Noro asked with interest, "King, what do you think?"
Before King could answer, Noro added, "Just treat it like going to the red-light district."
Linlin was quite beautiful now, wasn't she?
Linlin, in the sky, frowned in displeasure upon hearing this. "Hey, hey, brat, you're being very impolite!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, my apologies."
Noro apologized insincerely. Anyway, Linlin didn't see any apology in him.
Linlin didn't care about this either. If she did, she wouldn't have taken so many husbands.
Linlin spread her arms, staring at King with burning eyes. "How about it, King?"
"You should have heard my story. As long as we unite, my talent combined with your Race of Gods bloodline will birth the strongest person on this sea."
"Whether it's pirates, Marines, or the World Government, they will all fall to this great life."
"I will create a nation where all races live in peace, and you will restore the divine glory of the Lunarian race!"
Linlin spoke freely of her grand ambitions.
Noro couldn't even be bothered to pour cold water on her. You two think you can overthrow the World Government just by having a child?
However, Noro was indeed curious about what kind of terrifying monster would be born from the union of the Race of Gods and the Iron Balloon.
As for the child, Linlin couldn't snatch it from their Beasts Pirates!
Hmm…
Does this count as surrogacy?
A bit much!
Who cares, he's a pirate!
But the key was King's own willingness.
King remained expressionless. It wasn't his first time hearing such words.
Shiki had tried to recruit him similarly last time.
This time, King gave the same answer: "Sounds good, but I refuse!"
Noro spread his hands, indicating he couldn't help. "Truly sorry about this."
Linlin's face instantly darkened, staring at King with hostility. "Do you know what you're saying?"
A vast, majestic Conqueror's Haki erupted from Linlin, pressing directly towards King.
"I said I refuse!"
King, not to be outdone, erupted with his own Conqueror's Haki, powerfully clashing with hers.
The two Haki met in mid-air, colliding and compressing, generating dense dark red lightning.
"Conqueror's Haki? You have it too?"
Linlin was first stunned, then excitedly licked the corner of her mouth, her gaze towards King growing more satisfied and greedy.
"This is not up to you!"
Linlin's Conqueror's Haki erupted even more fiercely, gaining the upper hand like a hot knife through butter, completely suppressing King's Conqueror's Haki.
Noro raised an eyebrow slightly.
It wasn't surprising that King's Conqueror's Haki couldn't match Linlin's.
The young Linlin was different from the elderly Big Mom.
Noro clearly remembered what the young Big Mom said when she met Kaido: she was the woman who would become the King of the World!
Linlin grabbed Prometheus with one hand. The fireball transformed into a small sun, flames burning fiercely.
"Today, you're coming whether you agree or not!"
"Heavenly Fire!"
A scorching pillar of fire tore through the sky, howling towards Noro and King.
Noro reached out to stop King, who wanted to step forward. "Let me handle this. You are no match for this woman!"
King felt gloomy again.
He couldn't beat Shiki, he didn't lose to Bullet but couldn't beat him either, and now he couldn't beat Linlin.
Noro didn't have time to comfort the kid by saying, That's because you're fighting top-tier opponents.
"Say, aren't you looking down on people a bit too much, Linlin? I'm still here."
Flames erupted from Noro's mouth, and a scorching pillar of fire shot forth.
"Flame Breath!" (Name changed, super loud!)
Boom—!
The two pillars of fire collided in mid-air, the flames spreading in all directions with the explosive shockwave.
Ringo was on fire again, damn it!
Her attack blocked, Linlin narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Noro, the Vice-Captain of the Beasts Pirates.
"Are you really going to start a war between our two pirate crews over this small matter?!"
Noro casually picked his ear. "If he's willing, then naturally I have nothing to say. But…"
His tone shifted, and Noro's lips curled into an untamed, savage grin. "If he's not willing, no one can force my comrade to do something he doesn't want to do in front of me."
"And that includes you!"
Although he knew Noro definitely wouldn't hand him over to this woman, hearing these words still made King's heart tremble.
Linlin suddenly smiled, raising an eyebrow. "Then let's see if you can protect him!"
Pirates had pirate rules. If you wanted something, you just took it.
Linlin gripped Napoleon tightly with both hands, sweeping the longsword horizontally. A chilling light tore through the void, and a crescent-shaped slash shot forth.
"Ikoku!"
Noro grabbed his Sun Eater halberd beside him, sneering. "Let's see then!"
He thrust the Sun Eater halberd forward, blocking the howling slash. With a powerful sweep, Noro deflected the slash right back!
Noro stomped his feet, instantly creating a crater in the ground. He transformed into a cannonball, charging towards Linlin with his Sun Eater halberd.
On the blade of Sun Eater, dark red lightning was already pulsing restlessly.
Noro knew the rules of the Yonko!
When meeting, first exchange a blow imbued with Conqueror's Haki infusion, split the sky to say hello!
Linlin didn't even use Armament Haki. She clenched her fist and swung it forcefully. The slash deflected by Noro was deflected again, falling into the waterfall below.
The ceaseless waterfall was split open, the water flow interrupted, unable to heal for a long time.
Looking at the Sun Eater halberd wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, a flash of surprise crossed Linlin's eyes. Her lips curled up, and she gripped Napoleon tightly with both hands.
On Napoleon's treacherous smiling face, dark red lightning also danced.
"Mama mama mama mama… Good! Come on!"
Linlin, riding the thundercloud Zeus, swooped down, actively meeting the attack.
In the next second.
Noro and Linlin's weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. Dark red lightning intertwined in the air, the surrounding atmosphere seeming to ignite.
The collision of their power generated a powerful shockwave, uprooting surrounding trees, and massive fissures appeared on the ground.
The wind fanned the flames, and with the trees as fuel, the fires in Ringo burned even brighter.
Even the clouds were dyed red like fire clouds.
However, the clouds had other things to do now. They tactfully parted to the sides.
It understood, it understood. It was splitting open again.
A smile suddenly bloomed on Linlin's beautiful face. Her eyes greedily scrutinized the Beasts Pirates Vice-Captain clashing Conqueror's Haki with her.
"Mama mama mama mama… Noro, how about you and that Lunarian brat both become my husbands!"
