Beneath the tranquil night sky, a battle that could erupt at any moment was brewing.
No one had expected something like this to happen on the eve of the wedding.
"I mean you, you old hag."
Lina remained calm and composed.
Everyone around her, however, was on edge.
She was crazy!!
That woman was absolutely crazy!!
Judge's eyes widened.
Everyone knew Big Mom was trying to intimidate them, but he had never imagined Lina would dare to stand up to her like that!
That conceited idiot!
Did she really think she could take on Big Mom?!
"You...!"
"How dare you!!"
Thud, thud, thud, thud!!
The table and the ground began to shake, making the dishes rattle against one another.
Big Mom's eyes glowed red as her anger rose. Her Conqueror's Haki and the fearsome power of her Soul-Soul Fruit erupted at once!
"Submit...!"
"Or die...!"
"Come on, Black Snake Lina. I'll give you a choice."
Looking down at Lina, Big Mom wore a sinister grin as a purplish-red glow radiated from her body.
"Slave...!"
"Or... life!"
A fierce wind whipped through the garden, and an overwhelming aura filled the area, threatening everyone present!
"W-what's going on?!"
"What's this strange aura?!"
Sanji and the others gritted their teeth, their expressions grave.
"Oh no, Sanji! That's Mama's Soul Pocus!"
Terrified and worried, Pudding cried, "Mama can control souls. She can judge people by asking them a question and take away their lifespan."
"Take away their lifespan?!"
Fear showed in Nami's eyes. How could anyone have such an unfair power?!
She immediately looked toward Lina, worried!
But...
The wind gradually died down, and the dishes on the table stopped shaking.
Seeing Lina still sitting there, calm beneath Big Mom's pressure, Nami couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"But... Lina looks like she's completely fine?"
"This..."
