CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 162: THREE GREAT ULTIMATE MOVES, THE FIRST BATTLE ENDS

Boom————!

A deafening sonic boom exploded in the sky above the large, uninhabited island.

Immediately after, the air below Karl faintly distorted.

Then, a shockwave as vast as the sea, transformed from an astonishing amount of physical energy, was unleashed with Karl’s punch, turning into an invisible tsunami that submerged the area below.

That’s right, an invisible tsunami!

Karl’s King’s Fist did not produce a transparent white shockwave like the Six King Gun.

It only caused the air to distort.

But the area of this distortion was a little bit large.

From the perspective of Doflamingo and the Visual Den Den Mushi, Karl’s fist was like Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Unlike Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which shattered the atmosphere, Karl’s fist distorted the atmosphere.

Then, a super shockwave of astonishing area submerged the area below like a tsunami.

The tsunami-like super shockwave instantly submerged the eight-meter-eight Charlotte Linlin, who was as small as an ant, and without any pause, landed on the large, uninhabited island below.

Immediately after...

A scene that once again shattered the world’s worldview, and was even more terrifying than the sky-cracking, a scene that made even the overlords of the seas’ faces change in shock, was presented on the screen.

The invisible, yet faintly visible, air-distorting super shockwave, after landing on the large, uninhabited island.

Boom——————!!!

A huge explosion that resounded throughout the world made the ears of countless people of the world, who were listening through the Den Den Mushi’s megaphones, ache.

But that little bit of pain could not make them cover their ears with their hands and show expressions of pain.

Because at this moment, the people of the world were all staring blankly at the live broadcast, their mouths wide open, their chins looking as if they had hit the ground.

After the explosion, which sounded like a bomb rock.

The large, uninhabited island, which could accommodate a large kingdom and a population of tens of millions...

Half of its area, like a collapsing tall building, instantly broke off from the large, uninhabited island and was shattered into countless pieces.

Finally, the innumerable island fragments were once again submerged by the super shockwave and all turned to dust.

However...

The super shockwave, which had shattered half of the island in an instant, still landed on the great sea below with undiminished power.

The great sea hundreds of meters below was directly blasted into a giant, bottomless hole of astonishing area.

The hole was like a black hole, exceptionally terrifying.

Charlotte Linlin, who had taken the super shockwave head-on, spat out blood. As strong as she was, she lost consciousness after a few dozen seconds.

Her eight-meter-eight huge body was sent into the sea by the super shockwave that had shattered half of the island.

"Ha... ha..."

Karl, who had thrown that punch, immediately deactivated his superhuman mode, panting for breath for a rare moment.

But looking at the half of the large, uninhabited island that had been destroyed by a single punch, and the bottomless giant hole in the great sea, Karl revealed a satisfied smile.

This one punch was probably comparable to a full-power, maximum-output Light Spear, right?!

After witnessing Garp’s superhuman form, and discovering that As Big or Small as I Please could break the limits of the human body, Karl had become obsessed with breaking the limits of the human body.

He was not satisfied with the superhuman form of the As Big or Small as I Please form; he wanted to be able to break the limits of the human body even in his normal state.

And so, he had the superhuman mode, which he obtained by sacrificing his strongest elementalization.

Karl, who had discovered that Life Return and the electric current method could stimulate his cells to break the limits of the human body, had suddenly remembered the gift Doflamingo had given him several years ago during his months of closed-door training.

The King’s Fist, which was rumored to be able to kill even a Four Emperor on the spot if it hit.

A few years ago, because this move required a long charging time, especially since the greater the amount of physical energy mobilized, the longer the charging time, this move, which was known as a "natural-born destructive weapon," the King’s Fist, had been thrown into Karl’s skill library to collect dust.

After developing the superhuman mode, Karl discovered that he had, inadvertently, it seemed, solved this limitation problem.

The electric current method stimulating his cells not only reduced the warm-up time but also activated more dormant physical energy.

When the vast, sea-like physical energy was all mobilized by Life Return, Karl, in his superhuman mode, not only used the King’s Fist but also raised the power of this move from destroying a fortress to an island-destroying martial arts ultimate move.

From now on, Karl’s arsenal of ultimate moves had also gone from two to three.

They were:

The weapon-type Spear of Mystery’s Light Spear, and the ability-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s Raigo.

And... the martial-arts-type King’s Fist.

All three ultimate moves were island-destroying great moves.

Each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Raigo had the fastest charging time and the lowest consumption, but it required a large area of thunderclouds to be able to use the fruit ability to condense it.

The Spear of Mystery was second; as long as he used Life Return, he could not complete a maximum-output Light Spear in ten minutes.

The King’s Fist had the longest charging time; he needed to activate the superhuman mode, and it would take at least half an hour to launch the super shockwave.

The power of the three ultimate moves, if a Four Emperor were to take it head-on, even super monsters like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin would be very uncomfortable.

If Shanks and Whitebeard were unable to block it, then with their physiques, they would surely be killed on the spot.

As Charlotte Linlin fell into the sea, the giant hole began to slowly shrink.

The first battle of the "Battle for the Era" could be declared over.

The victor was—Dragon Knight Karl.

"Gentlemen and ladies, a moment to witness a miracle."

On the golden stage, a certain distance from the large, uninhabited island, Morgans looked at the giant hole on the surface of the sea. After it had completely shrunk, he immediately took the microphone and shouted, "More than twenty minutes have passed, but BIG-MOM still hasn’t come out of the sea, and her life and death are unknown."

"The outcome is decided. In the first round of the Battle for the Era, my Dragon Knight has won a complete victory over one of the overlords of the seas, BIG-MOM Charlotte Linlin, with an absolute advantage."

"Fans all over the world who are cheering for the Dragon Knight can cheer to your heart’s content."

"Finally, let my dear Lord Dragon Knight personally bring down the curtain on this live broadcast."

After the golden stage flew into the air, Morgans immediately and impatiently handed the microphone to Karl and said, "Karl, say a few words."

"Senior Linlin is probably not dead. Those with her Vivre Card can go and save her."

The corners of Karl’s mouth lifted slightly, and he said with an incomparably handsome smile.

This one sentence, however, set off a storm in all parts of the world, especially in the sea area of the New World.

As if they had been reminded, the gazes of countless hungry wolves turned towards the Totto Land Kingdom.

Ah, she’s probably not dead...

But that’s just a "probably"
