Chapter 316 Charlotte's Future
"Mama is defeated…"
Comport repeated Katakuri's words blankly.
"Yes, Mama is defeated."
Katakuri said expressionlessly, looking at Charlotte Linlin in the deep pit in the distance. However, his right hand, gripping Earth Dragon with veins bulging, showed that Katakuri's mood was not as calm as he appeared.
Battles between the Strongest are like this. Once momentum is crushed in a head-on confrontation and the opponent seizes an Opportunity, the situation will deteriorate like an avalanche, leaving little chance for a Counterattack.
If she were facing other Enemies, like those slightly weaker but with numerical Advantage, Charlotte Linlin could still regain the Advantage by relying on the fault tolerance provided by her Monster-like Physique, even if she was caught off guard and the opponent seized an Opportunity.
But her current Opponent is not a group of Opponents slightly weaker than her, but Nicholas, who is at the same level as her, or even stronger.
Without the extremely high fault tolerance brought by her Talent, Iron Balloon, and with her combat experience not being particularly rich, once Charlotte Linlin is caught and almost knocked down, it's basically impossible for her to get back up.
After all, in a Battle, Nicholas won't give you the Opportunity to do sit-ups.
Now, looking at the silent Charlotte Linlin in the deep pit, and Perospero beside her, who was panicking and losing his mind... Nicholas's Target was clear.
He raised his Long Sword. Armament Haki quickly wrapped around the Blade, and black-purple Electric Arcs continuously crackled around the Blade.
The muscles in his Arm suddenly swelled, and he was clearly using Life Return to increase his Power.
Red Light flickered in Nicholas's Eyes as he locked onto Charlotte Linlin, focusing all his Power on the Arm holding the Sword. At the same time, the Lightning in the Sky seemed to be drawn in, continuously converging towards the Long Sword in Nicholas's hand.
Charlotte Linlin, locked on by Nicholas's Aura, seemed to sense the Crisis. Her upturned eyes, which had rolled back due to the heavy damage and loss of Consciousness, slowly returned to normal. As her Pupils returned to their proper position, Charlotte Linlin's Consciousness seemed to recover as well.
"Aaaah!!!" Feeling the severe pain from her Body, Charlotte Linlin let out a painful howl. After sensing the Sense of Crisis brought by Nicholas, she struggled to stand up again.
At the same time, the muscles around the Wound where Nicholas's Slash had cut deep enough to see her Internal Organs were constantly wriggling, seemingly trying to repair her severely injured Body.
Seeing Charlotte Linlin regain Consciousness, an excited expression appeared on Perospero's Face.
Clearly, although Charlotte Linlin was seriously injured, she was not dead. As long as Charlotte Linlin was alive, the Charlotte Family and the Big Mom Pirates would not decline!
Seeing the gruesome Wound on Charlotte Linlin's Body, Perospero immediately gripped his Candy cane and suddenly drew a circle on the Ground beside him.
Along with Perospero's Action, a Candy Mirror made of Syrup, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
"Brulee!" The moment the Mirror formed, Perospero shouted loudly into the Mirror.
In the Mirror World, Brulee suddenly heard Perospero's Sound and hadn't even reacted yet, but quickly saw a Candy Mirror over ten meters tall suddenly appearing not far away, as well as Perospero appearing outside the Mirror, and the miserable Charlotte Linlin.
Brulee quickly ran over. Soon, Brulee's witch-like Face appeared in the Candy Mirror in front of Perospero.
"Older Brother Perospero, what happened to Mama?" Brulee asked anxiously from across the Mirror.
"Don't say that now, quickly pull Mama into the Mirror, and also have the Medical Team in the Mirror World prepare!" Sensing the increasingly terrifying Pressure behind him, Perospero said quickly.
"Oh, oh..." Just as Brulee kept agreeing and was about to pull Charlotte Linlin into the Mirror, she saw Nicholas in the Sky out of the corner of her eye through the Mirror.
Nicholas calmly watched Charlotte Linlin and Perospero's Actions. He swung the Sword that had been charged for a long time.
"Thunder Katana - East - One-Sword Burial." Perospero, who was helping Charlotte Linlin enter Brulee's Mirror World, suddenly felt a chill behind him. Then, a strong Sense of Crisis rushed towards him, constantly stimulating his nerves, and even the Fur on his Whole Body stood on end.
The Terror Power gathered in one place erupted as Nicholas swung his Long Sword, transforming into a black Slash Wave that stretched across the Sky. This huge black Slash, which seemed to tear apart the Sky and sever the Ground, even gave people the feeling that it would devour everything around it, flying towards Charlotte Linlin in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, it seemed that only the Sword swung by Nicholas remained between heaven and earth. Indescribable Fear instantly caused many of the Charlotte Family's Children to even lose their Consciousness of Resistance, sitting blankly on the Ground.
The Candy Mirror constructed by Perospero using his Devil Fruit Ability, connecting to Brulee's Mirror World, also seemed unable to withstand the Pressure brought by Nicholas's Slash. Dense Cracks began to appear on the Mirror surface.
"No!" Watching the Passage about to shatter, Perospero immediately let out a resentful Sound. And Charlotte Linlin also let out her Terror Strange Sound howl.
Immediately afterwards, the Terror black Slash Wave engulfed Charlotte Linlin's Body and Perospero's Body.
Boom—! In just an instant. The entire Cake Island was directly split in two, centered on Charlotte Linlin's Body. The Terror howling Sound from Charlotte Linlin's mouth, enough to pierce eardrums, also stopped abruptly.
The entire Cake Island fell into a dead silence. Nicholas slowly retracted his Long Sword, his gaze calmly looking at Cake Island Underfoot.
This Slash, although extremely costly, was absolutely impeccable in Power. Nicholas's Mood was surging, and he slowly opened his Eyes.
The Power contained in that Slash, after a brief pause, suddenly vented in all directions, turning into a violent Air Wave that swept towards the surroundings of Cake Island.
Katakuri, who was closest, was instantly enveloped by this violent Presence. The Air Wave washed over Katakuri, and his Complexion immediately tightened. At the same time, a pitch-black Mochi Wall blocked him and a group of Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters. Behind the Mochi Wall, Red Glow flickered in Katakuri's Eyes as he watched Nicholas there, his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.
He could clearly feel the Terror of this Aftershock. The violent Air Wave quickly passed Katakuri and the others, sweeping towards the entire Cake Island like raging waves.
Everyone protected by Katakuri's Mochi Wall was horrified under the shroud of this Terror Presence. However, at this moment, many people discovered a Scene that made their Complexions turn pale.
They saw countless blurry white orbs suddenly appearing in the Place where Charlotte Linlin was, floating upwards towards the Sky, and then falling into Cake Island Underfoot and the Grand Line around it.
"Those are... the Souls of the Homies..." Smoothie instantly realized something, and she looked incredulously towards the Position where Charlotte Linlin was.
Based on her understanding of Charlotte Linlin, these white orbs representing Soul Lifespan have always been only incoming and never outgoing. Some are spent when creating Homies, but never in such Terror quantities.
The appearance of such a large amount of Soul Lifespan can only mean that Charlotte Linlin is dead. Having lost the restraint of her Ability, all the Soul Lifespan she had collected was released.
"Mama... she's really dead." There was no need to confirm the Corpse anymore. The light in Cracker's Pupils quickly dissipated. His knees weakened, and he collapsed powerlessly sideways onto the Ground.
It's over, it's all over. He knew better than anyone that with Big Mom's death, not only them, the Remnant of the Charlotte Family, but also the entire Totto Land, with a Sphere of Influence of thousands of kilometers, was sliding towards the Abyss of destruction.
In the fiercely competitive New World, without the Existence of a Top-Tier Combat Power of the Grand Line, the vast foundation of the Totto Land Sea Area and the enormous Force were something that they, the Remnant of the Charlotte Family, could not defend no matter what.
Unless an Existence with Strength close to or even surpassing Mama reappeared in the Charlotte Family. Thinking of this, Cracker couldn't help but turn his Gaze towards Katakuri.
...... (End of Chapter)
Chapter 317 Nun Carmel
And just when almost all of the Charlotte Family were beginning to despair, a voice that seemed to come from the underworld rang out on Cake Island.
"GEBUR(Birthday)TSTAG (Happy Birthday), I grant you life, you shall obey my will, your names are Cronos and Poseidon!"
Accompanied by the terrifying Sound, Cake Island and the surrounding Sea Area began to tremble continuously, as if some terrifying Weapon was about to awaken.
"As expected, there's a problem."
Looking at the obviously unusual Scene, Nicholas's Gaze was fixedly staring at a certain Place on Cake Island, where Charlotte Linlin had been knocked down earlier.
However, at this moment, it seemed to be shrouded in chaos, and even with Nicholas's terrifying Observation Haki, he couldn't see the specific situation inside clearly.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Nicholas's Eyes, and then he raised the Long Sword in his hand. Since he couldn't see it, he would just force it out.
"Get out here!"
Boom!
A Surge of Energy that almost distorted the void instantly surged towards the Position where Charlotte Linlin was, and the enormous Power even caused the surrounding Ground to instantly crack, and spiderweb-like Cracks continuously spread.
At the same time, accompanied by Nicholas's Attack, a shrill scream suddenly came from Underground.
"Ma... Mama?"
Ice Cream Minister, Charlotte Moscato, and Finance Minister Charlotte Noisette's faces turned green with fright. They had personally heard Cracker say that Charlotte Linlin was already dead, so what was going on now?
A zombie resurrection?
The two of them, along with many of the Charlotte Family's Children around them, almost simultaneously turned their Gaze towards Katakuri, Comport, Smoothie, and other Children with the greatest Strength in the Charlotte Family, and tremblingly opened their mouths to say:
"Hey, w-what's going on?"
"Wasn't it said that Mama was killed?"
Just as the Words fell, a gloomy Aura rushed towards them. Looking at this gloomy Aura that almost occupied half of the Sky above Cake Island, Charlotte Amande couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously shrank her Neck.
After all, for the Snake-Person Tribe, their intuition for danger is very accurate.
"Jie jie jie jie jie..."
Accompanied by a spine-chilling Laughter, Charlotte Linlin's Yama-Uba-like Form was lifted from Underground by Prometheus. During the process of floating out, huge changes were also taking place around Cake Island. A mountain, or rather, a Giant made of Rock, was constantly expanding in size, and at this moment, Charlotte Linlin was riding Prometheus on top of the Giant's Head.
And on the Grand Line in the distance, a giant wave as high as a thousand meters and still rising rapidly was also quickly taking shape. The Face in the center of the giant wave, as if gradually awakening from sleep, undoubtedly indicated that this was a Homie created by Charlotte Linlin.
"Jie jie jie jie jie jie..."
Accompanied by the spine-chilling Laughter, the voice of 'Charlotte Linlin' echoed throughout Cake Island:
"What a terrifying Monster, to actually injure Big Mom like this. I didn't expect that besides Big Mom, so many Monsters have been born on the Grand Line. It seems I've missed a lot of Things."
Nicholas's Gaze turned towards Charlotte Linlin. At this time, because Charlotte Linlin had burned part of Oneself earlier, her Form appeared somewhat thin and withered, and even her Face was full of wrinkles.
Coupled with that Yama-Uba-like Face and Eyes, it made her look even more sinister and eerie.
It even gave Nicholas the illusion that the Person in front of him was not Charlotte Linlin.
However, this Look and Tone of Words...
Nicholas frowned. The Charlotte Linlin in front of him felt quite unfamiliar. Combining Charlotte Linlin's abnormal Action and thinking carefully, it seemed that there was only one possibility left...
"Ma... Mama?"
Just at this moment, a scream came from the side. Nicholas raised his Head and looked over, only to see Perospero lying on Charlotte Linlin's Shoulder, tentatively asking.
"Oh, it's you, Perospero, you little Weapon."
'Charlotte Linlin' showed a kind Smile towards Perospero, but coupled with that terrifying Face, no matter how you looked at it, it made people feel a little horrified.
"N-Nun... Nun Lord?"
And upon hearing 'Charlotte Linlin's Words', Perospero's whole Body suddenly stiffened, and then, as if he had seen a ghost, he said with a Face full of disbelief.
As expected, it is.
Nicholas's Gaze flickered slightly, and he turned his Gaze back to Charlotte Linlin again.
If he might have Feel wrong, then how could Perospero, as the eldest Son of the Charlotte Family, Big Mom's biological Son, who had been with Charlotte Linlin for almost thirty years, possibly misidentify her?
It seemed he hadn't guessed wrong. The 'Charlotte Linlin' at this moment was indeed Nun Carmel, who had once adopted Charlotte Linlin and then mysteriously disappeared one day, and was also the previous Soul Soul Fruit User.
It's just that many years ago, Nun Carmel should have died in Big Mom's Food Craving Sickness outbreak. But now it seems...
This Yama-Uba Nun Carmel, who single-handedly created Lamb's House and was famous in the Black Market for Human Trafficking, has been hiding in Big Mom's Body all these years?
Just as Nicholas's thoughts were racing, Nun Carmel was also carefully examining her Body, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:
"What an incredibly enviable Body and Talent, but to be injured like this is truly unforgivable."
Hearing 'Charlotte Linlin's Words', Perospero, who was on 'Charlotte Linlin's Shoulder, wished he could bury his Head like an ostrich.
Obviously, he also knew that this suddenly appearing Nun was not as kind and amiable as Charlotte Linlin had once said, the best Person in the world. No matter how you looked at it, this Thing didn't seem like a Good Person.
"Perospero, do you recognize me?"
When Perospero saw 'Charlotte Linlin' looking at him, and also heard a voice from her mouth that was not Charlotte Linlin's, he immediately became nervous and stuttered as he spoke:
"I... I am... the eldest Son of the Charlotte Family. Ma... Mama has mentioned you to us many times, and misses you very much. And... for so many years, she has been... looking for you. There is also your Photo in Mama's Bedroom. O-Only by looking at your Photo can she fall asleep. Every time a Birthday Banquet is held, she must first pray to your Photo..."
The more he spoke, the more fluent he became, and his Gaze gradually brightened.
That's right, although he didn't know what means Nun Carmel in front of him had used to replace Mama, her terrifying Strength was not discounted in the slightest.
Not to mention anything else, just the Rock Giant standing tall at ten thousand meters on Cake Island, and the thousand-meter giant wave surrounding the entire Cake Island were the best proof.
Just looking at it made people feel Fear. No matter how you looked at it, she was an extraordinary Strongest.
"Every Birthday, she prays to my Photo..."
'Charlotte Linlin' looked at Perospero in front of her, and suddenly grinned, revealing a Gratified Smile:
"That Big Mom, she's really a filial Good Person, to actually still remember me."
ps: There will only be two updates today, I need to think about the next plot direction. Also, Teacher Kai and Charlotte Linlin should still do some sit-ups Underground in Wano Country, otherwise, the Four Emperors' status will be too low (also, Teacher Kai should be able to pass Children's Day, right?).
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 318 Soul Devouring
"Yes, yes, Nun Carmel, although we haven't seen you in person, Mama has always emphasized to us that you are the kindest person in the world. The establishment of Totto Land is Mama inheriting your wish to build a dream realm where everyone can live in harmony..."
"Hearing those words really makes one want to cry."
Nun Carmel glanced at Perospero and sighed softly, "Poor Linlin, still remembering those words from back then after all these years."
Saying this, she spoke gently to Perospero, "Come, Linlin's child, stand behind me. As long as I am here today, no one can hurt you anymore."
"Yes, Nun Carmel."
Perospero was overjoyed. This was exactly what he was waiting for from Carmel. After Charlotte Linlin fell, the seemingly powerful Nun Carmel was undoubtedly a very good backer.
"Such an obedient good child, just like Linlin."
Looking at Perospero, who was acting like a good boy, Nun Carmel stretched out a hand with pity, reaching towards Perospero as if to express affection.
But at this moment, Katakuri, who had been frowning and watching the Battlefield from afar, suddenly changed his Complexion drastically and shouted loudly at Perospero:
"Perospero, be careful!"
Hearing Katakuri's loud shout from afar, Perospero couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could react, he suddenly felt 'Charlotte Linlin's' Palm press down on his Head. An infinite suction force came from the top of his head, and his Soul seemed to want to leave his Body and was constantly being pulled upwards.
"No!"
Feeling the fatal Threat, Perospero finally reacted at this point, letting out a scream, struggling frantically in horror, trying to break free from Carmel's hand.
However.
Everything was too late. For Perospero, his Power was truly insignificant in front of Carmel, who had taken control of Charlotte Linlin's Body.
In just a few short seconds, a Soul that looked exactly like Perospero was directly extracted from his Body by Nun Carmel, and then directly put into that gluttonous mouth.
Perospero's Soul Body seemed to still have some Consciousness, constantly struggling and trying to break free from 'Charlotte Linlin's' big mouth, but it was obvious that in front of a Soul-Soul Fruit Ability User, this struggle was too insignificant.
With a slurping sound, Perospero's Soul was completely swallowed into 'Charlotte Linlin's' big mouth.
And Perospero's Body, which had lost its Soul, suddenly stiffened, and then was released by Carmel's hand, falling straight down towards the Ground.
"Mmm, the Soul of a Weapon with good Strength is really Delicious Food."
Nun Carmel, who had devoured Perospero's Soul, smacked her lips and revealed a satisfied expression, "Feeling much better, such a Soul is simply the best Miraculous Healing Medicine in the World..."
As Nun Carmel's Words fell, the Wound on her Chest that had been cut by Nicholas began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You Weapon..."
Nicholas, who witnessed this Scene, couldn't help but narrow his Gaze slightly, then looked at Nun Carmel, who had occupied 'Charlotte Linlin's' Form, and said in a low voice, "Just what kind of Monster are you..."
Because Nun Carmel's Existence was too surprising. Although Brook's Departed Soul could return to the present World from the Underworld, it was relying on the Ability of the Underworld Fruit.
Although Nun Carmel was also a Soul-Soul Fruit Ability User, there was no doubt that Charlotte Linlin could also use the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability, and even created her own Soul Homies, as well as the Homies of Totto Land.
It was impossible to have two Ability Users with the same Fruit, no matter how one thought about it.
"What kind of Monster am I?"
Hearing Nicholas's Words, a hideous and terrifying Smile suddenly appeared on 'Charlotte Linlin's' wrinkled old face:
"Didn't you already know!?"
Before her Words finished, 'Charlotte Linlin's' huge Form let out a terrifying Strange Sound. The materialized Sound waves spread out in circles towards the Sky of Cake Island, like a Pebble thrown into a lake, and huge Ripples suddenly appeared in the Sky above Cake Island.
Along with 'Charlotte Linlin's' strange cry, the huge Rock Giant and the Tsunami surrounding Cake Island also all moved.
Accompanied by a whistling Sound, the hundred-meter-sized Rock Palm directly slapped down towards Nicholas.
Buzz!
Within the range of Charlotte Linlin's strange Sound, the Remnant of the Big Mom Pirates suddenly changed their Complexion drastically.
They all felt in horror that a terrifying suction force that penetrated deep into their Souls came from the top of their heads, as if to forcibly tear their Souls out of their Bodies!
"What's going on!?"
"What happened!"
"I... I can't feel my Body anymore!"
...
For a Time, the panicked Voices of the Charlotte Family Members rang out from every Corner of Cake Island. From Time to Time, people's Souls were sucked out of their Bodies, and then their Bodies stiffly fell to the Ground like wax figures.
Looking at the Manner of the People around them, those who had not yet had their Souls extracted showed expressions of Terror one by one.
Many People also reacted. Wasn't this Look the same as those guys who had their Lifespan taken away by Mama!
And those Souls that were extracted from their Bodies, like birds returning to the forest, gathered towards 'Charlotte Linlin' in the High Sky.
As the number of Souls absorbed increased, Charlotte Linlin's shriveled Body actually began to become plump again at a Speed visible to the naked eye, and even her size became larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, her originally huge Form swelled several times, becoming a Giant in the true sense of the Word.
"Power, Power is constantly pouring out!"
Feeling the Power constantly pouring out of her Body, Nun Carmel's mad Laughter constantly echoed throughout Cake Island, full of indescribable arrogance in her Laughter.
"What an arrogant Weapon!"
Looking at the rampant Carmel, Nicholas was inexplicably a little unhappy. You must know that Charlotte Linlin, whom Carmel was so concerned about, had been beaten to near death by him. Which of the Strongest in the Grand Line, whether Whitebeard or Roger, Sengoku, Garp and others, dared to be so arrogant in the Process of fighting with him?
Then Nicholas suddenly raised his empty Left Hand.
"With my True Qi, combining the Creation of Heaven and Earth! Summon Thunder!"
"Rumble!"
Along with Nicholas's Words, Thunderclouds rumbled in the Sky, Lightning Light flickered, and the Roar of Thunder was deafening and earth-shattering.
Following the traction of Nicholas's Left Hand.
A huge Thunder Pillar spewed out from the Thundercloud, and hit the huge Palm that was slapping towards Nicholas with a Rumble.
"Zi la!"
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
Lightning flowed, and a huge Lightning directly cut off the Rock Giant Cronus's Arm at the Elbow. The range it affected stretched for thousands of meters. Under the bombardment of purple Electric Arc, the Giant's Arm was directly broken and fell towards the Ground.
"Roar!"
The pain of the broken Arm immediately caused Cronus to let out a painful Roar.
But Nicholas didn't have Time to look at Cronus at this Time.
Because at this Time he was facing a white fluffy Things face to face.
Under Nicholas's Gaze, Zeus Thundercloud showed a shy Look, and made a 'hehehe' Laughter, trying to muddle through.
......
(End of chapter)
Chapter 319 Nun's Plan
"Laugh your fart, what's wrong with you?" Nicholas asked in annoyance, looking at Zeus, who had shrunk countless times and turned into a white cloud.
"That, that, I don't know what's going on either. Suddenly, my connection with Mama became very weak, and without Mama, my Power also..." Zeus said timidly as he returned to his normal Form. Clearly, Nicholas's previous performance had really panicked him.
After all, even Mama wasn't this Weapon's Opponent, let alone himself who had now lost most of his Power. The main thing was that his specialty, Lightning, did absolutely zero Damage to this Weapon.
"Then why does that Weapon look in an unprecedentedly good State?" Nicholas pointed his Finger at Prometheus, who was being stepped on by 'Charlotte Linlin', and said.
It could be said that Prometheus's current State was unprecedentedly good, and even his Body had expanded several times. From a distance, he looked like a Flame Crown on the head of a Rock Giant.
"I don't know either, maybe... maybe..." Zeus didn't know what to say for a long time. After all, it had become extremely weak, while Prometheus had become incomparably powerful. This was an undeniable fact.
"I'm asking you, can you still Feel Charlotte Linlin's Aura?" Nicholas asked directly, looking at Zeus who couldn't express his Thoughts for a long time.
"Yes, but I can only faintly Feel it. It seems Mama is trapped by something." Zeus said.
"What exactly is going on?!" Cracker shouted loudly at Katakuri while struggling to resist this bizarre Scene. Clearly, in this dangerous Time, Katakuri, as the strongest Strength of the Charlotte Family, undoubtedly became everyone's backbone.
Katakuri constantly used Observation Haki to observe his surroundings while searching for a Method to break it. He could faintly Feel that it seemed only the Children of the Charlotte Family would find it difficult to Resistance in the face of this Soul Extraction. It seemed there was an invisible connection between them and the Existence that suddenly appeared and occupied Charlotte Linlin's Body.
It was as if a connection had been established before they were born, but it had only now revealed itself.
"This is..." Katakuri, who was originally thinking about how to deal with it, suddenly changed his Complexion, and then his Eyes suddenly turned to Charlotte Linlin, who was stepping on Prometheus.
"Wanting to absorb my Soul? It seems that seizing Mama's Body has made your confidence burst." Katakuri snorted coldly, looking up at the increasingly huge Figure in the Sky. Then a sharp glint flashed in his Eyes.
"Wishful thinking!" Chi! The Haki in his Body Burst out directly. The Soul that seemed to be leaving his Body was directly locked in his Body. At the same Time, the faint thread connecting his own Soul and Charlotte Linlin's Soul was also instantly severed. The suction force from above his head also disappeared cleanly.
However, this situation would not last long. When his own Haki was exhausted, his Soul would still be drawn away.
"Older Brother Katakuri, save me!" Just at this Time, a cry of weeping suddenly came from nearby.
Katakuri turned his head and saw his Younger Sister Brulee, with whom he had the deepest Emotion, was now frantically touching her head with her hands in a chaotic manner. It seemed she was trying to grab her own Soul to prevent it from leaving her Body.
However, the physical Body and the illusory Soul were fundamentally unable to touch. No matter how she waved her hands, it seemed somewhat Futile. Feeling the Terror of the suction force coming from above her head, Brulee could only reveal a Look of Despair.
"Brulee!" Facing the untouchable Soul, Katakuri could only watch helplessly as Brulee's struggle became increasingly weak, and the Soul in her Body was almost pulled out.
"Damn it, damn it... damn it!" Katakuri suddenly became a little panicked. He hadn't protected Brulee before, was he going to repeat the same mistake now?
No, absolutely not! Katakuri's Eyes suddenly turned scarlet red.
Buzz! At this Time, a Terror Aura erupted from Katakuri's Body. Then a Giant Mochi Dragon shot out from the Ground towards 'Charlotte Linlin' in the Sky with a mighty momentum.
Since the problem cannot be solved, then just solve the Person who caused the problem.
"Oh, Conqueror's Haki, what a truly remarkable Kid. If it were in the past, it could be sold for a very high Price." 'Charlotte Linlin' glanced sideways, looking at Katakuri who was soaring into the Sky, not taking him seriously at all.
She merely controlled the Giant Cronus beneath her to strike at Katakuri, as if she were driving away a moth that didn't know its own Strength.
...And Nicholas's Figure appeared not far from Carmel at some point. He looked at Carmel opposite him with a playful Look and said:
"It seems you haven't completely seized Charlotte Linlin's Body."
"Hmph, Kid. Even if I suppress Big Mom while dealing with you, it's still easy!" Nun Carmel's cold Gaze stared at Nicholas's Face, and she sneered and said:
"You should be glad that I just woke up not long ago, otherwise you would probably be dead already!"
"So arrogant? It seems that the Top-Tier Combat Power of your Era isn't that great." Nicholas's Gaze flickered slightly, and he raised an eyebrow.
Looking at Carmel's performance, Nicholas roughly had a guess in his mind. He sneered and said, "It seems Charlotte Linlin has been subtly influenced by you quite a bit. You and Streusen should take credit for her Personality becoming gradually distorted."
"Very smart, Kid." Nun looked at Nicholas with a bit of surprise, then smiled dismissively:
"Actually, I wish I could grind Streusen that Weapon into ashes. According to my original Plan, an old woman with a powerful Devil Fruit Ability but a weak Body and not much Time left, a natural Monster but a pure and lovely little freak. Do you know how I Feel when I saw Big Mom at that Time? It was simply the best Gift that God gave me, wasn't it?
Originally, I was parasitizing in Big Mom's Soul, lending her my Ability. As Time passed, Big Mom would be slowly replaced by me and eventually become the new Carmel, and I would be reborn.
But the appearance of Streusen that Weapon disrupted my Plan. She should have been subconsciously influenced by me! But in the end, she was influenced by Streusen that Weapon!" When Streusen was mentioned, Nun Carmel's resentment almost materialized. The Plan that should have succeeded in just a few years was forcibly ruined by Streusen. As Charlotte Linlin grew older and her Strength increased, how could Carmel, who only had a Remnant Soul left, suppress her Opponent?
Even if Nicholas hadn't severely injured Charlotte Linlin this Time, causing her to fall into an unprecedented State of weakness, Carmel would have had no Opportunity at all!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 320 Charlotte Family's Great Escape
"Forget it," Nicholas's eyes narrowed, and then a tyrannical and domineering Aura soared into the sky, "In the end, it's just the wail of a defeated dog!"
On the other side, Brulee, who had temporarily escaped Nun Carmel's Soul pull, took out a huge Standing Mirror from the Mirror Space and said to Cracker and Comport beside her, "Sister Comport, Older Brother Cracker, hurry and come in.
As long as we escape outside of Mama's Ability Range, we'll be safe!"
Obviously, Brulee also realized that only by escaping beyond the Ability Range of the Soul-Soul Fruit could they be considered safe. Otherwise, with their Strength, they would not be able to play any role in the Cake Island War, and might even face the danger of Death at any time.
Comport and Cracker were considered to have relatively high prestige among the remaining Family members.
Moreover, the two were not rigid thinkers. After a simple analysis of the Situation, they found that escaping was indeed the optimal choice, just as Brulee had said.
"Brulee, why haven't you come in yet?"
After almost all the surviving Charlotte Family members entered the Mirror World, Comport looked at Brulee standing at the edge of the Mirror World, who was still reluctant to leave, and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Comport, you go first, I'm going to wait for Older Brother Katakuri. Otherwise, I'm worried that if I leave, without the Existence of the Mirror Passage, Older Brother Katakuri may have difficulty escaping from those two Weapons."
Brulee looked at Katakuri, who was constantly fighting with the Rock Giant, and the thousand-meter Tsunami Poseidon that was constantly surging towards Cake Island, and said with a trembling Tone.
Obviously, for Brulee, staying in this kind of world-destroying Battlefield for even a second required immense Courage.
"Sister Comport, please hurry and take everyone to leave, otherwise I'm worried..."
As she spoke, tears welled up on Brulee's ugly Face, "If I accidentally die, none of you will be able to escape."
"Brulee, you must bring Katakuri back, we are all waiting for you! And you must survive!"
Looking at Brulee's Look, Comport didn't say much more. After a simple word of exhortation, she turned and chased after the main force in the Mirror World without looking back.
"Damn it, I didn't expect to escape so miserably!" Zukotto roared unwillingly as he ran.
"No way, who knew the Situation would become like this." Amande urged, "Okay, hurry up and get out from the other Exit of Brulee's Mirror World, after all, on that kind of Battlefield, who knows how long Brulee can last."
"Humph! This Thing is not over yet!" Oven, who was carried on the Shoulders of a group of Medical Personnel and was covered in Bandage, said indignantly. Obviously, the Charlotte Family suffering such a big loss made him very unhappy.
Just as the group was moving rapidly towards the Exit of the Mirror World, suddenly the entire Mirror World vibrated, and the Mirror Surfaces embedded everywhere began to ripple like water.
Looking at this sudden Scene, Daifuku couldn't help but turn his head to look at Comport and asked, "This is..."
"Everyone hurry up, Brulee is in trouble! Leave from the nearest Exit of the Mirror World quickly!"
Comport decisively shouted loudly.
For them, if they couldn't take advantage of the Time when Brulee was still in control of the Mirror World to escape from it, then once Brulee died, losing Brulee's control of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit Ability would trap them all in the Mirror World forever.
Unless someone ate the Mirror-Mirror Fruit again before they died and opened the Mirror World, otherwise they could only wait for Death.
"It's Conqueror's Haki Shockwave!" Comport, standing in Honeycomb Town on Sweet Island, said, gazing at the Sky in the direction of Cake Island.
There, two terrifying Auras were vying against each other.
"No way? I remember that Nicholas guy doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, right?"
Gala, the only remaining seedling among the Charlotte Family quintuplets, exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not Nicholas, it's Older Brother Katakuri and Mama's Conqueror's Haki clashing." Oven said, looking at the direction of Cake Island with a gloomy Complexion, "I just didn't expect that Older Brother Katakuri's Haki (Spirit) has become so powerful!"
The surrounding Charlotte Members couldn't help but feel their hearts surging when they heard this. Although they might lose Charlotte Linlin, if Katakuri could survive, then they could still be a powerful Force on the Grand Line!
"Older Brother Katakuri, what should we do now?"
Brulee, who was brought along by Katakuri, couldn't help but ask, looking at 'Charlotte Linlin' in the distance who was emitting an uncomfortable Aura.
Just now, after discovering that her 'Food' had escaped, the Nun, who was filled with anger, directly launched an Attack on Brulee. If Katakuri hadn't taken action in time, Brulee would have been turned into Ashes by Prometheus, who had greatly increased in Strength.
"Stay behind me, and we have to get rid of 'Mama', this big trouble."
Katakuri said, turning his Gaze to 'Charlotte Linlin' who was fighting with Nicholas.
Obviously, Katakuri was also very clear that if they didn't get rid of Nun Carmel, this big trouble, then no matter where they escaped, it would be useless.
"Fight Mama!?"
Brulee's Eyes looked at 'Charlotte Linlin', who was like a Giant God, her Tone full of disbelief.
Charlotte Linlin's Majesty over these Children for many years was not just for show.
Seeming to know Brulee's Thoughts, Katakuri said in a very fast Tone, "Only by taking advantage of this Opportunity can we get rid of Nun Carmel who has seized Mama's Body, otherwise once the Nun frees up her hands, we're finished."
"But Older Brother Katakuri..."
Looking at Katakuri, who was holding the Earth Dragon and had a firm Face, Brulee hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, I won't push myself. Once the Situation is not good, I will retreat immediately. At that Time, we will still have to rely on your Ability, Brulee." Katakuri frantically set up a flag.
"I understand! Older Brother Katakuri, you must be careful yourself."
Brulee said seriously.
On one side, Katakuri had decided to solve the trouble of the Nun, and on the other side, the Battle between Nicholas and Carmel was still continuing.
Boom!
A Sonic Boom Cloud instantly appeared in the Sky, and it was Nicholas who was blasted away by 'Charlotte Linlin' with a slap.
"Bastard, how dare you be distracted while fighting me?" Carmel laughed arrogantly, looking at Nicholas who was flying backwards.
"It seems that increasing your Form has also greatly increased your Power! But..." Nicholas used his Foot to slide out two Traces in the Sky to stop himself, then looked up at Carmel in the distance, "You can't maintain this State for a long Time, right?"
"Worry about yourself first, you little Kid!"
Carmel, driving Prometheus, used 'Charlotte Linlin's' huge Form to continuously unleash violent Fists, each Fist could bring up a powerful Shockwave.
Nicholas didn't dodge either. Anyway, Carmel's State couldn't last long, so he might as well let go and enjoy this Battle to the fullest.
Boom! Boom!
Every collision between the two was like a bomb detonating in the Sky.
