The Four Emperors Were Long Outdated

"That's Big Mom when she goes insane. We have no chance of winning if this keeps up."

Someone turned and ran.

What the hell was there left to fight?

Their own captain had gone insane, while the enemy was fighting at full strength.

Brûlée hoisted more than ten mirrors.

She shouted, "Run! Brothers, sisters, younger brothers, younger sisters!"

Those four terms encompassed nearly everyone in the Big Mom Pirates.

Their fighting spirit was gone. They had already suffered devastating losses, and now Big Mom was stabbing them in the back.

If they did not run now, they would be completely wiped out!

"Running away?"

Ye Zhuo stretched out a massive hand. Mountain Demonic Energy, Ryuo, and Conqueror's Coating ignored Big Mom's slash.

He seized her in one grab.

"Smash the mirrors!"

Katakuri had barely given the order.

Only one-third of their survivors had escaped into the mirrors.

But as long as they shattered the mirrors, they could get away cleanly.

Whoosh!

A gigantic figure was thrown inside.

Big Mom drooled all over the ground.

Her mind was filled with food. The moment she saw someone, she wanted to attack and seize their soul.

"What's the hurry? Are you leaving without taking your captain with you?"

Ye Zhuo appeared before them with a cackling laugh.

He smashed the final mirror with one punch.

He left the Big Mom Pirates with no route of escape whatsoever.

"Mom, wake up!

This isn't the time to eat strawberry cake!"

Before Perospero could finish speaking, Big Mom flew into a rage and slashed at him.

Bang!

Katakuri blocked it with his trident.

He and Perospero were sent flying, crashing into the walls of the Mirror World.

"Brûlée!"

Ye Zhuo grabbed Brûlée by the collar.

His Conqueror's Haki erupted, and everyone present fainted.

Only Big Mom and Katakuri remained conscious.

"I'll kill you! You're strawberry cake!"

Big Mom had slimmed down until she looked only fifty years old.

It seemed that the thinner she became, the younger she looked.

"Kill me? Idiot, who gave you the courage?"

Brûlée fell to the ground.

Obediently, she opened a mirror passage.

It led directly to Totto Land's largest pirate ship.

Ye Zhuo's palm was even bigger than Big Mom's body.

He swung a massive slap.

"Insolence!"

Big Mom was confident she could block the attack.

She threw out a palm.

Her entire face twisted as she was sent flying into the mirror.

Whoosh!

Big Mom, coughing blood, appeared aboard the Queen Mama Chanter.

She was dazed for a moment. Only after getting back on her feet did she look toward Ye Zhuo, who leisurely stepped out of the mirror.

Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon all began to tremble.

"That guy is here again! He's terrifying!"

Zeus the thundercloud shrieked. If Big Mom was the "evil god" spoken of by the giants, the "natural-born destroyer" in the eyes of the world...

Then Ye Zhuo was a true lord of hell, the king of devils!

"Don't come any closer!"

Napoleon, the hat-sword, ached all over.

He felt that a few more huge slaps from Ye Zhuo would be enough to kill him.

"Mom, wake up!"

Prometheus, the giant fireball, shuddered.

Though he was a fireball, he felt bone-chillingly cold.

"Strawberry cake!"

Big Mom shrieked again and swung her sword.

She had slimmed down until she looked only forty.

Her skin had instead become taut.

Her gaze was sharp, making her look utterly fierce.

"It's time to wake up!"

Ye Zhuo kicked toward the sky.

His leg transformed into a battle axe, turning into a giant's foot in the heavens.

It descended from above!

Bang!

With a cracking sound, the enormous Queen Mama Chanter was split in two by that kick.

Big Mom, who had been swinging her sword while riding the thundercloud, was smacked by half of the pirate ship.

Just as she was about to sink into the sea.

Prometheus accelerated madly, transforming into a dark cloud as he shot out from the corner.

"Mom, wake up!"

"Damn it, damn it, this guy's combat power is too strong!"

"His Haki is even more terrifying than Mom's, and his strength utterly crushes hers!"

"Prometheus, take Mom out of here!"

The three strongest Homies Charlotte Linlin had created with her soul had long since regained their senses.

If they kept fighting, they would all die.

Whoosh!

Zeus soared through the air, using his lightning together with Prometheus's flames to accelerate.

They attempted to flee with all their might.

Big Mom, who sat sorrowfully upon the dark cloud, slowly rose to her feet and turned around once more.

Once she regained consciousness, every Homie had to obey her commands!

"Too slow. There's no fun in fighting like this."

Ye Zhuo looked at Big Mom.

Big Mom had now slimmed down to her optimal state.

She had returned to the appearance she had in her twenties, the way she had looked when she joined the Rocks Pirates.

Both her beauty and figure had reached their absolute peak!

What was even more terrifying was this.

Big Mom, who had gone berserk because of her eating disorder, was completely awake at this moment.

She glared furiously at Ye Zhuo.

She had been slapped awake from her crazed state!

Big Mom was enraged beyond measure, and Prometheus above her head transformed into long flaming hair.

"I'll make you die!"

"Lightning Sword!"

Big Mom fused lightning, fire, swordsmanship, and Haki.

At the peak of her berserk power, she slashed out with her sword.

"Try this!"

Ye Zhuo's two fists dropped from the dark clouds, each one grasping lightning and blazing flames.

"That's...!"

On the deck of the half-sunken pirate ship.

Katakuri sat slumped miserably in a corner.

Brûlée raised her head with him and looked toward the sky.

They saw two fists, each larger than Cake Island and wrapped in lightning and flames, descending upon them.

Boom!

Everyone in Totto Land was drawn to the sight.

They all looked up in unison.

Big Mom roared like a madwoman!

Yet beneath those two fists, she was as tiny as a grain of sand.

"Sink into the sea awake, Big Mom!

Let no pirate in the New World ever dare declare war on me again!

What comes next will be my Demon King Era!"

Rocks, the King of the World, had died, and even his legend had been erased.

Pirate King Roger had opened the Great Pirate Era with his life, facing death with generosity.

Each new generation surpassed the last.

This was now the new era of Demon King Ye Zhuo!

Rumble!

Thunder roared as all darkness was shattered in that instant.

Whoosh!

Flames blazed, igniting hot blood in the face of every impossibility.

Big Mom was defeated by the twin fists at the very peak of her power.

She lasted less than a breath.

Her face was smashed flat, and she spat out blood as she fell from the sky into the sea!

Flames and lightning blasted open the ocean.

A massive thunderstorm fireball exploded across the sea's surface.

In an instant, the scorching heat evaporated vast amounts of seawater.

Steam rose up, turning into white mist that filled the sky.

Ye Zhuo in white gradually returned to his normal human form.

The two-winged Demon King Ye Zhuo floated there, and his two fists smashed together.

"Even if you are the other half created by the Tiger Talisman, you are still the Demon King!"

"You and I, whether good or evil, are both Demon Kings!"

The instant they fused.

The white light faded slightly.

Ye Zhuo spread his wings, his robes snapping in the wind.

The sea breeze lifted his hair.

A faint smile curled his upturned lips.

"The Four Emperors were long outdated."
