"Mom's fight with Zesi is absolutely terrifying."
"We're done for. At this rate, Whole Cake Island really is in danger!"
"Oh no, Whole Cake Chateau is cracking!"
"Zesi is too strong. Even if Mom can beat him, she won't be able to win quickly or easily!"
"It's more than that. Even I underestimated Natural Disaster Zesi's strength. His Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability is terrifying. Every blow carries dreadful vibrations. Forget Whole Cake Island-at this rate, even Mom..."
"No, we have to think of something, fast!"
"What can we do? We can't stop Mom. It's hard for us to even intervene in a fight like this!"
As they watched the effects of the battle, every member of the Charlotte Family turned ashen.
"It's no use. Mom is truly furious now. There's no way to stop either of them anymore. They won't stop until one of them wins!" Katakuri said flatly.
"Who would have thought a member of the Roger Pirates could have strength like this? Is everyone in the Roger Pirates a monster?" Charlotte Daifuku said.
"Pirate King Roger and his Roger Pirates are truly terrifying. No wonder they were able to reach Laugh Tale. Roger, Dark King Rayleigh, Natural Disaster Zesi, Scopper Gaban, the samurai Kozuki Oden, Demon Heir Bullet, and the others-every single one of them is a terrifying figure capable of holding his own!" Even the members of the Charlotte Family, who took immense pride in the Big Mom Pirates, could not help marveling at the Roger Pirates.
"Big Mom, is this all you've got? If this is the extent of your strength, I'm afraid your voyage ends here today!"
Just then, Zesi's voice suddenly rang out.
At Zesi's words, every member of the Charlotte Family paled, and Katakuri cried out, "Oh no!"
"Overclocked Wave-Stepping Flash!"
"Overclocked Quake Annihilation Hammer!"
An ordinary Wave-Stepping Flash involved only a hundred or a thousand vibrations in an instant, a few thousand at most.
But once it was called overclocked, it involved at least ten thousand vibrations in an instant, or even more than a hundred thousand.
Its speed increased dozens of times over, practically enough to call it teleportation.
An ordinary Quake Annihilation Hammer attacked with a hundred thousand or a million vibrations per second.
But an Overclocked Quake Annihilation Hammer attacked with at least around ten million vibrations.
Zesi vanished from in front of Big Mom as though he had teleported.
While Big Mom was still shocked by Zesi's speed, waves of vibration beyond imagination struck.
Everything around them distorted.
Big Mom's body distorted along with it.
Zesi's fist had already come swinging in from the side, hammering heavily into Big Mom's face.
Big Mom's face and body warped under that fist and within that distorting field.
The tremendous force slammed her hard into the ground.
The side of her face opposite his fist made intimate contact with the earth.
The ground instantly caved in, then sank still farther...
In the blink of an eye, the ground where Big Mom had struck became a basin, or rather, a valley.
The entire stretch of ground had actually sunk more than a hundred meters deep.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"What a terrifying attack!"
"That attack was way too terrifying! It actually reached this level."
"Will Mom be all right?"
The members of the Charlotte Family cried out in alarm.
"That guy really is a freak!" Feiluo said in disbelief.
He had never seen power like this before.
As he understood it, how could a human possibly possess such power?
"Zesi!" An utterly furious roar came from the sunken ground.
At the same time, Zesi shot backward out of the sunken valley.
As he flew backward, a grave expression appeared on Zesi's face, and he looked toward the depression.
Thud, thud, thud! Heavy footsteps rang out.
Big Mom walked out of the depression with immensely heavy steps.
"Aah!" As soon as Big Mom emerged, she threw back her head and roared.
The terrifying, unnatural sound forced everyone around her to cover their ears and let out cries of pain.
"Mom!"
"Look at Mom's eyes!"
"Mom's eyes have turned red!"
"Are Mom's hunger pangs acting up?"
"It's a little different from her hunger pangs. She seems even more berserk."
"I've never seen Mom in this state before!"
The members of the Charlotte Family all looked disbelieving.
At that moment, Big Mom's eyes had turned completely blood-red, a savage expression covered her face, and her hair flew wildly.
"Has she entered a berserk state and lost her reason? But what's with this monstrous strength?" Zesi said in surprise.
Just now, Zesi had landed an Overclocked Quake Annihilation Hammer squarely on Big Mom.
Even Big Mom had spat out a great mouthful of blood after taking that heavy punch head-on.
That punch had seriously injured Big Mom.
But just as Zesi thought he had badly wounded Big Mom, he suddenly sensed immense danger.
Zesi retreated without thinking, and just then, Big Mom threw a punch at him.
Zesi blocked with both hands and immediately felt an utterly terrifying force surge from Big Mom's fist.
That force was around ten times greater than the power of Big Mom's earlier punches.
Only by relying on his powerful Armament Haki, his body's defenses, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's countershock ability had Zesi barely managed to neutralize it.
Otherwise, that single punch would have been enough to seriously injure him.
That was why Zesi was so shocked that Big Mom had suddenly unleashed such a powerful attack.
When he saw Big Mom's blood-red eyes, he immediately knew that she had fallen into a berserk state.
