Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: The Underworld's Welcome Ceremony, The Grown-up Linlin

As the conveyor belt made of trees moved slowly forward.

The biting wind and snow seemed to be crushed by invisible hands, turning into speckles of snow foam like shattered jade. After falling leisurely for a moment, they completely dissipated into the air.

The biting wind and snow gradually stopped.

Revealing a new world with warm spring and blooming flowers.

A warm breeze carrying the sweet scent of flowers hit them in the face, and a new world with warm spring and blooming flowers suddenly crashed into their vision.

It was a town woven from towering giant trees and brilliant flowers. Vines wrapped around the tree trunks to build winding corridors, petals of various colors danced in the wind like colorful butterflies, and even the air seemed to float with a glazed luster.

Joyful songs drifted from every corner of the town, ethereal and soft, as if soaked in honey.

Giants came and went between the town and the fields, and children of all sizes rolled and played in the playground.

Miss Buckingham narrowed her eyes, looking at the giant tree gate covered with roses ahead. The gilded characters engraved on the gate shone brightly in the sun: "Gate of Heaven (Paradise)?"

The young Edward Newgate looked at the town full of family joy, envy flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Whoosh——

A carpet as red as flames suddenly unrolled from the depths of the town, extending all the way to everyone's feet. The fluffy carpet surface felt as soft as clouds when stepped on.

Just then, a figure wrapped in petals flipped out of the gate with a neat 360° front flip, landing steadily at the front of the red carpet.

Streusen straightened his crisp formal suit and bowed elegantly: "Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Paradise created by my King."

Saying this, Streusen took out a baton from his sleeve and waved it.

In an instant, all the Homies located everywhere stopped simultaneously. Then, following Streusen's baton wave, they began to sing in unison with perfect articulation:

"Dear friends, we come to meet~"

"Wonderful lyrics." Rocks and the others couldn't understand the language with its special intonation, but they could feel the emotions in the singing.

Beep beep——

A crisp horn sounded, and a peculiarly shaped carriage drove slowly over, stopping in front of everyone.

The carriage was an open-top style woven from emerald green vines, dotted with tiny flowers.

The seats were fluffy and white, like cotton candy kneaded from clouds;

The most eye-catching thing was the mount pulling the carriage.

A unicorn covered entirely in ice crystals, with fine ice shards condensed on its silver-white mane, reflecting a colorful halo when running. Wherever its four hooves stepped, the air seemed to be dyed with a layer of thin frost.

"Wahahaha, what a special ceremony."

Rocks laughed loudly, and without waiting for an invitation, flashed into the carriage and lay down comfortably: "Eh, this touch is like cotton candy, quite comfortable. You guys come up quickly."

Miss Buckingham stepped forward, her fingertips gently stroking the unicorn's cold and smooth fur, blinked at Streusen, her voice coquettish: "Will there be other special things?"

"Can we take this away?" Wang Zhi also stared at the ice crystal unicorn, unable to look away.

Nobles like this kind of flashy stuff the most; it would definitely sell for a good price outside.

"Everything in Paradise belongs to my King. I have no decision-making power. Perhaps you can buy it from my King." Streusen didn't refuse directly: "My King already knows of your arrival and has specially set up a banquet for you distinguished guests."

He changed the subject and made a "please" gesture, "My King already knows of your arrival and has specially set up a banquet for you distinguished guests."

After saying that, Streusen flipped onto the unicorn's back.

Neigh!

The unicorn neighed, its four hooves lifted lightly, pulling the carriage towards the depths of the town.

Soon, a huge "mountain peak" entered the eyes of Rocks and his group.

"Such a high mountain, just like the Red Line."

Marlon, a mafia member from the West Blue, looked up at Adam and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Only the height of the Red Line could compare to such a giant object.

Streusen explained: "This is not a mountain; this is the World Tree supporting Elbaf—Adam."

"Adam?" Marlon was shocked.

Miss Buckingham was also somewhat incredulous: "Can the Treasure Tree Adam actually grow this big?"

"That's right. The entire Elbaf is built on the World Tree. The Underworld we are in now is exactly at the root of Adam." Streusen affirmed. He also couldn't believe it when he first learned this news.

"An island-like World Tree?" Greed and jealousy overflowed in Wang Zhi's eyes.

The wood of the Treasure Tree Adam is incredibly tough, capable of withstanding extreme pressure without damage.

Just a piece of wood capable of making the keel of a small or medium-sized ship can be hyped to a sky-high price of tens of millions of Berries on the black market.

Wang Zhi looked at Adam and swallowed his saliva unproductively.

This isn't a tree; this is clearly an inexhaustible mountain of gold!!

Damn giants, actually monopolizing such a peerless treasure!

"We have arrived, distinguished guests."

The unicorn stopped, and Streusen's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back to reality.

At the end of the line of sight, an incredibly magnificent palace stood quietly.

The palace was not built of bricks and stones, but woven from Adam's thick roots piercing the earth. The intertwined roots were like the spines of giant dragons.

Looking from afar, the entire palace looked like a dormant giant beast, opening a giant mouth capable of swallowing the world.

On both sides of the castle stood giant warriors with sharp eyes.

"Wahahaha! This is more like it! What an impressive aura!"

Rocks laughed loudly, his gaze burning as he stared at those giant warriors. Compared to that Harald who kept talking about "equality," these iron-blooded giants before him were the true Giant Tribe in his impression!

"This number is indeed a bit too much." Newgate's mustache trembled. Even for him, it would take some effort to deal with these giants.

At this moment, at the end of the road in front of the palace, a graceful and charming figure walked out slowly.

It was a young woman wearing a bowler hat.

Her height seemed somewhat petite in front of the giants over twenty meters tall, only about nine meters.

A pair of long, slender legs were wrapped tightly in skinny jeans, outlining smooth and powerful lines.

On her feet were high heels comparable to the height of an ordinary human. Exquisite toes peeked out from the front, painted with pink nail polish, looking like carved warm jade. With every step, the heels made a crisp sound on the ground.

Her bulging upper body stretched the white camisole tight, the curves under the fabric thrilling.

A head of long, fluffy, and lustrous pink curly hair draped casually over her shoulders like a waterfall. A few strands fell on her full forehead, making that face even more bright and beautiful.

Her eye sockets were deep, pupil color dark; nose bridge high, lips full, lip color red as blood, revealing a soul-stirring charm.

But everyone could feel that the most dangerous person present was this woman.

"Welcome, everyone, to Paradise."

Charlotte Linlin nodded slightly, raised her hand to take off the bowler hat on her head, and bowed elegantly. Her smile was so perfect that not a single flaw could be picked out, "Loki asked me to send his regards to you all."

The moment her voice fell, her fingers pinching the brim of the hat suddenly tightened!

Whoosh!

That exquisite bowler hat deformed and elongated rapidly in her hand. A metallic cold light flashed by, actually turning into a giant machete with ferocious serrations!

Charlotte Linlin held the knife in one hand, aimed at the entire Rocks Pirates, the smile on the corner of her mouth becoming dangerous: "The feast of Paradise is ready, but whether you have the qualifications to sit at the table requires my, Charlotte Linlin's, approval!!!"

As her voice fell, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki, wrapped in her unique innate strange voice, rolled out in all directions like a tsunami!

Crack crack crack crack~~

The frozen soil under her feet cracked instantly. Spiderweb-like fissures spread frantically towards the surroundings with her as the center, gravel splashing, smoke and dust rising!

Newgate frowned slightly.

"What a boastful woman!" Shiki shook the ash off his cigar unhappily.

"Hey hey hey, Captain, we can't pretend we didn't hear that." Wang Zhi secretly fueled the fire.

"Wahahaha, don't be so serious. Don't tell me you guys don't even have the confidence to defeat a girl!"

Rocks laughed loudly, fueling the fire in reverse.

He recognized her. The Charlotte Linlin in front of him was the girl who destroyed the G-14 Branch with Harald's son more than ten years ago.

He thought that child DOOM should still be in his growing period after more than ten years.

But Charlotte Linlin, with such an aura, is still willing to work for DOOM.

A trace of fervent light flashed in the depths of Rocks' eyes.

Perhaps, this trip to Elbaf, that kid named DOOM will give him an unexpected surprise!

"Phew~ Then I'll go eat first."

Marlon exhaled a thick puff of smoke, the spark of the cigar flickering in the air. With a shift of his steps, his figure flashed in front of Charlotte Linlin like a ghost. The lapel of his chest was torn open fiercely, and he pulled out a giant pistol with an exaggerated shape.

The pitch-black gun body was covered with rich Armament Haki, flashing with a metallic cold light.

Marlon's finger was on the trigger, and a sinister smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "Want to weigh us? Then let me test if you are qualified."

Suddenly, Charlotte Linlin in front of him turned into a mass of darkness and dispersed. At the same time, the opponent's cold and ruthless voice came from his ear!

"Your speed is too slow."

"Hmm?"

Marlon's eyes turned left to look at the source of the sound.

A high heel covered in Armament Haki, wrapped in the power of a thunderbolt, was already close at hand.

The heel was sharp as a knife, carrying a sharp sound tearing through the air, so fast that he had no time to react!

Thump!!!

The heel of Linlin's high heel hit Marlon's temple with incomparable precision!

Even with the protection of Armament Haki, that terrifying force still broke through like splitting bamboo, embedding deeply into Marlon's skull!

Crack!

Accompanied by the clear sound of bone cracking, the cigar in Marlon's mouth flew out. His eyes bulged due to the surging intracranial pressure, and his burly body was pressed heavily onto the ground by the long leg.

Boom!

A dull loud noise shook the ground violently. With Marlon's body as the center, several cracks several feet deep spread frantically, gravel splashing, smoke billowing.

That burly body embedded in the frozen soil, limbs limp and weak, eyes rolled back, had completely lost consciousness!

Charlotte Linlin stood aside, posture elegant, attitude unruly:

"Next. Hope you can make me use my knife."
