Lujet's expression was very grim as she said in a low voice, "Phantom is so powerful now. Is it necessary to go this far against a remnant of a Four Emperor crew like us?"
"What are you talking about? Compared to Charlotte Linlin's brutality, we at Phantom are considered the more moderate faction."
Vladimir smiled faintly, looking at her playfully. "As for you, you're not even a member of the Charlotte family, yet you're so loyal to Charlotte Linlin. Are you interested in switching sides to Phantom?"
Of course, he was just saying that; he didn't think much of a mere Dream-Dream Fruit user.
"I will not betray them!"
Lujet took a deep breath. "Vice-Captain Aizen, this is the Dream Realm, our main battlefield. You dare to come alone? Aren't you being a bit too confident!"
She calmed herself slightly and signaled to the others.
In response, Vladimir didn't stop them. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "Calling for reinforcements? This is just a portion of the remnants, isn't it? The Four Sweet Commanders… no, now it's three Sweet Commanders. Are they not here? And where is Charlotte Linlin? I know she's still alive, and in pretty good condition."
Although Shadow Fiend couldn't teleport behind BIG·MOM, he could still sense her condition to some extent, knowing that she had likely escaped mortal danger.
To be able to recover from a pierced heart… it had to be said that the Four Emperor Pirate Crews indeed had skilled ship doctors.
No, it wasn't a matter of medical skill level, but perhaps some Devil Fruit ability, or maybe the Soul-Soul Fruit itself possessed healing powers.
Thinking this, Vladimir suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked up at the sky ahead.
A large door suddenly opened in the air, and then several figures emerged from within.
"Reinforcements arrived quite quickly," Vladimir chuckled. "Good, that saves me the trouble of searching everywhere."
The figures emerging from the aerial gate jumped down one after another.
At a glance, Vladimir easily recognized several familiar faces.
Baccarat, Baron Tamago, Randolph, Diesel…
There were several fighters alone, including executives, and even three Sweet Commanders.
Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Cracker!
Their bounties ranged from just over 100 million to over 1 billion, a truly luxurious lineup.
And just as the group descended, a plump figure slowly emerged from the large door in the sky.
It was none other than the Four Emperor Charlotte Linlin!
"Hee hee hee… You are Phantom's Vice-Captain?"
As soon as she appeared, Charlotte Linlin glared at Vladimir with bloodshot eyes. "Your Captain pierced my heart back then, but luckily I didn't die! Now you, the Vice-Captain, are invading the Dream Realm. This is too much!"
As she spoke, she leaped down, landing with a boom by the stream.
"I'm not surprised you're alive, but I am surprised you're so lively."
Vladimir's tone was calm, as if catching up with an old friend. "Could you explain to me how you recovered?"
From when Vladimir destroyed the BIG·MOM Pirates to this point, three to four months had passed.
His recovery was considered normal, but his recovery to this extent was astonishing.
"Hee hee hee…"
Charlotte Linlin let out two strange laughs, her killing intent unmasked within her laughter. "'Shinigami' Aizen? Your Captain only dares to call himself Emperor, but you dare to call yourself God. Perfect, today I'll kill your Phantom 'God'!"
Hearing this, Lujet immediately nodded and softly chanted, "Dream Expansion!"
As her voice fell, a special energy wave radiated from her center, sweeping over everyone present.
When the energy passed over Vladimir, it was suddenly blocked by something and then vanished completely.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin narrowed her eyes. "Are you a swordsman? I'll give you a chance to draw your sword! From now on, I won't be merciful and fight you one-on-one!"
If it were a Dominator-level executive, she might have personally engaged.
But a Vice-Captain, she couldn't be sure. Even with the absolute home-field advantage within the Dream Realm, she wouldn't be foolish enough to fight Vladimir one-on-one.
"Hehehehe…"
Vladimir couldn't help but laugh. "Mere human, don't speak so boastfully. The reason I'm called Shinigami is because I truly am a Shinigami. For you, calling me 'God' is also perfectly acceptable."
"Shinigami?" Everyone frowned, a bad premonition arising…
Vladimir continued, "Whether it's one person or a group of you attacking me, to me, distinguishing between one speck of dust or two specks of dust that need to be swept away is beyond the naked eye."
Hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's face turned ashen, veins bulging on her forehead. "Good, good, good! As expected of Phantom! Today, I'll settle the score with you! Attack, all of you!"
She roared, and instantly, dozens of figures charged towards Vladimir.
Whether they were fighters, executives, or Sweet Commanders, as long as they had a certain combat capability, the moment BIG·MOM gave the order, these individuals attacked Vladimir from all directions without blind spots.
"Die! Phantom!"
Charlotte Smoothie shouted. With her long legs, she was the first to approach. She drew the long sword on her back and slashed towards Vladimir.
This woman possessed outstanding combat power, with a bounty of 900 million, nearing Admiral-level strength.
"When you attack and shout 'Die,' that's what the weak say. You… are too arrogant."
Vladimir's expression was calm, as if the ones attacking him weren't the elite forces of a Four Emperor Pirate Crew, but a group of monkeys wielding swords.
Facing the encirclement, Vladimir lightly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers extending slightly.
"Kidō #61: Six Rods of Light Prison!"
Dong!
A muffled sound, and six light fragments appeared out of thin air. These fragments locked onto Charlotte Smoothie, instantly piercing her waist and fixing her in place, unable to move at all.
"What!?" Smoothie's face was shocked. She found herself unable to break free from this restraint.
And at this moment, an attack landed on Vladimir.
It was Baccarat, with a bounty of 300 million, a user of the Paw-Paw Fruit.
This person had long been impatient and attacked first, now punching Vladimir's chest with all his might.
"Phantom!!!" he roared, his Haki condensing into a single punch.
Boom!
