Meanwhile, on Onigashima, inside the mirror that Katakuri was desperately protecting.
A gigantic hand reached out from it.
This hand doesn't look strong; it even looks a bit chubby. The arm is white and tender, and the skin is a bit loose.
But even with just this one hand, Jin, who was quietly preening his wings, couldn't help but stop what he was doing!
Sitting in the main seat, watching the oversized dress gradually disappear into the mirror, Kaido immediately exhaled two puffs of white breath from his nose. He then angrily gulped down a large mouthful of sake and smashed the sake jug directly on the ground.
"Oh!"
It seems they heard it, or perhaps they sensed Kaido's actions using their Observation Haki.
The Big Mom grinned widely, sticking her head and shoulders out of the mirror, and said in a flippant tone.
"You dare to give me, the one who helped you, such a sour look!"
Kaido, I thought you were impolite enough when we last met.
You were far more rude than I expected!
As soon as she finished speaking, the Big Mom, supporting herself on her glasses, strode out.
After stepping onto the dust-covered ground, she took a deep breath.
"Phew, this incredibly strong smell of gunpowder really makes me nostalgic!"
And also, ugh!
The bandages on your face are giving me a really good time!
I never imagined you'd end up like this! Just the last time we met, we considered Gawain our own territory as our hypothetical enemy!
As she said this, the Big Mom took two steps closer to Kaido, waving her hand with a cold smile as she went.
"Back then, you were incredibly arrogant, saying things that insulted my son and even claiming that helping me was out of pity for me."
So now, Kaido, do you still want to humiliate me?
Or to put it more bluntly, you bastard, do you want to be thoroughly humiliated by me right now?!
Boom!
As soon as the Big Mom finished speaking, she angrily raised her right foot, stomping on the ground nearby and creating ripples like those of a lake.
Immediately afterwards, Zeus and Prometheus happened to float out of the mirror and, seeing their mother's anger, immediately unleashed fire and Inazuma in response!
Suddenly, thunderclouds billowed over Onigashima, and flames erupted everywhere.
Facing the Big Mom with such an attitude, Kaido gritted his teeth, stood up unhappily, and nodded sharply at Big Mom.
"I understand, Linlin, I know what I should do!"
Damn it!!!
Now, you obese old woman, listen up! I'll only say it once, just once!!!
I... I'm so grateful for your help, Linlin!
I'm so damn grateful to you!!!
After saying that, Kaido, seemingly enraged, slammed his spiked club into the ground.
Those who know him well can see that a slight blush has appeared on Kaido's face, which is usually difficult to read.
Seemingly noticing that little bit of redness, the Big Mom paused for a moment, then clenched her fist with immense satisfaction.
Hahahaha!!!
Amidst a series of loud laughs, the Big Mom took off her hat, which instantly transformed into an enormous Western-style longsword!
"Very good, you actually managed to do that. Although your voice wasn't sincere at all, I only care about the process and the content!"
Since you've expressed such sincere gratitude, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for your enemies to continue swaggering in front of you?!
The Big Mom suddenly turned her head, her eyes fixed on the Dark Bird Ship in the distance.
In her eyes, Gawain's figure standing at the bow of the ship seemed to be glowing.
Staring intently at Gawain, whose eyes seemed to radiate holy light, the Big Mom raised her longsword, Napoleon, high.
"Do you still remember that move from back then, Kaido? It's been a long time since we practiced that move!"
"Of course I remember. It's embarrassing to say it, but I can hardly forget those things!"
Faced with Linlin's question, Kaido came to Linlin side and raised his Hassaikai once more!
The two weapons first clashed in mid-air, and then, Kaido's Haki and Linlin's Haki inexplicably merged together.
They seemed to be intertwined, their auras completely blended together!
In the distance, aboard the Dark Bird Ship, Rayleigh, seeing Big Mom and Kaido striking such poses, stroked his beard with great interest.
"Captain, be careful! What you're about to see is probably the strongest move on the high seas!"
How nostalgic! I haven't seen this move in thirty years!
Back when those two young men weren't monsters yet, they were able to use this move together to fight Roger's strongest move to a standstill!
Now, those young people have become new monsters, even the biggest monsters on the ocean!
I really don't know how powerful this move they're using now will be!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh gripped his sword more tightly without making a sound. According to the plan, Issho and Gion were supposed to rest at this time.
I wonder if Gawain and I can even barely withstand their attacks!
Unexpectedly, just as Rayleigh was thinking this, Mihawk suddenly stepped forward and blocked Rayleigh behind him!
At that moment, Mihawk gripped the scabbard of Night in his backhand, assuming a ready-to-go stance.
He gripped his sword and, without turning his head, spoke to Rayleigh.
"I'm sorry, the opportunity I've been waiting for has actually appeared in front of me like this!"
Therefore, no one can compete with me for the chance to directly confront this move, not even if you are an old man or the legendary Dark King!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk drew his Black Blade, Night, with a swift motion.
One step, two steps, he slowly approached the ship's side, staring intently at the two monsters opposite him who were already prepared.
On Onigashima, Kaido grinned displeasedly upon seeing Mihawk standing at the forefront from afar.
"You're really arrogant. Even when we use moves like this, you're too lazy to stand up and fight us personally!"
"Haha, not bad, really not bad. Although he's a bit timid, his personality is stable enough. After having a child with him, that child might be more suitable to manage the pirate crew than my current daughters!!!"
Kaido and Big Mom each muttered something, then they both looked at each other.
The moment their eyes met, the endless clouds were torn apart and gathered together by their combined aura, lingering above their heads for a long time!
Immediately afterwards, Kaido and Big Mom turned forward, their hands gripping their weapons.
Click!
Boom!!!
With a sudden clap of thunder, Kaido and Big Mom excitedly brandished their weapons!
"Elbaf Sea Conqueror!!!"
In that instant, almost the only sounds left in the world were the roars from Kaido and Big Mom.
In a short moment, the momentum they had accumulated was released through their respective weapons.
The two auras converged in the air, then merged into a dazzling and deadly wave powerful enough to tear everything apart!
Sensing the sudden onslaught of the Sea Conqueror, Mihawk's eyes widened for a moment. He gripped his sword tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and without a word, swung the Black Blade in his hands!
Wow!
In just a moment, Mihawk's knife had stopped in front of him.
He was just like an ordinary beginner in swordsmanship, delivering a powerful slash from a horse stance.
But even though he had stopped moving, the air in front of him suddenly tore open.
Kola!
Kara!!!
Accompanied by a series of sounds like paper being torn, a few cracks suddenly appeared in the space in front of Mihawk, and those cracks rushed toward the location from which Sea Conqueror was attacking!
Sizzle...
It sounds like a mosquito biting into muscle.
It was as if nothing had happened.
There was no shockwave, no air blast. All Gawain saw was... the shockwave from the Sea Conqueror paused briefly in the air before breaking through Mihawk's sword energy and continuing its charge toward the figurehead of the Dark Bird Ship!
Seeing this, Mihawk's expression darkened slightly. He truly hadn't expected that his most prized swordsmanship wouldn't be able to stop the combined attack of Kaido and Big Mom.
Just as Mihawk was expressing his dissatisfaction, Gawain and Rayleigh exchanged a glance, and in the next instant, they stood on the left and right, one in red and one in gold, directly blocking Sea Conqueror's path with their swords!
Sizzle!!!
A moment later, Gawain and Rayleigh's shirts were suddenly ripped apart, exposing their well-defined muscles to the air.
Besides the clothes, Rayleigh's hand was instantly torn open, and Gawain's arm was also covered in red marks, a result of numerous ruptured capillaries.
"This... is incredibly powerful!!!"
Despite the increasingly intense tearing sensation, Gawain gripped Shusui tightly with both hands and pushed towards Sea Conqueror with all his might.
Beside him, Rayleigh gripped his longsword tightly with trembling arms, letting out a muffled groan of resentment.
"I'm truly getting old. Besides, the way those two used that move was incredibly powerful!!!"
"I'll do it!!!"
As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Mihawk roared and instantly rushed behind Gawain and Rayleigh.
He gathered all his strength once more and slashed the Black Blade Night between Gawain and Rayleigh!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
In what seemed like an eternity of torment to Gawain, the three of them exerted their combined strength and managed to push Sea Conqueror back slightly.
However, retreating was already the limit. Even if they combined their strength, they couldn't possibly deflect Kaido and Linlin's combined attack back as planned!
In this stalemate, Sea Conqueror's power became increasingly sluggish, seemingly reaching a critical point, and Gawain let out an uneasy low growl.
"That's about it!"
"That's enough!"
"Smash it!!!"
Sizzle...
Boom!!!
Buzz buzz buzz!
In the blink of an eye, Sea Conqueror was completely intercepted by the three of them, and the remaining frenzied power suddenly spread out in all directions.
In the distance, facing the remaining shockwaves from the Sea Conqueror, the Dark Bird Ship slid sideways for hundreds of meters, and even the Onigashima changed position!
Sasa sasa sasa!!!
Gawain and the other two retreated to the deck of the Dark Bird Ship, their appearance drawing worried glances from the others.
Anyone could see that the three of them had been at a disadvantage in the previous exchange.
But before anyone could say anything, two of the three figures disappeared again. Gawain and Mihawk had left Rayleigh behind and continued charging towards Kaido and Big Mom!
Watching the two of them sprint away, Rayleigh lowered his brows in envy, then shook his head in disappointment.
"It's so good to be young, sigh..."
Just as Rayleigh sighed, Gawain had already rushed in front of Kaido. With a thunderous roar, Kaido raised the Hassaikai and forcefully caught Gawain's Shusui!
Meanwhile, Black Blade Yoru was perched high above Big Mom's Napoleon, feeling the power emanating from Black Blade Yoru. Mihawk chuckled excitedly.
"Over the years, I've never had the chance to have a proper match with you!"
As the World's Strongest, as one of the Four Emperors, and even more so as my... so-called senior!
Charlotte Linlin, please excite me as much as possible!!!
"Heh, what an arrogant brat! But you're not the one I'm interested in!"
Despite the slash from the Black Blade Yoru, Big Mom grinned and then turned to Kaido, saying...
"This troublesome brat is yours, Gawain is mine!"
Emperor's Sword!!!
"Interesting!"
Upon hearing the Big Mom's voice, Gawain suddenly turned around and raised Shusui, forcefully withstanding the Big Mom's slash.
At the same time, Kaido shook his head unhappily and muttered a curse.
"Damn it, don't steal my opponent, you damned woman!"
Despite saying that, he immediately raised his spiked club and fired a basic Raimei Hakke at Mihawk to distract him.
Looking at the Raimei Hakke, Mihawk's brows furrowed slightly.
"The Azure Dragon, it is indeed an interesting enemy. Slaying a dragon is an achievement for any swordsman!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk actually raised his left hand and forcefully blocked Kaido's Raimei Hakke with his arm.
At the same time, he swung his Black Blade with his right hand, leaving a wound on Kaido in a short moment!
Feeling the wound in his chest, Kaido was slightly taken aback, then his eyes turned red with excitement.
"What a sharp sword, what a sharp man! It's just a pity that this sword wasn't struck at a life-or-death moment!"
Although this sword strike was quite magnificent, in my old eyes, it was inferior to Oden's sword strike!
Because you, you little brat, never think you'll fail, and you certainly don't think you'll die!
Therefore, your sword can never be as full of a man's will and determination to risk everything as Oden then!
Kundali Longsheng Army!!!
Clang!!!
With a thunderous clang as the sword clashed with the spiked club, Gawain Wenhua transformed into lightning, bypassing the Big Mom's Emperor's Sword and appearing beside Big Mom.
Holding the knife in both hands, Gawain suddenly plunged the blade into the Big Mom's arm!
Buzzing!!!
To Gawain's surprise, despite being a monster himself, his sword couldn't even cut through the Big Mom's skin!
Most importantly, the Big Mom hadn't used Armament Haki yet at this point!
Although this wasn't a strike delivered with his full power, Gawain was almost certain that his attack was enough to defeat an ordinary Shichibukai.
Even with such an attack, the Big Mom didn't need Armament Haki; she could withstand it all with her body, which was like Iron Balloon!
Shocked, Gawain couldn't help but re-examine the Big Mom.
As expected of Charlotte Linlin, who can be called the World's Strongest talent, the Iron Balloon is terrifying!
As Gawain looked at himself, the Big Mom stretched her arms and gave Gawain a rather interested smile.
Slurp~~~.
The Big Mom's tongue unconsciously circled around her lips.
At the same time, Gawain's unease suddenly intensified.
Why?
Why exactly?
Gawain clearly didn't believe that his speed would lead to his death.
But his Observation Haki was telling him that he was about to die?!
Just as Gawain was feeling this way, the Big Mom suddenly spoke up!
"Hey, Gawain, marry me, be my last man, okay?!"
All right...
At that moment, Gawain finally understood.
So... even dying in a company is still dying...!
