[Katakuri's Observation Haki is truly astonishing!]
[Even before Bege and Luffy made their move, he had already foreseen every detail of the next few moments!]
[Just as expected!]
[As Sanji and Brook took their positions, Big Mom's crew opened fire.]
[Everyone sprang into action!]
[The members of the Vinsmoke family were instantly immobilized by the Candy Minister's sweets!]
[Meanwhile, Bege utilized his abilities to facilitate Luffy's escape from his body.]
[But it wasn't just one Luffy; it was a multitude of them!]
[This sight left countless onlookers utterly dumbfounded!]
[It turns out, Luffy had devised this strategy in advance, leveraging the powers of the Mirror Fruit user!]
[Amidst the chaos,]
[Luffy charged straight at Big Mom, shattering the photo frame before her with a single slap!]
[In that moment, Big Mom was stunned...]
[This was her most cherished possession, the most precious memory of her life, now shattered before her eyes?]
[She let out a deafening roar, laced with sheer dominance!]
[The sheer force of it caused those with weaker constitutions to faint on the spot, even forcing Katakuri and others to stand firm, unable to move!]
[Everything around them - glass, tables, chairs, ground, trees...]
[All were obliterated and shattered amidst Big Mom's frenzied bellowing!]
[This was the might of a Yonko, the terror of Charlotte Linlin!]
The Whitebeard Pirates!
"Truly befitting of a Yonko, such terrifying power!"
"My ears are ringing just thinking about it, it was that intense!"
"Wow, Luffy's courage is astounding, daring to challenge Big Mom like that!"
"Darling, it's too much to handle..."
Countless crew members voiced their awe while observing the spectacle.
Even Whitebeard himself.
He gazed at the sky, witnessing the aftermath of Big Mom's roar.
It left the surroundings desolate, a sight that gave him pause.
"He truly is a force of nature. After all these years...,"
"Charlotte Linlin's destructive power remains undiminished!"
When it came to Big Mom, Whitebeard was intimately acquainted.
After all, he had once sailed alongside her and Kaido in the Rocks Pirates.
Though separated by many years, in a strict sense, we were once comrades!
Even if our relationship was rocky, sailing on the same ship meant we knew each other inside out.
Now, confusion reigns among many, including Marco.
Who was taken by Luffy? And what's with the torn photograph?
Why does it bring such sadness and fury upon Big Mom?
Everyone's bewildered. How can someone as ruthless as Big Mom be moved by a mere photo?
This perplexing affair leaves everyone scratching their heads.
Even Whitebeard, who once sailed with Big Mom, couldn't fully grasp it, only catching fragments of the story.
All he knew was that Big Mom wielded unmatched destructive power in her youth, earning the ire of the entire giant family.
Only the figure in the photograph showed Big Mom kindness and affection.
Yet, investigations later revealed the figure to be a child abductor...
His tenderness towards Big Mom was a sham.
Naturally, this revelation would only surface decades later.
Regardless, whether Big Mom chooses to believe it or not is inconsequential.
But it's undeniable that the people in that photo were the only light in Big Mom's childhood... and this fact puzzles Big Mom greatly, despite her prowess as a wielder of the Soul Fruit.
Ironically, the one with the Soul Fruit ability was the person in the photo.
But in a twist of fate, the individual vanished after Big Mom's overindulgence!
And Big Mom... gained the power of the Soul Fruit!
The mystery behind this... remains unsolved to this day! However, what's certain is that the person in the photo is confirmed deceased, and Big Mom cherishes it as her most precious memory. As for the relationship between them,
Whitebeard remains oblivious. He has no desire to delve into their personal affairs.
His only concern is learning swiftly what transpired on Fish-Man Island and with the Whitebeard Pirates in the future world.
Meanwhile, the scene unfolds:
[At this moment, Big Mom is consumed by grief]
[Under this immense sorrow, her monstrous physique momentarily falters!]
[And now, countless subordinates are immobilized by Big Mom's harrowing screams.]
["We can only hold our ground and free ourselves!"]
[Bege and the others are already prepared!]
[They've preemptively inserted earplugs, minimizing the impact of Big Mom's voice!]
[And now is the prime moment to act!]
[So, they produced a firearm.]
[This is Caesar's specially crafted super poisonous gas bomb. Even a slight exposure would cause skin ulcers and death in ordinary people!]
[However, aware that Big Mom was dubbed a monster, they intentionally prepared three this time!]
[All for the sole purpose of complete annihilation!]
["Release!!!"]
[As Bege squeezed the trigger, three gas bombs hurtled towards Big Mom in an instant!]
[In this moment, many ministers led by Katakuri...]
[But powerless to shield them, forced to witness helplessly...]
This scene stirred excitement among audiences worldwide!
Could it be possible that...
Big Mom could be vanquished just like this?
In her current state of mourning, she's completely off guard!
If Bege's three gas bombs can truly obliterate her in one fell swoop, then there'll be one less Yonko in the world!
Such a monumental event!
Did he actually allow his comrades to witness it?
Damn it...
[Three gas bombs soared straight toward Big Mom!]
[However, what's unforeseen is that despite her lack of caution, Big Mom's wailing grows louder and louder!]
[Within her colossal cry, powerful shockwaves sweep in all directions!]
[She even intercepts three missiles midway!]
[This sight dumbfounds Bege and the others...]
[They had envisioned all possible outcomes, except for this one...]
[Meanwhile, Katakuri also springs into action]
[Utilizing the abilities of his Mochi Mochi Fruit, he conjures numerous mochi balls.]
[And distributes them to all the comrades nearby, sealing their ears to shield against Big Mom's voice.]
[Now is the moment to deal with these turncoats and adversaries]
[As they face Katakuri before them, accompanied by the furious stares of many senior officers of the Big Mom Pirates.]
[At this juncture, Bege and the others are nearly petrified with fear.]
