Pirates: Martial Arts Masters on the Straw Hat Ship

Just as Big Mom's body had barely risen half a meter, in that absolute instant before the counterattack of the unknown soul had fully taken shape—

"Clang!!!"

A blindingly cold light, tearing apart the dawn and instantly blinding everyone present, suddenly exploded in the gale!

No one saw how Ronan made his move.

They heard a terrifying sonic boom that seemed to pierce through space itself, followed by a violent gust of wind that instantly shredded all the rocks within hundreds of meters into dust!

Ronan appeared on Big Mom's chest as if he had teleported, his eyes as cold as eternal ice.

The eighteen-foot spear in his hand, gleaming with a bloodthirsty, cold light, pierced through Big Mom's chest, nicknamed "Iron Balloon," with an unparalleled and devastating force, like a meteor piercing the heavens and the earth!

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered!

The eighteen-foot-long spear plunged deep into the earth, pinning Big Mom's massive body to the ravaged rock face like a specimen!

The earth trembled violently from the blow, cracking open countless terrifying abyssal fissures.

"you--!"

The eerie soul let out a horrified scream, clearly never expecting that someone in the world could possess such terrifying destructive power, capable of instantly shattering the body's absolute defenses.

But Ronan's attack is far from over.

"Since you're a filthy thing that can't stand the light of day, you'd better get back to your place and lie down!"

A savage red glint flashed in Ronan's eyes.

The next second, a terrifying aura, deep red and mixed with black lightning, erupted from Ronan's body without reservation, as if ten thousand mountains had collapsed at the same time!

Conqueror's Haki!

However, this domineering aura did not spread indiscriminately in all directions. Instead, Ronan, with his abnormal micro-management skills, precisely compressed it into an invisible, towering pillar!

boom!!!

This Conqueror's Haki, compressed to its extreme, carried a terrifying will to destroy the soul. Not a single bit was wasted; it completely and solidly bombarded Big Mom's newly revived sea of ​​consciousness, suppressing the strange soul above its head!

The air seemed to groan under the immense pressure, and even the light distorted under this compressed, domineering force.

The eerie soul that had just been spouting nonsense had its crimson light in its eyes dim instantly, like a candle being extinguished, under Ronan's unparalleled physical and spiritual double strike.

Ronan held the gun in one hand, like a supreme god suppressing the abyss. His cold gaze pierced through the swirling dust and landed on Brin, who had just suffered a mental backlash and was swaying slightly not far away.

"Pureen!"

Ronan's voice echoed like a resounding bell along the silent coastline:

"Use your power to utterly destroy this wretched old ghost, lurking deep within your Mama's body. Leave not a trace."

Upon hearing Ronan's instruction, Brin took a deep breath.

She raised her slightly trembling arm and used the back of her hand to fiercely wipe away the glaring blood from the corner of her mouth.

The crimson bloodstains contrasted sharply with her fair face, but instead of making her look disheveled, they added an unprecedented sense of determination and sorrow.

"Yes, Lord Ronan!"

Brin suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a fanatical and resolute determination to sever all past weaknesses.

In an instant, the third eye in the center of her forehead, which had been slightly dimmed due to the backlash, once again emitted a dense, deep purple divine light!

With terrifying power to purify all the filth in the world, it suddenly enveloped the head of Big Mom, who was pinned to the ground by a spear!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The moment the purple light entered her body, Big Mom's massive, mountain-like body tensed up abruptly, and from her gaping maw burst forth an extremely shrill scream, a scream that was completely unlike Charlotte Linlin's.

This is a soul-crushing battle where no swords are drawn, yet it is far more dangerous than any physical fight!

The eerie soul hidden deep within Big Mom's consciousness—or rather, the malice accumulated over decades—is struggling and retaliating frantically.

However, its resistance was utterly laughable in the face of Ronan, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Ronan's deep red Conqueror's Haki, interspersed with black lightning, was like a mountain range, pressing down on the soul and locking away all the resentment surging around it.

Under Ronan's absolute suppression, Brin's purple divine light, imbued with the Three-Eyed Clan's talent, transformed into the most merciless flames in the world.

The purple light, like boiling water splashed on snow, frantically melted and purified the foreign soul that was parasitizing Big Mom's body.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Accompanied by a chilling burning sound, thick black smoke began to gush out of BIG MOM's seven orifices.

The black smoke twisted and gathered wildly in mid-air, and vaguely transformed into the face of an old woman with a withered face and a ferocious, resentful expression!

The old woman's face struggled wildly under the scorching purple light, uttering silent, vicious curses, but could only shatter inch by inch under the crushing force of Conqueror's Haki.

"No! I've been hiding for so many years! This perfect body is mine... mine—!"

With a final, desperate roar filled with resentment, the old woman's face, composed of black smoke, exploded in a dense purple light.

It turned into countless tiny black dust particles, which were eventually completely dispersed by the cold sea breeze, leaving not even a trace of its soul behind.

Just as the plume of black smoke completely dissipated, Perospero, who had been watching intently, seemed struck by a flash of lightning. His eyes widened suddenly, his signature long tongue lolled out, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise:

"Lick... I see! So that's how it is!"

Charlotte Daifuku, standing beside him, was startled by his sudden action and frowned as she asked:

"Brother Perospero, why are you making such a fuss? What do you know?"

This exclamation drew a slight glance from Ronan, who was standing next to Big Mom, who cast a scrutinizing look at him.

Meeting Ronan's gaze, Perospero shuddered, quickly suppressing his exaggerated expression and explaining with an extremely serious, even slightly fearful, demeanor:

"That face... if I'm not mistaken, that's Sister Carmel!"

"I once heard Mama mention that her ability to manipulate souls, the 'Soul-Soul Fruit,' came from Sister Carmel, who adopted her when she was a child."

"Because that nun was the previous user of the Soul-Soul Fruit!"
