Uchiha's personal opinion

But Charlotte Linlin, in her frenzied state, was also incredibly fierce and engaged in close combat with Sakazuki.

Under the combined attack of the two big bosses, Aramaki gradually began to fall into a disadvantageous position. After all, he also had to pay attention to maintaining the existence of the sea forest, otherwise his boss would fall into the sea with the old lady!

Just as Aragaki was distracted and created another sea forest to block Jin's aerial attack, a figure suddenly appeared behind him out of nowhere—

Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to his blind spot!

"what!"

In that instant, Aramaki's Observation Haki also sensed it.

"Sealing Technique: Eight Trigrams Sealing!"

However, Minato Namikaze did not launch a direct attack. Instead, he lightly 'touched' Aramaki's left leg and then disappeared again.

Before the bewildered Huang Mu could even react, he felt that he had lost all feeling in his left leg!

"asshole!"

Although he managed to forcefully break free from the abnormal sensation in his left leg using Armament Haki, Aramaki was completely overwhelmed by the two top members who found an opportunity.

Then, a loud bang came from the bottom of the warship, which was sheltered by the sea forest!

A huge fat man punched through the bottom of the sea!

"What the hell is this?!"

Sakazuki glanced at it distractedly.

And the seemingly crazy Charlotte Linlin immediately seized the opportunity!

"Fire the light cannon!"

A massive laser beam shot out from the tip of the sword, nearly knocking down the lava-formed Sakazuki.

Then, she combined the powers of the three special Homies—

"Mother visits the cannon, three thousand miles away!"

Before you know it, Sakazuki has also found himself in a passive position!

"retreat!"

Sakassky immediately shouted.

The suppressed Huang Mu no longer hesitated and released the protection he had given to the warship beneath him, allowing the power of Jin and Quinn to bombard the warship, which then forcibly created a sea passage made of trees!

"Don't even think about running!"

Charlotte Linlin, who had finally gained the upper hand, laughed maniacally and launched a frantic attack in an attempt to restrain Sakazuki, who was about to shout "retreat."

……

On the sea, as the naval warships that had retreated to a safe distance approached the combat zone, a naval officer dialed Sengoku's Den Den Mushi: "Fleet Admiral, Admiral Akainu has been entangled with Big Mom."

"I see!"

Sengoku, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, replied with a single sentence and then hung up.

Based on the Sengoku period's understanding of Sakazuki, it was clear that the so-called 'luring the enemy' was impossible.

Therefore, he made two preparations from the very beginning.

"Mishimishi!"

Sengoku dialed Admiral Kuzan's Den Den Mushi: "You and Kizaru immediately head towards Sakazuki's location to provide reinforcements! I'll be there shortly!"

"understood!"

Although the two had always been at odds, Kuzan, who was riding his bicycle on the frozen sea, agreed.

"The distance isn't far..."

Kuzan roughly estimated the distance, then began to fully activate the power of his Devil Fruit, creating an ice road on the sea surface leading to the horizon, and then began to sprint at full speed!

Chapter 543 Failure at the Last Minute

Just as Charlotte Linlin was fiercely battling and gradually gaining the upper hand, a long, solid ice road came from the horizon at almost the speed of a cannonball!

"boom!"

The ice path that flew into the combat zone began to crack inch by inch under the combined attack of the chaotic and turbulent forces, but it still stubbornly pressed forward.

Moreover, the existence of the ice path is gradually extinguishing the spreading flames, and even some of the restless underwater volcanoes are beginning to subside.

This is enough to demonstrate that this sudden ice path was actually maintained by a powerful being.

"Kuzan!"

"Aokiji!"

Sakazuki and Jhin both called out the name at the same time.

Then, at the end of the ice rink, a figure appeared on the sea surface, pedaling a bicycle furiously. It was none other than Admiral Kuzan of the Marine Headquarters, codenamed 'Aokiji'!

Minato Namikaze had already read about this Marine Admiral in the First Army's battle reports and had a fairly deep impression of him. Seeing this, he took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Kaido of the Beasts Pirates.

"Mishimishi!"

Kaido answered the Den Den Mushi as soon as it started 'Blue'.

"G1 Branch, offshore, come quick!"

Minato Namikaze's words are concise and to the point.

"what happened?"

Kaido was somewhat taken aback.

Although he has been preparing for battle with all his might, his pirate crew has not yet completed their preparations, so he is still stuck on Onigashima, anxiously waiting.

"Aokiji arrives to the rescue when Akainu is under siege!"

Minato Namikaze immediately said.

"Let Shanks do me a favor!"

Kaido panicked upon hearing this and quickly offered advice to Minato Namikaze: "Although he doesn't have many men under his command, their strength is still quite good!"

"Fine, I'll contact him right now using a Den Den Mushi!"

After saying that, Kaido immediately hung up the communication with Minato Namikaze.

"Looks like you still miss her."

Minato Namikaze muttered something, put away the Den Den Mushi, and disappeared again.

At this moment, the sea area where the battle took place had become a scene of scorching heat and boiling water. Sakazuki, Charlotte Linlin, and King were all powerful individuals who were extremely skilled in using the power of fire, and even the seawater could not weaken their power much.

Under the combined attack of Jhin and Quinn, Aramu has been put on the defensive, but with his formidable strength, he is not in immediate danger of dying. He is just feeling frustrated by being beaten up.

But Kuzan's arrival will change all that.

Although he was put on the defensive due to a moment of carelessness, Sakazuki immediately took advantage of Big Mom's distraction after the ice path appeared to turn the tide and once again engage Big Mom in an evenly matched battle!

Although Kuzan and Sakazuki have never gotten along due to their personalities, even Sakazuki, their old rival, had to acknowledge the timing of Kuzan's arrival, as it would completely disrupt the balance of power between the two sides.

Moreover, directly using the power of a Devil Fruit to freeze a passage from an extremely long distance is simply too extravagant!

In terms of straight-line distance, it is not far from Onigashima to the outskirts of the G1 branch, but the problem is that the distance from the G1 branch to send support to the open sea is even shorter.

Charlotte Linlin, who had been attacking wildly with bloodshot eyes, regained some composure and began to assess the situation from her cloud-like position.

Meanwhile, Sakazuki began to lend a helping hand to Aramaki during this free time, forcing back the two big bosses who were attacking him.

However, after a major battle and the laying of ice paths by Kuzan, all the naval personnel on the warship that remained to fight alongside Sakazuki and his companion were wiped out.

"What a misfortune..."

Sakazuki sighed, then looked up at Charlotte Linlin, who was observing the battle from her cloud.

"Auntie, are you chickening out?"

With reinforcements on their way, Sakazuki became even more arrogant and domineering: "Forget it, you'd better hurry back to Totland, or your family line will be wiped out!"

"Oh, right, they shouldn't be childless yet. The others are still naked at Marine Headquarters!"

"But do you think they'll end up being sent to Enies Lobby or handed over to the Celestial Dragons?"

'Snapped! '

Charlotte Linlin felt her nerves snap again!

"Mom's attack!"

The giant sword, spinning with immense power and accompanied by thunder, was once again wielded by Charlotte Linlin as it charged towards the outspoken Sakazuki.

"Good timing!"

Although Kuzan had not yet joined the battle, Sakazuki, believing that his subordinates were all dead anyway and that he himself would not die in battle, once again gathered his strength and began to fight Big Mom.

Unlike the previous air-to-ground exchange, Sakazuki began to feel the pressure.

Charlotte Linlin is known for her strength and defense, and her Devil Fruit, the Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit, allows her to imbue her body organs with her soul for healing purposes. Therefore, Sakazuki's lava attacks often only leave some charred marks on her skin, which quickly disappear without a trace.

Although the Soul-Soul Fruit requires life force to heal and enhance one's strength, in terms of sheer vitality, probably no one in the entire pirate world can compare to Charlotte Linlin, who possesses the Soul-Soul Fruit and collects life force from the residents of Totto Land twice a year.

Therefore, even though Sakazuki's melee skills were relatively more proficient and he had more experience in close combat, he was still unable to defeat Charlotte Linlin in her berserk state, and even had difficulty breaking through her defenses!

Moreover, judging from the strength of the old lady's attack and her relentless attitude, it would probably be no problem for her to continue this truce for half a month!

However, if the time drags on, Kaido and Whitebeard on Onigashima, even if they don't intend to send troops, will probably be unable to resist the urge to 'take a gamble'.

Therefore, Sakazuki must turn the tide.

But it's clear that this is beyond his capabilities.

However, Kuzan's arrival also relieved his pressure.

"Frozen time capsule!"

Halfway through, Kuzan unleashed a shockwave of extremely low temperature towards Charlotte Linlin, who was inflicting abuse. While freezing and extinguishing her fire power, it also extinguished Sakazuki's outer lava!

"That brain-dead idiot!"

Sakazuki couldn't tell whether his arch-nemesis Kuzan was acting intentionally or unintentionally, but since they were still in battle, he couldn't afford to argue. So he once again activated the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit and shot it at Charlotte Linlin.
