"No!" El just wanted to stop her when he realized Milim was no longer in her seat.
"Now, not a single person will be left alive," El slapped his forehead. He knew best what the consequences would be if Milim was disturbed while eating.
Linlin patted El's back, her expression still relaxed: "Six-legged frogs are hard to find in this era, but two-legged pirates are everywhere."
"Come on, let's go outside and see." Linlin walked out of the ship.
"Sigh!" El sighed and followed closely… A total of 15 pirate ships surrounded the demon king ship, completely encircling it.
On the largest pirate ship, a pirate wearing a Captain's hat greedily stared at the massive demon king ship before him.
He had never seen the flag on it before, and he was so close, yet the people on board hadn't noticed him. They must be rookies who had just set sail.
As a senior, it was only natural to teach these newcomers a good lesson. The sea was very dangerous, and not everyone could make a name for themselves out there!
The pirate Captain directed his subordinates to reload the cannons, preparing for the next volley.
But a subordinate next to him stared blankly up at the sky.
"Are you deaf? I told you to reload the cannons!" The pirate Captain kicked his subordinate to the ground.
The subordinate then came to his senses and hastily pointed to the sky: "Captain, someone is flying in the sky."
"Hmm?" The pirate Captain slowly looked up. Under the sunlight, a dark figure stood in the sky. From there, he could only see two bright red pigtails fluttering in the air.
As the pirate Captain watched, the dark figure slowly raised a hand, and a visible red energy wave gathered in her hand.
"It's a Devil Fruit user!" The pirate Captain's eyes widened as he shouted in disbelief: "Point the cannons at that guy in the sky and blast her down!"
Milim stood in the air, her twin pigtails swaying in the wind, her cape rustling loudly, and her usually somewhat blank eyes now sharp.
"Annoying fellows! How dare they disturb me while I'm eating." Magic gathered in her hand, forming a crimson orb of light.
She then flung it fiercely towards the pirate ships.

(Milim's ultimate move for suppressing power, showing mercy, and wide-range attacks. It can destroy a Demon Lord-level Great Storm Serpent in one blow.)
The crimson orb of light flew into the air and instantly transformed into countless scorching beams of light, precisely hitting all the pirate ships surrounding the demon king ship.
Continuous explosions echoed across the sea, and orbs of fire expanded above the ocean, then slowly contracted and vanished.
Along with them, the 15 pirate ships also disappeared. Now, only dust floating in the sky remained.
El looked at the terrifying scene before him and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart: "No matter how many times I see it, Big Sister's power seems inhuman. Even a giant probably wouldn't last a single move against Big Sister."
"Mama mama!" Linlin chuckled, her eyes fixed on Milim: "El, your horizons aren't wide enough. This isn't Milim's full power! Milim hasn't even used half of her strength."
El's eyes widened sharply. He had thought this might not be Milim's full power, but not even half? Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?
"The world is still vast, and there are many powerful individuals we haven't even met yet, so El, you need to train even harder." Linlin said, then ignored El and turned to walk into the dining hall.
El reached out and caught a burning cinder, muttering to himself: "How vast is the true world, really!"
After this battle, the demon king ship encountered more pirates, but Linlin and El handled them, capturing nearly 20 pirate crews.
It must be said that in this era, pirates were truly abundant across the entire sea; they encountered them almost everywhere they went.
However, this might also be related to Rocks. Milim opened the newspaper in her hand and saw on the front page that Rocks had once again recruited a great pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, through the Pirate Games.
And in the middle, the pirate celebrities, the Kuja Pirates, appeared on Nohr Island, where the residents willingly offered all their treasures.
And at the very bottom, there was a photo of Milim destroying 15 pirate ships with one blow, along with Milim's bounty written in the newspaper.
Tyrant Destroyer Milim!
Bounty: 500 million Berries.
Milim casually tossed the read newspaper aside, saying with some dissatisfaction: "Why only 500 million Berries? It doesn't match my status at all!"
"And I clearly attacked pirates, so why did the Marine issue a bounty for me?"
"Everyone knows the Marine issues bounties whenever they see a powerful individual sailing the seas, and the flag on the ship looks too much like a pirate flag!"
"So Milim, stop complaining. At least your title is pretty cool, unlike me; the Marine gave me the nickname 'Iron Skin.' Next time I meet the Marine, I'm definitely going to beat them up." Charlotte Linlin threw away the newspaper in her hand in dissatisfaction; her own bounty was only 200 million Berries.
And El, standing in the corner, was even worse off; his nickname was Big-Mouthed Fishman, and his bounty was only 50 million Berries.
Although El really wanted to pretend he didn't exist, he ultimately couldn't escape Milim's mockery.
"Hahahahaha! Big-Mouthed Fishman, El, your name is so funny!" Milim's Dragon Eye could see anything she wanted, so she glanced at the wanted poster in El's hand, discovered his nickname, and then burst into merciless laughter.
"Damn it! I have an irreconcilable feud with the Marine." El covered his head and ran out crying.
Milim stared blankly at El's retreating figure. "El is so fragile! Crying like that over just a nickname, he's not manly at all."
"Milim, I just received some information. All of your small cakes fell into the water." Linlin's voice drifted from behind Milim.
"Eh? You're kidding, right?!" Milim's smile gradually vanished upon hearing this, and tears welled up in her eyes. She then hastily ran out after El.
"Nooo, my small cakes!"
"You're both equally fragile, so why are you putting on an act?" Linlin let out a disdainful sneer, easily manipulating the situation.
A few more days quickly passed. More and more pirate ships gathered behind them, and the demon king ship finally reached its destination, Spring Island!
The demon king ship docked by the shore, and Milim eagerly jumped off the ship. What greeted her eyes was an endless vast forest.
Linlin and El followed closely, while the other crew members escorted the pirate crews from behind, entering Spring Island together.
Milim arrived on the island, looked around, then jumped with all her might into the sky. When she should have fallen back down in mid-air, Milim found herself floating.
Although her body was slowly descending, she would fly higher with just a push.
"Wow! I can really fly!" Milim glided through the sky in a swimming motion, looking very joyful.
