The explosion that spread across the sky lasted for a while before stopping.
Everyone looked up at the sky, waiting.
Just then, a completely black spherical figure, trailing long white exhaust behind it, plummeted towards the island.
Following behind the sphere were three listless Homies.
The Homies' eyes were all tightly shut, as if they had exhausted their strength and fainted, merely following their master by instinct.
Boom—!
The sphere crashed not far from the battlefield between Kouta and Kaido, creating a deep pit in the ground.
Instantly, all eyes were drawn to it.
"Is she dead?"
Momonga murmured gravely.
Garp clenched his fist, glanced towards the deep pit obscured by smoke, and said in a deep voice, "Not that easily. You have to remember, she's known as 'Iron Balloon,' Charlotte Linlin!"
Speaking of which, he glanced at Kouta and said with a hint of emotion, "Before the silver-haired brat appeared, the ceiling for human physical capabilities was probably Charlotte Linlin."
"The blue-haired girl's attack was indeed powerful, but to think it would be enough to kill the former ceiling of human physical capabilities is still underestimating her."
"Mm!"
Momonga and the others nodded, indicating they understood.
However, even so, everyone looked at Guina with shock.
After all, the power of that explosion was something they had never witnessed before!
They had no doubt that if they had been at the center of the explosion, they would have turned into dust by now.
"Mom!"
At this moment, Perospero, with his siblings, rushed over from the shore.
They didn't stop as they passed the Marines, but quickly crossed them and headed straight for where Charlotte Linlin had fallen.
"How could this be? How can that brat be so strong?"
Perospero said as he ran, glancing up at Guina standing at the highest point of the royal palace, then quickly averted his gaze back to where his mother had fallen.
"Huh? What's this..."
Behind the dust, they saw a silver-haired brat sitting cross-legged in the air. As they looked at Kouta, Kouta also turned to look at them.
Hiss—!
"It's silver hair."
"Then..."
Perospero and the others stopped in the distance, their eyes fixed on the area below Kouta. Upon seeing the tall figure fighting two flying daggers in a bizarre space that was constantly breaking, twisting, and repairing itself, everyone was shocked.
"Kaido."
Perospero exclaimed.
"He's being suppressed. How is this possible? He's Kaido, on the same level as Mother! How can he be suppressed?"
Perospero's face was filled with disbelief.
"Brother Perospero, let's go see Mother first!"
At this moment, a tall, slender, and extremely pale woman emerged from behind Perospero.
She wore a hat three times the size of her body, had light blue hair, a light blue vertically striped dress, and a red sash around her waist where a long sword was tucked.
A hint of anxiety appeared on her usually cold face.
"Brother Perospero, if Mother faints and her gluttony flares up, it will be terrible."
She was Charlotte Linlin's third daughter, named "Charlotte Amande," and belonged to the Snake-head tribe, hence her tall and slender build. She was also a cruel swordswoman.
Of those who came to Dressrosa this time, only she and Perospero were somewhat competent; the others were negligible.
It was unknown what Charlotte Linlin was thinking, bringing no Sweet Commanders. Truly arrogant!
They saw Kaido, and Kaido naturally saw them.
To be honest, Kaido's mental state was somewhat shattered at this moment.
He didn't want to speak.
Let the old woman come, but at least bring some strong people!
What are these misfits?
He knew Perospero, Charlotte Linlin's eldest son. Not only did he know him, but he had even held the boy when he was young.
And after all these decades, this is all the strength he has?
He was far from being as strong as his younger brother Katakuri!
With such little strength, coming here was like offering himself as food, wasn't it?
"Sigh~"
Kaido sighed inwardly and looked towards the sea, "I can only hope Marco arrives soon."
He had tried many methods, even using Conqueror's Haki to directly break through this bizarre space and rush out. However, the silver-haired brat in the sky seemed to be everywhere. He went out, but it felt as if he hadn't, because as soon as he left one layer of space, he would immediately fall into another.
It was as if this space was truly endless, and looking at the silver-haired brat's relaxed demeanor, it was as if creating this space was as easy as eating and drinking for him.
"Damn it."
And he could shatter the space easily; a single swing of Haki-wrapped blow would suffice. But to break through it required his full strength.
And whether it was shattering or breaking through, it was very taxing on his stamina.
Already enduring the constant pressure in this bizarre space, coupled with the two incredibly fast flying daggers, his stamina was being rapidly depleted.
Therefore, after trying many methods and failing to break out of this bizarre space, he stopped making futile efforts and placed his hope on Charlotte Linlin and the people she brought.
However, he hadn't expected that in such a short time, just a few minutes, Charlotte Linlin would be struck down from the sky.
He knew the earth-shattering explosion was powerful, but it couldn't kill the old woman just like that. But...
Even the old woman would be injured in such an explosion.
Even if she wasn't injured, her stamina would be greatly depleted.
How was he supposed to fight now?
Even he hadn't expected the blue-haired brat to be this strong.
"What kind of monsters are these two brats!"
The strong urge to complain was suppressed in his heart.
Now was not the time to think about these things. He could only hope that Charlotte Linlin wasn't too heavily injured and that she would send a message back to call for reinforcements.
To be honest, for someone like him, asking for reinforcements was somewhat embarrassing.
But they had fallen into such a predicament. Even peak world-class powerhouses, even Emperors, would have to call their subordinates for help, otherwise, these two siblings might both perish in this small Dressrosa today.
"Hmm! What is this..."
At this moment, whether it was Kaido, the Marines, or Perospero and his group who were rushing towards Charlotte Linlin's crash site, everyone stared in surprise at the deep pit where Charlotte Linlin had fallen.
Zzzzt Zzzt Zzzt!!
A bolt of lightning traversed the void at extreme speed and arrived beside Kouta.
Guina stepped out from the current. Standing beside Kouta, with the scabbard in her left hand and the hilt of Wado Ichimon tightly gripped in her right, she looked down at the deep pit not far away, a look of gravity in her eyes.
