Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Although Charlotte Linlin was almost losing her mind in anger, her Observation Haki still keenly detected an aura no less powerful than Shiki's.

"Get out here!"

"The Great God of Heaven, Shiva!"

Charlotte Linlin controls a creature named Zeus, Holzmi, who attacks all living beings within a hundred meters with indiscriminate lightning.

Under Zeus's attack, the once magnificent palace collapsed, and a figure moved swiftly amidst the lightning strikes.

"break!"

The black figure frantically dodged using the still-standing buildings as cover, while its black blade easily cleaved through the lightning bolts falling from the sky.

"Your swordsmanship and aura are incredibly sharp. You're Hawkeye Mihawk, aren't you?"

"You killed Katakuri!"

Charlotte Lingling seemed to have regained some of her senses at this moment.

Even though Mihawk hadn't revealed himself, she still recognized him based on a few details.

Mihawk, who was dodging the lightning, stopped dodging when he saw this, and a magnificent sword beam rose from the palace ruins, heading straight for Zeus.

Charlotte Linlin had already summoned Zeus back from mid-air when she guessed Mihawk's identity.

"Very good, Newgate! Skeeter! Mihawk!"

"You've ruined my dreams, I'll kill you all!"

An extremely unpleasant, terrifying, and headache-inducing sound came from Charlotte Linlin's mouth.

Cracks appeared on the pillars that still stood around.

However, such attacks had no effect on the three who had already transformed into Seraphim.

Whitebeard raised the Murakumogiri sword in his hand, casually swung it twice, and then the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit condensed at the tip of the blade, slashing through the air.

Rumble!

The two energy waves collided, creating a gale capable of easily blowing a person away.

The next moment, all four of them attacked at the same time!

Shiki flew into the sky and used his abilities to continuously lift up various boulders and smash them down to the ground.

Meanwhile, the strongest, Newgate the Whitebeard, wielded the Murakumogiri and engaged Charlotte Linlin in a close-quarters battle.

Mihawk gripped his black sword and paced around the battlefield, ready to attack Charlotte Linlin at any moment. Although Charlotte Linlin had lost an arm, her strength had not diminished much due to the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

"Mother visits the cannon, three thousand miles away!"

Charlotte Linlin combines the abilities of three special Holmes: Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon.

It created a giant energy aggregate that subtly revealed a feminine characteristic.

From the moment it was created by Charlotte Linlin, it has been following Mihawk.

A casual strike can turn a large number of buildings into ruins.

Even with Mihawk's strength, he couldn't easily fight against him.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, Mihawk led the energy aggregate away from the battle area. Now, only Whitebeard Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, and the one-armed Charlotte Linlin remained in the area.

"It's hard to imagine that you two unruly guys would be turned into fighting machines."

"If you had given your souls to me back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Charlotte Linlin watched with awe, while simultaneously attempting to control the corpses of Whitebeard Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki using her Soul-Soul Fruit powers.

"Lingling, kill me."

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Whitebeard Newgate suddenly uttered an unbelievable statement.

At the same time, his movements became slightly hesitant.

boom!

Charlotte Linlin seized the brief opening, her left arm covered in a thick layer of Armament Haki, and punched Whitebeard Newgate in the chest.

Whitebeard Newgate seemed to accept his fate and did not resist.

A sickening cracking sound rang out, and Hundred Beard's body flew backward like a cannonball.

Shiki the Golden Lion seemed to have no lingering emotions; he simply mechanically controlled the boulder to keep smashing it onto Charlotte Linlin's body.

Charlotte Linlin's formidable defense gave her a chance to catch her breath, and she began to look for an opportunity to shoot down the Golden Lion Shiki, who was flying in the air.

Unfortunately, the power of her Horzemezeus has been extracted, and it can no longer provide her with the ability to fly.

Charlotte Linlin can only move through the sky using her own abilities.

Its movement speed was much slower than that of Shiki the Golden Lion, who flew through the sky.

"Lion's Roar!"

Shiki the Golden Lion manipulated the giant rocks on the ground, forming an enormous lion's head that snapped at Charlotte Linlin in mid-air.

"Shiki, why can't you just die like Whitebeard!"

Charlotte Linlin was furious.

However, in places she couldn't see.

The body of Whitebeard Newgate has changed.

His eyes no longer shone like before; instead, they flashed with a mechanical red light.

"Severe damage detected. Self-destruct procedure initiated."

"Mission in progress, target detected."

The next moment, the body of Whitebeard Newgate, who had been hidden in the ruins, suddenly flew into the sky.

He rushed in before the giant jaws of the lion controlled by the golden lion could close.

"Beep beep beep..."

The self-destruct countdown was going off like crazy when Charlotte Lingling suddenly sensed something that could seriously threaten her life.

"Get out of here!"

Charlotte Linlin grabbed the boulder inside the lion's head with one hand and hurled it at Newgate the Whitebeard, who was charging towards her.

"Beep beep beep... Self-destruct program initiated."

May justice prevail in this world.

boom!!!!!

The enormous lion's head suddenly unleashed countless powerful energy rays.

Then, as if weathered by time, the lion's head instantly turned into tiny specks of dust. The enormous shockwave sent the golden lion Shiki, who had no time to dodge, plunging headfirst into a distant mountain.

The energy body that was chasing Mihawk seemed to sense its own demise.

After letting out a roar of resentment, it helplessly turned into light and shadow.

Mihawk stopped running and turned to sprint towards the direction of the explosion.

The dissipated energy waves were not a fatal threat to a powerful figure like him.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the large, white-bearded body was nowhere to be found.

The only thing left was a corpse that appeared to be severely carbonized.

Click...click...

The standing "corpse" trembled slightly, and then large chunks of skin fell off.

Charlotte Linlin did not actually die after enduring such a horrific explosion.

However, her fate was no different from death.

The metal bomb that Vegapunk added to Whitebeard's body was something he developed on Raleigh's advice. Even though it was small in size, its power was more than a hundred times that of a bomb of the same size.

Shiki the Golden Lion watched as his body flew out of the distant mountains.

Looking at Charlotte Linlin, who was not truly dead yet.

Mihawk and Shiki drew their weapons at the same time.

Whoosh!

Two figures passed by Charlotte Linlin's body.

Mihawk's greatsword struck Charlotte Linlin's neck, while Shiki's twin blades struck Charlotte Linlin's back, the bone clearly visible.

thump.

Charlotte Lingling's body collapsed limply to the ground after losing its support.

Shiki and Mihawk stood still, awaiting further instructions.

Before long, Yixiao, wearing a special gas mask, controlled a piece of land to fly over from the sky.

As I walked, I couldn't help but gasp for breath.

The scene before my eyes was nothing short of hell on earth.

Fortunately, Issho is blind and cannot see the real scene, otherwise he would definitely be so frightened that he would have nightmares and lose his eyesight. Issho, who can only use his Observation Haki to explore his surroundings, has become the best person to finish off the battle.

He could only perceive one percent of the tragic state of the world.

However, the fact that the entire Whole Cake Island was almost completely flattened and riddled with holes made him realize that...

This battle must have been extremely fierce.

"Where is the Seraphim of Whitebeard Newgate?"

Upon landing, Yi Xiao sensed the presence of only two Seraphim and became very curious, even suspecting that the white-bearded Seraphim had betrayed him.

Shiki the Golden Lion said nonchalantly:

"The Seraphim of Newgate betrayed us and deliberately injured Charlotte Linlin. Fortunately, Dr. Vegapunk programmed a self-destruct mechanism into our bodies."

"He and Charlotte Linlin perished together; that explosion just now was the cause."

With a smile, he nodded with a hint of doubt. Regardless, Charlotte Linlin's body was right there.

His mission can be considered complete.

The Navy can now officially declare to the world that yet another Yonko-level pirate has had his head chopped off by the righteous Navy.

After Shiki took Charlotte Linlin's head with a smile, Shiki the Golden Lion and Mihawk the Hawkeye silently lifted Charlotte Linlin's body.

This body will still be of great use to Vegapunk. Perhaps soon, a Seraph combat robot named Charlotte Linlin will appear in the Navy's battle lineup.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Red-Haired Pirates and their great pirate crew seized a large amount of scarce supplies.

They returned to Kilkil Island with various types of ammunition and other supplies.

This victory has boosted the confidence of the previously unconfident pirate fleet, and some have even developed a blind optimism that the Navy is nothing special.

The Red-Haired Pirates, however, returned to Kilgil Island and then secluded themselves there.

Even when distributing supplies, they simply sent Lucky Roux to collect them on behalf of Shanks.

On the Red Fox, everyone, from Shanks to Beckman and Yasopp, had a solemn expression.

Although they achieved their strategic objectives this time, it fell far short of their original operational plan.

While naval supplies are important, they are not as crucial for an admiral-level combatant.

The fact that they couldn't find Douglas Barrett was the most puzzling thing for them.

Even in the middle of the night, when they searched the entire island for Barrett, they couldn't find him.

Finally, they eliminated a group of navy personnel and left the island guarded by the navy with their supplies.

Borsalino, who arrived late, and Barrett, who appeared out of nowhere, led their fleet in a brutal pursuit of several greedy pirate ships.

They only stopped after sinking three pirate ships.

"Barrett must have been somewhere on the island last night, but he was so patient!"

Shanks' eyes turned somewhat cold.

If they can't kill Barrett even like this, then the senior officers in the Navy will only become more and more cautious in the future.

Beckman sighed and said:

"There's nothing we can do. The Navy must have guessed what we were thinking, which is why Borsalino arrived so quickly."

Shanks said, somewhat incredulously:

"That's Barrett, the guy who doesn't even listen to Captain Roger. How could he possibly obey a navy order and stay cowardly on the island?"

Shanks was genuinely puzzled.

Because in his mind, Douglas Barrett was a battle maniac.

Whenever it comes to fighting, he's always the first to rush in, even when they fought the Whitebeard Pirates or the Golden Lion Pirates.

Barrett was always the first to rush in.

But now he can act cowardly because of the Navy's orders, which is really not like Barrett's style.

Yasopp had no contact with Barrett, so his focus differed from Shanks'.

He said in a muffled voice:

"Captain, naval soldiers are on a completely different level from us."

"On the battlefield, disorganized pirates can only be slaughtered by one side. Even when we intervened to increase the Navy's casualties, the Navy still withstood our pressure."

Shanks was actually quite helpless with this kind of navy.

He knew perfectly well that pirates were hopeless and incompetent.

But he did not expect that even such a meticulously planned operation could still turn the tide once the navy entered combat mode.

When the Navy is in combat formation, it's a massacre against the disorganized pirates.

"The navy is indeed formidable; we all know that."

"However, the navy's advantage lies in their superior weaponry and training, while our advantage lies in our understanding of the new world."

"In the coming period, we will not only train our pirate crew, but also distribute them to various parts of the New World to resist the Navy's attacks by constantly harassing the Navy's supply lines."

After Shanks shared his idea, the crew members around him all agreed.

Now that we know there are problems with the navy's supplies, we should extend the navy's supply lines as much as possible.

These islands, which were originally very important, have become dispensable.

If the navy wants to occupy it, then let them occupy it to their heart's content.

In any case, the navy needs to station personnel on these islands to maintain control over them.

The next thing the Red-Haired Pirates need to do is train their crew members while...

They launched an attack on the naval warships transporting supplies.

Blub Blub... Blub Blub...

After a series of rapid Den Den Mushi rings, Shanks left the ship's conference room and returned to his captain's office to answer the phone.

Only a few words came through the Den Den Mushi, but Shanks' expression changed drastically.

"Red-haired, the Big Mom Pirates have been wiped out by the Navy, and Charlotte Linlin has died at the hands of the Navy."

"From now on, the navy's offensive focus will shift to your side, so move away as soon as possible."

Shanks, who had just hung up the Den Den Mushi, had a look of fear in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, before they had achieved sufficiently significant results,
