Chapter 12

Linlin's mind instantly raced, she did not think that it was his fruit ability that allowed him to penetrate through her skin so the likely suspect was haki? Was there something that she wasn't aware of? 

You're a tough one," he acknowledged, his voice carrying a hint of respect. "But you should just lie down."

The Admiral lunged forward, his fists a blur of explosive power. Linlin, anticipating his attack, raised her sword, its blade shimmering with thunder and fire. Their weapons clashed in a dazzling display of martial prowess, the ground beneath them started quaking. 

Linlin, despite her injuries, fought with a ferocity that matched the Admiral's own. Her sword danced and parried, deflecting his attacks with practiced precision. Her own haki, strengthened by her newfound resolve, started becoming harder and tougher against his relentless assault.

The Admiral, though impressed by Linlin's newfound strength, was not one to be outdone. He unleashed a barrage of punches, each infused with the explosive power of his Bomb Bomb Fruit. The air crackled with the threat of detonation, and the ship groaned under the strain of their clash.

Linlin, facing the onslaught of explosions, moved with a newfound agility. She dodged, weaved, and parried, her sword a whirlwind of steel deflecting the Admiral's attacks. Her haki, honed by the intensity of the battle, held firm against the explosive force of his blows.

The clash continued, a mesmerizing dance of power and skill. The entire area where they fought was scarred by craters and littered with debris. The air was thick with the smell of ozone and the lingering echo of explosions.

For five days and nights, the two fought tooth and nail and even the Admiral had to admit that this woman was an absolute monster!

As the end of the fight grew closest despite her valiant efforts, Linlin could feel her strength waning. The Admiral's relentless assault, fueled by his mastery of haki and his Devil Fruit ability, was taking its toll. Her body ached, her breath grew ragged, and her haki began to falter.

Sensing her weakening, the Admiral unleashed a final, devastating blow. His fist, a ball of concentrated explosive energy, streaked towards Linlin, its destructive potential threatening to overwhelm her defenses.

Linlin, her body battered and her spirit tested to its limits, summoned every ounce of strength she possessed. Her sword, imbued with her remaining haki and her two homies also gathered as much of flame and lightning on it and met the Admiral's fist in a final clash.

The impact sent shockwaves through the air, the surrounding debris shattering into fragments. Linlin, her body trembling from the exertion, was knocked backward, her sword clattering to the ground.

"NELSON!"

"LINLIN!" 

BOOM! They led their final blows which caused a loud explosion over the both of them.
