"Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!!!"
The Dainsleif pierced the massive and heavy Charlotte Linlin like a fork through cured fish. The incredibly sharp spike made of Gundam Frame alloy easily pierced through BIG MOM's proud Armament Haki and her 'Iron Balloon' physique, shattering her right shoulder.
It was a huge and hideous wound. The sharp Dainsleif drove BIG MOM directly into the massive and sturdy cake building behind her, pinning her there!
There was no Haki enhancement, just the simplest, most direct, and most terrifying physical attack. At this moment, BIG MOM seemed to recall being beaten by the bastard Garp's fists back when she was in the Rocks Pirates.
"Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!!!"
BIG MOM cried out in agony, like a ten-ton child. She hadn't been injured in decades, especially not with this kind of piercing, excruciating pain.
The entire Cake Island fell silent. No one understood what happened. It was as if an attack suddenly arrived from the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it nearly took the life of a Yonko.
The first to react was 'Big News' Morgans. This head of the world's news birds, a massive humanoid bird, frantically took photos of BIG MOM pinned to the wall, yelling maniacally:
"Big news, big news!!! The Yonko Tea Party was nearly assassinated! The Iron Balloon was pierced and severely wounded! The BIG MOM Pirates are on the brink of collapse!"
Perospero glared fiercely at the large bird, who clearly didn't care about the consequences. But instead of teaching him a lesson, they had to deal with Mama's situation!
"Call Saint Mark here. Notify Mont-d'Or to go down. Totto Land is under a complete state of emergency! No ship can leave!"
Cake Island fell into chaos. Perospero commanded while he and a group of his siblings tried to free BIG MOM from the cake she was impaled on. Another group of Charlotte family children frantically directed the lockdown of Totto Land.
This might be a conspiracy by another Yonko crew. Today, they might be planning to wipe out the BIG MOM Pirates!
"What a shame..."
Shin lowered the sniper scope on his shoulder with regret. The aiming coordinates were correct, but he didn't expect BIG MOM's physical interference ability to be so strong.
He had aimed that shot at Charlotte Linlin's head, but it was slightly deflected by her Emperor Sword during the flight. Coupled with her Iron Balloon physique, a single shot from a kinetic weapon capable of changing the planet's geography only managed to tear through one of her shoulders.
In a normal world, this injury would be devastating. But in the One Piece world, where you can instantly regrow lost teeth by drinking milk, an injury like this would probably recover in a few days unless an arm was lost.
But even so, this shot brought him a significant amount of 'income'.
"Severely wounded one of the Yonko, 'BIG MOM' Charlotte Linlin, gained 100,000 virtual review points!"
This number seemed huge, but converted at a 10,000:1 ratio, Shin only received 10 review points...
He had checked earlier. The minimum review points required to purchase a product at his current E-rank was 50 review points, with a maximum of 500.
However, the option to receive a random review item was cheaper at 25 points, but Shin instinctively felt that randomization, like gacha, was full of the operator's malice.
Furthermore, the exaggerated conversion ratio of review points probably only applied to this world. After all, the Barbatos Gundam was a freebie for the review test, and it was already good that he got any profit from it.
"Who the hell are you, you bastard!!!"
Charlotte Oven shouted at Shin in shock and anger. Vice Admiral Tsusa also looked at him with suspicion, saying solemnly:
"Are you reinforcements from the World Government?"
"No, I'm neither side," Shin turned on the loudspeaker and said bluntly. "I just came to solve the problem for one of you—and to snipe that fat old woman who's addicted to sugar."
"Dodge, Oven!"
Katakuri immediately roared at Oven, but the full-power thrusters of Barbatos's backpack suddenly activated, bringing the instant supersonic speed close to Charlotte Oven's side in a flash.
The massive Gundam Frame alloy mace-hammer, aided by the booster on its back, slammed towards Charlotte Oven like a falling meteor.
"High Heat Slash!!!"
Caught off guard, Oven could only raise his great sword to defend against the falling engine mace-hammer. But the enormous impact force transmitted from the terrifying war machine made Oven's body tremble and crack.
He was not a Logia-type user, nor was he a special Awakened Paramecia like Katakuri. He couldn't evade this terrifying physical attack by twisting his body.
The Armament Haki wrapped around his hands shattered instantly. Oven had only felt such monstrous strength from his mother when she was enraged.
He couldn't sit still and wait for death! Between life and death, Oven pushed his Devil Fruit ability to the extreme, grabbing the descending mace-hammer and activating his Netsu Netsu no Mi ability at full power.
In an instant, extreme heat spread from his hands across the Barbatos Gundam. The ultra-high temperature generated by the fruit ability, like an oven, baked the Barbatos's entire body red.
"Turn into molten iron and disappear!!!"
Oven roared, consuming all his physical strength to activate his ability. This ultra-high temperature was enough to instantly evaporate the sea it touched.
However—it was useless.
The Barbatos Gundam seemed completely unaffected—no, it was completely unaffected. This level of ultra-high temperature could not harm it at all.
During the Calamity War, the Nano-Laminate coating developed for the seventy-two Gundams to combat the M.A.'s endless beam weapons was capable of withstanding high-temperature beams up to ten thousand units of Celsius temperature without damage.
Forget Charlotte Oven's Netsu Netsu no Mi. Even if Akainu's magma and Ace's fire were all gathered, the heat generated would be completely unable to shake Barbatos's Nano-Laminate coating.
This was an absolute technological advantage.
In Oven's disbelieving gaze, Barbatos's tail blade, like a flexible venomous snake, suddenly ejected from the tail and instantly thrust towards the immobilized Oven.
Just as he was about to be pierced by the tail blade, the ground beneath his feet suddenly wiggled, turning into flexible mochi that enveloped Oven. Katakuri, using his ability, created a mochi fist carrying Armament Haki, which fiercely struck Barbatos's tail blade.
The incredibly sharp alloy tail blade easily sliced through the mochi fist of the Musou Donuts, and this brief pause allowed Katakuri to take Oven away from Barbatos.
Shin did not stop. Barbatos's two arm Vulcans and arm rocket launchers instantly fired towards the pirates near Oven.
A howling metal storm, carrying shells with power far exceeding the artillery of this world, instantly enveloped this sandy area. The affiliated pirates of Totto Land didn't even have time to scream in terror before they were torn to shreds by the immense firepower.
The possibility of ambushing and killing Oven here was already low, as there was a cheat user who could predict the future by eight seconds. And until he figured out whether these Devil Fruit users could assimilate his Gundam, any reckless action was inadvisable.
"Interview task complete. Video recording finished. Gained 100 review points."
The system's gentle female voice rang in Shin's mind. These were review points, not virtual review points. It seemed his first task was complete.
"Purururururururu~~~~"
The Den Den Mushi chirped urgently. Katakuri, who had instinctively realized something was wrong, answered the call. The message transmitted nearly made him lose control!
"It's bad, Brother Katakuri! Cake Island main island has been invaded by an enemy. Mama was wounded by an assassin! Please come back quickly to take charge!!!"
Charlotte Mont-d'Or's anxious voice made Katakuri's eyes narrow. He then looked fiercely at the floating Barbatos Gundam in the sky, like a wolf.
"What a pity. Just a little more, just slightly off, and I could have blown that fat old hag's head open."
Shin's mocking voice spread across the entire battlefield through the loudspeaker. Tsusa's jaw dropped in shock. BIG MOM was injured?
The Iron Balloon, known for its defense, was wounded to the point that Totto Land needed a lockdown?
"Although I'd like to continue, it seems we both have more important things to do. It's a shame I couldn't finish off that witch, but I'll take my leave now."
"Don't run! Cut Mochi!!!"
Katakuri's body suddenly burst forward, his feet stomping the air, creating a sonic boom, and he rushed towards the ascending Barbatos like a rocket.
Barbatos pulled out the great sword from its back and slashed at the massive Armament Mochi war hammer approaching from the sky. The moment the blade and hammer collided, Katakuri was knocked back by the massive force, while Barbatos flew into the sky with the help of its vector thrusters, disappearing like a shooting star.
"...Damn it!"
Katakuri landed on the ground, clenching his fists, his face gloomy as he watched the retreating figure.
Mama was assassinated precisely during the Tea Party. That unknown large robot actually possessed a weapon capable of piercing Mama's terrifying defense—
The most terrifying thing was that this weapon could accurately snipe Mama's location from across Totto Land.
The thought that an enemy could be aiming at Mama's head from thousands of miles away made Katakuri shudder.
For a long time, he wouldn't be able to leave Mama's side!
Tsusa took everything in. This was undoubtedly a massive defeat for the BIG MOM Pirates, but it did not mean a victory for the Marines.
The weapon brought by that unknown individual possessed a terrifying power that could subvert justice. Even though the opponent chose to attack the pirates, the thought of this terrifying power roaming freely made Tsusa's scalp tingle.
He had to hurry back and report everything that happened here to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
As Tsusa was about to turn and run, Katakuri's sharp trident, 'Mogura', landed in front of him.
"Where are you going, Marine?" Katakuri's eyes shone with cold light, saying coldly, "Totto Land is not a place you can just come and leave as you please!"
"Although it's a bit shameless, you'll have to take the blame for Mama's assassination!"
