"Big Mom! You've come to take Zeus back? But she's become a very good friend of mine. Can't you respect Zeus's wishes? If he wants to stay, can you please not take her away?"
Nami was already hovering in mid-air, launching her attacks from a distance, giving her a wide and unobstructed view. Big Mom just flew over so brazenly, it was hard for Nami not to see her.
She had been wary of this veteran Four Emperors who had a grudge against them for a long time, but she didn't expect that the first thing the Big Mom would say was to ask her for Zeus.
Zeus has been with Nami for over ten years, and the Big Mom has never come looking for her. Now, she and Zeus have become very good friends!
Even though she no longer needed Zeus to help her fight, she never thought of abandoning Zeus. Even when the Big Mom who created Zeus came to demand him back, she wanted to discuss it and see what Zeus would choose!
Nami can multitask without any problems. Most of her moves involve using the power of heaven and earth for long-range attacks, such as lightning, gales, frost, rain, and snow. It's very difficult for enemies to get close to her when she's distracted, which is why she dares to chat with the Big Mom like this!
"Alright! Then release Zeus and see who he chooses."
Actually, the Big Mom doesn't care much about Zeus anymore, because she has created a replacement for Zeus using her own soul, whose ability to unleash lightning is even more powerful.
So even if she gets Zeus back, she'll destroy him. After all, Zeus betrayed her, so she can't keep him. Big Mom just wants a pretext to get involved in Nami and the God's Knights's battle.
"Hurrah!"
Nami controlled the thunderclouds in the sky, unleashing several more bolts of purple lightning as thick as buckets at the two God's Knights on the ground. Then, she excitedly pulled a shortened Clima-Tact from her chest and released Zeus from it.
Zeus happily emerged from the Clima-Tact, but upon seeing the Big Mom's face, he was instantly terrified and teleported behind Nami.
Regardless of the Big Mom's darkening expression, Nami smiled happily, because she already knew Zeus's choice, and so did the Big Mom!
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Without Conqueror's Haki, you can't handle these people. You come and assist me; I'll take the lead on the ground!"
After the Big Mom finished speaking, she controlled Prometheus to fall to the ground, and Napoleon in her hand was already wrapped in black and red Inazuma.
"Hey! Big Mom! You..."
Nami watched the departing Big Mom, sighing inwardly at how unpredictable things could be; former enemies were now actually joining forces against each other.
She glanced at Luffy's side, because Luffy had done the same feat during the Paramount War. Luffy had this kind of magic that turned even enemies into allies!
Nami's previous two-against-one opponents were Gunko and a beautiful woman with long black hair, making it a battle between women!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Nami couldn't even withstand a single move from Gunko in Elbaf ten years ago. Now, Nami's understanding of the Laws is almost unparalleled, making her the number one person below the God Realm!
Even though Gunko's arrows are somewhat like conceptual moves, hitting exactly where he points, in front of Nami, who is about to master the Laws, the bandaged arrows are no longer Gunko's weapon of command!
It's no longer a conceptual object that can be pointed at and used to control others to move in the direction of arrows. At most, it's a Paramecia ability with a high degree of freedom that can transform into other objects like origami!
The Big Mom chose that beautiful woman with long black hair as her opponent; this woman had also appeared in the God Valley Incident fifty years ago!
But fifty years later, there is not a trace of the passage of time on her face. She is also a powerful swordswoman!
The first move the Big Mom made when she clashed with the female knight was a clash of swords and blades, both Conqueror's Haki Coating!
The immense mental shock materialized, rapidly spreading outwards from the two individuals!
The pirates who tried to approach the Thousand Sunny from this direction and rushed near them were instantly doomed. Not only were they thrown back by the shockwave, but the mental impact also caused them to lose consciousness, and they were sent flying like rag dolls!
Afterwards, more pirates were affected by this mental shockwave. Those pirates with weak will and insufficient strength were mostly knocked unconscious, and many others had their legs go weak and could not stand up!
However, the mental impact wasn't as effective further away, but it did relieve some pressure on those preventing the pirates from getting close to the Thousand Sunny!
If the Big Mom were still at her peak, this clash wouldn't have been a match for the female knight. However, the Big Mom is old, while her opponent is still in her prime, which is quite a sad situation!
Actually, the two women had met in God Valley. The Big Mom had already reached her peak at that time, while the God's Knights had only recently joined the Holy Knights and was much younger than the Big Mom.
Both had witnessed each other's strength at the time, and the Big Mom was undoubtedly superior—this was a consensus between them.
Even though this female knight continued to grow stronger over the years, she was never as powerful as the Big Mom from the God Valley Incident era.
Fifty years have passed, and the Big Mom is now very old, while the female knight remains as young and beautiful as ever. The old woman wants to know why? What makes her so special?
Why can you stay young and stronger, while I have to succumb to time and decline in strength?
So the Big Mom immediately set her sights on this female knight, as if to vent her dissatisfaction or to express her anger at the injustice of time. She wanted to destroy this woman who had deceived time!
She hadn't expected the female knight to be so strong now, holding her own against her in a single exchange of blows, which fueled her anger even more!
"Huh! You're so angry? That's Conqueror's Haki! Why don't I have it?"
Nami sensed Big Mom's anger and was somewhat confused, but she still envied the clash of their Conqueror's Haki Coating.
She is extremely powerful in terms of Laws, but she lacks Conqueror's Haki, and her Armament Haki and Observation Haki are also mediocre.
It's more than enough to deal with ordinary enemies, even if their Three Types of Haki are extremely powerful!
However, she was at a disadvantage when faced with an immortal being. After all, she had not yet broken through to the God Domain and could not rely on her level to crush them. She also did not have the assistance of Conqueror's Haki. At most, she could only keep injuring the opponent and hold them off!
"This should be pretty much my final battle as a butterfly without flapping its wings!"
If you replace Nami with Yamato and Ace with Blackbeard, the difference in combat power between the two sides should be negligible!
Ultimately, success or failure rests on Luffy's shoulders. It all depends on whether he can break through to the God Realm in his battle with Imu. I've made so many changes; surely the ending can't be worse than the original one!
Seeing Luffy's camp temporarily gaining the upper hand, Vic, who was watching the battle from the Dimensional Space, muttered to himself.
