Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"That's right!"

Katakuri stood in front of his brothers and sisters, speaking firmly.

"This is my rebellion against my mother, and also my rebellion to liberate the Charlotte family. It's time for my mother's brutal rule to end!"

The next moment, Perospero roared angrily.

"Foolish! Katakuri, you traitor, you speak so righteously, don't you know what losing your mother means to the Charlotte family? Will the Charlotte family still be able to protect Whole Cake Island then?"

“You’re the fool, Perospero! Compared to power and status, aren’t the lives of our brothers and sisters more important? If maintaining Whole Cake Island requires constantly sacrificing the lives of our brothers and sisters, then it wouldn’t matter if Whole Cake Island were destroyed!” Katakuri retorted angrily.

"Shut up, Katakuri! This is a betrayal of Mother, a betrayal of the clan, a betrayal of the entire Whole Cake Island!"

"Candy Waves!"

Perospero's eyes widened, and he pointed his cane at Katakuri, sending a massive wave of candy syrup crashing down on him.

"You're the one who should shut up, Perospero! Haven't you witnessed enough of your brothers and sisters growing up trembling in fear under their mother's shadow, always on the verge of being chewed up and swallowed up by her?!"

In response, Katakuri also unleashed a large wave of white mochi in retaliation against Perospero.

"boom!"

For a moment, Katakuri and Perospero, who were locked in fierce combat, were locked in a battle, while the other Charlotte Family executives looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation.

Without a doubt, this applies to the children of the Charlotte family.

Aside from blood ties, they have almost no kinship with Charlotte Linlin. They are merely pawns for Charlotte Linlin to achieve her ideals, and also food that Charlotte Linlin can devour at any time.

However, given Charlotte Linlin's absolute power and fear in the past, almost no member of the Charlotte family dared to even entertain the thought of turning the tables.

now……

Perospero shouted at the other executives, and found that apart from a few executives who were not members of the Charlotte family who took action, the rest of the Charlotte family members showed almost no intention of moving.

"hateful!"

Perospero witnessed this scene, while fending off Katakuri's offensive, he also ordered a large number of Homies to support Charlotte Linlin!

As the Charlotte Family member who has followed Charlotte Linlin the longest, Perospero is very clear about Charlotte Linlin's "Soul-Soul Fruit" ability, and understands that the "Soul-Soul Fruit" needs to rely on a large number of souls to truly exert its power.

However, in this special space of the Mirror World, there are almost no other souls besides the "BIG MOM Pirates".

This was undoubtedly one of the worst combat environments for Charlotte Linlin!

and so……

"At the very least, we need to get the Homies, who house a large number of souls, to support Mother..."

However, as a barrage of lightning struck, the Homies who attempted to attack Enel were almost completely annihilated without any chance of resistance.

“Oh no…” Perospero.

……

Meanwhile, several kilometers away from Enel, Charlotte Linlin, who had been pushed there by "Godslayer Spear," got up from the ground almost unharmed. She then licked her lips and stared at Arn, who was following closely behind, with an extremely hungry look.

"I've just realized that your soul aura... is incredibly alluring, far more so than that guy Corazon's..."

As she said this, Charlotte Lingling, who was staring at Yann, almost uncontrollably drooled, her excitement as if she were a drug addict.

"Kid, how about being my husband? Your rudeness, Katakuri's betrayal—it doesn't matter. I can forgive you all. I can even skip going to Marineford next..."

"All I want now is you..."

[Chapter 777. The Greatly Free and Unfettered Heavenly God]

Charlotte Linlin's sudden and unconventional confession caused Yaen's expression to falter...

Only...only me?!

Yann swallowed hard, looking at Charlotte Linlin, who resembled a mountain of flesh, with liquid still flowing wildly from her gaping maw. He suddenly realized the immense pressure that Corazon had once felt when he broke down in front of him.

Instinctively, for the first time, Yann took a half step back in front of the enemy!

“mamama…”

Charlotte Linlin stared at Yann with a crazed and greedy expression, as if she were looking at the most delicious dessert in the world, and let out a strange laugh.

The next moment, Charlotte Linlin's massive, mountain-like body crashed down on Yern.

"boom!"

The instant Charlotte Linlin pounced, Yann vanished and reappeared a hundred meters behind her.

“Mama…”

Charlotte Linlin, who was half-lying on the ground, turned her head to look at Yann behind her and said with a big grin.

"Don't even think about escaping, Terfim Yarn! Even if I have to turn the whole ocean upside down, I'll get you!"

Yarne maintained a calm expression as he said, "Charlotte Linlin, it seems you're a bit out of touch with reality. You're merely a pawn I've chosen."

"Chess piece?! Mm~"

Charlotte Linlin, wielding the Napoleon-style saber that had been transformed from a special Homie, exclaimed excitedly and wildly, "I'm only interested in becoming your wife!"

Immediately, Charlotte Linlin leaped up again, her Napoleon saber slicing through the air towards Yann as she shouted.

"Trying to resist? Mama~ That will only excite me more! I don't care if I cut off your limbs, I'm going to have you!!"

The next moment, as Napoleon's saber crashed down, a huge crack was instantly torn open in the ground of the Mirror World.

only……

Charlotte Linlin turned her head to look at the other side again, while Yann stood up slowly and gracefully.

"Mama~ Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin laughed wildly and continued chasing after Yann. Wherever her huge Napoleon saber passed, the ground and walls of the Mirror World began to crack.

Throughout the entire process, Yann almost exclusively used his super-fast Instant Step to dodge Charlotte Linlin's attacks, and then unknowingly led Charlotte Linlin to a more distant place.

However, Charlotte Linlin, who was in a state of extreme excitement and frenzy at the moment, was completely unaware of this fact. She even completely forgot about the betrayal of the Charlotte family's children and Katakuri. Her eyes were fixed on Yann. Standing on the "Sun Cloud Prometheus", she frantically chased after Yann.

"Mama~ Yaen, fight back! Are you just going to cowardly run away? If you've got the guts, then fight back against me!"

"Come on, didn't you plan to turn me into a pawn?"

"Just running away won't turn me into a pawn! Go ahead and use your skills on me, mamama~"

……

However, as Charlotte Linlin struggled to reach Arn from beginning to end, she became increasingly agitated. She no longer resorted to simply unleashing powerful slashes with her Napoleon saber, but instead pulled off another special Homie behind her, "Thundercloud Zeus".

Try this!

"The Great Free God of the Heavenly Realm!"

The next moment, "Thundercloud Zeus" transformed into vast thunderstorm clouds in Charlotte Linlin's hands, completely enveloping the mirror world, which spanned several kilometers, including Yann's.

"Lightning strike!"

In an instant, lightning bolts pierced through the thunderclouds from all directions and struck down on Yann, who was moving rapidly below.

"Boom!"

Arn's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he unleashed his Observation Haki, he darted through the lightning that was about to intertwine into a net of thunder.

however……

Just as Yaen passed through the lightning net, the lightning bolts seemed to have been infused with a soul and possessed their own consciousness. They suddenly turned around and surrounded Yaen from behind again.

In an instant, with their escape routes blocked, the area around Yann was completely filled with countless sentient lightning bolts.

"Crackling and popping!"

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Yann's position almost became a blinding source of light from the interwoven lightning. The lightning bolts, possessing their own consciousness, rained down upon him with terrifying power, almost like a torrential downpour.

"mama~"

Upon seeing this, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but grin widely, instinctively licking her lips as if she were about to truly savor the delicious food.

However, Charlotte Linlin suddenly noticed a touch of cherry blossom color around her, and then countless cherry blossoms slowly floated up from the ground.

"Huh? These are... cherry blossoms?!"

Before Charlotte Linlin could react, countless cherry blossoms suddenly shot into the sky like a vast ocean, tearing apart the thunderstorm clouds above and the lightning web formed by the intertwined lightning.

At the center of the slowly dissipating lightning net, a sphere formed by countless cherry blossom petals was slowly rotating, revealing Yaen, who was protected unharmed at the center.

"Mama~ Is this the legendary 'Cherry Blossom Fruit'?" Charlotte Linlin asked with a loud laugh.

Yone adjusted his glasses, having given up on correcting Charlotte Linlin's statement, and instead said, "This distance should be about right."

"What distance?" Charlotte Linlin asked.

"Of course, it's the distance at which your 'Soul-Soul Fruit' can forcibly seize a soul."

"I answered calmly," Yaen replied.

"Besides being able to unleash all sorts of incredible powers by using souls, your 'Soul-Soul Fruit' can also be used to heal various physical injuries by manipulating souls to empower yourself, right?"

After a pause, Yann's lips curved slightly as he spoke.

"It must be admitted that as long as you still have enough soul power, you are practically immortal. Therefore, compared to the Myriad Kingdoms Sea, which contains a large number of souls, the Mirror World is undoubtedly a battlefield that can easily defeat you."

Faced with Yann's words, Charlotte Linlin's previously manic expression subsided somewhat, and a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes.

However, Charlotte Linlin quickly relaxed again and excitedly said to Yaen, "Mama~ Is this your way of rebelling? Bring it on, whatever you've got!"

"Don't worry, I'll make you a qualified pawn very soon..."

As was his habit, Arn pushed up his glasses, and a large number of cherry blossoms once again gathered in Arn's hand to form a Zanpakuto.

"Swastika: Dairedren Hyōrinmaru!"

[Chapter 778. Mother Visits Cannons Three Thousand Miles Away]

The next moment, as twelve ice flowers gathered above Yaen's head, his body was covered with dragon-shaped solid ice, and an extremely cold aura began to emanate from Yaen.

Charlotte Linlin was stunned by the changes that occurred in Yann, who was clearly a user of the "Sakura-Sakura Fruit" ability, and murmured in confusion.

"Ice? What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Arn, with his cold gaze, had no intention of wasting words with Charlotte Linlin. As a large amount of spiritual pressure erupted, the twelve-petaled ice flower above his head withered rapidly, and the dragon-shaped ice on his body quickly merged into Arn's body, making the extremely cold aura even more terrifying.
