" Diable Jambe - Crushing!"
Sanji appeared in front of Big Mom in an instant, and his right foot, wreathed in flames, kicked down hard at Big Mom.
"Bang!"
A silent sound followed as Sanji kicked Big Mom hard in the way her hands were crossed.
The Armament Haki wrapped around his hands gleamed with a dark luster.
"Boom!"
The next second, the ground beneath the Big Mom's feet collapsed a short distance, cracking into a spiderweb pattern.
"Not bad, kid! You're strong!"
The Big Mom chuckled softly, her tone tinged with appreciation.
"Although I don't hit women, I had no choice but to do this so my companion could escape!"
Sanji looked at the Big Mom and said something.
When Sanji thought of this, Xia Chen's image involuntarily came to mind.
If it were the old him, he would never have laid a hand on a woman under any circumstances.
But Xia Chen brought up this issue with him on one occasion.
Xia Chen asked him one question at that time.
If the enemy is a woman and she attacks our comrades, should we refrain from intervening just because of some so-called "manly spirit"?
Which is more important, a partner's life or one's own beliefs?
Sanji hesitated at that moment and couldn't give a definite answer!
But today, he has shown his thinking through his actions!
"Speaking of which, isn't Xia Chen back yet? Let's hope he doesn't come back until we've defeated all Three Emperors!"
Sanji muttered something under his breath, and the Big Mom in front of him overheard it. She frowned.
"Kid! You're getting shameless just because I praised you a couple of times?"
"You think you can defeat us with this? Isn't that a bit too wishful thinking!"
With that, the Big Mom used all her strength to send Sanji flying.
" Mighty Drum!"
A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky at incredible speed, striking Sanji instantly.
"Snort!"
Sanji couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. His consciousness blurred for a moment.
After the lightning flashed, what Sanji saw was a huge fist gleaming with a dark, ominous light.
"Bang!"
A dull thud resounded, Sanji's body was instantly blasted away, the powerful force carrying him as he swept across the ground.
The Big Mom looked indifferently at Sanji, who was flying backward, and said:
"If that's all the strength they have, they can't possibly dethrone us from the position of the Three Emperors!"
" Three-Sword Style: 1800 Troubles Phoenix!"
A massive Flying Slash of energy shot towards the Big Mom.
"Um?!"
The Big Mom narrowed her eyes, and Napoleon flew down from her head, transforming into a sword, while Prometheus wrapped around Big Mom hair.
The orange flames burned Kumachi, just like Big Mom's hair.
Then a flame shot out from it and wrapped around Napoleon's sword.
" Emperor Sword - Shattering Blade!"
Napoleon's sword would lengthen and grow fangs, slashing down on the oncoming Flying Slash of energy.
It only lasted a moment before Flying Slash was thrown back by the immense force and flew towards the other side of the forest.
"Boom!"
Vast stretches of forest were instantly severed by this Flying Slash, leaving nothing but devastation!
At this moment, Zoro had already arrived in front of Big Mom, and with a push of his feet, he leaped into the air.
He certainly couldn't expect that move to have any real effect on the Big Mom, after all, she was one of the kings of the sea!
" Three-Sword Style: Ultimate Tiger Hunt!"
Zoro swung his two swords fiercely at Big Mom, and a phantom tiger suddenly appeared behind Zoro.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as two swords were pressed firmly against Napoleon.
"Drink!"
Zoro gave a soft shout and suddenly exerted force with both arms, channeling immense power through his two swords onto Big Mom.
"Um?!"
The Big Mom gasped in surprise as she was thrown back, her feet carving a furrow dozens of meters long into the ground.
"Kid! Your strength is a bit outrageous!"
The Big Mom was a little surprised.
She hadn't expected that this guy's strength had surpassed her own, who was born with superhuman strength, just a moment ago.
"That's interesting!"
" Mother Flame!"
Napoleon, wreathed in flames, swung his sword forward with a sudden burst of fire, sending a wave of flames hurtling toward Zoro.
"!!"
Feeling the pressure from the slash, Zoro dodged to the side without hesitation.
Although he was confident he could withstand the attack, it would consume a lot of his energy, so it wasn't worth it!
He's not some kind of physical monster like that Big Mom!
But just as he dodged to the side, another wave of fiery sword energy came hurtling towards him.
Looking around, countless waves of fiery swords simultaneously bombarded him, blocking all his escape routes.
Zoro's eyes narrowed.
"Looks like we have no choice but to take it on!"
If he could, he would definitely choose to dodge first, but there's no way around it now!
"Phew~"
Zoro took a deep breath, then his body trembled violently.
Black gas rose, and the surrounding space seemed to distort at that moment.
The next moment, two more heads suddenly appeared next to Zoro's head, and at the same time, his Three-Sword Style became his Nine-Sword Style.
"Demon Aura: Nine-Sword Style!"
Zoro murmured to himself, and as countless sword waves approached, all nine of his swords moved simultaneously.
" A-Shura - One Mist Silver!"
Nine swords slashed down simultaneously, and the incredibly powerful wave of flames seemed as fragile as paper, instantly turning into mist.
Vanished into the world!
"Phew~"
Zoro exhaled again, his body rising and falling slightly as he breathed.
"Tap tap tap!"
Footsteps came from behind Zoro, and then two figures appeared beside him.
" The Three Emperors Big Mom! She really is a monster!"
Sanji took a drag of his cigarette and said softly.
"Luckily, we only needed to hold her off for a while, otherwise we would have been in real trouble if we were to defeat her!" Usopp said.
" Nami and the others should be almost at the shore by now; it'll be about time we headed back!"
"Don't hold back from now on!"
"Unleash our strongest attack to buy us time to escape!"
Zoro said calmly, his aura suddenly surging.
Sanji and Usopp, standing to the side, were also experiencing a surge of power.
"Oh? Getting ready to unleash your full power?"
The Big Mom chuckled softly.
Zeus immediately flew down from the sky, Prometheus also broke free from her hair, all of them wrapping around Napoleon.
Prometheus held the end of the sword in his mouth, and the top of the sword passed through Zeus, forming an energy ring.
"Then let me see what you're made of!"
As she spoke, the Big Mom raised the combination knife in her hand, and just as she was about to swing it, a series of memory fragments suddenly flashed through her mind...
