Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Using loopholes to arrest

"Is Uchiha trying to provoke Big Mom?!"

Charlotte's expression was grim.

She was clearly very uncomfortable; after all, she only had one Sweet Commander left under her, but compared to an Admiral, the gap was too wide.

This was forcing her to personally enter the fray, and among the Four Emperors on the field, she would be the first to be forced into action. Wouldn't that be humiliating?

"We've killed so many of your people. Is this just a provocation?"

"A dignified Four Emperor wouldn't even be able to defeat my subordinates, would she?"

Uchiha Tamahiko was also not afraid of making a big fuss.

Among the Four Emperors, with the exception of Red-Haired Shanks whose strength was somewhat unknown, the other Four Emperors were basically out in the open. They posed no threat to Uchiha, much like how the Beasts Pirates viewed the Donflamingo pirates back then—they had value for exploitation, but fundamentally could not threaten their position.

Moreover, these unstable elements would have to be dealt with sooner or later. After today's events, the Four Emperors no longer held much value, so he would let Kuzan handle them.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

As he spoke, Kuzan immediately took action. A chilling aura spread across the entire battlefield. Perospero only managed to raise his candy cane but hadn't even used his ability before he was frozen solid and unable to move.

Most of the pirates observing from the periphery had never seen an Admiral in action, because those who had encountered and seen an Admiral fight were usually either captured or dead.

Except for connections like Luffy, who managed to escape from Kuzan's hands several times, other pirates did not have such good luck.

Big Mom's people glared angrily at Kuzan from a distance, but when asked to step forward and confront this formidable enemy, not a single person dared to stand out. The title of former Admiral was enough to deter many.

"Then I'll let you know the consequences of enraging a Four Emperor!"

"I'll be your opponent, Kuzan!"

Charlotte no longer sat. She knew that if she didn't act now, Big Mom would be looked down upon by the world, and her title as a Four Emperor would no longer be recognized.

She rose from her chair and walked towards Kuzan, step by step.

Along the way, her Homies appeared one after another, following behind her like a painting.

Kuzan did not retreat; he stood his ground, watching the massive Charlotte walk towards him. He had clashed with Big Mom before, but they had always been brief and not serious fights due to various concerns. But now, he had less pressure and only wanted to eliminate these pirates who were wreaking havoc!

"It's still not too late to retreat, Kuzan."

"If we really fight, I won't hold back."

Charlotte said, looking down at Kuzan.

"Ice Age!"

Kuzan's eyes were cold as he immediately changed the terrain to increase his side's chances of victory.

The entire battle arena was rapidly frozen, including other battlefields in the distance.

"Troublesome fellow!"

Crocodile frowned, smoking his cigar. He was currently grappling with Edward Weevil, and the muddy terrain, which had been perfect for him, was suddenly changed, making it harder for him to create sand.

Edward Weevil was furious at this moment. He had been dragged around for several hours and hadn't landed a single hit on his opponent, which made him incredibly angry, like a raging monkey from Mount Emei.

For Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo, two Paramecia Devil Fruit users, there wasn't much impact. Law continuously used his Operating Room ability to restrain Doflamingo, trying to find an opening to use Gamma Knife for a serious injury.

On another battlefield, a guy challenging Yasopp didn't evade the Ice Age and was directly frozen solid.

"Heavenly Fire!"

Charlotte immediately raised her right hand. Prometheus, floating in the sky, directly condensed a large amount of flames and spat them towards Kuzan.

The power of the flames was comparable to Ace's Fire Fist.

Kuzan waved his right hand, and a massive ice pillar rose from the ground, directly colliding with the pillar of fire.

The commotion from their battle was immense, only comparable to the recent fight between Might Guy and Bullet. The previously divided battlefields suddenly became a chaotic melee.

It was impossible to determine a winner in a short time. Unless a weakness was found or one side had overwhelming power, they would spend hours just probing each other.

All the powerful and influential people across the entire sea were drawn to the battle on the field, with the excitement rivaling the live broadcast of the Marineford War. This time, no one would cut the feed, as everyone was watching with the intention of enjoying the show.

"Seven countries now."

North Blue, Uchiha Tamahiko's wood clone was inside a kingdom's castle.

All the royalty present were controlled and restrained by him, while the guard forces received orders to gather in a secluded area to await commands, reducing the difficulty for the Revolutionary Army to control the country.

These countries, more or less, had supporters of the Revolutionary Army, so the Revolutionary Army's actions were very smooth.

The rest was up to the Revolutionary Army's capabilities, whether they could persuade the people of North Blue to support them. This was their task, and the pressure from the World Government would be handled by Uchiha Tamahiko.

Over the past four days, more than 80% of the countries in North Blue had been occupied by the Revolutionary Army, but only less than 20% of the news had been disseminated.

The special forces team sent by Konoha helped the Revolutionary Army resolve many hidden troubles. Moreover, the Revolutionary Army's main focus in the past few days was to control the royalty, and they hadn't openly appeared. So, even if the World Government personnel felt suspicious, they didn't report it immediately.

However, reports of five countries being conquered by the Revolutionary Army still caught the attention of the Gorosei, who ordered Akainu to arrange for the Marine to assist in handling the situation. When did the Revolutionary Army dare to be so bold!

But the Marine's elite combat forces were all near Dressrosa, waiting to pick off pirates, and two Admirals were unavailable.

So, they casually arranged for several Marine Vice Admirals, led by Smoker, to depart and help the North Blue Marine solve the problem.

"Law!"

"How many more times are you going to pull the same trick?!"

Doflamingo said, somewhat enraged.

Because these past few days, whenever Trafalgar Law found himself outmatched or too heavily drained, he would directly concede, and without giving Doflamingo a chance to agree, he would use his Ope-Ope no Mi ability to escape.

Because he had to hold the arena, he hesitated several times and chose not to pursue Law, as Law's value to him wasn't as great now.

However, after Law recovered, he would challenge again. He had played this trick twice, and Doflamingo had fought Law a total of three times!

He was treating him like a dungeon boss to farm, wasn't he? Constantly coming to cause trouble, exploiting a bug, right?

His recovery speed wasn't as fast as Law's. Now, fighting Law, he no longer had the same strong suppressive power as before and felt immense pressure.

"I told you I would defeat you!"

Trafalgar Law said with firm eyes.

If he missed such a good opportunity, he didn't know when he would get another. Face didn't matter; he just wanted to win!

"You are under arrest!"

"Click!"

But before he could make his move, preparing to hit Doflamingo with another Gamma Knife, his pupils contracted. He felt danger, and just as his fingers spread, Sea Stone handcuffs were clamped onto his wrists.

Law turned his head to look and found it was Uchiha Tamahiko, who had appeared behind him at some unknown point. Seeing the Sea Stone handcuffs, his heart immediately sank. He hadn't even noticed how the other party had approached.

"Are the Four Emperors also going to break the rules?!"

Trafalgar Law suppressed the anger in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

He had thought that someone of an Emperor's status would at least care about their reputation, which was the basis of his probing, but he never expected to be ambushed now.

"You are suspected of exploiting a loophole in the competition and are now being arrested for processing. You will be released after the match ends."

"As a consequence, Doflamingo will also be penalized and disqualified. A new arena is now open, and we welcome new challengers."

Uchiha Tamahiko was also tired of watching. Was his Devil Fruit really that annoying when used?

Mainly, he kept jumping around, boring him to death. And he had always wanted to catch this guy and talk to him; he hadn't planned on killing him.

Doflamingo naturally dared not object. He adjusted his flamingo cape and stepped down from the stage, very angrily. It was too disgusting.

As for Trafalgar Law, Uchiha Tamahiko handed him over to the CP0 on the shore.

"I will be the challenger for this arena!"

At the same time, Rob Lucci stepped forward and said to the crowd. He also didn't want to miss this opportunity to fight. He wanted to see what level he was currently at.
