The heavy punch was as mighty as a mountain, enveloped in Conqueror's Haki Haki. The mere force of the punch instantly shattered the slash arriving horizontally towards him.
Charlotte, holding the combined Napoleon, Zeus, and Prometheus, stomped her feet on the ground, causing an explosive sound.
In an instant, her figure moved like lightning, her entire body surging with dark red Haki as she charged forward.
Mid-way, she gripped the maser saber with both hands, bringing down the lightning-and-fire-infused blade in a dominating posture.
In contrast, Kenji was unhurried, his stance steady, his heavy punch unmoving like a mountain, yet the Conqueror's Haki around his fist was so dense it was almost tangible.
Boom!
A silent thunderclap.
Kenji's Conqueror's Haki-infused heavy punch and Maser Saber clashed in the air, instantly causing the air and even space to emit a groaning sound from the unbearable pressure.
Thick Haki traces appeared out of nowhere around the center of the battle, their explosive trajectories resembling cracks tearing open in space.
Invisibly, two terrifying energies continuously confronted and collided.
However, as time passed, Kenji's dark red power advanced step by step at a visible speed, rapidly pressing towards Charlotte's chest.
"Impossible, how could I..." Charlotte watched the rapidly approaching punch with wide, incredulous eyes.
At this moment, her emotions were so agitated that the sound of blood rushing through her body was clearly audible.
Under the extreme pressure of power, Charlotte genuinely felt a strong sense of danger.
Just then, Kenji swung his left hand, continuously using Conqueror's Haki Emission.
Streams of dangerous energy, wrapped in dark red light, deftly curved in the air, rushing towards Charlotte from the sides and even from behind.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The Conqueror's Haki Haki moved incredibly fast, hitting its target in an instant, and Charlotte's body vibrated continuously.
More than ten consecutive streams of Conqueror's Haki struck Charlotte's body.
Her graceful body was struck by the immense force as if she were a rubber person, various parts of her body bulging high and then quickly contracting.
When the muffled sounds ceased, Charlotte's angry eyes were left with only white pupils, but she remained furious.
Under the stimulation of immense danger and extreme rage, she unconsciously roared out the strongest sound of her life.
Boom!
The terrifying sound instantly materialized, its waves sweeping across the ground in all directions with power far exceeding a hurricane.
At this moment, large, hard rocks seemed like tofu blocks before the sound, rapidly shattering and disintegrating, swept into the sky by the impact of the sound waves.
The ground, based on the Adam tree branches, showed signs of disintegration in an instant. Those branches that had existed for countless years were broken by the sound waves.
The entire Sun World began to shake, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was an earthquake or if the Sun World was about to be destroyed.
At the center of the battlefield, Kenji unleashed a heavy punch, forcefully enduring the impact wave of the sound. With the enhancement of Sea Beast Power, he violently struck Charlotte's chest.
Bang!
The immense force caused Charlotte's back to bulge high, and cracks appeared on the surface of her chest skin.
The powerful defense of Steel Balloon was almost punched through by Kenji. Beneath the cracked skin, one could even see blood vessels and flowing blood, as well as the beating heart and other organs beneath the flesh.
"Ugh, cough!"
Charlotte, in an unconscious state, let out a painful sound, her entire body flying high and then falling rapidly in a parabolic arc.
Zzzzt!
Endless Haki spread throughout the entire battlefield, its thunderous might shattering everything.
In a short time, the lush trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers outside the Giant village were completely overturned, no longer a scene of vibrant life.
Bang!
A dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground came from where the Haki intertwined in the distance, and Charlotte's landing spot created a deep crater.
This time, Charlotte was bleeding all over, falling into a deep unconsciousness.
"Mama!" Katakuri was the first to notice the change in the battlefield situation.
When Charlotte fell to the ground, Katakuri had already arrived nearby and then forcefully charged into the battlefield, enduring the dense Haki.
At this moment, the Charlotte Family members gradually recovered from their shock, and after realizing what happened, they all got up and ran over.
The Marine surrounding them also moved forward at this moment, tightening their encirclement under the leadership of Sakazuki and Magellan.
As for Kuzan, after being sent flying by Charlotte's attack at the very beginning, he became much more subdued, but he was also advancing with the troops now.
However, compared to the 'activity' of the Marine and the Charlotte Family, the Giant warriors, as the local hosts, appeared exceptionally quiet.
They did not expect the destructive power of the 'Evil God' Charlotte to far exceed expectations, nor did they expect that any human could withstand the 'Evil God' Charlotte, and even less did they expect the battle to end so suddenly.
However, at this moment, most of the Giants present had only one thought.
"The battle is over, so the village won't be destroyed, right?"
They were very angry about the Marine and the Charlotte Family fighting in Elbaph and causing extensive destruction.
However, after witnessing Kenji and Charlotte's power, the Giants, who were known for being impulsive and irritable, suddenly felt it was time to change their temper and act more prudently.
So now, even seeing Charlotte fall to the ground and the battle seemingly entering its end, they did not act rashly.
After all, someone who could defeat Charlotte, whom they regarded as the 'Evil God,' deserved to be treated with caution.
"In any case, let's wait for King Harald to arrive and let him handle it."
"Hmm, why isn't King Harald here yet?"
"He should be coming soon, the prince just sent word..."
"That cursed prince?"
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"
The Giants were in complete agreement at this moment, eagerly waiting for their King to arrive with the strongest RoyalGuard.
Meanwhile, Kenji was too lazy to pay attention to the reactions of the people outside. He did not target the Charlotte Family members again, leaving his subordinates to deal with them.
At this moment, he was staring at the system interface that had appeared before him, carefully checking the mission completion notification.
[You have successfully subjugated the Charlotte Family's strongest combatant - Charlotte. The Big Mom Pirates, having lost its Captain, is no longer a threat! Your righteous action has shaken the Giants, and it is foreseeable that the Giants will change their attitude towards you!]
[Mission (Main): Resolve the conflict and make Charlotte leave! —Completed!]
[Reward: 2 Random Major Upgrades! (2 independent advancements)]
[Reward being distributed...]
"It's already complete?" Kenji raised an eyebrow after reading the first half of the notification, a surprised expression on his face.
"It seems that the focus of this mission system's judgment is mostly on Charlotte ."
