Among the three kinds of Haki, only Armament Haki is his weakness, and he has to overcome it.
Thinking of this, Charlotte hardened his heart.
He activated Observation Haki on a large scale, covering the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
He immediately spotted his subordinates.
"Come on! If you finish coating the ships today, each of you will get one million berries!"
Paul couldn't help but urge the group of people behind him.
They had been told by Charlotte to supervise the ship - coaters and make them finish the coating today.
After all, Charlotte couldn't hold on for long.
The later they evacuated, the more danger Charlotte would be in, which made Paul extremely anxious.
Paul didn't believe that his boss could fight against an Admiral.
At this time, Admirals were considered invincible in the eyes of these people. This is why the Navy has such great prestige in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, and it is also the most powerful violent institution in the hands of the World Government.
Paul could clearly see the split sky in the distance and hear the explosions, the sound of swords cutting through the air, and the waves of the sea. At the same time, he was worried about his boss.
Elena was standing at the bow of the ship where Charlotte often stood, with her hands clasped in prayer. This was the first time she had prayed so sincerely for someone, and it was for a man who had forced her, a man she both disliked and worried about.
In the past two months, Elena realized that suicide would lead to the death of both herself and the two - month - old baby in her belly. She didn't want her baby, who hadn't even seen the world, to be fatherless at birth or to die with her, a useless mother.
"Baby! Let's pray for your father together!" Elena murmured, then looked at the battle in the distance with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Your father is a capable man!" Elena said silently to herself.
"Charlotte! Surrender now!" Kong, covered in blood, looked at Charlotte, and his body couldn't help but sway.
Charlotte was kneeling on one knee, with his Seven - Star Sword stuck in the ground, looking at Kong. His eyes were almost closing, but he still stared at Kong.
"Surrender? That ain't my style!"
Charlotte propped himself up and stood up shakily again.
They had been fighting for half a day, and half of Island No. 1 had been destroyed. The tree trunks on it had long been shattered into pieces. The entire Island No. 1 was bare, with no intact buildings.
Looking at the strange and demonic qi emanating from Charlotte, Kong's expression changed slightly. This qi was so strange that it seemed to be able to affect people's minds. Kong thought to himself. Then he quickly shook his head, got rid of the thought in his mind, and focused on looking at Charlotte.
Looking at Charlotte's upright figure, an air of arrogance filled the world. He was like a giant pillar supporting the sky. This made Kong feel a bit sorry for this young man. He knew exactly how Charlotte had become a pirate.
Kong also knew the reason why the Five Elders had summoned him to the Sabaody Archipelago this time.
Just because Charlotte had destroyed the Celestial Dragons' auction house, they were going to dispatch an Admiral to arrest him.
This reason might seem extremely absurd to outsiders.
But Kong knew very well that one of his responsibilities as an Admiral was to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons.
Even the safety of their property counted as safety.
What a pity!
Kong looked at Charlotte with a complicated gaze.
Then, his fist was covered with an extremely dense layer of Armament Haki.
Steel Bone Wild Strike!
Kong took a swift step forward and rushed in front of Charlotte.
With Charlotte only able to defend passively, more than a dozen fist shadows landed on his chest in an instant.
Bang!
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
The last punch.
Suddenly, Kong's eyes popped wide open, and he released his Conqueror's Haki again. His fist, entwined with extremely dense Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki and coiled with crimson lightning, fiercely hammered towards Charlotte's heart.
Charlotte had been responding in a passive way.
Suddenly, a picture flashed across his mind.
He saw himself being punched through the chest.
The threat of death made Charlotte's pupils constrict.
"Ah!"
Charlotte gritted his teeth tightly, and the veins on his neck bulged.
He had to block it, he must block it.
Conqueror's Haki erupted from Charlotte once again.
The Seven - Star Sword was wrapped with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and red - green lightning coiled around its blade.
Charlotte didn't have time to attack and could only hold the sword horizontally in front of his chest.
Clang!
The fist and the Seven - Star Sword clashed in the air.
The fist and the sword didn't actually touch each other.
A powerful energy formed between the fist and the sword.
With the continuous addition of power from both of them, the huge energy kept growing.
Finally!
Bang!
Both of them were sent flying backward.
The huge energy took Kong by surprise.
After stabilizing his figure, he quickly looked towards Charlotte.
He only saw Charlotte flying backward, with a hint of a smile on his face.
Although he was black and blue, it was still obvious that he was mocking Kong.
This made Kong slightly stunned. He didn't know why Charlotte was still smiling at this moment.
But the next moment.
"Charlotte～!"
Kong roared furiously.
He saw that there was a ship parked where Charlotte was flying towards.
Kong didn't need to use Observation Haki to know that it was Charlotte's ship.
He saw that the ship had already been coated with resin, and they had caught Charlotte's flying figure.
Then the ship quickly sank into the sea.
This made Kong extremely furious.
He was about to arrest Charlotte, but unexpectedly, his momentary mistake had created an opportunity for Charlotte to escape.
Kong's anger had nowhere to vent.
Helplessly watching Charlotte being taken into the ship and slowly sinking into the sea, Kong felt powerless.
If he weren't injured, he wouldn't hesitate for a second and would dive into the sea right away, but now...
He looked at the sword wounds on his body.
He gave up. Moreover, it was too late to chase at this time.
"Sigh!"
Kong took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his anger, and walked towards the battered fleet.
He brought ten naval warships. In a single encounter, five were gone, and the other five were also damaged to varying degrees and could no longer sail.
Looking at the rescued wounded, veins popped out on Kong's forehead.
Bang!
Kong, having no place to vent his qi, punched the air.
It made the air explode with a series of bangs.
"Call it off! Have Navy Headquarters send out medical ships to treat the wounded."
Kong said angrily.
Everyone could feel the Admiral's rage, and they silently carried out his order.
"Amazing! Truly amazing!"
Morgan sat in the editor - in - chief's office, looking at the pictures and videos sent by the newspaper - selling seagulls and said.
Once Morgan discovered the battle between the Admiral and Charlotte, he immediately sent out his best newspaper - selling seagulls.
At a high altitude, several newspaper - selling seagulls took pictures with one 'claw' and recorded videos with the other, perfectly capturing the battle between Admiral Kong and The Great Blood - Sword Hero Charlotte.
