Talent Vs Hardwork!

Spitting out some blood Nicholas stared at Linlin coldly.

"Then let me see how formidable you can be in this state!"

As soon as the words fell, Nicholas, who had just landed, suddenly disappeared from his original position like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the charging Charlotte Linlin.

Facing Nicholas's move, Charlotte Linlin was not surprised but rather pleased.

For her, at this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: to kill the Nicholas in front of her, and nothing else could occupy her thoughts.

"Die!"

Charlotte Linlin stepped on Zeus, tightly gripping Napoleon wrapped in blazing flames, while Haoshoku Haki quickly enveloped it, then lifted Napoleon high and made a motion similar to the starting stance of a sovereign.

"Ikoku sovereignty!"

The voice, full of cold killing intent, rang out instantly.

With the momentum stirring up, thunder suddenly roared in the rolling clouds.

When the echoes of the thunder faded away.

Charlotte Linlin's attack collided with Nicholas's.

Contrary to the expected earth-shattering collision, Nicholas's long blade directly cleaved Charlotte Linlin's cylindrical sword energy in half!

The luminous white sword energy was split in two, and the dispersed energy turned into visible dangerous energy blades, as if tearing the earth apart, pouring madly in all directions.

The turbulent black clouds above seemed to be affected too, splitting neatly along the trajectory of Nicholas's slash.

Boom!

Nicholas, who split Charlotte Linlin's attack in half, charged directly towards her without losing momentum, his long blade once again clashed with the giant blade Napoleon.

Charlotte Linlin, stood on Zeus, with surging waves around her, her pink hair dancing wildly in the air like snakes.

"You little brat...!"

As their weapons clashed, Charlotte Linlin's eyes glared fiercely at Nicholas.

"Zeus: Heavenly Thunder! Prometheus: Heavenly Fire!"

With a terrifying and ferocious expression, Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth as she spoke to Zeus under her feet and Prometheus beside her.

"Yes, Mama!"

"Understood, Mama!"

Zeus, shrouded in pitch-black darkness, suddenly took a deep breath, then exerted all its strength, beginning to release lightning in all directions.

Almost instantly, the dazzling purple lightning completely engulfed Nicholas and Charlotte Linlin.

And almost simultaneously as the purple lightning covered the two, the ground beneath their feet began to crack, then violent flames erupted directly from below, and a towering pillar of fire suddenly appeared in the center of Whole Cake Island.

Compared to the Flame Emperor Ace's Mera Mera no Mi.

The flames displayed by Prometheus at this moment, both in scale and temperature, were unparalleled.

"Linlin, you should know that your Homie, Prometheus, is hardly a threat to us monsters like myself, right?"

Bathed in flames and lightning, Nicholas pressed his long blade towards Charlotte Linlin.

Seeing that neither flames nor lightning could effectively harm Nicholas, Charlotte Linlin's already terrifying face became even more terrifying, and her eyes grew colder.

As they fought, she also realized that her Homie, Prometheus, which had always been invincible against minions, was of little use in her battle with Nicholas.

So she decided that next, she would use Napoleon in her hand to let Nicholas truly understand what it means to be overpowered.

After another separation, the two stood at opposite ends, glaring at each other with murderous intent.

Charlotte Linlin stared at Nicholas with rage, and the flames on Napoleon surged up, while Haoshoku Haki once again enveloped it.

Nicholas didn't back down either, under the fire of Prometheus's inferno, the long blade in his hand made a sharp clang, turning into a black blade.

The gazes of the two intertwined in mid-air, sparking like electricity in the void.

After a brief moment, Nicholas suddenly moved, rushing towards Charlotte Linlin after bending down, then leaping up with his sword raised high to strike down at Charlotte Linlin.

"You dare to challenge me in strength? Dream on!!!"

Charlotte Linlin's eyes widened with anger as she tightly gripped Napoleon and swung it down at Nicholas's descending long blade.

"Emperor Sword!"

Calling Charlotte Linlin proficient in swordsmanship would be a stretch, because her strikes were more like wielding Napoleon with her own strength, relying more on her own power to crush her opponent.

Boom!

With the deafening clash of their weapons, the tremendous roar even drowned out the continuous rolling thunder in the sky.

Clang! Clang! Boom!

The piercing sound of weapon collisions continued to ring out.

The blades tightly pressed against each other, sparks flying.

Arcs of black-red lightning raced through the air.

The long blades in their hands continued to slash at each other, the fierce clashes making everyone around tremble with fear...

"Katakuri, should we go help Mama?"

Seeing Nicholas and Charlotte Linlin constantly clashing in the field, Moscato couldn't help but speak up.

Obviously, he didn't want to see Charlotte Linlin fighting alone.

But with his strength, he couldn't intervene in the battle of monsters like them.

"Don't be hasty. Both Mama and Nicholas are monsters in their own right. If we intervene rashly, we might end up being killed. So we need to wait until Mama and Nicholas have exhausted each other's stamina before we act! By then, our strength will be enough to influence the course of the battle."

Katakuri looked at the two clashing in the field again, his voice low.

Boom!

In the deafening sound of the violent collision, the two figures, disproportionate in size, collided on the changed terrain of Whole Cake Island.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, countless thunder and flames intertwined and flickered, under the immense force of impact, Nicholas's figure staggered backward involuntarily.

"Come on!"

He stomped heavily on his heel, instantly stabilizing his body, then looked up at the monstrous Big Mom with a challenging gaze:

"I want to see how far your talent can carry you!"

Buzz!

With a swing of his long blade, wrapped in sharp sword energy it clashed heavily with Napoleon.

After a few seconds of stalemate, his body staggered back again, taking several steps back, and leaving a huge spider web-like crack on the ground beneath his feet.

While Big Mom stood still, her heavy panting and the sweat dripping from her forehead indicated that she was not as relaxed as she appeared.
