Chapter 316: Big Mom: Become My Son-in-Law, Reiner
A hoarse yet passionate rock music, mixed with a grating heavy metal rhythm, burst forth under the quiet night sky.
"Just For Tonight! The bass guitar gnaws at the ankle of the flames!"
"—Dun, dun, dun! Magma? No!"
"—Screech!"
"It's the blues monologue of the fourth rib! Ho—Baby!"
"Thunder?!"
"Hic—! Not as loud as the decibels of a static afro, oh yeah!"
"Shove your soul into my skull speakers, check it! Check it!"
"Turn the volume to the max! The decibels of a static-filled afro, party with me on this battle night! ...!"
The rock's metal rhythm pierced the eardrums, the soul's battle cry stirred the heart.
Through the broadcast, the rhythm echoed across the sky.
One could almost see the colorful lights flashing in the broadcast room.
On the shining stage, a skeleton was stomping its feet to the beat, shaking its head, its bone fingers excitedly strumming the guitar strings at high speed.
"Hah?"
"Soul King?"
Listening to the passionate performance coming from the broadcast, Big Mom turned her head to Luffy with a look of ridicule.
"What is he doing? Is it a requiem for you who are about to die? Mamahaha~~"
And at this moment.
The thundercloud Zeus, the sun Prometheus, and Napoleon beside Mama suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The three Homies gradually showed pained expressions.
"Pain! So painful!"
"Help me, Mama!"
"Pain?"
Big Mom grabbed Zeus and looked at him, surprised.
He's not injured. Why would it hurt?
"So that's how it is..."
Seeing this, a corner of Reiner's mouth lifted slightly. He had also figured out Brook's intention.
Although he knew Brook's soul power could suppress Homies, he hadn't expected it to work this way.
Reiner turned his head and looked into the distance.
"In that case..."
At the same time.
South of the Whole Cake Chateau, on the coast where a spectacular battle was breaking out.
When the sound of rock music echoed and spread to the battlefield under the night sky, the Homies in the heat of battle all trembled.
Clang—Clang—Clang!
Countless swords, sabers, and halberds fell to the ground, the clanging interweaving into a crisp accompaniment, echoing Brook's hoarse RAP.
The Homies all held their heads and knelt on the ground, in agony.
"Uwaaah! What's going on?!"
"It hurts so much! I'm going to die!"
"My head! My head is going to explode!"
Depending on the original body and the soul given, the strength of the Homie soldiers also varied.
But without exception, besides the few that Big Mom had personally infused her soul into, all the other Homies were completely suppressed by this soul-infused power.
"What happened! Why have all the Homies fallen!"
A slender woman holding the famous sword Shirauo, wearing a hat with an extremely wide brim, ran to the side of a fallen chess soldier to check the situation.
Demon Lady Amande's expression was grave.
"Even a bishop-level Homie has fallen."
"It's the sound, Lady Amande!"
The chess soldier endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and raised his hand to point at the castle.
"There's something wrong with this music! It hurts so much! It feels like my soul is being sucked out!"
"The music..."
Amande's brow furrowed tightly as she followed his gaze.
"The broadcast?!"
"Quick, inform someone to go to the central control room!"
Amande reacted and immediately shouted at her subordinates.
"That was awesome, Brook!"
In a room with walls full of surveillance screens.
Chopper lay on the windowsill looking at the scene on the coast, unable to contain his excitement.
"It's really effective! All of Big Mom's Homies have lost their ability to fight!"
"Ara, I didn't expect you to have such a move. Well done."
Robin smiled faintly, a hint of doting in her eyes as she looked at Brook, as if looking at a likable pet.
"Yohohoho~~"
"The power of music can penetrate the soul, Robin-chan."
Brook chuckled as he played his electric guitar.
A giant skull condensed behind him, also with an afro, his soul power erupting.
"But the other side will definitely react. Our situation isn't exactly safe."
A hint of worry appeared on Robin's face.
"This place will probably soon become the enemy's target."
"Then what do we do?!"
Chopper's face turned green. He jumped down from the windowsill in a panic and ran to the door to peek outside.
He could vaguely hear hurried footsteps from downstairs, and commotion from the corridor in the distance.
"The enemy is in the control room!"
"Quick! Inform Lady Brûlée to support us here!"
"That was too fast! How did they get in!"
Chopper was so scared his face turned pale.
"Can we hold off so many enemies?"
"It's hard to say. We can only give it our all."
Robin slowly came to the door.
Even if it's just to hold them off for a while... everyone is fighting hard. At the very least, we can't be a burden.
And below the castle, in the long, winding staircase, a large number of soldiers were swarming up...
Two figures hid behind a wall, secretly observing.
"Where did so many enemies come from?"
"It seems Brook and Chopper and the others are up there."
Franky carried Usopp on his back, both their expressions grave.
The sound of the broadcast echoed throughout Whole Cake Island.
They had recognized Brook's and Chopper's voices and had immediately rushed over, but they had never expected so many enemies to appear out of nowhere in the castle.
"We have to go and support them quickly."
"Let's go, Usopp!"
As his voice fell, Franky opened his left weapon arm and charged straight out!
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!—Puwaah!"
Usopp spat out a mouthful of blood and slapped Franky on the head, baring his teeth in an angry roar.
"Be gentle, you bastard! I'm a wounded man!"
"Stop complaining! Weapons Left!"
Rat-a-tat-tat!!
Franky's fingers revealed pitch-black gun barrels and spat fire.
Usopp also raised his twin guns and rested them on Franky's shoulders.
"Hissatsu Chain: Kamakiri Ryuseigun!!"
Boom! Boom!
In the depths of the castle, the few who had just finished their battles had now started a 'concert defense battle'.
The ruins were covered in raging flames, the air filled with dust.
"Soul King...!"
Big Mom gritted her teeth. She had also clearly sensed the situation on the coast, and the anger in her heart was irrepressible.
"Do you think you can suppress me with just this!"
"Calm down, Prometheus!"
A faint purple light emanated from Big Mom's body as she activated her ability.
Under the stronger soul suppression, the three Homies finally calmed down.
"There's no need to suppress you, you stinky old hag."
Reiner said nonchalantly.
A void rift opened at his side, and a giant, ferocious battle-axe was gripped by him.
"This is enough."
Reiner's lips curled up. His body's surface gradually turned gray, and an aura of decay emanated.
"Now for the main event."
A green cloud of flame ignited out of thin air, passing through his shoulders and coiling behind him. Scarlet patterns appeared on his face, and a pair of red horns slowly emerged.
"An awakened user? Mamamama~~."
Seeing the cloud of flame behind Reiner, Big Mom became even more interested in him.
"Interesting. And with that berserker personality, that guy Kaido would probably like you very much."
"Hey, Black Snake Reiner. Why don't you leave that skinny monkey and join me?"
Big Mom gave a sinister grin, tempting him.
"How about I let you choose any of my daughters to marry?"
"Smoothie? Or even the most popular, Flampé?"
"Your children are truly pure to you... purely tools without any emotion."
Reiner sneered with contempt.
"I think you've gone crazy from having so many children, you stinky old hag. After tonight, it's not certain who will be in charge of Totto Land."
"Heh heh. Black Snake Reiner, you've really got guts."
Big Mom's smile gradually turned sinister.
The fire, 'Prometheus', transformed into a wild mane of orange-red hair behind her.
Her rising aura indicated that she had completely entered an explosive state!
The uplifting rhythm was still continuing, as if to raise the curtain on an epic battle that was about to erupt.
"Yosh! I'm fired up!"
Luffy grinned, his body full of energy, his eyes filled with a rising fighting spirit.
White steam erupted, coiling around his body and engulfing his figure.
The white mist dissipated, revealing Luffy's figure, his thick Armament Haki covering his four limbs, a head of wild hair standing on end.
"Snakeman Form!!"
Whether it was Reiner, Luffy, or Big Mom, in that instant, the three of them simultaneously erupted with their strongest power!
"Jet Culverin!!"
Swish! Luffy leaned back slightly, his coiled arm full of power as it suddenly shot out!
"Hmm?"
Big Mom had just prepared to meet the attack when her expression suddenly turned strange.
The fist that had been shot straight out had suddenly changed direction halfway, making a bizarre right-angle turn and continuously ricocheting in space.
Big Mom's pupils rotated rapidly, locking on.
Luffy's fist grew more and more swift as it continuously accelerated. Even she, with her iron body, did not dare to be careless.
The fierce fire from behind flowed along her shoulders and arms, covering 'Napoleon'.
The blade of the sword grew ferocious fangs and swelled a circle, becoming larger.
"Ikoku!!"
Big Mom took the initiative to attack, swinging the blade of fire in a circle!
Clang!!
Black lightning burst forth as the fist and the blade fiercely collided.
Swoosh!
While the two were in a stalemate, a dark shadow flashed past.
Reiner pushed off the ground, and with a single step, he flew out, dragging his battle-axe.
Big Mom grabbed the thundercloud and immediately raised her hand.
Crackle!
With Big Mom's support, Zeus gritted his teeth and pushed his ability to its limit.
"Indra!!"
Zeus horizontally spewed out a pillar of lightning several meters thick, which transformed into a brutal thunder dragon and bit down fiercely.
Feeling the violent energy contained within it, Reiner had no doubt that its power was enough to pierce through an island.
The Ouroboros Ring hovered before his palm, slowly rotating. Within the ring, lightning also gathered, erupting to meet the thunder dragon!
Boom!!!
A giant mushroom cloud, accompanied by firelight, shot up into the sky.
The clash of energies exploded violently, causing the entire island to shake.
Reiner's figure charged out of the smoke and gunpowder and stuck close to Big Mom.
His eyes were fierce. He dragged his battle-axe with both hands and swung it in a whistling arc, slashing diagonally upwards!
Big Mom raised her arm, and her greatsword deflected Luffy's fist. With the momentum, she chopped down at the battle-axe!
Bang!!
Dark red lightning sparked. The sword and axe, before they had even touched, were already trembling and humming. A violent impact spread out.
The earth then began to collapse, and cracks spread outwards from the two of them as the center.
This exaggerated strength?!
Reiner and Big Mom gritted their teeth in a stalemate, both shocked by the power the other had unleashed.
It was not the power brought by Haki, but pure, immense strength.
—Clang!
After deflecting the weapons, the two of them each took a few steps back.
Big Mom was the first to slash down with the elongated giant blade in her hand, the coiled flames suddenly expanding!
"Haha no Hien!!" (Mother's Blazing Blade!!)
Reiner also activated his ability. A ball of white energy coated his giant axe, and with a simple and unadorned heavy blow, he smashed it straight up!
Bang!!
The atmosphere cracked. The explosive flames were completely blocked.
"Could this be...!"
Big Mom's eyes finally showed shock.
The next moment, the distorted space shattered like a mirror!
Boom!!
The explosive tremor impact was devastating, smashing everything in front of Reiner to pieces!
The force of the tremor passed through her iron body and ravaged her internal organs, as if it would shatter all her bones.
Bang!!
Big Mom's tank-like body was violently sent flying!
Like a cannonball loosed from its bore, she crashed straight into the ground, blasting a deep pit.
"Mama!"
"Are you alright, Mama!"
The Homies cried out with nervous expressions.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Big Mom coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Her eyes were wide with disbelief as she looked at the blood on her hands.
She was actually injured?!
Since Mama ascended to the top of the sea, how many years has it been since this happened!
"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit...?!"
"Oh, right... your ability."
Propping herself up with one hand, Big Mom jumped out of the deep pit. She had also remembered some information about Reiner.
As 'companions' who had been on the same ship, Linlin was all too familiar with Whitebeard's power.
"I never thought I'd see that guy's power again in this way. No wonder you have the courage to challenge me."
Big Mom grinned sinisterly and clenched her fists, the veins on the back of her hands popping.
"But not just anyone can be called Whitebeard!!"
Big Mom held Napoleon with both hands. Zeus flew up and attached itself to the tip of the blade in response. Prometheus coiled around the section in front of the hilt.
Violent thunder surged, and flames burst forth. A ring of energy gathered on the body of the sword!
"Narukami Ken!!" (Resonant Light Sword!!)
With an explosive roar from Big Mom, she swung her sword from a distance. The combination of lightning, fire, and sword technique, a compressed energy sword light, tore through the earth and swept towards Reiner!
Reiner faced Big Mom and sank into a half-squat, his leg muscles exploding with power.
Bang!
The ground was heavily stomped, leaving an afterimage. His figure instantly shot out.
The wind blew Reiner's golden hair back. A scorching heatwave washed over him, and the energy sword light grazed his body as it passed.
Big Mom locked onto him and swung the blade. The azure-blue energy beam danced wildly like a long whip, turning everything in its path to scorched earth.
In a few flashes, Reiner was almost upon her.
Just before he was hit by the energy beam, he swung the battle-axe in a circle and threw it like a boomerang!
The rotating battle-axe let out a whistling sound as it flew straight.
The space it passed through formed a tear, and it split the energy beam in two like cutting tofu!
Clang!!
Big Mom chopped down with her greatsword, deflecting the giant axe. Her own massive body also staggered back a few steps.
A figure had already stuck to her face!
Reiner's upper body leaned back slightly. He sneered, his coiled arm covered in Haki, his muscles and veins bulging.
"Annihilating Rush Fist: Martial Pierce!!"
Bang!!
Before Big Mom's suddenly terrified eyes, the glowing dark fist viciously pierced her face, and the impact exploded!!
Big Mom's face was directly pushed to one side by the immense force. A large tooth flew out with a spray of blood!
The technique of internal destruction, which used Armament Haki, penetrated her tough defense and ravaged her body from within.
Using her terrifying physical fitness, the enraged Big Mom forcefully stopped her toppling body.
"Don't be so arrogant, you brat!!"
Her disheveled hair on her gloomy face made her look ferocious. Big Mom raised her clenched fist and smashed down brutally!
Bang!!
Reiner gritted his teeth and raised his arms to block. His feet smashed into the ground, and the cracked earth spread out like a spiderweb.
"Rubber King Cobra!!"
The fists, which had been weaving a net in the space, had now accelerated to their limit.
At a speed invisible to the naked eye, they once again struck Big Mom's face!
Bang!!
The coiled Conqueror's Haki erupted with black lightning at the moment the fist made contact!
This time.
Big Mom could no longer stop her body. Like a giant rubber ball, she was sent flying, scraping along the ground and plowing a trench hundreds of meters long!
