Big Mom's screams spread across the entirety of Cake Island.
The Soul Homies on the island sensed their master's intense pain and extreme fury in that voice. Terrified, they curled up and trembled.
The waves of sound rolled over one another like a tsunami, making the ground beneath everyone's feet tremble slightly.
"It's Mama!"
The children and subordinates still fighting fiercely in the castle all froze.
"Mama is screaming?"
"How is that possible?!"
Hearing the screams of Big Mom, who had always been untouchable and possessed the majesty of an Emperor, they all began to panic.
But the pain in that voice could not be faked.
Big Mom had suffered severe injuries after fighting Garen for only a few minutes. This absurd, unbelievable reality caught the Big Mom Pirates' officers completely off guard.
"Katakuri?"
Smoothie struggled to free up a moment amid the fierce battle and asked Katakuri in panic, "What do we do?"
Veins bulged across Katakuri's forehead, and his eyes were filled with gravity.
Big Mom's screams had thrown him into a panic as well.
Katakuri glanced at Shiryu, who was consumed by bloodlust and hacking at anyone he saw like a madman. He gritted his teeth unwillingly and immediately made a decision.
"Forget Shiryu and the others!"
"We have to ensure Mama's safety."
He and Shiryu were evenly matched. No one knew how long it would take to decide a victor.
Yet Garen had made Big Mom howl in agony in just a few minutes.
If this dragged on, Katakuri feared that Garen might hack Big Mom to death.
"Everyone, follow me!"
He made his decision decisively, then shouted to his brothers and sisters.
"Go support Mama!"
Katakuri turned and left without hesitation. Smoothie followed closely behind him, leaving Shiryu's group behind.
