Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 271 The Power of the Spirit Dragon

Aure Island.

The sudden disappearance of the three Five Elders left Kaido empty-handed, and his previously high fighting spirit was instantly dampened by this unexpected turn of events.

Kaido, in his dragon form, descended from the sky, casually deflecting Korin's flying slash. The two then stared at each other from a great distance.

The outer perimeter of the Icefield Battlefield.

Charlotte Linlin brought Sengoku directly here after the war began.

Both sides simultaneously activated their full beast forms and engaged in a fierce battle.

The golden Buddha statue is indestructible.

The pink and gold dragon shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

Charlotte Linlin's eyes burned with fury.

This is not the first time.

From the earliest Valley of the Gods, then the Dragon Kingdom, and now.

The navy is like a persistent nuisance; every time things get a little better, they start acting up and biting people again.

"Navy! This time I'm going to make you pay!!"

"Prometheus!!"

Charlotte Linlin roared, and Prometheus, the little sun, immediately pounced on her.

The sun disintegrated and wrapped itself around the body of a pink-gold dragon.

Flames raged on the surface of the dragon scales as Charlotte Linlin flapped her wings and soared into the sky.

Flames left a trail of fire behind her, and after circling several times to increase her flight speed, she launched a self-sacrificing charge.

Cute stars are flying and crashing into the sky!!

Sengoku, now transformed into a golden Buddha, crossed his arms and took Charlotte Linlin's attack head-on. However, a large area of ​​the ice beneath his feet shattered, causing his expression to change drastically.

The golden Buddha rapidly shrank, and Sengoku used Moonwalk to escape the battlefield that was about to turn into an icy sea.

Charlotte Linlin had no worries about sinking into the sea.

As she fell backward from the impact, Zeus, the thundercloud, enlarged his body to catch her.

As Charlotte Linlin rolled over again to search for the Warring States period, the enormous golden Buddha soon reappeared on another part of the ice.

"Fire!!"

dong dong dong...

However, before Charlotte Linlin could launch her next offensive, a large number of naval warships appeared on the distant sea.

Cannons spewed fire, and countless shells blotted out the sky, completely covering Charlotte Linlin's space to dodge.

Boom boom boom...

As the explosions of the shells rose into the air, Charlotte Linlin remained completely unfazed, simply observing everything with icy eyes.

On the warship.

The naval soldiers rushed about, some filling cannonballs, others cleaning the cannon barrels.

After completing all the work in an orderly manner, the order for a new round of salvo firing immediately arrived.

dong dong dong...

The roar of cannons echoed across the ship. The vice admiral team, led by Vice Admiral Tsuru, maintained communication between the ships while using binoculars to observe Charlotte Linlin, who was being bombarded.

In this battle, the Navy focused its main attack on Charlotte Linlin.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, the Five Elders' figures cannot be seen by any Marine below the rank of Commodore; anyone who violates this rule must commit suicide. Furthermore, the Five Elders are fighting five against one, so there is no reason for them to lose.

Secondly, the Navy has already experienced Kaido's formidable strength multiple times; he is not someone that can be defeated by numbers alone. Therefore, defeating and capturing Charlotte Linlin, and destroying one of the two core pillars of the Beast Pirates, has become the Navy's new strategic objective.

only……

"The shelling wasn't very effective..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned slightly.

"Moreover, a huge variable has emerged in this battle."

If I remember correctly, Charlotte Linlin should be a Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit user. When did she become a Mythical Zoan?

Moreover, it's a dragon-type mythical beast.

Did she remember it wrong?

No, Lieutenant General Tsuru was very confident that he had not remembered it wrong!

So, the problem lies with the Beasts Pirates and Kaido.

However... the intelligence reported to them by the spies only mentioned that Vegapunk and others in the research department could create artificial Devil Fruits, without mentioning that people who had already eaten the fruits could also be modified.

"Is this the legendary power of science?!"

Unfortunately, now that the war has begun, there is no more time for Lieutenant General Tsuru to gather more intelligence; he can only make real-time deployments based on the battlefield situation.

"Keep the shelling going!!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru issued orders to the entire naval fleet via a telephone insect.

"One shell certainly can't harm Charlotte Linlin! But it can reduce her stamina!!"

"Once we reduce her stamina to the limit with cannon fire, the Sengoku general will be able to capture her!!"

"All ships, listen to my command!"

"Arrange your troops in a wedge formation to achieve full coverage of the battlefield!"

"Fire simultaneously with alternating gunfire! It doesn't have to be so intense, but the fire must never stop!"

Under Vice Admiral Tsuru's orders, the naval fleet spread out to the left and right, sailing while maneuvering the cannons on the sides of the ships to continuously spew fire.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

Charlotte Linlin, in her dragon form, lay on Zeus's back as the explosion of cannonballs engulfed her. During this time, Sengoku also unleashed a long-range shockwave at her, attempting to shatter Zeus beneath her and send her into the sea.

Faced with such a shameless attack, Charlotte Linlin not only did not curse, but also did not complain.

She simply flapped her wings, and Prometheus wrapped around her, propelling her into the air at incredible speed before swooping down towards the naval fleet.

"She's charging at us!!"

"defense!!"

"Anti-aircraft fire!!"

On the decks of the naval fleet, shouts and yells filled the air.

The golden Buddha, with heavy steps, rushed over from the side in an attempt to intercept them.

Unfortunately, Charlotte Linlin didn't give him a chance to intercept her. With a simple circling maneuver, she flew over the naval fleet.

Then, it spread its wings to the sides and let out a deafening dragon roar.

The dragon's roar materialized into sound waves, rapidly spreading outwards from Charlotte Linlin's center, accompanied by terrifying black and red lightning.

The elite marines on the naval warships, despite being elites from headquarters and various branches, could not withstand Charlotte Linlin's unrestrained release of Conqueror's Haki for long and collapsed one after another on the warship's deck.

Only a true master like Lieutenant General Tsuru, at the rank of lieutenant general, could maintain his composure amidst Charlotte Linlin's wide-ranging release of domineering aura.

"What terrifying Conqueror's Haki..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru knelt on the deck, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"No, if we were to apply this to Charlotte Linlin, calling it Dragon's Might would be a more fitting description."

After unleashing a powerful, wide-ranging dragon roar, Charlotte Linlin flapped her wings and opened her mouth to spew pink beams of dragon breath at the unconscious warships.

"stop!!"

The golden Buddha stood on the ice field, roaring.

However, the two sides are separated by a vast ocean, making it inconvenient for him to go there.

On the other hand, he was also worried that using long-range attacks would harm the naval soldiers on the warships.

Therefore, he could only stand on the ice field and stare blankly.

However, after the pink dragon breath landed on the ice, the expected explosion of the warship did not occur. Instead, nothing happened, as if Charlotte Linlin had vomited nothing at all.

Such a bizarre sight caused Sengoku to stop roaring and furrow his brow deeply.

As a veteran who had fought in wars for decades, he knew very well.

Compared to destructive skills like direct explosions, the most troublesome are the various Devil Fruit abilities that don't cause direct harm to the human body.

Those who have cultivated their Haki to the extreme are generally immune to over 90% of Devil Fruit abilities.

But the ordinary soldiers...

Charlotte Linlin used her dragon breath to blast all the warships that had been stunned by her domineering aura, and then flapped her wings and flew into the higher sky.

A smile flashed in her dragon eyes. After Zeus caught up, she quietly squatted on Zeus's back, ready to enjoy the show to come.

Sengoku frowned and watched as Charlotte Linlin took off directly into the air, showing no intention of continuing to fly down and fight. He then deactivated his transformation and used Moonwalk to fly onto the warship.

"Are you all alright?!"

Upon landing, Sengoku inquired about the group of General Tsuru with a concerned expression.

Lieutenant General Tsuru gripped the mast and gently shook his head.

"I am fine."

"That dragon's breath just now..."

"I wonder what Charlotte Linlin is up to."

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a worried expression, "Sengoku, I have a very bad feeling."

Sengoku looked at the unconscious naval soldiers with a grim face.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you.

As the two waited quietly, the soldiers who had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki gradually awoke.

"We are..."

"Conqueror's Haki!!"

The soldiers belatedly cried out in surprise, and soon they discovered that they were completely unharmed.

"A great general of the Warring States period!!"

"He's a general from the Warring States period!!"

"A great general from the Warring States period saved us!!"

A small misunderstanding arose, but Sengoku had no interest in explaining. Instead, he and Vice Admiral Tsuru questioned everyone.

"How are you? Is anything wrong?!"

The soldiers looked at each other, then fiddled with their hands and feet, checking themselves over.

"It seems... nothing's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Why are you all so nervous?"

A question arose: the navy inspected the area for a long time, but couldn't find anything wrong.

The somber mood on Sengoku and Tsuru's faces deepened.

"Lingling!!"

Unable to find the answer, Lieutenant General Crane roared angrily at the sky.

"What exactly did you do to the soldiers?!"

"Mommy!"

Zeus carried Charlotte Linlin and lowered the altitude slightly from the sky.

"What else could I do to them? Of course, I used my soul spell on them!!"

"Mommy!"

Amidst the laughter, Charlotte Linlin abruptly ordered, "All Marines, annihilate all other enemy Marines!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, all the naval soldiers who had been spewed dragon breath by Charlotte Linlin shuddered.

Immediately afterwards, their expressions turned fierce, and dark circles appeared around their eyes, as if they had been staying up all night.

Then, they swung their swords directly at their colleagues and superiors who had previously withstood Conqueror's Haki.

Sengoku and Tsuru no Chūjō were the first to be affected.

They had previously stood among the soldiers to investigate the effects of Charlotte Linlin's Dragon Breath.

At that moment, the soldiers defected, and countless bullets and swords immediately came hurtling towards them.

Fortunately, Sengoku reacted quickly enough, and Vice Admiral Tsuru himself was also quite strong.

After knocking out the soldiers one by one, Vice Admiral Tsuru activated the Wash-Wash Fruit's power.

With her power, the soldiers transformed into sheets that had been washed and dried, fluttering in the wind.

After laughing foolishly for a while, I finally snapped out of my daze.

"Just now...we were..."

"I'm sorry, Lord Tsuru, the Sengoku General..."

"We'll talk about apologies later!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a serious expression, "What were your feelings just now? What was the effect of Charlotte Linlin's ability?!"

"us……"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately began to offer their explanations all at once.

What can one know what they are doing, but their body is completely out of control, as if they have lost control of their body, or as if their body has been taken over by another personality?

After summarizing and analyzing Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's understanding of the Soul-Soul Fruit's abilities, a general judgment was reached.

"Lingling's soul spell has been upgraded!"

"No longer can she only imbue inanimate objects with souls; now she can directly control the souls of humans!"

"As long as you can't withstand the overwhelming power of her domineering aura, your soul will be completely controlled by her..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru sighed gravely, "What a terrifying ability..."

The Warring States period also looked grim.

According to this analysis, Charlotte Linlin has now become a completely taboo figure.

Anyone who is not strong enough will not only fail to help her in her siege, but will also become her subordinate!

Compared to Kaido's strength in a purely physical sense, Charlotte Linlin's strength made him more wary.

"Now I can only use my Wash-Wash Fruit ability..."

boom!!

Just as the two reached a conclusion, an explosion occurred on a distant warship.

"This is...no good!!"

With a strange cry, Vice Admiral Tsuru abandoned any further discussion and leaped onto the nearest warship, using the Moon Step technique.

"Hehehehe! Brothers! Kill Lieutenant General Crane!!"

The naval soldiers on the deck of the warship all looked fierce and pointed their guns at Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was flying towards them.

Not only them, but the other warships that had been silently surrounding the warship where Sengoku and his group were also opened fire at the same moment.

Boom boom boom...

Violent explosions rang out on both sides of the warship, causing the soldiers on board, including Sengoku, to lose their footing.

"Damn it! We forgot that this wasn't the only warship that was hit by dragon breath!!"

However, before the Warring States period could finish its exclamation, another, even more agonizing scream suddenly rang out.

"Damn it!! Hit those soldiers! Why are you hitting me?!"

Sengoku was stunned for a moment, looking at the warship beneath his feet with some disbelief.

"That scream just now, could it be...?"

"Hehehe! Who told you to stay there silently pretending to be dead! Didn't you hear your master's orders?! Disobeying orders means death!!"

Another voice rang out from not far away, and Sengoku turned his head to look.

Sure enough, the warships controlled by the "rebel" naval soldiers also "came to life" at this moment, and showed a fierce expression, threatening the warships they were on.
