Sea Circle Calendar January 1506, New World, Totto Land.
The massive Queen Mama Chanter rested calmly on the waters. Its colossal hull gently swayed with the undulating waves. The peculiarly shaped prow echoed a soft hymn. The ship was encircled by various pirate vessels, each proudly flying the distinctive red-lipped, fluttering skull and crossbones flag.
On board the Chanter.
Having recently given birth and successfully welcoming her 75th son, she displayed no signs of the usual weakness associated with childbirth. Instead, she voraciously continued to consume the delicacies, clearing the table and indulging in the desserts within. Servants promptly replaced the table with a fresh array of sweets, and the cycle continued.
"Mama, the sea slugs sent a message with images. It appears that the Pirate Alliance fleet has encroached upon the waters belonging to all of our nations."(T/N: Charlotte Praline abilities)
Perospero didn't dare to disturb Big Mom while she was eating. After all, with the sickness of Eating Disorder, the entire world was at risk of destruction. However, the urgency of the situation forced Perospero to bite the bullet and report.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Upon hearing Perospero's report, Big Mom abruptly ceased her meal. Her large, crimson eyes glared intensely at Perospero, her enormous mouth grinning widely, almost reaching the base of her ears. Corrosive saliva dripped from her mouth, creating an ominous atmosphere, as if she could devour Perospero on the spot.
"Mama... the so-called Pirate Alliance has invaded the waters of Totto Land. It seems... it seems that they consider us their target," Perospero nervously added.
Perospero swallowed hard and cautiously continued, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead under Big Mom's intense gaze.
"Well, well, well! Even those losers dare to take advantage of my Totto Land. They really underestimate me!"
"Perospero, gather the fleet with Katakuri. I want to personally lead the charge and take them down. They seem to treat me... like a soft persimmon!"(T/N: Means that she is treated as weak)
"But... Mama, you've just given birth. I'm concerned about your health," Perospero expressed with worry. Big Mom is undeniably the core of the pirate group. Without her, Perospero and the others wouldn't truly be pirate overlords.
"Huh? Are you trying to teach me how to handle things? Perospero, you're just my son, know your place!"
Big Mom's expression darkened, and the imposing aura she had suppressed for many years suddenly surfaced. Perospero was so frightened that his back was nearly wet, and he nodded in agreement.
...
Outskirts of Totto Land sea area.
Four ships, each with unique characteristics, sailed into this dreamy sea area. The various ferocious collisions were incongruent with the surrounding environment. The four pirate groups of the Pirate Alliance, under the leadership of their respective captains, initiated a challenge to the pirate overlord, Big Mom Pirates, who rules over the New World, without any prior warning!
The captains of the four pirate groups appeared both excited and solemn, as if they were on the brink of becoming the overlords of the New World, with even a glimpse of the Pirate King's throne in their sights.
"Ma~ma Ma~ma! You four idiots, do you think I'm a pushover? This is truly... displeasing!"
Before they could revel in their excitement for too long, Big Mom arrived swiftly after learning of the news. She stood at the bow of the Queen Mama Chanter, wielding a giant sword named Napoleon in her hand. Flanking her were the two Homies, Zeus and Prometheus, homie for thunder and fire, respectively.
"Hehehe! Old woman, the bygone era has faded away. There's no ship left to carry you in this new era. It's time to step off the ship and make way for us, the younger generation!"
With a determined expression, Lackham took a bold step forward, unflinchingly challenging Big Mom's words.
"Ma~ma Ma~ma! Ingrates like you should be taught a lesson! Katakuri, take this man's head and present it to me!"
"Yes! Mama!"
"Hehehehe! Yermak, you and Francis can handle Big Mom, and I'll take care of Katakuri!"
Leckham said with confidence. As a Paramecia Blood-Blood Fruit user, he can influence the blood in the enemy's body and accelerate his own blood flow to enhance combat effectiveness. Having already awakened the fruit's ability, he is not afraid of Katakuri.
'damn it!'
Yermak and Francis cursed angrily in their hearts at the same time. They knew that Katakuri and Big Mom were not on the same level of strength, but they didn't expect Leckham to take the initiative and leave them to deal with both. Now, they can only bite the bullet and face the challenge.
"Well, well, well! I've actually been underestimated!"
When Big Mom heard Lackham's words, she immediately laughed angrily, emitting strange laughter from her bloody mouth. An invisible sound wave started from Big Mom and spread towards the Pirate Alliance!
Conqueror's Haki!
Time seemed to freeze in the entire sea area. The pirates who were still shouting suddenly fell silent. Their eyes were empty, and their mouths were half-open and half-closed, as if their souls had been extracted, causing them to fall unconscious.
"Ba... Conqueror's Haki!"
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is this? Such terrifying Conqueror's Haki!"
"We actually have to fight against such a monster. We are simply going to die!"
"Captain, let's retreat. The Big Mom Pirates are simply not something we can compete with!"
The person who barely managed to stay awake in front of Big Mom haki suddenly felt like his legs were like chaff, and the hairs all over his body stood up, like a frightened cat, with no trace of courage.
"Why are you panicking? She's just an old woman with Conqueror's haki!"
Several captains shouted to calm down the flustered people. In fact, they were a little worried. Although the four of them, except Francis, all had Conqueror's, compared to Big Mom's Conqueror's, theirs were like candles in the wind and could not be compared with it at all.
"Everyone, attack! Chi no kama (Blood sickle)!"
Lackham couldn't sit still anymore and decisively activated his fruit power to face Katakuri. The other three also found their respective opponents to engage in battle. They knew that if the fight didn't start, their side would be completely defeated!
"Ma~ma Ma~ma, Zeus, (Mighty Drum) "
"Yes! Mama!"
Zeus, hovering in mid-air, abruptly transformed into a menacing form, engulfed in darkness. A colossal thunderbolt descended without any prior warning, exuding a formidable force akin to a catastrophic natural event!
Raiun (Thundercloud)
Yermak, a Logia user with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability, remained unfazed by Zeus' attack. In reality, they were aware that Lackham wasn't merely attempting to entrap the two of them. Being the most significant BOSS present, they were well-acquainted with the three major Homies owned by Charlotte Linlin.
Yermak's Cloud-Cloud Fruit initially incapacitated Big Mom's Zeus, while Francis, as an Ancient Zoan Brutal Bear Fruit ability user, possessed a resilience close to the awakened state. It can be affirmed that their ability to endure attacks surpasses most others. Hence, the two of them are the ideal choices to engage with Big Mom.
