Chapter 152: Anticipating Your Anticipation!
Whole Cake Island Port
Whether it was the Sweet Commanders led by Katakuri or the other combat members of the Charlotte Family, at this moment, they all wore expressions of shock and awe.
Even from hundreds of meters away, the overwhelming pressure brought by the young Fleet Admiral left many feeling suffocated.
His unparalleled aura instilled fear in the hearts of many, as if the young Fleet Admiral wasn't just facing Charlotte Linlin but was instead looking down upon them from a commanding height.
Especially among the members of the Big Mom Pirates' affiliated forces, when they saw Kaido pinned to the castle with a sword and heard the young Fleet Admiral utterly domineering command to "Step forward," many were struck with terror and an inexplicable urge to prostrate themselves and worship him arose.
"That's the Marine Fleet Admiral, Orion!"
"He even look more intimidating than he appeared in the live broadcast!"
"He took down Kaido the moment he arrived. Just how terrifying is his strength?"
"His aura is absolutely terrifying!"
"The pressure is so intense, I can't even muster the will to resist. Truly a man who dares to challenge the World Government!"
Among the Charlotte Family members, many couldn't help but exclaim in shock at the overwhelming pressure that hit them.
Soon, several figures emerged from the crowd.
They were the Charlotte sisters: Mondee, Hachee, Effilee, and Amande.
As soon as the four sisters stepped out, two little ones squeezed through the crowd and rushed ahead of them.
They were the ten-year-old Charlotte Pudding and the nine-year-old Charlotte Flampe!
"Katakuri-oniisama" Flampe, wearing a polka-dot dress and a ponytail, looked at Katakuri, who was on high alert.
Unaware of the brutality of war, she excitedly asked.
"Are we going to have a big fight?"
"Prepare for battle!"
Before Katakuri could react, several figures emerged from the Charlotte family.
Leading them were Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte family and Charlotte Oven, the fourth son.
Behind them were other family members, some carrying large swords, others shoulderings Gatling guns and a few who, though unarmed, radiated intense fighting spirit.
At the same time.
Glancing at Kaido, who was pinned motionless by a black sword above the castle, Charlotte Linlin, standing on the prison ship felt a heavy weight in her heart.
She quickly averted her gaze, focusing intently on the young figure standing on the ice.
Her grip on the hilt of her sword, Napoleon, tightened as she faced the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki emanating from him, forcing her to release her own Conqueror's Haki in response.
"Fleet Admiral of the Marines!"
"You brought this upon yourself!"
"If you hadn't been so eager to eliminate us and provoke a war with Kaido, my tea party invitation would already be on your desk!"
"But it seems you never took the name Big Mom seriously!"
As she spoke, Charlotte Linlin continued to unleash her Conqueror's Haki.
The thunderclouds swirling above her head erupted with dazzling light and the dense lightning in the sky crackled with a chilling sound, harmonizing with the black and red Conqueror's Haki.
Orion took a step forward, and an even more immense wave of Conqueror's Haki surged forth, forcefully suppressing Charlotte Linlin's Haki.
"Hand over the Red Poneglyph. Those of the Charlotte family who are guilty will receive lighter sentences and the innocent will be spared!"
"Otherwise, not only will you be killed, but the entire Totto Land will be wiped out!"
BOOM—
As soon as Orion finished speaking, the clashing Conqueror's Haki exploded violently, sending out a devastating shockwave in all directions.
Even someone as powerful as Charlotte Linlin was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the port of Whole Cake Island.
"Damn it!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Mom was blown back!"
The Charlotte family members at the port were stunned that Orion had sent their mother flying with just his Conqueror's Haki, their faces filled with shock.
At the same time, Katakuri, standing at the forefront of the Charlotte family, narrowed his eyes sharply.
In the next second, a vision of the future flashed before his eyes.
In the vision, he saw Charlotte Linlin being sent flying by Orion's Conqueror's Haki and Orion decisively drawing his sword, slashing toward the port with a domineering stance.
"Not good!"
Katakuri, having glimpsed part of the future, exclaimed in horror.
He dashed forward, preparing to block the incoming slash from Orion.
Almost simultaneously, before Charlotte Linlin could crash into the port, Orion standing hundreds of meters away, wasted no time.
He gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist and his Conqueror's Haki erupted once more.
"Hum—"
As the blade left its sheath, the Conqueror's Haki burst forth, soaring into the sky and instantly igniting the surrounding space.
The air vibrated with a low-frequency hum.
Swish—
The long sword, entwined with the ultimate Conqueror's Haki, was drawn with a resounding clang and then it slashed through the air, releasing a dazzling blade of black and red light.
In the next second, the radiant blade seemed to tear through the void, appearing out of thin air in front of Charlotte Linlin, who was about to crash into the port.
Katakuri, who had used his Observation Haki to catch a glimpse of the future and had immediately dashed out, had no time to act before he saw a spray of blood erupt from Charlotte Linlin body.
The overwhelming slash carried Charlotte Linlin with it, accelerating her descent toward the port.
With a deafening explosion, Charlotte Linlin massive body crashed into the sea, the terrifying shockwave detonating the surface and sending towering waves into the sky.
"!!!!!!"
"How... how is this possible?"
Even though he had foreseen the future, Katakuri was still unable to prevent it.
He stood frozen in place, his pupils contracting sharply as he uttered in disbelief.
"He....He predicted my prediction!"
At the same time, Perospero, who had stepped out from the ranks of the Charlotte family, let out an incredulous exclamation.
"Divine Departure!"
"Damn it!"
"How does he know Roger Divine Departure??"
As the eldest son of the Charlotte family, Perospero was naturally the most experienced member of the Big Mom Pirates.
The moment he saw Orion draw his sword, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
But Orion movements were too fast and he had no time to warn Katakuri, who had already dashed out.
It wasn't until Charlotte Linlin was struck that he caught up with the rapidly unfolding situation.
But by then, it was already too late!
The young Fleet Admiral, who had just slashed Charlotte Linlin out of the air with a single strike, sheathed his sword with a decisive motion and strode toward the port.
As the young Fleet Admiral stepped forward, Sakazuki quickly followed.
"Gentlemen!"
"Follow me onto the island!"
With one hand resting on his sword, Orion walked as casually as if he were strolling through his own garden, his gaze fixed on the port ahead.
His calm tone carried an air of supreme authority.
"YESSS!"
With a unified and resounding response, Kuzan and Gion, the two admirals, quickly took their positions behind Orion.
Strawberry, Bastille, and Stainlesss, along with a group of vice admirals, swiftly followed, ignoring the tens of thousands of Big Mom Pirates members who were on high alert at the port.
The cold wind whipped their capes as they marched forward with unwavering determination, following the three admirals.
