Although Big Mom did not target anyone else, under this terrifying aura, everyone seemed to have witnessed something extremely frightening.
His whole body was shaking and trembling.
I want to escape, but taking steps felt incredibly difficult.
"Damn it, I feel so uncomfortable, like I'm going to die!"
"Quick! Cover your ears!"
…
Queen face was covered in cold sweat, and her voice slightly trembled.
"What an incredible sense of oppression! He truly deserves his title as the Emperor of the Sea, standing on equal ground with Boss Kaido."
King nodded slightly, a serious expression etched on his face.
"Be cautious! This is the power of Big Mom's soul fruit."
"In her presence, even a hint of fear can result in the other party stealing decades of your life through your soul! This is the origin of her title, Queen of Soul!"
Apart from those lying unconscious on the ground, the formidable cadres present were terrified, covering their ears and avoiding direct eye contact.
Under this overwhelming sense of oppression, the BIG MOM pirates' members couldn't help but lose their composure.
Though they knew their mother wouldn't harm them, the memories of past terrifying experiences lingered.
This was true for others as well, with Carlos at the forefront, bearing an unimaginable amount of pressure.
Invisible hands seemed to grasp at his soul, squeezing and pulling relentlessly.
Under this stifling pressure, breathing became laborious.
In the next moment, Carlos's eyes blazed with an indescribable pride.
A surge of determination rose within him!
With a resounding step forward!
Conqueror's Haki, dormant within him, surged forth like a volcanic eruption!
The force of a mountain roared towards the opponent like a tsunami!
Boom!
Mid-air,
The two visible spiritual energies clashed violently.
A deafening "buzzing" resonated in everyone's ears!
Numerous pirates lost consciousness, foaming at the mouth and collapsing to the ground.
Only a handful of skilled individuals continued to resist.
Shimu, Fozifer, and Maria, enduring discomfort, gazed at the figure before them with horrified expressions.
Although Garros appeared significantly smaller and weaker than Big Mom, his demeanor exuded sheer majesty.
"He stares at her unfalteringly, his expression unwavering. Is he not afraid? What incredible courage!"
"It's Conqueror's Haki! This man also possesses the legendary Conqueror's Haki!"
"He is a heroic figure, born among millions..."
Among the BIG MOM pirates, astonishment filled the gazes fixed upon Carlos.
In this state, their mother was a living nightmare.
One glance could strip away decades of life if one were lucky, leading to instant death if not!
Yet this individual remained nonchalant, unperturbed by his furious mother.
Katakuri's countenance darkened as he unsheathed his trident with deliberate slowness.
Usually, he would opt for a fair fight against Carlos, but inexplicably, a deep sense of unease rooted itself within him at that moment.
Failure to act now could potentially lead to dire consequences in the future!
Just as he geared up to make a move, a colossal figure moved first.
Big mom hoisted Napoleon aloft and swung it towards Carlos!
She hadn't anticipated that this lad possessed Conqueror's Haki too.
Allowing it to persist could render him a threat to her existence over time!
"We don't need more titans in this sea!"
"You must be eliminated here!"
Conqueror's Haki surged around her giant blade like a storm.
The sword cut through the air effortlessly, exuding raw power.
The thunderous noise felt as if it could rupture eardrums!
Carlos furrowed his brow and swiftly drew a secret weapon from his waist.
Lowering into a stance, he readied himself.
At that moment, a valiant cry erupted beside him.
"Thunder Eight Trigrams!"
Amidst howling winds, Kaido materialized in front of Carlos.
Brandishing his mace, he brought it crashing down!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Napoleon" and the gargantuan mace never made physical contact, yet the resounding clash birthed a storm of black thunders.
Their eyes locked mid-air, igniting a torrent of sparks.
"Kaido... you scoundrel!"
"Linlin, planning to take Garros away? I suggest you reconsider."
"Don't forget, I bestowed your Devil Fruit upon you. It's thanks to me that you occupy your current position! You owe me a significant debt!"
"You're correct. I was merely an intern back then. Your guidance played a crucial role..."
Brief sorrow crossed Kaido's features but swiftly vanished.
"That's all in the past, and our original crew has long since parted ways."
"Now, I aim to achieve what Rocks couldn't back then!"
Big moms expression darkened.
"Seeking to dominate this sea? In that case, Kaido, we shall be enemies! Let me ask you one final time, are you prepared to oppose me?"
Confronted by his former allies' inquiries, Kaido fell silent briefly before erupting into laughter:
"You got it, Linlin!"
As they continued applying pressure, the confrontation intensified.
Their auras grew more menacing and oppressive, akin to a Category 12 typhoon barreling towards the island.
Trees quivered, roots snapped, and fractures spidered across the ground.
Boulders and debris were sent scattering, as if the world itself quaked in response.
It felt as though doomsday had arrived.
Minutes ticked by.
More Beasts Pirates warships streamed to the scene.
Within moments, over 50,000 troops amassed in the vicinity.
Given the overwhelming impact of their clash, the fleets remained cautious, cordoning off the sea area entirely.
Unbeknownst to them, the BIG MOM pirates found themselves hemmed in by towering cliffs and cascades, devoid of an escape route.
Amid this spectacle, Katakuri, Perospero, and their fellow commanders grew increasingly anxious.
On the flip side, Beasts Pirates' King, Queen, Black Maria, Fozifer, and other new recruits brimmed with determination, eyeing them fervently.
Furthermore, their military might dwarfed that of their adversaries.
The odds of triumphing in a full-fledged battle seemed slim indeed.
In this tense environment, the phone bug suddenly beeped.
Eldest son Perospero's gaze shot to his aunt as he exclaimed:
"Mom! There's a report from Cracker stationed at Cake Island."
"Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainu leads a fleet advancing into the New World!"
"The Marines likely received intelligence on our expedition and seek to strike Cake Island while we're absent!"
"What!"
Auntie's countenance abruptly shifted.
Exerting force, the two combatants swiftly disengaged, causing a seismic explosion that rent the earth.
Kaido refrained from pursuing, opting instead to drive his mace into the ground and intone in a deep timbre:
"Linlin, out of respect for our shared history, I'll allow you to withdraw this time and address the Marine threat."
Mom visagely twitched.
After a prolonged silence, she grudgingly muttered under her breath:
"Very well, noted! From this moment onward, we are enemies."
With a malevolent glare aimed at Carlos, she warned:
"Boy, your reckoning will come."
"Soon enough, I shall claim your soul and subject you to ceaseless agony and torment!"
