The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

A sharp shout jolted Big Mom out of her affected state!

It's in Katakuri, far away!

He endured the chilling pressure from Gern, relying on his own unwavering will and keen insight into his mother's condition.

He instantly realized that his mother's mind had been shaken by Gern's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki!

If we continue to indulge in this, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Katakuri's arms instantly transformed into flowing white rice balls, rapidly extending and expanding!

The special Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit's power was pushed to its limit!

Using his mochi-shaped arms, he efficiently subdued those around him who had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki.

His younger siblings, who had collapsed in fear, quickly wrapped themselves up in his arms, demonstrating his reliability and responsibility as the pillar of the family.

"Mom! Wake up!!" Katakuri shouted at Big Mom with all his might as he moved, trying to rouse her from her reverie.

"You are the sole ruler of Totto Land!! You are one of the Four Emperors, don't let his domineering aura affect your mind!!"

Katakuri's words struck Big Mom hard in her chaotic thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, he made the most rational decision, one that was also most in line with his personality.

He first gave Gern a deep look, then shouted at Big Mom

"Mom, I'll take the family away!!"

Having said that, he held his unconscious younger brother and sister-in-law in his arms, and with a sudden burst of strength, the glutinous rice power formed a springy platform under his feet.

He retreated rapidly like an arrow released from a bow, with a clear objective.

Prioritize evacuation and protect family members!

That's right!

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, Katakuri knew perfectly well that even if he joined forces with his mother...

To kill a fully-fledged "King-level" expert in a short time is utterly delusional.

On the contrary, the fierce fighting may lead to more innocent family members being injured or killed.

He values ​​family ties and places his family in a very important position; he would never abandon his defenseless younger siblings.

Join forces with your mother in a siege with an unpredictable outcome and a doomed prospect.

His choice was to protect.

In the face of absolute crisis, preserving the family is the top priority!

Katakuri's decisive action and shout gave Big Mom a shot in the arm, and also helped her break free from the influence of Guin's domineering aura.

His eyes refocused, watching Katakuri lead his family away, then looked ahead at Guern.

A fierce will, a mixture of rage, humiliation, and the determination to defend one's territory, ignited once again!

"Gern!!!"

“Ha.” Gern sneered.

"Wei Guo!!" The old woman let out a roar that shattered the heavens, and her massive body unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to her size!

Zeus, the thundercloud, coiled upwards, and dazzling purple lightning instantly covered Napoleon's blade.

He then leaped into the air, his massive body nimbly somersaulting forward.

Using the momentum of its descent, the Emperor's Sword transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the sky, slashing down towards Gern!

"Clang!!!"

With sharp eyes and bulging arm muscles, Gern held up the Eight Directions sword, forcefully withstanding the thunderous blow!

The already cracked ground beneath their feet could no longer bear the pressure and collapsed with a roar, forming a huge crater. The rubble floated up into the air as if weightless!

BIG MOM's attack continued unabated after his first strike was blocked, and he shouted again!

"Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!!"

The sun Prometheus roared and poured its raging flames upon Napoleon, and the blade of the greatsword instantly and strangely lengthened, with fiery fangs growing from the edge of the blade like those of a ferocious beast!

The woman raised her arms high, her muscles bulging, and with the force of splitting mountains and seas, she slammed down on Gern again from above!

"Well done!" A fighting spirit ignited in Gern's eyes. He gripped the hilt of the Eight Desolations Blade tightly with both hands, and his domineering aura and vibrational particles condensed with unprecedented intensity!

"Heavenly Tremor - Collapse of the Boundary!!"

He roared and advanced instead of retreating, his black blade slashing upwards in an arc that seemed to sweep against the sky with all his might!

"Buzz—Boom!!!"

The moment the Eight Desolations Sword clashed with Napoleon's Fang Greatsword was not a simple impact sound, but a highly compressed spherical shockwave that erupted from the point of contact!

The terrifying energy was released instantly, and the ground beneath their feet surged and bulged violently like waves being kneaded by an invisible giant hand!

Big Mom's massive body was violently thrown into the air by the sudden, upward-bursting shockwave, and she was briefly suspended in the air!

"The balloons are flying too!!"

Gern's combat instincts were astounding. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he suddenly unleashed the power from his core.

His body completed an incredibly swift flip in mid-air, and his right leg lashed out like a steel whip, striking precisely the end of the hilt of the Eight Desolations Blade!

"Whoosh!!"

Black Blade Eight Desolations transformed into a bolt of black lightning, shooting out at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, instantly piercing Big Mom's abdomen while she was floating in the air!

"puff!"

Unfortunately, Big Mom's abnormal "steel balloon" physique once again manifested itself, and the incomparably sharp Eight Directions only managed to pierce the surface of her skin.

It was held firmly in place by those incredibly tough muscles and the entangled Armament Haki, preventing it from penetrating deep into its internal organs.

But it seems that Gern had already anticipated this!

He didn't care at all whether the Eight Desolations kick had caused serious damage; the force of the kick hadn't been fully released.

The lower body instantly transformed into elements, turning into countless wildly leaping, pale, vibrating particles.

He surged upwards at unprecedented speed, instantly closing in on Big Mom, and directly...

"Ora, ora, ora, ora!!!"

Gern's fists flew like a storm, unleashing dozens of jabs in an instant!

Each punch was not aimed at absolute destructive power, but rather at precisely injecting highly concentrated and extremely unstable 'micro-vibration cores' into various parts of Big Mom's massive body!

Fists flew everywhere, leaving afterimages in their wake!

The instant the attack was completed, Gern's elemental form passed right through Big Mom's body, appearing behind her and landing steadily.

With his back to Big Mom, who was still in mid-air and whose movements were slightly stiff due to the dozens of "micro-vibration cores" implanted in her body, Big Mom was still standing there.

He clenched his hands into fists in front of him, as if grasping invisible chains, and said in a deep, low voice.

"Black Shock - Dragon Binding Lock!!"

The words were spoken.

"Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"

In an instant, the dozens of micro-vibration cores injected into Big Mom's body were simultaneously activated, erupting from the inside out!

Countless fine yet deadly vibrations raged wildly within her muscles, bones, and internal organs, colliding and resonating with each other!

"Ughhh!!!"

BIG MOM's massive body convulsed violently and uncontrollably in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground!

After hearing the sound, Gern slowly turned around, stretched out his right hand, and returned the Eight Directions to their positions, his eyes cold.

Even a "steel balloon" cannot be completely immune to the destructive damage from high-frequency oscillations inside the body!

Chapter 517 The Power of the Earthquake

"You bastard..."

The excruciating pain and sense of loss of control caused by the simultaneous detonation of dozens of micro-vibration nuclei within his body completely unleashed Big Mom's ferocity!

"Get away from me, Mom!!!"

The old woman let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the terrifying power she possessed suddenly erupted, forcefully blasting away all the surrounding ruins and debris that were pressing down on her!

Almost at the same instant he broke free of his restraints, his eyes, burning with rage, locked onto Gern.

Napoleon's hands, though now clenched and restored to their original state, were still wreathed in flames and thunder.

He channeled all his strength and domineering aura into it, assuming a charging stance.

"The Spear of Elbaf - Mighty Nation!!!"

The greatsword was swung!

A giant sword energy shockwave, spiraling in shape and tens of meters in diameter, crushed everything and hurtled toward Gern at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound!

Wherever the shockwave passed, it plowed the ground into furrows, and the air emitted a piercing shriek. Its range was so wide that it covered almost all of Gern's possible evasive routes!

Faced with this giant's ultimate technique, powerful enough to split a town in two, Gern's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

He clenched his left fist, and vibrational particles intertwined with Armament Haki!

"Buzz—Boom!!!"

With a simple punch thrown forward, the space in front of the fist seemed to freeze, and then shattered inch by inch like a mirror!

The shockwave of the Wei Kingdom's sword energy, starting directly from the center point, was forcefully disintegrated by an even stronger and more violent force!

It transformed into chaotic energy currents that scattered across the sky, vanishing without a trace!

One punch shatters the mighty kingdom!

Immediately afterwards, using the recoil, Gern's figure rose from the ground and leaped into the air, higher than Big Mom!

He gripped the Eight Directions tightly with both hands, raised the sword above his head, and dark purple Conqueror's Haki and pale vibration particles converged wildly and compressed onto the Eight Directions!

"Heavenly Tremor..." Gern swung his sword down at BIG MOM below!

"Overlord's Fall!!!"

As the blade fell, the air was completely expelled, leaving a vacuum channel!

The moment the slashing strike touched Big Mom's arms (covered in top-tier Armament Haki) as she blocked,

"BOOM!!!!"

Centered on the two people, a destructive energy sphere, mixed with dark purple lightning and pale shockwaves, rapidly expanded and exploded!

The blinding light instantly engulfed everything, and the huge roar made Katakuri and the others, who had already retreated far away, feel a sharp pain in their eardrums!

The shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, completely blowing away the remaining dome and walls of the cake castle as if they were made of paper!

"Prometheus! Zeus! Fire and thunder from the heavens!!!"

Despite being at a disadvantage, Big Mom, who was blocking Gern's falling slash with both arms, issued the order.

Yes, Mom!

The Homies hovering to her left and right responded, and Zeus the thundercloud and Prometheus the sun instantly unleashed all their energy!

Raging purple lightning and all-consuming flames intertwined and merged in the air.

A destructive energy torrent, interwoven with thunder and fire, poured down towards the center of the energy explosion, which was also where Gern was located!

"boom!!!"

Two terrifying forces, capable of altering the terrain, clashed violently and thoroughly at the summit of Whole Cake Island!

An even more dazzling light burst forth, as if a second sun had risen over Whole Cake Island!

A violent energy storm swept across the land!

The figures of Gern and Big Mom were completely swallowed up by this destructive tide!
