Fierce Battle with Big Mom, Giving Smoothie a Sword / Sword Presses Big Mom, Objective Achieved

The Big Mom was the first to act.

"Prometheus, Zeus, help me!"

"Ikoku Sovereignty!!"

Prometheus transformed into a colossal flame, leaping up amidst the rain of swords and instantly clearing away a large area. Zeus, transforming into Thundercloud, also instantly cleared away a large area amidst crackling lightning.

The Big Mom's Ikoku Sovereignty was incredibly powerful, clearing a path through the air. However, the range of the sword rain was too vast, and the Big Mom's attacks only managed to block a small portion of it.

"Biscuit Soldiers, attack!!"

"Wave-Splitting Strike!"

"..."

Seeing that their attack was effective, the others launched a counterattack.

However, Whole Cake Island was too large, and even with their all-out attack, they were ultimately unable to defend it completely.

The forest on the west side was completely pierced by the rain of swords and vanished, and Whole Cake Island was forcibly slashed away by one-fifth of its area.

Looking at the devastated Whole Cake Island, the Big Mom felt her head throb with blood. Prometheus transformed into flames that coiled around her, Zeus became a massive Thundercloud, and lightning began to flash. The Napoleon in the Big Mom's hand grew enormous.

Looking at the figure still in the sky, the Big Mom roared viciously, "You bastard! I won't let you get away with this!!"

"The Ultimate Ikoku Sovereignty!!"

Finally, the Big Mom unleashed her Conqueror's Haki Coating, her thick Slashing crackling with black lightning.

The attack caused the sky above Whole Cake Island to darken suddenly. Everyone on the island saw the Slashing, which was like a beam of light shooting upwards and even piercing through the sky.

"MOM!!"

Chapter 163 Fierce Battle with the Big Mom, Gift of the Sword Smoothie

"Has both the speed and power increased?"

Looking at the attack that had ripped a hole in the sky not far away, Dongze's expression finally turned serious.

Upon this attack, he discovered that the fat, old woman before him possessed an incredibly terrifying level of Armament Haki, comparable even to his own current level.

"This is a bit outrageous!"

He originally thought the other party's physique was abnormally strong, but he didn't expect that their Armament Haki would be so powerful. There are Poneglyph on Whole Cake Island that he needs, so some moves with destructive power exceeding the limit cannot be used, just like the Sword Tornado in Dressrosa, which One Sword, Immortal Kneels.

These moves are forbidden here; if you accidentally destroy the Poneglyph, you'll be left with nothing but regret.

Therefore, he did not use the One Sword, Immortal Kneels before, but instead used borrowed swords to attack. To be honest, the power of that move was far less than that of the One Sword, Immortal Kneels, because he did not add Sword Intent to those hundreds of thousands of Flying Swords.

Of course, if a wisp of Sword Intent were added to each sword, its destructive power would be incomparable.

Seeing the middle-aged Big Mom with red eyes rushing towards him, Dongze narrowed his eyes and was about to activate his Sword Intent Domain.

Suddenly, a "ding" sound entered his mind.

"No way! I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

However, Dongze's expression quickly turned to one of surprise and delight.

On the panel, the Armament Haki indicator has finally reached its maximum level.

Armament Haki: Max (Ryuo!)

Then he thought again, wait a minute! He felt that Big Mom's previous attack, with its Armament Haki, was comparable to his own!

Could it be that she has also reached that level?

However, that's not entirely true. If one truly reached that level, they wouldn't be able to unleash their full power.

Speaking of which, this Big Mom's talent is truly remarkable. It's said that having a child ages you by ten years and causes your body to deteriorate even more, but look at how many children Big Mom has now!

However, his strength remains at the level of one of the Four Emperors.

In truth, if she hadn't had so many children, she could have reached the Divine Realm, which is equivalent to Beyond the Four Emperors. However, it's a pity that she went crazy and gave birth to eighty-five children in one go.

Ultimately, this prevented him from reaching the Divine Realm. His Armament Haki was stuck at that threshold. If measured by Dongze's Proficient, it would be 990,000/1,000,000, just 10,000 points away from breaking through.

That's why Dongze felt that they were evenly matched before, but ultimately he didn't break through to that level. Of course, for some reason, it's hard to say whether this situation is good or bad.

If Garp were to break through to the Divine Realm and disregard the consequences, he could seemingly eliminate any of the Four Emperors, but he would risk having his title revoked. Big Mom, on the other hand, would not face such a crisis if she went all out, and could act with impunity.

However, his Armament Haki is now at its maximum level, which makes him both happy and a little troubled, since another powerful move has been sealed.

Thinking about his current situation, Dongze couldn't help but mutter to himself, "History! It's fucking damn stupid!"

"Sword One - Long River!!"

Fortunately, he still has other tricks up his sleeve; there are still Six Flying Swords in the Peerless Sword Case that he can use!

As the Long River appeared, the Sword Intent of Erosion Cycle erupted instantly.

The air seemed to be corroded, exuding a rotten smell, and the Big Mom's face darkened.

"Is this the Desert Boy's technique?"

The Big Mom kept walking, and a wisp of black lightning had already wrapped around Napoleon, clearly indicating the Conqueror's Haki Coating.

"Ah!!"

Her ordinary basic attack somehow managed to deal explosive damage.

As for the Erosion Sword Intent, she forcefully blocked it with her Conqueror's Haki. The bloodthirsty Big Mom fought without any strategy, her only motto being "Fight!"

Feeling the force in his hand, Dongze's expression darkened slightly. He thought to himself, "Truly, he's a monster who surpasses Giant Race."

Even with his current physical condition, he was subtly under immense pressure.

In the stalemate, the greeting between the Four Emperors, Sky-Splitting, was staged once again.

"Does that guy also have Conqueror's Haki?"

Seeing the torn sky, everyone on Whole Cake Island paled. Among the Big Mom Pirates, only Big Mom and Katakuri possessed Conqueror's Haki.

"Dongze! You bastard! You actually destroyed my Whole Cake Island like that! Today I'm going to kill you!!"

Upon hearing this, Dongze coldly said, "Charlotte Linlin, since you've made your move, you must pay the price. After all these years as a pirate, you're only getting worse! You're not even as insightful as Shanks!!"

"Red-Hair Shanks? When I was a pirate, he was still playing in the mud! I'll take him down and become the Pirate King someday!!"

"The Ultimate Ikoku Sovereignty!!"

"Sword Two - Thunderclap!!"

The Peerless Sword Case trembled slightly again, and the second Flying Sword was drawn.

A bolt of Thunderclap struck the golden Flying Sword out of nowhere. Lightning crackled across the blade before settling back to normal, but the oppressive aura emanating from it did not diminish; in fact, it intensified.

"The power of lightning?"

The Big Mom was jolted awake from her rage by the thunder. Previously, she had encountered Sword Seven - Sky-Splitting and witnessed Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power. The second sword was Sword One - Long River and witnessed Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit power. Now she had seen Dongze's third sword - Thunderclap and witnessed the power of lightning.

In addition, the ice-sealing power he learned from Kaido was actually the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit.

At that moment, a question popped into her mind.

"Just how capable is he?"

"Dongze!! What kind of fruit did you eat?!"

The Big Mom's voice was so loud that even Perospero, Smoothie, Cracker, and others standing on the ground could hear it. Dongze's strength was undeniable; he was extremely powerful. But to be able to fly on a sword, summon hundreds of thousands of weapons with a single call, freeze the sea, unleash lightning, and Quake was truly remarkable.

To be honest, not only the Big Mom, but even they were very curious about what kind of fruit the other party had eaten to gain such power.

After a moment of silence, Dongze chuckled, "Charlotte? Linlin! How old and blind you must be! As Devil Fruit User, can't you tell at all whether I've eaten Devil Fruit or not? Or are you just too skeptical to believe it?"

"Dongze has never eaten Devil Fruit!"

Before anyone knew it, Robin had arrived on the ground and looked at the Big Mom Pirates' executives in front of her.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing Robin's voice, the group quickly surrounded Robin.

"My name is Nico Robin, and I am Mr. Dongze's right-hand woman. What you are seeing is merely Mr. Dongze Swordsmanship! This is a Swordsmanship unlike any other before. Anyone who has practiced Swordsmanship should be able to sense it! Charlotte Cracker, Charlotte Smoothie!"

"Masaka!!"

"Is he that person??"

"Wait, Smoothie, what are you saying?"

"One year and seven months ago, someone detonated the ocean, and all the famous swordsmen on the sea felt that power!!"

Aren't you afraid we'll catch you?

You guys can give it a try!

"Wait, Perospero, I sense an extremely strong power within her! Don't act rashly!!"

"Ah!! No wonder Dongze said he'd give you a chance, Charlotte Smoothie, a swordsman's intuition?"

"This is a gift from him!"

After saying that, Robin threw a Little Wooden Sword at Smoothie.

Seeing Smoothie looking somewhat bewildered, it seemed that accepting a gift from an enemy in front of everyone was a very shameful thing, and she even intended to throw it away.

But then Robin said, "This is the ticket to that new Swordsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Perospero and Cracker immediately looked at Smoothie with burning desire in their eyes. Dongze's power was too strong. If they could obtain that kind of power, why would they need to be executives? They would become Four Emperors directly.

Seeing the greedy looks in their eyes, Smoothie's heart tightened, and she quickly put the item away, placing it safely on her person. Robin, of course, also noticed their gazes and continued, "There's an attack sealed inside! Of course, it won't work on us; the Sword Intent won't attack its owner! But if someone tries to steal it, you can try. I heard from Dongze that its power is enough to instantly kill Admiral- level fighter!"

Upon hearing Robin's words, Cracker and the other man's expressions changed again, and they looked at Smoothie with a hint of apprehension.

Seeing that things had finally come to an end, a smile flashed in Robin's eyes; it was as if the cunning Robin had returned.

"Alright! This great battle is almost over! My mission is now complete!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out, "Sword Intent Domain, activate!!"

Chapter 164 Sword Presses Down on BIGMOM, Goal Achieved

Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, the gleaming sword light pierced the somewhat dim sky, making it almost blinding.

Even Sword Aura and Slashing that don't come from the sky can cause the ocean to turn upside down, even from a thousand meters away.

As Dongze and the Big Mom fought for longer and longer, more and more Flying Sword were drawn from Dongze's Peerless Sword Case. As the Flying Sword flew, their Sword Intent raged and their abilities were displayed more and more, which made the spectators more and more surprised.

Desert erosion, Thunderclap, Sky-Splitting...

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and large holes appeared from time to time, as if the sky had been pierced by the battle between the two.

Just as BIGMOM and Dongze were going back and forth, a thunderous voice resounded through the sky.

Then, to the astonishment of Charlotte Smoothie and the others, the Big Mom simply fell straight down from the sky.

"MOM!!"

At this moment, the Big Mom's eyes still held the astonishment from just moments before. Just now, Zeus beneath her feet, Prometheus on her body, and Napoleon in her hand had suddenly become ineffective.

He was sent flying by Dongze's Slashing.

Just then, Kaido's words involuntarily echoed in her mind, "The opponent can limit Devil Fruit abilities!"

She had initially thought there would be some warning signs before the other party unleashed this move, and she had been on guard the whole time, but to her surprise, Dongze used the Forbidden Law Realm without any warning whatsoever.

In the heat of battle, she was knocked down by Dongze's attack.

Seeing the figure in mid-air, the Big Mom roared angrily.

"Forbidden Law Realm??"

"Dongze!! You bastard!!"

"I won't let you get away with this!!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the onlookers changed; it seemed that BIGMOM had lost this battle.

Ah~~~
