Chapter 97
At BIGMOM's call, a white cloud wearing a child's hat and with a lazy face appeared in front of her.
At the same time, the other two Homies instantly closed in, the former transforming into a red sun with a strange face, and the latter into Pirates bicorn hat printed with a white skull.
Napoleon the Prometheus the Bicorn Hat: the former possesses the ability to manipulate fire, while the latter possesses the ability to transform into a giant sword.
With a whooshing sound, BIGMOM's enormous body suddenly vanished from its spot.
Little Galette lowered her head, her legs trembling, and after leaving three shallow puddles of water on the floor, she dragged her heavy steps away.
Misteria Island.
The battle between Adrian and Katakuri continues.
Faced with the Awakening Mochi-Mochi Fruit, Adrian simply abandoned his method of close combat using Swordplay.
Although he has many Swordplay- related Specialty, Swordplay is not Adrian's greatest strength.
Moreover, to think that one could defeat Katakuri, who was now unleashing his Awakening power, with Swordplay skills at the level of Swordmaster is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Besides, there's an old saying that goes...
We must use magic to defeat magic.
Pooh!
The goal is to use Devil Fruit abilities to defeat Devil Fruit abilities!
Adrian stood high in the sky, relentlessly unleashing a barrage of Ghost Energy upon Misteria Island below, interspersed with a mixed offensive of Mini Hollow and Giant Hollow explosions.
Katakuri below, appeared somewhat powerless against such an attack.
Although the power of awakened Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening is incredibly strong, granting Paramecia Devil Fruit User a wide-range attack ability similar to Logia Fruits.
However, the advantage of terrain cannot be compensated for Devil Fruit Awakening!
Facing the White Ghost that can fly freely in the air.
Katakuri's attack methods are still somewhat weak.
As time goes by.
Adrian's relentless Ghost Energy Cannon attacks have practically razed Misteria Island to the ground, with many relatively vulnerable areas even being directly sunk into the sea by the powerful force of the Ghost Energy Cannon!
Misteria Island is at least one-fifth smaller than before!
Katakuri knew very well that if he continued to let the White Ghost bombard him so recklessly, sooner or later he would fall into the sea without a foothold and be defeated!
However, ordinary mochi is no match for the Ghost Energy Cannon, and mochi covered in Armament Haki consumes too much of one's stamina.
If Katakuri were to rely solely on Armament Haki to defend against White Ghost's attacks, he estimated that he would be defeated even faster than in the first scenario.
"Falling Mochi Rain!"
Katakuri launched another probing attack.
On the island's ground, which had been assimilated by the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, several thick strips of mochi instantly emerged, accompanied by howling winds, attempting to launch a Sudden Shower -like attack on the White Ghost in the air.
However, faced with such an attack, Adrian merely yawned lazily, his figure suddenly shrinking, and he nimbly slipped through the gaps between the rice cake strips.
He then moved to another area in the air and continued to bombard Katakuri below with Ghost Energy Cannon, causing him to flee in terror.
On this vast ocean where flight is extremely rare, the Ghost Body is just that ruthless!
The air-to-ground combat advantage, coupled with the devastating power of psionic Ghost Energy.
It's basically a humanoid self-propelled cannon that takes off directly!
Just then, a red light flashed in Adrian's eyes, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
"If you can't beat them, you just call your parents?"
In the distance, a peerless heroine, dressed in a light pink dress and standing on auspicious white clouds, descends amidst flames and Inazuma.
The next moment.
A mournful sound, as if the atmosphere was being torn apart, echoed from mid-air.
A mountain of flesh demon king descended from the sky!
"White Ghost, is it you who killed Cracker and Amande?"
BIGMOM sat atop Zeus, and looked at the handsome little man opposite him, letting out a low laugh.
"Mama mama... White Ghost, I'm giving you one last chance."
"MARRYORLIFE?"
"FUNNYMUDPEE!"
[Chapter 171 Hollow-Hollow Fruit VS Soul-Soul Fruit]
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the unique onomatopoeic English, it didn't stop Big Mom from understanding the undisguised rejection from the White Ghost's tone and expression.
In an instant, this renowned Queen of Totto Land and Soul Queen in the New World naturally became enraged.
BIGMOM's eyes widened suddenly, and an invisible Conqueror's Haki condensed into a near-tangible shockwave that swept towards Adrian.
Adrian stood on the horizon, arms crossed, maintaining his pose.
His powerful Conqueror's Haki caused the hem of his suit to flutter wildly in the wind, but his expression remained completely unchanged.
"Don't embarrass yourself by showing off this level of Conqueror's Haki, Charlotte Linlin."
Adrian's gaze gradually turned cold, but within it swelled a growing fighting spirit.
"Compared to Sengoku the Buddha's Conqueror 'Conqueror's Haki Conqueror's Haki, yours is nothing special!"
"Mama mama..."
BIGMOM let out a laugh that sounded like the Kikoku of a night owl. The surging anger that erupted from her chest was as terrifying as a volcanic eruption, making her already bloated and deformed face look as horrifying as a demon from hell.
"Go! Prometheus! Burn this audacious, incompetent fool to ashes!!"
A deafening roar erupted from Bigom's throat, like a thunderclap in the blue sky.
"I'd like to see just how his Hollow-Hollow Fruit differs from my Soul-Soul Fruit!!"
Amidst this terrifying roar, a massive, blazing fireball, like the sun, rose from behind BIGMOM.
Along with the Creator's unvented rage, the flame that had been given life also raged. Its size suddenly swelled several times, and its eyes turned blood red, staring fiercely at Adrian.
Prometheus the Sun!
This blazing fireball, revealing its undisguised terrifying malice, opened its mouth, and an enormous, jet-shaped flame instantly formed, before swiftly attacking Mother's enemy.
Adrian did not dodge the attack from Prometheus.
He held his head high, gazing fearlessly at the terrifying flames that were about to fall, a slight smile playing on his lips.
A faint blue light suddenly burst forth from his raised right hand, meeting the trajectory of the falling fire from the sky.
Released in an instant!
A pale blue light instantly pierced through the scorching orange flames, precisely splitting the high-energy, high-heat beam of fire in two from the middle, and appearing in front of the Prometheus in an instant.
A sudden, unprecedented, and completely unfamiliar sense of crisis arose within the soul of Prometheus.
It's important to know that Prometheus's existence was quite peculiar.
As one of the three Homies that stood at the pinnacle, created by Big Mom using the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Both Prometheus and Zeus are, to some extent, integrated into natural phenomena, as if they were personified and brought to life as flames and thunderclouds!
The Prometheus and the Zeus possess elemental properties similar to Logia Devil Fruit User, but they cannot be physically grasped by the enemy's Armament Haki!
In the original work, Luffy's attacks imbued with Armament Haki were ineffective against them!
Because in essence, Prometheus and Zeus are still just a ball of fire and a thundercloud; they are unique beings created by Big Mom using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Prometheus and Zeus had followed Big Mom in her battles across the seas for many years, and no matter how terrifying the opponent, they had always pressed forward without retreating. But this was the first time they had ever felt fear and crisis like they did today!
Faced with the oncoming Ghost Energy Cannon, Prometheus instinctively separated a ball of flame from its fiery body, attempting to propel its main body in the opposite direction to dodge.
However, while the flames moved quickly, the Ghost Energy Cannon moved even faster!
The dark blue beam of light, with its unstoppable momentum, pierced straight through the upper left part of Prometheus's body, leaving a huge, ugly hole in the massive, raging fireball.
Prometheus, who had never felt pain before, experienced for the first time the agony of the enemies he had previously scorched with his flames.
An excruciating pain, as if his soul were being torn apart, surged relentlessly from the wound pierced by the Ghost Energy Cannon, causing Prometheus to let out a deafening scream of agony.
"It hurts! Mom! It hurts so much!!"
Prometheus cried out in anguish as he Earth Shrink behind Big Mom's massive body.
Like a bullied child, they instinctively want to seek the protection of adults.
"Prometheus!"
BIGMOM was equally astonished. This was the first time she had ever encountered Prometheus like Homies being hurt and injured. This had never happened before!
Big Mom grabbed Prometheus's body, and the raging flames that could scorch anything were as docile as putty in her hands, causing her no harm whatsoever.
Using his Soul-Soul Fruit powers, Big Mom checked on Prometheus and was shocked to discover that a small portion of the soul fragments that originally existed within its body had been shattered!
Bigom looked at Adrian with a mixture of shock and anger, and shouted angrily.
"White Ghost, what did you do to Prometheus?"
"What did you do?"
Adrian raised his right palm, and a faint blue light reappeared in his palm once more.
The reappearance of the Ghost Energy blasts made Prometheus flinch.
Zeus had been unharmed, couldn't help but swallow hard after witnessing his brother's tragic state, looking quite nervous.
"This is also the power of [soul]! From the Soul Queen of Totto Land!"
A wave of dark blue light gushed from Adrian's palm, shooting towards Big Mom with Inazuma speed.
But faced with such an attack, BIGMOM neither dodged nor hesitated. She raised her enormous, fan-like hand and slapped away the Ghost Energy blast that had instantly severely injured Prometheus.
It flew away!!
This sight made Adrian's lips twitch uncontrollably. What kind of Monster were these?!
Before us, the Sengoku the Buddha withstood the Swordmaster's strikes without sustaining a single scratch!
Then BIGMOM knocked away the Ghost Energy Cannon with his bare hands!
These people with strange constitutions are truly terrifying!
Especially Bigom.
Whether it's Sengoku the Buddha or Kaido of the Beasts, their powerful physiques largely stem from the advantages of their Mythical Zoan Fruits.
But Big Mom Charlotte Linlin is a "natural destroyer".
The seemingly joking nickname "[Iron Balloon]" is actually her innate talent!
"White Ghost! I'll show you just how vast the difference in power truly is between two souls!"
"Zeus! Napoleon! Prepare for battle!"
