Níðhöggr (Two in one chs)!

Accompanied by thunderous roars, the colossal beast emerging from the clouds, prowled around Nicholas, its massive body looming in and out of the dark clouds.

Nicholas looked down at Charlotte Linlin on the ground as if she were nothing but a tiny ant. Then, the terrifying beast that had already condensed suddenly roared ferociously, its claws and fangs ready to devour Charlotte Linlin!

As the roar echoed, all the thunderous energy in the world seemed to be agitated. In the high sky, lightning bolt after lightning bolt struck down towards Charlotte Linlin.

Where the thunder dragon passed, it seemed as if doomsday had arrived, even the surrounding air seemed to be completely emptied at that moment.

Even the Charlotte family children, who had already distanced themselves several kilometers away, felt as if their throats were being strangled, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

As for Katakuri, who was second only to Charlotte Linlin in strength in the family, his eyes flashed red, as if he had sensed something with his Color of Observation Haki. His face changed drastically as he turned to shout at Big Mom directly under the thunder dragon:

"Mom, get out of the way quickly!"

However, although his reminder was timely, for Charlotte Linlin, who was already confused and in a chaotic state, she seemed to ignore it completely. Instead of dodging, she raised her head to face the thunder dragon rushing towards her, a grim smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. Then, she directly stepped on the thundercloud and soared into the sky, charging towards the thunder dragon head-on.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded through the sky. In that instant, not only Cacao Island, but even the entire Totto Land heard the deafening roar. Countless birds took flight, and the fish in the sea fled towards the outer reaches of Totto Land. Everything seemed as if doomsday had arrived.

On Cacao Island, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in the sky.

In the center of the collision between Charlotte Linlin and the thunder dragon, Charlotte Linlin's hand pressed against the thunder dragon's upper jaw, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on her face.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. Then, the thunder dragon, which had been lifeless like a dead object, began to show signs of life. It circled around Charlotte Linlin, seemingly guarding her.

"What's happening?"

"This... this is unbelievable!"

"Hahaha, it's Mom's power! Nicholas must not have expected that he would inadvertently give Mom such a powerful ally."

Seeing this scene, many of the Charlotte family's children showed expressions of joy. Obviously, from the situation on the battlefield, the massive thunder dragon hovering in the sky had been successfully transformed into a loyal servant by Mom, named Homie.

Nicholas undoubtedly made a wrong move, inadvertently giving Mom a tremendously powerful ally.

" I grant you life, and you shall obey my will... Your name is Níðhöggr (Nidhogg)."

As Charlotte Linlin's voice fell, the thunder dragon Nidhogg, with a spirited look in its eyes, looked up at Nicholas in the sky, its eyes full of hostility.

Clearly, at this moment, Nicholas was no longer its creator but its enemy, the one who had given it life.

Nicholas looked down at the thunder dragon that had betrayed him, his face devoid of any expression.

Then, amidst everyone's puzzled gaze, Nicholas raised his right hand and lightly tapped his thumb and middle finger together.

"Snap~"

With the sound of the snap, the colossal body of the thunder dragon Nidhogg suddenly froze, and then its massive body rapidly disintegrated into countless blue streams of light, dissipating into the surroundings.

At this moment, the blue streams of light in the sky, together with the majestic dragon, seemed like a dream, ethereal and illusory.

In the next moment.

Amidst the horrified gaze of countless people, the colossal body of the thunder dragon suddenly shattered and disintegrated, turning into countless blue streams of light that scattered in all directions across Cacao Island.

After witnessing this scene, everyone on the side of the Big Mom Pirates remained stunned in place.

Just a moment ago, they were rejoicing that Mom had gained a new powerful soul, Homie, but now it had been eradicated in the blink of an eye?

In response, Charlotte Linlin's expression changed, but she did nothing besides her face becoming unpleasant.

"Prometheus, Zeus, Napoleon."

Charlotte Linlin glanced at the Homies beside her.

Zeus immediately understood and flew into the sky filled with dark clouds.

Once in the clouds, Zeus began to influence the thunderclouds with his own power.

These swirling clouds, like thick ink, were the medium for conveying the power of thunder, even if they couldn't provide Charlotte Linlin with a certain degree of temporal advantage, they still had to cut off Nicholas's advantage.

As for Prometheus, he replaced Zeus's previous position and became the mount under Charlotte Linlin's feet, carrying her with the ability to fight in the air.

Nicholas saw the climate change caused by Zeus but paid it no mind.

Charlotte Linlin then swung her giant blade, Napoleon, towards Nicholas, striking out with a menacing blow.

Nicholas immediately conjured his long blade, surrounded by purple lightning, and struck back at Charlotte Linlin with a swift counterattack.

The clash of the strikes and shockwaves caused a violent explosion in the air.

As the shockwaves and smoke swept through the air, the two figures passed each other in the smoke, finally meeting in the center.

Clang!

The two clashed in mid-air.

Sparks flew.

Dense black and red electric arcs and black and purple electric arcs ran rampant between the two.

As their violent powers collided, even larger shockwaves surged forth, and in an instant, a massive circular shockwave spread out in the sky above Cacao Island.

As the two struggled, thunderous flashes suddenly lit up the clouds in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck directly at Nicholas from the clouds.

The one who launched the attack was Zeus, who had entered the clouds earlier.

Almost simultaneously with Zeus launching his attack, a purple lightning stream shot out from the clouds above, directly striking at the lightning bolt launched by Zeus.

In the blink of an eye, the two lightning bolts intertwined and collided in mid-air, emitting dazzling lightning.

"You won't be able to handle the next blow."

Nicholas suddenly spoke.

Then, even before Charlotte Linlin could react, Nicholas suddenly mobilized all the power in his body, Haki, and even the power of the Goro Goro no Mi.

The battle and the exchange of blows between the two top-tier powerhouses continued, shaking the entire sky and sea.

In an instant, Charlotte Linlin felt her hands sink, as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on her giant blade, Napoleon.

This sudden increase in pressure caused her to feel momentarily dazed.

However, she was, after all, a monster who had ruled the New World for many years, floating and sinking on this vast sea.

Almost as soon as she realized that something was wrong, in the next moment, Charlotte Linlin's massive body visibly shrank at an alarming speed, as if burning herself at that moment.

Then, she forcefully mobilized the seemingly endless power within her body to resist Nicholas.

At this moment, an even greater power erupted between the two of them.

The terrifying aftermath emanating from them seemed to stir the clouds, as if invisible hands were tearing the sky apart.

However, within moments—

The previously densely packed clouds scattered, and with the Tyndall effect, beams of sunlight poured down like pillars of light.

Those who were closely watching the battle, including Katakuri and others, as well as residents of other islands in Totto Land, almost simultaneously looked up at the spectacular scene in the sky.

The fierce confrontation between top-tier powerhouses on the sea always appeared magnificent.

But there were not many people who could witness such a scene with their own eyes.

Many ordinary people might never witness a battle between top-tier powerhouses in their entire lives.

Charlotte Linlin had no time to pay attention to the magnificent scene caused by the Tyndall effect.

At this moment, she was on the verge of being unable to withstand Nicholas's power.

She also became increasingly puzzled and shocked.

She couldn't understand why, even though she had exerted all her strength and even burned a part of herself, she still couldn't defeat Nicholas, and she was even starting to struggle against him.

She also wondered why Nicholas's strength was so strong. After all, when he was with the Rocks Pirates, although Nicholas had decent strength, it was mostly due to his Devil Fruit ability. His physical prowess was even inferior to many vice-captains, but now he was able to contend with and even surpass her.

With unanswered questions and growing shock, Charlotte Linlin finally reached her limit.

For Nicholas, Charlotte Linlin's strength and physical prowess came naturally.

She had never even trained; her strength and physical prowess seemed to synchronize with her growth. As long as she ate and drank, her strength naturally increased.

But Nicholas constantly converted his potential and talent into strength.

So at this moment, Nicholas was suppressing Charlotte Linlin.

"Katak, Katak—"

With the tremendous pressure, cracks began to appear on Napoleon's blade, and these cracks spread like an avalanche on the blade at that moment.

"Mom, save me!"

As cracks appeared on the blade, Napoleon's voice of terror rang out.

With cracks emitting white light, the blade finally shattered completely, and shards flew in all directions.

After Napoleon shattered, the long blade in Nicholas's hand, enveloped with immense impact force, slammed into Charlotte Linlin's body.

In an instant, Charlotte Linlin's body trembled violently as if struck by a heavy blow. A huge wound was directly slashed open on her chest, and a large amount of blood gushed out from her mouth and nose, her eyes rolled uncontrollably upward, and even Prometheus under her feet lost consciousness with white eyes.

In the next moment—

Amidst the horrified gaze of countless people, Charlotte Linlin's massive body plummeted from mid-air and crashed into the ground, creating a bottomless crater. After that, there was no sound or movement from her.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's eldest son, Charlotte Perospero, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly let out a piercing scream and rushed towards the deep pit where Charlotte Linlin had fallen as if he were going mad.

"Mom... Mom? Defeated?"

Charlotte Smoothie looked at Nicholas standing in the air, murmuring to herself.

"Sister Compote, go inform Brulee and take the other siblings to retreat through Brulee's Mirror World."

As all the Charlotte children were stunned, Katakuri walked out slowly and instructed Compote, the eldest daughter of the Charlotte family.

"Katakuri, is Mom really..."

Compote ultimately didn't say that sentence because it was too unbelievable.

"We don't know Mom's specific situation for now, but there is no doubt that Mom has been defeated."

Through his superior Observation Haki, Katakuri saw the dried-up body in the deep pit, which even made Katakuri feel horrified.

And Perospero trembled more and more as he approached the deep pit, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

But he still held onto the last trace of hope, stepping forward to the deep pit with difficulty, wanting to confirm Charlotte Linlin's condition.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Charlotte family's children who were shocked.

There were also several gazes filled with surprise gathered here through the Den Den Mushi.

Among them naturally included the crows, led by Karasu, who came to Totto Land with Nicholas.

This battle, although he had anticipated that Nicholas would inflict heavy damage on the Big Mom Pirates, given the destructive power and speed of the Goro Goro no Mi.

But he never expected the outcome to be so terrifying.

Even the pillar of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Linlin, was left in an unknown state by Nicholas's attack.

You see, she's not just any small fry from the New World; she's Charlotte Linlin, a top-tier powerhouse who has dominated a sea area in the New World for many years.

...

In the Sabaody Archipelago, as the range of battles between Bullet, Rayleigh, and others continued to expand, the entire archipelago had descended into chaos.

There were constant rumblings and the sounds of buildings being destroyed.

"Hey hey, Dof, there's urgent news from the New World."

On Grove 18, at the top of the Yarukiman Tree, Trebol held a Den Den Mushi and spoke to Doflamingo.

"Roshinante, help me with this."

Doflamingo, holding a telescope, continued to gaze fixedly at the battlefield without turning his head, speaking to the young man lying against the tree trunk pretending to be asleep.

And the young man wrapped in a cloak of black feathers seemed not to hear at all, perhaps because he was sleeping too soundly, with even a bubble of snot coming out of his nose.

After waiting for half a day without a response, Doflamingo put down his telescope and turned to look, finding the young man sleeping. Without saying anything more, he directly used his strings to grab the Den Den Mushi from Trebol's hand and brought it over to himself.

When he picked up the Den Den Mushi, even the pirate rogue Doflamingo was somewhat surprised, his mouth gaping open.

Because there was only one simple sentence: "Charlotte Linlin defeated, status unknown!"
