Just because he is one of the Four Emperors!
Therefore, Shanks possesses extensive knowledge about the Big Mom Pirates, who are also part of the Four Emperors.
As the most formidable member of the Big Mom Pirates, the reputation of the Four Sweet Commanders is renowned throughout!
Initially, Shanks and the others believed that Luffy and his companions would gather before facing such a formidable enemy, causing a commotion among nations.
However, they never anticipated encountering the Four Sweet Commanders immediately upon setting foot in the territory of the Wanguo.
It seems this adventure is destined to be far from ordinary!
If Luffy cannot defeat the adversary before him, he may not even get a chance to see Sanji's face.
This might mark the end of their journey across all nations...
[The individual who has arrived is one of the sweet stars]
[Minister of Biscuits, Charlotte Cracker!]
[As the tenth son of the Charlotte family, he possesses the ability to control biscuits]
[His bounty at sea has reached a staggering 860 million!]
[Nearly double Luffy's current bounty of 500 million!]
[As Luffy gazed upon his massive figure, something unprecedented occurred in his eyes since arriving at the Whole Cake Island.]
[Confronting the imposing presence of a formidable foe for the first time, Luffy's combat intuition warned him of this man's terrifying strength!]
[Without hesitation, Luffy immediately assumed a fighting stance.]
["This guy is incredibly strong...]
[Nami, Chopper, please step back and let me handle him!"]
[Hearing Luffy's words, Nami and Chopper wasted no time in stepping away.]
[Brook also willingly left the island upon witnessing Cracker's arrival.]
[He knows Cracker is one of the Three Sweet Commanders]
[Now that Cracker has appeared, there's no longer a need for him here!]
[At this moment, Luffy and the towering Cracker faced each other!]
[A war is on the brink of eruption]
Witnessing the celestial spectacle above, numerous onlookers found themselves utterly astounded.
Little did they anticipate that Luffy would encounter the Three Sweet Commanders immediately upon entering the Whole Cake Island! And among them, none other than Charlotte Crackler!
Even viewers from distant corners of the globe were familiar with him. After all, he was a notorious super pirate boasting an 860 million beli bounty. As one of the three most distinguished among Auntie's myriad offspring, he held a pivotal role across all nations.
Despite Crackler's seemingly jolly appearance, with a square physique towering like a giant biscuit, no one dared underestimate him at this moment. His status as one of the three Sweet Commanders left no doubt—Cracker's strength was unparalleled within the entire Big Mom Pirates.
As sighs echoed through the audience, the scene in the sky continued to unfold.
[Luffy and Cracker locked eyes, and without hesitation, initiated an assault!]
[The instant Luffy set eyes on Cracker, he materialized in front of him!]
[A rubbery fist shot forth with unmatched force!]
[However, the blow landed on Cracker's biscuit armor.]
[Yet, it proved utterly ineffective!]
[Not a single tremor could be induced!]
["Is this biscuit really that resilient?"]
[Luffy couldn't help but exclaim upon witnessing this.]
[Simultaneously, Cracker grinned...]
[Raising the long sword in his hand, he thrust it towards Luffy!]
[Mockingly, he spoke to Luffy while jabbing,]
[ "My cookies can be as hard as I desire!]
[Your fists can't penetrate my biscuit armor!]
[And my pretzel sword is even more extraordinary!]
[Meet your demise with a smile on my sword!"]
[Cracker surged directly at Luffy, initiating his signature move: pretzel rolling!]
[In an instant, the six swords in his grasp began spinning at a dizzying speed!]
[They were imbued with an armament haki, rendering them pitch black.]
[Then, with incredible speed, the blades thrust forward!]
[Fortunately, Luffy's reflexes were quick, allowing him to leap away and evade the impending attack.]
[However, the ground bore the brunt of the high-speed rotating sword, exploding on impact....]
[Surveying the shockingly damaged terrain, Luffy couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow. Fortunately, he managed to dodge it; otherwise, that strike could have inflicted serious injury!]
[Yet, when Cracker heard this, a peculiar smile played across his seemingly naive face.]
["Oh, really?"]
["Do you believe that by keeping your distance, my sword won't find you?"]
["You're too naive!"]
[Cracker elevated the six long swords in his hands, setting them into a rapid spin.]
[In fact, a spiral of sword attack emanated directly from the tip of each blade!]
[The sword attack hurtled toward Luffy at alarming speed....]
[In that moment, Luffy showed no reaction. Confronted with the imminent sword attack, he had no choice but to activate the Armanent Haki instantly!]
[He crossed his arms in front of his chest, yet still underestimated the force behind the sword attack.]
[A resounding crash echoed!]
[Luffy was forcefully propelled backward by the sword attack, crashing heavily into the ground behind him....]
Witnessing this scene, many onlookers at sea couldn't help but be astonished!
Though the battle had just commenced and was in its early stages, the spectators could already discern that Cracker truly lived up to his reputation as one of the three Sweet Commanders!
This level strength was undeniably formidable!
While Luffy had undeniably grown stronger, surpassing his past self depicted in the original narrative, he found no advantage in the initial clashes with Cracker!
Truly befitting his bounty of over 800 million!
As the paramount combat force within the Yonko's forces, Cracker's arrival inflicted a pressure upon Luffy far more daunting than any previous adversary!
At this juncture, countless viewers began to fret...
Luffy had just set foot into the Whole Cake Island and encountered such a formidable foe.
What steps should he take next?
How would he confront subsequent adversaries?
What strategies should be employed to rescue Sanji...
