Buggy vs. Big Mom Pirates (Conclusion)
On the Ark Maxim in the sky, Charlotte Katakuri fought Enel and Gild Tesoro alone. His Observation Haki surpassed Enel's, and he also possessed Armament Haki. His strength and speed were even greater than Rusukaina had trained for two years on the deserted island of Luffy. Although Enel fell from the Sky Island into the Blue Sea and was constantly transforming, he relied too much on his Devil Fruit ability and could not make up for his weakness in physical combat. Even though his Devil Fruit ability was powerful, he was no match for Charlotte Katakuri in a one-on-one fight.
However, he is not fighting alone now. With Gild Tesoro's perfect control over the gold supporting him, Enel's size and the power of his moves have both increased to a new level, giving him a firm upper hand in the battle against Charlotte Katakuri!
Inside the castle, Buggy and Charlotte Linlin were engaged in an extremely fierce battle, with dust and rubble flying everywhere, and the Homies who had been given souls were trembling.
Cracker, whose fighting strength is second only to Charlotte Katakuri, focused all his attention on this battle. Compared to outsiders, he was one of Charlotte Linlin's children who had the most contact with her and knew Charlotte Linlin's physical condition best, so he was prepared to take action at any time.
Charlotte Moscato and her companions, who possessed relatively outstanding abilities in internal affairs and coordination, had already left the castle and gone to the town center to appease the people and direct their evacuation, reducing casualties caused by the lightning strikes. However, due to Big Mom's frequent Hunger Pangs, the people of Whole Cake Island, while terrified by the apocalyptic scene, had not lost their ability to think and act.
As for Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Smoothie, who are Charlotte Family members known for their excellent combat skills, some tried to disperse the Thundercloud in the sky, while others tried to approach the Ark Maxim, which was hundreds of meters high. However, they couldn't use the elasticity of the mochi to launch themselves up like Charlotte Katakuri. Others, like Cracker, focused their attention on Charlotte Linlin, preparing to intervene.
Although the Big Mom Pirates had a large number of members, they were unable to exert any advantage at this moment.
"Um?"
Buggy suddenly realized something and kicked Charlotte Linlin in the stomach, sending her flying into the wall, shattering the rock and sending dust billowing down.
The instant Charlotte Linlin was kicked out, Cracker burst out of the Book World, his entire Biscuit Soldier enveloped in Armament Haki, his six biscuit arms adorned with jet-black Pretzel, as he charged furiously towards Buggy!
Smoothie moved almost simultaneously, thrusting her three-meter-long sword straight at him without any fancy moves, the sharp blade flashing a light as bright as spring water.
Buggy, who had originally intended to press his advantage against Charlotte Linlin, quickly dodged to the side and unleashed a spinning slashing airflow that collided with Cracker and Smoothie, causing a powerful explosion!
As the dust from the explosion dissipated, Cracker and Smoothie didn't immediately retaliate. Instead, they kept a watchful eye on Buggy while protecting Charlotte Linlin, whose body was half-hidden against the wall. "Are you alright, Mom?"
Charlotte Linlin's eyes were bloodshot, and she was breathing heavily in pain. The sadness caused by the broken nun's photo surged up again, and her complexion and condition immediately became visibly worse.
"Fine, I've had enough fun today..."
Buggy's eyes darted between Cracker and Smoothie, then he glanced at Charlotte Linlin, who was being protected. A satisfied smile gradually spread across his lips. He then leaped out of the castle, lingering briefly in the air as he surveyed the people below and those hidden in the Book World. "Well... before I go, I'll give you one more gift!"
He clenched his fists and suddenly slammed them to the sides. Four or five spatial rifts spread from the center of his fists, and the shattered spatial power erupted in unique directions!
The entire Whole Cake Island began to shake slightly, and a tsunami nearly 100 meters high surged up, crashing in from all sides of the island, destroying, submerging, and burying the docked ships and rows of houses with devastating force. In the eyes of countless people on the island, it seemed to transform into the nightmare they had just experienced, bringing suffocation and despair.
Buggy burst forth with incredible speed, instantly breaking through the heating grid and leaping onto the deck of the Ark Maxim.
Looking ahead, the battle between Enel, Gild Tesoro, and Charlotte Katakuri had temporarily ceased due to the commotion caused by the outside world, and they had separated by some distance. Katakuri, assessing the situation, quickly left the deck and jumped down without hesitation—because his Observation Haki had already warned him of an ominous future.
"You escaped really fast..." Enel with a hint of disdain, then looked at Buggy with interest. "You're the 'mastermind' behind this operation, aren't you?"
"Almost..."
Buggy glanced at Charlotte Katakuri's retreating figure, now a black dot, then looked up and met Enel's gaze. "Alright, we can leave now... It was a pleasure working with you..."
Enel stroked the Golden Staff in his hand, a defiant laugh spreading across his face, "Hmph... Interesting."
The crackling Lightning Flash in his hand shot into the main cabin, and then the Ark Maxim changed direction and sailed away from Whole Cake Island.
Meanwhile, inside the castle whose top floor had been destroyed.
"Don't let that Red Nose get away like that!" Charlotte Daifuku clutched her already injured chest, her face contorted with anger as she watched the departing Ark Maxim.
"The situation has become so serious, are we really going to keep him here any longer?" Charlotte Perospero asked grimly.
"But that Red Nose bastard and that lightning bastard made a mess of Whole Cake Island, I can't swallow this!" Charlotte Daifuku roared, "It's so infuriating!"
"I really want to kill that damn Red Nose bastard," Charlotte Oven said. "All my brothers and sisters must feel the same way..."
"Stop talking..."
Charlotte Katakuri had fallen from a hundred meters in the sky to the ground, raised his head and said coldly, "So what if it's destroyed? No matter how badly Whole Cake Island is destroyed or how many people die, we have a way to 'restore' it. We just need to borrow materials from other islands. The most important thing now is... Mom's condition."
Charlotte Daifuku was stunned for a moment, then looked at Charlotte Linlin who was being protected by Smoothie and Cracker, and gritted her teeth unwillingly.
"Mr. Streusen."
Cracker, standing protectively beside Charlotte Linlin, looked at Streusen, the head chef of the Big Mom Pirates, and said, "You should know Mom's condition. Right now, only your culinary skills can help you create sweets to distract her. Only then can she calm down from the uncontrollable emotions caused by the destruction of the nun's photo, the side effects of the Energy Steroids, and the effects of her Devil Fruit power..."
"Yes." The Streusen nodded. "Leave it to me, but a lot of the ingredients were used at the tea party, so we have to collect them again!"
