Chapter 294: Barrett's Plan
At the same time.
The newspaper published by the World Economic News Agency was like cold water poured into a hot oil pan.
The whole world was boiling again.
This time the headline of the newspaper was - Red Earl Redfield defeated miserably, life or death unknown!
The headline alone was enough to cause an uproar around the world.
Countless people were shocked.
Redfield was defeated miserably?
What a joke! ?
Pirates all over the world had this reaction subconsciously after seeing this headline in the newspaper.
Red Earl Redfield!
That is one of the powerhouses who dominate the New World.
An existence like this, even if they can't win against a siege, it should be easy to escape, so how could it be related to the word "miserable defeat"?
Just looking at the headline, the first reaction of most pirates was to directly question the authenticity of the news.
But considering the consistent credibility of the World Economic News Agency, they felt that they would not fabricate news on such matters. After all, making false reports on news that is enough to shake the sea is something only Morgans himself would do if he were crazy.
But at the same time, a question arose -
Who was it that defeated Redfield so miserably?
Almost everyone who thought of this question immediately took the newspaper and continued reading it quickly.
Then, they saw the photos published on the page proving Redfield's "miserable defeat". Who else could it be but Redfield kneeling on the ground without the image of a strong person! ! !
From his unwilling eyes and the knees sinking into the ground, it can be seen that he was under immense pressure when taking the photo.
Countless people were shocked.
"Redfield was caught? Hey, is the navy planning something big?"
"I don't know if the navy is planning something big, but there will be big news coming out of the pirates soon."
"Huh???"
"Charlotte Linlin's Big Mom Pirates should be at war with Nicholas."
"I remember Charlotte Linlin suddenly declared war on Nicholas, I didn't expect them to take action so soon."
"I wonder if the conflict between these powerhouses will affect us."
"And the Seven Warlords of the Sea system announced by the world government is really tempting..."
After the newspaper with the big news flew all over the world, it caused quite a heated discussion.
It can be said that whether it was Redfield's defeat, or the upcoming war between Charlotte Linlin and Nicholas, or the Seven Warlords of the Sea system suddenly launched by the world government.
What many people felt most directly was the approaching storm in the entire world.
"The once peaceful sea is probably going to become turbulent again."
"Yes, there is always a feeling... that the world is about to usher in a huge change."
"I have the same feeling, the current world situation is changing too fast."
"I'm going back to the first half of the Grand Line, and then I want to find a way back to the South Blue. I feel like the world will be very chaotic during this time."
Through newspapers, information spread to every corner of the world at an extremely fast speed.
People were shocked by Red's defeat.
After accepting the fact, they felt deeply uneasy about the increasingly turbulent world situation.
New World, a certain sea area.
A giant battleship like a white whale was sailing on the sea, breaking through the waves.
Behind it on both sides were two similar ships.
This white whale-like battleship is Edward Newgate's flagship, the Moby Dick.
On the deck, Whitebeard sat imposingly on a chair specially built for him, holding a huge wine bowl in his hand.
In his other hand, he was holding a newspaper reporting Redfield's miserable defeat and Marco's latest bounty order.
Whitebeard lowered his head and stared at Marco's photo on the bounty order, without moving his gaze for a long time.
"What an irresponsible son! He hasn't come to see this old man for so long."
After a while, Whitebeard let out a slightly deep voice.
But his tone was full of relief.
On the other side of the ship, Marshall D. Teach was also holding Marco's bounty order, frowning deeply.
New World, a certain island.
This is an island that is more suitable for people to live on, and even the town on the island has developed to a considerable scale.
At the same time, many pirates also regard this place as a place to replenish supplies.
There are many such places in the New World.
Without the garrison of the navy, they rely on the flag of a certain big pirate to do business with other pirates.
After all, even the navy, whose power extends across the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, can hardly reach into the New World.
At this moment.
Black smoke was billowing everywhere in the building complex in this town, and even some buildings had been engulfed by fire.
The billowing black smoke soared into the sky, forming a sharp contrast with the clear sky.
The once noisy streets were now only filled with the sound of flames burning.
A pile of miserable corpses lay scattered on the streets.
Green-headed flies constantly flying in the air landed on the corpses, their bellies bulging and exuding a rotten smell.
Further away is the central area of the building complex.
There are not many corpses there.
On the fence of the fountain, a burly man in military uniform with long blond hair was sitting at this time.
This man is Douglas Barrett, who is searching the world for Roger.
"Interesting, interesting..."
Barrett held a newspaper in his hand and grinned, revealing a dangerous smile.
Around him were raging fires.
The high temperature that ordinary people could not bear filled the center of the town, and even the fountain had dried up.
But Barrett, sitting there, seemed to be unaffected at all.
In fact.
He destroyed this city, and the corpses scattered everywhere on the streets were also caused by him.
After all, if these people were willing to honestly cooperate with him to complete the plan, he might have been merciful enough to let these people go.
But those who have no strength and do not know the times are not worth pitying.
This concept can be said to have existed in Barrett's style of doing things since he was a child.
Life?
In Barrett's eyes, who grew up in war, it was just a string of cold numbers.
"I will find you, Roger!"
Barrett's eyes flashed with awe-inspiring fighting spirit, and with a casual throw, he threw the newspaper into the sky.
The unfolded newspaper flew high.
Under the light of the fire, the black letter headline of [Red Earl Redfield defeated miserably, life or death unknown!], which was specially bolded, was particularly conspicuous.
Then, the flying newspaper was rolled towards the flames by the hot air current, and in less than a second or two, it was licked by the flames and turned into ashes.
Barrett looked at the short figure walking in from outside the town, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Everything has been arranged, it seems that Barrett, you have cleared out the venue for the celebration, so prepare to welcome a grand celebration!"
The person who came raised his hands and said to Barrett with fanaticism.
"What I care more about is, do you have any news about the other members of the Roger Pirates?"
Barrett's eyes flickered with red light as he looked at Festa, causing beads of sweat to drip from the latter's forehead.
"There is already some progress, and we have already released the news. As long as those Roger Pirates hear the news, they will definitely come! After all, we are using Roger's 'bloodline' as bait!
When the time comes, as long as we catch those guys from the Roger Pirates, are we still afraid that Roger won't come out!?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 295: Descent
New World, Cake Island.
This is the main base of the BIGMOM Pirates.
"They were actually defeated so easily by the Navy!!!"
"Redfield, the so-called Lone Red, what a joke."
The newspaper delivered today caused Charlotte Linlin's furious roar to reverberate throughout the Island, even affecting the weather.
Inside Cake Castle, the Homies, soul creatures given life, were highly sensitive to Charlotte Linlin's outburst of emotion, and at this moment, they were all huddled together, trembling.
They were terrified of being devoured alive by the enraged Charlotte Linlin.
Outside Charlotte Linlin's room, Perospero and Comport, along with many other children, all wore solemn expressions as they stared at the tightly closed door.
It was as if a ferocious Monster was hidden behind that door, and they could even vaguely see black Fog constantly surging out from the door gap.
Faintly, through the door gap, they could also see the constantly flickering black-red Lightning.
That seemed to be a manifestation of Conqueror's Haki that Charlotte Linlin was unleashing along with her emotional outburst.
"Mama has been frequently angry recently..."
"Yes, affected by this, several Vassal Islands have already become sacrifices."
"It's all Nicholas's fault!!!"
"Say less, let's think about what we should do next? You don't actually think that after we attacked Nicholas's Territory, that guy will have a peaceful Negotiation with us, do you?"
Smoothie, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, leaned against the Wall and said disdainfully as she looked at her Brothers and Sisters.
Hearing Smoothie's words, although many people showed expressions of resentment on their faces, no one dared to lash out. After all, in the Big Mom Pirates, strength always spoke for itself.
Although Smoothie was much younger than them, her Strength was unquestionable.
"Hehehe, Smoothie is right. If your Strength is too weak, you might be killed in the upcoming War with Nicholas, you know."
A tall figure, wearing a helmet decorated with vertical mane-like ornaments, with biscuit-decorated base horns on both sides of the helmet, wearing black and white biscuit-patterned Armor, with the letters BIS on his Waistband, a pointed and long Beard.
Holding a Sword, draped in a Cloak, and carrying a large biscuit Shield on his back, the person who looked like a Shogun said coldly.
"Alright, Cracker. Now is not the time to say this!"
Perospero, the Candy Minister with a long tongue sticking out, said coldly to the person next to him.
In his hand, he held Intelligence sent from various places belonging to the Charlotte Family.
Daifuku, leaning against the Wall, also said calmly: "That guy couldn't be dealt with even when Kaido and Mama joined forces, he's even more troublesome than expected..."
"Indeed."
Perospero said gloomily: "So we must get rid of him, the sooner the better!"
"..."
Daifuku glanced at Perospero, without responding.
Under the gaze of many Brothers and Sisters, Perospero looked at the door, his Complexion becoming increasingly gloomy.
It could be said that they once had a kind of blind confidence in Charlotte Linlin, believing that as long as Charlotte Linlin was there, no Enemy could defeat the Charlotte Family.
But now, with Charlotte Linlin's repeated setbacks, and the Navy's capture of Redfield, these Charlotte children began to feel some panic in their hearts.
After all, without Big Mom, they could at best be considered a decent Force on this Grand Line.
Suddenly, Perospero seemed to have thought of something, and said coldly:
"Douglas Bullet, recently he can be said to be quite active, leaving rivers of Blood wherever he goes. If we could Co-opt that guy..."
Gleams of light flickered in Perospero's Eyes.
Three days later.
Having arranged everything, Nicholas came Alone to the High Sky above Totto Land Sea Area.
This, is exactly Totto Land ruled by Charlotte Linlin.
In the entire Sea Area, Cake Island serves as the main body, surrounded by a total of 34 Islands scattered like stars, because it gathers almost all Races in the World except for the Giant Race, it is also known as Totto Land.
On each Island, there is a Minister governing it.
And these Ministers, naturally, are the children born to Charlotte Linlin.
After arriving at the High Sky above Totto Land Sea Area, behind Nicholas, Lightning Clone figures appeared one after another, and then like dumplings, they fell straight down towards an Island below.
Coincidentally, that Island was Cocoa Island, located on the periphery of Totto Land Sea Area.
"What are those Things?!"
The People on Cocoa Island quickly noticed Nicholas and his clones falling rapidly from the High Sky.
The Lightning Clone figures descending overhead, carrying suffocating pressure, fiercely struck the hearts of the Cocoa Island Residents.
Nicholas stood in the High Sky, the whistling strong Wind blew his clothes and hair, and he lowered his head, indifferently overlooking Cocoa Island, which had a huge Gift Box as its landmark Architecture.
"Totto Land? What a childish Appellation!"
The Lightning Clone figures falling from the Sky, almost covering the Sky, were a Surprise Attack that brought a strong visual impact to everyone on Cocoa Island.
Among them, naturally, was Charlotte Conte, the Guard responsible for Cocoa Island in rotation.
As Charlotte Linlin's sixth son, Conte was an extremely burly Giant. He had a dark brown Mohawk hairstyle, and did not wear too much Defense Equipment all over his body, looking like he possessed considerable Power and fighting skills.
"Because they came from the Sky, they avoided the Alert range of the Reconnaissance Ship and communication snail?"
Within the Sea Area of Totto Land, whether on the Sea Surface or under the Seabed, Reconnaissance Ships and communication snail responsible for Alert are everywhere.
Once someone without Totto Land authorization breaks into Totto Land Territory, the communication snail will immediately feed back the information to the Reconnaissance Ship.
Then, the Reconnaissance Ship will find the intruder as soon as possible, and choose different handling methods according to the situation.
But usually, they directly use extremely powerful Firepower to sink the intruder's Ship.
If they cannot sink it with Firepower, then the Reconnaissance Ship will call for People from the nearest Island, and at this time, the Ministers of those Islands will personally take Action.
Therefore, many Pirates who fantasize about challenging BIGMOM and are ignorant of the immensity of Heaven and Earth, until the last moment of their Life, have not even been able to set foot on Cake Island, the Core of Totto Land.
But Nicholas, who came from the Sky, rendered Totto Land's Defense system completely useless!
Conte laboriously raised his head, watching Nicholas and his clones falling straight down from the Sky, cold sweat dripping down his Face.
Although he was very confident in his own Strength, it depended on who he was comparing himself to.
In front of Nicholas, except for Katakuri and others, People like himself would probably be killed in one Face-to-face encounter.
"Scatter, send a News to Cake Island!!!"
While retreating rapidly, Conte shouted loudly at his subordinates around him.
Although his name was Conte, he really couldn't Conte with Nicholas.
In his opinion, being able to send the News of Nicholas's attack back to Cake Island was already pretty good.
Boom—! Boom—!
Figures fell from the Sky, under the heavy pressure, the Ground instantly shattered, and many Buildings also collapsed in an instant, countless Fragments flew in all directions, and Dust Cloud spread across Cocoa Island at an extremely fast Speed.
In just a few seconds, most of Cocoa Island's Architecture turned into Ruins.
And on top of the Ruins, Nicholas figures surrounded by Electric Arc revealed themselves.
"Then let's start the show."
Nicholas's Eyes were cold, and with a slight movement of his Finger, Lightning Clone figures strode towards the Cocoa Island Armed Forces in front of them.
Their Speed became faster and faster, and finally they almost ran.
Whoosh whoosh—!
And along with the Actions of the Lightning Clone figures, a massacre was about to be staged on Cocoa Island.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 296 Instant Kill
Wano Country, Onigashima.
The Headline Report of Charlotte Linlin attacking Nikolas's Territory and Redfield's capture spread throughout the world. As Kaido, who aspires to become Joy Boy, naturally wouldn't miss any Big News in the world.
"Jiji, is this the bad guy who captured Uncle King?"
A white-haired little loli perched on Kaido's head, with red horns, a Spiked Club slung across her back, Shimenawa tied around her waist, and Geta on her feet, looked at the photo of Nicholas in the newspaper in Kaido's hand and couldn't help but point her little finger at Nicholas's photo, asking curiously.
"What are kids doing caring about these things?"
Kaido raised his eyes and glanced at the white-haired little loli perched on his head, then used his hand to grab the little loli by the back of her collar and placed her in front of his eyes.
"Have you completed today's five hundred Thunder Bagua training sessions? You are going to be the heir of the Beasts Pirates in the future! If your Strength isn't strong, you won't be able to suppress those guys!"
Hearing Kaido's words, the white-haired loli immediately struggled with flailing arms and legs. Clearly, five hundred Thunder Bagua training sessions every day were a torment for her.
Even during the struggle, the small Spiked Club in her hand directly swung and hit Kaido's face.
But for this Damage, Kaido was not angry. Instead, a fatherly smile appeared on his face.
After all, Kaido could be said to be very satisfied with this descendant of his. Whether it was Talent or Strength, she perfectly inherited his advantages.
"Go, take young master to complete today's Training!"
After speaking, Kaido directly threw the white-haired loli out. The white-haired loli completed her Body adjustment in the Sky and landed perfectly.
After the white-haired loli was taken away, Veins appeared on Kaido's face.
It could be said that both King and Queen were important Power of the Beasts Pirates, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that King was the Second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates.
But now, the Second-in-command King and Queen, who had the highest level of Culture in the Beasts Pirates, were captured by Nicholas, which made Kaido extremely angry.
Originally, when Kaido received the news of Charlotte Linlin's invasion of Nikolas's Territory, he was quite happy. After all, as long as Nicholas left, almost no one in White Dance would be his opponent.
But when he flew to Hakumai Border after Nicholas left White Dance, he saw that guy wearing a dark green Cape, riding the Wind, blocking his way.
"Dorag!!!"
Kaido said through gritted teeth, looking as if he couldn't wait to chew the owner of the name into pieces and swallow him into his Belly.
In the Sky above Cocoa Island, Nicholas was looking down at the Town below, which was constantly filled with Gunsmoke.
The armed Resistance Power of Cocoa Island was fully visible.
Apart from a small portion being Normal People and other Races, most of the remaining armed forces were Chess Soldiers into whom Charlotte Linlin had injected Soul using her Devil Fruit Ability.
These Chess Soldiers Homies seemed to be the most basic military Power of Totto Land. Therefore, their cost was low, and their Combat Power was considerable, making them extremely cost-effective. They were distributed across 34 Islands under Totto Land's jurisdiction, serving as basic armed forces.
Because they were injected with Soul, Nicholas could sense Life Aura from these Chess Soldiers.
"Soldiers created by endowing inanimate objects with 'Soul'? Devil Fruit is truly a magical Power."
And the Homies below, facing the Lightning Clone's Attack, when the two sides just made contact, a look of astonishment appeared on their anthropomorphic Faces.
It should be known that although their Strength could not be compared with those Strongest of the Charlotte Family, it was definitely far beyond Ordinary People. However, these Chess Soldiers were as fragile as paper when facing the Lightning Clone.
Thump thump—
In just a few seconds, the Chess Soldiers stationed on Cocoa Island, as well as hundreds of BIGMOM Pirates members, all fell to the Ground, losing their life signs.
Soon, Nicholas withdrew his Gaze from the fallen Chess Soldiers and turned to look at the remaining armed forces in the center of Cocoa Island who were still struggling to resist the Lightning Clone's Attack, and their leader—Charlotte Conte.
"BIGMOM's sixth son, Charlotte Conte, right? I didn't expect you to be quite capable?"
Looking at Charlotte Conte, who was struggling to resist the siege of two Lightning Clones, Nicholas slowly descended from the Sky and said jokingly.
"Albert Nicholas!!!"
Charlotte Conte dodged the Thunderbolt Invincible Lightning Fist of the Lightning Clone while quickly glancing around at the Cocoa Island Town that had almost turned into Ruins, and the Chess Homies team that had been instantly killed by the Lightning Clones and had almost completely lost their Combat Power, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
"You dare to do this!!! Aren't you afraid of Mom coming after you?"
Surrounded by five Lightning Clones, with no way to retreat, Charlotte Conte roared at Nicholas. Almost at the same time, his Arm and fists were instantly covered in Armament Haki and dyed pitch black.
Then he bent his Arm and waist to block his Face.
Thump!
He lifted his Foot and stomped on the Ground. Accompanied by the muffled sound of the Ground cracking, Conte's tall and sturdy Body, like a high-speed train, directly crashed through the Lightning Clone and rushed towards Nicholas.
At this moment, Charlotte Conte was going to dominate the scene!!!
Seeing Conte rushing over with great momentum, Nicholas didn't even intend to stop him.
Almost the instant Conte rushed in front of him, he directly kicked Conte's Arm covered in Armament Haki.
Under the impact of the enormous Power.
Conte's Arm covered in Armament Haki twisted and deformed amidst the sound of Bones breaking. Then, with undiminished momentum, his Arm directly and fiercely struck Conte's Face.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, Conte's sturdy Body flew out like a Shell.
In just a few seconds, Conte flew across half of the Town and finally embedded himself in a small Rock Boulder, stirring up a large cloud of Dust.
It looked like he wouldn't survive...
Nicholas looked expressionlessly in the direction Conte flew, and then appeared not far from Conte in a flash.
"This is... Lord Conte!?"
"Lord Conte, how could this be...!!!"
The Residents of Cocoa Island, who had gathered out of curiosity after noticing the commotion, all looked in horror at Conte, who was breathing more out than in.
Even though they knew that the Strength of the invaders might be very strong, they still found it hard to accept the fact that Charlotte Conte, who was very powerful, would be easily defeated.
"Quick, save him!"
"If we save Lord Conte, maybe we can settle down on Cake Island!"
Many people who reacted immediately rushed forward excitedly, wanting to save Conte, who looked like he could die at any moment.
For these People living in Totto Land, the closer the Island is to Cake Island, the better the living Condition.
Even Cake Island, the most essential core area of Totto Land, was almost equated with Paradise in the eyes of many people from outer Islands.
As long as they could settle down on Cake Island, they would live in Happiness forever and never have to worry about Food again.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 297 Different Survival Methods
While Charlotte Conte, embedded in the stone, was being frantically rescued by the crowd, he stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed, blankly watching Nicholas who had appeared there.
It could be said that in the instant he clashed with Nicholas, he already knew that the gap between them was indescribable.
If, when he saw the Lightning Clone that had essentially dismantled all of Cocoa Island's armed defenses in a matter of seconds, Charlotte Conte still thought that even if he couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be too difficult.
But after taking that kick from Nicholas, he knew that he was likely going to be done for today.
"Stop him! Anyone who can injure that Weapon will be exempt from Soul Payment in Cocoa Island for ten years! If you can kill that Weapon, I will personally grant you permanent residency in Cake Island and you won't have to pay Soul!"
Charlotte Conte roared out these Words almost hysterically, clearly the fear of Death had unleashed his immense Potential.
Although he knew that these lowly People might not even be a match for the Homie Soldiers in Totto Land, at this moment, being able to delay Nicholas for even a second longer would give the reinforcements from Cake Island and other Islands a second more Time, and he himself would have a better chance of survival.
Hearing Charlotte Conte's Words, a commotion immediately erupted in the crowd surrounding Charlotte Conte. Clearly, the conditions Charlotte Conte offered were irresistible to these People.
Many People took out Weapons one after another and turned around to look at Nicholas like Evil Ghosts.
Those without Weapons simply used whatever was available on the spot, either picking up Stones or Tree Branches.
There were even a group of Old Men who directly took off their shoes, or removed their dentures and held them in their hands, eagerly eyeing Nicholas.
Looking at the others who were rubbing their fists and warming up, intending to take him down, Nicholas was also a little helpless.
To say he was a Holy Mother, it wasn't quite that, but his pride wouldn't allow him to kill these Ordinary People who had almost zero combat power.
"Hey, that Weapon was able to beat Lord Charlotte Conte into this state, will we be his Opponent?"
Someone said somewhat uneasily, looking at Nicholas who was standing there quietly.
"What's there to be afraid of? There are so many of us, and besides, we don't have to be the ones charging in the front. After those guys in front take care of that Weapon, we can just go up and join in, right?"
His Companion beside him said softly, clearly they weren't fools either, knowing that the other party was a Weapon who could easily kill them, they were unwilling to act rashly.
For a Time, the Atmosphere on the field became somewhat tense, and Nicholas seemed to be getting a little annoyed as well, directly lifting his foot and walking towards Charlotte Conte who was lying there.
Seeing this Scene, many People in the crowd exchanged glances.
"Kill him!"
"Yeah, there are so many of us!"
"Whether we can live a better Life from now on depends on today!"
Following a few rhythmic voices that rang out one after another in the crowd, a bunch of mindless Weapons immediately rushed towards Nicholas.
Facing the Weapons who raised their Weapons and rushed towards him, Nicholas showed no sympathy at all, directly unleashing dozens of Lightning bolts from around his Body.
And accompanied by a crackling Sound, those Weapons who rushed out instantly became charred black all over, and fell to the ground as if struck by a high-voltage Electric Current.
The Battle ended too quickly, not even giving them a chance to show off.
"Not even a chance to get close."
Someone in the crowd thought silently in disappointment.
As if they had a telepathic connection, they inadvertently exchanged a Gaze.
"This Lord, please have mercy and pity on us Weapons! If Lord Charlotte Conte dies in Cocoa Island, we will all be executed by the other angry Charlotte Family People!"
Following a burst of cries, the Old Weapons who were just eager to try suddenly knelt down in front of Nicholas, tearfully pleading.
"Yes, please have pity on us! We People were originally Refugees on the Grand Line, it was so difficult to finally find a Place to settle down!"
Someone quickly echoed.
"Yes, this Lord, it doesn't matter if we Weapons die, but these Kids have only been in the World for how long? They haven't even had a good look at the World yet."
As the Words fell, the crowd slowly parted to reveal a group of Kids who were only three or four years old, as well as many women holding Infants and pregnant women with large Bellies.
Seeing this Scene, Nicholas sighed from the bottom of his Belly, Charlotte Linlin's Totto Land was indeed doing a very good job in winning over the hearts of the People.
Although living in Totto Land, depending on the Conditions of the Island, required paying different amounts of Soul Lifespan to Charlotte Linlin.
But for these People who had suffered greatly on the Grand Line and were oppressed by the World Government, the Conditions offered by Totto Land could be said to be quite good. Compared to the Life they enjoyed, what was a little Soul Lifespan?
Even if they could originally live to eighty years old, if living in the Totto Land territory required paying thirty years of Lifespan, they would still choose to agree without hesitation.
After all, a carefree Life for fifty years without worrying about Food and safety, no matter how you look at it, is much better than a lifetime of hard work and even oppression until eighty years old.
Even seeing this Scene, Nicholas felt that if Big Mom back then had made a guarantee to all Residents of Totto Land like Charlotte Conte, then the Straw Hat crew and Germa would definitely have been drowned in the vast ocean of the People.
After all, for these Weapons living in Totto Land, Totto Land was undoubtedly Shangri-La. Although they had to pay Lifespan, it still didn't change the fact that Totto Land was Shangri-La for them, Weapons who struggled to survive outside.
Nicholas glanced at the incredibly Weakness Residents in Cocoa Island Town, and ignored them. After all, for these People without Strength, this was their Method of survival in this World.
His Body moved slightly, and when he reappeared, Nicholas was already in front of Charlotte Conte.
"What truly Weakness Weapons, I hope your Brothers and Sisters later can bring me a little fun."
Then, under Charlotte Conte's terrified Gaze, Nicholas said with a smile, "Have you ever been kicked by Lightning?"
Saying that, his right leg flashing with Lightning, directly kicked Charlotte Conte's Neck once. Accompanied by a crisp Sound, the sixth son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Conte, died at the hands of Nicholas.
A few minutes later.
The Residents of Cocoa Island stared blankly at the Town burning with Gunsmoke, and the Wreckage of Chess Homies Soldiers scattered everywhere.
And the Weapon who caused all of this had already disappeared, everything was like a Nightmare.
On the Sea Surface outside Cocoa Island, several Reconnaissance Ship were anchored.
Now that Charlotte Conte had sent out News of Nicholas's arrival, these surrounding Reconnaissance Ship had rushed over.
"What exactly happened on Cocoa Island..."
In the monitoring room, the People of the Big Mom Pirates stared blankly at Cocoa Island, which was filled with Gunsmoke, and couldn't help but say.
The last time Totto Land was invaded was the last time, ah.
After a long Time.
After the Reconnaissance Ship transmitted the News to other Places in Totto Land, they boarded Cocoa Island ahead of others.
Then, what they saw was the Wreckage of Homies covering the Town, and the Corpse of Charlotte Family's sixth son, Charlotte Conte.
"What's going on? Lord Charlotte Conte! He..."
The person in charge of the Reconnaissance Ship, widened his Eyes, looking at the situation before his Eyes in disbelief.
A direct Bloodline member of the Charlotte Family Death in Battle, this is a big Thing!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 298: The Charlotte's Unusual Movements
Reconnaissance Ships distributed throughout the Totto Land Sea Area are not only numerous and responsible for monitoring any movements in the Whole Cake Island Sea Area, but also possess excellent naval combat capabilities.
It can be said that within the Whole Cake Island Territory, no matter which Island is attacked, they can arrive at the scene of the incident in the shortest possible Time and enter battle Mode.
This time, they were still as quickly in place as before, intending to defeat the Enemy.
But what greeted them was not the Enemy they had expected, who would exchange a few rounds of Shells upon meeting.
But rather, before they even saw their Opponent, they were directly engulfed by huge Lightning. Subsequently, wreckage of the monitoring Ship and Corpses of Big Mom Pirates Member floated on the Sea Surface.
"What the hell is going on?"
The person in charge of leading the team to Cocoa Island, his Eyes fierce, swept across the Residents around Charlotte Conte's Corpse.
Obviously, if he couldn't get a definite answer from these Cocoa Island Residents, once the intruder was repelled, what awaited him would definitely not be a good end.
And the Cocoa Island Residents, facing the inquiry, appeared at a loss and looked at each other.
From countless figures falling from the sky, turning the entire Cocoa Island Town into Ruins, to the annihilation of the garrison Military Strength, including Lord Charlotte Conte, the Minister stationed at Cocoa Island, it was only a matter of tens of seconds...
Finally, they saw that intruder kick Charlotte Conte to death with one Foot and then disappear into thin air.
The whole process, from start to finish, was fast and sudden.
So much so that their Thoughts had not yet Reactioned.
Seeing the Residents' Reaction, the team leader looked anxious. He needed to report the intruder's detailed Action and Intelligence as soon as possible before the intruder caused greater harm in Totto Land.
"Do you know where the 'intruder' went? And who is the 'intruder'?"
In order to obtain first-hand Eyewitness Intelligence as soon as possible, the Big Mom Pirates Officer leading the team suppressed the impatience in his heart and tried to ask in a kind Tone.
But what greeted him was the Sound of heads shaking in unison.
Seeing this Scene, the Big Mom Pirates Crew Member almost gritted his teeth.
"Boss, these guys usually can't receive News from the outside world at all. I guess they really don't know who the intruder is."
At this time, a Subordinate cautiously spoke up beside him, and the Big Mom Pirates Officer also suddenly Reactioned. Totto Land, as an independent Kingdom, apart from the Big Mom Pirates people, other ordinary Residents hardly have the Qualification to access any News from the outside world.
So he quickly took out a few Wanted Posters from his chest and showed them to the People.
"Take a look, which Weapon among these People is the intruder?"
The Big Mom Pirates Officer looked at the People and asked.
In the crowd, an elderly Person poked his head out, pointed at Nicholas's Wanted Poster, and stammered, "I-It's that Weapon..."
"Huh!?"
Seeing that the Person pointed at Nicholas's Wanted Poster, the team leader's Face suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned to look at the Subordinates in charge of communication.
"Quickly report this Thing to Mom!"
"Yes!"
Puru~ Puru~
As the unique Sound of the Den Den Mushi rang, soon the Den Den Mushi inside Cake Castle was connected.
Charlotte Linlin, far away on Cake Island, quickly received News that the Nicholas Pirates had invaded Totto Land and that Cocoa Island had been destroyed.
"You Weapon actually dare to destroy my Cocoa Island!"
She, who was furious because Cocoa Island was destroyed, after hearing that the intruder was Nicholas, instead strangely suppressed her Fury and remained clear-headed.
"Quickly find that Weapon's location! This old lady will personally skin him and tear him apart, and then make him into a specimen to collect forever!!!"
On Charlotte Linlin's ferocious Face, a terrifying expression that made everyone around her feel chilled was revealed.
"Yes, Mom!"
Below the Throne, the People responded in a deep voice.
And although the People agreed verbally, almost everyone had their own Thoughts in their hearts. It could be said that Charlotte Linlin was increasingly disappointing them. They were also very clear about Nicholas's Combat Power, which was at the same level as Mom or even stronger Opponent. But Mom dared to say that she would skin and tear apart the other party. Could it be true as Nicholas said, that Mom's brain was damaged by giving birth?
After accepting the Order, the People excused themselves and began to summon their respective Subordinates.
"Older Brother Katakuri, wait."
After walking out of the Castle, Katakuri was stopped by Smoothie, who spoke from behind him.
"Younger Sister Smoothie, is there Anything?"
Katakuri stopped and looked at Smoothie and Charlotte Stron, the 15th Sister, and Charlotte Snarmon, the 16th Sister, beside her.
Looking at Katakuri, who had covered most of his Face with a scarf, Smoothie didn't know how to speak for a moment.
And seeing her Sister's tangled Manner, Charlotte Stron couldn't help but speak.
"Older Brother Katakuri, you must also realize that Mom and Totto Land are now on a very dangerous edge, right?"
Hearing Charlotte Stron's Words, Katakuri did not answer but stared at Charlotte Stron with his Gaze.
Facing Katakuri's Gaze, Charlotte Stron couldn't help but take half a step back.
And looking at her Younger Sister's Look, Smoothie grabbed Stron's shoulder and then spoke directly and frankly to Katakuri.
"Older Brother Katakuri, you should be clear that Mom is likely not to be Nicholas's Opponent. When Mom decided to Attack Nicholas's Territory, we already knew it, but no one could persuade Mom.
In the past, Mom could rely on her powerful Strength and didn't need to have so many Considerations, but now she can't."
Perhaps Charlotte Linlin did not expect that she, who once relied on Terror Strength to make all her children live in Fear, along with repeated setbacks in Nicholas's hands, had already made her Subordinates begin to have different Thoughts.
After all, if Parents are not kind, children are not filial, not to mention that Charlotte Linlin has never been associated with kindness.
"Younger Sister Smoothie, it's best to forget these Words and Thoughts. After all, Mom is still the Queen of Totto Land now, and we are still deep in Totto Land Territory!"
After speaking, Katakuri turned and left, and looking at Katakuri's departing back, Smoothie didn't say anything more.
Cocoa Island fell, Nicholas invaded.
This News, through the transmission of Den Den Mushi, spread to every Corner of Totto Land in a very short Time.
The Islands closest to Cocoa Island took Action almost immediately.
Many Islands, both above and below, were filled with a tense Atmosphere of an impending storm.
Cocoa Island was captured and turned into Ruins in a matter of seconds.
Then these Islands of theirs are very likely to become Nicholas's next Attack Target, and they, whose Defense Power is similar to Cocoa Island, have to treat it cautiously.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 299 A Bag of Rice, How Many Floors?
While the children of the Charlotte Family began to gather their Subordinate and deploy troops, and the entire Totto Land defense system began searching for Nicholas's Trace.
Nicholas's Figure had already appeared in the opposite direction of Cocoa Island.
And what Nicholas was going to do next was self-evident, which was to rely on his high Mobility to completely turn Totto Land upside down.
Two minutes later, Nicholas had already crossed the entire Totto Land and arrived at another Island opposite Cocoa Island, an Island famous for its Cream in Totto Land, above Thick Island.
It could be said that when Totto Land initially selected Islands, except for some Small Island that possessed certain Specialty Product, almost all of them chose medium-sized Islands. After all, Small Island were too small, and even with the Power of the Big Mom Pirates, moving large Islands was somewhat difficult.
Thick Island was one of these medium-sized Islands, and the iconic Architecture on Thick Island was a Puff Tower stacked with Cream.
At this moment.
The numerous Military Strength on Thick Island were in a state of high Alert. Although Cocoa Island was far away from them, since the other party dared to invade Totto Land, there was nothing he would not dare to do.
As for the Ordinary People on Thick Island, they had long been transferred away by Ship. After all, these Ordinary People were Big Mom's precious Wealth, capable of providing her with a continuous Soul Lifespan.
Sea Surface, under the Sea Surface, Sky.
It could be said that all the reconnaissance Abilities of Thick Island were almost fully activated, especially the Sky. It could be said that even a Bird flying by would be locked on by many Cannons.
After all, according to the Intelligence analysis from Cocoa Island, and the fact that the monitoring defense system around Totto Land had not discovered any Trace of the Enemy, coupled with Nicholas's Ability, almost all the affiliated Islands of Totto Land had analyzed that the Enemy was likely coming from the Sky.
However, no matter how many times they looked towards the Sky, they could not see Nicholas.
Nicholas stood above the clouds, condescendingly scanning the Alert Soldiers on Thick Island.
He even had the Mood to take a few more glances at the iconic Architecture of Thick Island.
After all, the Climate of Totto Land was not a Climate suitable for preserving Ingredients like Cream.
Was it possible that this Building had to be remanufactured by the Charlotte Family children stationed on this Island using their Abilities every once in a while?
Thinking about it this way, the Charlotte Family children seemed quite miserable. After all, the meaning of their Existence was very similar to Tools.
Nicholas quickly deactivated his levitation State.
Losing support, Nicholas thus howled and fell towards Thick Island under his Foot.
As Nicholas fell into the clouds, the highly Alert Soldiers also quickly discovered Nicholas's Figure in the Sky.
"Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by a loud roar, the Sound of enemy attack quickly spread throughout Thick Island.
"A bag of rice, how many floors to carry? A bag of rice, carry to the second floor, a bag of rice is too much, a bag of rice is washed by me, a bag of rice, I washed so much mud, and that pile of black tiles, tile fragments! Every grain has mud, who will give you a bag of rice, Spicy Heaven Forest."
Suspended above the Puff Tower, Nicholas's cold voice without any Emotion swept away with the Wind.
As the last syllable fell.
Boom—!
Instantly, Time seemed to be paused. The top of the Cream Puff Tower suddenly collapsed under the pressure of an invisible Power, and then issued an earth-shattering Sound, and rapidly spread towards the surroundings.
Such a huge commotion came extremely suddenly.
The Homie Soldiers who were rushing towards Nicholas's location all subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Sound.
What came into their Eyes was the Puff Tower collapsing rapidly from top to bottom, as if something huge had heavily pressed on the Puff Tower.
And an invisible Air Wave quickly centered on the Puff Tower, engulfing a large number of Food Fragments and sweeping towards the surroundings.
Looking at this Scene happening before their Eyes, and the Cream giant wave sweeping towards them rapidly, many Soldiers were immediately stunned.
Before they could react, their Faces were suddenly hit hard, and their whole bodies were wrapped in the Air Wave mixed with various Things, instantly losing Consciousness and turning into a part of the Air Wave.
Rumble!!!
Instantly, unimaginable impact force caused the entire Thick Island to vibrate violently.
Rumbling!!!
Accompanied by loud Sounds, the Air Wave rolling with a large amount of Dust Cloud and Building Wreckage slowly subsided.
If you looked down from the Sky above Thick Island, you would find that almost the entire Thick Island had been completely leveled to the ground. A large amount of Building Wreckage wrapped around Thick Island along the Coastline like a ring.
The original Homie Soldiers and Big Mom Pirates Members located on Thick Island were all without exception pressed under these Wreckage.
"What happened!?"
"What happened!?"
"What happened!?"
In the distance, the Ordinary Totto Land Residents who were transferred by Ship looked at Thick Island filled with Dust Cloud, their Faces were full of disbelief.
"Which Weapon is it that wants to destroy our last place to live!"
"Lord Charlotte Linlin will definitely defeat that Weapon!"
"I Curse that Weapon to die a horrible death!"
Many people on the Ship gritted their teeth and cursed Nicholas, who had broken their peaceful Life.
And those surviving Soldiers who were lifted and swept away by the Air Wave, after climbing out of various Wreckage, looked at Thick Island, which had been turned into a white ground, in incomparable horror.
This doomsday-like Scene made their hearts tremble with Fear.
"Is this still Thick Island!"
"The Power to instantly level an Island!?"
"But, but... how exactly did that Weapon do it!!!"
The Soldiers who had luckily escaped looked at the huge Open Ground revealing the Soil below the Island, both shocked and confused.
For them, was a Weapon who could level an Island at every turn really something they could deal with?
"All of you, buck up! The Enemy will definitely not give up easily!"
Just then, a Sound full of tension came from a distance.
The Soldiers followed the Sound and looked, and saw a Man whose Face and Arm looked like soft Cream rushing over.
"Fresh Milk Minister!! Lord Opera!"
This Man was Charlotte Opera, the Fresh Milk Minister under Big Mom, who was responsible for governing Thick Island, and also the fifth Son of Charlotte Linlin.
Opera looked at the central area of Thick Island, which had been destroyed in an Instantly, and like receiving the News of his Younger Brother Charlotte Conte who had just died not long ago, he was filled with shock and anger.
The anger that seemed to overflow could not even be concealed.
At this Time, Figures emerged from the Dust Cloud.
"BIGMOM's fifth Son, Charlotte Opera, right. I didn't expect you to survive Awakening failure, it's really strange?"
At the same Time, Nicholas's Sound mixed with a trace of doubt came from the Dust Cloud.
Opera's Eyes changed, and while secretly on Alert, he raised his hand to signal the surrounding Soldiers to prepare for Battle.
Whether it was Opera or the Soldiers, they were all somewhat nervous looking at the Figure in the Dust Cloud.
After all, the other party was a Weapon as terrifying as Mom.
Soon, Nicholas walked out of the Dust Cloud.
"Albert Nicholas!"
Although there was only one person, a strong sense of Apprehension and Fear appeared in Opera's Eyes.
Nicholas glanced at the sticky Cream on Opera's Face, and looked puzzled.
When he originally read the Manga, he thought Opera's Appearance was due to his Devil Fruit Ability, but when he really saw Opera's Appearance, he realized that the reason why this Weapon became this Monster-like Manner seemed to be because of Devil Fruit Awakening failure, which affected Oneself.
Just like Zoan-type Devil Fruit Ability Awakening failure, but he didn't know if Opera was lucky, he didn't lose his own Consciousness, but just turned into a Monster.
