*Chapter 140: Charlotte Linlin Goes Crazy*

Raijin had no idea what was happening in Dressrosa.

He had anticipated that Kaido would arrive, especially if he didn’t head to Dressrosa himself.

In that case, Uchiha Izumi was there to keep things under control, just in case Kaido showed up with a fleet and tried to take advantage of the situation during his battle with Charlotte Linlin.

Raijin wouldn’t put himself in danger without a well-thought-out plan.

Having been cautious in Konoha for eighteen years, Raijin never let his guard down, even when he came to this vast sea.

Compared to Konoha, this sea was full of dangers! At least in Konoha, the most dangerous moment was the night of the clan's massacre.

Here, facing the sea’s monsters, Raijin wouldn’t make the first move unless he was absolutely certain of victory.

Just like now, as he faced the old hag, Charlotte Linlin.

Crash!

The chakra blade in Susanoo’s hand was sent flying.

Charlotte Linlin relentlessly pursued, unleashing all her power with a fierce determination.

Lightning and flames roared, and the terrifying impact force continued to spread inside Susanoo.

Susanoo’s interior trembled, almost as if it was about to shatter.

But with Raijin’s chakra constantly repairing it, Susanoo could fully withstand Charlotte Linlin’s onslaught.

The Asura’s Sage Body enhanced his ninjutsu and physical abilities, and while it couldn’t compare to the Six Paths Power, Susanoo was still a part of ninjutsu. With the added strength, Raijin could unleash unprecedented power through Susanoo.

However, he couldn’t use all his techniques at once. Even if he had many methods, they had to be used one at a time.

For instance, Kamui—unless it was a life-or-death situation, Raijin wouldn’t reveal it easily.

“Yasaka Magatama!”

Having lost the blade, Susanoo’s hand formed a string of Magatama beads.

The Magatama, with immense destructive power, cut through the air and hurtled towards Charlotte Linlin.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground shattered, and amidst the smoke, Charlotte Linlin emerged with a grimace on her face.

She wasn’t injured at all. Despite Raijin’s Sharingan ensuring the Magatama hit its mark, her body was beyond human imagination.

Even with such a powerful force striking her, there wasn’t a scratch.

Without adding Haki, it was hard to inflict damage on a woman like Charlotte Linlin.

“Brat, is that all you’ve got?”

Charlotte Linlin grinned with her sharp teeth, a bit of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

The brief battle had made her feel a bit hungry.

Seeing Raijin’s Susanoo, she even wanted to take a bite out of it.

“Old hag, the fight so far has just been a test. The real battle is just beginning.”

Raijin narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased with being called that.

Just because he was new to the sea, everyone called him a brat.

Honestly, to the Uchiha clan, such a nickname was a path to death.

Raijin was already itching to make these people change how they addressed him.

Whoosh!

Two long wings extended from Susanoo’s back, with extra hands on the wings holding two large swords.

Susanoo’s size continued to expand, surpassing several hundred meters in an instant.

Standing in front of Charlotte Linlin, it had become a towering giant.

Raijin stood atop the crystal at Susanoo’s peak, his eyes filled with indifference.

It was as if Charlotte Linlin before him was nothing.

“This guy…”

Charlotte Linlin’s face showed a hint of excitement.

This was the power Raijin had unleashed when he first arrived on the island.

Such overwhelming power made her feel oppressed.

She couldn’t wait to get her hands on that power.

“Mamamamama! Such power is truly incredible. If I had it…”

“The Pirate King’s throne would be within reach, wouldn’t it?”

Charlotte Linlin laughed and suddenly leaped into the air.

A thundercloud immediately rushed up behind her, carrying her into the sky, where she could barely meet Raijin at eye level.

This battle had changed drastically from its original form, escalating towards the destruction of the island.

No one cared about the island’s fate; even if it sank into the sea, few would notice.

They were more concerned about who would emerge victorious between these two.

“Charlotte Linlin, you’ve never experienced the power of a fully realized Susanoo, have you?”

“Let me show you what the Uchiha’s strongest power is, what the power of a god truly means.”

Raijin’s cold voice reached Charlotte Linlin’s ears.

After all, this was the first time a fully realized Susanoo had appeared on the sea.

For now, only he in the Uchiha clan could activate the complete Susanoo.

After all, he had the Asura’s Sage Body, and his chakra was limitless.

Even if the consumption was enormous, it could be replenished in an instant.

Uchiha Izumi had already reached the fourth stage, which was impressive.

But opening the full Susanoo was not yet possible for her.

“A god…”

Charlotte Linlin’s pupils contracted as she seriously watched Raijin above.

This guy had just mentioned something important.

The power of a god!

The first thing Charlotte Linlin thought of was the Celestial Dragons.

After all, the Celestial Dragons claimed to be gods on the sea.

But in the eyes of people like her, they were just trash.

However, Raijin seemed to be serious.

Could the Uchiha clan have something to do with the Void Century?

Or could it be that during the eight-hundred-year void, the Uchiha clan was involved?

Just one word had sparked a series of thoughts in Charlotte Linlin’s mind.

After all, the so-called “god” was too sensitive, the only taboo on the sea.

Slash!

The massive sword, several hundred meters long, was drawn.

The force it generated sliced the surrounding mountains in half.

Charlotte Linlin stood in the eye of the storm.

Hurricanes swirled around her, but they couldn’t move her an inch.

“It’s coming!”

Charlotte Linlin’s pupils shrank as Napoleon in her hand suddenly grew larger and longer.

Although it couldn’t compare to Raijin’s chakra sword, it was still a massive weapon.

Only someone with Charlotte Linlin’s strength could wield it.

Buzz!

Raijin didn’t call out any moves; he simply crossed his arms and coldly controlled Susanoo to slash downward.

At the level of a fully realized Susanoo, there was no need to use any other ninjutsu.

Just a casual move wielded a power akin to an unstoppable natural disaster.

“Zeus, Prometheus!”

Charlotte Linlin let out a shout, and in an instant, lightning and flames enveloped Napoleon.

Above, the lightning and flames intertwined continuously, with the two forces perfectly complementing each other.

When harnessed by Charlotte Linlin, they wielded an unparalleled power.

"Boom!"

Charlotte Linlin casually swung her weapon, unleashing an incredibly powerful slash.

In a flash, it collided with Susanoo's great sword.

"Rumble!"

The island was engulfed in flashes of lightning and rolling thunder.

The entire island had become a forbidden zone.

Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea wouldn’t dare approach carelessly.

Standing atop the fully-formed Susanoo, Raijin watched with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As expected, even blue plastic can’t push back against the sea's strongest forces.

Would I need to awaken the Rinnegan to dominate the field?

"Mamamamama!"

A chilling laugh echoed from above.

Everyone could see Charlotte Linlin breaking through the storm, riding on thunderclouds as she charged directly at Raijin.

After all, none of the Four Emperors were pushovers.

Thinking that the battle could end this easily was impossible.

For both of them, the fight was only just beginning, like a warm-up.

It might take an entire day and night to conclude.

"Boom!"

Charlotte Linlin's massive sword, infused with lightning and fire, was swung forcefully.

A terrifying slash was directed at Susanoo's face.

"Rumble!"

The slash continuously cut through Susanoo’s surface.

A portion of it was sliced open, directly threatening Raijin at its center.

Raijin's eyes widened in surprise; Susanoo had been breached.

Even though Susanoo is said to be the ultimate defense.

In the world of ninjas, it could resist any technique, any attack.

But here on the seas, it felt like just a fragile blue shell.

No matter!

Raijin reassured himself slightly.

His Susanoo wasn’t powerful enough yet.

That’s because it lacked Indra's Sage Eyes.

The fully-formed Susanoo awakened by Indra's chakra reincarnation and an ordinary person’s Susanoo aren’t even comparable.

"Bang!"

Raijin leaped out of Susanoo, and the massive figure dissipated in an instant.

But instead of evading, he leaped straight toward Charlotte Linlin.

Whoosh!

The blue chakra swirled around him once again, instantly forming a massive suit of armor.

With a colossal chakra sword in hand, he struck down at Charlotte Linlin from above.

"Bang!"

Charlotte Linlin’s enormous body crashed to the ground.

The entire island trembled like an earthquake before slowly calming down.

This strike created a massive crater in the center of the island.

At the center of the crater was none other than Charlotte Linlin.

“So this is something that can be discarded!”

Charlotte Linlin originally thought that once Susanoo was activated.

Raijin would be trapped inside, but she hadn’t expected things to go differently.

This guy wasn’t trapped but could move freely.

As soon as he left, that so-called Susanoo would disappear.

Lacking this information, Charlotte Linlin suffered a huge loss.

But...

Charlotte Linlin climbed up from the ground.

Covered in dirt, she no longer looked as unruffled as before.

In contrast, Uchiha Raijin’s clothes barely had any dust on them.

“Kid! I’ll make sure to conquer your Uchiha clan!”

Charlotte Linlin’s eyes were filled with anger as she gritted her teeth and reached toward her waist.

As long as she got hold of the Uchiha clan, it wouldn’t be a loss.

The Uchiha are definitely a crucial piece in her plan to become the Pirate King.

And the Uchiha clan must have some connection to the kingdom from 800 years ago.

“Mama...!”

Prometheus was shocked as he looked at Charlotte Linlin.

He didn’t expect her to go to such lengths to get the Uchiha clan.

He knew that this technique consumed her own life, unlike previous techniques that used the souls of others.

Using her own life to gain a temporary power boost.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t worth it.

“Shut up! This Uchiha Raijin...is worth it.”

Charlotte Linlin’s eyes were bloodshot, and she looked crazed.

Next moment!

Thump!

Her already massive body expanded even further.

Now she was almost comparable to the giants.

Her aura had also changed, becoming even more terrifying.

It was as if...

A true demon god had descended.

Even Whitebeard would frown at this sight.

“This old hag...using her life to gain a temporary boost.”

“Am I really that important to her?”

Raijin stood inside Susanoo, looking at Charlotte Linlin’s expanding body.

And the increasingly terrifying aura, his heart skipped a beat.

Raijin felt a chill down his spine; if Charlotte Linlin were in her usual state.

He was confident they could fight to a draw, and that was his goal.

After all, he also wanted to cooperate with Charlotte Linlin.

But he couldn’t just submit to her.

So, they had to fight, and he had to show his strength.

Then they could become partners.

But now!

Damn it.

Charlotte Linlin seemed to be playing for keeps.

If things went like this, Raijin couldn’t hold back at all.

He would have to fight for his life!

To be honest, Raijin wasn’t prepared to deal with this form yet.

It seems that Susanoo can’t be held back at all now!

Facing this monster, he had to go all out.

Raijin’s mind was racing, keeping an eye on Charlotte Linlin’s next move.

"Boom!"

Charlotte Linlin’s massive figure shot up from the ground.

Zeus immediately followed her, becoming her foothold.

She flew rapidly through the air, arriving in front of Raijin in an instant.

“Blazing Light Cannon!”

Charlotte Linlin shouted, and Zeus and Prometheus immediately moved to Napoleon’s front.

The sword pierced through, with Zeus at the tip.

Charlotte Linlin looked at Zeus, feeling slightly relieved.

In the past, when they used this move, Zeus often messed up.

Fortunately, this time, he didn’t fail.

“Bang!”

A beam of intense light swept across.

Between heaven and earth, only the light from Charlotte Linlin’s attack remained.

It extended for who knows how many miles, even piercing the clouds.

Everyone watching from the sea felt a chill in their hearts.

Luckily, they weren’t the ones fighting; they were just here to watch.

If they had been in Charlotte Linlin’s path, not even their bones would be left.

But they hadn’t expected that these great pirates would be so powerful.

Incredibly powerful, beyond reason.

“Can Raijin withstand this?”

Mihawk also watched the intense light with shock and seriousness.

To be honest!

Mihawk didn’t know if he could withstand it if he were in Raijin’s place, using his well-honed swordsmanship.

At this moment, something caught Mihawk’s attention.

A few pirates with bounties over 100 million berries were already kneeling, trembling uncontrollably.

Some were even vomiting.

This was fear, fear that manifested physically.

Mihawk had never seen such a reaction on the seas.

Was this fear?

Fear to this extent?

Just this one attack could crush the dreams of countless aspiring Pirate Kings.

This was a battle of a completely different level; even watching from afar was terrifying.

“Of course he can.”

Kakashi nodded seriously.

He believed that Raijin wouldn’t die here.

That guy must have a backup plan.

“Is that so?”

Mihawk fell silent. He didn’t know where Kakashi’s confidence came from.

After all, he didn’t think he could withstand it, yet Kakashi believed this king could.

Then let me see.

“Hey, you’re the world’s greatest swordsman, right? Teach me swordsmanship! Make me stronger, stronger than Raijin.”

At that moment, a small figure with a smug expression suddenly appeared beside Mihawk.

Sasuke was struggling on the ship. Watching this battle didn’t give him any insights.

Only more pressure, making him feel suffocated.

Raijin was like a towering mountain!

Sasuke felt that no matter what he did, he couldn’t surpass him.

Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, defeating this man seemed impossible.

What should he do?

Sasuke didn’t know, so he sought out Mihawk.
