Chapter 348

It wasn't that her soul was particularly strong, but simply that over the years she had absorbed too many souls, so she never lacked "fuel."

But...

"Ah! So painful!!"

Tichi, fighting Luffy, screamed in agony—the pain was already doubled, and now it surged tenfold, becoming twenty times the original!

Even a light touch felt like a punch to an ordinary person, let alone that Luffy was fighting him in Gear Four!

Meanwhile—

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Wait! I can pay..."

"You'll all die miserable deaths!"

Screams rose one after another,

yet it was Sanji and the others of the Straw Hat Pirate Crew who had previously pretended to protect the underground members—now slaughtered by them, over seventy percent dead!

By the time the Big Mom Pirate Crew realized and rushed to save them,

The Straw Hat Pirate Crew had already used all their war drums and departed from the top floor of the castle, returning to the Golden Merry—even the stubborn Luffy chose to retreat for now.

Meanwhile,

0.9 Sakazuki and Borsalino had also pulled out their war drums and arrived aboard the Golden Merry!

Sima Di descended with Yixiao,

flying side by side with the Golden Merry, facing the main combatants of the Big Mom Pirate Crew and the Big Mom Castle, the Blackbeard Pirate Crew, and the Donquixote Family.

In an instant,

the former frontline reversed—now the Straw Hat Pirate Crew faced the combined force of Four Emperors plus two Warlords!

?????????????????

Just two more monthly votes needed!

After midnight, keeping them is useless!

92. Ten consecutive Conqueror's Haki strikes! The tenth Awakened One!

Only now was the Silent Domain shut down.

Big Mom's furious words reached their ears.

"... I truly meant to ally with you! I never expected you to be so ungrateful!"

"Pirates and Marines joining forces—you'll become the scorn of all pirates!"

"Tichi, Doflamingo, let's put our past grievances aside for now—let's kill the Straw Hat Pirate Crew together, then settle accounts later!"

Big Mom was capricious,

but she understood the situation clearly.

The combination of the Three Admirals and the Straw Hat Pirate Crew was more than the Big Mom Pirate Crew alone could handle.

If they now also faced Blackbeard and Doflamingo, the Big Mom Pirate Crew might truly become history.

Facing Big Mom's invitation,

Tichi answered without hesitation: "Hehehe—no problem! But the Devil Slayer's corpse must be handed over to me!"

He was still coveting Sima Di's "Word Soul Fruit."

—If Tichi knew Sima Di had no Devil Fruit ability at all, would he rage until he spat blood?

"Fufufufu—I never thought you'd use my Birdcage so skillfully, Devil Slayer," Doflamingo mocked.

Sima Di had used the Birdcage twice,

both times to trap Doflamingo himself—the creator of the technique, Doflamingo couldn't have felt more agonized.

And yet...

Among the six factions present,

Doflamingo himself was only slightly stronger than the underworld folk—still among the weakest.

However...

Sima Di paid them no heed; his response was...

"What is filial piety?"

"What is love?"

"Do you know the greatness of maternal love?"

The blazing golden light in Sima Di's eyes caused Doflamingo, who knew him best, to turn pale!

"Quick! Close your..."

"Appraisal Technique!!!"

Brilliant golden light erupted, blinding as a second sun!

Except for Doflamingo's group, who reacted quickly, and a few others who were cautious,

even Big Mom herself was bathed in the golden light.

Then...

Eighty percent of those struck swelled like balloons, followed by waves of labor-like pain.

"Ssshh—"

"What is this?!"

"Pain pain pain pain!"

"Aaaahhhhh!"

"Am I about to give birth again?"

The scene descended into utter chaos!

Sima Di directly crippled more than half of their fighting strength.

As for the rest......

"Everyone, let's clear the field!" Sima Di laughed as he landed on the ship's bow.

The Straw Hat Pirates instantly understood what Sima Di meant.

"Oh? Going to use that move?" Usopp, clad in the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, stepped forward, eager to try.

"Yo, then bring it on!" Zoro's lips curled up, and he too stood shoulder to shoulder at the bow.

"If... this... is Lord Sima's request... I'll do my best!" Bai Xing stepped out timidly.

"Lord Sima!"

Then......

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

A full nine auras of Conqueror's Haki surged into the sky!

Let alone the enemies like Big Mom and the others......

Even their own allies—the three Marine Admirals, Cat Viper Shopkeeper, Duke Inuarashi, and the others—now wore expressions as though they had seen a ghost!

What the hell?

The Straw Hat Pirates' team of barely twenty people actually has nine people with Conqueror's Haki?

What the hell......
