"Zeus Thunderbolt!"
As Big Mom summoned Zeus and threw the thunderbolt toward the wooden dragon, the forest and Wooden Buddha with a thousand hands raging on the battlefield in the distance. Countless purple thunderbolts scattered in the sky like thunder snakes, striking the wooden dragon, Wooden Buddha, and the forest.
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, a deafening explosion echoed, and the wooden dragon, Wooden Buddha, and the forest were blasted into enormous craters. The body of the wooden dragon was even blown in half, leaving Buddha with a hundred or so hands!
Crash! Crash! Crash—
Yet the wooden Dragon, Wooden Buddha persisted in the battle zone with tens of thousands of troops. Confusion and disbelief filled the air.
"What!?"
"It's not down yet!"
"How the hell are these things still standing? Damn!"
"Use fire! Use fire! Wait, you see, those things repair themselves! Damn, they can mend themselves by sucking people dry!"
"Is there no damage from flames? At this rate, thousands of us will perish at the hands of these trees. Damn it, we are the crew of Yonkos!"
Initially, witnessing the wooden dragon being split in two and the wooden Buddha being severed from head to toe, they assumed the two wooden monsters were done for. But they proved resilient, albeit with slightly slower movements, as their damaged parts slowly regenerated. Beast pirates and the Big Mom pirates were left dumbfounded.
Perhaps this kind of tree posed no threat to the devil fruit ability of users and other pirate cadres; a well-placed shot could destroy them. However, destroying them and keeping them down were two different challenges.
Every tree was connected to other trees and as long as there were roots drawing vitality from the victims, the forest world would persist. The fallen wood on the ground would be reabsorbed, rapidly growing into new big tree vines, attacking the enemies anew.
Notably, within the tree world were massive red flowers. Although its pollen didn't stun elite troops, prolonged combat within the forest affected their state, leading to a decline in combat power.
This was the true horror of the [Nativity of a World of Trees]!
Big Mom was also taken aback by the [Nativity of a World of Trees] and the Wooden Dragon, the Woode Buddha.
However, her primary focus wasn't on the Buggy or the forest or the Wooden monsters; instead, it was Charlotte's sons, petrified in the distance.
As she hurled the [Heavenly Fire] infused with Conqueror's power amidst her group of petrified children, Boa Hancock, engaged in combat with Vergo in the distance, witnessed this scene with an arched mouth, "It's useless, as long as petrification is not resolved on my initiative... what!" Hancock's haughty expression vanished in an instant as she was stunned by the unfolding scene!
Those who were petrified by Hancock when enveloped by the Heavenly Fire—or more precisely, in Big Mom's potent Conqueror's Haki their heads, bodies, and even the petrification beneath their feet gradually dissipate.
"How can this be?"
Hancock looked incredulous; her Awakened Devil Fruit abilities should have made her impervious to such dissolving through burning.
However, Buggy, at a distance, showed no surprise at this sight. In the original timeline, when the green bull made his debut, Shanks used Conqueror's Haki to defeat him and force him into his human form from outside wano.
Witnessing this, Buggy understood that Conqueror's Haki had many applications, especially against devil fruit powers! Since he arrived in this world and mastered Conqueror's Haki, Buggy believed its upper limit was incredibly high offering more than knocking people unconscious.
Big Mom's usage at this moment was another manifestation of Conqueror's Haki, a power even the Devil Fruit abilities had to steer clear of—a power potent enough to make even the devil wary!
This was the essence of "king's aptitude" and the ticket to the realm of top-tier powerhouses.
"What's impossible?" Big Mom scolded.
The Big Mom in the sky looked down at the empress below and laughed heartily, "Little girl, you are too young! Such a battlefield is too early for you. Don't underestimate the Yonko!"
"Then, let me see what's so great about the Yonko!"
Hancock sneered defiantly at Big Mom's mockery and the pink aura around her intensified. As Vergo rushed toward her again, she shouted, "I have no time to play with you anymore! Your strength and Haki are impressive, but it's not enough in front of the Empress of Amazon Lily! Perfume Femur Magna!!!"
With the empress's command, a surge of pink air flowed all over her body. Her form bent and jumped, landing directly forming a massive crater on the ground. Then, in a blink, her body transformed into a pink streak, outpacing Vergo, who was using the Moonwalk. Swiftly, she closed the distance, positioning herself in front of him!
Whoosh Boom!
The forceful kick of the Perfume Femur Magna struck Vergo's abdomen, contorting his body into an inverted V shape. He expelled a mouthful of blood, hurtling backward even faster than his initial charge.
In an upside-down flight for hundreds of meters, he crashed through the wall of Onigashama, embedding himself in the first-floor hall.
Subsequently, Vergo's body morphed into a stone sculpture visible to the naked eye, seamlessly merging with the wall, as if he were always a painful-faced sculpture on the wall.
"Vergo!"
Doflamingo, engaged in battle with Enel in the distance, erupted in fury, "Boa Hancock..."
"Do you dare to be distracted while facing a god in combat? Is this your arrogance?!"
Before Doflamingo could look toward Enel transformed into a lightning flash, materializing by Doflamingo's side in an instant. Within a few hundred meters, a thunderous field erupted.
"Ahhhh!"
Caught in Thunder Field without realizing it, Doflamingo screamed uncontrollably.
"Young Master!"
Pika entangled in combat with Crocodile in the distance, expressed concern witnessing this scene.
"Hahahaha! You better worry about yourself! Sand waterfall burial!"
After laughing, Crocodile clapped his hands together, unleashing a dense torrent of yellow sand that cascaded like a mountain, pressing directly onto Pica.
Behind this sand mountain, numerous long spears materialized and swiftly pierced into Pica's massive rock body.
"Ahhh․"
The potency of this formidable attack was undeniable, prompting painful screams from Pika. His colossal stone form was visibly corroded by sand, large boulders transforming into a river of sand, revealing Pika kneeling on the ground, hands covered in blood.
"Damn it! Get the hell out of here! Senbon no Ya: Flap Thread!"
Doflamingo, now completely furious, abandoned any pretense and unleashed his full strength. After sweeping Enel away, he transformed into a white streak, charging directly at Crocodile.
"Fufurofur—"
"Crocodile, you're in for it! Die to me! Awakening-Off White!!!"
With the resounding echo of Doflamingo's furious roar, the ground around them transformed into thin Strings, resembling white waves moving at a speed discernible to the naked eye. These ethereal Strings surged towards Crocodile, reminiscent of ocean waves crashing ashore.
"Haha! Doflamingo, have you finally emerged from hiding behind Kaido?"
Crocodile erupted into laughter, raising his hand and forcefully slamming the ground.
"However, if you think you can me by being at this level, you're sorely mistaken. Sandfall's requiem!"
Clatter.
Beneath Crocodile's feet, the solid ground instantaneously morphed into yellow sand, blending seamlessly with the surrounding dunes. It formed a colossal yellow sand electrical wave that clashed with the waves of white Strings sent by Doflamingo.
Bang!
The collision of these two formidable attacks resulted in a thunderous detonation, scattering and subtracting the white String sea and the yellow sand sea in a breathtaking display.
Observing the spectacle from the sky, Kaido raised his eyebrows.
"Worororo. Does that gaki Doflamingo, still possess such formidable techniques? Have you finally decided to act because your family is injured?"
"Now that you've made your move Doflamingo, let us witness your true strength!"
"Mamama!" Big Mom joined in with laughter.
"Kaido, don't be careless; that kid Buggy's crew is also incredibly powerful! Don't half of them is part of Roger Pirates."
Her laughter abruptly ceased as a peculiar scene unfolded on the battlefield.
Exactly when Crocodile collided with Doflamingo's ultimate move, Pica, drenched in blood, transformed back into a colossal stone figure towering over 100 meters. He then delivered a powerful punch directly at Crocodile, who faced him unflinchingly.
"Crocodile, daring to turn your back on your opponent; whom do you underestimate?"
A colossal fist descended from the sky, exuding a terrifying wind pressure.
Yet, Crocodile remained focused on Doflamingo, not only refusing to dodge Pica's fist but also resisting the urge to turn his head.
"200 Million volt El Thor!"
Just as the massive fist hovered tens of meters above the sky, a bolt of blue lightning materialized behind Crocodile in an instant. A thunder giant, more than ten meters tall, emerged in the void, assuming a Fishmen karate pose.
"Surging Storm Fist!"
Enel shouted, and his right fist, much smaller than Pica's, collided directly with the gigantic stone fist.
"Hahaha, idiot! I'm a rock; your thunder can't harm me at all."
Pica's laughter resonated until he froze the moment he saw Enel's expression.
"What!"
Bang!
In the next moment, the colossal rock fist, colliding with the Thunder Fist much smaller in size, began undulating like waves. Cracks appeared, and thunder rushed in, shattering the 100-meter boulder fist into countless pieces in an explosive spectacle.
The rear was deadlocked with Doflamingo.
Crocodile, holding his cigar in his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke and grinned, "Well done, God Enel."
"Not bad yourself, Desert King Crocodile!"
"Hahaha!!"
After a brief exchange of compliments, the two burst into laughter. Buggy, at a distance, raised his hand to cover his face. These two guys were shameless!
Can people shamelessly flatter each other during the war? Gabban and the others hadn't seen it before. But the next scene left everyone a bit stunned.
"I just learned a very interesting trick, and I thought I'd test it on you, big guy!"
Enel, suspended in mid-air, canceled the Thor state. He then raised his hand and shot a beam of thunder into the dark clouds above the sky. Looking at Pica in the distance, he sneered, "Now, all the thunder in this sky is mine! Let's see how you handle this trick next!"
While speaking, Enel's blue-purple thunder flickered in his hand. To the astonishment of everyone, he levitated in the air with his right hand and shouted in Pica's direction, "Zeus Thunderbolt!"
"What!!!"
On the other side of the Big Mom Pirates engaged in battle, upon hearing the name of this move, everyone turned their heads to look at Enel in astonishment. Not only Big Mom pirates but even Buggy and the others were shocked. Charlotte Linlin's eyeballs nearly popped out of her eye sockets!
Immediately afterward, streaks of blue-purple thunder fell from the sky like thunderbolts, enveloping the colossal rock giant over 100 meters high in the blink of an eye.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunder's terrifying power exploded, shattering Pika's colossal rock giant into stone fragments. Almost every bolt struck Pica's Stone giant, causing a massive explosion!
At that moment, the thunderbolts in the sky continued its descent.
Pica's massive Stone body disintegrated section by section at a speed discernible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, Pica transformed from a towering Stone giant over 100 meters high to one merely ten meters tall.
If this continued, Pica would undoubtedly be smashed to pieces by the relentless thunder.
"Fufufufu."
Doflamingo chuckled angrily. With one hand, he manipulated the barren white String that was deadlocked with Crocodile, and with the other hand, he pointed towards Pica in the distance.
"White String Shield!"
As the white String shot out by Doflamingo's other hand landed on the ground in front of Pica, the ground instantly transformed into countless white Strings.
Swish, swish, swish!
Immediately, the white Strings rose directly into the sky, forming a massive shield to protect Pica, who was under constant bombardment by thunder.
The final attack.
As the last wave of thunder fell, the white shield String used by Doflamingo was torn apart, burning up and dissipating completely within a few breaths.
"That's it?"
Enel scratched his head and said enviously, "Is this the power of fruit awakening? Hey Crocodile! You've also awakened your fruit; why are you so weak?"
"You know what! This Doflamingo guy's Haki is much better than mine! Otherwise, how could I let him escape? Besides, you just let him run, right? I made a move."
The two, who had been praising each other moments ago, immediately turned to verbal fighting again.
As for Doflamingo, after executing this move, he couldn't help but catch his breath. He already harbored a sense of foreboding.
The Buggy Pirates' cadre members were truly formidable, surpassing his expectations.
At that moment, he contemplated that Golden Emperor Tesoro should conclude the battle swiftly so he could lend his assistance.
However, when Doflamingo turned his head to check, he witnessed San Juan fiercely attacking the Golden Emperor.
Doflamingo: "...."
