BOOOOM!!!!
The Heavenly Fire and Seismic Thunder! slammed straight into the head of the Abyssal Slumber, without the slightest bit of flourish.
It was pure destruction, condensed from a Yonko's rage, Haki, and the power of two top-tier Homies.
Seawater was violently evaporated and torn apart under the extreme heat and lightning.
The massive head of the Abyssal Slumber instantly exploded under that unmatched blow, dispersing into scalding steam that filled the sky, letting out a deafening, agonized wail.
"We did it!"
The Big Mom Pirates erupted into thunderous cheers.
But the battle was not over.
Even without its head, the giant body continued to struggle by instinct. Seawater surged in from all directions, trying to re-form its shape.
"Don't let it recover!"
Katakuri's calm command rang across the battlefield.
"Smoothie, keep wringing it dry! Cracker, seal its damages with hardened biscuits!"
"Understood!"
The Charlotte Family displayed the discipline and coordination expected of a Yonko's elite.
Smoothie pushed the power of the fruit to its absolute limit. An even stronger twisting force enveloped the giant's shattered body, furiously extracting the seawater that formed it. Beneath its feet, a massive, constantly spinning vortex took shape.
Cracker, meanwhile, produced countless extremely hard biscuit shields, hurling them with precision into every wound that attempted to regenerate.
Coated in Armament Haki, these biscuits acted like the toughest of "patches," greatly slowing the flow and recombination of seawater.
Under the combined assault, the Abyssal Slumber's regeneration grew slower and more labored.
Like a colossal beast bound by countless ropes and bleeding endlessly, its struggles weakened, and the watery sheen covering its body grew dimmer and dimmer.
At last, accompanied by a long sigh that seemed to rise from the deep sea, filled with exhaustion and unwillingness, this titan, casually created by Renzo, could no longer maintain its form.
SPLSH
The billions of tons of seawater that made up its body lost their final cohesion, collapsing like a breached dam and crashing back into the ocean, returning to where they belonged.
Only raging waves remained on the battlefield, unable to calm down long after the fierce clash.
"We won! We beat that monster!"
"Mamama~! A mere lousy water doll!"
Big Mom raised Napoleon high, letting out a triumphant roar of laughter. The rest of the crew cheered wildly as well, the joy of victory washing away the earlier tension.
In their eyes, the most troublesome thing had been dealt with.
As for the Admiral, without his fangs and claws, was already prey in their hands.
"Everyone, listen up!"
Big Mom's gaze turned savage once more as she pointed her blade toward the distant Endless Sheep.
"Flatten that ship! Capture the Haiiroyo! His soul will be the finest addition to my collection!"
"RAAGHHH!"
The pirates' morale surged. Led by the Sweet Commanders, they charged forward like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, launching a thunderous assault on the Endless Sheep.
"Candy Maiden!"
"Heat Sea Hell!"
Perospero, Daifuku, and the other officers rushed at the front, unleashing a storm of ranged attacks that poured toward the Endless Sheep like a torrential downpour.
Katakuri and Smoothie moved even faster, flanking left and right, preparing to board directly and finish Renzo and the others once and for all.
Facing a saturation attack capable of easily annihilating an entire Marine fleet, the people aboard the Endless Sheep remained perfectly calm.
Monet and Potts didn't even bother to dodge, simply standing quietly behind Renzo.
As for Renzo, he calmly watched the sky-filling barrage, as if he were watching a movie that had nothing to do with him.
He slowly raised his hand, as though about to do something.
But at that very moment-
A golden flash, without any warning, tore through the boundary between sky and sea at a speed beyond normal human perception.
Fwoosh!
The light ignored distance itself, appearing instantly between the Endless Sheep and the Big Mom Pirates' attack.
The radiance condensed into the figure of a tall man wearing a Marine justice coat, sunglasses, and a lazy expression.
Marine Admiral "Kizaru" Borsalino.
"Yasakani no Magatama."
Kizaru didn't even turn around. He simply raised both hands lazily, countless dazzling light bullets blasting from his fingertips like heavenly petals, precisely intercepting every incoming attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Syrup, heat waves, Candy, everything detonated, evaporated, or was pierced through the instant it met the light.
A brilliant and deadly "rain of light" fell from the sky.
Then, before anyone could process what was happening, Kizaru's figure turned into a beam of light once more. At an utterly unreasonable speed, he appeared between the two Sweet Commanders charging at the front, Perospero and Smoothie.
His signature slow, drawn-out voice rang out, yet his movements were incomparably fast.
"Light-Speed Kick."
A golden leg lashed out, carrying terrifying power capable of shattering an island. In a split second, it struck left and right, slamming precisely into Perospero's and Smoothie's chests.
THUD! THUD!
Two heavy impacts echoed.
Two high-ranking Big Mom Pirates officers didn't even have time to react before being blasted away by that irresistible force, crashing violently into the ships of their own fleet.
Only after finishing all this did Kizaru casually land back on the sea's surface, hands in his pockets. He tilted his head slightly, looking at the Big Mom Pirates, who had fallen into dead silence after the sudden turn of events.
He nudged his sunglasses up and spoke in that infuriatingly laid-back tone:
"Ahh… to run into such a big scene the moment I arrive."
"How terrifying~, Charlotte Linlin."
