"How could she be so strong."
Charlotte Linlin stared at the unharmed pair, her eyes widened, her pupils contracting sharply, and her body involuntarily retreated two steps.
She couldn't believe there were such strong people in the world.
The attack just now was her strongest, yet it couldn't make them budge half a step.
"Is this a human?"
"Impossible, impossible, impossible."
Charlotte Linlin shook her head repeatedly as if she had lost her mind, refusing to accept the outcome.
"Alright, I've said my piece, and I've let you attack. It's time to send you on your way."
At some unknown moment, Kong Tai had appeared before Charlotte Linlin's neck.
He calmly stared at her neck, his gaze like a blade, instantly bringing Charlotte Linlin to her senses. A chill ran down her neck, raising goosebumps.
"Danger."
Charlotte Linlin lowered her eyelids, looking at the little brat who had suddenly appeared before her as if she had seen death itself. She instinctively retreated.
However, Kong Tai wouldn't give her the chance.
The dark blade, like a vortex that devoured souls, instantly sliced through the air, slashing horizontally across her neck, leaving a long line in the sky.
*Pfft—!*
Charlotte Linlin's retreating body froze. The blood-red haze in her eyes receded, with orange taking over. The bloodshot gradually disappeared.
And the light in her eyes vanished along with the blood.
Charlotte Linlin looked at Kong Tai, her mouth opening to speak, but instead of words, blood spilled out.
From the moment she set foot on the sea, her life could be considered legendary.
Although the latter half of her life was spent raising children, her unwavering Haki easily secured her position as one of the Four Emperors.
She possessed ambition and the confidence to establish a kingdom where all races and beings could live together without hierarchy, wishing for all peoples to become "family."
She succeeded, founding Totto Land.
Yet, this grand ideal, guided by her own wicked and selfish nature, gradually became the shackles of Totto Land.
She was aware of this.
In truth, she wasn't always like this.
When did she become this way?
Countless images flashed through her mind, finally settling on her sixth birthday banquet, on the nun's aged face.
"Was it you?"
"Did you let yourself be eaten by me, intentionally merging with my soul?"
At this moment, she felt like she had thought of many things, yet also nothing at all. As the last flicker of light faded from her eyes, a hint of relief appeared on her lips.
She couldn't explain why she felt relieved. wap.kanshuwu.net
*Pfft—!*
Her massive head shot into the sky, then plummeted down just like her body.
Charlotte Linlin was dead, just like Kaido, decapitated.
After her death, the three Homies she had created from fragments of her own soul naturally dispersed with the wind.
Without Zeus, Nami had lost a powerful ally!
But this was of no concern to Kong Tai.
Kong Tai tilted his head, looking at the spatial blade in his hand, which was becoming unstable and riddled with cracks. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
The spatial blade was like an extra-dimensional space compressed infinitely into a mass, yielding special energy.
This energy was also consumed. After killing Kaido and blocking Charlotte Linlin's final, strongest attack, cracks had appeared. Now, instability had set in. If he hadn't suppressed it with all his might, it might have exploded by now.
"Never mind, one less is one less!"
Kong Tai shook his head. He gripped the hilt of the spatial blade with his right hand, then cupped his left hand, bending his body into a shooting stance.
A phantom bow gradually formed in his left hand, the domain acting as the bow, and the spatial blade as the arrow.
*Whoosh—!*
He released his right hand, sending the faltering spatial blade towards the sky.
The dark spatial blade streaked across the sky, like a sharp blade drawn across a white paper.
Wherever the spatial blade passed, space was torn apart, leaving a long, dark rift stretching to the heavens.
"What is this kid doing?"
The Marines, who had been watching Charlotte Linlin, were forced to look to the sky due to the invisible pressure emanating from the spatial blade.
As soon as the spatial blade left Kong Tai's hand, although it made no sound, it instantly devoured the surrounding space, causing the entire sky to swirl with the blade, transforming into a vortex.
This primal sense of danger, acting upon their minds, caused everyone's hearts to sink, as if a great stone were pressing down on them.
They watched the sky, and suddenly their pupils contracted sharply.
Above, at the end of the black rift, the entire sky suddenly caved inward to an extreme. It might have happened in an instant or over a long time.
When the space collapsed to a certain extent, it expanded outwards from the inside with extreme force, and finally exploded.
*BOOM—!*
The violent explosion instantly engulfed the entire sky.
*Crack, crack, crack!!*
Accompanying the explosion were countless grotesque cracks, like centipedes.
The cracks were dark, instantly spreading across the sky, filling everyone's vision as far as the eye could see, like the sky falling, like the end of the world.
"This, this, this, this..."
Momonosuke and other Marines stared at the spatial cracks in the sky, their faces turning pale, their voices laced with unprecedented tension.
"The spatial rift from a month ago."
Garp remained calm. He looked up at the sky. Although his eyes were full of gravity, his tone was relatively steady.
It now seemed that this kid's black energy far surpassed everyone's imagination. If this thing were unleashed on Marine Headquarters, on Mary Geoise...
Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his life.
It was like an ordinary person facing a true god, filled with a sense of powerlessness.
"What does this kid want to do?"
Kizaru retracted his gaze, turned to Garp, and said in a grave tone, "Besides them, only we are left here. This kid isn't trying to intimidate us, is he!"
If it was a deterrent, he admitted, the kid had succeeded.
This thing, let alone him, even if all three Admirals were here, if the kid unleashed one on them, they would be as good as dead, if not dead outright.
"Truly terrifying!"
Kizaru sighed.
Who knew this kid harbored something so fearsome.
It could easily slice through the defenses of a Four Emperor, making them bow down, and now it could be fired like cannonballs, creating an explosion that truly shattered space.
He could feel that the dark rift in the sky was not an air current, but a true spatial rift. At such close proximity, he could even sense an aura from the rift that did not belong to this world.
"Another dimension?"
He didn't know. There was a stirring within him, but also hesitation and fear.
Towards the unknown, even as an Admiral, he, like ordinary people, felt curiosity, hesitation, and fear.
