One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 121: Instantly Killing the Imperial Vice-President!

At this moment, not a single voice could be heard from any of the nations.

It wasn't the silence that follows a clamor, but the deathly stillness that follows being shaken by a powerful force.

The sound of the wind at this moment seemed to be playing the final dirge for the palace of a sea emperor.

Whether it was the remaining Charlotte Family executives or the remaining elites of the Beast Pirates, they were all frozen in place, completely motionless.

They just stood there, stunned, their minds unable to process the mind-blowing scene they had just witnessed.

That's... the headquarters of the Big Mom Pirates, Whole Cake Island!

It is a symbol of the power that Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, has used to rule this sea for decades, a dream fortress built with countless treasures and powerful abilities.

But just now, in an instant.

That man named Chen Ye was completely destroyed in an instant, leaving not even a trace!

Everything was gone.

"Plague" Quinn's obese body trembled uncontrollably, his sunglasses had slipped off his face at some point, and his once cynical face was now filled with pure horror after repeated shocks.

He even seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

Charlotte Smoothie, one of the generals, had knuckles that were already white as she gripped her longsword, but her palms were empty and she couldn't muster any strength. A chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to her head.

Cracker collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself with lifeless eyes.

"It's fake...a hallucination...this must be a hallucination..."

But the smooth, mirror-like giant pit ruthlessly proclaimed—this was not a dream.

This is reality.

A reality more despairing than the most terrifying nightmare.

In this frozen, deathly silence, two figures finally broke free from the extreme shock and fear.

"The Blaze" Ash!

Charlotte Katakuri!

As the first mates of two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, their willpower is far stronger than that of others.

The shock lingered in their eyes for less than a second before being burned away by an even stronger emotion, one that could consume everything!

That was an overwhelming rage and humiliation!

Behind Jin, black wings suddenly unfurled, and blazing flames surged wildly across his body, clearly indicating that he was now extremely enraged.

He was the top commander of the Beasts Pirates and the strongest being after Kaido. He had never experienced such powerlessness and contempt before!

The other side didn't even take them seriously and destroyed their ally's headquarters right in front of them!

On the other side, Katakuri stood up from the ground, his scarlet scarf fluttering wildly in the wind, and his eyes, which could foresee the future, burned with an unprecedented rage.

Perospero is his brother, and Cake Castle is his home.

Now, my brother has been killed by the enemy, and our home has been destroyed!

This is not a provocation, this is the most complete trampling on the Big Mom Pirates!

Their eyes met in mid-air, and without a word, they instantly reached an agreement.

As the first mates of the Emperor, they represent the Captain's face and the dignity of the Four Emperors!

Even if you know that the monster in front of you is invincible, you must still attack!

This is a mission, and even more so, a source of pride!

"boom!"

Two terrifying auras surged into the sky at the same time, like two dormant volcanoes erupting at the same moment!

Ember's figure transformed into a burning streak of light, and flames condensed on his blade into a ferocious fire dragon.

Katakuri's body instantly turned into mochi, and several pitch-black giant fists wrapped in ultimate Armament Haki appeared around him, exuding an aura of invincibility.

One left and one right.

A flame representing the Beasts Pirates.

One that represents the power of the Big Mom Pirates.

At this moment, the two powerful figures at the deputy royal level launched a life-or-death attack on the figure in the center of the giant pit!

However, Chen Ye didn't even turn around.

He still had his back to everyone, but calmly raised his head and glanced at the crack in the sky that had been torn apart by his Conqueror's Haki and had yet to heal.

The expression on his face suggested he was admiring a newly completed painting.

He even ignored the attack from behind.

This kind of disregard is more likely to ignite the anger of the strong than any mockery!

"asshole!!!"

Jin roared, merging with the fire dragon on the blade, transforming into a fiery meteor that tore through the atmosphere, heading straight for Chen Ye's back!

Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor!

Katakuri also pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, and the Armament Haki-enhanced iron fists around him sealed off all space from all directions at supersonic speeds!

"Peerless Donuts!"

Two extremely powerful forces, carrying a determination to kill, attacked Chen Ye in an instant.

But just three meters before the attack was about to reach Chen Ye's body.

hum-

An invisible realm belonging exclusively to the Sun God unfolds automatically, centered on Chen Ye.

Whether it was Jin's blazing fire dragon or Katakuri's indestructible iron fist, they both began to mysteriously dissipate the moment they entered this area.

The flames, powerful enough to melt steel, were extinguished silently.

The power that could shatter the earth vanished into thin air.

There was no collision, no explosion, not even a ripple of energy.

The two royal vice-presidents' all-out attack, risking their dignity, was completely disintegrated and reduced to nothingness just three meters from the target by an incomprehensible force.

That area rejected their attack.

"Too slow."

Chen Ye finally spoke, his voice not loud, but like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

"and……"

He paused, then uttered those two words in a detached, factual tone.

"Too weak."

Before he could finish speaking...

Chen Ye's gaze didn't even turn completely; it merely swept lightly across the two figures who were frozen in place because their attacks had been neutralized.

After glancing at the two of them, Chen Ye instantly unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki to attack them.

"puff--!!!"

"Whoa—!!!"

King and Katakuri, two great pirates with bounties exceeding one billion, were struck squarely in the chest by powerful Conqueror's Haki!

The sound of their sternums shattering could be clearly heard.

He was sent flying uncontrollably backward, tracing two gruesome arcs before crashing heavily into the ruins hundreds of meters away!

Boom!

Smoke and dust rose, and gravel flew everywhere.

When the dust settled, the two lay in the rubble, their bones broken in countless places. They struggled, but couldn't lift even a single finger.

The anger and humiliation in their eyes had long since vanished.

Pure, boundless fear and bewilderment.

The entire venue fell into an even deeper, more suffocating silence than before.

If erasing the cake castle in one blow is a miracle...

So what's so special about killing two vice-presidents with a single glance?

This is beyond description.

Under the utterly devastated gazes of all the survivors, Chen Ye finally turned around slowly.

His gaze swept past those "minor figures" who were no longer worthy of his attention.

Those golden eyes calmly stared at Charlotte Linlin, who was trembling with extreme rage in the distance, and at the Den Den Mushi in her hand that was still transmitting Kaido's roar.

Then, he extended an invitation that felt like a trial.

His voice still carried an air of unwavering confidence.

"Don't come up here and embarrass yourself, you small fry."

"You two, come at me together."

"To avoid wasting my time."
