Chapter 200: The Spoilers
Charlotte Linlin, over eight meters tall, wearing a pink dress, and looking bloated, stood atop the cloud-like Homie, Zeus, flying over the charred treetops straight toward the battlefield.
"Ma~ma~mamama!"
"The Lunarian race... the Giant race..." A happy smile appeared on her ugly, witch-like face, making anyone who saw it shudder.
At the edge of the beach, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Perospero, watched his mother, who had broken away from the group and was heading straight for the massive battlefield. Cold sweat instantly dripped from his forehead, and he began to panic.
"Mama, Whitebeard and the Archangel are both over there! Isn't it too rash to do this?" Perospero's voice was filled with a hint of terror.
In mid-air, Big Mom's smile instantly vanished, and her whole face darkened. "What are you talking about, Perospero?! You think I'm afraid of Whitebeard and that little brat? What a joke!"
As the saying goes, over 80% of the world's top-tier powerhouses believe their strength exceeds 80% of the other top-tier powerhouses. The remaining 20% believe they are the strongest. As an existence in the first category, Big Mom naturally feared no one in the world.
Big Mom turned her head, looked coolly at her eldest son, and said in a very dangerous tone, "Hurry up and follow me! Go directly to that battlefield!"
As her words fell, Big Mom rode her thundercloud Zeus into the distance, heading straight for the chaotic battlefield.
On the beach, the pirates saw this, their faces turning pale. They hurriedly quickened their pace, rushing toward the battlefield from which the roars were coming.
Charlotte Smoothie glanced at Perospero, then, with a single step, crossed dozens of meters, quickly following her mother's steps.
As time passed, Smoothie and Big Mom crossed the charred forest and arrived at the roaring battlefield. The sudden appearance of the two figures, making no attempt to hide their presence, made the surrounding pirates' faces change drastically, and they were instantly scared and covered in sweat.
"Big... Mom?!"
"Wh-why is she here?!"
In that instant, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were already at a disadvantage, saw her and became extremely flustered, subconsciously retreating. It wasn't until many of them were sent flying by giant blades that they came back to their senses.
The members of Louis's crew did not stop their actions because of Big Mom's arrival. On the contrary, they took the opportunity to finish off many of the dazed enemies.
At the edge of the battlefield, Charlotte Smoothie looked at the pirates lying all over the ground and the shattered battlefield stained red with blood, and fell into a brief shock. "The strongest Whitebeard Pirates... were actually beaten to such a disadvantage?"
Above her, Big Mom looked at the figures in the distance, each with black wings on their back, white hair, and blazing fire on their backs, and she, too, froze on the spot.
"The Lunarian race... there are so many of them?"
On the other side, Smoothie, however, had noticed another group on the battlefield, and her expression gradually became strange. "Mama, look at those small giants. The power they're displaying is as formidable as a giant's, but their speed is far greater. Add to that their small-giant-like physique... they feel like—"
Big Mom heard her, and subconsciously followed Smoothie's gaze, taking in the full view of the burly figures who were rampaging among the pirates. One by one, the extremely burly figures were charging into the pirates at high speed, like lightning. Every swing of their giant weapons sent swathes of pirates flying. Such an existence was not an isolated case; there were many similar individuals.
After a long while, Big Mom came back to her senses, her eyes wide, an expression of joy and disbelief on her witch-like face.
"Are they... could they be... the Buccaneer race?!"
The next moment, an incomparably joyous smile appeared on Big Mom's face. "The Buccaneer race! There's no mistake! All the characteristics match! They look so similar, they're probably even pure-blooded!!"
Unlike other races, Buccaneers were difficult to identify by their appearance. Even the World Government could only judge who was a Buccaneer through their Lineage Factor. But now, this group before Big Mom's eyes possessed the strength of giants, speed surpassing giants, and a tall stature. Everything matched the characteristics of the Buccaneer race. Coupled with the fact that they had appeared together, it made Big Mom instantly certain that they were Buccaneers.
"Ma~ma~mamama!" Big Mom turned her head to look at the tall man who had walked out of the forest behind her, a smile of approval on her face.
"Well done, Oven! Thanks to you, they've become complete enemies. Only then could so many Lunarians and Buccaneers appear before my eyes."
To this, the tall man with the three-tiered, fan-shaped orange hair replied humbly, "Mama, when I was handling that matter, I just wanted to make them really fight. I didn't expect to have such a great harvest."
To this, the smile on Big Mom's face grew even wider. "I'll remember your contribution, Oven!" she said with a laugh.
"Yes, Mama," Charlotte Oven replied, lowering his head.
In the distance, Road, who had been frozen, slowly woke up. Realizing where he was, he abruptly broke out of the ice. On the other side, Hajrudin, waking from his unconscious state, opened his eyes, touched his chest, and finding no wound, slowly stood up. The next moment, a longsword that was extremely large even for a giant flew over and embedded itself in the ground in front of him.
Hajrudin saw this and subconsciously looked in the direction the sword had come from. Gerd, in her hybrid-beast form, slowly strode past the fallen blue giant, dragging her single-bladed giant axe as she walked straight toward the edge of the forest.
When she saw Charlotte Linlin standing at the edge of the forest, Hajrudin's face instantly changed. He hurriedly grabbed the longsword in front of him, transformed into his dragon-man form, and walked over.
THUD—THUD.
Gerd strode heavily toward Big Mom, her face, stained with the blood of Little Oars, incomparably grim.
"What are you doing here, Charlotte Linlin!"
"Hm?"
Hearing this furious rebuke, Big Mom's face became unsightly. She abruptly turned her head to look. A tall, golden-furred female giant in the beast-man form of an animal was walking toward her. Her light blue dress and giant single-bladed battle-axe, which were exactly the same as the bounty poster, instantly made Big Mom recall the identity of this giant.
The next moment, an expression of mixed joy and surprise appeared on Big Mom's ugly face. "Gerd?!" she shouted excitedly. "It's been over sixty years since we've seen each other!"
However, Gerd did not have a pleasant expression for this monster who had destroyed her village and killed her people's hero. Facing Big Mom's friendly appearance, Gerd raised her furry cat's-paw hand and abruptly lifted her blood-stained, single-bladed giant axe, pointing it straight at Big Mom's head.
"I don't remember us being friends. Could you please get the hell off this island?"
...
Big Mom's smile froze on her face, and it quickly turned grim.
Around her, the executives of the Charlotte Family who had arrived first saw this and were all furious, glaring at Gerd and the several giants who were rapidly approaching.
"What did you say, Gerd?" Big Mom tore off her disguise, her entire being revealing her cruel and vicious nature, her true colors exposed.
"We said, get the hell out of here! Didn't you hear?" Hajrudin, in his dragon-man form, stepped forward, his words sharply countering hers.
Because their side had so many high-end fighters, and there was still a formidable old Lunarian man in the forest who hadn't made a move, Hajrudin was not the least bit polite. The Archangel Pirates, with the addition of the Lunarians and Buccaneers, were completely sufficient to deal with the attacks of two top-tier forces.
"Hajrudin." Big Mom's voice gradually became grim and low.
As if sensing Mama's anger, the captain's hat on her head opened its eyes and then quickly transformed into a sharp, large sword, which she grasped in her hand.
Just then, a sharp slash flew from the end of the horizon. After tearing a huge canyon in the earth, its momentum undiminished, it directly cut Big Mom's thundercloud Zeus in two.
With Zeus cut down, a bewildered Big Mom fell from mid-air. "Zeus?" she asked, confused.
Before she could realize what had happened, a giant hand, composed of storm, flames, and lightning, extended from the horizon, raised high, and, under the terrified gazes of countless people, rapidly extended in Big Mom's direction.
Everything in the giant hand's path disintegrated, spreading like dust. The large hand extended rapidly, and in Big Mom's furious eyes, it grabbed her tightly and pulled her into the distance.
Soon, Big Mom's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving a group of dumbfounded Charlotte Family members stranded. Before they could even come back to their senses, the four giants in front of them raised their weapons, their bodies boiling with Haki, which shrouded them like a mist.
Then, the four, led by Hajrudin, all swung their weapons, which were wreathed in Armament Haki, and unleashed a near-destructive shockwave.
"HAKOKU!"
In an area untouched by the war, Amit, who had just stood up, after some thought, sat back down again without any psychological burden.
With a series of furious roars, Big Mom, who was tightly gripped by the large hand, flew sideways at a speed much faster than when she had arrived. She flew straight across the rubble-strewn battlefield, all the way to the mountain range.
Under Louis's control, the giant hand, composed of multiple Fantasy Species, directly threw Big Mom at Whitebeard, who was standing by his bisento. And Louis himself retreated a hundred meters away, watching this scene with a blank expression.
After Katakuri had come to Dressrosa and proposed what seemed like an alliance but was actually just him coveting their bodies, Louis's impression of the Charlotte Family had become quite poor. Even his desire to poach Katakuri had faded considerably. And just a short while after that incident, the Charlotte Family had dared to appear before him again, which made Louis's impression of them even worse. They had now fallen to a level second only to the World Government faction.
And Whitebeard, facing Big Mom, who was flying rapidly toward him, had a flash of coldness in his eyes. He clenched his fist, and wreathed it in Conqueror's Haki and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and punched.
CRACK—
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.
Marco the Phoenix, who had barely recovered some of his senses, transformed into a great azure bird and circled rapidly overhead, urgently relaying his pops's order.
"Everyone, retreat from this island immediately! This is Pops's order! The Archangel Pirates have another monster-level power!!"
In the sea of people, Daz Bonez, covered in blood, pulled his hand from the chest of the Whitebeard Pirates' Seventh Division Commander, Rakuyo. Then, under the furious gazes of the others, he left and walked toward another commander.
Yelena's pale armor was stained with many frozen patches of blood. She walked at an unhurried pace. In front of Flower Sword Vista and Diamond Jozu, she casually swung her war hammer and killed Kingdew, who was trembling and trying to get up.
Seeing this, the others' eyes were wide with fury, and roaring, they once again launched an attack on the ferocious, pale figure.
The order to retreat was spread throughout the entire battlefield by the flying Marco. Perhaps it was out of fear of death, or perhaps because Marco held extremely high prestige and the others recognized his command, the remaining less than ten thousand people gradually began to retreat.
The other thirty thousand or so, dozens of pirate captains, the sixteen divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates totaling over a thousand men, and more than half of the division commanders... were now unable to leave.
