The sight in the sky undoubtedly sent shockwaves rippling across the entire world once again!
No one could fathom that Luffy would charge out at such a perilous moment?
And not only that, he also engaged in a fierce clash with Big Mom!
Witnessing the overwhelming momentum in the scene, though separated merely by an image, it felt as though the events were unfolding right before their eyes!
It was simply staggering to the extreme!
Everyone admired Luffy's courage; he displayed true bravery!
Confronted with a formidable opponent like the Empress, he dove in without a hint of fear.
However, this also heightened everyone's realization of just how formidable... the Four Emperors truly were.
In his fourth gear mode, Luffy unleashed a full-force strike. Yet, Big Mom blocked such a terrifying blow with such ease?
And it seemed effortless!
It was utterly chilling, even for the Navy Headquarters!
The likes of Sengoku, Garp, and others naturally observed the unfolding scene.
Upon witnessing this spectacle, they couldn't help but sigh...
"I've long known that Charlotte Linlin's physical prowess is terrifying to the extreme."
"Now, it appears that it's not an exaggeration at all. Her strength... surpasses that of ordinary giants, doesn't it?"
Garp nodded slightly, wearing a worried expression.
"As much as I wish for Luffy's victory, I have to admit..."
"With his current strength, he's nowhere near ready to take on Charlotte Linlin in combat. Fleeing is the prudent choice."
"Directly engaging... wouldn't be wise!"
Garp shook his head slowly, clearly consumed by extreme concern.
Sengoku could only offer a comforting pat on the shoulder, but the three admirals and the others behind them had varied reactions. Aokiji appeared pensive, as if contemplating something.
Kizaru remained his usual laid-back self, appearing shocked, yet not entirely surprised.
Akainu's lips curled slightly, his gaze expectant. In his mind, if the Straw Hat boy chose to flee directly, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope for survival. But to dare confront Big Mom head-on?
Inviting death!
If he were to be crushed by Big Mom, he would only fulfill his own wish!
[The aftermath of Luffy's clash with Big Mom sent everything around them scattering.]
[In that moment, Luffy exerted every ounce of his strength!]
[Yet, Big Mom remained remarkably composed, relying solely on sheer physical prowess.]
[She held Luffy firmly in his grip, rendering him incapable of advancing.]
[With a mocking smirk, she tBig Momed,]
["Straw Hat, do you see the chasm between us?"]
["You stand no chance against me. Surrender!"]
[However, Luffy's response was resolute, his voice ringing out loud and clear!]
["No, I will defeat you one day!"]
["Not just you, but Kaido too. Only by defeating you can I claim the title of Pirate King!"]
["Pirate King?"]
At Luffy's words, Big Mom burst into laughter!
With a surge of strength, she sent Luffy hurtling away!
Just as she prepared to deliver a fatal blow to everyone with a single strike.
Seizing the opportunity from their earlier confrontation, Sanji and the others managed to rescue everyone from the Vinsmoke family.
They retreated back to the transformed castle!
And Luffy and company followed suit.
With Caesar's assistance, they soared into the sky and set off into the distance!
They were on the brink of escape, yet Big Mom remained unperturbed.
It turned out that this space was enveloped within the mirror world, leaving them with no means of escape at all!
[However.]
[Right now!!!]
[Suddenly, the entire towering cake structure erupted into a violent explosion!]
[The catalyst behind this explosion]
[Was a box pilfered from Fish-Man Island earlier, packed to the brim with explosives.]
[Yet, unknowingly, Big Mom had retrieved it, sealing Luffy's fate in a twist of fate.]
[With the deafening blast, the colossal cake tower crumbled instantly!]
[Luffy and his companions made a swift escape, bidding farewell to Bege as they set their sights on finding the Thousand Sunny and traversing the vast seas.]
The sight of Luffy's successful getaway sparked jubilation among the onlookers.
Realistically, given Luffy's current prowess, confronting Big Mom head-on and fleeing was a futile endeavor. The prospect of a showdown between Luffy, Big Mom, and their respective allies was a foregone conclusion.
The odds were heavily stacked against them.
Merely daring to stir trouble in the Four Emperors' territory was audacious enough.
Escape was their only recourse!
Though fraught with challenges, it was unequivocally the wisest course of action!
But evidently, the spectators underestimated the capabilities of the formidable Big Mom!
[While the massive explosion threw Big Mom and her countless offspring into disarray temporarily,]
[It also triggered her insatiable hunger pangs.]
[In a frenzy, she descended into a ravenous madness, fixated on a particular craving!]
[To avert Big Mom's rampage and safeguard the sanctity of Whole Cake Island, the Candy Minister, as the eldest son, resorted to deception.]
[He falsely claimed that the desired delicacy was in the company of Luffy and his cohorts!]
[Subsequently, the frenzied Big Mom set her sights on Luffy and his crew,]
[Driven by an insatiable appetite, she surged forth, her senses dulled but her might, defense, agility, and aura of intimidation heightened!]
[Summoning Zeus to trample her foes, she relentlessly pursued Luffy and his companions,]
[With Prometheus, in the guise of a blazing sphere, by her side.]
[Meanwhile, the Napoleon wheel above her head transformed into a formidable blade, poised for battle.]
[In her frenzied state, her eyes ablaze with madness, she struck fear into the hearts of all who beheld her!]
[In no time, she caught up with Luffy and his fleeing entourage!]
[After catching sight of Big Mom, their fear escalated, urging them to sprint even faster...]
[But how could Big Mom allow their escape so easily?]
[Driven by insatiable hunger, she only yearns to swiftly dispose of Luffy and his comrades and savor the delicacies she craves!]
[Thus, devoid of any restraint, she unleashed her full force without hesitation!]
["Perish, Straw Hats!"]
[With her sword held high, Big Mom delivered a devastating blow...]
["Ikoku Sovereignty!!!"]
[In that moment, a terrifying slash tore through the air!]
[Its dread-filled momentum threatened to obliterate everything in its path]
