Big Mom

"Katakuri, is it alright to let them get close to Mother like this?"

Although they breathed a sigh of relief, Daifuku and the others still looked uneasy at their leader.

"That's the Black Winged Great Demon! And his second-in-command is a monster with Bounty of over three billion. If they team up, they really might kill Mother!"

Perospero was completely at a loss as to how to handle the situation.

If they can't stop Mother, Whole Cake Island might be destroyed, but if that man tries to stop Mother, the entire Big Mom Pirates might be destroyed as a result.

"My brother must have seen the future! Maybe he saw a future that would be beneficial to us!"

Brulee stepped forward and looked at Katakuri with a trusting expression.

"I didn't see anything."

You can't see it either.

Katakuri patted her head; her thin, ugly face seemed so adorable to him.

"Let's go. I'll go and stop the Straw Hat Pirates. You guys should also think of something to do."

"Also, my advice is not to provoke that man. At least for now, they don't have any ill intentions towards the Whole Cake Island."

As Katakuri finished speaking, he entered his sister's Mirror World.

"I'll go check on Brulee."

With golden-orange hair styled in a three-bladed, flame-like shape, and a beard on his chin, Oven made his choice.

"Honestly, none of them are reliable. I guess I'll go back to Whole Cake Chateau and take a look. After all, I don't know how long Aokiji's ability can last."

Smoothie picked up her slender sword and strode away.

"Well... that's the only way then. I'll go with Mother, since she's not quite lucid right now."

Left with no other choice, Perospero chased after Big Mom in the direction she had gone.

"Enel, you should be able to hear me, right? Go over there."

In the air, Cifer, who was following BIG MOM at a leisurely pace, suddenly spoke and gave some instructions.

"Is that guy someone you know?"

Enel touched his large earlobes, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know him. I just wanted to help a poor person on a whim."

"Hmph~ Whatever."

Enel transformed into Inazuma and flew towards the direction Cifer had pointed.

Soon after, Cifer and the others arrived above the sea. At this time, Big Mom was furious and was chasing the Thousand Sunny on her Sugar Manatee.

"Jinbe, you're amazing!"

Seeing Jinbe manage to escape the Thousand Sunny by single-handedly using the ocean current, Shirahoshi couldn't help but cover her mouth in amazement.

"Hurry and catch up with Mother! Brulee just gave us word that the Straw Hat Pirates will meet up on Cacao Island!"

In the fleet behind Big Mom, Perospero continued to issue orders.

"That island smells so good!"

Big Mom couldn't hear Perospero's shouts at all; her eyes were completely occupied by a nearby island that smelled delicious.

"Hey, Mother, no way! Straw Hat Kid are on Cacao Island, not here!"

Perospero, disregarding everything else, leaped onto her shoulder and began to tell her about their destination.

After all, if she were to start this, she would probably cause chaos all the way to Cacao Island until she gets the cake she wants, and in that case, the Whole Cake Island would be destroyed!

"It smells so good!"

Even though her eldest son was calling out right next to her ear, Big Mom couldn't hear him at all. Her pupils seemed to be spinning, and the fragrance that kept wafting into her nose was enticing her to head towards the island.

"No need to go any further, just stay here."

Cifer's sudden words left the members of the naval fleet below looking puzzled.

Ice Age!

Kuzan jumped from the sky and fell into the sea in full view of everyone.

Immediately, ice spread rapidly from his landing point, eventually freezing the entire sea area where the Big Mom Pirates were located.

Kuzan casually got up, adjusted his glasses, and looked relaxed.

"I'm so hungry~ What do you want? Are you going to help that damn Straw Hat Kid steal my cake?!"

Big Mom, seeing the seawater beneath her feet frozen solid, turned to look at Cifer and the others with a hint of rage in her eyes.

In her eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates had committed heinous crimes. Since becoming famous, no one had ever let her go hungry for so long!

She was extremely hungry and needed to find something to eat!

"You're overthinking it. I simply want to make the Whole Cake Island my territory."

Cifer spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"Ah?!"

Perospero, perched on Big Mom's shoulder, was completely terrified. He never imagined that the other person would actually do such a thing, especially saying it in front of his Mother, who was in a fit of rage.

"Huh? Don't be so arrogant, you brat!"

Big Mom's pent-up anger is about to erupt.

"Mother! Calm down, that's Sea Emperor on par with you!"

Perospero felt like dying. If the two of them were to fight on the ice, he would also be affected!

"Elbaph Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

Big Mom wielded Napoleon sword, and a massive sword aura surged toward Cifer.

"Savage Dragon Break!"

Cifer casually drew her Black Blade from her waist, twirled it in the air, and then a similarly terrifying and swift sword aura collided with her strike.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the people on the fleet below were blown so hard that they almost lost their footing. Perospero, who was on Big Mom's shoulder, was the first to fall onto the ice.

"No one can stop me from eating my wedding cake!"

"Heavenly Fire!"

Big Mom controlled Prometheus, and the fireballs she spewed were as hot as a small sun.

With a single strike, Cifer cleaved the small sun in two, sending it flying towards the underground fleet.

"Candy Wall!"

Perospero lay on the ground with both hands and suddenly grabbed, and an enormous and extremely thick barrier rose from the ground, blocking the way for the fleet.

"Boom!"

Although it was melted by the scorching flames in just a moment, it also neutralized most of its power, and the remaining embers were blocked by the combined efforts of the people on the ship.

"We're saved! No wonder it's Perospero!"

The people on the fleet cheered and began to disembark from the ships.

With the sea frozen over, staying on the ship would likely expose them to the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful figures.

"Damn it... I'm so hungry!"

Big Mom's powerful Conqueror's Haki spread wildly, causing many of the henchmen to become dizzy while fleeing.

"When you took action back then, you certainly didn't expect it to end like this, right?"

Cifer landed slowly on the ice and walked toward Big Mom, seemingly ignoring her fury.

"Go to hell!"

Napoleon's sword was wreathed in black and red, Inazuma -like streaks of Haki as he slashed toward Cifer's head.

"Let me put an end to your entanglement over the years."

Facing the greatsword aimed at him, Cifer raised the Banlong in his hand:

"Seal it off, Black Winged Great Demon!"
