Chapter 373 - Chapter 207.2 : Battle!!

"Are you kidding me!!"

A violent aura could no longer be restrained, roaring out wildly from Aunt Linlin.

"Are you playing with me?!"

She had come full of joy, thinking this time she could finally obtain the power of the Giants. But in the end, this was the result! 

She had barely dared to hope once, and you made her lose so thoroughly!

Damn! 

Aunt Linlin was furious.

"Calm down, Aunt Linlin."

A fierce aura also surged from Ian, colliding with Charlotte Linlin's imposing presence.

"Love is just like that. If it's not right, it's not right."

"Ian!!"

Aunt Linlin stared hard at Ian. "It's you who's behind all this mischief, isn't it?!"

Ian just shrugged.

"That's a little unreasonable, Aunt Linlin."

"Are you saying I conspired with Lola to make her reject Loki's proposal?"

Aunt Linlin immediately clenched her teeth.

She knew her attempt to shift the blame made no sense at all. 

Lola had never left the Whole Cake Island, and Ian had never been there. They were complete strangers.

But Charlotte Linlin was never a woman to reason calmly!

"I don't care!!"

The world's strongest woman roared, "Whether this marriage happens or not—it will happen today!"

She glared fiercely at the still-dazed Loki.

"Prince Loki, please come with me to Whole Cake Island as my guest!"

At this point, even if it meant using force, she was determined to gain the power of the Giants!

This young man before her was the only heir of the Giants—the only son of the Giant King!

If she could control him, then the power of the Giants would be within her grasp!

Dorry and Brogy slammed the table and stood up in fury, shouting,

"Charlotte Linlin, what do you think you're doing?"

"What do I want to do?"

Aunt Linlin reached up to the captain's horned hat on her head. With a casual tug, it transformed into a large blade in her hand.

"Katakuri! Prepare for battle!"

Behind her, the second-in-command of the Charlotte family stepped forward. His right arm melted away, and from it emerged a trident.

"Yes, Mother," he said.

Behind him, the Charlotte family's officers were already ready.

Perospero, Oven, Daifuku, Cracker—just in case, they had brought plenty of officers this time.

Ian smiled slightly.

"Aunt Linlin, if you want to attack my friend, I won't stand by and watch."

"Then you little brat come on too!"

Charlotte Linlin sneered,

"If you can stop me, then just try!"

She had long been annoyed by this punk kid!

He had rejected her marriage proposal even earlier than Loki—and twice!

His ties with the Giants were also very close, easily forming the Giant army she had dreamed of.

And despite being so young, he was already standing on the same level as her!

And now, he was ruining her hopeful matchmaking event!

That bastard brat—today, I'm going to teach him a harsh lesson!

"Is that so?"

Ian nodded slightly, speaking with mild interest.

"But Aunt Linlin, you're still pregnant, right? Is it really a good idea to start a fight with me at a time like this?"

Though it wasn't visible on the surface, Aunt Linlin was indeed pregnant.

There was a child growing inside her.

A very precious child.

"Who do you think I am?"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily.

"Do you really think you can hurt me?"

At the same moment, in a room somewhere inside the Skull Tower, Kuma looked down at the gathering below with a complicated expression.

Next to him, Ginny sat in a wheelchair, holding Bonney in one arm while gripping Kuma's hand with the other.

"It's okay, Kuma, it's okay."

Kuma didn't say a word.

The atmosphere in the hall had become completely tense, as if a battle was about to erupt.

"Are we going to fight?"

Yamato was the first to leap up, landing lightly beside Ian, her delicate face full of excited smiles.

Ian raised a hand and pointed to Katakuri, who stood solemnly beside Aunt Linlin.

"I'll leave you to deal with Katakuri. Is that okay?"

"I'll freeze him into an ice block!"

Yamato punched her fist proudly, already drawing the spiked club strapped on her back.

"I'll turn the others into stone!"

Hancock strode over, unwilling to be outdone.

Ian just smiled.

"Then let's see your performance."

"Of course!"

Hancock's confidence soared.

Then Ian looked up at Aunt Linlin.

"Aunt Linlin, you're really sure you want to start this fight, right?"

"If you brat can hand over Prince Loki to me yourself, then maybe I'll consider letting you off!"

Aunt Linlin slung her greatsword over her shoulder and sneered coldly.

"That can't be helped then."

Behind Ian, his comrades gradually closed in.

Boom!

The ground shook violently.

Four giants stepped up behind Ian.

Dorry, Brogy, Solem, and Himir!

Behind them stood the Beast Giant Army and the Giants of the Giant Warrior Pirates!

The curtain at the venue was ripped open, and a dense crowd of pirates had already surrounded them.

At the forefront were the pirate captains, led by Jinbei.

"This isn't looking good…"

Perospero's expression grew very serious.

The gap in forces was enormous.

And those giants alone were terrifying enough!

"Miss Lola," Ian called out to Lola, who still looked bewildered, standing in the middle between the two sides, "You should get out of here."

Aunt Linlin probably wouldn't care if she lived or died.

Lola finally snapped awake from her daze and instinctively fled to the side.

At that moment, the four giants behind Ian simultaneously raised their weapons.

"How dare you try to attack Prince Loki!"

Dorry sneered.

"We can't just stand by and watch!"

Brogy lifted his giant axe high.

"Let us show you the might of the strongest spear of the giant tribe!"

Solem roared.

"The Spear of Elbaf!"

Himir shouted fiercely.

"Divine Departure!!"

Four times!

A move usually performed as a duo attack was now unleashed by all four giants!

Aunt Linlin's expression changed abruptly.

In the next moment, the air twisted as a brilliant light burst forth from the weapons of the four giants!

A furious spiral wave tore through the air, crashing down like an overwhelming storm toward the Charlotte family.

"Don't even think about it!"

Aunt Linlin roared as she stepped forward, raising her massive blade.

"Elbaf's Spear — Divine Departure!!"

She too unleashed the legendary spear of Elbaf, the nation's sacred technique.

Boom!!

The two forces collided with an earth-shattering impact.

The ground shattered beneath them, and the sky trembled.

But after the clash, the shockwave unleashed by the four giants slowly began to overpower Aunt Linlin's sword wave, pressing steadily forward, crushing toward the Charlotte family.

Ian whistled.

Amazing — the number doubled, but the power was more than doubled.

"Damn it!!"

Aunt Linlin gritted her teeth. "Zeus! Prometheus!"

"We're here, Mom!"

Behind her, thunderclouds and fireballs rose.

Brilliant lightning and scorching flames spewed forth from them, bolstering Aunt Linlin's sword wave, barely managing to hold back the giants' onslaught.

Ian smiled. "Since the introductions are done, let's get this battle started."

"Oooh oh oh!!"
