---------------

The Overwhelming Power of the Big Mom Pirates

The battlefield was a wasteland of melting ice, steam rising from the devastated terrain.

The towering figure of Charlotte Linlin charged forward, her massive sword Napoleon swinging through the air as she unleashed a fierce slash at Sakazuki before her.

"Ikoku Sovereignty!" she roared.

A tremendous wave of sword energy distorted the atmosphere, cutting through space at terrifying speed.

"Great Eruption!" Akainu's eyes narrowed with intensity.

Magma surged from his right arm, coalescing into an enormous fist of molten rock. The sky itself turned crimson as the temperature soared, melting vast sheets of ice at a visible rate.

The magma fist, mimicking a volcanic eruption, carried devastating force as it collided with Big Mom's sword energy.

"BOOM!"

"Worororo..."

The thunderous explosion shook the heavens.

The impact splashed "Nine Six Seven" slurry across the battlefield, transforming frozen terrain into bubbling seawater. Sakazuki stared at Charlotte Linlin with utmost gravity etched on his face.

"Soru!" He shot forward like lightning.

His bubbling magma fist, reinforced with advanced Armament Haki, smashed toward Charlotte Linlin with merciless intent.

But the Emperor blocked it effortlessly with her own fist.

Her incredibly tough skin, resilient as steel and fortified with Haki, showed no concern for his scorching magma.

"Mama mama! You're still far too weak, magma boy..." Big Mom cackled. "This heat would barely serve to light candles at my tea parties!"

"Stop your arrogance, BIG MOM!"

Akainu roared.

His other fist transformed into pure magma, erupting like an underwater volcano with astonishing heat as he aimed directly for her head.

"Inugami Guren!"

"BOOM!"

Charlotte Linlin jerked her head aside, evading Akainu's fierce strike. Napoleon, now wreathed in raging flames, slashed forward with tremendous force.

"Emperor's Sword: Cognac!"

Akainu crossed his arms, reinforced with powerful Armament Haki, blocking Napoleon's slash.

As a Logia-type Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Devil Fruit) user, he could normally ignore temperatures that would incinerate anything else. Yet the sheer force of Big Mom's attack numbed his arms and sent him flying backward.

From the corner of his eye, Akainu noticed the distant sky had turned completely black, flashing with supernatural lightning.

"Thunder clouds gathering at impossible speed... what's happening?"

He had no time to analyze further.

In an instant, Charlotte Linlin was upon him again, laughing wildly.

Grabbing her thundercloud homie Zeus, she pulled with tremendous force. "Mama mama~! Indra!"

A blindingly brilliant bolt of lightning shot forth, striking Sakazuki before he could stabilize himself. The impact scattered his magma body in all directions.

Even as a Logia Devil Fruit user, he couldn't completely nullify the devastating lightning. Electric current surged through Akainu's form, partially paralyzing him.

"A mere Logia user thinking they can challenge Mama..." Charlotte Linlin, a natural-born monster of unimaginable power, raised Napoleon for the kill. "Today you die, Akainu!"

"Ikoku—"

"BOOM!"

Meanwhile, across the battlefield, Aokiji and Kizaru had also noticed the strange weather phenomenon, but neither could afford to be distracted.

Kuzan found himself surrounded by Shiryu of the Rain, Swordsman Ryuma, Miyamoto Musashi, and the Feathered Serpent Kur. Even with his formidable powers, facing these opponents simultaneously left no room for error.

Similarly, Borsalino was being pushed to his limits against the combined might of Charlotte Katakuri and his brother Wilhelm.

The Navy Admirals were beginning to comprehend the true strength of the Big Mom Pirates. Even their campaign against the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't presented such overwhelming opposition.

With Kuzan's Hie Hie no Mi (Ice-Ice Devil Fruit), they had anticipated being able to counter even Whitebeard's earthquake powers by freezing potential tsunamis. But now, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and tens of thousands of their forces had somehow been banished to an unexplainable dimension.

The three Admirals, who had believed themselves to represent the Navy's ultimate fighting capability, found themselves completely matched by their opponents—with no prospect of gaining the upper hand.

When considering the additional threat posed by Big Mom's commanders, thousands of pirates, and her army of homies—not to mention potential forces hidden beneath the sea—victory seemed increasingly unlikely.

They had made a grave miscalculation.

They had utterly underestimated the Big Mom Pirates—or more specifically, they had underestimated Charlotte Wilhelm.

"Momo Thirty Times Slash Thunderstorm!"

Shiryu of the Rain moved like lightning.

Appearing before Aokiji like an afterimage, his infamous blade, enhanced with Haki, slashed with the fury of a tempest.

"Shhhhhh..." The barrage of strikes came like a violent storm.

What began as thumb-sized slashes rapidly expanded before the eye, growing exponentially in both size and velocity as they tore through the atmosphere.

Aokiji's expression turned grim.

"Ice Block: Wall!"

Cold fury erupted as an immensely thick wall of ice materialized from nothing, attempting to form a barrier.

The dense barrage of slashes hammered the massive ice wall, piercing through it mercilessly.

With lightning speed, they tore through Aokiji's body, sending him flying as he shattered into countless ice fragments.

A figure radiating intense cold reconstituted itself from the scattered pieces.

Before Kuzan could catch his breath, the imposing figure of the Feathered Serpent Kur charged toward him with shocking violence.

"Jihahaha~! Thunder God Fist!" Kur's entire body crackled with electricity as his massive fist, wrapped in overwhelming Haki and intertwined with lightning, crushed the atmosphere on its path toward Aokiji.

The impact sent Kuzan flying backward.

"Swish!" In an instant, another figure appeared.

It was Miyamoto Musashi.

Wielding her dual blades infused with incredible Haki, she slashed mercilessly: "Two Sword Style: Peach Garden Waterfall!"

The blazing slash cleaved Aokiji in two.

"Crack..."

Ice fragments scattered as Kuzan's body shattered like fragile crystal.

Before he could reconstitute himself, a pitch-black blade pierced through where his head would reform.

"Ara ara~, they're all such frightening opponents..." Aokiji commented calmly, as if unaffected, while staring at Swordsman Ryuma who held his blade through the reforming ice of Aokiji's head.

Shiryu, the former Impel Down warden who had defected after slaughtering countless inmates, was a known threat. But Aokiji couldn't comprehend where Charlotte Wilhelm had found these other formidable warriors—each possessing astonishing strength far beyond ordinary opponents.
