Chapter 195: The Pursuit of BIG MOM
BIG MOM led many members of the Charlotte family, surrounding the bodies of Counter , Cadenza, and Gala, remaining silent.
Nearby, Perospero, Mont, and Armand, who were heavily injured, were being treated by the ship doctor of the BIG MOM Pirate Crew.
A few young sisters were softly sobbing, wiping away their tears and muttering under their breath, "Big Brother..."
Charlotte Linlin seemed to want to crush her teeth, asking angrily, "Where's that kid who uses lightning?!"
"They have a special means of movement that can hide their presence. If I hadn't sensed killing intent on the road before, I wouldn't have discovered their trail," Katakuri explained calmly.
BIG MOM turned her head and glanced at her second son, slightly dissatisfied with Katakuri's performance. "I didn't expect you to be here and cause such a big loss."
"Our Charlotte family has never lost family members. Katakuri, this is your responsibility! The pain of losing children must be made to pay!"
"Yes, Mom!" Katakuri lowered his head, accepting the blame. "I failed to protect my younger siblings."
Katakuri, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, deeply resented himself for failing his responsibility as an older brother. Not only had he lost three younger brothers, but his sisters were also severely injured.
"Mom..." Perospero, his body scorched black, exhaled black smoke and tried to reason, "Even under the surveillance of the sea leech, it's already too late to chase after them."
BIG MOM's eyes burst with red light, her hair rising high as her aura surged.
All the Charlotte children immediately thought the same thing: 'Mom is angry!'
"Zeus!"
"Yes! Mom!"
"Chase them! I want them to regret stepping onto my Totland!"
BIG MOM didn't care about the deaths of her three sons. The only children she cared about were those who could help her become Pirate King, children who were powerful enough to aid her cause.
Such as Katakuri, Cracker, and Smoothie with their overwhelming strength.
Or Perospero and Mont-d'Or with their intelligence.
Perhaps Lola, who could bring powerful allies through marriage.
Or Brûlée, the three-eyed girl (pudding) with special abilities, opening her third eye on her forehead.
What truly made her angry was that Eric had humiliated her as the Empress of the Seas, coming to her Kingdom and wreaking havoc. If she didn't eliminate this new pirate, how could she retain her face as Empress of the Seas?!
"Beep beep." White clouds turned black, tangled with purple lightning, and her once cute face turned into an angry, mischievous grin.
"Go!" BIG MOM mounted Zeus and flew toward the Fearless ship.
"Mom!" Her children left behind shouted, but BIG MOM paid no attention, focused solely on pursuing Eric and his crew, who had offended her.
Custard e also offered his suggestion: "Let's help mom and capture the enemies who took away my three brothers!"
The other siblings nodded in agreement and boarded their respective ships to set off.
...
Back on the ship, Eric and the others were exhausted, with only Deidara , who had been clearing out the minions, still in good shape.
Eric forced himself to stay alert and said to Chiron, "Chiron, quickly head toward Fish-Man Island."
"I understand." Chiron quickly maneuvered the ship's wheel, and the Fearless ship drew a wide arc over the blue sea.
"Admiral Sakazuki, the enemy's fleet has begun to turn and retreat, we..."
"Chase them!" This was the most frequently said phrase by Akainu during this period.
"But now we're already in BIG MOM's territory..."
"We're the Navy! What kind of Navy would we be if we're afraid of pirates?!" Akainu glared sharply, barely holding back the urge to shoot the talkative soldier.
The soldier immediately saluted and replied, "Yes!"
In the break room, Esdeath said with some regret, "It's a shame we didn't get to see BIG MOM, and we don't know her strength."
"She's far stronger than Katakuri," Eric added, "You must have had a tough time fighting Katakuri one-on-one. After we return, you need to raise your strength and then pull them down from their positions."
"And—BIG MOM's temper won't let us off easily. She'll surely come after us alone."
Esdeath suddenly became full of energy. "Really?"
"She can fly too, so now is not the time to rest," Eric said with a mischievous grin. "It's the perfect time for Akainu to help us out a little~"
Ding—
Eric suddenly turned around as he sensed BIG MOM's presence. "She's coming, [Mind Network] has detected her rapidly flying this way!"
The others immediately stood up and went to the deck, preparing for battle.
"Wow, the sky's starting to darken. Is this the aura of BIG MOM?"
"So scary! It's too terrifying!"
"BIG MOM, the Empress of the Seas, the monster known alongside Kaido, Moria was beaten by Kaido..."
The wind began to pick up, heavy rain started falling, and the sea swells grew, with the once calm sea no longer peaceful.
The relatively younger Porche and Perona were now very anxious.
"She can change the weather in an instant…" Kurikei exhaled a puff of smoke. "The Empress of the Seas really lives up to her name, she's truly terrifying."
Perona sarcastically remarked, "You don't look scared at all!"
She hugged her head and kept repeating, "We're doomed, we're doomed!"
Kurikei placed his hand on Perona's head, comforting her, "Just trust your captain!"
"Navy?" BIG MOM, flying in the sky, was the first to spot the Navy fleet. "The Navy dares to come to my Totland?! Who gave you the guts?!"
"Hm?" Akainu, sensing BIG MOM's aura, turned to check her out.
Standing atop a dark thundercloud was the Empress of the Seas—BIG MOM!
Akainu gritted his teeth, "Damn it, we're about to catch the Dawn Pirates, and she's causing trouble now!"
At that moment, BIG MOM's gaze passed over the Navy ships and landed on the Fearless ship in the distance.
"We've caught up!" BIG MOM immediately abandoned the Navy fleet and charged toward Eric .
"Soul infusion, Napoleon the Two-Horned Hat!" Her captain's hat in her hand turned into a large sword.
"Prometheus!" The sun-shaped Homie burned while wrapping around her hair.
"Ugh!!"
BIG MOM's current appearance instantly scared the two girls on the ship.
"Emperor Sword—Break Blade!" The flame-wrapped large sword swung toward the Fearless ship.
Clang!
Two long spears and a famous sword blocked the blade, and Eric , Scáthach , and Esdeath successfully stopped BIG MOM's attack.
"!" BIG MOM couldn't believe her attack was stopped by three rookies, and in fury, she shouted, "Just three little brats, don't think you can defeat me in terms of strength!" She increased her power to try and slice them and the ship in half.
"...As expected of the monster known as BIG MOM, just the strength battle is enough to get my blood pumping!" Esdeath showed no fear. "Absolute Zero!"
The flames on Napoleon the sword visibly shrank.
"What?!"
"Zain!" The bullet that stops time struck BIG MOM during the battle of strength.
"...!" Even after being hit by Kurumi's Zain bullet, BIG MOM still managed to turn her eyes and glare at Kurumi, who had fired at her.
Kurumi curtsied, "Greetings, BIG MOM. It's truly impressive that even Zain can't completely stop your time."
BIG MOM opened her mouth, about to speak.
Eric and the others pulled their hands back, using all their strength to knock the stationary BIG MOM off Zeus.
