One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 352 Yamato Unleashes His Power

"Uh?"

Charlotte Cardant's expression suddenly changed slightly. Although he had considerable skill in Armament Haki, his Observation Haki had also been awakened long ago.

Therefore, Runti's every move was detected by him. Naturally, he also knew that Runti had already launched an attack on him.

At this moment, he faced two choices: either immediately withdraw his fist aimed at Pagevan and then quickly take counter-attack, defense, or evasion actions; or withstand Runti's attack without flinching and do everything in his power to hit Pagevan.

As the spiked club grew larger and larger in her eyes, Charlotte Cardantz finally decided to back down.

After all, the current situation is far from requiring him to risk his life. He is not willing to do something that would be a losing proposition—getting hit in return for a punch.

The instant Charlotte Cardantz made her decision, Runti's spiked club struck like lightning. However, Charlotte Cardantz dodged the fatal blow with a nimble movement.

At the same time, Charlotte Contender and Page Van Ness both roared in unison, "Drink!"

The roar seemed to be the concentrated burst of their full power. In an instant, both of them raised their power to the limit, reaching one hundred percent.

The immense recoil reverberated between the two, causing them to be thrown backward once more. However, this time the situation was different. Page Van only took two or three steps back before regaining his balance; while Charlotte Cont was as if she had been blasted away by a powerful force, staggering backward for more than ten meters before barely managing to stop her retreat.

The situation took a dramatic turn in an instant.

Page One, who had been completely suppressed, suddenly unleashed astonishing power, not only successfully withstanding Charlotte Cont's attack, but even beginning to suppress her in return.

However, despite Charlotte Conte's all-out effort, including using Armament Haki, he found himself struggling to cope with Page One's power.

This scene shocked everyone present, especially Charlotte Counter herself. He stared wide-eyed at Page One in disbelief, inwardly marveling, "Is this the power of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit? It can so drastically enhance the strength of a martial arts expert!"

At the same time, Charlotte Conte's eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at Page Van, a hint of resentment and anger flashing in his eyes.

Clearly, his fighting spirit had been fully ignited, and he would never easily admit defeat.

Just then, Charlotte Daifuku suddenly clapped his hands, a smile on his face, and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being a former high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates! His strength is indeed extraordinary!"

While his words contained some praise, they were mostly a provocation and sarcasm.

After Charlotte Daifuku finished speaking, she turned to look at Denjiro, her eyes revealing a deeper meaning. Seeing this, Denjiro's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Charlotte Owen, Charlotte Opera, Charlotte Conte, Charlotte Cardant, Charlotte Cavallette, and Charlotte Armand all had a strange glint in their eyes after witnessing the interaction between Charlotte Daifuku and Denjiro.

They are not stupid people; what's the point of saying such nonsense at this moment?

In the world of the strong, fists and swords are the most direct and powerful language. Moreover, Charlotte Owen's behavior was rather unusual, quite unlike his usual character.

This unusual behavior alerted them, and they began to think things through. After some consideration, they realized that Charlotte Owen's purpose was simply to buy time, waiting for Charlotte Gala, Charlotte Yashow, and Charlotte Effie to arrive and provide support.

Thinking of this, their gazes turned to Denjiro in unison. His performance in just taking that attack was enough to prove that his strength was not to be underestimated, and was even no less than any of theirs.

Although the strength of the other two is still unclear, since they are able to act together with Sasaki, Ulti, and Page One, their strength must not be too bad.

Especially when their gaze finally fell on Yamato, they were even more certain of this. Because they keenly sensed that Sasaki, Utti, Page One, Denjiro, and Kikunojo were clearly led by Yamato.

Therefore, even if they were not familiar with Yamato, or had never even met him, the fact that he could win the hearts of these five people so sincerely was enough to show that he must have extraordinary strength, at least far surpassing them.

This fact made them feel a sense of apprehension.

Although they have one more person than their opponents, seemingly giving them an advantage, their chances of victory in a real fight are far from guaranteed.

After all, the outcome of a battle is often influenced by a variety of factors, and the number of people is not the only determining factor.

More importantly, this is Whole Cake Island, the headquarters and lair of the Big Mom Pirates!

If they lose this conflict, then only Charlotte Gala, Lotte Yacho, Charlotte Effie, and her older brother Charlotte Perospero will remain. At that point, the situation will become four against six, which will be extremely unfavorable for them.

Even if the seven of them were to ultimately lose, their opponents would certainly not emerge unscathed. The problem is that the outcome of this battle is crucial to the safety of the entire Whole Cake Island, and absolutely no carelessness can be tolerated.

That's why, at this moment, they finally understood why Charlotte Daifuku had been suppressing her temper and deliberately stalling for time. Under these circumstances, it was indeed the most correct and wisest choice.

They were secretly plotting how to stall for time, but Yamato, Sasaki, Ulti, Page One, Denjiro, and Kikunojo had no time for idle chatter! Especially Yamato, who was already itching to have a real fight with the strong members outside the Beast Pirates.

In the blink of an eye, Yamato, wielding an iron rod crackling with lightning, charged forward with astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, the iron rod swept past her opponent with the force of a thunderbolt—this move was none other than her father Kaido's signature technique—Thunder Bagua!
