Uchiha's personal opinion

He also intentionally or unintentionally forgot the fact that his Devil Fruit ability and Kuzan were inherently incompatible, so when Sakazuki launched a counter-charge, the extremely high temperature emanating from his body was melting Kuzan's solid ice.

Perhaps it was because of that slight temperature difference that, just as Sakazuki punched Charlotte Linlin's head (which wasn't frozen), Big Mom managed to escape—

"Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"

Charlotte Linlin covered the sword Holzmi with the flames of the Sun Holzmi and swung it down from above, sending Sakazuki flying!

Even Kuzan, who had just arrived at the battle zone, was stunned by this scene!

'Match-fixing?'

This was the first thought that popped into Kuzan's mind when he saw this scene.

Although the two are enemies, Kuzan actually knows that Sakazuki's fighting ability is slightly stronger than his own—although the difference is very small.

Therefore, there is no way that Sakazuki could be so easily defeated!

But faced with Charlotte Linlin charging in a rage, Kuzan had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.

Kuzan first nimbly dodged the old woman's sword slash, then lowered his body and moved his feet to the right on the ice, thus flashing into the old woman's blind spot.

"Ice Gloves!"

Then, Kuzan transformed his right fist into an elemental form, combining it with Haki and the iron fist he inherited from Garp, and slammed it viciously into the outside of Big Mom's left leg—he couldn't reach it any higher!

"Frozen Moment!"

At the same time as his right fist landed, Kuzan also released freezing air outwards from his fist, attempting to freeze the old woman's body.

But the woman acted as if nothing had happened, and as she turned around, she shattered the ice on her leg and reached out to grab him with her left hand.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Kuzan cursed under his breath, but could only quickly slide backward.

That punch, which could send even his mentor and friend Garp flying, felt like a tickle to Charlotte Linlin.

This is the benefit of having a huge size and super strong defense.

Charlotte Linlin's rise to become one of the Four Emperors was not due to having many children or being promiscuous, but rather to her strength, which was enough to make her stand at the top of the world.

"Netherhound!"

Just as Kuzan made a tactical retreat, Sakazuki's attack arrived in an instant. His extended lava-like right arm punched Charlotte Linlin in the face, burning her cheek until the bone was exposed.

But the woman just shouted angrily, then gave up chasing Kuzan and turned to charge at Sakazuki.

As for the injuries on his face, they healed almost completely within a few steps!

Furthermore, because Sakazuki's Devil Fruit ability and Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit are incompatible, the ice left by Kuzan began to melt when Sakazuki launched his attack.

Therefore, the combined effect of the two generals not only failed to achieve a synergistic effect, but the result was 1+1<2.

But no matter what, even if they clash, a two-person battle is much easier than a one-on-one fight with an older woman.

"Sealing Technique: Fire Sealing Seal!"

Just as Sakazuki was laughing wildly and throwing a punch, Minato Namikaze's ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, then 'touched' his waist and disappeared without a trace!

"Well!"

The Devil Fruit power in his waist area briefly disappeared, and tiny poisonous insects attached themselves to his body in a very short time, but were then completely annihilated by the Devil Fruit power and sealing techniques. Sakazuki almost twisted his back!

The sharp-eyed woman immediately swung her longsword at his abdomen. If Sakazuki hadn't had decent Armament Haki, he probably would have been cut in half on the spot!

"This is truly an incredible ability!"

Sakazuki, still cursing, stepped back again, leaving the fight to Kuzan.

Kuzan's freezing effect extinguished the scattered embers of lava, calming Big Mom down a little.

Something's not right...

Charlotte Linlin finally snapped out of her daze, and her Observation Haki, which had been useless in her rage, began to send warning signals through her mind.

"You must retreat immediately!"

"what?"

While leisurely ganging up on Huang Mu, the two big shots who were observing the battle between the Admiral and the Sea Emperor were somewhat puzzled.

"This is a trap!"

Charlotte Linlin shouted at the top of her lungs.

Minato Namikaze closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then his expression changed drastically.

"Go to sea!"

Minato Namikaze immediately shouted.

He then quickly used ninjutsu to create a giant wave that swept over his back!

"...Someone actually managed to detect my presence!"

A figure leaped up, avoiding the impact of the giant wave, and landed on a piece of floating ice.

The newcomer was none other than Admiral Kizaru Borsalino of the Marine Headquarters!

Then, a line of warships appeared on the sea surface behind them.

Standing at the bow of the first warship was none other than Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters!

"go!"

Seeing this, Inuzuka Jacques no longer hesitated and quickly pulled his three juniors into the sea. At the same time, Konan activated her special bloodline ability, Paper Release, and covered the motorboat with countless explosive tags!

"boom!"

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the 'self-destruction' of the motorboat, his subordinates quickly submerged and disappeared without a trace. Only Minato Namikaze himself, relying on his Flying Thunder God Technique, was still in place, showing both skill and daring.

Charlotte Linlin was now fully awake.

"The three admirals of the Navy Headquarters..."

The old woman's expression grew increasingly ferocious as she mechanically scanned the three admirals, one glance at a time, before finally fixing her gaze on Sengoku, who was sailing forward: "And the Fleet Admiral of the Headquarters! Making such a grand display... these navy brats really think highly of me!"

"This old lady has enjoyed her moment of glory for so many years; it's time for her to die..."

Sengoku leaped onto the ice and joined the three generals in surrounding Charlotte Linlin.

"So it was the four of you who attacked Totland?"

Charlotte Linlin gripped her Homie sword tightly and said through gritted teeth.

"That's right!"

Golden light began to emanate from Sengoku's body.

"Radiant Sword!"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly sprang into action, concentrating the power of the thundercloud and the Sun Homie into her sword, and slashed fiercely at Sengoku.

"Ho!"

With a loud shout, the golden light on his body instantly condensed into a giant golden Buddha, forcefully withstanding Charlotte Linlin's attack!

At the same time, the Buddha's golden arm reached forward and grabbed the old woman's right hand holding the sword.

"Ice Cube - Tyrannosaurus Beak!"

Kuzan immediately condensed cold air on his arm, which then transformed into a giant ice sculpture bird that struck the old woman whose arm was being held.

"Snapped!"

Although Charlotte Linlin hurled the Sun Homie Prometheus at the ice bird, the freezing air that spread after the explosion still froze half of her body!

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Kizaru's attacks came one after another, and countless light bullets engulfed Sengoku and Big Mom in a barrage of attacks.

But that wasn't the end of it. Under Sakazuki's influence, the underwater volcano became active again.

"Ninja Art: Dark Travel Technique!"

Just as the four were about to deliver the fatal blow, everything suddenly went black before their eyes, and they completely lost their sight!

Although they can still perceive the outside world with their Observation Haki, even a powerful admiral will habitually enter a self-defense state when plunged into darkness.

Therefore, the originally tight encirclement began to show some disarray.

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

Subsequently, under Minato Namikaze's control, the waves began to surge and form a huge water film sphere, which covered the combat area.

"careful!"

Although Sengoku did not regain his sight, he could smell the suddenly strong scent of 'sea stone'!

The three generals were no ordinary fighters either, and they immediately unleashed countless attacks in the direction of the senses!

"Ms. Charlotte..."

Minato Namikaze didn't expect these two ninjutsu to be of much use, after all, his target was Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors: "Please come with me!"

"...How do I leave?"

The woman immediately asked.

"Just relax your guard and withdraw the released power..."

Minato Namikaze, who had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach Big Mom's shoulder, took a deep breath and began frantically drawing chakra to strengthen the Flying Thunder God Technique—after all, Big Mom was a towering 8.8 meters tall, so the amount of chakra required to carry her away was naturally exponentially increasing.

"Oh no, quick..."

After finally dispelling the mysterious force obscuring his vision with his Haki, Sengoku's first sight was of Minato Namikaze on Big Mom's shoulder.

"Goodbye, you pirate barbarians..."

Minato Namikaze muttered to himself.

In terms of sheer strength, he's no match for the general.

But as a ninja, what one is best at is acting in secret. Minato Namikaze was simply using tactical design to deceive others in order to achieve his desired goal.

Just as Sengoku and the three generals were about to make their move, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and then disappeared without a trace along with Charlotte Linlin!

"—Flying Thunder God Technique!"
