How Terrifying Was Gai, the One Who Played Dirty?

The billowing black smoke and flames began to dissipate.

What came into view was an enormous crater stretching beyond sight. Vast quantities of magma erupted and flowed within it, while terrifying fissures crisscrossed in every direction and extended into the sea, triggering massive tsunamis.

The temperature at the center was scorching—hotter even than anything Archino had managed to produce so far.

Not even the ruins of the towns remained.

Cake Island had been shattered into several pieces. Just a few more high-intensity explosions, and it would be completely torn apart.

Wreathed in an evil aura of flames, Chaos fell from the golden flower-covered avenue and came to a stop atop the magma, his gaze fixed in one direction.

Just as he had suspected.

Big Mom was still alive.

But she was in a pitiful state.

Her supposedly invulnerable iron body was now covered in wounds, blood pouring from them.

And that was with Prometheus, Zeus, and Armament Haki protecting her. Otherwise, she would have died on the spot.

"Gaia!"

Blood spilled from Big Mom's mouth. Her hair was disheveled, her face deathly pale. Standing in the magma with Napoleon in hand, she glared savagely at Chaos, her eyes filled with hatred and malice.

The entire Cake Chateau had been reduced to dust.

Perospero hadn't even had a chance to struggle. As for the other members of the Charlotte Family, they had all been wiped out by Great Ivan's art.

The only one left alive was Charlotte Linlin herself.

He'd wiped them all out in one go.

Luckily, Katakuri, Cracker, and the others had been outside. Otherwise, they would've been gravely injured by that blast, even if they had survived!

"As expected of a woman I once admired. When it comes to having children, I'm willing to call you the strongest.
