Jarul's words even made the giant warriors present a bit tense.
"How could the Marine and pirates be in cahoots?"
"Perhaps Jarul-sama is confused again!"
"Hey! I actually think it's possible."
A group of Giants conversed in low voices. Finally, Raideen, Hajrudin's master, stepped forward and replied to Kenji, "I don't know why you Marines came to Elbaph. We have never requested Marine help."
"We will resolve Elbaph's issues ourselves!"
"Now, please leave our kingdom immediately!"
By the end of his speech, Raideen's eyes had turned sharp, and the other giant warriors also picked up their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had turned around, intently watching the Marine. To be precise, her gaze was fixed solely on Kenji.
"Is that young brat… a Giant?" Charlotte asked, her eyes filled with desire and a wide smile on her face.
"I really like you. How about… I capture you to be my husband!"
"If I can't achieve my goal this time, capturing a Giant brat to be my husband wouldn't be bad either!"
Charlotte's eyes gradually lit up. The more she thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
"Since the Giants won't join my Totto Land, I'll just give birth to them myself!!"
As she spoke, her children successively turned their heads to look in Kenji's direction.
The oldest among them was no more than 18, while the youngest was still wearing a diaper. What was most peculiar was that these individuals varied in their ethnic appearances.
And when they were together, they formed the very famous Charlotte Family in the New World.
"Mama! That Marine seems to be an Admiral." Perospero extended his long tongue and reminded her.
Beside him, Katakuri narrowed his eyes, his gaze fierce, and said in a deep voice, "Hmph! If the opponent is a Marine Admiral, it might be a bit tough."
At this moment, Oven, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to remind them, "I remember now, that Shirojishi was just promoted to Marine Admiral this year. His real name is Kenji. Rumor has it that he seriously injured the Legendary Pirate Roger not long ago."
"Kenji?"
Hearing this name, the Charlotte Family members didn't react much, but the rumor of "seriously injuring Roger" behind it caused a drastic change in their expressions.
The formidable reputation of the Legendary Pirate was too overwhelming for those living in the New World. They were the kind of ruthless people who could stop 'children's night crying'.
However, Charlotte didn't pay much attention to those achievements. Instead, she was rather interested in the name itself.
"Kenji? Is that the old Marine Vice Admiral from God Valley back then? He's actually become young again!"
Her eyes gleamed as she stared at Kenji's youthful face, her bright red lips almost drooling.
"Such a youthful appearance… You must be a special race that disappeared in the long river of history?!"
"I must capture you and make you my husband!"
On the Marine side, everyone's expressions varied upon hearing Charlotte's words.
"Oh my~ Kenji-san, that Pirate, Charlotte Linlin, seems to have taken a liking to you~!" Kuzan interjected, winking and looking quite eager to 'watch the show'.
"This brat." Kenji glanced at Kuzan out of the corner of his eye, sneered, and raised a hand to point at Charlotte opposite him.
"Kuzan, you go first and test her strength."
"Heh, perfect." Kuzan showed no fear. Instead, he rubbed his hands with some excitement, his expression expectant.
"I'm quite curious to see what level these so-called famous pirates of the New World are at."
As he spoke, he stood up and moved to stand beside Sakazuki and Magellan.
Beside him, Magellan wore a Marine officer's coat, with faint poison mist subtly flowing around him.
Sakazuki remained silent, merely reaching for the hilt of the sword on his back.
"Get out of the way, brats!" Charlotte frowned and coldly shouted at Kuzan and the others.
"Don't get in the way here!"
As she spoke, she reached up and took off the pirate bicorne hat on her head, holding it in her hand. The hat quickly transformed into a massive greatsword.
One of the strongest Homies created by the Soul-Soul Fruit ability, named Napoleon.
The next moment, Charlotte raised her blade, and at the same time, Kuzan and Sakazuki from the opposing Marine ranks suddenly stood up and launched their attack.
Magellan, due to his unique poisonous physique, did not charge forward with them, otherwise, he might accidentally injure his teammates.
Clang!
Sakazuki drew his longsword while running, and high-intensity Armament Haki quickly enveloped and strengthened the blade.
At the same time, Kuzan's raised fist was rapidly reinforced by Armament Haki, turning black.
Though it was their first time working together, they showed great tacit understanding, attacking from left and right, with their strikes arriving almost simultaneously.
"I told you, don't get in the way!" Charlotte sneered, gripping the sword hilt with one hand, and unleashed a powerful slash with her terrifying monstrous strength.
Rip!
The air instantly tore open with a sharp mark, and a powerful slash swept out in a crescent shape.
She didn't use any techniques or moves. Her monstrous strength indeed didn't require any sword moves.
The pure power unleashed a domineering slash, instantly colliding with Kuzan and Sakazuki.
Even though both had used Armament Haki, they were still breached by this slash, and blood spurted from their bodies.
The immense impact accompanying the slash sent them flying backward heavily.
However, their strength was not weak after all, and their injuries were not severe. They managed to forcibly stabilize their bodies in mid-air, performed a backflip, and landed on the ground, their feet dragging along the ground for a long distance due to inertia before they finally stopped.
"Hmm, is this the strength of a former Rocks Pirates cadre? Heh, it's truly terrifying!"
Kuzan raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Dragging his feet along the ground had made them almost burn.
On the other side, Sakazuki was also not feeling well, but he had blocked most of the slash, so his injuries were lighter than Kuzan's.
After both wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, they simultaneously stood up again and charged towards Charlotte.
However, at this moment, four figures rushed out from the Charlotte Family, blocking Sakazuki and Kuzan.
"You are not allowed to disturb Mama's fun!"
"Don't make Mama angry!"
Katakuri and Perospero stood in front of Sakazuki, while Daifuku and Oven blocked Kuzan.
"Heh heh, two against one? As expected of pirates, so unscrupulous!" Kuzan sneered and swung his fist.
At the same time, in the center of the battlefield, Charlotte, now unhindered, finally reached Kenji.
While running, she held Napoleon in one hand and reached out to grab Kenji with the other, her eyes full of greed.
"You're mine!"
