"Tenman Daijizai Tenjin!"
Charlotte Linlin, who was riding a hundred-meter-wide fire cloud, cackled as she held up a pitch-black thunder cloud that radiated an endless aura of destruction with her right hand. She then unleashed torrents of massive, dragon-like lightning bolts on Rorschach, who was standing below.
Because Rorschach had crippled Cracker, sent Oven flying, and killed over a dozen of her children, Charlotte Linlin's hatred for Rorschach had reached an extreme level.
If Garp hadn't been relentlessly fighting her, she would have already charged down and killed Rorschach.
And now, with Garp being held back by King, Charlotte Linlin had finally found a golden opportunity.
With the activation of Tenman Daijizai Tenjin, Zeus, the thunder cloud Homie that she had given a soul to, instantly poured out all of its lightning power.
Streaks of lightning, as thick as ancient trees, came crashing down from the air with a thunderous roar, striking the Marine who seemed to have been completely overwhelmed by the aura that Charlotte Linlin had unleashed.
"No! Get out of the way! Rorschach!"
Onigumo, Gion, and the others watched with wide, tear-filled eyes, shouting in a hoarse voice.
The Marine soldiers around them also had pale faces. They all watched as Rorschach's muscular body was engulfed by endless, destructive lightning.
"No! Rear Admiral Rorschach!"
The Marine soldiers whom Rorschach had saved earlier were all stunned, and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Why didn't that kid dodge?!" Gion stared blankly as streaks of thick lightning turned the area for several hundred meters around where Rorschach was standing into a chaotic, shattered wasteland.
The ground was continuously being shattered by the lightning. The hard bedrock burst apart, and before it could even turn into dust and fly out, it was slammed even deeper into the ground by the lightning that followed.
And Rorschach, who was standing in the middle of it all, had his figure completely engulfed.
Under that terrifying torrent of energy, even Observation Haki couldn't precisely sense Rorschach's presence.
"Hmph! Good riddance! You arrogant Marine brat, do you really think no one can deal with you?" Looking at Rorschach, who was completely swallowed by the lightning, King sneered. He flapped his wings and dodged Garp's attack.
Not long ago, Kaido had received a message from Doflamingo saying that Rorschach was in the Arabasta Kingdom.
So, the excited Kaido left the New World overnight and rushed to Arabasta at the fastest speed.
King, Queen, and the others, who were waiting in Wano Country, had all assumed that Kaido would easily bring Rorschach, the person he had always been interested in, back to Wano Country.
But to their surprise, powerful fighters like Kizaru and Dragon had appeared in that broken place, Arabasta.
Kaido returned with his tail between his legs. Not only did he make a pointless trip, but he also had a lot of pent-up anger.
It was probably for this reason that Kaido had so readily agreed to Shiki's request to declare war on the Marines.
Furthermore, the trouble that had happened to Jack was, in the end, also because of Rorschach.
If Jack hadn't been sent to Paradise to capture Rorschach, he wouldn't have gotten into a fight with Fish-Man Island and had his limbs broken by Jinbe, turning him into the miserable, limbless person he was today.
And now, he had even killed Who's-Who.
In short, in King's heart, Rorschach was no longer worthy of being his companion.
"Rorschach!"
Gion gritted her teeth, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
It was all her fault. It was her fault for not holding back King, which resulted in King blocking Garp and giving Charlotte Linlin the perfect opportunity to attack Rorschach.
As a dignified Admiral candidate in the Marines, her strength was still too weak.
"Charlotte Linlin!"
The guilt-ridden Gion used Moonwalk to leap into the air and charged at the cackling Charlotte Linlin with her sword.
Looking at Rorschach, who had been swallowed by the lightning, the pirates of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates couldn't help but let out joyous cheers.
"He's dead! That monster Marine brat is finally dead!"
"Good riddance! How dare he hurt our family. On this sea, no one doesn't know what happens to those who attack a member of the Charlotte Family."
"Get out of my way!"
Garp was furious. His body swelled up slightly. Under King's horrified gaze, streaks of black and red lightning burst from the surface of his clenched fist. His body shot forward a hundred meters. With a terrifying speed of several times the speed of sound, he appeared in the air in front of King and punched him in the chest.
"As long as the flame on the back of my head is burning, my defense is impenetrable... Gah!"
King coughed up blood. His chest, as if it had been hit by Kaido's spiked club, had a visible dent in it. His massive body was sent plummeting by Garp's punch, which had just shot into the air. He crashed into the ground a hundred meters deep, shattering the thick layers of rock and dirt.
"You fat hag! If you dare to hurt my disciple, I'll kill your sons!"
"Mamamamama, you can't do that with me here!"
Charlotte Linlin sliced away the charging Gion with her sword and was about to turn and face the charging Garp.
But at that moment, from the bottom of the crater, which was hundreds of meters deep under the gradually subsiding storm of lightning, a sound of satisfaction and contentment suddenly came.
This abrupt sound caused the charging Garp, the retreating reinforcements, the turning Charlotte Linlin, and the countless pirates and Marines around them to all freeze.
"Zzzzzzz..."
The static sound of electricity filled the air. In the deep crater, a flash of lightning appeared, and a figure teleported to the edge of the crater. He spread his arms as if stretching, and the bones in his body let out a series of cracking sounds.
Streaks of finger-wide lightning flowed across Rorschach's body.
The lightning flowed across his muscular body, intertwining into an exquisite pattern. With the deep blue Haki armor, it formed a blue and white armor that covered Rorschach's entire body.
At this moment, the aura he was giving off was significantly more full than before.
When Rorschach and the Kirin had landed on G1 island earlier, he was not in his peak condition.
One must remember that he had flown with a ship full of people from Marineford, controlling the airflow and spending most of the day just to get here.
Although he had eaten a lot of food along the way, his stamina was still severely depleted.
It was just that the powerful regenerative and endurance abilities of the Kirin fruit prevented him from having his strength immediately weakened too much, like an ordinary person.
But it was foreseeable that if he were to have another long, high-intensity battle, even with his Mythical Zoan ability, Rorschach would eventually give out.
After all, they were in the middle of a battle, and he had no time or food to recover his stamina.
But now...
Rorschach looked at Charlotte Linlin, who was staring at him in a daze. A brilliant smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Thank you, Linlin. Thanks for the recharge. I feel great now. Oh, you've worked so hard. Now, you can stop pretending. Join us Marines and take down these foolish pirates!"
"Huh?" Garp was stunned. A huge question mark appeared on his forehead. He looked at Rorschach in a daze. "Huh? Is Charlotte Linlin on our side?"
Rorschach blatantly winked at Garp. "Of course she is, Vice Admiral Garp, don't you remember? This was all discussed with Linlin by Fleet Admiral Sengoku a long time ago. As long as Linlin pretends to be unaware, she can form a pirate alliance with Shiki and Kaido and come to attack G1. In return, we Marines will do everything we can to help the Big Mom Pirates get rid of the Beast Pirates. Afterward, the territory of the Beast Pirates will be handed over to Linlin to manage. This is a win-win cooperation where the Marines eliminate a Four Emperor's crew and Linlin gets a new territory."
Onigumo, Gion, and the others looked at each other. They suddenly dropped their fight with the Big Mom Pirates and charged toward the Beast Pirates' army of gifters.
As they sliced through the gifters like they were nothing, they shouted loudly.
"That's right! Brothers of the Big Mom Pirates, join us in taking down the Beast Pirates. After Kaido is dead, the territory of the New World will be yours!"
"Charge! Brothers of the Charlotte Family!"
The people of the Big Mom Pirates were stunned. They looked at the retreating Marines, and then at each other, not knowing what to do.
A pirate shouted an angry question: "Don't kid around! You bastard Marines! That Marine brat killed more than a dozen of Mama's children, and Lord Cracker..."
"I didn't kill Cracker." Rorschach laughed loudly. "He only lost an arm. As for those weak Charlotte Family members, they were just expendable trash that Mama uses to make up for lost soul lifespan. See? I've been easy on you guys from the Big Mom Pirates. But Who's-Who and Ulti of the Beast Pirates' Tobiroppo are both dead. Even Jack the Drought had his limbs cut off by me."
"Think about it! After Admiral Akainu kills Kaido, how many people will the Beast Pirates have left? Can they withstand the powerful Big Mom Pirates? What are you waiting for? Counterattack! Brothers of the Charlotte Family!"
Seeing that the dazed Charlotte Linlin was now awake and was about to open her mouth to scold him, a playful look flashed in Rorschach's eyes. He suddenly raised his voice and pointed his right hand at the thunder cloud, Zeus, which was floating in the sky. He shouted:
"Zeus! Hurry and carry out Mama's orders! Kill the pirates of the Beast Pirates!"
"You bastard Marine brat, what are you..." The furious Charlotte Linlin didn't get to finish her sentence. The thunder cloud, Zeus, above her head suddenly went berserk. It gathered thick bolts of lightning and slammed them down on the pirates of the Beast Pirates within a radius of a few thousand meters.
In just an instant, thousands of lightning bolts filled the dark sky above G1 island. They fell like a spiderweb, striking the pirates of the Beast Pirates.
In an instant, three or four thousand people were struck by the terrifying lightning, and their bodies were scorched black. They fell to the ground without a sound.
At this, the chaotic battlefield of G1 island came to a sudden, brief halt.
The pirates in the midst of the chaos all looked over in confusion, looking at Charlotte Linlin, who was flying in the sky, and at the pirates of the Big Mom Pirates.
The pirates of the Beast Pirates were so angry that their faces turned red. They glared at the pirates of the Big Mom Pirates, who had just been fighting alongside them, with their eyes wide with hatred.
"You bastards! You treacherous beasts! How dare you... how dare you conspire with the Marines in private?! You all deserve to die a thousand times over!"
Oven and Daifuku were also dumbfounded. They all looked up at their mother.
"Mama! Is this true?! Are we with the Marines..."
Their shouts were drowned out by the continuous roar of the thunderstorm.
This sudden turn of events caused the lower-ranking members of the Big Mom Pirates, who had not believed Rorschach's words at all before, to turn their swords and attack the Beast Pirates next to them.
Yes, a large number of the lower-ranking, subordinate pirate crews directly attacked the pirates of the Beast Pirates.
Some of them even joined the Marines and fiercely attacked the Beast Pirates.
Didn't they see Mama's soul Homie, Zeus, attack the Beast Pirates?
The people of the Big Mom Pirates all knew that their mother, Charlotte Linlin, had three of the most powerful soul Homies: Prometheus the fire cloud, Zeus the thunder cloud, and Napoleon the large sword.
They were a symbol of Mama's power.
Whenever the thunder and fire appeared together, it meant that Mama was angry.
And now, it was clear that Mama had begun to attack the Beast Pirates.
Although it seemed a little unbelievable, the facts spoke for themselves.
Seeing was believing, and they had no choice but to believe it.
As for the dozen or so Charlotte Family members who were killed by Rorschach, just as Rorschach had said, Mama had a large number of children, and many of them had died after angering Mama and having their soul lifespan directly taken away.
If killing a dozen weak children could help the Big Mom Pirates take over the Beast Pirates' large territory and make the future of the New World belong to the Big Mom Pirates, then it was a bargain.
At the same time, the Beast Pirates' army, which had thousands of pirates killed by Zeus in an instant, also became enraged and attacked the pirates of the Big Mom Pirates next to them.
As pirates, while they loved to stab others in the back, it didn't mean they liked others to stab them in the back.
When they saw Charlotte Linlin, who was flying in the sky, openly shooting lightning at them, how could they stand for that?
These damned Big Mom Pirates! Their boss, Kaido, should never have trusted that fat hag, Charlotte Linlin!
Now, Lord Who's-Who and Lord Ulti were both dead. This was all a conspiracy by the Big Mom Pirates.
"Kill! Kill all the people from the Big Mom Pirates!"
"Kill! Take down the Beast Pirates. The New World belongs to us, the Big Mom Pirates!"
The battlefield was already dim, and now it was even more chaotic.
"Charge! Allies of the Charlotte Family! We Marines will absolutely keep our promise and hand over the territory of the Beast Pirates for you to manage!"
Onigumo, Gion, and other Marine officers shouted with all their might as they charged at the Beast Pirates, while continuously stabbing the Big Mom Pirates who came near them.
The Big Mom Pirates who were stabbed by them all fell to the ground with a blank look on their faces. They died without ever understanding what was going on.
Didn't we agree that we were allies?
Why did you stab me in the heart with your sword?
In short, if the previous battlefield was a chaotic scene of over a hundred thousand pirates from four different crews surrounding and killing the Marines.
Then now, it was even more chaotic.
The Marines were killing indiscriminately, pirates were killing Marines, and pirates were killing other pirates.
The pirates of the Wang Zhi Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates, in this state of chaos, could not stay out of it and became filled with suspicion toward their comrades.
No one knew if their teammates fighting alongside them were also traitors who had conspired with the Marines.
On Prometheus, Charlotte Linlin's mouth was twisted in anger.
She trembled and pointed a finger at Zeus, who was still shooting lightning, and roared, "Zeus! How dare you betray me?"
"Mama, I... I didn't... I couldn't control myself." Zeus was in tears. He was crying, but he also shot out a few hundred more lightning bolts, electrocuting a few hundred pirates who weren't from the Big Mom Pirates, making the battlefield even more chaotic.
He was electrocuting his own people, but he was also looking at Rorschach, who was smiling brilliantly below, with a look of terror.
"He's a devil! That Marine brat is a devil! He's the one controlling me!"
"Enough! I don't want to hear your excuses!" Charlotte Linlin reached out with her large hand and grabbed at the terrified Zeus. "I'm taking back your soul now, Zeus! Your life is being taken back!"
"No! Don't! Mama! Don't kill me! I didn't do it!" Zeus was terrified to the extreme.
He wanted to retreat, but the pressure of her soul control prevented him from escaping from Charlotte Linlin's hand.
He was, in fact, a special soul life form that Charlotte Linlin had created by combining a small part of her own soul with a thunder cloud.
Although he was a part of Charlotte Linlin's soul, he had his own consciousness and could experience joy, anger, and sadness. So he was also very afraid of dying.
Watching Charlotte Linlin reach out to grab Zeus, Rorschach, who had been standing still below, suddenly reached up and grabbed at the sky with his large hand.
"Sorry, you can't destroy this thunder cloud, Charlotte Linlin. I still have a use for it."
"500 Million Volts Advanced Armament! Thunder Tribulation!"
A violent, surging force of lightning suddenly shot out from Rorschach's body. It turned into a pillar of thunder, over ten meters thick, that went straight up into the sky and shot toward Charlotte Linlin overhead.
The moment this terrifying pillar of thunder shot out, Zeus, the thunder cloud that was floating above Charlotte Linlin's head, trembled. The lightning inside him, as if it had been pulled, all shot out at once, aiming at Charlotte Linlin's shocked face.
Zeus from above, and Rorschach from below. The two massive pillars of thunder, which went straight up and down, instantly lit up the entire G1 and slammed into Charlotte Linlin's huge body in the middle.
"Rumble!"
With a thunderous roar, Charlotte Linlin let out a scream. Her incredibly thick Armament Haki was briefly pierced by the lightning that was attacking her from both sides, and it shot into her body, causing her to spit out blood from the impact.
She, the Iron Balloon, was actually having her defense broken by a Marine Rear Admiral.
"Well done, Rorschach!"
Garp laughed loudly. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his body shot up. He slammed his fist into the right side of the screaming Charlotte Linlin's face.
"Bang!"
The terrifying force caused Charlotte Linlin's massive body to flip in the air like a huge windmill. She spun over a dozen times in the air, flew back a few hundred meters, and slammed into the ground.
The huge tremor and explosion over there caused the chaotic battlefield to once again fall into a brief silence.
When the pirates of the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates saw what had happened, they were all dumbfounded again.
"Hahahaha, you got what was coming to you, Big Mom! You were betrayed by the Marines, who also don't keep their promises. You deserve it!" The pirates of the Beast Pirates laughed and mocked.
"No, that's not right! This is a conspiracy! This is a conspiracy by the Marines! Mama didn't conspire with the Marines at all! You damned Marines! How dare you trick us!" Oven was trembling with rage.
"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! We Marines and the Big Mom Pirates are absolutely allies! Hurry and get rid of those bastards from the Beast Pirates and take their territory! Make Mama the Pirate King!"
Gion shouted. He pulled his long sword out of the heart of a Big Mom Pirate, and then with a "squish," he stabbed it into the chest of another Big Mom Pirate who was standing next to him.
"Cough, cough, stop shouting, Gion. Everyone's already seen it." Onigumo coughed and looked at Oven, Daifuku, and the others, who were trembling with anger, with a slightly red face.
"My apologies. I got too into it." Gion smiled sheepishly and pulled his sword out of the pirate's chest.
