Chapter 195: Death
The Water Dragon Roar coiled around the Electromagnetic Cannon shell, dyeing the entire water dragon a ghostly blue light and emitting a teeth-grating sizzling sound.
"Boom!"
The Water Dragon Roar and the steel ball slammed heavily into Big Mom's chest, a massive shockwave spreading outward with Big Mom as the center.
The air wave kicked up countless dust, blowing so hard that the surrounding buildings groaned under the unbearable weight.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Big Mom still stood towering, her clothes somewhat disheveled, but no wounds could be seen on her body.
"Sealing: Golden Binding Formation!" Rasa roared, slamming his palm down toward the ground.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Countless golden sand particles surged from all directions, rapidly condensing into thick chains in the air.
The chains wrapped around Big Mom's limbs and torso like living things, while countless runes climbed along the chains, flashing with dazzling light.
"This is..." Big Mom frowned, she could feel these runes trying to seal her power.
"Hmph!"
Big Mom gave a cold snort, her arm shaking violently, and countless cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the golden chains, looking as if they were about to shatter.
"Impossible!" Rasa's pupils suddenly contracted, cold sweat sliding down his cheeks, "This is a seal capable of binding a Tailed Beast"
Onoki brought his hands together, brilliant light bursting from his eyes. The immense chakra fluctuation made the air tremble: "Yagura!"
"Understood" Yagura leaped up violently, his hands flying through hand seals: "Boar-Tiger-Snake! Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
His chest expanded rapidly, and in the next instant, a tremendous stream of water surged out from his mouth.
"Rumble!"
The water stream slammed down heavily, the entire battlefield instantly submerged by the turbulent water. Broken stones mixed with the murky water, forming a vast expanse.
"Splash!"
The murky torrent swept along with broken stones, leaving not a blade of grass where it passed; buildings in the distance trembled constantly under this terrifying water pressure, bricks and stones falling off one after another.
But Big Mom stood motionless, slowly raising her head to look at the towering wave rushing toward her, a trace of impatience flashing in her eyes: "Prometheus!"
Flames exploded suddenly, forming a huge ring of fire.
The scorching heat twisted the surrounding air, and the surging water was vaporized the moment it touched the fire ring, turning into rolling white mist rising up.
And under the cover of this white mist, Onoki had already finished his hand seals, his body hovering in midair, his entire body emitting terrifying chakra fluctuations.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!" Onoki roared.
Onoki thrust both hands forward, a square beam shooting out instantly, everything along its path decomposed into particles, a channel abruptly appearing in the misty sky.
"Mom! Be careful!" Prometheus cried out in alarm, immediately standing in front of Big Mom.
The moment the beam struck the flames, Prometheus let out a shrill scream, torn apart like paper before Dust Release, scorching sparks flying everywhere.
"Prometheus!" Big Mom's pupils suddenly contracted, but the beam was already right in front of her, impossible to avoid.
She crossed her arms in front of her body, pitch-black Armament Haki instantly covering her whole body.
"Boom!"
The moment Dust Release struck Armament Haki, the terrifying energy fluctuation made the air freeze for an instant. Black lightning burst wildly from the collision point, darting around like rampant lightning snakes.
"Mom! Smoothie and Oven and the others finally rushed to the edge of the battlefield at this moment, but the rampant black lightning blocked all approaching routes.
Wherever the lightning passed, the ground was blasted with deep pits, forcing them to retreat.
"Crack! Crack!"
A teeth-grating shattering sound suddenly rang out. In everyone's shocked gaze, the supposedly indestructible Armament Haki on Big Mom's body actually showed faint cracks.
The cracks spread at an astonishing speed, covering the entire defense in the blink of an eye. In the next instant, Armament Haki shattered with a boom.
The remaining sliver of white light tore through Big Mom's flesh and blood, instantly piercing her abdomen.
"Ah!" Big Mom let out a cry of pain, blood spurting from the huge wound in her abdomen.
However, the power of Dust Release was also exhausted in this strike, the beam gradually dissipating.
"Mom is injured?!" Perospero stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in disbelief.
"Impossible, Mom's Iron Balloon actually..." Oven's voice was trembling, he had never seen his mother suffer such serious injuries before.
And at this moment, Onoki in midair also stared wide-eyed, cold sweat seeping from his forehead: "This monster actually withstood Dust Release head-on? If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been decomposed into basic particles"
At this moment, a piercing electric current sound came from the ruins in the distance.
Kid knelt half on the ground full of rubble, his right arm remodeled into an Electromagnetic Cannon trembling violently.
Dense electric arcs jumped inside the cannon barrel, emitting a teeth-grating crackling sound.
"Almost there!" Kid's forehead seeped with bean-sized sweat beads, his muscles trembling from the high-intensity use of his ability.
"Swish!"
A figure suddenly flashed beside him; Kid glanced over, only to see Rasa's right hand seal already completed, his left hand steadily pressing on his shoulder.
"I'll help you!" Rasa said in a deep voice: "Magnet Release: Magnetic Amplification!"
Before his voice fell, surging chakra like a bursting flood surged out from within Rasa's body, continuously pouring into Kid's body through his palm.
"This power..." Kid's pupils suddenly contracted, Kid only felt a violent power surging into his whole body, the magnetic force at the cannon muzzle skyrocketing wildly, multiplying several times in a short time.
The metal on the cannon body began to turn red and bright, electric light jumping wildly on the metal surface, as if even the cannon body could hardly withstand this violent energy.
"Final strike..." Kid gritted his teeth, his whole body muscles tense, "Go to hell for me!"
"Boom!"
Electric light exploded in the cannon muzzle, a huge steel ball wrapped in thunder roaring out in a deafening roar.
Wherever the steel ball passed, the air was ionized, leaving a dazzling trail of light; the ground shattered inch by inch under this terrifying impact, and the air wave kicked up countless rubble.
"Boom!"
The steel ball slammed heavily into Big Mom's chest, instantly triggering a destructive explosion; a visible shockwave spread violently with the contact point as the center.
With Big Mom as the center, countless cracks spread like spider webs, in the blink of an eye spreading several kilometers away.
"Crack! Crack!"
The sound of the earth's layers fracturing rang out incessantly, patches of ground began to sink, smoke and dust kicked up by the air waves shrouded the entire battlefield, and electric light flickered intermittently in the dim smoke.
"Did... did we succeed?" Kid knelt on one knee, gasping for breath. That strike just now had almost drained all his strength.
As the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, everyone's pupils contracted sharply at that moment.
A huge hole appeared on Big Mom's chest, and at the scorched wound, even her writhing internal organs could be seen. Fresh blood kept gushing from the wound, staining her clothes bright red.
"An injury of this degree" Onoki stared fixedly at the scene before him, "even a Four Emperor should"
His words were not yet finished when Big Mom suddenly raised her head. Her gaze was terrifyingly cold, like an enraged ancient primordial beast.
"Soul-Soul Fruit." Big Mom slowly raised her hand, her voice low, "Grant you souls!"
Instantly, a strange fluctuation spread from within her. Everyone watched in horror as Big Mom's wounds actually began to wriggle.
Shattered bones reconnected, torn blood vessels began to heal, and even damaged internal organs were rapidly repairing.
"What a joke." Kid braced his hands on the ground and stood up with difficulty, "Our all-out attack was just nullified like that?"
"You." Big Mom's voice suddenly became ferocious, terrifying Conqueror's Haki sweeping the entire field, "Die!" Her right hand suddenly gripped the Emperor Sword, and the sword blade was instantly infused with terrifying lightning power.
Dazzling electric light jumped wildly on the blade, emitting a teeth-grating crackling sound.
"Thunder Light Cannon!"
Big Mom roared, the Emperor Sword swung forward violently. A thick bolt of lightning shot from the sword tip toward Rasa, too fast to react.
"Dodge!" Onoki shouted.
"No!" Rasa's pupils shrank suddenly, instinctively wanting to dodge, but his body had become sluggish from the exhaustion of the technique just now.
At the same time, Kid had also expended too much stamina for that shot, his legs heavy as if filled with lead, unable to move.
"Pfft!"
Lightning tore through the sky, piercing Rasa's skull in everyone's widened pupils, then piercing Kid's chest, the remaining force of the lightning undiminished, blasting two huge holes in the buildings behind them.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Rasa's body still maintained the posture of wanting to dodge, but his skull already had a huge hole, the scorched wound still sizzling, emitting blue smoke.
Kid stared with wide eyes, looking down in disbelief at the hole in his chest. Blood gushed out as if it didn't cost money, staining his coat bright red.
"Thud!"
The two bodies fell heavily onto the ground full of cracks, Rasa's Gold Dust flowing out powerlessly from his sleeve.
"This, this" Onoki's eyes were full of disbelief
As a Kage-level powerhouse who had lived from the Warring States Period to the present, he had seen too much life and death, but looking at Rasa's corpse now, his heart was nonetheless stirred by huge waves.
A Kage-level powerhouse, an existence capable of protecting a village, was now so easily erased.
Just as everyone was shocked, a sharp breaking sky sound suddenly came from the air! Big Mom's huge figure had appeared before Yakumo at some unknown time, the Emperor Sword raised high, the sword blade entwined with violent Haki
"Mom's Sudden Attack!" Big Mom bellowed.
The moment the sword edge slashed down, the air was torn by this terrifying force, emitting a piercing explosion.
"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"
Yakumo's hand seals were formed at extreme speed, a water mirror condensed from pure chakra instantly formed before him.
The mirror surface rippled, reflecting Big Mom's figure.
The next instant, the Big Mom in the mirror also raised the Emperor Sword high, slashing toward her true body!
Two sword lights crashed heavily together. Terrifying shockwaves spread outward from the collision point, and the ground was instantly lifted up a layer.
But Big Mom's strength was ultimately superior.
"Crack!"
Dense cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the water mirror, then it shattered with a crisp sound! Countless water droplets splashed in the air.
"No!" Yakumo's pupils contracted violently, cold sweat instantly burst out on his forehead.
The copy limit of the Water Body Technique skill actually could not match the opponent's strength at all!
"Die!" Big Mom's sword edge slashed through the air, straight for Yakumo's throat. The Haki entwined on the sword blade surged wildly like black flames.
"Sss!"
The Emperor Sword slashed heavily onto Yakumo's body, but transmitted an unreal sensation.
Yakumo's body suddenly twisted and deformed, exploding like a shattered water ball, turning into a pool of clear water sprinkled on the ground.
At this time, on the distant sea surface, a figure slowly emerged from the water.
Yakumo's chest heaved violently, gasping for breath. Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, his face pale as paper: "Almost... really died under that sword."
She slowly raised the Emperor Sword, the sword tip pointing at Yakumo on the sea surface: "Do you think hiding in the water makes you safe?"
Yakumo's heart tightened. As the Mizukage, he should have had the advantage at sea, but facing this monster-like woman, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
"Zeus!" Big Mom bellowed, thunderclouds instantly coming beneath her feet.
"Boom!"
Big Mom shot toward the sea surface like a shell from a cannon, Zeus turning into thunderclouds supporting her body, speed so fast it left only a lingering afterimage.
"No!" Yakumo's pupils shrank suddenly, his hands quickly forming hand seals: "Water Instant Body!"
"Splash!"
Yakumo's figure retreated rapidly wrapped in water flow, large amounts of sea water behind him kicking up white waves.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!" At the same time, Yakumo's movements did not stop, his hands forming hand seals, his expression solemn.
The sea surface suddenly boiled, a giant dragon condensed from pure chakra roared and shot into the sky.
As the water dragon coiled, several more water dragons drilled out of the sea, opening ferocious huge mouths, pouncing toward Big Mom.
"Useless!" Big Mom sneered, the three-colored light on the Emperor Sword becoming even more brilliant.
"Slash!"
Sword light flashed, and the Water Dragon was instantly split in two. Steam surged wildly high in the sky, covering the entire sky.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Onoki in midair saw that Yakura was about to be caught up to, and his gaze suddenly turned sharp.
He took a deep breath, his whole body suddenly plunged downward, diving into the depths of the seabed at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground.
"Wh-what's going on?" a noble stumbled while holding onto the wall, "Is it an earthquake?"
"No!" Perospero's face changed drastically, "The entire island is shaking!"
"Crack! Crack!"
Grating cracking sounds rang out incessantly, the cracks blasted out during Big Mom's fierce battle with everyone earlier suddenly began to expand wildly, spreading outward like spider webs.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the earth suddenly split apart. Countless rocks fell from the cracks, splashing water. The cracks grew larger and larger, soon splitting the entire Cake Island in two.
The next moment, an unbelievable scene occurred.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, half of Cake Island actually began to rise slowly! Rocks kept falling from the fractured foundation, revealing the hideous break surface below.
"Oh my god!"
"What kind of monstrous power is this!"
"The island, the island is actually flying!"
The street was in chaos, people scrambling to escape for their lives. Some buildings began to tilt due to unstable foundations, and shocking cracks appeared on the walls.
Suddenly, Big Mom noticed the light around her dimming, she frowned and looked up, her pupils contracting sharply.
Only to see a huge piece of land floating in the sky above her head, blocking out the sky and sun, dense buildings hanging upside down in midair, rocks occasionally falling and smashing into the churning sea water.
Onoki's hands were hooked onto the bottom of the island, veins bulging on his forehead. Chakra surged wildly throughout his body: "Super Light Weight Rock Technique!"
