"Nine Ropes. Polarized light. Crow and declaration. Between front and back…"
A magnetic voice rang out amidst the storm and the rumbling thunder, as infinite imaginary mass erupted.
On Renji's calm yet excited face, an eerie purple light shone across the sea, swallowing everything, including a terrified Linlin.
Maximum output, Unrestricted Hollow Technique: Purple.
Its expanding purple light instantly engulfed the giant female homie. The towering ripple was clearly visible even dozens of miles away.
Deep beneath the sea, a massive yet emaciated figure slowly sank, gradually buried by the endless darkness.
The gaunt figure with blood-soaked skin was none other than one of the Four Emperors of the New World, Linlin, who had been dominating the entire world just half a day ago.
Renji! That guy... is he actually going to kill me?
Her consciousness gradually blurred. After burning her lifespan and suffering severe injuries, Linlin's last remaining thoughts rapidly dissipated.
However, if no one discovered her sinking to the bottom of the sea, even after being injured to this extent, relying on her awakened Soul-Soul Fruit, Linlin still had a final life-saving method.
Linlin prayed in her heart.
Renji had unleashed such a powerful attack. The final move, a self-destructing nuclear bomb-like attack, and the profound skill of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Mother's Visit Cannon: 3000 Leagues of Misery, exploded together.
An ordinary body would have suffered an even more tragic fate than hers. Renji couldn't possibly still be pursuing her.
As long as no one pursued her here and delivered a fatal blow, she, Linlin, would still be able to rise again and would never fall so easily.
However, two clear blue lights completely shattered Linlin's illusion. They were a pair of clear, bright eyes.
Normally, anyone who could fight Linlin to this extent would either be dead or severely crippled. But unfortunately, she had encountered Renji.
"You're truly tenacious, old hag." A slight smile hung on Renji's lips.
As expected of a monster who, without systematic training, just spent her days eating, drinking, and having children with men, yet still managed to grow into a Four Emperors-level figure.
She had simultaneously endured Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void and Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, as well as a Divine Departure piercing her chest. She even faced the vibration damage of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and finally, took an Unrestricted Hollow Technique: Purple to the face.
Even with all that, Linlin still wasn't completely dead.
Besides the Four Emperors, if it were anyone else, for example, Katakuri, he would have died countless times over.
If he, Renji, also had such physical aptitude and talent, he would already be the king of the entire world. Why would he need to choose such a place and method to deal with the Four Emperors?
Currently, Renji still needed the identity of an Admiral to do many things.
Thinking these thoughts, his movements didn't slow down in the slightest. A sharp cursed energy enveloped Kurai, and he unleashed countless slashes wildly towards Linlin.
"Ugh..."
Under Linlin's disbelieving gaze, countless powerful attacks instantly landed on various vital points on her body.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully killing the peak Pirate Linlin!]
[Obtained 438,800 Bounty points of billion-level bounty value! Proof of the Strongest * 1!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for achieving the stage accomplishment: Emperor Hunter's Blade (Completed the killing of two pirates known as Four Emperors)!]
[Reward: Knife of Respect for the Elderly and Love for the Young (World-class)! 100,000 Bounty points!]
In the huge ocean vortex caused by the ripple of Unrestricted Hollow Technique: Purple, a figure surged out of the sea.
Renji's eyes glowed with spirit, and his aura of power gradually intensified due to excitement.
He pulled out a small golden knife. The blade was only 5 centimeters long, but its quality, at a glance, was extraordinary.
The scabbard was engraved with golden leaf patterns, emitting a gentle aura.
"Knife of Respect for the Elderly and Love for the Young?" Renji floated on the sea, curiously examining the small object in his hand, then drew the knife.
[Knife of Respect for the Elderly and Love for the Young (World-class): Judges the target of a cut. For targets that qualify as elderly or infants, each cut ignores defense and deals one-thousandth of their current maximum health as true damage!]
This small knife...
Renji smiled slightly. He had to admit, this small knife really suited his taste.
"What a delightful battle, Linlin. I'll probably need two days to forget you."
...
Whole Cake Island.
Bang... Bang...
The fierce clash of Haki continued.
The battle between Miguel and Katakuri had gone from an initial back-and-forth to Katakuri gaining the upper hand, and then evolving into the current fifty-fifty situation.
"Why hasn't Katakuri taken down this Marine Captain yet?"
"This isn't right, is it? Why do I feel like this Marine Captain... seems to be getting stronger the more he fights?"
"Exactly, I can feel that the Armament Haki on him is already able to clash head-on with Katakuri without falling behind."
"Such rapid progress in such a short time?"
Under the anxious gaze of the pirates, they eagerly awaited the return of their backbone, the Four Emperors Linlin.
Although Linlin usually treated them with extreme brutality, where a single mistake could lead to her taking decades of their lifespan on the spot, and even instant death was highly possible, in the current situation, there was no better solution than to quickly hope for her return.
In this world, the strong are destined to have higher status.
Unfortunately, these pirates would never have imagined that Linlin, whom they regarded as their savior, was already dead.
