CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 156: CHARLOTTE LINLIN DOUBTS HER EXISTENCE, DECADES WASTED

"No way, Mama... was knocked back?!"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? Did the Dragon Knight, with his not-even-two-meter body, knock back the mountain-like BIG-MOM?!"

"As expected of Lord Dragon Knight, he’s too strong!"

"..."

The scene of Charlotte Linlin being knocked back by Karl’s punch.

It instantly caused a huge sensation in the Whole Cake Island castle and all over the world.

Some pirates who knew just how powerful Charlotte Linlin’s physique was, all suspected if there was something wrong with their eyes, finding it simply incredible.

As they were both natural-born monsters, shouldn’t Charlotte Linlin, the natural-born monster of the old era who was born first, have the absolute advantage in a contest of strength?

Why was the one who was pushed back not the one who was several decades younger than Charlotte Linlin, Karl, who had become one of the highest peaks of the New World a year ago?

As for the ordinary people who didn’t know about the physique of a "Natural-Born Destroyer," they were marveling at Karl’s strength, truly worthy of being the youngest overlord of the seas.

"I... was actually knocked back?!"

Never mind those pirates who had some understanding of natural-born monsters, even Charlotte Linlin herself looked at Karl with a face full of astonishment.

When their two fists had collided just now, Charlotte Linlin was certain that neither she nor Karl had used Haki or their fruit abilities.

Because she also wanted to see to what extent the physique of this fellow of her kind, who was destined to be at the pinnacle, had reached.

But the result...

Charlotte Linlin had never expected that she would be knocked back by a single punch from Karl.

Didn’t this mean that the other party’s physique surpassed hers?!

At this point, the astonishment on Charlotte Linlin’s face was instantly replaced by anger, and she once again threw a punch as heavy as a mountain at Karl.

As if to prove to the whole world that she had just been careless, not that her physique was inferior to Karl’s.

As a fellow natural-born monster, Charlotte Linlin was born before Rocks dominated the Grand Line.

Now, in the third era of her domination of the New World, she was several decades older than Karl.

Having lived several decades longer than Karl, would she allow her physique to be surpassed by a brat who had just come of age?

If so, didn’t that mean she had lived in vain for several decades?

Therefore, Charlotte Linlin could not accept this fact!

Boom————!

Facing Charlotte Linlin’s next punch, Karl met it head-on.

But this time, Karl used the technique of Life Return to increase the normal-state strength of his Monster Physique by 100%.

Under the loud bang, Charlotte Linlin, who had wanted to redeem herself, had her eyes widen to their fullest.

Immediately after, her huge, mountain-like body was sent flying backwards.

Her feet carved a huge trench on the ground, and Charlotte Linlin flew back over a hundred meters.

Between the two, who were now a hundred meters apart, a huge gully, as if a wheel had rolled over mud, appeared.

"..."

Seeing this, countless people in front of their screens had their mouths wide open, their chins looking as if they were about to hit the ground in shock.

Compared to being knocked back just now, the scene of Charlotte Linlin being sent flying by a single punch was clearly more visually impactful.

At the same time, everyone also realized.

Charlotte Linlin’s natural-born monster physique was really not as good as Dragon Knight Karl’s.

At least... in their normal states, it was definitely not as good!

"You bastard, I’m going to kill you!"

Under the watchful eyes of the whole world, Charlotte Linlin, who had been knocked back the first time and sent flying the second.

Her already unstable mood instantly caused her to lose her reason.

A terrifying red light emanated from her eyes, and a strange sound that would make an ordinary person bleed from all seven orifices, along with Charlotte Linlin’s roar, formed a shockwave that shot out from her mouth, heading towards Karl.

"...I’ll be waiting!"

Looking at Charlotte Linlin, who was emitting a shockwave from her mouth, Karl’s second trait, Absolute Comprehension, instantly learned her strange sound move.

Then, Karl also took a deep breath on the spot and shouted at Charlotte Linlin.

A shockwave of strange sound, no less powerful than Charlotte Linlin’s, roared out from Karl’s mouth.

The two, like light waves, collided.

Boom————!

The next moment, the two shockwaves once again produced a deafeningly huge explosion.

Rows of airwaves once again destroyed the already cracked ground, raising a thick cloud of dust.

The strange sound of the two, even from a considerable distance, was still transmitted all over the world by the Visual Den Den Mushi in the steel bird.

That ear-piercing sound, just through the megaphone of the Visual Den Den Mushi, made countless people cover their ears in discomfort.

Those who could barely withstand the strange sound looked at the live broadcast, where just a roar had such power, with an expression as if their worldview had been shattered.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The dust cloud, which should have lasted for several minutes, was quickly blown away by an invisible airwave.

In the dust cloud, a tall and a short figure were once again engaged in battle.

Charlotte Linlin, who had been bested by Karl twice and had not mastered Life Return, which could increase her strength by 100% of her normal state, could only use Armament Haki in an attempt to suppress Karl.

But obviously, that was impossible.

As a natural-born monster of the Rocks Era, and having obtained the Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit from Carmel at a few years old, Charlotte Linlin had received her first bounty of 50 million Berries at the age of 6, in an era where Berries were very valuable.

Then, in just a few short years, her bounty had soared to 500 million Berries.

Except for encountering an overlord of the seas like Rocks, Charlotte Linlin, like Karl, had almost never encountered any setbacks in her life.

Because of the surge in her body size and her powerful Paramecia ability, Charlotte Linlin had only focused on the development of her fruit and Haki.

As for martial arts and swordsmanship, relying on her innate physical talent, Charlotte Linlin stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Therefore...

Charlotte Linlin had not trained in martial arts, or perhaps she had trained in the past, but could no longer use it now.

Facing Karl, who had the body of a normal person but possessed the attributes of a natural-born monster.

Charlotte Linlin, who could not bring out 100% of the power of her body, was destined to be unable to match Karl in martial arts, who had mastered Life Return and completed his third evolution, and whose physique was unquestionably number one in the world.

The same was true for using Armament Haki.

Because Karl’s Armament Haki was not weaker than hers.

Unless Charlotte Linlin could break the limits of the human body like Garp, only then could she suppress Karl in return.

However...

Not everyone was a superman like Garp who could break the limits of the human body.
