Chapter 325: Kaido Loses the Azure Dragon, Linlin Retreats!
Charlotte Linlin abruptly stood up in a towering rage, her gaze locking on in an instant.
She saw with her own eyes Roy shoving the two Devil Fruits into the mouths of Ivankov and Kuma respectively!
"You bastard!!!"
She roared, swinging Napoleon. The giant sword ignited with monstrous flames, the rolling fire seemingly intent on turning the entire treasure vault into a sea of fire!
Roy had his back to her. His expression was calm, his palms resting lightly on the shoulders of Ivankov and Kuma.
"When it comes to someone important, you have to protect them well..."
Kuma looked up blankly, staring at Roy's profile, his heart suddenly trembling.
"Was that sentence... meant for me?"
Before he could sort out his thoughts, Roy waved his large hand—
"SWISH!"
The figures of the two instantly vanished from the spot!
"BOOM—!!!"
At almost the exact same moment, Linlin's giant sword slashed down fiercely. Monstrous flames, sword energy, and fire intertwined, tearing the air apart.
Roy turned and met the attack with a fist. Armament Haki covered his entire arm like obsidian as his heavy punch collided explosively with the burning Napoleon!
Heaven and earth shook, the shockwave exploded, and the ground within a hundred-meter radius collapsed with a boom!
Linlin's pupils shrank drastically. A massive force surged from her palm, numbing the webbing of her hand!
"You... who exactly are you?!!"
Roy didn't budge an inch, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Charlotte Linlin, the you of this era..."
"...is not qualified yet!"
"BANG!!!"
He violently exerted force, his fist power detonating like a thunderclap!
Linlin's massive body was actually forcibly blasted away, crashing through three thick, heavy stone walls in succession. Stone debris flew, and sparks scattered!
...
On the eastern side of God Valley, the slaves were fleeing for their lives in a panic. Cries, screams, and gunshots intertwined in chaos.
Ginny dragged several children, desperately squeezing into the dilapidated ruins. The pursuers behind them were hot on their heels. Celestial Dragon guards and pirates brandished swords and guns, closing in step by step.
"Run! Don't look back!!!"
Her voice trembled, her eyes full of despair.
Right at this moment—
"VROOM!"
The air ahead abruptly distorted, and two small figures tumbled out from a spatial rift!
"Big Brother?! Kuma?!!"
Ginny's eyes widened, barely able to believe it.
Ivankov lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, shaking his dizzy head.
The next second, he felt a violent, scorching power suddenly surge within his body!
"Waaah! It's so hot!!!"
Fine azure scales surfaced all over his body, and a jet of flame actually spewed uncontrollably from his mouth—
"FWOOSH!"
The tongue of fire hit the ground, instantly scorching a small, blackened crater at the feet of the pursuers. Seeing this, the pursuers' footsteps halted, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.
Kuma, meanwhile, stared blankly down at his palms. He saw pink, paw-like pads had appeared on them, emitting bizarre fluctuations.
"What... is this?"
Echoing in his ears was Roy's parting whisper: "Take everyone and leave this island!"
He abruptly looked up, a flash of resolve in his eyes: "Ginny... everyone, hurry and come to me!"
Pop! Pop! Pop—!!!
The power of the Paw-Paw Fruit activated. The pink energy patted onto the slaves one by one.
The next instant, everyone turned into vanishing specks of light, instantly repelled and teleported to a safe zone far away!
Ginny froze, her eyes moistening, her voice trembling: "Kuma... you..."
Kuma revealed a simple, honest smile, the paw pads on his palms flashing slightly.
"That gentleman said we have to protect the people important to us."
Ivankov also staggered to his feet. His dragon breath was still unstable, the spewing flames swaying erratically, yet it had already ignited the fighting spirit in his eyes: "That's right! We ate super amazing fruits!"
He raised his head, his azure scales flashing slightly in the firelight.
"—From now on, it's our turn to protect everyone!!!"
...
On the battlefield, Kaido's kanabo was already stained with blood. He rampaged across the battlefield like a berserk giant beast. Wherever his iron hooves trampled, corpses littered the field, and agonizing screams shook the heavens.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply. Amidst the ruins in the distance, a touch of pink was exceptionally glaring—
Charlotte Linlin was actually collapsed among the broken walls and debris! Her breathing was chaotic, her entire body covered in wounds!
"Linlin?!!"
Kaido let out a furious roar. With a horizontal sweep of his club, he blasted away all the Marines and Celestial Dragons blocking his path, blood mist filling the air.
His mountain-like body leaped violently, lunging straight for the ruins of the treasure vault.
"BOOM—!!!"
He landed heavily, kicking up a sky full of shattered stones as airwaves rolled.
Kaido urgently helped Linlin up, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What happened?! How did you get beaten up like this?!!"
Blood spilled from the corner of Linlin's mouth, her breathing rapid. The giant sword Napoleon had already snapped into two pieces, the wreckage still smoking black.
Deep fear still lingered in her eyes.
"That Marine... isn't right..."
She rasped in a low voice, her chest heaving violently, secretly horrified in her heart: To actually... defeat me in an instant?!!
Linlin fiercely grabbed Kaido's arm. Her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed hoarsely: "Kaido!! We can't stay on this island anymore!! We are retreating immediately!!!"
Kaido's eyes widened, and he roared: "What?! Retreat now?! That guy Rocks will kill us!!!"
"You don't understand!!!"
Linlin forced herself to stand up, abruptly summoning back Zeus. The thundercloud churned beneath her feet.
"I originally wanted to find a powerful fruit for you, but..." She gritted her teeth and said sternly, "A new monster has appeared on this island..."
"A monster just like Rocks! And he's a Marine!!!"
Kaido's mind was shaken, the burly and terrifying figure of Rocks flashing through his mind.
He gnashed his teeth, his gaze sweeping toward the center of the battlefield. He saw the sky tearing apart; Rocks was engaged in a bloody battle with Garp and Roger, their Haki and sword energy shooting into the sky.
Linlin's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Let's go!!!"
Kaido took a deep breath. He forcefully hoisted Linlin onto his shoulder, stepped onto Zeus's thundercloud, and sped toward the distant coast!
At this moment, high in the sky, thick dark clouds churned, and thunder rumbled endlessly.
A figure hovered quietly among the clouds, looking down at the battlefield below. His eyes were as cold and sharp as blades as he stared at the retreating figures of Kaido and Linlin in the distance.
"A wise choice, but I don't have time to deal with you right now..."
Then, he slowly shifted his gaze, looking toward another part of the battlefield.
The young "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate was locked in a bitter struggle with the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights, St. Figarland Garling.
Murakumogiri and the knight's longsword collided time and time again, kicking up blinding sparks and deafening booms.
Roy watched quietly, a blazing glint flashing deep in his eyes, his battle intent burning like a raging fire.
"The battle over there... won't end that quickly," he muttered in a low voice, the arc of his lips gradually turning unbridled. "In that case..."
"I'll let you two... help me warm up first!"
"SWISH!!!"
The next moment—
"BOOM!!!"
In the center of Whitebeard and Garling's battlefield, a violent airwave exploded!
The young Newgate's pupils shrank sharply: "Wh—?!!"
Garling's expression changed drastically, his longsword rapidly raising upwards: "Since when—?!"
Under the shocked gazes of the two, Roy's figure had already wedged itself into the battlefield. His fists wrapped in Haki, he attacked the two powerhouses directly!
