"Long time no see, Kaido,Linlin. To save everyone's time, why don't both of you come at me together."
When Kaido saw Nicholas in the sky, the anger on his face quickly faded, replaced by an icy killing intent, and he fully released his Armament and Conqueror's Haki along his arms, transmitting it to his Kanabo. The already fierce Kanabo became even more intimidating under the cover of Armament Haki.
Then Kaido swung his Kanabo, as if swinging a baseball bat, heavily towards Nicholas.
With Kaido's swing, a cylindrical shockwave flew towards Nicholas like a comet.
Nicholas immediately noticed Kaido's action, but he had no intention of dodging. After Kaido launched his attack, he wanted to see how strong he was now.
"Boom!"
Seeing Nicholas actually block his attack with one hand, Kaido's Kanabo smashed into the ground with anger.
The terrifying force instantly smashed the ground into a large pit.
Charlotte Linlin, standing on Zeus's thundercloud, landed beside Kaido, her eyes full of murderous intent sweeping towards Nicholas in the air.
"You said you're going to take us on by yourself?!"
Nicholas's sudden appearance was unexpected.
After all, according to their original plan with Kaido, they were supposed to first deal with Oden, Kuri, and then use the overwhelming strength of the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates to crush the rebels. But Nicholas came so quickly.
And from Nicholas's single-handed block against Kaido's attack, it seemed that guy had gotten stronger again.
But for Charlotte Linlin, this was not something she couldn't deal with. The main reason she hated Nicholas and wanted to kill him was because of what he had just said.
Anyone who can become a strong figure on the sea is proud in their own right. What the hell does "taking on two at once" mean? Are they being treated as what, little punks on the sea?
Kaido wielded his Kanabo, moving his arms, and looked coldly at Nicholas.
"What? both you didn't hear properly?"
Facing the icy gaze of the two big shots on the sea, Nicholas remained calm, his long sword appearing in his hand, held horizontally in front of him as he spoke to the two again.
"I said, I'll take on both of you by myself. A reckless guy plus a bitch who's good at making babies, I'm pretty confident in taking you two on... Of course, those who want to die with you can join in too."
"!!!"
Hearing this, Big Mom widened her eyes, bloodshot. In her eyes, becoming the ruler of the sea by giving birth to powerful offspring was the wisest choice she had made. But in Nicholas's eyes, it seemed to be of little value, almost overturning the principles she had adhered to, making her unusually angry.
"I'd like to see where your confidence comes from, to say such arrogant words!!!"
"Confidence?"
Nicholas tilted his head and smiled.
Nicholas's confidence came from the power of his Devil Fruit ability, as well as his mastery of both Armament and Observation Haki, as well as his proficiency in martial arts and swordsmanship.
It could not be exaggerated to say that perhaps besides Yonko Whitebeard, other strong individuals on the seas were no match for him. Even if he was besieged, he could leave without anyone being able to stop him.
This was the confidence of a hexagonal warrior.
And hearing Nicholas's words, the members of the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates who came with Charlotte Linlin felt that Nicholas was really arrogant.
At the same time, challenging the two Emperors of the Sea, where did he get the confidence?
"Hehehe, is this where your confidence lies, Nicholas?"
Charlotte Linlin suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Nicholas. As a natural monster, she was very clear about how terrifying her own power was. The strength that grew along with her age, without much diligent training, was already overwhelming.
And it was obvious that Nicholas's current strength was comparable to hers, if not even stronger.
"Mama, mama..."
Seeing Nicholas's appearance, Charlotte Linlin laughed in anger.
But as a member of the Charlotte family, she knew very well that her mother's anger had reached its peak.
"Napoleon! Prometheus!"
Charlotte Linlin shouted her soul homies' names.
Although she didn't give any orders, Napoleon, the double-horned hat housing her soul, and Prometheus, the miniature sun, both instantly understood Charlotte Linlin's intention.
"Here, Mama!"
"Alright, Mama!"
The sword blade formed by Napoleon, wrapped in flames, suddenly expanded, while Prometheus turned into a blazing inferno, attaching to Napoleon's sword blade.
Charlotte Linlin's Napoleon longsword turned into a giant flame blade in an instant, and her hair also ignited in flames.
With Zeus constantly releasing electricity under her feet, and the imposing aura emanating from Charlotte Linlin, her entire presence exuded tremendous pressure.
The whole image looked as if it emitted astonishing oppression.
Even some ordinary people in Wano were already scared and lying on the ground.
"Ikoku sovereignty!"
Without further ado, Charlotte Linlin, in her rage, unleashed her full power. She knew that facing someone like Nicholas, any probing attacks would be useless. Only by using their true strength could they speak for themselves.
Brandishing her flaming sword Napoleon, Charlotte Linlin raised it with both hands behind her, then exerted force with both arms to slash it down towards Nicholas from afar.
As the flaming sword descended, a shockwave coiling with a fiery serpent was born, carrying a powerful momentum and rushing towards Nicholas.
The shockwave, as it passed, even gave the illusion that space was being distorted.
At the same time, the terrifying power of the Emperors of the Sea was fully displayed.
"Ikoku sovereignty!"
Facing Charlotte Linlin's devastating Ikoku sovereignty, Nicholas stood firm without retreating, raising his long sword in his hand and also slashing out a formidable shockwave wreathed in purple lightning arcs.
The two cylindrical shockwaves collided in midair.
At the moment of collision, a dazzling light burst forth from it, like a second sun appearing in the sky.
Following that, there was the release of terrifying energy and the appearance of ripple-like layers of air waves in the sky, crazily surging in all directions.
Even the surging air waves seemed to distort the space as they passed, giving people the illusion that dozens of hurricanes were blowing on the ground, breaking apart the houses and even lifting some people up in the air.
Charlotte Linlin, standing on Zeus's thundercloud, smirked as she faced the surging air waves. To ordinary people, even standing was very difficult, but in front of her, the surging air waves were like a gentle breeze.
Charlotte Linlin's cold gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, aiming to kill Nicholas.
Nicholas, on the other hand, stood firm against the surging air waves, calmly watching the residual shockwave energy dissipate.
Confronting the waves head-on, evenly matched.
This was also a demonstration of Nicholas's current strength.
