The sea roared.
The sky trembled.
The waters around the G-5 branch had already transformed into a battleground straight out of myth, where colossal beings clashed like ancient gods.
BIG MOM, wreathed in thunder and fire, swung Napoleon with every ounce of power fit to destroy nations.
Each slash tore through the water giant's body, the blistering flames evaporated massive swaths of seawater, while the violent lightning tried to break it down through sheer electrical force.
But the Abyssal Slumber always answered with the same thing, a slow, lazy-looking strike that nevertheless carried the full weight of the ocean.
Every swing of the "Sea God Trident" in its hand felt like it could pry apart the whole sea itself, pushing BIG MOM back dozens of meters, body and blade alike.
"Mama~~~mamama! You oversized lump of soggy seawater that only knows brute force!"
The longer BIG MOM fought, the more shocked and furious she became.
The thing's regeneration was downright unreasonable.
No matter how much damage she inflicted… No matter how wide the wounds she carved-
The endless seawater around it would simply surge back in the next second, filling and restoring everything as if nothing had happened.
It felt like fighting a sandbag that never gets tired, never gets injured, and hits harder than anything she'd ever faced.
It was infuriating.
Meanwhile, aboard the Queen Mama Chanter, the faces of BIG MOM's children had grown increasingly grim.
"Mom… is actually being held back by that monster…?"
Charlotte Smoothie frowned deeply.
"We can't let this continue."
Beside her stood the tallest, most reliable pillar of the fleet, Charlotte Katakuri.
His voice came low and calm from behind his scarf.
His future-sight Observation Haki had already "seen" where this fight was heading.
If they allowed Mama to keep brawling with that creature one-on-one, the likely ending would be,
Mama burning too much stamina and falling into her berserk state…
While that seawater giant could fight on forever.
"Mama's real opponent is that Marine 'Gray Sheep' lying down on that ship."
Katakuri's gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, locking tightly onto the relaxed figure resting on the distant Endless Sheep.
"That seawater giant is nothing but one of his toys. We'll deal with the toy."
"You're absolutely right, brother!"
Cracker clapped his hands.
Countless biscuit soldiers split off from his body, landing on the deck, forming a fully assembled army.
"We'll show that marine what a 'family' of the Charlotte clan really means!"
The moment the words left his mouth,
Three Sweet Commanders, along with several elite officers, all launched their attacks at once!
"Juicy Giant: Blade!"
Smoothie struck first.
Pointing her long sword at the seawater giant, she activated her fruit.
An invisible twisting force instantly gripped the Slumbering Servant's right arm.
The arm, made of ultra-dense seawater, twisted violently as if wrung by a massive unseen hand, forcing out a huge column of seawater that shot into the sky!
The giant's right arm visibly shrank, its power and speed significantly diminished.
"Oh?"
On the Endless Sheep, Renzo finally put down his teacup, showing interest for the first time.
"How amusing. You're trying to wring my toy dry?"
Before the giant could draw new seawater to restore itself,
another attack came tearing in.
"Mochi Thrust!"
Katakuri appeared at the giant's flank like a ghost.
His right leg transformed into a rapidly spinning, Armament Haki–coated mochi drill,
and he drove it straight into the giant's relatively fragile waist!
Schlkk!!
Unlike BIG MOM's wide, destructive swings, Katakuri's attack was precise and deadly.
The strike bored a massive hole straight through the giant's waist, and the impact was so great that even its enormous body staggered!
"Biscuit Soldiers. Charge!"
Cracker seized the moment.
With a shout, hundreds of his biscuit soldiers, armed with blades and shields, each boasting formidable strength, swarmed into the opening Katakuri had created.
They climbed the giant's body fearlessly, hacking and tearing apart its structure, disrupting the seawater's attempts to heal, like a savage swarm of ants devouring an elephant.
Then came Perospero's Candy Waves, Oven's Heat, and countless other family abilities,
bursting across the giant's body like a barrage of dazzling fireworks.
In an instant, the tide turned completely.
The seawater giant, which had been matching BIG MOM blow for blow and even outclassed her in regeneration, now fell into a disadvantage under the combined assault of the Charlotte family.
Its massive body became the perfect target.
Smoothie's wringing gradually weakened its structure.
Katakuri's precision strikes hit its core connections.
Cracker's biscuit army tore open its wounds further and further.
"Mamama!! Well done, my children!"
BIG MOM cackled wildly.
Seizing the moment when the giant was pinned down from all sides, she pushed Prometheus and Hera to their absolute limits.
"Heavenly Fire, Seismic Thunder!"
Flames and storm clouds fused beneath her blade, transforming Napoleon into a massive energy greatsword that spanned the heavens, carrying the full weight of divine judgment.
With unstoppable force, she brought it down upon the giant's head!
This time, the seawater giant could neither dodge nor retreat.
Half its body had been wrung dry by Smoothie, slowing it.
Katakuri had pierced its waist, destabilizing its core.
Cracker's biscuit army clung to its surface, interfering with energy flow.
Faced with a Yonko's full-power strike, this newborn "big toy" seemed to have reached its end.
"Aiyaaa…"
On the Endless Sheep, Renzo stretched lazily and finally sat up straight.
Instead of regret for the masterpiece about to be destroyed, a faint smile bloomed on his face.
A smile that said he could finally start getting a little serious.
