"This damned attack!"
Soul Conversion, the sun in her left hand, thunder in her right... Charlotte Linlin had used every attack she could, but all of it was only enough to barely resist one wave of Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship.
The attacks of Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship were terrifying and endless.
Although each attack was powerful, Charlotte Linlin wasn't afraid of such strong attacks. What she truly feared was an attack with no end in sight.
Huge sword marks appeared on Charlotte Linlin's body, a sign of her severe injuries. Charlotte Linlin panted rapidly, and brilliant light erupted from her left and right hands, once again batting away the terrifying ghostly sword strikes falling from the sky.
Feeling her stamina almost depleted, a strange thought suddenly appeared in Charlotte Linlin's mind.
"Am I... really going to die here today?"
...
Ye Chen thought the same.
After his battle with him, Charlotte Linlin's stamina was already greatly depleted, and then she directly faced the Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship, which was known for its attack power.
Even if Charlotte Linlin managed to hold on, Ye Chen could easily cut her down.
Or rather, to be able to endure until this point, she truly lived up to her reputation as a Four Emperors-level expert!
But in the next moment, the Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship broke through.
"Wait a minute... what's going on?!" Ye Chen frowned, looking at her original spot. Charlotte Linlin had vanished without a trace at some unknown point.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't feel angry; he pressed his lips together, a look of surprise in his heart. Because he felt this ability seemed somewhat familiar.
"...This feeling, is it the ability of that strange Devil Fruit from before?" Ye Chen suddenly remembered something.
Wasn't this the ability Charlotte Linlin used to betray the Underground Four Kings and escape directly from the Four Kings battlefield back to Whole Cake Island?
"The Transfer-Transfer Fruit user... I actually forgot about that!" Ye Chen's gaze changed deeply several times, and he quickly confirmed that Charlotte Linlin must still be on Whole Cake Island.
Ye Chen closed his eyes, his Observation Haki, which allowed him to hear the voices of all things, continuously spread outwards, enveloping the entire Whole Cake Island. The scenes of the entire Whole Cake Island entered his eyes one by one.
Big Mom, as a Four Emperors-level pirate crew, was indeed powerful. Under the attacks of several Four Emperors-level experts, she didn't perish immediately.
Yes, not perishing immediately was the greatest affirmation of her ability. After all, they were Four Emperors-level experts.
However, the more Ye Chen looked, the tighter his brows furrowed, because even with his highest-level Observation Haki, "listening to the voices of all things," he still couldn't find any trace of Charlotte Linlin.
Was she hidden too well? Ye Chen nodded in his heart, then shook his head. It could definitely be affirmed that the opponent was hidden very well.
But it was very possible that Charlotte Linlin's current location just happened to be able to block Observation Haki.
All things in the world generate and counteract each other; there is no absolutely invincible ability. With the Four Emperors-level foundation of the Big Mom Pirates reigning over the seas, the existence of such a special place was not surprising.
"But this way... it's a bit troublesome!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Although he said it was troublesome, a faint smile played on the corner of his mouth, indicating a hint of eagerness.
Ye Chen spun around and suddenly appeared on Slifer the Sky Dragon. Immediately, he let out a voice that echoed throughout Whole Cake Island.
"All forces belonging to the Emperor Descend Pirate Crew, withdraw!"
Hashirama Senju, Esdeath, and Ulquiorra, who were currently besieging the remaining pirates, all paused upon hearing this.
They naturally wouldn't believe that Ye Chen had a sudden change of heart and was preparing to let the Big Mom Pirates go. Although various strange thoughts whirled in their minds, their bodies showed no hesitation.
In a few instant movements, they soared into the air, appearing on the back of Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Slifer the Sky Dragon sensed Ye Chen's thoughts and abruptly flew upwards. In a short while, the people on Whole Cake Island could only see a tiny black dot.
"They're withdrawing..."
"Are we safe?"
On the ground, the remnants of the Big Mom Pirates looked up at the sky and murmured to themselves, their expressions extremely complex, a mix of relief and pain.
This time, the Big Mom Pirates had paid a far, far too great price. Fortunately, the Big Mom Pirates finally endured and were not completely annihilated by the Emperor Descend's attack.
However, Katakuri, at this moment, looked up at that tiny black dot in the sky, his eyes unfocused, sweat rolling down his forehead in large drops.
Smoothie was right beside Katakuri, watching him, her expression instantly becoming tense.
Katakuri was Charlotte Linlin's second son, one of the Big Mom Pirates' Four Sweet Commanders, with a bounty of 1,057,000,000 Berries. His strength was extremely formidable. He was a Logia-type "Mochi-Mochi Fruit" user, and his Observation Haki was so powerful that he could see fragments of the future.
And looking at Katakuri's current appearance, he seemed to have seen a very unfortunate future.
Katakuri didn't answer. His eyes revealed extreme horror, an expression that could even be called despair.
"Unstoppable... unavoidable..."
High in the sky.
Ye Chen stood on Slifer the Sky Dragon's back, slowly stacking his palms. The energy within his body had never circulated so rapidly as it did now, almost reaching an extreme.
"Charlotte Linlin, you're hiding on Whole Cake Island, I know that! And the place you're hiding makes it very difficult for me to find you."
"But it doesn't matter... Since I can't find you, then I'll just destroy the entire Whole Cake Island."
Ye Chen's gaze was as deep as water, and terrifying energy fluctuations suddenly erupted. The Rinnegan surged with a fearsome power.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
A small black ball slowly appeared, then fell downwards. A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, and Whole Cake Island trembled.
Many pirates had an ominous premonition and rushed to the edge of the island, attempting to jump into the sea to escape.
But it was no use. They seemed to be unaffected by gravity in mid-air, being swallowed into the ever-growing pitch-black giant sphere.
Chibaku Tensei, swallowing everything...
