Beverage Maker and Memory Master

"Brat, do you really think the New World is an amusement park just because I haven't made a move?!"

"Great Freedom Heavenly God!"

Heavenly lightning crashed down without discrimination.

It obliterated the entire land.

Ye Zhuo had activated Nika Form. How could he possibly fear mere lightning?

At the same time,

his heartbeat pounded like drums, empowering every one of his companions.

Combined with Betty's Inspire-Inspire Fruit,

the two drew out the potential and courage of every member of the Demon King Pirates.

After the nine Shadowkhan had bestowed their marks earlier, the nine crew members had received Haki enhancements.

As Ye Zhuo threw a punch,

his powerful Eight Demonic Energies also empowered the remaining companions.

Boom!

Eight Demonic Energies, Nine Shadowkhan!

[All Eight Demonic Energies have been collected. Grant subordinates immunity to self-inflicted damage.]

[The complete Demonic Energy bestowal grants Haki enhancements and causes no side effects.]

With that,

all of Ye Zhuo's subordinates received boosts from the Nika Drums, the Inspire-Inspire Fruit, Demonic Energy, and Shadowkhan.

As the Sea Kings surrounded Cake Island,

the Shadowkhan struck and instantly slaughtered Big Mom's Homies.

The skies, the earth, and the sea were all densely filled with them.

Bonney received an enhancement from Mountain Demonic Energy.

Carrot received an enhancement from Lightning Chi.

Shirahoshi received an enhancement from Water Demon Aura.

At the same time, these Demonic Energy bestowals also strengthened their Haki.

"You want to hurt our captain? Dream on!"

Momousagi sent Cracker flying with a single slash.

Earth Demon Aura erupted with power, and even the Biscuit Soldiers were restrained by her monstrous strength.

Boom!

Nami and Carrot possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Lightning Chi respectively.

They overwhelmingly crushed Snack and Perospero.

Smoothie had intended to squeeze Shirahoshi into juice with her Devil Fruit.

But Water Demon Aura was inexhaustible and limitless!

Bonney's size remained unchanged, yet she devoured all the food on Cake Island.

She erupted with terrifying strength like a muscular Barbie.

With a flying kick, Empress blocked Katakuri's trident, Mogura.

Daifuku had just summoned the Lamp Genie, intending to ambush them during the battle.

Betty, some distance away, erupted in flames and knocked him back.

The Inspire-Inspire Fruit and Fire Chi!

"You are not qualified to make a move!"

The wings behind Hina meant that she possessed Heavenly Demonic Qi.

The moment she attacked, she trapped hundreds of pirates.

Tashigi instantly appeared behind Oven and slashed with her sword.

Rebecca drew her blade while invisible, leaving her enemies unable to respond.

Boom!

Violet puffed out her cheeks, and Wind Demon Aura erupted.

It swept more than a thousand Homies into the sky.

"When they can't move, that's when poison works best."

Enhanced by Moon Demonic Energy, Reiju suspended enemy after enemy in the air as poison shot out in an instant.

Kalifa launched a flying kick, while the Samurai Shadowkhan protected her.

The boosts from Shadowkhan and Haki greatly increased the power of her Six Naval Powers.

Perona and Vivi defended with Haki while using their Devil Fruits to sweep through the battlefield.

More and more people came down with the "disease where you'll die if you keep fighting," falling into breakdowns of "I'm just trash."

The Alien Shadowkhan beside Robin constantly shifted forms like rubber, blocking every attack.

It bought time for her Flower-Flower Fruit.

The Shadowkhan also accelerated the awakening of her Haki.

Every hand she used to attack was naturally coated in Armament Haki.

Sadi and Baby 5 attacked ruthlessly.

One possessed the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and could not be struck.

The other possessed the Weapon-Weapon Fruit and transformed into all kinds of weapons.

With the Hunter Claw Shadowkhan and Blade Shadowkhan, they were more than enough to handle the entire battlefield!

"We're actually at a disadvantage!"

Smoothie could not believe what she was seeing.

"Can Mama stop the Demon King?"

Pudding anxiously rode a flying carpet to evade the attacks.

"Damn it, Smoothie, Pudding, be careful!"

Katakuri saw the future!

Two Ye Zhuos would appear!

Whoosh!

The black-clad Ye Zhuo transformed into the fully unleashed Haki form of the Demon King Form.

Smoothie, who was fighting Shirahoshi, had no time to evade.

Ye Zhuo blasted her into a massive crater with one palm strike.

"Aren't you fighting Mama?"

Smoothie could not believe it. She could not even withstand a single palm from Ye Zhuo.

"That's right.

The white-clad Ye Zhuo in the sky is in Nika Form.

I am Demon King Ye Zhuo, split off by the Tiger Talisman!"

Demon King Ye Zhuo wore a suit of black.

Even in his normal form, he stood nearly six meters tall.

He held the Supreme Grade Blade, First Kitetsu.

He held the blade against Smoothie's neck.

Smoothie had already been severely injured by that punch.

When Ye Zhuo's powerful Conqueror's Haki crashed into her, she was immediately knocked unconscious and went into shock.

With her eyes rolled back, Smoothie had long since lost all consciousness.

"Shirahoshi, throw this one onto the ship. From now on, she'll be our beverage maker."

"Lord Demon King!"

Shirahoshi held the Smoothie who had been frightened unconscious by Ye Zhuo in one hand and placed her on the deck.

"There's one more."

Demon King Ye Zhuo gave a wicked smile.

Ye Zhuo, wings spread wide, had already appeared before Pudding on her flying carpet.

"What? Do you think you can fly faster than my Shadow Night Bats?"

With a flick of his fingertip, Ye Zhuo lifted the bangs covering Pudding's forehead.

A third eye was revealed, blinking repeatedly.

"Not bad. Even Big Mom kept your Devil Fruit hidden, didn't she?"

"How did you know?"

Pudding had believed this was her deepest secret.

A Three-Eye Tribe member, a Paramecia-type Memory-Memory Fruit user.

She could freely erase and alter the memories of others!

"Very nice. Your Memory-Memory Fruit and Violet's Lie Detection are a perfect match."

With a snap of his fingers,

Conqueror's Haki at the level of Observation Killing caused Pudding to lose consciousness.

She wielded a flintlock pistol and could work together with Carrot.

He grabbed her and tossed her onto the Demon King.

Only then did Demon King Ye Zhuo quietly look toward the sky.

He would hold the line on Cake Island's battlefield. He would not allow a single crew member to die.

As for Big Mom!

He would leave her to the white-clad Nika Ye Zhuo!

High above the heavens,

the white-clad Ye Zhuo's hair glowed, while two additional pairs of arms grew from his abdomen and beneath his armpits.

His flaming hair, paired with his steam ribbons, made him appear even more mysterious.

"A six-armed monster? You can actually ignore lightning attacks!"

As Big Mom spoke, Prometheus rapidly swelled in size.

"Supreme Fire!"

Boom!

Blazing flames of extreme heat instantly swallowed Ye Zhuo.

"You call this fire?"

Ye Zhuo opened his mouth.

He swallowed every flame in a single gulp, controlling them with Fire Chi.

"Nani?!

Fine, you're immune to lightning attacks!

But why can you eat flames too?"

Big Mom could not understand it. The outside world claimed that Ye Zhuo was a Copy-Copy Fruit user.

But this was the first time in her life that she had seen an ability like this.

"What, want to play with fire and lightning?"

The white-clad Ye Zhuo became playful.

Nika Form truly deserved its reputation as "the most ridiculous ability."

The moment it was activated, it made one want to fight freely while also toying with the enemy.

"Let's start with Flame Burst Invincible Lightning Eye!"

Boom!

First came Ye Zhuo's flame attack.

He had long wanted to eat a Devil Fruit that granted names.

So he directly strung the names together and shouted them out.

"Now take this, Nine Heavens Thunderstorm!"

Fire alone was not enough. It needed some lightning too.

Big Mom used lightning and fire as appetizers.

Why couldn't Ye Zhuo?

The dark clouds across the entire sky transformed into a thunderstorm and crashed down from above.

Ye Zhuo turned into a tiny sun that could explode at any moment, unleashing energy toward Big Mom!

The pressure they radiated far surpassed that of Charlotte Linlin!

"You're copying my techniques?"

Before Big Mom could finish speaking,

a pillar of flame blasted into her as five bolts of lightning struck her from above!

"The battle has only just begun!"

The black smoke dispersed.

Big Mom glared furiously at Ye Zhuo.

Yet she saw a giant floating in the air, its fist even larger than her own body.

Ye Zhuo looked at Big Mom with a mischievous grin.

"Old hag, take this!"
