#342 - Chapter 342: The Destroyed Nations
As dawn broke, countless news birds suddenly appeared in the skies around the world.
They soared through the air, carrying the latest newspapers, streaking across the sky like bolts of lightning, delivering the latest shocking news to the people.
On this day, the order of the entire world seemed to be disrupted by an invisible force, and all eyes were drawn to the front-page news.
The front page of the newspaper prominently featured a shocking picture: Jin An unleashing his earth-shattering blow in the battle against Kaido.
That strike seemed to tear apart the heavens and the earth, as if the entire world stood still at that moment.
The caption was short and powerful:
"Marine G5 Branch Vice Admiral Jin An defeats Kaido, one of the strongest creatures in the world, single-handedly!"
This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of everyone who saw the newspaper.
In every corner of the world, people who saw this report felt a surge of shock in their hearts.
Marine Vice Admiral Jin An, a virtually unknown figure just a few years ago, had now single-handedly defeated Kaido, who was hailed as the "strongest creature," which was undoubtedly a battle that changed the world's landscape.
This victory was not only a victory for the Marines but also a reshuffling of the world order.
What surprised people even more was that the newspaper also detailed the events of the Mary Geoise incident.
As they read further, people's astonishment grew even more uncontrollable.
The Pangea Castle in Mary Geoise was cleaved in two, and this sacred land had suffered such devastating damage.
That strike not only cleaved the buildings but also severed people's unwavering fear and awe of the Celestial Dragons.
Even more shocking was that the Five Elders and the God's Knights could not stop the mysterious person's attack, the entire Mary Geoise's communication was paralyzed, the guards were at a loss, and the Celestial Dragons were plunged into unprecedented panic.
This news was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up waves in every corner of the world.
Governments, pirate groups, and underground forces in the dark world – all those with power and ambition began to stir.
They knew that this was not just a victory or defeat in two battles, but perhaps also foreshadowed the end of an old era and the arrival of a new one.
The future world would no longer be calm, more storms were coming, and whoever could seize the initiative in this storm would determine the fate of the entire world.
Various organizations were making two-pronged preparations to welcome the upcoming changes in the world.
In this seemingly peaceful daily life, sharp-nosed powerhouses were already secretly acting, knowing that the future would be an era of bloody storms.
And this newspaper was undoubtedly the prelude to the war drum, sounding the horn for the entire world to descend into chaos.
Everyone was preparing, some were recruiting troops, some were looking for allies, and more were plotting conspiracies, trying to get a piece of the pie in this upcoming chaotic world.
That newspaper was not just a carrier of news, but also a prediction of the future.
Between its lines, it revealed a sense of solemnity, as if warning the world: a brand-new era was coming, and whether one could survive in this chaos would depend on who realized this first and who took action first.
......
Charlotte Linlin, who had fled the battlefield, sat disheveled on Zeus's back, clutching the newspaper she had just received.
Her gaze was fixed on the eye-catching front-page picture, Jin An's moment of slashing down Kaido, like a sharp blade piercing her heart, causing her thoughts to be torn apart in pain.
The once invincible Big Mom Charlotte Linlin had actually fallen to such a state, and the newspaper in her hand seemed to mock her failure and incompetence.
A sense of sorrow quickly spread in her heart, and she suppressed the urge to kill her way back to the G5 Branch now, but she could not suppress the great grief in her heart.
The prestige she had painstakingly built collapsed in this war.
For many years, she had ruled Totto Land with iron and blood, and deterred all directions with her powerful strength, but in a short period, she was repeatedly defeated by Marine Admiral Jin An, and even had to flee in embarrassment.
The hatred in her heart surged like a tide, almost engulfing her.
What pained her even more was that many of her sons and daughters, whom she had painstakingly given birth to, had died in this battle.
Most of those children whom she had personally nurtured and placed high hopes on had now returned to the sea.
Every passing life left a deep scar on her heart, and those vivid faces kept flashing in her mind.
She didn't know how much thought she had spent and how many husbands she had captured to raise these children.
Now, all of them had turned into endless regret and hatred.
She hated it!
She hated herself for failing to protect her children, hated that all her efforts had been in vain, hated that she had repeatedly failed in Jin An's hands, and hated the injustice of fate!
Her fists were clenched tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, and blood dripped from her hands, staining her sleeves red.
However, no amount of anger and pain could help at this moment.
She looked up ahead, her eyes filled with deep determination.
Totto Land was her last fortress and her hope for a comeback.
That was her base camp, and her remaining children were still guarding her power and dignity.
As long as she could reorganize and use the resources and power of Totto Land, she believed that she still had a chance to make a comeback and regain everything that belonged to her.
Jin An, the man who had repeatedly put her in trouble, had become her greatest enemy.
She was not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!
She was once a pinnacle figure in the pirate world, and she would never allow herself to be so humiliatedly defeated by Jin An.
She wanted revenge, and she wanted Jin An to pay a painful price.
No matter what, she would not easily give up her power and dignity.
"Zeus, speed up!"
Charlotte Linlin ordered in a low voice, her voice filled with incomparable coldness and determination.
She wanted to return to Totto Land, regain control of everything, and then repay the hatred in her heart one by one.
As long as she was still alive, she would never let Jin An live in peace.
But when she finally arrived in Totto Land, her heart suddenly contracted, and the scene before her made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The once prosperous Totto Land had now been reduced to scorched earth, and the once glorious buildings and vibrant towns were now just ruins.
Thick smoke billowed, filling the air, as if every breath was mixed with the taste of ashes.
Deep cracks were all over the ground, and the charred trees and collapsed houses all indicated a devastating catastrophe.
Her eyes wandered over the devastated ruins, and anger grew wildly from the bottom of her heart, almost burning her whole body.
The Totto Land she had painstakingly built, the place she had ruled with countless efforts and energy, had become so miserable in the time she had been away.
Suddenly, Charlotte Linlin's gaze fell not far away, where a group of pirates were unscrupulously plundering her treasures on her territory.
They held the wealth she once regarded as treasures in their hands, wantonly mocking her former prestige, without any reverence.
This scene seemed to be the last straw that broke her reason, instantly igniting the most primitive rage in the depths of her heart.
"Ah!!!"
Charlotte Linlin let out a shrill roar, her voice mixed with endless anger and pain.
Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and her whole person fell into complete madness.
Powerful Haoshoku Haki erupted from her body, sweeping around like a storm, and the broken bricks and tiles on the ground were lifted by her anger, as if nature's roar was responding to the destructive emotions in her heart.
Before the pirates could react, they were shocked by her powerful aura, their faces pale and their legs trembling.
However, she did not give them any chance to escape.
She suddenly waved the weapon in her hand, and the thunderous power turned into a series of violent attacks, instantly tearing those wanton pirates to pieces.
Blood splattered, staining the land under her feet red, and she wanted to destroy the whole world.
Under her anger, the pirates who invaded her territory fell one after another, without any resistance.
Their screams echoed in the air, but in Charlotte Linlin's ears, these sounds seemed irrelevant.
Her world was now only left with the thoughts of anger and revenge, and she wanted to destroy all those who dared to desecrate her territory, even at all costs.
Her breathing became heavy, her heart beat like thunder, and she was completely in a state of rage.
Countless corpses lay under her feet, and blood gathered into a river of blood, staining her feet red.
However, even after slaughtering these pirates, the pain and anger in her heart still could not be calmed.
Her Totto Land, the kingdom that once made her so proud, had been completely destroyed, and the hatred in her heart was getting deeper and deeper.
"Jin An..."
She gritted her teeth and roared this name in a low voice, her voice full of endless hatred.
She would not give up, and all this hatred and pain would be borne by that man.
She would use all her strength to take back everything that belonged to her, and to ask Jin An for the dignity and glory she had lost.
