Chapter 18 In A Desperate Situation? A Mighty Country That Destroys Heaven And Earth

"There's a situation!"

"Pirate ships spotted! Oh my god, there are so many!"

The sudden shouting on the deck startled everyone, including Carlos. He stopped his training and quickly made his way to the deck.

The ship's railings were already crowded with people, all holding telescopes and scanning the horizon.

In the distance, countless battleships flying the BIGMOM Pirates' flag were visible. They formed a massive formation and were advancing towards them. They had no idea when they had been completely surrounded!

"It's the BIGMOM Pirates!"

"This is a trap. No, we're completely surrounded!"

"Fifty-three ships in total! The enemy's strength is ten times ours…"

Carlos's expression darkened as he frowned.

After defeating the fleet led by Smoothie, he had instructed his crew to thoroughly clean up the battlefield to ensure no survivors.

What he didn't anticipate was that the news had leaked!

As he gazed at the enemy fleet's deck, everyone felt a chill run through them, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"And that person is…"

"The leader of the BIGMOM Pirates, the Emperor of the Sea, Charlotte Linlin!"

"It's over. We're doomed…"

Despair quickly spread among the crew.

Many people felt weak and sat down on the deck, holding their heads and shivering.

Carlos frowned at their reaction.

"Look at your pitiful faces and what you're saying! Pull yourselves together!"

Yorick, standing nearby, pointed into the distance and sneered.

"Do you see who that is? The Emperor of the Sea, Charlotte Linlin, with a bounty of over four billion!"

"And the group behind her—Katakuri, Perospero, Owen, Petra…"

"Do you still think we have any hope of escaping? Stop kidding yourself!"

"By the way, if you want to point fingers, you're the reason for all this mess! You killed the BIGMOM Pirates' officers, and now they've come here for revenge!"

Yorick's anger grew, and he ended up shouting.

On the deck, more and more people gathered around.

After hearing these words, they cast resentful glances at Carlos.

If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have robbed so many small towns, toyed with so many beautiful women, or stolen so many treasures, living comfortably somewhere.

They wouldn't be in this desperate situation!

Carlos looked at them, amused.

"It was quite satisfying when I collected those 300 million Baileys in tolls. What? Now you're complaining about everything?"

Several senior officers pushed through the crowd and spoke one after another:

"Garros, if we're being honest, you're the cause of this whole situation. We can return the auction items to you, but you need to get off our ship immediately!"

"That's right. For the sake of old acquaintance, don't drag us down with you. We need to get out of here and leave as soon as possible! It'll be too late if we wait any longer."

They tried to persuade him, hiding their anxiety.

If they hadn't seen his strength firsthand, they would have tied him up and handed him over to the BIGMOM Pirates without hesitation.

At this point, Yorick lost his patience and kept sneering.

"I made you the captain of the Blood Sail Pirates because you were better than Tucker. I hoped you'd make us rich."

"Look at you now. You've offended the BIGMOM Pirates and still refuse to restrain yourself. You even dared to attack Smoothie's fleet."

"We warned you, but you insisted on going against them! Now it's all over! You've led us to our doom!"

Carlos remained silent, but his eyes grew colder.

An evil aura and murderous intent radiated from him.

Yorick was taken aback and took a few steps back, then snorted disdainfully.

"Who are you trying to scare? Yes, you're strong. You could probably kill us in minutes. But so what? I'm not afraid!"

"I don't know why you're so proud. We won't survive anyway, so you can just die with us!"

…

"Well, well, well—"

Auntie floated in mid-air on the thundercloud Zeus, laughing wildly as she watched the chaos below.

"Kid, are you Garros? You've been quite popular lately."

"The Blood Sail Pirates seem pretty pathetic, just a bunch of rabble."

"Over the years, many have tried to challenge the authority of the Sea Emperor, but none have succeeded. They all ended up at the bottom of the sea."

"Little devil, pay for my child with your life!"

"Napoleon!"

As she spoke, her bicorn hat displayed a cruel smile, transforming into a serrated magic blade that flew into her hand.

"Wei Guo!"

A blinding light erupted.

A massive shockwave of sword energy surged towards the Blood Sail Pirates!

Even the space it passed through began to twist irregularly.

"The sea was split open?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"This is the power of the Emperor of the Sea. It's even more terrifying than the rumors…"

Everyone on the Blood Sail Pirate ship froze, staring in shock at the destructive attack.

In that moment, despair filled their hearts, and many began to curse desperately.

"Help! I don't want to die yet!"

"Damn it! It's all your fault!"

"Let's all go to hell together, you bastards!"

…

Facing the world-destroying slash, Carlos ignored the panic-stricken crew behind him.

He calmly watched the devastating strike approaching.

Instead of showing fear, he felt a surge of fighting spirit ignite within him!

"As expected of Charlotte Linlin. Her power is truly awe-inspiring."

Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the dark thunder in his hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and stepped forward.

With a loud shout, dark blue light suddenly burst from the blade, forming a crescent-shaped slash nearly 100 meters long that shot into the sky!

The two giant slashes collided violently in mid-air.

In that moment, the world seemed to stand still.

There was silence—complete silence.

The next moment,

Rumble——

A roar like muffled thunder erupted in everyone's ears.

The aftermath of the clash swept out in all directions.

The once calm sea became violently turbulent.

The strong wind generated massive waves, crashing one after another.

The pirate ships were tossed about uncontrollably!

The sturdy hulls creaked as if they might fall apart at any moment.

The Blood Sail Pirates and BIGMOM Pirates' crews clung to the masts or nearby objects, trying to avoid being thrown into the sea.

If they fell, they would disappear without a trace.

The cold seawater slapped their faces, but everyone was too terrified to care. They just stared in horror at the figure of the man in the middle of the chaos.
