Chapter 43: Chapter 41 Reversal (Part 1)
Whole Cake Island
Black Feather: Feather Slash!
This is one of L'Aquila's unique combat skills. It combines Haki, physical skills, and abilities. As a Zoan user focusing on physical development, his feathers can grow and recover instantly, providing him with an endless arsenal of weapons.
Especially when launched from the air, it delivers a terrifying blow to the enemy.
In terms of Haki and physical skills, Oven was obviously inferior, so he could not completely resist the opponent's attack.
In fact, with L'Aquila's ability, he could completely use his air superiority to wear down his opponent, but he still chose to confront the opponent head-on. Otherwise, he could win the battle at a smaller cost.
Oven gasped violently and cursed: "You just hide in the sky and play some tricks, right?"
L'Aquila looked down at him coldly without saying a word, then folded her wings and swooped down again.
Oven smiled sinisterly; he just wanted to provoke the opponent to come down. Only in close combat could he fully utilize his own advantages.
When all his remaining physical strength was used to activate his heat energy, his whole body turned into a blazing red figure, as if it was going to ignite the surrounding air.
"Heat Devil!"
Oven roared angrily, and his high-temperature body fired a red beam at the opponent. Unlike lasers, he emitted the thermal energy accumulated in his body in an instant, and the light was just an energy reaction phenomenon caused by the high-temperature attack.
Unexpectedly, L'Aquila's Observation Haki had already sensed this attack in advance, and at the critical moment, she changed her flight path to avoid this terrifying thermal attack.
"Damn it!" Oven's eyes were splitting. This move was already his desperate attempt, but he still couldn't touch the opponent.
After releasing the huge energy, the exhausted Oven could only reluctantly return to normal.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at L'Aquila, who was slowly gliding down towards him.
His extreme anger and unwillingness made him forget his fatigue, and he rushed forward desperately.
Outside the Cake Castle
Members of the Charlotte family were waiting for the outcome of the battle.
As the eldest daughter, Compote kept the younger siblings in check, scolding: "It's unbecoming to talk too much! Don't you have any confidence in your brothers?"
Mondor said, "Sister Compote, those two bastards, King and L'Aquila, really don't take our Big Mom Pirates seriously. If we don't show them some color, who will fear us in the future?"
Compote said coldly, "Arrogance also requires skills, and I just have it! If you have the skills, go ahead; otherwise, you're just stirring up trouble here!"
She then glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Katakuri has tried his best to control the situation and save face for the family! If you can't help, at least don't cause trouble!"
Thinking about what her younger siblings had done without permission before, she became very angry. If not for that, Oven wouldn't have fought L'Aquila.
But as one of the New World Four Emperors pirates, their family had always been arrogant and domineering. Their members had long developed the habit of being arrogant.
Previously, with Charlotte Linlin behind them, the outside world was wary of them. But since the news of their mother's disgrace in Wano, it has been a huge blow to the entire Totto Land kingdom.
Many affiliated pirate groups had broken away without authorization. In the past, this was punishable by death, but now the entire country was panicked and unstable, and no one could address this.
Katakuri personally stayed on Whole Cake Island to stabilize the people and control the situation. The other two generals led the pirate group members to run around the sea areas they ruled.
Today, the Charlotte family faced a crisis not seen in decades. Maintaining the status quo was challenging, so every decision had to be cautious.
The Beasts Pirates, also one of the Four Emperors pirate groups, had turned defeat into victory in that battle, becoming the strongest overlord in the New World. They were the least enemies the Charlotte family could make now.
Older family leaders like Compote and Katakuri knew this well, but some younger members still couldn't see the situation clearly.
Just as she sighed helplessly, a huge shadow appeared on the ground, causing everyone to look up.
In the sky, L'Aquila slowly flapped her wings. The hooks under her feet tightly grasped the seriously injured and unconscious Oven, and then she threw him directly to them.
The entire Charlotte family looked at this scene in shock and silence.
The first to react was Butter Minister Opera. He and several brothers quickly stepped forward to catch Oven.
"Brother Oven, who is like a monster, actually lost?"
"Lost?"
Many young members of the Charlotte family could not believe the facts before them.
The calm Compote and others deepened their fear of L'Aquila.
At this time, the 29th daughter of the Charlotte family, Joscarpone, saw the miserable condition of her respected brother Oven and immediately said angrily: "How dare you give brother Oven away!"
Mascarpone, her 34th twin, and her 34th brother rushed forward with their swords in unison.
Others had no time to stop them.
L'Aquila remained unmoved. With just a wave of her wings, a strong wind was set off, and the two of them were simply knocked to the ground.
The most terrifying thing was that the gust of wind she created was mixed with several powerful wind blades. Other family members had no time to rescue them, and the two young ones couldn't resist.
Seeing that the Charlotte family's losses were about to expand again.
At this moment, a huge sword appeared in front of the two of them in time and easily split the wind blades.
It was a tall, muscular man with a scarred face and a ferocious smile, with his signature purple braid tied behind his back.
With a strange spark, he grinned and said: "Oh, oh, oh, who is this? How dare you cause trouble on our territory like this. You really looking for a miserable death!'"
The powerful aura made L'Aquila frown, but she still didn't respond.
"Brother!"
The Charlotte family cheered loudly, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
Even Compote was relieved to see him appear.
The 15th son of the Charlotte family, Minister of Biscuits, and one of the three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, "Thousand Arms" Cracker, with a bounty of 860 million Berries.
Completely different from the image on the wanted poster, Cracker himself was younger. He ignored the calls of the family members and looked at L'Aquila with curiosity and malice.
"Are you ready to die?"
