The New World, Whole Cake Island.
"Ikoku Sovereignty!!!"
Boom-
A gigantic shock wave of sword aura shot through the island, obliterating everything ahead and splitting the sea apart.
Dong-
The sound rang across the island like a tolling bell, accompanied by wild currents of air.
Bloodsucking vines extended from Aramaki's hand, piercing several of Charlotte Linlin's children as he looked toward the massive explosion.
"What a fierce fight."
"Then I can't let an old man leave me behind."
He raised his other hand, sending more vines surging out to stab at the endlessly spawning Biscuit Soldiers and the advancing Sugar Sea.
Cracker looked battered and disheveled, panting heavily. His ability was completely countered, and swathes of Biscuit Soldiers crumbled as their energy was drained dry.
Although creating them required little stamina, too many were being absorbed, and his own strength was gradually being depleted.
Cracker charged at Aramaki with his greatsword in hand.
"Stop it!!!!"
Rings of turbulent air coiled around the blade as he swung. A powerful shock wave of sword aura reached Aramaki in an instant.
The sword aura shattered Aramaki's body into a cloud of green plant dust, only for him to reappear elsewhere.
"It's useless."
"I ate the Logia-type Woods-Woods Fruit."
"I am nature itself!!!"
As his words fell, even more vines surged forth after absorbing Cracker's Biscuit Soldiers.
Greenery engulfed nearly half of Whole Cake Island, leaving nothing but dried corpses in its wake...
Cracker's face twisted with rage.
"Bastard!!!"
His Devil Fruit Ability was completely countered, but without it, they would be routed even faster... Using it could at least buy them some time...
Countless Biscuit Soldiers appeared, but rather than charging at Aramaki, they carried his surviving younger siblings away.
In just a few moments, several of his younger siblings had already died.
