"I want his soul! I want him to be a dog at my feet for all eternity!!!"
Big Mom's shriek, filled with boundless fury and greed, sounded like a call to war, instantly shattering the deathly silence over Kuraigana Island!
With her command, a despairingly vast pink aura, brimming with life and malice, erupted from her mountain-sized body like a flood bursting through a dam, instantly enveloping the entire island and thousands of meters of surrounding sea!
"Soul Pocus!"
This was Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit ability! It allowed her to manipulate, extract, and bestow souls at will!
At that moment, she unleashed her ability to its absolute limit without holding anything back!
"Awaken, my children!"
"Offer everything to your mother!!!"
The next second, a terrifying transformation made everyone's scalp prickle!
Rumble-
The whole of Kuraigana Island, this deserted island already reduced to ruins, seemed to come alive at that moment!
The fallen castle masonry, the wooden beams of ruined houses, the bones scattered across the ground, and even every blade of grass and tree on the island were forcibly infused with "Homies" under Big Mom's terrifying soul power!
They twisted, transformed, and reassembled, sprouting hideous faces and limbs!
A dead tree waved its branches and became a spear-wielding treant! A rock split open a huge mouth and became a stone monster capable of devouring everything! A pile of bones reassembled into skeleton soldiers wielding rusty swords, ghostly flames burning in their eyes!
Even the raging sea around them raised towering waves a hundred meters high! Atop those enormous waves, huge faces brimming with greed and malice appeared!
"Wave Homies"!
Above them, the once-clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.
But those were no ordinary dark clouds.
A fire Homie that burned like the sun, radiating terrifying heat-Prometheus!
A thundercloud
