"Using pain as a distraction?"
Hancock sneered coldly. "I want to see how many times you can distract yourself."
How dare they embarrass her in front of Ian!
This strike was supposed to wipe out all the Charlotte family officers except for Charlotte Linlin, who would be left for Ian to deal with!
"Wake Cracker up!"
Katakuri's gaze was extremely serious. If he hadn't foreseen the future and used his awakened ability in time, everyone would probably have been wiped out by now.
"We can't let this woman run wild anymore, Mom!"
Katakuri roared.
"You brat!! Enough already!!"
A huge sword blade descended through the air—"Emperor Sword – Poro Poro Slash!"
The massive blade was wrapped in overwhelming dual-colored haki.
Driven by Charlotte Linlin's terrifying physical strength, this strike could easily cut through mountains and split islands!
But Hancock showed not a trace of fear.
Even though she clearly knew she was unlikely to block this attack.
Because.
A shadow suddenly flickered right in front of Hancock, a blazing sword of fire raised high.
Boom!!
The air trembled, and the entire Beehive Island shook.
As usual, the clouds in the sky were instantly split in two by an invisible force, retreating to both sides.
"Brat!!"
Aunt Linlin roared furiously.
"Your opponent is me, Aunt Linlin."
Ian smiled calmly.
King versus King, General versus General—this was a tradition in the seas' history.
Aunt Linlin, don't even think about breaking the rules.
"Ian!!"
Hancock's body twisted like a snake, her hands pressed to her face, cheeks flushed red. "I knew that no matter what danger I faced, you'd come to save me!"
"..."
Aunt Linlin's face darkened deeply.
Of course, it wasn't because of Hancock's words.
"Go ahead, Hancock, but try not to kill anyone if possible."
Ian stretched his neck; golden divine flames started burning over him. His broad wings spread wide—the golden heavenly god had descended here.
Aunt Linlin's strength was overwhelming. If even physical strength fell behind, there'd be no chance of winning.
So, it was time to give it everything.
"Mm!!"
Hancock nodded heavily, stepping on a giant serpent as she quickly bypassed Charlotte Linlin and headed toward the Charlotte family officers behind her.
Ian was absolutely unbeatable. Now all she needed to do was turn everyone else to stone.
"Ow! That hurts!"
Cracker suddenly woke up.
In front of him was Perospero, wildly slapping him.
Cracker's face twisted in pain. He was so afraid of pain he was literally awakened by it.
"No time to explain, Cracker!"
Perespero grabbed Cracker off the ground and pointed toward Hancock, who was rapidly approaching on a giant serpent.
"You go deal with that woman!"
"Huh? Me?"
Cracker was still a bit confused.
But there was no time to think — Hancock was already flying toward them.
"Fragrant Kick!"
At the same time, the others had also rushed into the battle.
"Let me crush you all!"
Jack, transformed into a massive mammoth, glared fiercely and charged straight at the surviving Charlotte family officers.
"Don't think you can run wild! I'll be your opponent!!"
The third son of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Daifuku, shouted angrily.
He rubbed his hands on his stomach, just like the legendary Aladdin's magic lamp, as a swirl of smoke emerged from his belly, forming a colossal genie over ten meters tall.
The genie swung its massive blade mercilessly toward Jack.
Jack sneered, his forehead covered with Armament Haki. He charged headfirst at the blade.
His forehead was pitch black, but beyond the darkness, invisible ripples of energy spread out — the highest level of Armament Haki!
Boom!!
With a thunderous sound, the genie was pushed back step by step, even pierced through the chest by Jack's ivory tusks, then exploded into a cloud of mist.
But—
"Hmm?"
Jack paused slightly.
The mist began to gather again, reforming into the shape of the genie.
Is it a power similar to elementalization?
"Hahaha!"
Daifuku looked at the stunned Jack and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "My genie is immortal!"
"Is that so?"
Jack sneered coldly and shrank his body, transforming into a Human-Beast Form. "But as long as I kill you, it's over, right?"
Slash!!
He charged forward like a speeding locomotive, astonishingly fast.
"Don't even think about it!!"
Daifuku shouted loudly.
The genie under his control swung a massive blade again, but Jack simply leapt into the air.
"Fishman Karate Secret Technique — Wuse Kan!"
Jack threw a punch.
Using the moisture gathered in his palm, he unleashed a powerful shockwave, mixed with his Armament Haki.
The genie's giant blade trembled midair but couldn't fall even a fraction, frozen rigidly in place!
Finally, the genie's body was shattered by the penetrating shockwave and turned into thick smoke.
Daifuku's eyes widened as Jack descended towards him.
"Only a fool would dare fight Brother Ian! You're on a dead end!"
"Daifuku!!"
Charlotte Oven, radiating intense heat, looked worried as Daifuku was attacked.
But before he could react, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck right in front of him.
"..."
Oven's eyes suddenly widened, and instinctively he swung his right fist. "Fist of High Heat!"
He threw a blazing punch.
But what met him was even hotter.
"Fool."
Enel smiled cruelly. "One Hundred Million Volts — God's Judgment!"
His right arm turned into lightning and swung forward. The massive pillar of thunder instantly engulfed Oven.
"Oven!!"
Perospero's face changed dramatically.
"A Logia user! The Rumble-Rumble Fruit??"
What the hell is Ian up to?
Even among Logia users, who are considered the strongest Devil Fruit wielders, Rumble Rumble Fruit users are considered the strongest. Is he really under Ian's command?
"Hehehehe! Still got time to look around?"
Heavy footsteps landed right in front of him.
Perospero suddenly looked up.
"Hehehehe! Golden Splash!!"
Sorem laughed heartily as golden tendrils erupted, transforming into countless tentacles that surged toward Perospero.
Perospero's expression shifted slightly.
"Candy Wave!!"
As a Candy Fruit user, Perospero instantly unleashed countless syrup streams, forming a golden tsunami that clashed with the golden tentacles.
The two powers collided and, at that moment, surprisingly reached a stalemate.
But then—
"Elbas's Siege Hammer!!"
A golden heavy hammer crashed down with thunderous force.
It directly shattered the candy tsunami and fell toward Perospero, whose eyes widened in terror.
"Spiderweb Bind."
Black Maria, now in her beast form, shot webs from the mouth on her belly, instantly binding the long-necked woman standing before her.
Before the woman named Akimeg could even swing her blade to tear through the webs, Maria's massive fiery hammer had already crashed down.
"It's over."
Law calmly stood inside his ROOM space.
"Slaughterhouse."
With a casual swing of his blade, the Homies soldiers who dared to enter this area, along with the minor officers of the Charlotte family, were all cut into pieces.
Being unknown had its advantages.
Law thought to himself. There were no particularly powerful officers coming to face him, and among so many opponents, none wielded Haki.
At that moment, another group charged forward.
"Fish-Man Karate Secret Technique — Oni Tile Straight Fist!"
Jinbe threw a single punch, sending a group of Charlotte family officers flying through the air.
"Hahaha! Follow Big Brother Jinbe's lead! You guys all go to hell!!"
A gigantic triceratops charged wildly.
"Diamond Destruction Fist!!"
A huge gorilla leapt up and smashed its fist down like a meteor.
The ground shattered, and a group of enemies were sent flying skyward.
Flock laughed wildly.
Alongside him were the giant troops led by Dalton and others.
The battle, just as it had begun, was already showing a one-sided trend.
Within just a few breaths, the Charlotte family had completely fallen into a state of collapse.
"Damn it!!"
Aunt Linlin nearly screamed in rage.
She knew that with such a vast difference in troop strength, her sons and daughters might fall behind, but this was overwhelmingly one-sided!
Ian smiled.
"Aunt Linlin, you don't really think that just because you're called an emperor too, you can stand on equal footing with me, do you?"
Even among emperors, there are differences.
