The Big Mom's lifeless body landed heavily on the ice, bouncing twice due to her obesity. It's safe to say she's a true "Iron Balloon"—her elasticity is truly remarkable.
Whitebeard and the others stood there, clearly still reeling from Big Mom's death.
Senga made no attempt to hide it, immediately turning the Big Mom into Six Paths Puppet. With her Soul-Soul Fruit, she was the best Human Path.
To everyone's astonishment, the Big Mom suddenly opened her eyes, revealing the same Rinnegan pattern as Senga.
Kaido tentatively called out to Big Mom.
"Ling... Linlin?"
The Big Mom ignored her and slowly rose from the ice, walking silently to Senga's side, looking like a taciturn guard.
"Mother!"
The Big Mom Pirates members behind her thought Big Mom was being controlled by Senga and tried to wake her up with their voices. However, what they didn't know was that Big Mom was now just a corpse that only obeyed Senga's orders.
Shanks frowned and asked,
"What did you do to her?!"
Senga smiled gently.
You'll find out soon enough.
After saying that, Senga gave Big Mom her first order through the Rinnegan: to kill Red-Haired Shanks.
The Big Mom's fists were immediately covered in Armament Haki, and with a powerful push of her legs, she charged towards Shanks like a cannonball.
With the White Karma buff, Shanks was naturally not afraid of Big Mom, but this strange situation still left him somewhat confused, so he could only reach out and block Big Mom's attack.
The Whitebeard, however, paid no heed to such matters. He unleashed a powerful shockwave punch into the Big Mom's abdomen, producing a sound like shattering glass.
Despite suffering an abdominal injury, the Big Mom's body only trembled slightly before she slammed her other fist into Shanks in front of her.
Shanks cursed under his breath and kicked the Big Mom, sending her flying back.
The Big Mom returned to Senga's side without hesitation, placing her hand on the ice and infusing it with her soul.
Suddenly, a humanoid face appeared on the ice, and then the ice beneath Shanks' feet abruptly cracked.
Shanks no longer expected Big Mom to "regain" her sanity. He leaped off the ice and unleashed several red fist-shaped shockwaves at Big Mom from a distance.
The Big Mom crossed her arms to protect her chest, but Shanks' power had surpassed that of the Four Emperors, and she was blasted directly into the seawater beneath the ice.
Shanks breathed a sigh of relief upon landing back on the ground. In his view, Big Mom, being Devil Fruit User, would inevitably lose her ability to move once she fell into the sea.
But now the Big Mom has been transformed into Six Paths puppet, and her actions are completely controlled by Senga. Senga can easily force her to break free from the restrictions of the seawater.
The Big Mom burst out of the sea and lunged at Shanks again.
Whitebeard couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed the air with both hands and pulled downwards with force, causing the entire space to invert. The Big Mom in the air lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Whitebeard was about to rush forward to finish him off when Senga suddenly appeared in front of him.
A semi-circular space enveloped Whitebeard's body. Senga's hand, shaped like a pistol, pressed against Whitebeard's abdomen. Under Whitebeard's astonished gaze, she whispered...
"Room·shoot."
With a muffled thud, the Whitebeard coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched his abdomen tightly with both hands, and staggered backward, his body going limp as he half-knelt on the ground.
"What... what kind of ability is this!?"
He could feel that his abdomen had been pierced from the inside, but there was no visible wound on the outside, which was extremely bizarre.
The Whitebeard Pirates were extremely anxious when they saw Whitebeard's condition. They rushed towards Whitebeard recklessly, and one pirate after another was turned into ashes by Akainu's magma.
Senga glanced sideways at the fearless Whitebeard Pirates members behind him, then turned to Whitebeard and said...
"Whitebeard, your sons are indeed excellent, but unfortunately, you will ultimately perish here today."
Whitebeard struggled to his feet, gathering a shockwave in his fist and blasting it towards Senga from a distance.
Senga shook her head and said softly,
Why bother?
With a casual wave of his hand, the shockwave unleashed by Whitebeard was instantly dispersed into the air. Senga then clenched his fist tightly around Whitebeard's arm.
"Black Coffin."
Two dark figures emerged from either side of Whitebeard, then suddenly closed together, forming a black coffin that enveloped Whitebeard's body, leaving only his face exposed.
Whitebeard tried his best to break free from the Black Coffin, but under the pull of darkness, it was already a miracle that he could keep his physical body intact, let alone break free.
At this moment, only the muscles in Whitebeard's face could move. He stared wide-eyed as Senga approached him, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Am I really getting old?
For the first time, Whitebeard questioned his own strength, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
"No! This Purple Kirin is a monster! He's not human at all!"
Shanks, seeing Whitebeard's situation, immediately wanted to go to his rescue, but Big Mom clung to him like a leech.
Even though his strength far surpassed that of Big Mom, he was still unable to break free from the clutches of a fearless Four Emperors and could only watch helplessly as Senga walked up to Whitebeard.
Senga's Rinnegan remained calm and still, as if he didn't take the Whitebeard known as "the World's Strongest Man" seriously. He asked indifferently,
"Whitebeard, do you have any last words?"
Looking at the young face before him, the Whitebeard sighed softly and said,
"You must have your eye on my Tremor-Tremor Fruit, right? Take it if you want it. I have only one request: spare my sons' lives!"
"Dad!!!"
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into tears. They were so close to Whitebeard, yet Akainu stood before them like an insurmountable wall, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Senga ignored the commotion behind him and shook his head at the Whitebeard.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. I don't need your permission at all to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
These words immediately plunged Whitebeard's spirits to rock bottom, but Senga's next words rekindled his hope.
"I'll spare their lives, but I want you to say one thing in front of everyone."
"What did you say?"
Senga stared into the Whitebeard's eyes, and a voice echoed in his mind.
"Just shout, 'One Piece is a hoax! It doesn't exist!'"
"What!?"
