"Nani!"
Katakuri "saw" the future and his expression changed drastically.
In the future, he saw these clones suddenly erupt with even greater power.
As for what happened further ahead, he couldn't see.
The last image was merely the instant these clones unleashed their astonishing aura.
Wait!
Katakuri suddenly realized he had overlooked a cruel fact.
At that moment, Pyo and the other clones abruptly erupted with an overwhelming presence.
A powerful shockwave swept through every corner of the venue, then converged into a hurricane-like force that engulfed the entire area.
"Nani!"
Daifuku nearly popped his eyes out in shock. Unable to withstand the shockwave erupting right in front of him, he was helplessly sent flying.
He wasn't the only one.
Oven was also helplessly swept away by the shockwave.
More similar scenes played out simultaneously in the venue.
The eight clones remaining in the venue all erupted at once. Aside from Big Mom, who wasn't significantly affected, all the Charlotte Family members and officers were sent flying.
"Ha?"
The red glow in Big Mom's eyes dimmed momentarily.
Ray 1 and Ray 2 simultaneously unleashing their overwhelming presence made her instinctively sense a threat, briefly restoring her rationality.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
The red glow quickly returned to Big Mom's eyes as she brandished Napoleon, chasing after the two clones.
Her insatiable hunger had yet to be satisfied and had already begun consuming her body fat, noticeably slimming her down by at least two sizes.
Her reduced size directly resulted in an even more exaggerated speed.
Despite Ray 1 and Ray 2 going all out, they were still suppressed by Big Mom.
There was no way around it. If they couldn't break through her defenses, no amount of effort would change the outcome.
While they were being suppressed by Big Mom, the six other clones—Pyo and the rest—were the complete opposite.
Aside from Katakuri, who could foresee the future and barely hold on, the other Charlotte Family members were utterly defeated.
Even when Perospero arrived with over 10,000 chess soldiers as reinforcements, the outcome remained unchanged.
"Are they monsters?"
Daifuku was sent flying again by Pyo, coughing up blood in a wretched state.
Before he could finish speaking, another figure landed beside him—his younger brother, Oven.
Oven was in even worse condition.
The moment he hit the ground, he vomited large amounts of blood, clearly severely injured.
"Can you still hold on?"
Daifuku fought by controlling his genie, only suffering from the shockwaves. Oven, however, engaged in close combat, making his injuries far worse.
"I... I'm fine."
Oven's face was pale as he struggled to stand back up with his brother's help.
They weren't the only ones.
Elsewhere.
Smoothie groaned as her body skipped across the ground like a stone, tumbling over a hundred meters before finally crashing through a wall to stop.
Soon, another figure came flying toward her.
Smoothie looked up and saw it was Cracker, so she quickly moved to pull her exhausted brother out of the rubble.
"I... I can't go on."
Cracker forced out a bitter smile.
The fully unleashed clones effortlessly destroyed his biscuit soldiers.
Even after exhausting all his stamina, leaving him as drained as a dead dog, the speed at which he created biscuit soldiers couldn't keep up with how fast they were being destroyed.
"Can... can we win?"
Smoothie looked up at the venue with a bitter expression.
At that moment, the six clones were suppressing every Charlotte Family member who still dared to resist.
Meanwhile, she and Cracker were completely ignored by them.
This made Smoothie deeply resentful, but there was nothing she could do.
Their opponents were all monsters, terrifyingly strong!
Soon.
The only one left standing in the venue was Big Mom, still fiercely chasing after Ray 1 and Ray 2.
All the other Charlotte Family members and Big Mom Pirates officers were lying on the ground.
Among them, Tamago had it the worst, having already evolved to the stage of Count Niwatori.
If the clones hadn't been instructed not to kill, no one would have survived.
"Finally, it's over."
Umit sighed with mixed emotions.
The old era's Big Mom had ultimately lost to the new era's Dr. Reddy.
"No, Linlin hasn't lost yet."
Stussy had regained her composure, crossing her arms as she watched Big Mom chase the two clones, her expression grave.
So far, she could tell the clones were holding back, but she couldn't figure out Reddy's true intentions.
The only one who could clear up this mystery now was Big Mom herself.
"Exactly, Linlin is the symbol of Totto Land."
Du Feld spoke with envy. "As long as she isn't defeated, Totto Land hasn't lost."
The loan business wasn't something just anyone could do.
The minimum requirement was having enough strength to back it up.
Big Mom's strength was undeniable.
Du Feld envied Totto Land.
If he had such a powerhouse by his side, he'd even dare to lend money to the Celestial Dragons.
The Celestial Dragons were rich and didn't need loans?
That was easy!
With the right tricks tailored to their personalities, no amount of wealth would save them.
"I wonder if Dr. Reddy is willing to sell these monsters."
The performance of Pyo and the other clones had truly made Du Feld covetous. If he couldn't recruit Big Mom, buying one or even several of these monstrously powerful clones from Reddy wasn't out of the question.
He had money!
"Impossible."
A voice interrupted, making Du Feld frown. He glared darkly at Umit, who was closest to him.
Just a mere shipping magnate, at best dealing in smuggling—how could he possibly have a stronger influence than the "Loan Shark King"?
Yet, he saw Umit staring at him in shock.
"Dr. Reddy..."
Stussy's expression turned serious as she subtly prepared to defend herself.
She didn't think Reddy had come just to chat.
"Dr... Dr. Reddy..."
With Reddy's clones having suppressed all the officers and forces aside from Big Mom, even Du Feld had to feel some fear. He forced a dry laugh, trying to brush it off.
"Dr. Reddy, are you here to silence us?"
Morgan snapped photos of Reddy while asking excitedly, his tone full of zeal, as if he'd be content to die after uncovering the truth. He showed no fear, only the thrill of discovering a major scoop.
"Have the photos already been sent out?"
Reddy pointed helplessly at the Den Den Mushi in Morgan's hand.
Different professions required different expertise.
This was something he truly didn't understand.
However, Morgan's reaction undoubtedly gave him the answer.
"Dr. Reddy, I bear no ill will toward you."
Umit broke out in a cold sweat, quickly raising his hands to show he posed no threat to Reddy. He stood perfectly still, not daring to move, afraid of causing any misunderstanding.
"Your stupidity amuses me."
Morgan took one last full-body shot of Reddy before putting down the Den Den Mushi, sneering. "If Dr. Reddy really wanted to silence us, he wouldn't have given us a chance to speak."
Umit froze, then quickly realized.
That made sense.
"Dr. Reddy, how much would it cost for you to sell clones like these?"
With no immediate danger, Du Feld's ambition grew uncontrollably. His eyes burned with greed as he stared at Reddy.
But Reddy ignored him, instead giving Stussy a strange look.
Du Feld could only shut his mouth, his face dark as he glanced back and forth between Reddy and Stussy, as if trying to find something.
"Hmm?"
Stussy frowned slightly.
Reddy's gaze made her uncomfortable, as if he were appraising a piece of craftsmanship.
She was indeed the first successful creation of Vegapunk, but she had no desire to be treated as an artifact.
Reddy's eyes soon shifted away from her and back to Morgan.
"Would... you be willing to join me?"
