Chapter 277: Quickly Ending the Battle
Boom!!
A surge of red and blue light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.
A powerful shockwave continuously battered the ground, layer after layer being shaved away, as a massive crater over a hundred meters wide gradually took shape.
Emperor Crocodile appeared behind Charlotte Linlin, his enormous black-and-gold Armament Haki–coated fist smashing down viciously toward her head.
Ankylosaurus also rushed to her side, his fist likewise wrapped in Armament Haki as he slammed it into her knee joint.
Rumble!!
Charlotte Linlin was blasted instantly. Her eyes flew wide open, nearly bulging out, the whites showing prominently.
Her head was dented inward from the blow, and her entire body was sent flying uncontrollably.
Her leg had been smashed into a grotesque bend, a terrifying sight.
Her massive body shot like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the earth and sending another violent shockwave sweeping outward.
All the buildings on Ice Island were destroyed, and the island itself sank slightly.
At this moment, blood streamed from the corners of Charlotte Linlin's mouth and nose, making her look utterly horrifying.
"Ah—!"
She roared, letting out an earth-shaking scream.
Rumble!!
That scream actually shattered Emperor Crocodile's Silence Domain. Explosions erupted across the surrounding land, triggered by the piercing cry.
Even Jiang Qize frowned slightly at the soul-infused scream.
Still, Charlotte Linlin truly deserved her future status as one of the Four Emperors. After taking attacks from all three of them, she was still alive. Her physique was beyond monstrous.
"I'll kill you!"
"Napoleon!"
She shrieked as the hat on her head transformed into a gigantic blade, while the sun Prometheus coiled around Napoleon's body.
"Elbaf's Spear · Ikoku!"
She raised the massive sword and slashed toward Jiang Qize, releasing a purple slash several hundred meters long.
Where the terrifying slash passed, the earth split apart, and a black fissure tore across the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Qize and the other two vanished from their spots, evading the strike.
Boom!
Ice Island was cleaved open by the attack, forming a chasm hundreds of meters deep and stretching an immeasurable distance.
Buzz—
The seawater churned violently, surging inward as a tsunami gradually formed.
At that moment, a gigantic molten hand descended from the sky, slamming down toward Charlotte Linlin.
She abruptly looked up. As she saw the molten hand, her Observation Haki instantly covered the entire Ice Island, and she discovered that all of her children had been captured.
"Ah—!"
Rage flooded her mind. Screaming, she swung Napoleon, wreathed in towering flames, toward the molten hand.
"Imperial Sword · Shatter sword!!"
A colossal flaming sword of surging fire shot skyward, carrying a force that seemed to twist space itself as it collided with the molten hand.
Rumble!!
The sky instantly lost its color.
A blazing crimson glow dyed even the distant clouds red, like a mushroom cloud rising from a nuclear explosion, as terrifying heat waves swept across the land.
At that moment, the entire Ice Island shattered, splitting apart from the center.
Seawater poured in, and glaciers melted under the scorching heat.
The molten giant's hand was only halted briefly by the enormous flaming sword before continuing its descent.
Boom!
Charlotte Linlin was smashed straight into the sea by the sky-covering palm.
"Grab those two brats and Charlotte Linlin—we're leaving!"
With Ice Island already sinking, Jiang Qize shouted.
After being slammed into the sea, Charlotte Linlin could no longer maintain her Devil Fruit ability. Zeus and Prometheus had reverted to their elemental forms, and she had already lost consciousness.
