One piece: The Greatest Swordsman of the Rocks Era!

Streusen was completely stunned.

Ares actually came to see Linlin on his own initiative?!

Inside the room,

When Charlotte Linlin heard Streusen's startled voice, she immediately turned her head toward the doorway, where Ares was standing. A glimmer of desire flashed through her eyes.

Her massive heart began to beat wildly with excitement.

Even her body began to react in… indescribable ways.

Linlin, overwhelmed by her own intense reaction, immediately got up from her steel-reinforced bed and walked toward the door.

Standing at the entrance, Ares said directly to Streusen, "I'm here to see Linlin."

"Ares, come in!" Linlin's gaze was practically devouring him, filled with longing and obsession. Her tone was a little too eager.

"Streusen, step outside," she added, her eyes glued to Ares like he was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Streusen cast Linlin a long, deep look. But there was no way he could disobey her command. He reluctantly stepped out and closed the door behind him.

He simply stationed himself right outside.

Inside the room

Ares followed Linlin and sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, getting straight to the point.

"Linlin, Kaido told me you have a nickname Steel Balloon. He said your body is even tougher than mine. I want to know, why is your body so incredibly hard?"

If he could understand the secret behind Linlin's steel-like body, perhaps it would help him further increase the hardness of his own physique.

That thought drove Ares with an urgent need to know the answer.

"Hard, huh?"

Linlin's expression became playful, almost like she was teasing him. She stared at Ares and said in a sultry tone, "Yes, my skin is really tough… but there are parts of me that are quite soft."

"Want to find out?"

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, boldly showing off her impressive figure and deep cleavage.

Hot-blooded and uninhibited!

Her huge eyes burned with an inexplicable "fire."

That look made Ares frown slightly, visibly uncomfortable.

He said, "Let me see your hand."

"I just want to check how tough your skin really is."

He didn't quite understand why Linlin's attitude felt so different from what he'd imagined, but he carefully remembered what Shiki and Whitebeard had warned him:

Never agree to any of Linlin's requests.

And: A young man must know how to protect himself out there in the world.

They had specifically told Ares, You must never let Linlin touch certain parts of your body!

Linlin flashed a seductive smile and stretched out her hand toward Ares. Just as Ares was about to carefully examine the texture of her skin…

The situation suddenly flipped.

Just as Ares reached out, Linlin suddenly grabbed his arm and yanked him forcefully toward her.

Her strength was enormous!

Caught completely off guard, Ares toppled forward and slammed straight into Linlin's embrace.

His face instantly darkened with fury. "Linlin, what are you doing?!"

Linlin licked her lips and giggled, "Why, I'm here to eat you, of course."

"You came right to my door. Why would I waste such a golden opportunity?!"

She wrapped both arms tightly around Ares, locking him in place with a powerful grip.

Ares' rage exploded. Without hesitation, he lifted his leg and fiercely kicked Linlin in the stomach.

Boom!!

The deafening thud alone proved how much force Ares put into that kick.

If it had landed on a normal person, their internal organs would've been obliterated on the spot.

But Linlin was no ordinary person.

She was a natural-born monster!

Even a kick this powerful didn't injure her, but it did send her crashing backwards, slamming into the ground.

Still trapped in her iron grip, Ares fell with her, and the two began to roll around on the floor just like a street brawl between two thugs.

Furniture tables, cabinets were knocked over, shattering to pieces.

Items tumbled from shelves and smashed against the floor.

Ares was absolutely livid, his body blazing with power as he struggled to break free from Linlin's grasp.

He roared, "Linlin, let me go now!"

"Or I'm going to get serious!!"

But Linlin didn't care in the slightest. She simply giggled, her flushed face inching closer to Ares, forcing him to keep dodging her puckered lips, twisting his head left and right.

Linlin was now a full-blown beauty, but Ares completely unaware of "matters between men and women" was absolutely repulsed by this.

"Damn it!!!"

Seeing that Linlin wasn't giving up, Ares' fury reached its boiling point. His face turned as red as a monkey's backside. Even his bronze skin couldn't hide the fiery blush.

Ares clenched his jaw. Shiki and Whitebeard were right. I should never have come near Linlin!

In the next instant, he activated his unique Armament Haki.

His body temperature skyrocketed!!

The air in the room rapidly heated up, an oppressive heat wave surging out in all directions.

Thick white steam began rising off Ares' body.

"Ah!!!"

"So hot!!!"

As his body temperature soared higher, Linlin's hands began to feel like they were pressed against red-hot iron. At first, she could withstand it thanks to her "steel balloon" skin.

But Ares' special Armament Haki didn't just raise his surface temperature it unleashed more and more power from within his body!

The two of them continued wrestling, locked in a stalemate.

Outside the room

Hearing the commotion, Streusen's expression drastically changed. He sucked in a sharp breath.

"Hiss… this is way more intense than what happened with Kaido!"

"That newly built steel bed… it's not going to hold, is it?!"

"Maybe next time we'll have to use seastone instead?!"

He never expected the situation inside to get this wild.

Streusen chuckled to himself. Who would've thought Ares, who always seems so slow and simple, would be this good at playing the game…

Suddenly

Boom!!

A loud crash echoed through the hallway.

Streusen's face froze in shock as a massive figure slammed directly on top of him.

A disaster from the heavens!

Linlin's gigantic body had been kicked clean through the wall by Ares, and she landed straight on top of Streusen, nearly flattening him.

But as we know, in the world of One Piece, people have incredibly tenacious life forces.

If fate doesn't want you dead, you'll be ridiculously hard to kill. If fate does want you dead, even a single bullet might be enough.

"ARES!!!!"

Linlin staggered to her feet, her eyes now glowing crimson as she bellowed toward the room, "I'm going to eat you alive!!!"

The desire she'd suppressed for an entire month finally exploded all at once.

Her figure still not yet the deformed size of her future self tensed as the muscles in her legs erupted with explosive strength, shattering the stone floor beneath her feet.

Like a cannonball, she shot straight back into the room.
