It seemed that because she hadn't heard anyone insult her in a long, long time, Charlotte Linlin was actually taken aback for a moment upon hearing the words 'fat pig', failing to react immediately.
But soon, towering fury erupted from Charlotte Linlin's head—this wasn't just a descriptive adjective; it was a straightforward statement!
Prometheus, which originally resembled a cute little sun, instantly merged into Charlotte Linlin's head. Her long hair transformed into terrifying flames, and combined with her twisted expression and witch-like face, it was enough to scare ninety-nine percent of the people on the seas witless, their souls fleeing in terror!
Then, this terrifying witch opened her huge mouth and let out a horrifying, monstrous shriek:
"LIFE OR DEAD?!!"
Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit possessed a certain-kill ability to directly extract the souls of those who feared her. Even opponents who could somewhat contend with her would be instantly annihilated the moment fear took root in their hearts.
However, in the eyes of Hancock, who had now seen her share of grand spectacles, this level of intimidation seemed rather petty. She slightly pursed her red lips, a look of contempt appearing on her flawless jade-like face. Without offering any verbal reply, she simply clenched her fist.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists — Conqueror's Haki Infusion Edition!
Originally an all-encompassing, offensive and defensive, nearly area-sweeping physical attack, Hancock condensed it into a Pegasus Meteor Fist assault focused on a single direction. While reducing the attack range, she dramatically increased the intensity per unit area. Pale blue Chakra fists laced with black lightning instantly displaced the atmosphere, creating a vacuum.
Charlotte Linlin, who had also sensed the attack with her Observation Haki, only had time to coat her entire body in Armament Haki for defense before being sent flying backward, vomiting blood wildly!
The atmosphere roared, the storm screamed! The pink Charlotte Linlin shot backward like an unimaginable cannonball. The instant she was sent flying, she smashed through seven or eight Charlotte Family members, turning them into bloody paste!
The original Mama Queen Singing Ship was directly split in two by this terrifying destructive force. Even the distant sky was cleaved, leaving a parting line right down the middle!
Not only that, but the very next second after Charlotte Linlin was blasted away, the surrounding air rushed in to fill the vacuum channel, stirring up an air movement akin to a violent storm. Everyone aboard the Charlotte Pirates' ship was tossed about like dandelions in this gale, screaming as they flew through the air!
...It wasn't until Hancock reached out and grasped the air, her powerful gravitational pull reeling the scattered Charlotte Pirates members back like stars and forcibly piecing the Mama Queen Singing Ship back together, that the Charlotte Pirates were spared from total annihilation.
However, now, all the Charlottes wore expressions of lingering terror and shattered worldviews, staring dumbfounded as if their very souls had been scared out of them.
Even Katakuri, the most level-headed and resilient among all the Charlottes, after recovering from his mochi-like state, looked dazed and trembling, his spirit seemingly wandering elsewhere. One can imagine how the other Charlottes were currently having their worldviews completely rebuilt.
In a way, Katakuri was quite unlucky. When Charlotte Linlin was sent flying backward, Katakuri, who was right behind her, was crushed head-on. His resilient body and powerful Armament Haki proved utterly useless, completely shattered.
Fortunately, his Logia-like Mochi-Mochi Fruit granted a pseudo-elemental transformation, preventing this pinnacle masterpiece of the Charlotte Family from being ground into bloody paste like those other unfortunate Charlottes by their own mother.
But it was precisely this firsthand experience that eradicated any lingering hope in Katakuri's heart. The beauty before him, whose loveliness defied description, possessed strength that had reached an unimaginable level, completely shattering the ceiling of the One Piece World.
The general feeling was akin to a Ninja from the Third Great Ninja War suddenly finding themselves on the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield, watching a bunch of Ōtsutsuki deities unleash world-destroying Ninjutsu, and then questioning their entire existence.
Are we really all playing the same version of the game? Did you, by any chance, have the GM directly modify your stats?!
Standing on the shattered deck of the Mama Queen Singing Ship, Hancock slowly retracted her hand, glanced coldly at all the members of the Charlotte Family, and spoke with chilling authority:
"That fat pig just asked me whether to hand over my soul or die. Now that the nuisance is gone, I'll ask you the same question!"
"Surrender, or die!"
"S-s-s-surrender!"
Perospero was the first to drop his candy cane and raise both hands. As if triggered by a chain reaction, a large group of Charlotte Family members also raised their hands in surrender. Even proud individuals like Charlotte Smoothie and Katakuri unhesitatingly knelt on their long legs.
Are you kidding? Didn't you see that beauty take down Mama with a single move, leaving her fate unknown? With her methods, wiping out the entire Charlotte clan would probably take just one or two moves!
Among the Charlotte clan, there were plenty of stubborn, fearless individuals. But those so stubborn they didn't care about their own siblings were few and far between. And even those selfish types cared deeply about their own lives.
Under these circumstances, whether for their own survival, simply scared out of their wits, or for the sake of their siblings' lives, all members of the Charlotte clan made the same unanimous choice: everyone surrendered!
The only ones who chose to resist were the Homies created by Charlotte Linlin.
Prometheus and Napoleon were blasted away along with Charlotte Linlin. The Mama Queen Singing Ship was severely damaged by a single punch. The only remaining high-level Homie was the thundercloud Zeus, which supported the entire warship.
