Meanwhile, in the West Blue...
"Ikoku Sovereignty!"
Charlotte Linlin let out a terrifying, maniacal laugh while swinging her large sword at Ian.
Facing that fearsome aura, Ian did not hesitate. He raised his golden axe, twisted his upper body in an instant, and swung with oppressive force at Charlotte Linlin.
"Hakoku Sovereignty!"
Charlotte Linlin: "...?!"
Seeing this move, Charlotte Linlin was taken aback.
The two giant techniques appeared simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, Ian's axe, Rhitta, collided violently with Charlotte Linlin's sword, Napoleon.
The golden flying slash met the purple flying slash, and instantly, a tremendous shockwave erupted like a rainbow piercing the sun.
Waves surged wherever they passed, forcing Big Mom Pirates officers and Enel to step back.
Especially the Big Mom Pirates, who stared in disbelief while trembling. "Th-this guy's strength... can go head-to-head with Mama?"
"Mama-hahaha."
After the powerful shockwave dissipated, Charlotte Linlin did not launch another attack.
Instead, she looked at Ian with delight: "You actually know the ultimate technique of Elbaph? And you successfully used it! It makes me so happy."
She scanned Ian from head to toe while grinning, her voice full of excitement as she licked her lips: "I have decided! I will marry you. My daughter is not worthy of you. As long as you have children with me, I believe our child will dominate the entire sea."
Ian: "..."
Is this person out of her mind?
At a time like this, she's still thinking about having children?
Ian stared at Charlotte Linlin with a blackened expression, especially feeling uncomfortable under her strange gaze.
Even under the sunlight, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Hahaha!"
Nearby, Enel, seeing this scene, burst into laughter, his eyes were filled with pleasure at Ian's misfortune: "Why don't you just agree! This could form a close alliance between you and this guy..."
Before Enel could finish, the frowning Ian swung his axe at him, sending a flying slash toward Enel, who quickly dodged: "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Don't worry."
Seeing this scene, Charlotte Linlin smiled happily: "I will marry both of you!"
Enel and Ian: "..."
Enel and Ian both looked at this clueless fool with darkened expressions.
"Forget it!"
Ian raised his axe while looking at Charlotte Linlin, still immersed in her own world: "Sorry, like him, I'm not interested in ugly fat women!"
These words instantly changed Charlotte Linlin's previously happy expression to one of fury.
Flames of anger radiated from her body as she glared at Ian: "You bastard!"
As her words fell, the enraged Charlotte Linlin did not hesitate. She stepped on the thundercloud Zeus, lifted her sword, Napoleon, and was surrounded by the sun, Prometheus.
At this moment, all the Homies she had created mirrored their owner's ferocious expressions.
Lightning and flames entwined.
Seeing this, Enel's expression became serious, especially as he saw the thundercloud flickering with lightning, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Thunder Bolt!"
A thick purple lightning bolt, accompanied by Charlotte Linlin's voice, struck the place where Ian floated.
Without hesitation, Ian moved like a dazzling golden light toward the lightning overhead.
Golden light shimmered around his body, his axe tracing a golden arc over the sea.
"Guillotine!"
Instantly, golden light fell from the sky, instantly breaking through Charlotte Linlin's thunderbolt.
Then Ian shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, without stopping. His golden axe, like a ball of solar fire, swung straight toward Charlotte Linlin's forehead.
But as an Emperor of the Sea, Charlotte Linlin was not someone to be defeated so easily.
Charlotte Linlin roared to the sky. Prometheus, behind her, seemed to hear its owner's roar and instantly expanded.
A massive fireball, as huge as the sun, shot toward Ian.
"Heavenly Bon-Bons!"
Yet Ian did not retreat in the slightest. He charged straight into the fireball.
The instant he collided with the fireball, a violent explosion erupted, causing the Big Mom Pirates' officers watching from afar to reveal surprised expressions.
Did he win?
However, how could a fireball made of normal flames compare to Ian's solar fire?
Before the flames from the fireball dissipated, a figure suddenly burst out from within; it was none other than Ian, the boss of the Umbrella Corporation.
At this moment, his entire body burned with solar fire. His gaze was like a torch, his hair turned into a corona as he entered his strongest state: the God of Sun Form.
Sunlight from the heavens condensed around him. At this moment, the sun in the sky and the sun on the sea seemed to shine together.
His muscles bulged, and his every step was steady despite floating midair. He exuded an overwhelming presence, making all those watching tremble slightly.
Gazing at the figure standing under the sun's rays, a thought arose in their minds.
[God of Sun!]
At this moment, they finally understood why he was called the God of the Sun.
Ian ignored them. Bathed in flames and sunlight, his eyes burned with solar fire as he quickly pinpointed Charlotte Linlin's position.
His right hand decisively raised the golden axe while his muscles bulged again. The torn clothes were instantly reduced to ashes by the surrounding flames.
The next moment, he was directly in front of Charlotte Linlin.
The golden axe, already raised high, began to descend.
"Ikoku Sovereignt!"
Seeing this sudden change, Charlotte Linlin's expression stiffened, and then a mad smile spread across her face.
In that brief encounter, she understood... the rumors were true.
This guy really has the ability to defeat an Admiral head-on!
At this moment, she did not dare to be careless.
Lightning!
Flames!
Sword!
The three were combined.
Energy rings gathered on the sword. The giant sword, infused with lightning and flames, descended upon Ian with earth-shattering momentum.
"Shining Sword!"
Even before the axe and giant sword collided, the two terrifying energies had already made contact.
In an instant, the sea surged, and giant waves roared.
Wind, water, fire, and lightning intertwined.
At this moment, the axe and giant blade clashed.
The energy erupted uncontrollably. In an instant, centered on the two, the devastating power radiated outward.
Shocked and terrified expressions appeared on the faces of those around.
Enel, quickly regaining his senses, let out a curse and immediately transformed into lightning to retreat.
The Big Mom Pirates' officers did the same.
Katakuri, as the second son, immediately recovered and issued a command to retreat.
