CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 154: KARL AND CHARLOTTE LINLIN, A CLASH OF CONQUEROR’S HAKI

"Mamamama... I’m getting impatient waiting, Dragon Knight Karl."

As soon as Karl entered the hall, an aura that made the Charlotte brothers’ bodies stiffen and uncontrollably feel fear, swept through the entire hall like a storm.

"Ma... Mama..."

Looking at Charlotte Linlin, whose eyes were flashing with red light, Charlotte Perospero thought his mother was about to lose her reason again and was about to say something.

Boom—

Zzzzz...

Before Charlotte Perospero could offer his advice, an aura no less powerful than Charlotte Linlin’s roared from behind him.

The two auras, one from the front and one from the back, collided, creating dark red lightning in the air.

A fierce wind howled, overturning everything except the box in Karl’s hand.

"Everyone, get out of here immediately."

Seeing this, the expression under Charlotte Katakuri’s scarf changed drastically. He immediately shouted at his younger siblings who were not far away, watching the live broadcast with Charlotte Linlin.

As if awakened by their older brother’s words.

The siblings of the Charlotte Family quickly fled the castle hall.

At the same time...

The sky outside seemed to be affected by the Haki fluctuations formed by the two auras.

The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

Rumble rumble...

With waves of muffled thunder, white electric snakes writhed in the black clouds.

This sudden change in weather was captured by the steel bird that had arrived late and was projected all over the world.

In the perspective of the people of the world and Doflamingo, only Whole Cake Island and a few surrounding islands were covered by dark clouds.

The other islands were still blue above.

"It’s starting, it’s starting... The legendary clash of Conqueror’s Haki, an ability that only appears in one in several million people, powerful enough to affect the weather."

Morgans shouted excitedly, "Are the natural-born monsters of the new and old eras, the Dragon Knight and BIG-MOM, about to fight?"

"Now, let my cameraman take us down for a closer look!"

After finishing, Morgans said to Doflamingo, "I’m counting on you, Doffy!"

"Fuffuffuffu... leave it to me!"

Doflamingo grinned.

Then, his tall figure, as if using Moonwalk, ran down from the sky towards Whole Cake Island below.

With the high-speed flight, the perspective of the live broadcast was also rapidly descending.

Before long, a cake-shaped castle quickly entered the eyes of the world.

Through the open doors, the people of the world could vaguely see two figures facing each other in the hall.

Just as Doflamingo was preparing to use his fruit ability to cover the steel bird with Haki to protect the Den Den Mushi inside.

That incomparably domineering aura, which affected the weather and made the weak unable to even stand steady, suddenly disappeared.

The sky was still covered with dark clouds, but the writhing electric snakes were gone, and there were no more waves of muffled thunder.

Looking up at the sky, Doflamingo did not turn the perspective upwards. With a slight movement of his fingers, the steel bird quietly flew to the castle gate, presenting the upcoming conversation between the overlords of the seas to the people of the world.

In the castle hall.

"...Senior Linlin, I’ve long heard of your great name."

Seeing Charlotte Linlin proactively retract her Conqueror’s Haki, her violent mood had clearly calmed down a bit.

The corners of Karl’s mouth lifted slightly, and he greeted Charlotte Linlin very politely, in the manner of a junior.

"Mamamama... Dragon Knight Karl, what you’ve done has really put me in a dilemma!"

The red light in Charlotte Linlin’s eyes dissipated a little, but it was still very terrifying.

Just a single glance, through the white screen, made countless people of the world feel fear.

Some children were even scared to tears and fainted on the spot.

"Therefore, I am willing to put up all my cash as a stake."

Karl, however, smiled without any apology.

Then, he placed the several-meter-high, vertically standing rectangular box in front of Charlotte Linlin and said, "As a greeting gift, the chefs of my Gran Tesoro have specially made a cake for you, Senior Linlin."

"Cake!!!"

Almost as soon as Karl’s words fell, Charlotte Linlin’s style changed abruptly.

Looking at the several-meter-high long box, the terrifying red light in Charlotte Linlin’s eyes was instantly replaced by a dazzling golden light, and her face also showed an expression of pleasant surprise.

This scene made the countless scared people of the world look stunned.

Seeing this, Karl opened the box...

Inside the box was a cardboard box packaging.

After opening the cardboard box, an exquisitely made, several-meter-high cake, with a Charlotte Linlin-like figure on top, immediately entered Charlotte Linlin’s eyes.

"So cute!"

Charlotte Linlin immediately let out a childlike cheer.

Then, her eight-meter-eight huge body, with heavy steps, trotted towards the cake.

"This guy..."

Seeing their mother’s appearance, the only one of the Four Sweet Commanders who hadn’t left the hall, his gaze towards Karl couldn’t help but change slightly.

Initially, he had thought that Karl was an existence with extremely powerful strength, but a personality as arrogant and conceited as a young man’s.

Unexpectedly, the other party had such a polite and considerate side.

"Senior Linlin, after you’ve finished eating, let’s find another place to fight."

Looking at Charlotte Linlin, who had destroyed the exquisite cake in one bite, Karl said, "I am not a pirate, and this trip is only for a challenge, not a life-and-death battle."

"Whole Cake Island is your base. If we fight here, you might have some reservations and not be able to display your full strength, so let’s find another place."

"Mamamama... I didn’t expect you to be so considerate. I agree."

Charlotte Linlin, who was in a very happy mood now, while rapidly demolishing the cake before her, looked at Karl with eyes full of appreciation and said, "I like you. Do you want to become my son-in-law?"

"...Let’s forget about that, Senior Linlin."

Karl shook his head and smiled, "I have another half."

"Is that so? What a pity!"

Perhaps out of respect for an existence of the same level, or perhaps because her favorable impression of Karl was very good right now, Charlotte Linlin did not force him.

After eating the cake Karl had brought, and licking her fingers clean, Charlotte Linlin’s innocent appearance once again returned to that of an overlord of the seas, and she said with a ferocious smile, "Then let’s begin. Where are we going to fight?"

"To the game field I’ve specially prepared."

Karl opened the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and dialed a number, "Nami, you can put down the stage."

"Roger."

Nami, who had been following behind Karl, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Doflamingo, immediately threw a flirtatious wink at Karl through the Den Den Mushi.
