"Singing Light Sword!"

A large amount of flames and lightning gathered on the forty-meter-long blade, and the entire blade was humming violently, as if this long sword, transformed from Napoleon in his bicorn hat, was also eager to drink the blood of its enemies.

However, this is not over yet!

Aunt Charlotte Lingling knew that this alone was not enough.

If Yang Ming is unafraid of attacks from thunder, it's hard to say he's also unafraid of attacks from fire.

Even though the Blade of Light combines the power of two elements, it is still not satisfactory, so we must add something else.

Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki followed suit, flowing into the sword. Together with flames, lightning, and sword energy, the five different abilities intertwined and crisscrossed, transforming into a point of white light that appeared at the top of the sword. As Charlotte Linlin fiercely cleaved the sword, a giant female-shaped blade of energy was unleashed forward.

This female-shaped sword aura, imbued with the soul aura of the Soul-Soul Fruit, not only possesses terrifying cutting power but can also act independently and pursue targets, making it comparable to an external avatar. The only drawback is that its existence is very short-lived, unable to linger in the mortal world for long.

Faced with Charlotte Linlin's strongest attack, Yang Ming couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"So, the Four Emperors are already this far behind me?"

With a slightly arrogant tone, Charlotte Linlin had already lost sight of Yang Ming. She had no idea how or when he had disappeared, but the warning from her Observation Haki made her feel uneasy, and she could hear Yang Ming's casual remark:

"Yin and Yang are in order, fate is unpredictable, and death is hard to predict, but it also has its rules."

Chapter 418 The Older Woman's Defeat

"So, the Four Emperors are already this far behind me?"

With a slightly arrogant tone, Charlotte Linlin had already lost sight of Yang Ming. She had no idea how or when he had disappeared, but the warning from her Observation Haki made her feel uneasy, and she could hear Yang Ming's casual remark:

"Yin and Yang are in order, fate is unpredictable, and death is hard to predict, but it also has its rules."

As Yang Ming's voice fell, the older woman, Charlotte Lingling, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She looked down and saw the tip of a Zanpakuto burning with flames right in front of her.

At the same time, a terrible feeling of dizziness arose, making the old lady Charlotte Linlin begin to feel drowsy.

She knew very well that once she closed her eyes, everything would be over.

However, the life force that kept flowing out of the wound was like a dam releasing a flood, rushing out without any regard for her will.

Her eyelids began to droop, growing heavier and heavier. In despair, Charlotte Linlin finally closed her eyes, her massive body collapsing with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Just as Yang Ming said, the Four Emperors are now quite far behind him.

He is no longer the boy who had to rack his brains and use all his trump cards to fight against Shiki the Golden Lion; he is now a Shura Marshal who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

Charlotte Linlin, after all, was just one of the Four Emperors, merely an insignificant stepping stone on his path to advancement.

Yang Ming's true rival has always been the reclusive Im, who lives behind the scenes of the World Government.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Yang Ming's ear.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Genshin Impact. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel that looked quite familiar to Yang Ming appeared.

The prizes on the lottery wheel are divided into several categories: summoned characters, artifacts, items, talent skills, and skins.

Turning his gaze away from the crumbling island, Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, felt a pang of melancholy.

"The kings of the old era fall one by one, and their corpses will eventually become the steps for the new king to ascend the throne."

"If it were Marshal Shura, he should be able to accomplish what Roger and Rocks were unable to do, right?"

"Unfortunately, he is not a member of the D clan."

A sudden, inexplicable feeling washed over him. Hades Rayleigh knew that, with Marshal Shura's abilities, he had clearly already known of Rayleigh's existence. If Rayleigh continued to linger here, Marshal Shura would probably not mind keeping him, a remnant of the old era, here as well.

Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, turned around and swam back to the Sabaody Archipelago via the same route he had taken.

He had already made up his mind that after returning to the Sabaody Archipelago this time, he would really retire from the world and never care about the rights and wrongs of this sea again. He would just be a swindling old man who could easily cheat and swindle.

Because Rayleigh had foreseen that as the remnants of the old era gradually perished, the era of Marshal Shura would truly arrive.

At that time, the honeymoon period between the World Government and the Navy will also expire, and conflicts between the two sides will begin to emerge.

Do not!

Furthermore, from the moment the Bigo Pirates were destroyed, the World Government would no longer tolerate the continued existence of a powerful Navy.

Sensing Rayleigh's departure using his Observation Haki, Yang Ming secretly curled his lip and thought to himself:

"It's so slippery!"

Rayleigh, the King of Darkness, has never been a villain or committed any crimes. Moreover, he had met Yang Ming once before. If it were not necessary, Yang Ming would not have targeted Rayleigh. However, if Rayleigh were to be ungrateful and try to rescue Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, then as Marshal Shura, Yang Ming could not stand idly by and would have no choice but to kill him.

Fortunately, Rayleigh was sensible enough to avoid an unnecessary conflict.

As Charlotte Linlin fainted, the three Homies she created—Zeus the Thundercloud, Prometheus the Sun, and Napoleon the Bicorn Hat—all sought revenge for their master or to abduct Charlotte Linlin from Yang Ming's hands.

Unfortunately, even Big Mom Charlotte Linlin was no match for Yang Ming, and couldn't even force Yang Ming to use his Zanpakuto's Bankai. Naturally, these three Homies quickly followed in Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's footsteps and became Yang Ming's prisoners one after another.

Yang Ming covered his hands with a layer of shimmering light and used the Dual-Handed Technique and Spirit-Binding Technique from the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. He first examined the three Homies with his palms.

Today, Yang Ming's understanding of the soul is completely different from what it used to be.

After all, in order to enable the Six Paths Puppet to act autonomously outside, Yang Ming had previously captured the souls of powerful individuals he killed and injected them into the Six Paths Puppet.

In Yang Ming's view, the souls of the deceased differ depending on their strength in life.

The souls of ordinary people are like candle flames, easily extinguished with a breath.

The souls of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are like fireballs the size of basketballs, radiating light and heat.

The souls of the Four Emperors are like giant meteors, radiating not only light and heat but also an invisible radiant energy—the Conqueror's Haki, an innate power of kings that subconsciously commands respect and submission from others.

The souls of Zeus the thundercloud and Prometheus the sun were ordinary, but the soul of Napoleon the bicorn hat was somewhat special, but that was all.

Immediately, Yang Ming placed both palms on the old woman Charlotte Lingling and observed the soul within her body from a unique perspective.

Just as Yang Ming had expected, there were indeed two souls within Charlotte Linlin's enormous body. One was like a giant shooting star, but it lived in a corner of the soul space. It had the appearance of Charlotte Linlin, but it had a childishness and immaturity that did not match its age. It had its eyes closed, its body curled up, and drool was dripping from the corner of its mouth, giving the impression that it was sleeping soundly.

Chapter 419 Covering the Entire World, Soul Network

Just as Yang Ming had expected, there were indeed two souls within Charlotte Linlin's enormous body. One was like a giant shooting star, but it lived in a corner of the soul space. It had the appearance of Charlotte Linlin, but it had a childishness and immaturity that did not match its age. It had its eyes closed, its body curled up, and drool was dripping from the corner of its mouth, giving the impression that it was sleeping soundly.

Clearly, this is the real Charlotte Linlin. She only occasionally comes out for some fresh air when she is in a state of binge eating. Most of the time, she exists here as a second personality, entering a deep sleep.

Not far away was an older woman, much shorter in stature, with a weathered and ugly face. She was none other than Sister Carmel, who, with the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, usually controlled this body as her primary personality, doing whatever she pleased.

This also explains why Charlotte Linlin disregarded her reputation and health, had multiple husbands, and fathered dozens of children with them.

Even though women on this vast sea have considerable freedom in their sexual orientation, they also possess a unique sense of modesty. Most women cherish their bodies and rarely mistreat themselves like Charlotte Linlin.

If this wasn't originally her body, then everything makes perfect sense.

This can be seen in Charlotte Linlin's usual attitude towards her children. It's not how she treats her own flesh and blood. It's more like she treats her children as tools to achieve her own goals.

As for whether it is or not?

One look will tell.

As Yang Ming unleashed his dual-wielding and spirit-binding abilities, penetrating deep into Sister Carmel's soul, her soul began to twitch involuntarily. At the same time, fragments of her long-forgotten memories began to flash before Yang Ming's eyes like slides.

Sister Carmel is a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, and without a powerful body, she naturally cannot fully utilize its abilities.

Back then, she managed the monastery, secretly helped the world government adopt orphans, and secretly sent them to become experimental subjects. In fact, she also had her own plans, silently selecting the people she wanted to possess and be reborn, hoping that she could live a wonderful second life.

As for why she didn't seek out a powerful adult to possess, it's because adults have a stronger will when souls fight for bodies. Moreover, an adult with the kind of physique that Sister Carmelo desired is already a powerful figure in themselves, having already cultivated an indestructible will, making them an object she simply cannot covet.

Only children have weak willpower and their bodies are still developing. If they successfully possess someone, it's like living a second life, with a longer lifespan and a body with better potential, which they can train according to their own plan.

Sister Carmelo worked in the convent for decades, keeping it a secret from everyone. Finally, as her life was drawing to a close, she met the person she had been waiting for.

After reading about Sister Carmel's life, Yang Ming felt a pang of emotion.

It has to be said that Sister Carmel is practically a female version of Blackbeard.

Such spirit and perseverance in remaining hidden for decades, just for a vague and unattainable goal, is something that even Yang Ming himself would find difficult to guarantee he could do.

But Sister Carmelo did it, and with incredible luck, she succeeded.

After Sister Carmel successfully possessed Charlotte Linlin, she followed her original plan, first frantically training her physical body, and then, by "chance," joined the Rocks Pirates and became a member of their crew.

Yang Ming really wanted to see what exactly happened to the Rocks Pirates on God Island back then.

But when he had this thought, only a series of tremors came from Sister Carmel's soul, as if that memory contained some terrible things that had left an indelible psychological shadow on Sister Carmel back then, and even after so many years, she was unwilling to recall that memory again.

Yang Ming didn't press the matter.

"My six puppets, together with the Dark Lord Li Qing, have already gathered pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, and gluttony. The last one missing is lust, so let Aunt Charlotte Linlin take that role."

As for saving Charlotte Linlin's weak and pitiful soul?

Please, Yang Ming never acts as someone else's babysitter!

After withdrawing his consciousness, spatial cracks appeared behind Yang Ming, gradually revealing a spatial gate. Thick tendrils of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree emerged from the alternate dimension, tightly wrapping around Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's body. At the same time, unique black clubs, like nails, firmly nailed to Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's body.

Once the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree's Mushu completely enveloped Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, Yang Ming was able to control her and use this unique Six Paths puppet to unleash the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

By this time, it was already dark.

The sun had already set, leaving only a faint afterglow in the sky, reflecting on the water and turning the sea a rosy color.

A full moon rose into the sky, its crimson light casting a soft glow that reflected the enormous magatama, enveloping the world.
