The Big Mom, wielding a four-meter-long sword and standing on Zeus, flew out of the castle ruins at lightning speed, her face contorted with rage as she glared at Kazu in the distance.
A terrifying Conqueror's Haki was unleashed once more, wrapping around Napoleon's sword. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, concentrating all his strength into a single point.
" Kazu, you brat, I'll show you how the older generation of pirates survived."
"Take this, Elbaph Spear — Ikoku!"
A dazzling purple light flashed in the sky, and a terrifying purple sword aura, wrapped in black and red Conqueror's Haki coating, shot straight toward Kazu like a giant cannon.
The people around retreated another distance; if they got hit, it wouldn't be a joke.
Even Carlmand, Behrens, and others felt that if they were to be hit head-on, they might be crippled.
"Stop them, don't let them leave here."
Seeing the rest of the Blond Hair Pirates make a tactical retreat, Perospero quickly called Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and the others to give chase.
Now, only Kazu remains standing on the battlefield. Facing the Big Mom's terrifying attack, Kazu also unceremoniously drew his Muramasa.
"How the older generation of pirates survives is none of my business."
"Because, whether they are veterans or newcomers, once they encounter me, they must follow my rules in order to survive."
A heavy, abyss-like Conqueror's Haki erupted from Kazu, making him appear, from an outsider's perspective, like a demon king from hell descending to earth.
Conqueror's Haki coating around the Muramasa sword, and the spatial power compressed by Kazu made it incredibly sharp. The enchantment was applied to the blade, causing it to gleam with a yellowish-white light, like a second sun rising from the earth.
" Conqueror's Coating - Space Rift Blade Slash!"
Kazu unleashed a white Flying Slash, which collided violently with the Ikoku launched by Big Mom.
BOOM!!!!
The deafening roar from the sky echoed throughout the entire island, and even some of the surrounding islands heard it.
"Hey, it seems like Kazu is serious this time."
"This is no ordinary commotion."
Everyone was either worried or amazed, but only Oulait clenched her fist, looking at the two monsters on the battlefield, her heart filled with longing for that kind of swordsmanship.
Although he has been sparring with Kazu whenever he has a spare moment lately, his swordsmanship has indeed improved significantly.
However, compared to Kazu, there is still a significant gap between them, and his path to becoming the strongest swordsman is still long.
While they continued to observe the battle from a distance, the situation in the center of the battlefield changed once again.
Kazu's Space Rift Blade Slash gradually gained the upper hand during its clash with Big Mom's Ikoku.
The power of space was gradually cutting through Big Mom's attack. Although the speed wasn't very fast, as long as an opening appeared, Big Mom's Ikoku would be instantly broken through.
Although the Big Mom has been having children all these years, she hasn't exercised regularly.
However, as a seasoned female pirate emperor who had experienced countless battles, she also discovered this problem.
Just as she was considering whether to fire another shot, Kazu's Space Perception caught her in that moment of distraction.
Space Swap!
"Ah?"
When the Big Mom saw Kazu suddenly appear in front of her, she instinctively looked down at him.
Space Ripple Fist!
Thump!!!
Kazu's punch landed squarely on Big Mom's abdomen. The penetrating power of the spatial fluctuations and the Internal Destruction Armament Haki caused massive damage to Big Mom's body.
The Big Mom flew rapidly towards the castle behind her again, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
My mind was filled with questions about how Kazu suddenly appeared.
She was just exchanging blows with him from a distance, and it's not like she wasn't using her Observation Haki. How did he manage to sneak up on her without her noticing?
Just as the Big Mom was being dealt a heavy blow, Kazu's Space Rift Blade Slash finally broke through Big Mom Ikoku.
Although its power was not as great as at the beginning, its residual force was still not to be underestimated, and it slashed straight at the place where the Big Mom had been sent flying.
"Recover, my entrails!"
The Big Mom quickly conjured up a wisp of soul, swallowed it in one gulp, and then conjured up another wisp of soul and placed it in her abdomen.
The next second, the Big Mom's strength and injuries were greatly restored.
" The Maser Saber."
The Big Mom slashed at Kazu's Flying Slash with her sword, and then with a forceful movement, she cut the remaining attack in two.
Space Swap!
"Seriously, your injuries healed instantly? Are you all monsters?"
As Kazu's voice rang out, Kazu reappeared beside the Big Mom.
However, this time he appeared behind the Big Mom, taking advantage of her dealing with her previous Space Rift Blade Slash, and shamelessly turned his back on her.
" Conqueror's Coating - Space Piercing Fist!"
Kazu delivered a vicious blow to the Big Mom, striking her in the back without hesitation.
BOOM!!!
"Ah!!!"
The Big Mom felt her heart skip a beat, and the sudden pain made her cry out in agony.
