I Have Only Ever Trusted Myself

"Mom, are you crazy? My younger siblings are all being controlled by that bastard!" Katakuri's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected his mother to be so angry that she would stop at nothing to kill the enemy. He had no choice but to quickly use his ability to create a Rice Cake House, enveloping everyone inside.

The raging Great Wave crashed against the walls of the rice cake, creating a thunderous roar. Even the ground cracked like a spider web. Fortunately, the barrier created by Katakuri not only possessed unyielding resilience but also strength stronger than iron, standing firm like an immovable reef in the sea.

"Katakuri, are you trying to stop me? You're just my son, mind your own business, or I'll kill you too!" Big Mom was so enraged that she lost her mind. She wielded the giant blade that Bicorn Hat Napoleon had transformed into, unleashing a terrifying slash that was meant to destroy Katakuri along with the Rice Cake House he had created.

The massive slash was imbued with an aura of destruction, as if it were about to annihilate the world. It was incomparable to the slashes that Floyd had previously unleashed while controlling Big Mom's body.

"I can't stop it!" Katakuri's pupils contracted sharply. As someone who had followed his mother for so many years, he naturally knew how strong his mother was. He was absolutely unable to withstand his mother's furious attack.

"But we have to defend ourselves even if we can't stop it!" Katakuri couldn't help but glance at his younger siblings behind him. If he stepped aside now, they would probably all be reduced to dust in this attack.

Boom!

Just as Katakuri was preparing for a desperate attack, a dazzling Sword Qi suddenly appeared in front of him. The seven-colored sword light shone brightly under the sunlight, directly shattering the giant slash launched by Big Mom. The already shattered Whole Cake Island was further torn apart, and surging seawater poured in, turning Whole Cake Island into a whole Whole Cake Archipelago.

"Phew, I'm saved." Looking at the figure blocking his way, Katakuri felt for the first time that having a brother-in-law like this might not be such a bad thing.

"Charlotte, my crew is not for you to deal with." Roy said calmly, looking at the mountain of Big Mom in front of him.

After all, in addition to the members of the Big Mom Pirate Crew, Crocodile the Sand and Augustine were also within Big Mom's attack range.

"Nightmare, are you going to stop me too?" Big Mom was still furious, but at least she was a little more sober. Having just recovered from Floyd's attack, she was not at her peak and was no match for Roy.

"Calm down. There are plenty of ways to deal with this guy. There's no need to resort to such brutal methods." Roy's tone was calm, but the murderous intent in his words clearly showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the guy who had plotted against him.

"Remove your protective shield," Roy said, turning to Katakuri.

Katakuri didn't hesitate much and quickly took back the Rice Cake House. Although Roy was also an extremely dangerous person, he was undoubtedly much easier to get along with than his mother.

"Trying to deal with me? Don't even dream about it! Without a physical body, I've already eliminated the last weakness of Devil Fruit. Even Sea Stone is useless against me. Unless you destroy all the bodies I control, like Big Mom did before, I'm eternally immortal! Hahahaha!" All the bodies controlled by Floyd laughed wildly in unison, mockingly saying, "So, what are you planning to do? Will you kill me at all costs, or spare your two Admiral?"

"Compared to the other Four Emperors, your foundation is already weak. If you lose two more capable Admiral, you might end up as a commander without an army!"

"How about this, I won't force you to go to war with the other Four Emperors. As long as you let me and Logan go, we can pretend that nothing ever happened. That would be better for everyone."

"Enough with the nonsense." Roy didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone chilling. "If this is your last wish, then please die in peace!"

"What do you mean?" Floyd instinctively sensed something was wrong, but thought Roy was bluffing, so he tried to convince himself, "My soul is scattered in so many bodies, it's impossible to find the origin of my soul."

"Hehe, the worst thing you could have done was to control Crocodile the Sand and the other one. You were too greedy. It was your greed that gave me the opportunity!" Roy closed his eyes, as if listening to the Breath of All Things.

"Oh no!" Floyd exclaimed in alarm, trying to retract his soul from the bodies of the two Crocodile the Sand.

"Found you!" A powerful spiritual will suddenly erupted from the bodies of Crocodile the Sand and Augustine, clinging to Floyd's soul imprint like a leech, spreading all the way back to Floyd's spiritual origin.

"You even betray your own subordinates, planting your own will in their souls. How despicable! Are you guarding against their betrayal?" Floyd's soul essence said unwillingly.

"Idiot, the only person I can trust in this world is myself." Roy said indifferently, without a trace of emotion.

"I... am not reconciled..."

Boom!

An inconspicuous figure in the crowd suddenly had its head explode, like a ripe watermelon. If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably be so disgusted that they couldn't eat for three days and three nights, and might even develop a lifelong phobia of watermelons.

Roy showed no mercy whatsoever. This guy's abilities were far too dangerous, even he couldn't control them. In addition, since Floyd no longer had a physical body, Roy's surgical abilities were ineffective. It was better for such an uncontrollable time bomb to die completely.

In any case, he still gained a lot from this trip. Not to mention the research on the Adamantium in Logan's body, just the fact that he gained another top-ranking officer with combat power close to that of Admiral was enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Besides, compared to Big Mom, whose headquarters was completely destroyed and who also lost face, he has already made a huge profit.

After the brainless body fell straight down, everyone opened their eyes with a hint of confusion. Although they were bewildered, their eyes had at least regained their lively color, clearly indicating that they had escaped control.

"He can find and kill even such a powerful and unpredictable individual. What is there that Nightmare can't do?" Katakuri was strange. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Roy was much stronger than his mother. At least, that was the case in today's events. If it weren't for Roy, the Big Mom Pirate Crew would probably have been removed from the ranks of the Four Emperors.

Among the crowd, there was a figure trembling.

Smoothie's face fell. Her memory was stuck at the last moment. She had actually been bewitched and crushed the picture of Carmel Nun in front of her mother. Oh no, she was going to be beaten to death, and a really horrible one at that!
