Big Mom was thrown into chaos as her rage exploded under the barrage of repeated blows.
The unexpected turn of events prevented Big Mom from letting out her strange scream. The plan seemed to have failed.
Shiryu of the Rain frowned at the scene before him. "What now? Should we make a move?"
"No rush. Let's keep watching." Dawn remained calm.
Though some details had changed, everything was still proceeding smoothly. Moving too early would put the enemy on guard, and that was not what Dawn wanted.
Sure enough, once Brook understood why Big Mom had not gone berserk, Capone Bege immediately chose to defect, throwing the scene into chaos once more.
Luffy grabbed Nun's portrait and moved to show it to Big Mom, but Katakuri naturally would not let Straw Hat succeed. Mochi seized Straw Hat and pinned him to the ground.
But Straw Hat's arms stretched out, once again holding Nun's shattered portrait before Big Mom's eyes.
"Ah... ah..."
The broken photograph forced Big Mom to face reality. Overwhelmed by despair, Big Mom tremblingly reached for the shattered picture.
"Mom, don't!!"
Katakuri's roar was useless. Big Mom still took Nun's shattered photograph into her hands.
"Heh, the show's starting!"
Holding a Den Den Mushi, Dawn watched from above with a faint smile. "Everything is going according to plan. We can move now. Big Mom is about to go berserk, and the Den Den Mushi may cut off at any moment. Listen carefully."
"Is that so? Understood. I'll have Kizaru and Fujitora break into Whole Cake Island. The army will follow shortly!"
After receiving Dawn's message, Sakazuki could not help but tense up. Then a tremendous shriek came through from the other end, and the Den Den Mushi immediately disconnected.
"Nun... Nun..."
Tears slowly streamed from Big Mom's eyes.
