"Are you questioning this old hag?" Charlotte Linlin's eyes flashed with fierceness, and she turned to glare at Bullet.
Bullet's face was grim, and he said nothing more.
Charlotte Linlin is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, controlling the massive Big Mom Pirates. Within her sphere of influence, even the Navy has to back off.
Although she was completely suppressed when facing Ye Chen, it couldn't be denied that Charlotte Linlin herself possessed immense power.
Moreover, they currently needed Charlotte Linlin's strength; it wasn't the time for internal strife.
He endured it.
Ye Chen watched their argument with interest, neither stopping nor attacking, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He thought it was simply laughable that they still intended to deal with him with this level of combined strength.
Slifer the Sky Dragon in the sky suddenly spun, appearing behind Ye Chen. Its eyes stared at the opposite side, flickering with an extremely ferocious and terrifying glow.
"Now's the time!"
Scar seized this brief moment, quickly retreating into the group of the Eight Kings of the Underworld and Charlotte Linlin. He suddenly gasped for a few breaths and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. The 28 wounds on his body were bleeding continuously. His condition was extremely poor.
"Scar!" Bullet's eyes showed a hint of worry, and he stepped forward to help Scar.
"Don't worry, the most crucial issue now is to keep Ye Chen here!" Scar said in a low voice, his eyes chillingly directed at the opposite side, filled with terrifying killing intent.
"Exactly, you're right. The most crucial issue now is to keep Ye Chen here." After a moment of silence, Bullet said softly. He turned around, and dark Armament Haki once again spread over his body. He stared solemnly at Ye Chen opposite him.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
"Charlotte Linlin, wasn't the lesson I gave you last time enough? You actually dare to appear before me again, and with these rats who can't see the light of day? You've really broadened my horizons." Ye Chen looked directly at Charlotte Linlin.
As for the Eight Kings of the Underworld, they were completely ignored by Ye Chen, as if only Charlotte Linlin was worthy of his attention in this arena. This blatant disregard made all the Eight Kings of the Underworld look ugly, their fists clenched, their eyes coldly staring at Ye Chen.
If the situation didn't forbid it, they would have charged forward at this very moment.
As beings second only to the Four Emperors, even the Four Emperors themselves had to show them courtesy,
When had they ever suffered such contempt?
"As long as I can kill you, it's the same no matter who I'm with!" Charlotte Linlin's eyes were filled with malice. "Today is the day you fall. As for the Emperor's Arrival Pirate Group, once they lose their leader, there will be plenty who will kick them while they're down."
She believed that if Ye Chen fell here today, Kaido and the World Government would definitely not let Esdeath and the others go.
Ye Chen's face was calm. "You want to kill me? With this ragtag bunch?"
Ye Chen suddenly burst into laughter, his body quickly retreating. With a light turn, he gracefully landed on the Slifer the Sky Dragon.
"I wonder... can this ragtag bunch of yours withstand a single move from me?"
Ye Chen slowly extended his hand. It was a slender hand, like jade, which didn't seem to possess any power. But the moment Ye Chen extended his hand, Charlotte Linlin seemed to recall something unbearable, and her face turned ugly.
"Quickly scatter... don't be directly hit by that force!" Charlotte Linlin had just warned, her indifferent voice mixed with terrifying power, as she charged forward.
"Almighty Push!"
An endless terrifying force suddenly erupted from that slender palm, rushing forward.
The Flame King let out a turbid breath, clenching his fists. Terrifying flames wrapped around his body as he roared.
"Burning Fist!"
Burning Fist was the Flame King's signature move for dominating the seas. It was said that with a full-power punch, he could burn an entire mountain to ashes.
The eruption of the flame vortex not only covered an extremely wide area, but its destructive power was also extreme.
The flame vortex, centered on the Flame King's fist, lunged forward like a high-pressure flamethrower, scorching hot and fierce. Even the air twisted from the heat, and it seemed as if space itself was being twisted by the burning. The terrifying flames directly collided with the repulsion wave, pausing for just a moment before the flames were pushed towards several people.
"No, the force is too great!" The Flame King's voice was heavy. He gritted his teeth and pushed the flames from his hands, making them even hotter, but it was useless.
The powerful repulsion seemed to directly push his flames away, preventing them from advancing further.
Suddenly, the power of Almighty Push intensified.
The flames were repelled into the air in all directions, and the repulsion wave rushed towards the few people.
"I'll take the next one!"
The Alligator King's eyes were cold. The Devil Fruit he had eaten was an ancient zoan-type Alligator-Alligator Fruit, allowing him to transform into an incredibly powerful alligator.
Among all the people present, he was the only one who could contend with the Body King purely with his physical body.
However, compared to the Body King's powerful martial arts, when he transformed into a giant alligator, his body's defensive power was even more incredible. Even an Admiral-level existence would have to expend considerable effort to break through his defense.
He walked a similar path to Kaido, but compared to Kaido, his defense was even thicker.
The moment the flames collapsed, the Alligator King
let out a roar.
"Flame King, leave the rest to me!" The Flame King quickly retreated, scattering his flames. The Alligator King stepped forward, his body rapidly expanding. The awakened ability of his Alligator-Alligator Fruit allowed his 960-meter body to instantly transform into a hundred meters, standing before the few people like a giant wall.
A terrifying force impacted his scales. Even with his prior mental preparation, the Alligator King gasped in surprise.
The immensity of this power exceeded his imagination. He encircled his body, protecting the few people, and was pushed into the distance by this force, crushing countless trees in his path.
"He didn't use his full power directly? Was it just a test?!" Bullet mumbled to himself, seeing the repulsion barrier in front of him, whose power was completely different from before. He let out a bitter laugh.
"This power is indeed strong, but it also needs time to brew. As for how long, it's unknown. But once it uses this move, there will be a certain window of opportunity, and that's when we strike." Charlotte Linlin's gaze was solemn. The characteristics of Almighty Push were indeed somewhat heaven-defying. Her Thunder Flame Storm had been broken by Ye Chen with a single move before.
Therefore, she had been constantly paying attention to Ye Chen's use of his abilities from the very beginning.
She finally discovered that after Ye Chen used the repulsion barrier, he wouldn't use repulsion for other attacks but would resist in a different way.
Ye Chen watched as the few people were repelled away, and he chuckled. He didn't believe that group of people would be dealt with so easily. He patted Slifer the Sky Dragon beneath him.
"Follow them!"
