One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The moment when Autumn Water and Napoleon collided—

boom!!!

The shockwave exploded between the two.

Charlotte Linlin's strike was devoid of any fancy moves; it was pure, overwhelming power.

The blade was wreathed in purplish-black Conqueror's Haki, and the air was torn apart wherever the blade passed, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Roy parried with his sword. The instant Qiu Shui clashed with Napoleon—BOOM!!!

The shockwave exploded between the two.

The sea surface below was pressed into a huge depression with a diameter of 100 meters, and the seawater surged wildly in all directions, creating water walls that were more than ten meters high.

In the distance, rocks on the cliffs of Ghost Island were shaken and fell down in a rustling sound, and even Quinn on the Hades deck felt the tremors beneath his feet.

Roy's hand felt slightly numb.

He felt the terrifying force coming from his wrist, and a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Big Mom's superhuman strength is on par with Kaido's.

A natural destroyer who could kill a giant hero at the age of five, her pure physical strength is so great that there are few people in the entire pirate world who can stand up to her head-on.

Roy's Conqueror's Haki also enveloped the Shusui Blade, forcefully blocking Napoleon's blade.

"You're quite strong."

Roy grinned, flicked his wrist, and Qiu Shui slid off Napoleon's blade. He then swung his sword back at Lingling's neck.

Lingling turned her head to avoid it, but Roy's slash didn't stop after just one strike.

Autumn Water transformed into streaks of black light in his hands, unleashing seven consecutive slashes, each precisely striking Lingling's vital areas such as her shoulder, neck, waist, and legs.

The blade made a crisp clanging sound as it struck Lingling's skin, like hitting a solid iron ingot.

All seven strikes hit their mark.

But the blade only left a faint white mark on Lingling's skin, without drawing a single drop of blood.

Lingling looked down at the white marks on her body and grinned.

That smile was full of contempt and smugness.

"Mama—I've been invulnerable since birth! When I was five, I slapped a giant's sword off."

I've never been injured in my life! Your little slash isn't even enough to tickle me!

As she spoke, she slapped him with her backhand.

That hand was as large and thick as a palm fan, yet the wind from its palm was so fierce it was suffocating.

Roy instantly deployed a psychic barrier, but when Lingling's palm struck the barrier, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a mountain.

He was sent flying dozens of meters away, tumbling twice in the air before regaining his balance.

"Steel Balloon".

After regaining his balance, Roy muttered something under his breath.

BIG MOM's body has an incredibly abnormal level of defense.

It's not about Haki or Devil Fruit abilities; it's purely about physical strength.

This innate monstrous physique makes her skin harder than seastone, making it impossible for ordinary slashes to penetrate her defenses.

In the original story, her knee injury from kneeling on the ground caused panic throughout Whole Cake Island, because it was the first time she had ever been injured in her life.

Since physical attacks have limited effectiveness, let's try a different approach.

A cold glint flashed in Roy's eyes, and his psychic power condensed into an invisible sharp cone, silently piercing into the depths of Lingling's consciousness.

Psychological shock.

If an ordinary person were hit by this, they would either faint or become mentally disabled.

Lingling's movements indeed paused for a moment.

The smile on her face froze, the Napoleon in her hand stopped in mid-air, and a trace of confusion flashed in her large, bell-like eyes.

But only for a moment.

She suddenly shook her head, and a purplish-black soul light suddenly surged from her eyes.

The light, like flames, erupted from the depths of her pupils, carrying a chaotic and powerful mental fluctuation, and surged back towards Roy.

"Mama! Trying to control me?"

Lingling's voice was filled with offended anger.

"You think your soul can compare to my Soul-Soul Fruit?!"

The mental wave crashed into Roy's psychic barrier, sending him sliding back several meters.

It wasn't a physical impact, but pure spiritual power. Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit provided virtually impenetrable defense on a spiritual level.

She enveloped her entire body with her soul power, and any external mental attacks would be blocked by this soul armor.

Roy steadied himself, a knowing glint in his eyes. It wasn't that easy after all.

The Soul-Soul Fruit's power is the manipulation of souls. Using soul-based attacks to strike a Soul-Soul Fruit user is like trying to drown a fish with water.

Lingling was completely enraged by this.

With a flick of her wrists, dozens of her soul fragments flew out of her body and were simultaneously absorbed by Prometheus and Zeus.

The fireball Homie and the thundercloud Homie simultaneously erupted with blinding light, flames and lightning intertwined, raining down on Roy.

Roy used his left hand to create a psychic barrier to block the flames and lightning, and with his right hand, he swung his sword to shatter the incoming soul clones.

Flames exploded on the psychic barrier, scattering sparks everywhere. Lightning crackled across the barrier's surface, and fragments of the soul clone turned into wisps of smoke in the air.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lingling closed in, and Napoleon transformed into a giant sword, each strike imbued with the dual power of Conqueror's Haki and soul strength.

Her swordsmanship was not particularly refined, but her terrifying strength and speed made up for all her technical shortcomings.

Each sword strike felt like the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking; the sea beneath Roy's feet was cleaved into deep trenches by the sword energy.

The two fought from mid-air to the sea surface, and then back to mid-air.

Wherever it passed, the seawater boiled and churned, the clouds were torn to shreds by the aftershocks of the clash of the Conqueror's Haki, and one after another, vacuum-like holes appeared in the sky.

Roy frowned more and more as he fought; Big Mom was indeed a difficult woman to deal with.

With the defensive capabilities of the steel balloon combined with the soul enhancement of the Soul-Soul Fruit, it is an all-around weapon with almost no obvious weaknesses.

Physical attacks couldn't break through her defenses, and mental attacks were countered by the Soul-Soul Fruit, so he could only rely on telekinesis and slashes to continuously deplete her stamina.

However, it is almost impossible for two emperors of the same level to determine a winner in a short period of time.

He can stall, but it's hard to say who benefits more from dragging it out.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a golden lion's sharp laughter echoed from the distant sky.

"Hahaha! Those two brats are having quite a show!"

Roy's Observation Haki swept over instantly.

While Shiki was locked in aerial combat with Kaido, he was secretly making a move – he manipulated several floating islands to change direction and begin drifting towards Onigashima.

He stood on the largest island and fought against Kaido.

That old fox.

Golden Lion had the same idea as Roy—to hold back the strongest fighters while his subordinates launched a surprise attack on Onigashima.

He doesn't need to defeat Kaido; as long as he gets his fleet and floating islands to Onigashima, the landing force can directly threaten Pluton.

Lingling also saw this scene, and a greedy smile appeared on her lips.

She turned her head and yelled behind her.

"Perospero! Katakuri! Go around this area and head straight for Onigashima!"

"Take Hades from me!"
