"You bastard..."
The agony and loss of control from dozens of [Micro-Vibration Cores] detonating inside her at once unleashed Big Mom's ferocity!
"Get away from me!!!"
Big Mom let out a bloodcurdling roar, her monstrous strength erupting and blasting away every piece of rubble pressing down around her!
Almost the instant she broke free, her burning eyes locked onto Gern.
