Considering Vic's current identity and strength, as well as his relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami felt as if she had found another shortcut. As long as this path wasn't blocked, she wouldn't be able to overcome her fear and fight to the death!
Chopper, who is also one of the cowardly trio, is similar to Nami. He is usually afraid of this and that, but when he really fights for his life, he dares to fight even the Four Emperors. He is known as the most cost-effective pet, with a bounty of tens of Beli, but he fights for hundreds of millions!
"No way! If I can't even protect my crew, what right do I have to be a captain? If I can't even defeat one of the Four Emperors, how can I be the Pirate King? If I don't even dare to challenge them, I might as well disband the crew right now! Besides, we're just going to bring Sanji back; we might not even face Big Mom head-on!"
Luffy had just been feeling a bit down, immediately became serious after hearing Nami's discouraging words, and his words carried a Haki (referring to his demeanor).
Luffy may have passively accepted a lot of help in the past, but to expect him to ask for help without even trying? Wouldn't that mean he'd wasted the last two years of his training?
However, thinking back to the despair and helplessness that Kizaru brought them in Sabaody two years ago, Luffy calmed down. Of course, it would be best to bring Sanji back without alerting Four Emperors Big Mom!
Luffy is still Luffy. If he always relied on others for everything, he would have become a Marine long ago. It is because he has his own firm ambition that he set sail and became a pirate. It is unlikely that Nami can change his mind. Moreover, if she pushes him too hard or their opinions differ too much, Luffy will most likely disband his pirate crew and return to Foosha Village to get married and have children!
The captain has made his decision, so there's nothing more to say. Unless they voluntarily withdraw, but the Straw Hat Pirates have been through so much together, how could they possibly back down just because the enemy is strong? They should have retreated back in Alabasta!
So after Luffy made his decision, Nami and Chopper were prepared to Gunko, especially since they were doing it to save Sanji, which made it all the more meaningful!
Luffy and his crew's journey on Whole Cake Island is largely the same as in the original manga. They also encountered Cracker at the beginning, and after Luffy finally defeated Cracker, they met Capone Bege, who wanted to betray Big Mom. After negotiations, the two sides formed an alliance, and their plan was to use the photo of Mother Carmel to create an opportunity to kill Big Mom!
Big Mom certainly has many weaknesses, but for Supernovas like Capone, the only one that can be exploited is destroying the photo of Sister Nymph, causing Big Mom to lose her mind and lose the defense of the Iron Balloon.
Other things could backfire, such as Hunger Pangs. Capone might be eaten alive in no time, unable to resist. The Iron Balloon is no joke.
Although the convenience of Brulee's Mirror-Mirror Fruit power is gone, it's still not difficult to destroy a photo at a wedding with so many people. Bege's identity is very useful, not to mention Stussy taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
The absence of the bomb in the Tamatebako) caused a riot that allowed Stussy to take advantage of the chaos, but the King of Loan Sharks Du Feld had to die, as it involved one of her secrets.
Moreover, Stussy was highly skilled with her Flying Finger Pistol, capable of killing silently from a distance. She made her move when everyone's attention was focused on the wedding. Although no one paid attention to anything other than the wedding, the large pool of blood that flowed out after Du Feld was hit still caused chaos.
The presence of a hidden assassin has everyone on edge. No one knows if the assassin will continue. Even Katakuri's attention has been diverted; he doesn't want any major trouble to happen at his sister's wedding.
At that moment, Capone, who had been hiding among his own, seized the opportunity to smash the nun's photo. This was even better timing than in the original story. In the original story, Katakuri, a powerful figure who could Future Sight, was always watching, making it difficult to find an opportunity to smash the photo. It was only after Luffy, the main attacker, was captured by Katakuri that Brook had the chance to strike unexpectedly.
Stussy deliberately diverted Big Mom's attention, which Capone accomplished without much effort. Big Mom then went berserk, unleashing her powerful Conqueror's Haki like it was free. This was something Capone hadn't anticipated. He wanted to take advantage of Big Mom's momentary lapse in concentration and lack of defense to kill her, but he couldn't even get close. Maintaining his composure was difficult; the Conqueror's Haki of Four Emperors is not so gentle!
With Big Mom unleashing her Conqueror's Haki a madwoman, the battlefield became even more chaotic. It was at this moment that Luffy, who had been hiding all along, appeared.
Capone couldn't hold out with his Conqueror's Haki, but Luffy was still able to hold out for a while. However, he managed to hit Big Mom dozens of times with his Elephant Gun Gatling without managing to do anything to her. Luffy finally realized that there was still a gap between himself and the Four Emperors. But his dozens of punches did wake Big Mom up. Naturally, Big Mom wouldn't let Luffy, the uninvited guest who had hit her, get away with it!
" Straw Hat Luffy! You're the kid who made Jinbe want to leave our pirate crew! Die!"
Even when Luffy instantly transformed into Gear Fourth Boundman, he couldn't withstand Big Mom's furious punch imbued with Armament Haki. He deflated and was forced back to his original form in just one blow!
Luffy was defeated in one move, which shows the Haki of the Four Emperors. It's something that Luffy, who only knows basic Haki, can't compare to. It's just that Jinbe was here too, otherwise Luffy's path to becoming the Pirate King would have been cut short here!
"Brother Luffy! You guys go first, I'll hold her off!"
Jinbe! Be careful, she's strong!
"Don't worry! I can hold her off. You all get out of here!"
Jinbe truly lives up to his reputation as the best leader of everyone on Fish-Man Island; he's reliable. He stopped Big Mom from finishing off Luffy, Luffy to quickly take Sanji and leave. He had already drunk the severance drink with Big Mom and was no longer one of her Big Mom. Now, he would fight for his new captain Luffy!
" Straw Hat Boy! You ruined my sister's wedding today. Logically, my brothers and sisters should all gang up on you and kill you, but because of that person, I can fight you one-on-one. If you can defeat me, I'll let you all go. That's my promise, Katakuri!"
Although Jinbe held off Four Emperors Big Mom, Big Mom had too many women, many of whom were very strong. So even with Capone's crew, they weren't enough to defeat all of her children. Luffy was then caught up by Katakuri had deliberately left the fight open.
With Katakuri, a very authoritative older brother, speaking up, the others simply stood by without making a move, partly because they trusted that their undefeated brother wouldn't lose.
Oh right, he did lose once, to Vice Admiral Dark Dragon of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. But now that guy is one of the Four Emperors, someone their mothers are old enough to forget. So that defeat can't be taken so seriously. But what is this Straw Hat Boy in front of them? Just a kid. They certainly wouldn't take him seriously.
Actually, Katakuri recognized Luffy when he Luffy at the wedding. He wasn't someone who needed special attention, but during the Paramount War, Straw Hat Boy was with Vic.
He had paid special attention to this matter at the time. There was also the connection between the two of them, the Marine Garp the Hero. One was a master and apprentice, and the other was a grandfather and grandson. They were all related by blood. In addition, Vic had easily suppressed his mother's strength on Whole Cake Island last time. He was really afraid that if he killed Straw Hat Boy without knowing the truth, he would summon this villain!
Last time, we had to agree to three conditions to resolve the situation peacefully, thankfully no one died. If someone had died this time, I don't know how we would have ended it.
Therefore, Katakuri dared not let his brothers and sisters gang up on him. It can be said that Luffy has unknowingly enjoyed the benefits that Vic brought him, simply because Vic conquered Whole Cake Island and he once stood with Vic!
It's not impossible to defeat the Straw Hat Boy, but a group attack shouldn't be used. He has a feeling that if he takes down the Straw Hat Boy by himself, someone like Vic won't bother him, since it's a fair fight.
