Chapter 65: Shattered Atmosphere, Whitebeard Strikes
The blazing inferno poured down like a broken dam, flooding the ground and engulfing Linlin in an instant.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flames scorched the earth, burning everything in their path and filling the air with a suffocating stench of charred flesh, thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
It devoured everything.
"Mama... mama..."
A low laugh echoed from within the orange flames as Linlin waved her black-armored arm, coated in Armament Haki, instantly blowing away the fire that had enveloped her.
Her curvaceous, enchanting figure emerged from the fire.
Even the searing heat failed to harm the infamous "Iron Balloon" Linlin, though her clothes had been burned through, revealing patches of flawless, snow-white skin that shimmered like polished jade.
Her figure was, quite frankly, overwhelming.
Her legs alone long enough to stack two Yao Mings could bring entire nations to their knees.
Absolute dream material!
Silver Axe's jaw practically dropped, his eyes morphing into heart shapes as he drooled shamelessly, "That figure is absolutely perfect!"
"Massive! Massive! Massive!!"
Every curve was on full display.
His lecherous eyes desperately clung to Linlin's figure, as if he wanted to peel away the last of her clothes with his gaze.
Just as Linlin shook off the fire, Ares's massive dragon head roared into view.
Linlin quickly crossed her Haki-covered arms in front of her.
Boom!
Ares's protruding jaws, lined with razor-sharp fangs, slammed into Linlin, their crimson eyes locking mid-air, the feral rage in Ares's gaze overwhelming.
The terrifying impact and overwhelming brute force sent Linlin stumbling backward!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One building after another was reduced to rubble as Linlin and Ares plowed through them, smashing everything in their path.
A terrifying chasm ripped open across the earth as they barreled forward.
Even the Skull Fortress began to lose its foundation, tilting and collapsing, thunderous rumbles echoing across the island.
"Ares's power... is absolutely insane!" Whitebeard Newgate watched the scene, awe lighting up his face as he marveled at the enormous beast.
If judged by the standards from decades later, Linlin in her twenties was already on par with an Emperor's top commander, her "Iron Balloon" body granting her monstrous durability.
Even a Marine Admiral-level powerhouse would struggle to defeat her in a short time.
But Ares's destructive might was simply terrifying.
Already renowned for his monstrous strength, Ares had become even more terrifying after transforming into the Mythical Azure Dragon.
Just then
The crimson light faded from Linlin's eyes as she stared in shock at the monstrous dragon before her. "What... what the hell is this creature?!"
She tumbled backward, smashing through buildings and trees.
Suddenly, she stomped hard, embedding her foot deep into the earth, stopping her retreat.
Ares's dragon tail swept out!
Buildings, trees everything was crushed and obliterated by his devastating force.
Regaining her senses, Linlin yanked Napoleon from her pirate hat in one swift motion!
"Be destroyed!!!"
"Conqueror's Nation!!!"
The enormous blade exploded with a dazzling light so bright it dimmed the entire world.
Unlike a swordsman's refined strike, Linlin's attack was pure brute force, driven by overwhelming destruction.
Her swordplay had no finesse only raw power.
But that didn't make it weak. On the contrary, it perfectly suited Linlin's style.
A massive pink shockwave surged forward, instantly colliding with Ares's sweeping tail.
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens as the ground beneath their feet shattered, massive chunks of earth hurled into the air by the violent shockwaves.
Ares's jaws gaped wide, poised to devour everything, the foul wind from his breath filling Linlin with a dire sense of danger.
Clang!
A massive blade blocked his fangs.
The sheer force of the impact made Linlin's body tremble violently, her blood surging, muscles and tendons rattling from the clash.
"Such monstrous strength!!"
But rather than fear, Linlin's eyes lit up with exhilaration as she licked her lips, "So it was Ares who ate the Azure Dragon fruit..."
"This kind of overwhelming force, I love it!!"
Blood pumped furiously through her arms, fueling her strength as she swung her massive blade again and again, relentlessly clashing with Ares's dragon head.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Each collision violently shook the air itself.
It was like watching a brutal brawl between Beauty and the Beast.
Within moments, they had clashed dozens of times.
But gradually, Linlin's expression twisted into something far less confident.
Suddenly
Her face changed drastically, panic flashing in her eyes, "No, not now!!"
She cried out anxiously, turning toward Newgate, "Newgate, help me hold him off! I'm about to give birth!!"
The movement in her belly made it painfully clear the baby was coming.
"This woman!!!"
Whitebeard couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Of all times, she has to give birth in the middle of a battle!!"
But then his eyes gleamed with excitement, a wide grin spreading across his face, "Finally, I get a chance to fight Ares's Azure Dragon form this is gonna be thrilling!!"
There was no time to hesitate.
Whitebeard charged forward like a rampaging tiger, his colossal frame crashing through the battlefield.
He raised his left arm, channeling all his strength into his fist!
A glowing white sphere of energy formed around his knuckles.
The massive dragon charged, forcing Whitebeard to leap high into the air, fist drawn back, roaring, "Ares, snap out of it!!"
Ares swung his massive head around, jaws gaping, unleashing flaming energy beams.
"Dragon's Breath!!!"
The flames engulfed Whitebeard's towering figure, the raging fire momentarily obscuring his form in a sea of flames.
But the next moment
Whitebeard's blood surged, his muscles bulging, thick veins protruding across his pale skin like coiled blue serpents.
A terrifyingly violent image.
The glowing sphere on his fist pierced through the flames like a raging spear.
With a thunderous roar, he punched Ares directly in the jaw!
Crack!crack!
The atmosphere itself shattered, blue rifts tearing across the sky.
Ares's colossal dragon head was flung backward like a snapped whip, slamming through a three-story building, leveling it entirely.
One punch.
Whitebeard grinned wildly, "Kurararara... Ares, you've finally grown strong enough for me to go all out!!"
"I thought I'd have to wait another year or two."
"Didn't expect you to catch up this quickly it's almost too fast to believe!!"
Seizing the opening
Linlin bolted toward a nearby building, shoulder-checking through the walls with brute force, hiding behind the crumbling rubble.
She quickly squatted down.
And began... to give birth.
