Chapter 38 War (Part 2)
The reason why Bree made this decision was because of lessons learned from past experiences.
When Katakuri was dueling with someone in the mirror world, she couldn't help but curious and went in to watch the battle.
Originally, her brother had a sure chance of victory, but her intervention gave her opponent a chance to avoid the enemy's attack. The kidnapped Bree became the opponent's tool for freely traveling through the mirror world, making it impossible for Katakuri to pursue the victory. Until later, even more... The opponent turned defeat into victory.
His undefeated record ended here, and Bree felt deeply guilty every time he thought about it.
Bree smiled at this time and said: "Brother and sister, we must have confidence in Katakuri-nii!"
Irving and Compert also smiled, obviously quite reassured by his strength.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden noise from the crowd in the castle, and the three people immediately went in to check.
I saw two Charlotte family children lying on the ground injured, with two hideous blood marks on their bodies.
Seeing the miserable condition of his younger siblings, Owen was shocked and angry. He looked around and asked, "What's going on? Who did this!"
Compert even hurriedly shouted: "Where is the ship's doctor? Take them for treatment quickly!"
Mondor pointed at L'Aquila angrily and said, "Brother, it was him who did it! Just now Nuge and Fuomege suddenly attacked, and he was seriously injured by him!"
Owen first glanced at L'Aquila, who was still silent, and then asked his younger brother and sister who fell to the ground and wailed in pain: "Why don't you listen to your brother and take action without permission? Didn't you tell me not to act rashly?"
The 41st son of the Charlotte family, Nuge gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Owen, among the outposts he killed were my close friends. I was so angry for a moment...but I never thought that it would harm Fuyume." Ge, I’m sorry!”
The 34th girl, Fuyomege, said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, brother! I couldn't stop him!"
Owen had completely understood that the cause of the incident was that Nuge wanted to take revenge, and Fumage wanted to step forward to stop him. As a result, both of them were seriously injured by Laquilla.
He was very aware of the strength gap between his younger brother and sister and the other party. The other party could have killed them, but he didn't. He had already taken into account the face of the Charlotte family and showed mercy.
However, even though it was his own people who took action first, when had their family ever suffered from such anger? Not even Beasts Pirates!
Owen clenched his fists. After a moment of silence, he first comforted his brothers and sisters, and then had people help them down for treatment.
He then turned around and stared at the man with an unkind expression.
L'Aquila was still sitting cross-legged by the mirror at this moment, unmoved, as if nothing happened just now.
Compert, who was on the side, saw that his brother was looking wrong, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Owen, don't mess around, wait until Katakuri comes out!"
Owen's body 5 meters away still stepped forward and said, "Sister, don't worry about this! I'll take the responsibility if anything happens!"
Seeing that they could not stop him, Compert and others could only quickly evacuate the surrounding family members.
At this time, L'Aquila finally raised her head and looked at him coldly, but still made no move.
Owen's arms emitted a terrifying high-temperature red light. As he approached, he said, "I don't care if you are really mute or just pretending to be stupid. If you hurt someone in our family, you have to pay the price!"
He is the pyromaniac of Paramecia's Heat Fruit, which can release extremely high heat to burn his opponents and even melt any matter close to him. Although there is only a reward of 300 million, the threat he presents is not low at all.
The moment the fiery attack approached, L'Aquila's figure disappeared directly on the spot, and the ground was immediately baked and melted to create a large hole.
Owen looked up and saw that the other party had turned his arms into wings, waving them and floating in the air, looking down at him coldly.
L'Aquila glanced at the mirror on the ground.
That was the place where Jhin had told him to wait, and it couldn't be destroyed.
He frowned, immediately flapped his wings, and suddenly accelerated towards the outside of the castle.
Owen is also concerned about the damage to the Cake Castle at this moment. Although their country has many capable ministers who can quickly repair the building, this castle symbolizes the glory of the Charlotte family. If the damage is too great, it will also harm their face.
Previously, the Straw Hat Crew had a big wedding tea party, causing the entire castle to collapse into ruins. Not only did the reconstruction consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but it also became a great shame for their pirate group.
Therefore, Charlotte. Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, went to Wanokuni to hunt down the Straw Hats at all costs.
At this time, L'Aquila's escape played into his hands, and he immediately pursued her at full speed.
After running to the central street of the island, Owen saw the man standing on the roof waiting for him.
This feeling of being fooled made him even more irritated. Affected by his own Heat Fruit ability, his eyes were on fire at this moment.
"Hot Wind Fist!"
The high-temperature fist that glowed red was punched out violently, causing the surrounding air to instantly distort, and the scorching waves of fist wind immediately swept towards the target.
With a dull roar, half of the tall building made of cream cake exploded, and it was still melting.
But L'Aquila still avoided the attack instantly before it hit.
Owen scolded angrily: "You are a mute who has no courage, he will bully the younger ones, don't you dare to fight me head-on?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the figure that was constantly hovering in the sky swooped down towards him at high speed.
Owen was also startled, and then sneered: "You're here just in time, look at me roasting you, a bird!"
With a low roar, the Rehot Fruit's power was fully activated, and the whole body radiated a terrifying high-temperature red light. The surrounding buildings were affected and began to melt.
However, for such a monster that was impossible to get even close to, the next moment it was directly kicked and ejected by the winged figure, crashing through and melting several buildings one after another.
At this moment, Aquila's arms turned into wings, her feet turned into sharp and huge hooks, and her head and torso were still human, exactly like the human-animal form of the flying Zoan Devil Fruit.
In the moment just now, he hardened his claws with the powerful Armament Haki and knocked the opponent away with one blow. Although he was not injured, the opponent's high temperature ability still caused white smoke to emit from his claws.
L'Aquila couldn't help but frown, obviously this tricky ability already made him feel threatened.
Owen, who underestimated the opponent's strength and courage, now paid the price for his carelessness and made a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Although he was not seriously injured, he was extremely ashamed and angry when he fell in the ruins. He stood up again and rushed forward, but he had already put away his previous contempt.
The two men re-evaluated each other's strength and charged in unison.
The blazing fist and the black claws collided again, and the scorching air waves and Haki's impact immediately spread out, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse and melt one after another.
