Big Mom's New Son
This battle attracted attention early on; after all, such a significant event could not be concealed and had already been spread through Den Den Mushi).
All the pirates on the island were wiped out. Vergo's overwhelming strength was no match for them. Under Sakazuki's orders, all the pirates were executed on the spot. As Marine Admiral, he had the authority to do so.
Impel Down's capacity is nearing its limit, barely maintaining balance on the Grand Line.
Unless they are pirates with Devil Fruit abilities, to prevent the fruit from being reborn on the sea after the user's death and eaten by others, even the weakest Devil Fruit user will be sent to Impel Down.
Led by Vergo, the group of navy personnel watched quietly.
The battle between the two was not yet over. Sakazuki gradually put pressure on Weevil, and Weevil's decline in condition did not last long.
They quickly realized this instinctively, adjusted themselves, and, disregarding the expenditure of their energy, showed a tendency to fight even more bravely.
Without the suppression of Bakin, Weevil's intelligence grew rapidly in battle.
Originally, Weevil didn't have any particularly sophisticated techniques; he mostly relied on sheer brute force in battle, and he didn't encounter many formidable enemies along the way.
Under Sakazuki's pressure, Weevil is growing, not only in terms of Conqueror's Haki, but also in his learning ability.
He was fighting a young Whitebeard. Weevil was fighting back, desperately fighting back, his anger driving him to disregard everything, even trading blows for blows.
This is the most advantageous way for him to play, because he is physically stronger than Sakazuki.
The lava scorched Weevil's body. Generally speaking, Weevil was simple-minded, which is why he showed unexpected stubbornness after Bakin's death.
His entire right arm was covered in burn scars.
The young sword had disappeared; it had been knocked away by Sakazuki during the battle and was engulfed by lava and melted before it could be retrieved.
Weevil lost his weapon, but his fighting ability was not weakened; instead, he had to face Sakazuki's lava head-on.
Every punch lands hard, a head-on clash, lava and impact.
At this moment, Sakazuki's advantage began to show: the scorching heat coming into direct contact with Weevil's body.
The toxic fumes in the air constantly have a negative impact on people. Although they cannot kill the enemy, they are just a little uncomfortable for the strong, like a stomachache, but they will pass quickly.
However, in prolonged combat, this could give Sakazuki a significant advantage.
Even the Weevil monster's physique was inevitably affected over this long period of time.
My lungs have accumulated a lot of toxins, which makes me feel unwell during the fight.
Is Weevil going to die?
Many people have this question: it seems that Weevil is now completely surrounded by the navy and has no way to escape, and he is also being suppressed by Sakazuki.
The Whitebeard Pirates made no move.
This is a large family bound by kinship. Edward Weevil himself had no connection with the Whitebeard Pirates. The sudden appearance of someone who is related to Whitebeard by blood would disrupt the unity of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Besides, Edward Weevil was a fool, or so the sea thought.
His style was cruel and vicious, which was inconsistent with Whitebeard's character.
Bakin is also dead. The two of them were already lone wolves bound together on the high seas. With Weevil all alone, who would be willing to rescue Weevil?
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku observed the battle. The current situation was basically in his grasp, but he felt little joy.
The closer he gets to victory, the more cautious he becomes; this has been the case for years, with operations rarely going smoothly.
He recalled the information he had gathered about Bakin and Weevil in recent times.
The two of them disappeared for a period of time, and then reappeared, heading to the Night Pirates. Judging from the route they took, they probably came from the territory of the Big Mom Pirates.
In other words, during the time they disappeared, they were in Big Mom Pirates' territory, or rather, they were taken to Big Mom Pirates' territory by them.
"Big Mom, Big Mom..." Sengoku kept thinking, feeling that there might be something wrong, who had set a trap, and most importantly, Big Mom wouldn't let Bakin and Weevil leave so easily.
However, he doesn't have any concrete evidence.
The current situation is not entirely under our control.
"Vergo, take action now. We've had enough time; let's resolve this as soon as possible."
That little bit of doubt in his heart was enough to avoid any accidents. That was New World, and in the beginning of that New World, there were too many unpredictable monsters. He didn't know what would happen next.
Therefore, he did not intend to let Vergo watch him like this, and wanted to capture or kill Weevil as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Sengoku noticed the scene in the video and his expression changed drastically.
"Damn it!" Sengoku slammed his hand on the table; his ominous premonition had come true.
On the other side.
"Yes, Marshal!" Vergo put down the Den Den Mushi and immediately began his operation.
A pair of enormous wings sprouted from his back, transforming him into Human-Beast Form. At this moment, Vergo seemed to have become an eagle-man, quickly flying towards the area on the island where the two were fighting.
High above the clouds, Katakuri observed the entire battle, searching for the right moment for them to strike.
On one side, there were two Den Den Mushi that were already turned on.
Noticing that Vergo had already taken action, Katakuri knew that the time was almost right. Bakin was dead, and all they had to do was rescue Weevil.
The reason we waited until now was to exhaust the Navy and Weevil's stamina.
How can we gain Weevil 'Weevil genuine gratitude if we don't instill a sense of crisis in him?
"Mom, it's time to make your move," Katakuri said to a Den Den Mushi.
"MOM, MOM, we can't wait any longer!"
Upon hearing Cake Castle 'Katakuri words, Big Mom's face lit up with an excited smile. She quickly finished the dessert in front of her, wiped her mouth, and strode towards the mirror on the side.
"Hahaha..." A mesmerizing laugh echoed within the mirror space.
Further beneath the surface of the sea near Uso Island, a ship belonging to the Big Mom Pirates was enveloped in a smiling membrane. Even the coating could transform into Homie, making it much more stable than ordinary membranes.
The ship remained hidden beneath the surface of the sea and was never discovered.
Big Mom's figure stepped out of the mirror, and on the ship, her children, led by Perospero, all bowed their heads respectfully.
"Mother!"
And so, Big Mom traveled across millions of miles of ocean from Cake Castle to Uso Island.
"Hahaha! MOM! My good son, Mommy is coming to save you!" Big Mom laughed as the pirate ship broke through the water. At this point, there was no need to hide anymore.
Leaping onto Zeus the Thundercloud's back, wielding Napoleon, with his blood-red cloak billowing behind him, Prometheus followed Big Mom, transforming the small sun into a blazing fireball.
Ignoring her other children, all she wanted now was to bring Weevil under her control as soon as possible. This would greatly enhance the overall strength of the Big Mom Pirates, allowing them to head straight for Uso Island.
Meanwhile, Perospero and his colleagues were still struggling to understand the relationship between Weevil and them.
Logically, Weevil should be their father, but if the plan goes smoothly, Weevil will become their family member, their brother.
It's all quite chaotic, especially after Weevil's child was born.
Never mind, as long as Mom is happy.
They hurriedly steered their pirate ship to give chase, needing to demonstrate greater power to force the navy to leave.
The mother is still pregnant, and although fighting won't affect the child's growth, it's best to avoid physical violence if possible.
The Big Mom Pirates now practically all out in force, with Katakuri already waiting, and other high-level fighters like Perospero, Smoker, and Cracker on board.
That is to say, their bodies have become enormous, and the members who studied in Elbaf and improved relations between the two forces have not yet arrived.
The weather was sunny and dry due to the high temperature of the magma.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, then dark clouds gathered, a strong wind arose, and lightning flashed.
In the New World, the only ones capable of causing this are Kaido and Big Mom. If Kaido needs some time, Big Mom doesn't need any at all.
The Homie possess the ability to manipulate natural elements. With their ability to imbue others with souls, Big Mom has always been known as the "Weather Queen," able to control the weather at will.
Big Mom appeared, her imposing figure flying in from afar on thunderclouds, and stood there in the air.
Following closely behind was Great Pirate ship flying the flag of the Big Mom Pirates, spreading the song.
The Reporter Bird, realizing what was happening, switched their cameras to Big Mom and her children under orders from the World Economic News, giving them close-ups.
The appearance of the Big Mom Pirates, with Big Mom herself taking action after a long period of silence, and in such an unexpected way, as if she suddenly appeared, is truly astonishing.
This excited many people; the scenario of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits began to unfold before their eyes.
Regardless of what the Big Mom Pirates' goal is—whether it's Weevil or the Navy—things are getting interesting.
In recent years, there has indeed been very little news about Big Mom. Ever since the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates formed an alliance through marriage, and the Big Mom Pirates formed an alliance with the Giant race of Elbaf, she has never left Whole Cake Island.
The battle itself was already attracting considerable attention, and the original script of Marine Admiral avenging his teacher was completely changed, causing the news to spread rapidly and attracting even more viewers.
"It seems the operation is going to fail." Vergo paused in mid-air, watching Big Mom's figure and thinking to himself.
The appearance of this monster has already disrupted the balance, and there are many more powerful members of the Big Mom Pirates behind it.
Big Mom alone would require him and Sakazuki to team up to deal with her.
Sakazuki isn't at his peak now. Even at his peak, though he could fight Big Mom for days and nights, he would eventually be defeated.
Moreover, Sakazuki has not yet reached his true peak, and his strength can still improve slowly. After all, the Navy has the most systematic training methods, and his body does not have many hidden injuries. He is still in his growth period, albeit at a slower pace.
Big Mom, however, is even more powerful.
The exercise she did after each dessert session made Big Mom realize that she could still improve her strength, so she kept at it, and her fighting power increased as a result.
With Big Mom's arrival, Sakazuki's battle with Weevil has ceased.
Clenching his fists, he stared intently at Big Mom, then glanced at the pirate ship belonging to Big Mom Pirates in the distance.
In terms of combat strength, they are at a huge disadvantage.
Regardless of Big Mom's target—whether it's him or Weevil —it's not a good thing for the Navy.
Sengoku now understands, even if some details are still unclear, Big Mom's target is undoubtedly Edward Weevil, and importantly, Bakin is already dead.
"How dare they use our navy!" Sengoku could hardly contain his anger. His intuition told him that the navy had been used as a tool to kill Bakin, and that Big Mom would take over Weevil afterward.
Throughout this process, the navy failed to detect a single problem, and now, the spoils are about to be seized.
How could the Sengoku, where others were always being outmaneuvered by him, accept this?
With Big Mom personally taking action and all the key executives present, Katakuri is very likely hiding in the shadows, primarily to guard against the potential arrival of Borsalino.
As for why they didn't stay at their base, the Navy knows that the Big Mom Pirates have the ability to move across regions, meaning they can leave at any time.
"Big Mom, what do you want to do here?" Sakazuki asked seriously, though he probably knew in his heart that the Big Mom Pirates had no reason to come here specifically for him.
"MOM, MOM! You magma brat, get the hell out of my sight!" Big Mom showed no mercy to Sakazuki. Even with Napoleon on her shoulder, she still didn't take Sakazuki seriously.
Sakazuki wasn't even born when she became famous at sea.
Even Weevil couldn't solve it in a short time, which is why Big Mom underestimated Sakazuki.
This is further evidenced by her own formidable strength, which gives her the confidence to disregard Sakazuki.
Absolute power, monstrous physique—the current "Iron Balloon" body is a far cry from what it once was.
There is also a hidden fourth Homie.
If Sakazuki dares to make a move, she wouldn't mind showing him what absolute power truly is.
Sakazuki suppressed his anger and refrained from making a move. The monstrous powerhouses from the Big Mom Pirates who had stepped onto the island also stood high in the sky, Katakuri with his trident locked onto his body.
Such formidable combat power made him hesitant to act rashly. Weevil was important, but there would be other opportunities in the future. If they suffered any losses, the blow to the Navy would be extremely severe.
One thing that cannot be ignored is that behind the Big Mom Pirates stands a huge shadow: the Night Pirates.
"Brubrub!"
"Retreat!"
Vergo's Den Den Mushi rang, transmitting Sengoku's orders.
Looking at Sakazuki, he knew he had heard it too.
This was the best decision. The navy suffered no losses, and his efforts were not in vain; he dealt with thousands of pirates.
The Navy left, leaving only the Big Mom Pirates and Weevil on the island.
Weevil knelt on the ground, holding the tiny bones of Bakin that he had protected in his hands, and wept bitterly.
"Mom! You're dead, what am I going to do?"
Tears kept flowing.
Big Mom, with a smile on her face, slowly walked over, stood in front of Weevil, opened her arms and hugged Weevil. "Poor baby, your mother is dead. She certainly wouldn't want to see you so sad. From now on, I will be your mother."
Big Mom's voice startled Weevil slightly. He looked up at Big Mom and exclaimed, "Mom!"
The appearance of Big Mom brought a ray of light to Weevil, who was in despair, and it was incredibly warm, as if he had found a pillar of support.
"Oh, my darling, look at you, you must be starving! Let's go home and have something delicious to eat."
Hearing Weevil call her name, Big Mom gave her a warm, maternal smile. She was quite adept at dealing with children. She took Weevil's hand and led him toward the pirate ship.
Upon hearing about food, Weevil offered no resistance and was led away by Big Mom.
Things went even more smoothly than expected. Big Mom managed to kidnap Weevil and return directly to Cake Castle through the mirror. Watching Weevil devour his food, Big Mom couldn't hide her joy and burst into excited laughter.
Although we don't know what Big Mom said, countless people saw the scene of Weevil being taken away by Big Mom.
They all realized that Weevil seemed to have joined the Big Mom Pirates.
But deep down, they couldn't quite believe that such a powerful force had fallen into Big Mom's hands.
"Weevil, from now on your name will be Charlotte Weevil." Big Mom was very satisfied as she looked at Weevil, who had eaten her fill.
"Huh? Why change my surname? I'm Whitebeard's son. Oh right, I can still go find my father." Weevil was a little confused, then suddenly realized what he meant when he thought of his identity as Whitebeard's son.
Thinking about this, Weevil felt a surge of excitement.
"Because your mother's surname is Charlotte, and you are her child, you naturally also have the surname Charlotte," Perospero said with a sinister smile, sticking out his long tongue. "As for you, you can't go looking for Whitebeard."
"Why?" Weevil was puzzled.
"Because Whitebeard is a bastard who abandoned his wife and children. You and your previous mother were both abandoned by Whitebeard. Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to see you all these years, leaving you two lonely and starving?"
"And he himself, on the other hand, is with a group of children he adopted?"
"Did Whitebeard abandon me and Mom?" Weevil's face turned fierce. Perospero's words made perfect sense. Compared to Whitebeard, whom he had never met, Weevil was closer to Big Mom, who had saved him and was now his family, and who provided him with delicious food.
The way the Charlotte Family members called him "brother" and "sister" gave Weevil a different feeling; it warmed his heart, as if this was the true warmth of home.
"That's right, it was Whitebeard who hurt you and your dead mother." Perospero laughed excitedly, secretly slandering Whitebeard, which gave him a strange sense of pleasure.
The others looked at Perospero with some surprise. With such words, he had so casually thwarted Weevil's idea of finding Whitebeard and turned them into enemies. He truly deserved to be the family's top strategist.
Mondo couldn't help but sigh that he still needed to learn more from his brother's resourcefulness. Daring to speak to Whitebeard like that, he would be finished if Whitebeard found out.
Big Mom breathed a sigh of relief; her son, whom she had painstakingly adopted, had almost run away.
"Then my enemies are Whitebeard and the Navy. I must avenge my mother!" Even after acknowledging Big Mom as his new mother and initially replacing Bakin.
Bakin's nearly thirty years of upbringing have an influence that cannot be easily erased.
"Don't worry, my good son, your family will help you. First, get to know our home and your family, and soon we'll help you cause trouble for the navy."
Getting Weevil makes it all worthwhile. Causing trouble for the Navy is no big deal; after all, even Kaido isn't in any real danger.
