Chapter 501: Chapter 501 God Valley Arc: One Man Suppresses Three Emperors

"Stop talking big!!!"

"Brat!!!"

On Charlotte Linlin’s pretty face, a bit of indignation showed. She gritted her teeth.

"That guy Rocks may be a bastard, but he’s not someone just anyone can be compared to!!!"

That man who once dominated the world relied on overwhelming strength and peerless Haki to press monsters like them, these captains, until they could barely breathe. Even though every one of them could rule a sea as a maritime overlord, they still had to admit that the man named Rocks truly had the makings of a king of the world. How many monster pirates fell on the road to challenging Rocks...

Thinking of this, her gaze slowly sharpened, fixed on this young man carrying a black gun.

"You... what kind of king do you want to become?!"

Everyone looked at Orin. That figure stood right there, a youthful recklessness on his face, yet calm and unruffled.

"Me..."

"I just want to become the freest person in the world!!!"

Hearing that, Linlin froze for a moment. She hadn’t expected that answer. But thinking it over, although it sounded vague, it was actually outrageously grand.

"Ma ma ma ma... the freest in the world?"

"I also dream of becoming the woman who rules the world!!!"

A trace of fighting intent flashed in her eyes. The hand covered in gem rings was instantly wrapped in incredibly dense Armament Haki.

"Then... let me see your strength!!!"

Her pink long hair whipped wildly. The captain’s hat on Linlin’s head grew eyes and turned into a big saber with teeth, while Prometheus became flames coiling around the blade. Together with the lightning of Conqueror’s Haki, her figure—twice Orin’s height—suddenly raised the blade. That stance came from Elbaf’s giant technique!!!

The blade, wreathed in flames and Conqueror’s Haki, slashed straight toward Orin’s head, the sound of air tearing echoing across the sky.

"The Spear of Elbaf!!!"

Boom—!!!! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

This heavy, earth-shaking slash, used by Big Mom with her monstrous physique, perfectly matched a technique only giants could wield. Just the shockwave from the moment it met Orin was enough to blast a crowd of lackey soldiers flying.

Charlotte Linlin had great confidence in this strike—this was the foundation that let her stand among the captains. The monstrous body that had killed a bear in childhood and wiped out an entire giant village, plus the Soul-Soul Fruit and her thick, surging Haki—even other monsters of the sea, when facing it, would...

"Ma... what a ferocious slash. Worthy of the woman I admire."

As Linlin’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, a light, breezy voice came from the smoke. The dust cleared, and that giant slash had not, as imagined, blown the young man before her to pieces or left him gravely wounded.

Everyone looked over in shock.

The young hothead Shiki had dropped the cigar from his mouth onto the ground, clearly stunned. Whitebeard’s eyes sank slightly, as if sensing trouble. As for Kaido’s reaction... well, Kaido was still badly hurt, lying there bandaged up.

A bunch of lackeys had been blown away by the aftershock. Among them, Keek clung desperately to a mast, eyes wide as he stared at the center of the battlefield.

Orin had raised an arm, which was covered in Ryuo. Strands of black-red lightning crackled. Although his arm trembled a little as it wrestled with the blade, he still caught that heavy strike firmly.

"If we’re talking about physique and brute strength, I won’t lose to anyone~"

Orin even reached out and grabbed the burning blade, startling Napoleon. The power of Conqueror’s Haki Infusion collided there, spreading into a sky-filling web of black-red lightning as countless lackeys began to faint.

"What a pretty face~"

Orin looked at Linlin up close. After all, she was one of the very few in the world whose innate physique wasn’t weaker than his—and she was also a tall beauty five or six meters high.

Too bad she’d already had children.

With no sense of cherishing beauty at all, Orin exerted force with his hands. The terrifying brute strength yanked Linlin off balance. Then flames flared around Orin’s leg as well, and with an even heavier Demon King Wind Kick, he slammed a kick into the young Linlin’s head.

Her eyes rolled back. She fell into a brief blackout and collapsed straight onto the ground.

Orin directly sat on Linlin’s body and used an Armament-powered grip to clamp down on her wrists.

"You’ve had several kids already, but I didn’t expect you to keep such a good figure~"

At this time, Big Mom was giving off a distinctly mature aura, especially with those exaggerated proportions. Standing in front of her, Orin was only about half her height—his face could practically be buried in it.

Of course, although Orin was young and high-spirited, he didn’t have much of that kind of impulse—he was just a little nostalgic for the youth that had already passed.

But Linlin, who had just recovered a bit of consciousness, saw Orin’s gaze and the way he was sitting on her. After a moment of stunned silence, a bit of heat showed on her face.

"Hey!!! You..."

"Hm?"

Orin looked at Linlin beneath him, who was being restrained.

"I get it—you want to have a child with me, right?"

"??"

"No need to hide it. If it’s a monster like you, it’s not impossible~"

"???"

This wasn’t the first time Orin had heard that. The last time was not long after he set sail, when Big Mom—whose figure had already changed a lot—said it.

"You..."

The still-young Orin looked at the youthful and beautiful Linlin. Even if his heart stirred, once he thought about how she already had many children, the mood was gone.

At this moment, a figure stepped forward.

A man named Keek stepped out, fearless of death.

(So you won’t say I’m padding the word count, you can jump ahead to Chapters 238, 239, and 240 to relive this segment; it’s skipped here.)

...

With just one person, he had forced several captains of the Rocks Pirates to give him respect. Orin’s name spread across the world on that final day.

He took joining the Rocks Pirates as his condition and demanded that this great battle be halted.

Newgate felt it was tricky and that he couldn’t make the decision, so afterward he simply called Rocks on a Den Den Mushi.

Whitebeard held Murakumogiri in one hand and the Den Den Mushi in the other, looking at it with some difficulty.

"Beruru beruru beruru..."

"Click."

"Hey!!! Rocks!!!"

"Our encirclement of Roger failed..."

"...Yeah, that guy is strong. Linlin has already been defeated."

"Shiki and I are fine, just injured."

"And the other side?"

"Ma... aside from one crewmate being cut, you could say he’s basically unscathed."

Rocks: "???"
