"Mom! Katakuri!"

Perospero rushed over at that moment, "What happened? Why is there a fight!"

He had been checking the Homies in the forest on Whole Cake Island when he felt darkness fall, and then he saw the huge island fall down, and then he saw his mother's 'War Country'.

Along the way, he could see the damage the scattered island fragments had done to Cake Island. When he arrived, he saw the dust and smoke that had been stirred up, as well as the tears in his mother's clothes around her waist.

"Peros, the trouble you've caused, that Lucilfer Kuro, has come knocking on our door," Katakuri said to him.

"Lucil Kuro?!"

Perospero was startled. "Was that island just now released by Lucilfer Kuro?"

He looked at the smoke and dust, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright, no one can beat Mom..."

Pfft!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a small wound suddenly burst open on Charlotte Linlin's ribs, enough to be horrifying.

"What?!"

This time, not only Perospero's eyes widened, but even Katakuri's eyes had a few black lines.

"Mom is... injured?!"

Her sons knew her defensive capabilities better than anyone; that kind of defense, which was so terrifying that it could ignore bullets and cannonballs, was actually cut through by a mere blade.

"Um?"

Charlotte Linlin casually brushed the blood off her ribs and chuckled, "Well, kid! You've got some skills!"

Bang!

A gust of wind rose from the smoke and dust, exploding along with flying debris to reveal Kuro's figure.

At this moment, his entire body was covered in black, with a purplish-black cross mark between his eyebrows and on his forehead. There were purple tear stains under his eyes, and he lowered his head slightly, expressionless.

His clothes and cloak were a little dirty, a result of Charlotte Linlin's punch earlier.

If I hadn't reacted quickly and put on full protective gear, it probably wouldn't have been just my clothes that were a little dirty.

Even so...

"cough!"

Kuro opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're not bad either, old woman!"

The power of that punch still affected him.

"That's... Lucilfer Kuro?"

Perospero broke out in a sweat. This was the first time he had seen this man in person, and he seemed, perhaps... very strong!

His decision seems to have been somewhat flawed.

This kind of person... will be in big trouble if an assassination attempt fails!

"Ma ma ma ma!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed twice, then her face turned ferocious. She gripped her knife with both hands and slashed down fiercely, the blade once again igniting that white, fiery aura.

Bang!!!

Kuro raised his sword to block, and golden lightning crackled along the blade.

Rumble...

The clash of blades caused a tremendous tremor in the ground, nearly causing Perospero to lose his footing.

"Ma ma ma!"

With a single strike, Kuro stood there defending for a while, when Charlotte Linlin burst into laughter, then swung her arms forward, blowing Kuro away.

Kuro flew into the air and shot forward again, swinging his sword straight at the old woman's neck.

Bang!!

Bang!!!

The long sword that Napoleon had transformed into clashed directly with Qiu Shui, and white flames and golden lightning mixed together, bursting out with intense light on the ruins of the palace.

Each impact sent up a large amount of debris and fragments.

laugh!

A piece of stone grazed Perospero's face, causing him a slight pain. He reached up and touched his face with his fingers, which then bled slightly.

The aftershocks alone are this powerful!

The center of that battlefield...

"Hey, Katakuri, go help Mom, or Whole Cake Island won't be able to handle it," Perospero called out.

"I can't do it..."

Katakuri's forehead creased with annoyance, and he muttered, "At this level, we can't get involved at all; we'll only be a burden to Mom."

BOOM!!!

With another loud bang, Kuro swooped down from the sky, descending with a golden light, and slashed at Charlotte Linlin's Napoleon sword. The latter used her arms to deflect Kuro's sword and then slashed back.

Kuro straightened up, dodging the slash, and then unleashed a fierce strike.

"Slash Wave!"

"Wei Kingdom!!"

Charlotte Linlin grinned maliciously and unleashed a shockwave that deflected the golden slash, its momentum undiminished as it hurtled towards Kuro.

Bang!

Kuro raised his sword to block the shockwave, then flipped the blade upwards to deflect it.

"Lion bites!"

The instant he was thrown away, Kuro suddenly swung his sword, sending a violent gust of wind whistling through the air towards the area where the old woman was below.

Sizzle!

Tiny wind blades formed by the gale constantly cut into her body.

The battle paused for a brief moment.

"call..."

Kuro exhaled and slightly adjusted his posture.

Charlotte Linlin's power is indeed far beyond his.

If it weren't for his ability to maneuver in the air, he really wouldn't be able to withstand this power in a direct confrontation.

"Kid, I'm liking you more and more, really don't you want to consider it?"

Charlotte Linlin released her grip, lifted Napoleon with one hand, and asked Kuro another question.

"Not interested."

Kuro flung Qiushui away and said coldly, "I'm here to settle accounts with you now, you old hag!"
