, little girl!"
"Little girl?" Charlotte Linlin's huge eyes narrowed dangerously. She slammed the giant spiked club on her shoulder, Ikoku, onto the deck. BOOM! The alloy deck that Dolum had just reinforced was dented. Dolum's heart clenched at the sound, the color draining from his face as he silently muttered, "My ship... my precious..."
"That's right, I'm talking to you," Rocks took a step forward. An invisible, world-scorning Haki spread out like a tide, instantly suppressing Linlin's willful and violent aura. Even the raging White Squall seemed to pause for a moment in the face of this will.
"This ship is mine. The people on it are my crew. The food on it was made by my Head Chef," Rocks's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable, absolute authority. "Now, get off my ship, and I can pretend this never happened."
"Wahahaha! Interesting! So interesting!" Charlotte Linlin, far from being angered, burst into an even sharper, ear-piercing laugh. Her huge eyes shone with greed and excitement, as if she had discovered something more interesting than treasure and food. "Your Haki is very good. I like it!"
Linlin licked her lips, and her massive body suddenly moved with a speed that completely belied her size. The thundercloud under her feet, Zeus, let out a cheerful cry and instantly lifted her into the air. At the same time, a blazing ball of fire, as if it had a life of its own, appeared in her left hand. The flame took the shape of a sun, emitting a scorching light.
"Sun Prometheus!"
"Thundercloud Zeus!"
Linlin held the sun in her left hand and stood on the thundercloud with her right foot, like a demon god descending upon the mortal world. This was her ability, the Soul-Soul Fruit, which could grant souls to inanimate objects, turning them into loyal servants.
"Since you won't submit, you'll become part of my collection!" Linlin shrieked. Prometheus in her left hand shot down toward Rocks's ship like a real meteor, carrying the heat to incinerate everything. At the same time, a massive amount of lightning gathered in Zeus's mouth under her feet, and a thick bolt of lightning followed closely behind, aimed straight at Newgate! This dual attack was enough to vaporize a Marine warship and the surrounding sea.
"Gurararara! Petty tricks!" Newgate, instead of retreating, charged forward. He didn't even use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, simply swinging the naginata in his hand. A slash made of pure Conqueror's Haki cut through the air. The lightning bolt, powerful enough to split a mountain, shattered like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the Haki slash, dissipating into countless small arcs of electricity in the air.
On the other side, faced with the flaming meteor that could melt steel, Rocks didn't even bother to lift an eyelid. He just extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air. "Dark Water." A black, all-consuming vortex of gravity appeared in the path of Prometheus. The moment the ball of fire came into contact with the darkness, it was silently swallowed and annihilated, as if it had never existed, without even a chance to struggle.
"What?!" For the first time, a look of shock appeared on Linlin's face in mid-air. Her two proudest and strongest Homies had been dealt with so effortlessly?
"Wahahaha! Gatz! Your turn!" Rocks laughed and gave the order.
"OOOH!" Gatz, who could no longer hold back, let out an excited roar. He pushed off the deck with his powerful legs, and his massive body shot into the air like a black cannonball, heading straight for Charlotte Linlin. "Giant Anchor: Meteor Crash!" In the air, Gatz swung his giant anchor, creating an impenetrable black whirlwind, and brought it down on Linlin's head!
A flicker of contempt crossed Linlin's eyes. A mere crew member dared to attack her? She raised her spiked club, Ikoku, to meet the attack. CLANG! A deafening metallic clang echoed. Gatz felt an irresistible force coming from the other's club. The webbing of his hands split open, and he was sent flying backward like a broken kite. He slammed heavily onto the deck and skidded for more than ten meters before stopping, coughing up a mouthful of blood. In a single blow, the difference in strength was clear.
"Worthless trash," Linlin snorted, her gaze once again locking onto Rocks and Newgate.
Just as she was about to attack again, a silver afterimage silently appeared behind her. It was Silver. He had somehow sneaked up behind Linlin, the spear in his hand like a dormant viper, silently striking at the back of her neck. This thrust contained all of Silver's spirit and was the pinnacle of his assassination skills at that moment.
However, the tip of the spear stopped a centimeter from Linlin's skin, unable to advance any further. An invisible barrier made of Conqueror's Haki had blocked his attack. "Armament and Conqueror's Haki infusion? Interesting," Linlin didn't even turn her head, just swung her club backward.
Silver's pupils contracted. He immediately pulled back his spear and retreated, but the club was too fast. He only had time to block with the shaft of his spear. BAM! Silver was also sent flying by a huge force. Although he adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily, the arm holding the spear was trembling slightly.
"Gurararara, the warm-up is over," Newgate said, planting his naginata on the deck. An invisible shockwave spread out, slightly calming the raging waves around them. "Rocks, I'll take this woman. You watch the ship."
"No," Rocks shook his head. He walked a few steps forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Newgate, his eyes burning as he stared at Linlin in the air. "She's mine. You just take care of those two flying things."
"Wahahaha! Fine! Then let's see who finishes their opponent first!"
The two future hegemons of the seas had reached a consensus.
Charlotte Linlin looked at the two men on the ground, who were exuding a terrifying aura, the excitement on her face growing even more intense. "Both of you at once? Perfect! Saves me the trouble of dealing with you one by one!" She laughed and urged Zeus and Prometheus to attack. A chaotic battle erupted in the middle of the White Squall, a natural disaster.
