CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 157: WHITE-HOT, A WORLDVIEW-SHATTERING BATTLE

Physique is inferior, Armament Haki is on the same level...

This slight gap doomed Charlotte Linlin’s irrational attacks to be nothing more than powerless rage.

The large and small fists, wreathed in Armament Haki, continuously collided.

Shockwaves far surpassing the previous ones mercilessly pounded the ground.

The already cracked earth let out a series of unbearable cracking sounds.

The thick dust cloud had just risen, and before it could spread, it was blown away by the shockwaves.

On the cracked earth, it was not an evenly matched battle.

With each clash of fists, the air around Karl’s and Charlotte Linlin’s fists would densely contract, forming a transparent white energy halo that expanded outwards.

When the two were hit by the halo, Karl’s body did not move an inch, while Charlotte Linlin was pushed back several steps.

The result of every clash of fists was the same.

Therefore...

In the eyes of the world, in the martial arts confrontation between Karl and Charlotte Linlin, the former had the absolute advantage, while the latter was at a disadvantage.

Whoosh—

After exchanging blows a dozen times, Karl, who was aware that his normal-state strength steadily suppressed Charlotte Linlin’s.

He took the initiative to end this contest of monstrous strength between natural-born monsters.

Charlotte Linlin’s punch, as heavy as a mountain, once again came crashing down.

But this time, it hit nothing.

The sound of air being torn apart reached his ears. Karl, who was on the ground, had disappeared at some point.

When he reappeared, he was magnified in Charlotte Linlin’s vision.

Boom—!

The fist did not land on the ground, nor did it have time to create any astonishing destruction.

Karl’s fist landed first on Charlotte Linlin’s face, which, due to her loss of emotional control, looked particularly ferocious.

The biting airflow swept the dust floating in the air into it.

Golden lightning coiled around Karl’s fist.

With a loud bang.

The ferocious and furious expression on Charlotte Linlin’s face suddenly froze.

Then, a long-forgotten pain emerged from her face.

Her eight-meter-eight huge body instantly turned into an afterimage and was sent flying backwards.

This time, she flew back two or three hundred meters.

This scene of the small defeating the large once again shook the whole world.

Even a Warlord of the Sea like Doflamingo was scared by Karl’s strength.

Doflamingo knew that Karl’s strength was great; even his other partner, Kaido, was no match for Karl.

But, he had only learned of the process and results through the newspapers.

This was Doflamingo’s first time watching a battle at the level of an overlord of the seas.

Doflamingo, who was standing in the sky using Sky Walk, was fortunate enough to be the first close-range spectator.

Even Morgans, the host, only dared to comment from the golden stage outside the island, through the giant white screen.

Doflamingo, who possessed Observation Haki, knew exactly what kind of terrifying power was contained in the fists of the two natural-born monsters.

Never mind being wrapped in Armament Haki, even a normal punch, if Doflamingo took it head-on, he would be very uncomfortable.

If he took a punch wrapped in Haki, even if he defended with Armament Haki, he would probably be seriously injured in an instant.

These two natural-born monsters were simply existences of another dimension.

The flying Charlotte Linlin, her huge body shattered the large rocks that protruded from the cracked ground as she flew backwards.

Bang!

When she fell to the ground, the sound of a heavy object landing seemed to have entered the ears of the people of the world.

A huge dust cloud rose.

A huge figure quickly stood up again in the dust cloud.

"Zeus, Prometheus, Napoleon!"

A cold soul aura, like Conqueror’s Haki, instantly formed a force field that enveloped both Karl and Doflamingo in the sky.

As if he had sensed something, Doflamingo quickly put some more distance between himself and the two monsters.

Immediately after, a ball of golden flame appeared in the dust cloud.

Zzzzz...

The next second, lightning different from the purple lightning of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, also like an electric snake, writhed continuously in the dust cloud.

Finally...

"Elbaf’s Spear: Ikoku Sovereignty—Boom!"

A giant shockwave, like Karl’s Six King Gun, tore through the spreading dust cloud and roared towards Karl.

As the dust cloud was torn apart, the change in Charlotte Linlin also entered the eyes of the world.

The ferocity and rage that had appeared on her face due to her loss of emotional control had now disappeared.

In its place was a line of dried blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, but her face wore the smile of a powerhouse who had regained her reason.

On her left and right sides, a golden and a black anthropomorphic object had appeared at some point.

One was entirely golden, burning with flames as hot as the sun; the other was entirely black, flickering with purple arcs of electricity.

In her hand, she held a giant longsword that had transformed from a pink hat.

These were the three great Homies that Charlotte Linlin had created by using her Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit to configure her soul.

They were: the sun, Prometheus; the thundercloud, Zeus; and the emperor’s sword, Napoleon.

When Charlotte Linlin summoned them, it meant that she was starting to get serious and was using her Devil Fruit ability.

Looking at the roaring giant shockwave, Karl assumed a stance for a charging straight punch.

Boom————!

Using Life Return to mobilize the physical energy in his body, Karl threw a similarly huge, transparent white pillar of light.

As soon as the two giant shockwaves collided.

A hemispherical, giant, transparent white dome of light instantly enveloped an area of several thousand meters.

Immediately after, a deafening explosion produced a hurricane-like shockwave that ravaged a whole area of land and sky nearby.

Doflamingo, who had once again put some distance between them, had his pink feathered coat blown about, flying higher than his head.

"Two monsters!"

Looking at the giant mushroom cloud that rose from the island with the explosion.

Doflamingo, who had stabilized himself in the air, cursed inwardly while controlling the camera to pull back, projecting the full view of the mushroom cloud onto the screens all over the world.

Looking at the giant mushroom cloud, which would require an unknown number of cannonballs to create.

The people of the world and the pirates, who had been speechless since the start of Karl’s and Charlotte Linlin’s battle with Haki-wrapped fists.

At this moment, besides being dumbfounded, they could do nothing.

The gradually intensifying battle between the overlords of the seas had shattered the worldview of these weaklings an unknown number of times.

Is such power really something that humans can possess?

An expression of doubting their existence appeared on the faces of the vast majority of the people of the world.

Such a thought appeared in their hearts.
