After she extended the invitation to Luo Chen, everything around seemed to fall silent. Even Luo Chen fell silent after hearing it. After a while, he looked up and they looked at each other before he spoke.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! Big Mom, I defeated your proudest son Katakuri and shattered the prestige of your Charlotte Family, and now you're extending an invitation? Isn't that the biggest joke ever?!"
Besides, what makes you think I would accept your invitation and become a member of your Charlotte Family?
His words contained both a strange undertone of valuing her talent and a chilling sense of cold indifference towards his subordinates, especially his family.
"Well, it's alright. As long as you're willing to become my subordinate, I'd even give you Katakuri's position. As long as you have the strength to maintain it, it's fine."
So, what's your answer? Join us here and let your companions live, or refuse and die by my Emperor Sword? Make your choice and answer me now, Luo Chen!!"
Although Luo Chen provoked her like that, what kind of person is BIGMOM? As long as it benefits her, she can disregard even her son and the lives of her subordinates. Naturally, she will not be easily angered by Luo Chen's words, and her attitude becomes more amiable as she formally extends an invitation to him.
"Uh, haha, I'm sorry, but my capacity is far beyond your reach Charlotte Linlin. I decline your invitation."
Bring on the consequences! I'll show you that even a nobody can have Heaven Shaker feats. Let me witness firsthand your true power as one of the Four Emperors!
Without much consideration, Luo Chen refused outright, his expression resolute and resolute.
"Is that so? Since you've chosen the path of death, then don't blame me..."
boom...
Upon hearing Luo Chen's reply, BIGMOM's face darkened instantly. Her Conqueror's Haki erupted from her body, causing the air currents to become turbulent and her aura to spread in all directions. The sea surface not far away rippled, and the seawater surged continuously. Her aura became even more terrifying.
"Since you've made your choice, then take this! Emperor Sword... Broken Blade!!"
Swoosh...
Having said that, BIGMOM swung the Emperor Sword, wreathed in flames, and slashed at Luo Chen.
" Black Sword... Armament!!"
In response, Luo Chen simultaneously drew his sword, a dense black Armament Haki swirling around its blade, and swung it down.
Clang!!
Buzzing...
As the two blades clashed, powerful shockwaves erupted from beneath the swords, and translucent ripples of air Current Severance out like waves.
"You think you can Wrestling me?! Break!"
Bang...
As he spoke, BIGMOM suddenly increased the force in his hand, and with a powerful sweep, a tremendous force was transmitted to the blade and flowed into his body, sending Luo Chen flying heavily.
boom...
A Shadow Flash by, and in the distance, amidst the rising dust, a large, human-shaped crater, about three or four meters deep and five or six meters in diameter, instantly formed. Having taken a hit from BIGMOM, Luo Chen didn't even have the strength to stand up again, and blood flowed from the skeletal wound on his chest.
Thump... thump... thump...
BIGMOM jumped off Zeus and strode toward him with her large, thick legs. As she got closer, she looked down at Luo Chen below and raised her lips in a mocking tone.
"What, is that all you've got? I thought you could hold out a little longer, but you're finished so quickly? In that case, you can watch your companions die right now, Zeus!!"
After speaking, Big Mom called upon Zeus was beside her.
"Yes, Mom!!"
Zeus, in perfect harmony with her thoughts, immediately flew over, ascending along her arm to above her. His size continued to grow until he enveloped everyone on the Isel, who had returned to the ship and were preparing to leave on Luo Chen's orders.
"Oh no! We need to furl the sails right now and get out of here immediately..."
Seeing the sky shrouded in dark clouds, with occasional flashes of golden lightning, Catherine and Phil on the ship immediately sensed something was wrong and gave instructions almost simultaneously.
Click...
Click...
Before BIGMOM could even control the weather, the dark clouds that had accumulated too much lightning couldn't withstand it any longer, and bolts of Inazuma struck down. Although they didn't hit the Isel precisely, they still exploded nearby. The waves surged, and the spray kept pounding against the hull, making the people on board even more anxious. They moved around and completed all the preparations.
"Okay, okay, don't rush, just watch closely, Inazuma... Thunderbolt!!"
A wisp of dark cloud swirled in BIGMOM's hand, which she used to control and draw in the lightning above, before unleashing a powerful swing when it had accumulated to its maximum.
Click!!!
boom!!
A thunderbolt of Heaven Shaker- shattering power struck down, its accumulated lightning forming a powerful, concentrated beam of light that blasted directly downwards.
"Hold on tight, we have to escape... Secret Technique... Flying Swallow... Slash!!"
call out...
Catherine stood on the stern deck, gripping her sword Flowing Shadow. At the peak of her power, she opened her eyes, a sharp glint in them, and drew her sword, shouting.
With a flash of sword light, the silvery-white sword energy transformed into a soaring Flying Swallow and crashed into the sea in front of it.
boom...
The waves surged and the sea level rose, and the ship, startled by the churning water, slowly rose into the air and flew upwards and forwards.
"Still too slow. Let me lend you a hand, Blue Light... Fleeting Moment!!"
A blue, eerie light spread out, and the entire ship shot forward at Extreme Speed.
boom...
Less than a second after they left, the lightning bolt struck, the sea surface exploded, and the terrifying temperature evaporated a large area of seawater, leaving a huge hole in the sea in an instant.
Splash...
Before long, the seawater surged, and the blank space was slowly filled in.
"Um??"
BIGMOM looked at the Isel soaring through the sky, now beyond her control, with some surprise. She said nothing more, but her expression betrayed her astonishment and bewilderment.
"Hahaha, it seems your scheme failed, Big Mom. My companions have all escaped your clutches unharmed. Now it's just the two of us. Come on, let's have a good fight..."
Thanks to the amazing regenerative power of the Mythical Zoan, Luo Chen's strength was slightly restored, and his injuries were alleviated. He dragged his battered body to his feet again.
"Oh, really? Then let me see your full power!"
BIGMOM showed no concern whatsoever. To her, Luo Chen was already at his limit. What good would it do even if he exerted all his strength? He was still just a puppet in her hands, completely at her mercy.
Oh~~
Despite being so disrespected by Big Mom, Luo Chen did not lose his composure in anger. Instead, he shifted his momentum and unleashed the Conqueror's Haki he had just used once more, but Luo Chen did not notice it. He concentrated all his energy and gathered all the power within his body into a single strike.
Luo Chen's unique abilities Blood Breath and Three Types of Haki, intertwined and condensed into a red and black energy sphere in his palm.
"BIGMOM, this is all the power I can control right now. Take this! Ultimate Technique... Heaven -Heaven Shaker!!"
call out...
With that, he pushed his arm forward with a jolt, and the ball of light streaked through the air, shooting towards BIGMOM in front of him.
"Is this it? It's somewhat conscious, but..."
Seeing the energy sphere hurtling towards him at Extreme Speed, BIGMOM chuckled, then raised the Emperor Sword and swung it forward with great force.
" Sovereignty!!"
boom...
Silvery-white and crimson-black light intertwined, enveloping the sky and everything around it in this white and crimson-black radiance.
boom...
Click click... bang!!
Whoosh~
After an unknown amount of time, the Flying Slash shattered the light sphere and slashed towards Luo Chen, who was standing directly in front of him. At this moment, Luo Chen was unable to dodge because he had used up his last bit of strength and was hit head-on by Flying Slash wave.
