Chương 53: Chapter 53: El vs Linlin (2)
"Boom… Boom…"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Whoosh... Whoosh…"
As Linlin screamed hysterically, a visible shockwave, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, swept across the area. The ground cracked and shattered in all directions. Trees, wooden houses, glass, and crystal objects were blown apart and scattered into the air.
This was the result of Linlin successfully combining her Zoan-type Vampire form with her Conqueror's Haki, releasing a terrifyingly powerful and high-frequency ultrasonic shockwave. Its destructive force was unimaginable.
"Ahhh... It's unbearable!"
"It's Linlin's ability, combined with Conqueror's Haki to release a high-frequency sonic wave!"
"Everyone, get away from this island!"
"No, I can't move…"
"Damn it, my head is spinning, my vision is blurring…"
"Big Sis Linlin, please stop!"
"My eardrums feel like they're about to burst!"
"Thud... Thud..."
Out at sea, the normally calm waters of the Calm Belt were now churning with massive waves. Several warships near the dreamlike island rocked violently in the escalating storm. Even the giant Sea Kings in the area fled in panic from the overwhelming aura and terrifying soundwaves.
As the crewmembers of the Fallen Angel Pirates and Dreamland rushed to their ships with their unconscious comrades, even the strongest among them clutched their ears in pain. The sheer proximity to the island made it unbearable, and many were forced to their knees, completely paralyzed.
Those whose strength was below that of a Navy Rear Admiral had already passed out from the pressure.
"Enough is enough!"
At that moment, El's eyes gleamed with intensity. While the others were deeply affected by Linlin's monstrous Conqueror's Haki and ultrasonic attacks, he was an exception.
"Whoosh—" In the blink of an eye, an unparalleled, overwhelming Conqueror's Haki burst forth from El, surging toward the out-of-control Linlin. The two forces—Linlin's ultrasonic-infused Haki and El's pure Conqueror's Haki—clashed violently.
"Boom… Boom…"
"Crack... Crack..."
The ground trembled and shattered as waves of pressure exploded outward. Trees, debris, and rocks were flung into the air, and the sky was streaked with black and red lightning bolts that spread in all directions.
A massive black-and-red sphere formed as the two forces clashed, pushing against each other. Linlin's Conqueror's Haki was swiftly overpowered and crushed.
The moment the Haki vanished, the members of the Fallen Angel Pirates and Dreamland breathed a collective sigh of relief, panting heavily, drenched in cold sweat.
"Phew! We're saved…"
"Linlin's scream was terrifying!"
"Thank goodness… Boss El stopped Linlin!"
"Hurry, set sail! Get away from the island!"
"This is beyond us. Let's leave it to El!"
Rock, Jien, Streusen, and the others, recovering from the intense pressure, quickly issued orders to get the ships moving away from the island. If El hadn't intervened, and if Linlin's soundwave-infused Haki had lasted any longer, they would've suffered far worse—burst eardrums, bleeding from the nose and mouth, or worse.
"Shave!"
In an instant, El disappeared from sight, his foot slamming down as he propelled himself toward Linlin with incredible speed.
"Whoosh—" Without using Haki, El's massive fist crashed through the air like a cannonball, smashing into Linlin.
"Bang!!"
Had Linlin been in control, her refined mastery of the three forms of Haki, thanks to El's training over the years, would've allowed her to dodge or block the attack. However, in her current state, unable to maintain her calm, Linlin's Observation Haki was dulled, and she couldn't react in time.
She was sent flying.
"Boom! Boom!"
The earth shook as Linlin's body plowed through trees, snapping one in half as her massive form was flung across the island like a cannonball. But just before she crashed into the ocean, her body exploded into a swarm of bats, which spread their wings and halted the force of her momentum, swiftly flying back toward the island.
"Pop—"
At the same time, blood-red fog billowed through the air as Linlin's purple-black form flickered, reappearing in multiple directions at once.
"Pop... Pop... Pop..." The sound of ripping air filled the sky as a series of blood-red slashes tore through the atmosphere, raining down on El with ferocious intensity.
"Bang… Bang…"
"Boom… Boom…"
But in the blink of an eye, El's expression remained unchanged. His massive right hand swiped through the air, turning into a blur. The slashes, powerful enough to cleave through steel and mountains, were effortlessly deflected by El's bare hand. They shot off into the distance, striking the earth and ocean far away.
"Boom... Boom…"
Massive slashes collided with the ground, creating deep, gaping chasms across the island, making those watching tremble with fear.
"Bang!!"
The next moment, El's eyes flashed. His foot slammed into the ground, and he disappeared, reappearing right in front of Linlin. Without warning, he drove his fist into her abdomen.
But even as she flew backward from the impact, Linlin grinned wickedly, her voice dripping with violence. "It's useless… Your attacks can't hurt me. I'm immortal!"
With a laugh, her body exploded once again.
"Whoosh…" A swarm of blood-red bats flew into the air, regrouping a short distance away to reform her body.
"Flowing Blood!" Linlin's claws dripped with blood, which morphed into a sharp, deadly blade.
Her aura brimming with murderous intent, Linlin glared at El. "Elbaf's Spear—"
Her blood blade, glowing with crimson energy, surged forward with immense force.
"Mighty Nation!"
"Boom!"
A terrifying column of energy tore through the atmosphere, streaking toward El.
"Hero's Spear!!"
El's expression remained calm. His right fist clenched, veins bulging as he prepared to counter the blow.
"Boom… Boom…"

Chương 54: Chapter 54: Linlin Eating Disorder
Boom!!! A thunderous roar.
A blinding white light.
Impossible to look at directly.
In the disbelieving eyes of the twisted, bloodthirsty Linlin, a terrifying cylindrical wave of sword energy was mercilessly crushed by El's wild Hero's Spear.
It struck her directly.
"Boom..." Her entire body exploded, turning into countless vampire bats.
However, El's eyes sharpened.
"Heavenly Net!!"
"Swoosh… swoosh…"
In the next moment, countless vines shot into the sky, intertwining tightly, forming an impenetrable net with holes too small to see.
Moreover, the net was covered in powerful high-level Armament Haki, making it incomparably tough.
It closed in from all directions, binding them tightly.
"Crackle…"
In an instant, El's entire body was wrapped in flashing electricity. A massive current surged from the vines beneath his feet, continuously flowing out. The densely interwoven vine net instantly transformed into an unimaginably high-voltage electric grid.
The tough and firm vine net not only tightened further, but the already narrow space was continuously compressed.
"Flap... flap..."
"Crack… crack..."
Fierce vampire bats with sharp fangs, impervious to blades and bullets, flapped their wings violently, trying to tear apart the vines. Sparks flew from the electric net, creating a horrifying sight, and sharp screeches filled the air.
Yet, the vines, wrapped in Haki, were unbelievably resilient. No matter how hard the bats, capable of biting through steel, struggled, they couldn't break free.
"Where is it? Caramel puff tower~~~"
The bats gathered by the hundreds and thousands, and Linlin returned to human form. This level of electricity was naturally not enough to threaten her—a being born a monster. But no matter how much her incredible strength raged, she still couldn't tear apart the vine net wrapped in Haki.
Especially since hidden within the vines were several pairs of Seastone Cuffs, tightly intertwined. These specialized restraints, emitting an ocean-like energy, rendered Devil Fruit users unable to use their abilities. Though they weren't fully bound on her, they pressed heavily against her, sapping her strength and preventing her from using her Devil Fruit powers.
"Damn it, is it Seastone?" she screamed hysterically, struggling violently. "Bastard, let me go!!"
Immediately afterward, the massive vines dragged her along.
Pulled directly into the sea.
"Splaaash..."
Without her Devil Fruit powers and in direct contact with high-purity Seastone, even at a fraction of her peak strength, Linlin, now immersed in seawater, was unable to tear apart the net. As a Devil Fruit user, she became completely powerless.
"Blurble..."
Seawater poured into her nose and mouth.
As time passed, her eyes rolled back as she began to drown.
No one knew how long it took, but when El pulled her out of the water, she had lost consciousness, completely fainting.
She could struggle no more.
"Boss El-sama—"
Seeing El subdue the frenzied Linlin, the members of the Fallen Angel Pirate Crew rushed over, their gazes filled with indescribable awe and reverence.
If Linlin was a monster, then the person before them was a true monster among monsters. His strength was unfathomable, and no one knew how far his limits reached.
Looking at the unconscious Linlin, the vines began to retract, and the Armament Haki wrapped around them dissipated. El stepped forward and crouched down, gently pressing his right hand against her slightly swollen abdomen.
"Ugh... ugh..." Even in her unconscious state, she instinctively coughed, spitting out a large amount of seawater.
Seeing that she showed no signs of waking, El raised his eyebrows but did not force her to awaken. Instead, he asked in displeasure, "What happened? Why didn't you put the Seastone handcuffs on her beforehand?"
Logically, even if her eating disorder was inevitable, Linlin should have been able to maintain her composure for a short time and control herself. With her personality, she would have immediately asked for the handcuffs to be placed on her, which would have prevented her from using the powers of her Mythical Zoan-type Vampire form to cause havoc.
Even if she lost control, her immense strength would have allowed her to gauge that the chains weren't made of Seastone. But at least it would have minimized damage and casualties.
"No, we did plan to put them on her at first, and it was Linlin herself who requested it…"
Rok, a member of the Longleg Tribe, explained helplessly, "But the kids in the Dream House were too young, and they were scared by Linlin's biting, so they didn't dare get close and couldn't put the handcuffs on in time…"
"By the time I and the other Fallen Angel Pirates, who were training on the other side of the island, realized something was wrong and rushed over with the handcuffs, it was already too late…"
"At that point, Linlin was barely holding onto her sanity but was starting to lose control of her destructive urges."
They weren't making excuses. Just as the Fish-man Jien, who wasn't a Devil Fruit user and could touch Seastone, arrived with a large pair of handcuffs for Linlin, she suddenly snapped.
Had Jien not reacted quickly and used his honed Observation Haki to sense the danger and retreat instantly, he would have been seriously injured by one of Linlin's immensely powerful punches.
"I'm terribly sorry, Boss El. I couldn't even handle this small matter!"
To them, El was like a father or older brother—someone they respected and were grateful to from the bottom of their hearts. He had saved them from the poisonous nun and the World Government when they were helpless, abandoned children, left to be slaughtered or sold like lambs.
When the Giants refused to let them stay in Elbaf any longer, he took them in, teaching them how to read and write, training them in combat and Haki. Although he put them through rigorous training, he never mistreated them in their daily lives—they were well-fed, well-housed, and had plenty of fun.
Every child in the former Sheep's House cherished fond memories of their childhood and saw each other as siblings, not just bearers of scars and tears. Their current strength and ability to change their own fate were all thanks to El.
How could they not be grateful?
"Never mind. At least there were no irreversible losses or casualties... Learn from this and be more careful next time!"
El frowned but didn't pursue the matter further. The new kids in the Dream House were not like Rock, Moss, and Jien, who had grown up with Linlin. They were understandably frightened by her frenzy, unable to approach her.
Even Moss and the others feared the out-of-control Linlin, but as they matured, they suppressed that fear as much as they could.
Before the children from the original Sheep's House had grown up, he had always made sure Linlin wore Seastone handcuffs when her eating disorder flared up. At times, for safety's sake, she would wear them for one or two months straight. Over time, Linlin had developed a strong resistance to Seastone, so even without her Devil Fruit powers, her raw strength was terrifying.
This time, however, her eating disorder had flared up too suddenly, in an unusually erratic manner.
"El/Boss—"
"El Onii-chan!!"
At that moment, far in the sky, Moss, in the form of a Pelagornis bird, flapped his wings and approached. Behind him were Lily, Witt, and Gerd.
Witt and Gerd rode atop Zeus, the thundercloud, a bit behind, while Lily sat astride a massive black leopard with black wings and sharp fangs, which flew toward them. This was El's gift to her—an enormous black hawk empowered with the Black Leopard Zoan-type Fruit. Whether on land or in the sky, it possessed incredible speed and strength. Moreover, it could combine with Lily, the Pile-Pile Fruit user.
"Gerd, you've arrived..."
As the group gathered, El nodded slightly.
"Is Linlin okay?"
Looking at the soaking wet and unconscious Linlin, even though she knew Linlin was a natural-born monster, difficult to hurt, Gerd couldn't help but ask out of concern.
"Don't worry, she's fine..." El shook his head and said to Gerd, "Please take her back to her room, help her clean up, and change her clothes."
"Got it, leave it to me!"
Gerd nodded gently. As a giantess, she easily picked up the now unconscious Linlin, whose height exceeded seven meters.
"Although the cycle of her eating disorder's flare-ups isn't short, it seems unpredictable and irregular, making it impossible to foresee…"
El sighed, "To prevent any accidents, until she can completely suppress and overcome her eating disorder with her willpower, she may need to carry Seastone with her at all times."
Of course, that meant carrying it, not constantly wearing it. That way, if her eating disorder flared up unexpectedly, Linlin, who could now maintain rationality for a short period, could put the handcuffs on herself.
Better safe than sorry.
