Kaido awakens and defeat Luffy during battle of Onigashima

Chapter 40: Chapter 38 War (Part 2)



The reason Brûlée made this decision was due to lessons learned from past experiences.

When Katakuri was dueling someone in the Mirror-World, she couldn't help but be curious and went in to watch the battle. Originally, her brother had a sure chance of victory, but her intervention gave his opponent a chance to avoid Katakuri's attack. The kidnapped Brûlée became the opponent's tool for freely traveling through the Mirror-World, making it impossible for Katakuri to pursue victory. Eventually, the opponent turned defeat into victory. His undefeated record ended here, and Brûlée felt deeply guilty every time she thought about it.

Brûlée smiled at this time and said, "Brother and sister, we must have confidence in brother Katakuri"

Oven and Compote also smiled, obviously reassured by his strength.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden noise from the crowd in the castle, and the three immediately went to check.

They saw two Charlotte family children lying on the ground injured, with two hideous blood marks on their bodies.

Seeing the miserable condition of his younger siblings, Oven was shocked and angry. He looked around and asked, "What's going on? Who did this?"

Compote hurriedly shouted, "Where is the ship's doctor? Take them for treatment quickly!"

Mondée pointed at L'Aquila angrily and said, "Brother, it was him who did it! Just now Nusstorte and Marble suddenly attacked, and he seriously injured them!"

Oven first glanced at L'Aquila, who was still silent, and then asked his younger brother and sister who were wailing in pain, "Why didn't you listen and take action without permission? Didn't I tell you not to act rashly?"

The 41st son of the Charlotte family, Nusstorte, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Oven, among the outposts he killed were my close friends. I was so angry for a moment... but I never thought it would harm Marble. I'm sorry!"

The 34th daughter, Marble, said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, brother! I couldn't stop him!"

Oven completely understood that Nusstorte wanted to take revenge, and Marble tried to stop him. As a result, both were seriously injured by L'Aquila. He was aware of the strength gap between his younger siblings and the other party. The other party could have killed them but didn't, taking into account the Charlotte family's face and showing mercy.

However, even though it was his own people who took action first, when had their family ever suffered such anger? Not even from the Beasts Pirates!

Oven clenched his fists. After a moment of silence, he first comforted his siblings and then had them helped down for treatment. He then turned around and stared at the man with an unkind expression.

L'Aquila was still sitting cross-legged by the mirror, unmoved, as if nothing had happened.

Compote, seeing her brother's grim expression, quickly tried to dissuade him, "Oven, don't mess around. Wait until Katakuri comes out!"

Oven, still 5 meters away, stepped forward and said, "Sister, don't worry about this! I'll take the responsibility if anything happens!"

Seeing that they couldn't stop him, Compote and others quickly evacuated the surrounding family members. At this time, L'Aquila finally raised his head and looked at him coldly, but still made no move.

Oven's arms emitted a terrifying high-temperature red light. As he approached, he said, "I don't care if you are really mute or just pretending to be stupid. If you hurt someone in our family, you have to pay the price!"

He was the pyromaniac of Paramecia's Heat-Heat Fruit, which could release extremely high heat to burn his opponents and even melt any matter close to him. Although there was only a bounty of 300 million, the threat he presented was not low at all.

The moment the fiery attack approached, L'Aquila's figure disappeared on the spot, and the ground was immediately baked and melted into a large hole. Oven looked up and saw that the other party had turned his arms into wings, waving them and floating in the air, looking down at him coldly.

L'Aquila glanced at the mirror on the ground. That was where King had told him to wait, and it couldn't be destroyed. He frowned, immediately flapped his wings, and suddenly accelerated towards the outside of the castle.

Oven was also concerned about the damage to the Whole Cake Chateau at this moment. Although their country had many capable ministers who could quickly repair the building, this castle symbolized the glory of the Charlotte family. If the damage was too great, it would harm their reputation.

Previously, the Straw Hat Crew had a big wedding tea party, causing the entire castle to collapse into ruins. Not only did the reconstruction consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but it also became a great shame for their pirate group. Therefore, Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, went to Wano Country to hunt down the Straw Hats at all costs.

At this time, L'Aquila's escape played into his hands, and he immediately pursued him at full speed. After running to the central street of the island, Oven saw the man standing on the roof waiting for him. This feeling of being fooled made him even more irritated. Affected by his own Heat-Heat Fruit ability, his eyes were on fire at this moment.

"Hot Wind Fist!"

The high-temperature fist that glowed red was punched out violently, causing the surrounding air to instantly distort, and the scorching waves of fist wind immediately swept towards the target. With a dull roar, half of the tall building made of cream cake exploded and was still melting. But L'Aquila avoided the attack instantly before it hit.

Oven scolded angrily, "You are a mute who has no courage and bullies the younger ones. Don't you dare fight me head-on?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the figure that was constantly hovering in the sky swooped down towards him at high speed. Oven was startled, then sneered, "You're here just in time. Watch me roast you, bird!"

With a low roar, the Heat-Heat Fruit's power was fully activated, and his whole body radiated a terrifying high-temperature red light. The surrounding buildings were affected and began to melt. However, for such a monster that was impossible to get even close to, the next moment he was directly kicked and ejected by the winged figure, crashing through and melting several buildings.

At this moment, L'Aquila's arms had turned into wings, his feet into sharp and huge hooks, and his head and torso were still human, exactly like the hybrid form of the flying Zoan Devil Fruit. In the moment just now, he hardened his claws with the powerful Armament Haki and knocked the opponent away with one blow. Although he was not injured, the opponent's high-temperature ability still caused white smoke to emit from his claws.

L'Aquila couldn't help but frown, obviously feeling threatened by this tricky ability. Oven, who underestimated the opponent's strength and courage, now paid the price for his carelessness and made a fool of himself in front of everyone. Although he was not seriously injured, he was extremely ashamed and angry when he fell in the ruins. He stood up again and rushed forward, but he had already put away his previous contempt.

The two men re-evaluated each other's strength and charged in unison. The blazing fist and the black claws collided again, and the scorching airwaves and Haki's impact immediately spread out, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse and melt one after another.
