Garp frowned deeply, his eyes revealing a trace of gravity, the wrinkles on his face seeming to deepen further.
Even Kizaru high in the air furrowed his brow, narrowing his eyes slightly as he worried.
"Looks like another losing deal. Who knows how long I'll need to recover after getting injured this time."
"Hmph!"
Akainu snorted coldly, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately chose to strike!
Blazing, the raging magma surged from the ground like a volcanic eruption, the black-red molten rock carrying destructive force as it rushed toward Big Mom.
The magma churned and roared, as if it were the fury of the earth's core, ready to devour everything in its path!
"Great Eruption!"
However, Big Mom simply swung her Napoleon fiercely, slashing directly at it!
"Emperor Sword: Shockwave!"
The Buddha Fruit's shockwave was invisible, but the compressed air scattered and swirled, forming a powerful force that instantly shattered the magma!
Magma scattered and splashed in mid-air, blooming like fireworks, yet carrying a trace of brutality.
The Azure Dragon ability had multiplied Big Mom's resistance to attacks and stamina, but the continuous battle, facing the relentless assaults of Akainu, Garp, and Magellan, had drained her energy significantly.
Especially against Magellan's venom, it was simply impossible to guard against entirely.
The billowing purple poison gas seeped everywhere, entering her body with every breath.
If not for her naturally robust physique, she would have been finished long ago.
"Big Mom, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Kizaru's Light Speed Kick shot toward Big Mom like a golden beam of light!
His speed was so fast that it was nearly impossible to track his movements—only a golden afterimage could be seen slicing through the air.
Facing a veteran Yonko like Big Mom, even he dared not let his guard down easily.
If he were to capsize in a minor skirmish, it would be troublesome.
"MAMAMAMA!"
Big Mom merely tilted her body slightly as black dragon scales rapidly grew into a shield, incredibly hard and gleaming with an eerie light.
Clang!
Kizaru's Light Speed Kick was forcefully blocked, and the point of impact erupted with a dazzling radiance!
The light was as blinding as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
The powerful shockwave spread outward, stirring up a fierce gust of wind that sent dust flying all around.
"Hmph, how dare you kick me? Zeus!"
"MAMA, Zeus is here!"
The black cloud Zeus crackled with lightning all over its body as Big Mom grabbed it firmly.
The electricity crackled and sparked like agile silver snakes.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning coiled around Big Mom's left hand.
Thunder gathered densely, dark clouds blotted out the sky, and the overwhelming lightning made it seem as though the Thunder God had descended upon the world!
"Heavenly Rage!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from Zeus, as if alive, rapidly striking down at the crowd below.
Several of these lightning bolts targeted Kizaru, who let out a startled cry upon seeing them.
He had developed an allergic reaction to lightning; every time he saw those flickering electric sparks, he couldn't help but think of Whitebeard swinging his naginata to slash him.
The terrifying memory still haunted him.
"So scary~"
Kizaru's body transformed into light, darting and weaving across the battlefield, evading the lightning attacks.
Beams of light left golden afterimages in the air.
Meanwhile, the others swiftly countered the incoming lightning.
Magellan's Poison Dragon emerged from his back—a massive creature exuding a nauseating purple poisonous gas.
Part of the corrosive venom blocked the lightning, while the rest lunged toward Big Mom!
The Poison Dragon opened its enormous maw, baring sharp fangs as if to devour Big Mom in one bite.
However, Big Mom's Buddha Fruit ability allowed her body to emit shockwaves instantly.
A flicker of disdain passed through her eyes, and a ferocious grin curled her lips.
Compressed air! Erupt!
The powerful shockwave, like an invisible giant hand, instantly dispersed the venom, preventing it from getting anywhere near her body or having a chance to corrode her skin.
Wherever the shockwave passed, the air distorted, emitting a low, humming sound.
"Dammit, there's no chance to get close at all!" Magellan was both furious and helpless, but he continued his assault.
Under his control, the Poison Dragon launched another attack at Big Mom.
"Napoléon, Ikoku, Impact Overlay!"
With a backhanded swing, she gripped Napoléon tightly, unleashing a torrent of powerful Conqueror's Haki!
The Haki surged like black flames, swirling and burning around her, emitting a roaring sound.
A Shockwave capable of piercing through an entire island sliced the Poison Dragon in two, splattering Venom everywhere!
The Venom formed a purple mist in the air, spreading across the battlefield.
The Shockwave continued unabated, like an arrow shot from a bow, unavoidable as it shot straight toward Magellan, seemingly intent on piercing him through!
"Hmph! Venom Shield!"
Magellan frowned deeply, feeling immense pressure from this move.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he hastily retracted the Poison Dragon and focused entirely on defense!
A purple shield rapidly formed around his body, its surface shimmering with an eerie glow, bracing against the impending attack.
Boom!
The powerful impact sent both his shield and his body flying instantly!
He traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Yet, the piercing force was ultimately blocked, though a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.
Seeing Magellan sent flying, Garp swiftly chose to intervene.
"Fist Bone: Star Burst!"
His iron fists, carrying a world-shattering momentum, slammed toward Big Mom!
Wherever the fist wind passed, the air was torn apart with a hissing sound, the ground crumbled, and debris flew everywhere.
Garp's eyes were resolute, his arm muscles taut as he poured all his strength into this single punch.
"MAMAMA, Garp, I didn't expect you to still have the energy to strike!"
Big Mom merely sneered, the power of the Buddha Fruit turning her fist into gleaming gold, radiant and dazzling.
Zeus's lightning coiled around her fist, clashing violently with Garp's iron punch!
Lightning crackled and danced across her fist, emitting a series of popping and sizzling sounds.
"BOOM—!"
The moment the two forces collided, a deafening roar erupted, as if the entire world had frozen in that instant.
A massive Shockwave spread outward from the epicenter of their clash, upturning the ground and causing seawater to flood in, creating a chaotic battlefield.
Dust and smoke billowed, sparks flew, and the air filled with the acrid smell of scorched material, making it hard to breathe.
Big Mom's figure loomed faintly through the haze, her chilling laughter echoing across the battlefield.
"MAMAMAMA! Cough, cough... You think you can stop me? Cough, cough..."
