"You bastard, what did you say, you damn brat!!"
Big Mom's expression grew more ferocious. A sharp roar escaped her lips, a vein throbbing on her temple. She was clearly enraged.
"I said...An Emperor of the Sea... is nothing special!!"
The moment he finished speaking, Atlas's arm swelled, the veins on his neck bulged, and his face flushed red.
Terrifying power surged once again, unleashing its full force upon Big Mom!
—Thud thud thud!!
Under the immense force, even Big Mom, who could defeat a Giant elder at the age of six, was forced back several steps. The very air beneath her feet seemed to groan in protest!
With this terrifying strength, Atlas could have torn apart even Doflamingo's Birdcage with sheer brute force.
One had to remember that Atlas's Ox Talisman allowed him to exert the maximum strength his current body could withstand.
And after inhuman training and countless battles, his physique had reached an unimaginable level.
Even Kaido, with his Mythical Zoan awakening that dramatically increased his life force and physical power, could only match him and this was still not Atlas's limit.
"Mama!!"
The now-darkened Zeus cried out in alarm, his massive body rapidly expanding to catch the staggering Big Mom.
"Looks like you've improved quite a bit since last time, you damn brat!!"
"Zeus!"
"Yes, Mama!"
With a command, Zeus, beneath Big Mom's feet, began to spread out, surging towards the sky.
The already thunderous sky suddenly grew a human face, and purplish-black lightning, several times more terrifying than before, churned violently.
Rumble—!!
Countless bolts of lightning poured down like a frenzy of giant pythons, carrying destructive power as they scrambled to strike Atlas.
[Tenman Daijizai Tenjin]!!!
"Hmm!?"
Atlas did not lose his composure; his mind remained perfectly calm.
A bright red light flared in his eyes, and the trajectory of countless lightning bolts instantly appeared in his mind.
He had no intention of taking this head-on. This thunderstorm was on a completely different level from the previous lightning pillar.
Even with the Horse Talisman's healing, he had no desire to experience the pain of having his flesh peeled from his bones.
—Swish!
Atlas tilted his head, and a bolt of purplish-black lightning grazed past his shoulder.
A searing pain shot through his cheek as blood seeped out, only to heal completely in the next instant.
"This lightning isn't normal..."
Boom!!
With no time to think, Atlas shifted his body again, dodging another bolt that shot out from behind him.
Suddenly, the lightning he had just dodged turned back, chasing after him as if it had a homing device.
This thing is sentient...
An outrageous thought flashed through Atlas's mind.
"It's just lightning? I can do that too!"
With a roar, Atlas dodged while using the Rooster Talisman's power. Dark clouds gathered in the distance, and in an instant, thunder rolled.
He had no choice. If Zeus's body hadn't already covered the sky above them at the start of the fight, he might have been able to summon lightning himself, but now...
Atlas glanced up at the still-rampant Zeus and shook his head.
The thunderclouds above were essentially a part of Zeus. Even if he tried to seize control of the lightning forcibly, it would be a thankless effort.
"Roar—!!"
With a roar, a gigantic Hou beast pierced through the clouds and crossed the sea, its body roiling with silver-white lightning.
Every muscle and scale was formed from destructive thunder. Atlas let out a wild laugh, a ferocious glint in his eyes, "Thunder Beast: Hou!!"
Possessing both the destructive power and terrifying speed of lightning, the massive thunder beast arrived in an instant, its abyssal maw filled with fangs, ruthlessly devouring.
In a moment, all the purplish-black lightning vanished without a trace.
"Mama, my lightning doesn't work on him!"
Seeing this, Zeus shrieked loudly.
"Shut up!"
"Prometheus!"
Big Mom roared. With a mere thought, Prometheus understood and opened its mouth.
Boom—!!
A massive ball of light suddenly appeared in the dark sky.
"Heavenly Fireball!!"
The giant fireball shot out, hurtling menacingly toward Atlas! Atlas responded in kind, fighting fire with fire!
"Flame Dragon Blast!!"
A colossal eastern dragon extended from his arm, every scale and horn perfectly formed, explosive power coursing through its entire body.
—[Devour]!!
He used the same trick again, swallowing the fireball in one gulp.
Boom!!
A massive explosion erupted from within the dragon's belly, snapping the majestic creature in half at the waist!
Big Mom's 'Heavenly Fire' possessed both powerful explosive properties and the searing heat of flames, just like the Dragon Talisman!
"Re-form!"
Atlas focused his will, forcibly pulling the flame dragon's body back together. It grew even larger and coiled once more by his side.
Lightning against lightning! Fire against fire!
Big Mom couldn't gain any advantage!
"Damn you, brat!"
...
On Broccoli Island.
Smoker and the other Marines had gradually recovered from the pressure of the Conqueror's Haki just moments ago. They all turned their attention to the port.
"Sir, should we go and arrest Katakuri?"
Smoker turned his head and looked at the Marine who spoke as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Arrest him? Which one of you is going?"
Hearing this, all the Marines present lowered their heads in silence.
It was a joke. They had barely withstood his Conqueror's Haki. Now that he had recovered, his abilities weren't limited to just that.
Even with one arm disabled by Atlas, dealing with small fry like them would be effortless.
"By the way, Smoker, should you call Marineford and report the situation here?" Kyros asked Smoker with some concern.
"I just called Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but..." Smoker rubbed his forehead and shook his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"He said there's no one available to send for support right now. Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Akainu are not at the base; they're both out on missions."
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku has already told them to head this way as soon as possible."
....
Aboard the massive Queen Mama Chanter.
Katakuri, having regained his mobility, leaned against the ship's cabin with a grim expression, cradling the lifeless body of Smoothie in his arms.
He thought he was dead for sure. There was no way he could have blocked the final slash from Atlas in his weakened state.
He never expected Smoothie to rush forward and block the fatal blow with her own body.
Damn Marines...
Katakuri gnashed his teeth as he stared at the thunder-filled battlefield in the distance.
He looked as if he wanted to devour Atlas alive!
"Mamamamama! Byakko, you've really made me angry now!"
Big Mom stared fiercely at Atlas, reached up with her large, plump hand, and tore at her head!
The giant captain's hat was ripped off, revealing a purple and yellow-spotted bandana wrapped tightly around her head.
"Napoleon!"
"Yes! Mama!"
The pink captain's hat rapidly transformed and elongated, becoming a longsword that glinted coldly in her hand.
Big Mom gripped the hilt with both hands, drew her body back into a forward-slashing stance, and her thick arms swelled even larger.
Swish—!!
[Emperor Sword: Blade of Destruction]!
The longsword slashed down violently. A terrifying shockwave blasted out in all directions, the air groaning as if it couldn't bear the strain.
The piercing shriek seemed capable of penetrating eardrums.
Clang—!!
Atlas did not wait to be struck. The Futsunomitama at his waist was unsheathed, instantly wreathed in Armament Haki.
The tip of his blade thrust upward, striking first despite moving second!
Clang—!!!
The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Blade met blade in a furious struggle for dominance.
A shower of sparks flew as the flowing Armament Haki on each sword ground against the other like saw teeth.
"Big Mom..."
Atlas's eyes widened, veins bulged on his neck, and he clenched his jaw. His body slowly began to rise, gaining the upper hand.
Bang!!
An immense force knocked Big Mom's portly body away!
At the same time, a flash of the blade, a storm of sword energy—Atlas forcibly halted his momentum, closed the distance, and slashed again!
"One Sword Style: Ascending the Tower!!"
The bright flash of the blade instantly cut diagonally across Big Mom's body.
The terrifying sharpness, enough to make anyone's blood run cold, pressed forward relentlessly, trying to break through Big Mom's physical defence.
Screech—!!
The flash of the blade dissipated. Big Mom's clothes were torn open, and a shallow, bloody line ran from her shoulder to her left abdomen. The trickle of blood was almost imperceptible.
"As expected of Big Mom, the 'Iron Balloon'..."
Seeing this, Atlas's pupils contracted.
Although he had used only the most basic hardening technique due to the lack of time, it was combined with the Futsunomitama's sharpness, which was enough to cut through gold and jade.
Even Kaido would have to coat himself in Armament Haki to withstand that blow! And the Big Mom before him... If Atlas wasn't mistaken, she hadn't even used Armament Haki!
How arrogant!
"Mamamamama! Brat, it's not too late to surrender! I'm not a weakling like Kaido!"
Big Mom looked at the wound on her chest, which had already become a white scar. She gripped Napoleon tightly and raised it high above her head!
Invisible ripples spread out, and intense waves of sword energy pulsed through the air.
Vwoom—!
The longsword swung down, and a powerful shockwave of sword energy surged forth.
Its speed surpassed that of lightning, and its massive, water-column-like size made it nearly impossible to dodge!
[Ikoku Sovereignty]!
Also known as the Spear of Elbaf, it was a move unique to the Giant race. It was a mystery how Big Mom had learned it.
"There is no enemy I cannot cut, and nothing that cannot be cut..."
Atlas held the Futsunomitama with both hands, positioning the blade horizontally before him.
His muscles bulged, and black-and-red Armament Haki instantly enveloped the blade, flowing throughout his entire body.
"One Sword Style Secret Art: Crimson Skyline!!!"
He swung his sword, and a crimson slash wreathed in black-and-red Armament Haki shot forth to meet the massive shockwave!
Swish—!!
The slash flew forward, unstoppable, instantly slicing the shockwave in half. The terrifying energy split apart, plunging into the sea below and kicking up a thousand white waves!
The crimson slash continued unabated, like a meteor streaking across the sky, instantly reaching Big Mom.
"Mamamamama! Mother's Fire Blade!"
Big Mom snatched Prometheus from beside her. A massive amount of fire instantly coated Napoleon's blade.
Sharpness merged with scorching heat, destruction intertwined with devastation, as she raised her sword to block!
Clang—!
In a flash of light and dark, the world fell silent, as if a black hole had collapsed. The momentary collision shot out countless bolts of lightning.
The will to cut through anything pierced through from the slash, its terrifying force continuously tipping the scales of victory!
Zephyr had once told Atlas during his Haki training: "Unwavering belief is strength itself!!"
It was idealistic, but it was the gospel truth.
"Brat!! I am an Emperor of the Sea!!"
Big Mom's eyes were blood-red, and she roared continuously. Her purple eyeshadow was smeared by sweat, and the scarf on her head had vanished, leaving her messy pink hair plastered to her scalp. She looked like a shrew screaming in the street.
"Let me show you what true power is!"
With a furious roar, Big Mom once again drew purple lightning from the sky, madly infusing it into Napoleon!
Bang!!
Immense power poured forth, and the crimson slash was brutally shattered, flying harmlessly behind her.
...
New World, in an unknown sea.
A blood-stained Marine warship floated slowly on the water, surrounded by the wreckage of ships and raging fires. The side of the warship was marked with 'G-7'.
The G-7 base was under the jurisdiction of Marine Admiral candidate Akainu!
At this moment, on the warship. Akainu stood ramrod straight on the deck, his expression cold, his arms crossed.
Beside him was a Marine with a world-weary face and a constant frown, wearing a helmet with a two-headed dragon design and a fierce expression.
"Onigumo, was this scum the mastermind behind the child trafficking incident?"
Akainu tilted his head slightly, looking at Onigumo, his second-in-command.
"That's right, but they were working with a group of slave traders."
Onigumo nodded in response.
He was currently a Rear Admiral at headquarters. Akainu had taken notice of him back in the training camp, and after a period of gaining experience, he was finally promoted to be Akainu's adjutant.
Like Akainu, he was considered a hardliner within the Marines.
"I'll leave the rest to you. Just remember one thing..."
Akainu paused for a moment. "When dealing with evil, there is no need for mercy!!"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku called just now, but you were busy annihilating the pirates, so I didn't tell you."
"What is it?"
"He said Vice Admiral Byakko is fighting Big Mom and requested that you provide support if possible."
"Where is the battle?"
"Near Broccoli Island..."
"We're going to support Byakko first. Put everything else aside."
Akainu made an immediate decision, giving the order to Onigumo.
"But..."
"Given our current distance from Broccoli Island, even if we head there at full speed, we won't make it in time."
Sailing takes time, and the journey is not always smooth. Given the treacherous weather of the New World, encountering extreme conditions like storms was common.
Therefore, Onigumo could only provide a realistic estimate.
