“Boom… Boom…”

  “Bang! Bang! Bang!”

  “Whoosh... Whoosh…”

  As Linlin screamed hysterically, a visible shockwave, apanied by a violent gust of wind, swept across the area. The ground cracked and shattered in all dires. Trees, wooden houses, gss, and crystal objects were bloart and scattered into the air.

  This was the result of Linlin successfully bining her Zoan-type Vampire form with her queror’s Haki, releasing a terrifyingly powerful and high-frequency ultrasonic shockwave. Its destructive force was unimaginable.

  “Ahhh... It’s unbearable!”

  “It’s Linlin’s ability, bined with queror’s Haki to release a high-frequency sonic wave!”

  “Everyone, get away from this isnd!”

  “No, I ’t move…”

  “Damn it, my head is spinning, my vision is blurring…”

  “Big Sis Linlin, please stop!”

  “My eardrums feel like they’re about to burst!”

  “Thud... Thud...”

  Out at sea, the normally calm waters of the Calm Belt were now ing with massive waves. Several warships he dreamlike isnd rocked violently in the esg storm. Even the giant Sea Kings in the area fled in pani the overwhelming aura and terrifying soundwaves.

  As the crewmembers of the Fallen Angel Pirates and Dreamnd rushed to their ships with their unscious rades, evero among them clutched their ears in pain. The sheer proximity to the isnd made it unbearable, and many were forced to their knees, pletely paralyzed.

  Those whose strength was below that of a Navy Rear Admiral had already passed out from the pressure.

  “Enough is enough!”

  At that moment, El’s eyes gleamed with iy. While the others were deeply affected by Linlin’s monstrous queror’s Haki and ultrasonic attacks, he was an exception.

  “Whoosh—” In the blink of an eye, an unparalleled, overwhelming queror’s Haki burst forth from El, surging toward the out-of-trol Linlin. The two forces—Linlin’s ultrasonifused Haki and El’s pure queror’s Haki—cshed violently.

  “Boom… Boom…”

  “Crack... Crack...”

  The ground trembled and shattered as waves of pressure exploded outward. Trees, debris, and rocks were flung into the air, and the sky was streaked with bd red lightning bolts that spread in all dires.

  A massive bd-red sphere formed as the two forces cshed, pushing against each other. Linlin’s queror’s Haki was swiftly overpowered and crushed.

  The moment the Haki vahe members of the Fallen Angel Pirates and Dreamnd breathed a collective sigh of relief, panting heavily, drenched in cold sweat.

  “Phew! We’re saved…”

  “Linlin’s scream was terrifying!”

  “Thank goodness… Boss El stopped Linlin!”

  “Hurry, set sail! Get away from the isnd!”

  “This is beyond us. Let’s leave it to El!”

  Rock, Jien, Streusen, and the others, rec from the intense pressure, quickly issued orders to get the ships moving away from the isnd. If El hadn’t intervened, and if Linlin’s soundwave-infused Haki had sted any lohey would’ve suffered far worse—burst eardrums, bleeding from the nose and mouth, or worse.

  “Shave!”

  In an instant, El disappeared from sight, his foot smming down as he propelled himself toward Linlin with incredible speed.

  “Whoosh—” Without using Haki, El’s massive fist crashed through the air like a onball, smashing into Linlin.

  “Bang!!”

  Had Linlin been in trol, her refined mastery of the three forms of Haki, thanks to El’s training over the years, would’ve allowed her to dodge or block the attack. However, in her current state, uo maintain her calm, Linlin’s Observation Haki was dulled, and she couldn’t rea time.

  She was sent flying.

  “Boom! Boom!”

  The earth shook as Linlin’s body plowed through trees, snapping one in half as her massive form was flung across the isnd like a onball. But just before she crashed into the o, her body exploded into a swarm of bats, which spread their wings and halted the force of her momentum, swiftly flying back toward the isnd.

  “Pop—”

  At the same time, blood-red fog billowed through the air as Linlin’s purple-b flickered, reappearing in multiple dires at once.

  “Pop... Pop... Pop...” The sound of ripping air filled the sky as a series of blood-red sshes tore through the atmosphere, raining down on El with ferocious iy.

  “Bang… Bang…”

  “Boom… Boom…”

  But in the blink of an eye, El’s expression remained unged. His massive right hand swiped through the air, turning into a blur. The sshes, powerful enough to cleave through steel and mountains, were effortlessly deflected by El’s bare hand. They shot off into the distariking the earth and o far away.

  “Boom... Boom…”

  Massive sshes collided with the ground, creating deep, gaping chasms across the isnd, making those watg tremble with fear.

  “Bang!!”

  The moment, El’s eyes fshed. His foot smmed into the ground, and he disappeared, reappearing right in front of Linlin. Without warning, he drove his fist into her abdomen.

  But even as she flew backward from the impact, Linlin grinned wickedly, her voice dripping with violence. “It’s useless… Your attacks ’t hurt me. I’m immortal!”

  With a ugh, her body exploded once again.

  “Whoosh…” A swarm of blood-red bats flew into the air, regrouping a short distance away to reform her body.

  “Flowing Blood!” Linlin’s cws dripped with blood, which morphed into a sharp, deadly bde.

  Her aura brimming with murderous i, Linli El. “Elbaf’s Spear—”

  Her blood bde, glowing with crimson energy, surged forward with immense force.

  “Mighty Nation!”

  “Boom!”

  A terrifying n of energy tore through the atmosphere, streaking toward El.

  “Hero’s Spear!!”

  El’s expression remained calm. His right fist ched, veins bulging as he prepared to ter the blow.

  “Boom… Boom…”
