Regardless of Rocks's ugly expression, Linlin chose to leave the battlefield after seeing the Paw-Paw Fruit.
She was extremely fast and was about to rush to Ivankov. In the blink of an eye, Carl suddenly raised his right hand, which had turned black, and aimed it at Ivankov. A black vortex appeared in his palm.
"Universal Pull!"
Buzz!
The powerful gravity was released through the dark vortex. Ivankov and the Paw-Paw Fruit in his hand flew towards Carl at high speed under the pull of gravity. Linlin also missed and showed a confused expression on her face.
The big guys in the distance also had different expressions when they saw this scene. Rocks stared at Carl with an unbelievable look, focusing his eyes on the dark vortex in his hand.
"Is it that kid just now?! That ability... Could it be!?"
Garling's face was rarely shocked. He was not shocked by the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit, but by Carl's face.
"Who is that kid?"
He suddenly looked at Saturn who was silent at the side. Saturn had a complicated expression at the moment. He murmured, "He is obviously dead, but he just happens to look like..."
Everyone had their own thoughts.
After a brief moment of confusion, Linlin turned around and looked at Carl with a playful look, and said in a frivolous tone,
"I didn't expect that you, a little kid, are also a person with abilities. It seems that you have a good ability. Well, you are handsome, but you have taken my prey. Be obedient and give me the fruit. How about following me in the future?"
Linlin is not fat yet. She is a hot and beautiful woman. Her voice is even a little charming.
Even so, Carl still had the image of the drooling, bloated crazy aunt behind him in his mind, and he couldn't help shuddering.
Linlin felt that Carl was scared by her. She laughed and walked slowly towards the "scared" Carl.
Just when Linlin thought that the Paw-Paw Fruit was about to become hers, Carl lifted Ivankov's hand and squeezed it hard, and Ivankov immediately cried out in pain.
Taking this opportunity, Carl grabbed the Paw-Paw Fruit and was about to stuff it into Ivankov's mouth, but he still underestimated Linlin's speed.
In just a breath, Linlin had already rushed in front of Carl, and the unlucky Ivankov was kicked away by her like a ball.
She squatted down, pinched Carl's arm, which seemed extremely slender to her, with her fingers, and said in a bad tone,
"Brat, you are not very honest... huh?!"
Linlin's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly raised an arm covered with Haki. The moment she completed this action, a black shadow holding a sword appeared and chopped Linlin's arm with a sword.
"Clang!"
The person who came was actually Garling. After he chopped the sword, he immediately retreated with the force, and his figure fell not far away, staring at Linlin coldly with a pair of eyes.
Linlin retracted her arm, and the Haki faded. She could see a clear red mark on her fair skin. Even though she had a terrifying defense, she felt a dull pain in her arm.
Frowning, she didn't expect that the leader of the Knights of God would abandon the main battlefield and come to deal with her. She felt very troubled and thought to herself,
"It seems that Celestial Dragons also value this Paw-Paw Fruit. Then I must get it, and the Azure Dragon Fruit!"
The message sent by Ginny clearly mentioned the Paw-Paw and the Azure Dragon Fruit. Before coming, Linlin had already seen the Devil Fruit illustration. Her main purpose of coming to the Valley of Gods this time was to get the Azure Dragon Fruit.
She already had the Soul-Soul Fruit, so of course she didn't snatch it for herself to eat. She used it to seduce Kaido, who was reluctant to "surrender".
Linlin has never really surrendered to Rocks. She has long wanted to leave Rocks Pirate and work alone. Kaido is the person she likes. She also plans to tie Kaido with the Azure Dragon Fruit and let him follow her "in the future".
Originally, she only wanted to use the Paw-Paw Fruit as a substitute, but Garling's attack made her pay more attention to the Paw-Paw Fruit.
However, her thoughts went astray. Garling was not interested in the so-called Paw-Paw Fruit at all. He turned his head and looked at Carl, who was ignored by Linlin, and his eyes stayed on Carl's open chest for a moment.
Seeing those criss-crossing scars, his eyes flickered and he said,
"Hey, what's your name?"
Carl was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew this Garling, the leader of the Knights of God, the absolute elite among the Celestial Dragons, and his terrifying strength.
How could such a person pay attention to a child like himself?
Is it because of the Dark Fruit ability he just showed?
Come to think of it, neither Linlin nor Carl can resist Garling at present, not to mention that this Garling does not seem to have any malicious intent.
"My name is Carl."
Hearing Carl's name, Garling's body trembled slightly, and he asked eagerly,
"What's your full name?"
Carl was stunned for a while. It seemed that Garling knew him. To be precise, he knew his predecessor. However, he had no memory of his predecessor at all, so he had to say honestly,
"I can't remember what happened before. I only know that my name is Carl now!"
Carl's words are true, and the main theme is sincerity.
Garling nodded thoughtfully and whispered,
"Have you lost your memory? You can remember your name but forget your surname..."
Carl asked tentatively upon seeing this,
"You know me? So can you tell me what my full name is?"
The two of them were talking to each other, and Linlin was directly reduced to the background. Veins popped up on her forehead and she shouted angrily,
"That's enough! What's the name? Who do you think I am!?"
She roughly grabbed the Paw-Paw Fruit and raised her feet to leave.
Just when Carl thought that the Paw-Paw Fruit was about to be taken away, Garling moved again.
He just raised his sword and swung it, and a sword energy emitting red and black lightning burst out, aiming directly at Linlin.
Linlin didn't dare to raise her eyebrows, so she had to cross her arms in front of her chest to catch the sword energy, but the Paw-Paw Fruit fell out of her hands and rolled to Carl's feet.
Ivankov had already been kicked several meters away by Linlin. Carl flew up and kicked the Paw-Paw Fruit at his feet towards Kuma, shouting,
"Kuma! Eat the Paw-Paw Fruit quickly!"
Kuma and Ginny were still in a stunned state. Carl's shouts woke them up. Kuma didn't care anymore. He opened his mouth and pounced towards the flying Paw-Paw Fruit.
His mouth was much bigger than Carl's, and he swallowed the Paw-Paw Fruit directly. Soon, a pair of very cute-looking paw pads appeared in Kuma's palm.
