"Well, well, Sengoku! The Marines sure are bold, daring to strike directly at my stronghold!" Big Mom shouted, her massive form casting a menacing shadow.
"Does this mean you're declaring war on the New World?!" Her face darkened, her voice dripping with cold fury.
Faced with Big Mom's aggressive posturing, Sengoku merely sneered.
In the past, the Marines often played it safe, trying to keep the world's balance.
But now, letting these Emperors run wild would only plunge the world into true calamity.
"Hmph, Linlin! We haven't even exchanged pleasantries and you're already jumping to conclusions." Sengoku's eyes narrowed, his gaze turning stone cold.
"Our objective is simple: it's you, Big Mom Pirates. You should immediately cease your protection of the Vinsmoke Family!" His voice hardened, like steel.
"Stop selling those counterfeit Seraphims! Otherwise..." Sengoku's words hung in the air, thick with unspoken threat.
"You can't blame me for destroying your precious Whole Cake Island!!"
"Mamamama! The Marines sure becomes really arrogant nowadays!" Big Mom roared with furious laughter, a sound like grinding boulders.
"Then let me see just what the Marines are truly capable of, daring to utter such bold words! All members of the Big Mom Pirates, hear my command—DESTROY ALL THOSE MARINES!!" She glared across the battlefield.
"All Seraphims, report to me!"
With those two booming orders, the Big Mom Pirates' top executives, led by the Sweet Commanders, surged forward with countless soldiers in tow.
Behind them followed hundreds of counterfeit Seraphims.
The war was about to begin!
"Hmph, deploy a hundred Seraphims!"
Not to be outdone, Sengoku's voice boomed across the battlefield.
"All Marines! Give them everything you've got!!"
Immediately, fifty thousand elite Marines, spearheaded by Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals, charged headlong into the enemy lines!
A hundred of Warlord Seraphims, following Sengoku's precise command, shot forward, clashing directly with the enemy's knockoff Seraphims!
This was a crucial move, designed to prevent the counterfeit Seraphims from tearing through their ordinary Marine soldiers.
After all, no matter how inferior the counterfeits are, their strength was still slightly on par with the Warlords—far beyond what any regular Marine could hope to handle!
"BOOM!" "BOOM!"
Before the counterfeit Seraphims could even close the distance, lasers erupted from their palms!
In an instant, two searing beams collided in mid-air, sending up colossal plumes of smoke and dust.
The next moment, real Seraphims clashed with the counterfeit Seraphims!
Armament Haki flared around their fists and blades!
Just like the renowned Marine Six Styles, their movements were fluid, deadly!
Equally masterful swordsmanship met in a furious dance!
"Clang!"
With a metallic screech of steel, both Seraphims were forced back.
However, the Marine Seraphims only recoiled a single step, while counterfeit Seraphims stumbled back a full five or six steps.
At a glance, it was crystal clear: the original was stronger—more agile in combat, with techniques displaying far greater and more refined power.
But the gap wasn't that big.
For a time, even the mighty Marine Seraphims found themselves hard-pressed, suppressed by the sheer numbers of the enemy's counterfeit one.
"Quick! Bring it over!!"
"Ready, fire!"
"BOOM!!"
Deafening cannon fire erupted, monstrous shells instantly raining down on countless Homie soldiers, blasting them away one after another in a storm of destruction.
"Huh?!" Big Mom's expression darkened, a thunderous scowl forming on her face.
"Why do the Marines have such heavy weaponry?! Normally, those are the cannons only found on battleships!"
She whipped her head around.
In the distance, countless Marine soldiers were tirelessly transporting various artillery pieces to positions outside the anywhere door.
Alongside them were massive stockpiles of ammunition.
The bombardment was utterly relentless, as if they had no fear of ever running out of shells!
"Damn it, so its like this..." Big Mom gnashed her teeth in fury.
The enemy used that accursed "door" that allowed them to endlessly supply weapons and ammunition for this war!
It was downright infuriating!
"If only I had a door like that..."
A flash of pure, unadulterated greed flickered in Big Mom's monstrous eyes.
If she possessed such a tech, she could use these methods in her own way against anyone!
Big Mom's gaze sharpened, her eyes filling with a savage ferocity as her haki surged violently.
A power that struck fear into countless hearts, seemingly emanating from the very depths of her soul, erupted from her massive body.
This was her Conqueror's Haki!!
An invisible, heavy and oppressive force, swept across the entire battlefield!
The next moment...
"Thud—"
"Thud—"
Under the crushing impact of the Conqueror's Haki, the Marine soldiers transporting cannonballs all blacked out and collapsed to the ground like lifeless doll.
These back lines Marines, being the weaker among their ranks, simply couldn't withstand the immense shockwave of Big Mom's overwhelming Haki!
"Good, good, good... What a perfect opportunity!" Big Mom's eyes lit up with wicked delight as she immediately urged Zeus to fly towards one of the unguarded doors!
"Hmm?"
From the rear, the stoic Hawkeye observed Big Mom's sudden move towards the doors.
Expressionlessly, he took a single, deliberate step forward.
"After all," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper.
"i need to put on a show..."
Just as Hawkeye calmly reached for the hilt of his massive black blade, Yoru.....
Suddenly, The Admiral level Seraphim 'Sakai', shot into the sky like a rocket!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Using the Marine Six Styles' Moon Walk, Sakai propelled himself through the air with explosive force, swiftly blocking Big Mom's path!
"Hmph! You think a mere Seraphim can stop me?!" Big Mom sneered, her voice laced with disdain.
"Napoleon!!"
Suddenly, Napoleon, her mighty hat, flew directly into Big Mom's waiting grasp, transforming into a colossal buster sword.
Gripping it with both hands, she swung fiercely at Sakai I!
A terrifying, compressed slash of sword energy, imbued with her raw power, tore through the air!
Sakai was no slower, he instantly drew the magnificent sword from his back and—
"HA!!"
—slashed in a powerful counter-attack!
"CLANG!!"
Their sword energies collided violently, a deafening explosion of steel meeting steel erupted.
A series of ear-piercing screeches ripped through the air as the shockwaves from their titanic clash erupted into a swirling tempest, sweeping outwards in all directions, rattling every soul on Whole Cake Island!
