War began

New World, outside Totto Land's waters.

"Lord Satoru, up ahead is the territory of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' crews. Are we just going straight in?"

Standing beside Satoru Gojo, Koratt was rather nervous, cold sweat already beading on his forehead. Watching Big Mom's territory draw closer, he could not help asking Gojo.

Although Gojo was astonishingly powerful and had even defeated a Marine Admiral, they were now facing Big Mom, one of the four most powerful figures among pirates.

Moreover, Big Mom had many powerful fighters under her command. Gojo was going to challenge the entire Big Mom Pirates alone. The thought still sent a wave of panic through Koratt, and as they drew closer, he grew increasingly uneasy.

"Are you scared, Koratt?"

Gojo remained reclining in his armchair.

"She is one of the Four Emperors, after all. I'm just a minor pirate from the East Blue. If you hadn't raised me up, Lord Satoru, I might never have had the chance to see her in my entire life. So I'm a little nervous!"

Koratt tactfully expressed his unease.

"Don't worry. I'm invincible! With me here, no one can lay a finger on you!"

Hearing Gojo's assurance, Koratt's uneasy heart settled somewhat.

"Keep picking up speed!"

"Yes! Men! Full speed ahead into the Big Mom Pirates' territory!"

The Ark Maxim surged into Totto Land's waters at an even greater speed.

At the entrance to Whole Cake Chateau.

The senior members of the Big Mom Pirates were holding a banquet. Almost all their officers had gathered in the central palace of Whole Cake Chateau.

Gojo led Koratt and Rebecca leisurely toward the central palace, as though this were not the enemy's headquarters.

It was as if they had come for a vacation rather than a fight.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few people who recognized Gojo. Upon spotting him, some hurriedly fled, while others rushed in a panic toward the palace to report to Big Mom.

Gojo, however, did not stop them.

"I already declared war on Big Mom, yet they're still this unprepared. They don't even know I've reached Whole Cake Island. They really are looking down on me!"

"Isn't that better? Doesn't that give you a greater chance of winning?"

Rebecca spoke as she walked on Gojo's right.

"Hahaha, my chances of winning have never changed!"

Gojo grinned and continued:

"They've always been one hundred percent!"

"Aren't you a little too confident?"

Gojo spread his hands and said:

"I'm just stating the facts!"

By now, Big Mom, her officers, and her subordinates, who had been holding their banquet, had learned of Gojo's arrival and were ready to fight him.

Before long, Gojo entered the palace. The various objects that had been given life fell utterly silent before the three of them, terrified that a single misstep would get them killed by Gojo.

After all, Gojo was currently radiating the powerful pressure of Conqueror's Haki. Although he was not using his full strength, it was enough to intimidate them.

Gojo arrived before an enormous door. According to what he sensed with Observation Haki, the Big Mom Pirates were on the other side.

"Open the door!"

Hearing Gojo's order, Rebecca and Koratt immediately stepped forward, one on each side, and slowly pushed the door open.

As the door slowly opened, a large number of tables and chairs, along with countless desserts and dishes, gradually came into view.

Clearly, a banquet had just been taking place here.

But now, not a trace of the relaxed cheer of a banquet remained. The air seemed to have stagnated, heavy with oppression.

The doors opened fully. Big Mom sat high upon her throne, her officers clustered around her like stars surrounding the moon.

They showed no hesitation or nervousness. Even facing Satoru Gojo, captain of the Jujutsu Pirates, who had recently captured the Three Admirals alive, they showed not the slightest fear.

They stood in orderly ranks, as though they could deliver a thunderous strike against Gojo the moment Big Mom gave the order.

"Mama, mama! Are you White-haired Satoru Gojo?"

"If no one else has exactly the same name as me, then I'm the Satoru Gojo you're talking about!"

"Mama, mama! Why have you come here?"

"Aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to? Your people robbed my country's merchant ships, so I've come to settle the score!"

"Mama, mama! Isn't it only natural for pirates to plunder? We robbed them, so what?"

"Hahaha! You're right. It's only natural for pirates to plunder!"

Gojo laughed, but the next moment, his laughter stopped, and he said in a low voice:

"But you stole from my country!"

"Mama, mama! So you've come to challenge me alone? Who gave you the nerve?"

The moment she finished speaking, Conqueror's Haki erupted from Big Mom and bore down on Gojo.

Boom!

Gojo also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to oppose hers. The collision between the two bursts of Conqueror's Haki produced a tremendous roar.

"Mama, mama! Not bad, that Conqueror's Haki!"

"But do you think you can beat me with that alone?"

Big Mom narrowed her eyes slightly, and a soul-shaking aura spread from her.

The next instant, she grabbed the cloud floating beside her. The white cloud instantly turned into a black thundercloud, flashes of electricity continually sparking within it with a crackling sound.

"You think beating an Admiral means you can beat me?!"

"Thunder!"

Big Mom bellowed and swung her right hand fiercely toward Gojo and his two companions. An enormous pillar of lightning blasted straight toward them.

The purple lightning bathed their surroundings in purple, as though it would tear even space apart.

"So this is the power of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors?!"

Standing beside Gojo, Koratt watched the oncoming lightning, his legs trembling as he could not help murmuring.

Rebecca stood quietly beside Gojo, because she believed he could block it.

"Chidori!"

As the words fell, blue lightning gathered in Gojo's hand and collided with the purple pillar of lightning almost instantaneously.

The raging purple pillar of lightning was blasted apart, while Gojo's Chidori continued to flash, giving off peals of thunder.

"How is that possible!"

"Mama's lightning was actually blasted apart by that insignificant bolt!"

Several officers of the Big Mom Pirates watched the dissipating purple lightning, unable to keep expressions of shock and disbelief off their faces.

"Looks like my lightning is superior!"

As he spoke, Gojo dispersed his Chidori.

"What Devil Fruit did you eat?! Didn't the intelligence say you could use spatial abilities and ice abilities? Why can you use lightning now?!"

Katakuri was extremely surprised. Knowing that Gojo was coming to challenge Big Mom, he had analyzed the intelligence on him, but nothing had indicated that he could use lightning, let alone lightning this powerful!

The ice and lightning abilities came from Esdeath and Sasuke. Thanks to the system's rewards, Gojo could possess the abilities of the characters he summoned.

Naturally, Katakuri knew nothing about this. He was understandably shocked that Gojo could wield three different abilities, because he knew of no Devil Fruit that could give someone three abilities at the same time.
