This “piercing scream” alone would be enough to kill 80% of the pirates on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Big Mom has been “broken” by him now; she’s going to go for the kill next, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hehe, showtime!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl, the troll, happily found a prime spot to better watch the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This kind of mission is both easy and interesting; the only trouble is the travel, but it’s worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a Marine, it was none of his business if pirates beat each other’s brains out. In fact, he should applaud and wish they would fight every single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After an unknown amount of time, Big Mom’s screaming finally stopped. Her eyes turned blood-red, and her entire body radiated a terrifying aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Shanks, I want you dead!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She then leaped into the air and pursued Shanks with a fierce barrage of attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks was now in a position where he couldn’t explain himself. That person just now clearly wasn’t his subordinate; he had been framed!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Who did this good deed? Your conscience is severely lacking!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hey, Big Mom, listen to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Wait, calm down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Damn! Do you really think I’m a soft persimmon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that Big Mom had completely lost her mind and was impossible to reason with, Shanks’s “Face-Face Fruit” failed to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, he had no choice but to use another method: Fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Swish, swish, swish~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The battle between the two was filled with intersecting sword auras, producing intense clashing sounds and rolling shockwaves from time to time, causing the very earth to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl was stunned watching it. Is this what a clash between the world’s top powerhouses looks Move Move Like? Too terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks was still normal; he was far inferior to Big Mom in raw strength, but his agility was extremely high. Relying on this, he was able to keep circling with Big Mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Big Mom was different. Karl only had two words to describe her: Monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every move and style was a symbol of talent, yet these “brute force” moves, which lacked any technique, made it difficult for Shanks to parry, forcing him to avoid their edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Let these two fight it out! I’m not getting involved, but as for the rest of them... hehe~”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side, Big Mom’s core officers Move Move Like Perospero, Katakuri, and Daifuku were locked in a fierce battle with the Red Hair Pirates’ Beckman, Yasopp, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Overall, however, the Big Mom Pirates had the advantage; after all, there were more of them, and they could look out for each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adhering to the principle of helping the strong rather than the weak, Karl secretly applied buffs to Katakuri and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Bang~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beckman landed a shot on Katakuri’s head, but unfortunately, Katakuri had predicted it and avoided it via “elementalization.” Beckman made a split-second decision, extending his dark hand to punch Katakuri.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Katakuri stumbled back repeatedly. Seeing he was about to fall, he hurriedly spun his trident and braced it against the ground to steady his center of gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As expected of Shanks’s first mate, you’ve got some skill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hahaha, you’re not bad yourself! A masterpiece of the Charlotte family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Katakuri snorted coldly, but suddenly felt a strange warmth in his body. It was very comforting; the minor injuries he had sustained during the fight healed instantly, and even his strength increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This, this is...”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Katakuri hurriedly looked around. They were all his brothers and sisters, whose abilities he knew perfectly well. As for the Red Hair Pirates, it was even less likely; they wouldn’t do such a sneaky thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Who was helping him? Forget it, don’t think about it! Take down this man first!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Slashing Mochi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Katakuri turned his arm into mochi and expanded it, transforming it into the shape of a mace, combined it with Armament Haki, and after high-speed rotation, struck at Beckman Move Move Like a meteor hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The speed was extremely fast, happening in an instant. Beckman had no time to react and could only use Armament Haki to enhance his defense and block his vital areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even so, after being hit, he flew backward, crashing through several buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“How is it possible? His strength... actually increased?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This hit clearly made Beckman feel that something was wrong, but no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t have guessed that Karl was working in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn’t just Katakuri; Perospero, Smoothie, and the others also received Karl’s secret help, each of them becoming as fierce as a god of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Red Hair Pirates, who had been barely holding on, immediately fell into a disadvantage, and casualties began to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching his companions die one after another, Beckman’s expression was extremely grim. He had been very confident in holding off the Big Mom Pirates until Shanks and Big Mom decided their winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But for some reason, these people suddenly became much stronger, and their recovery speed from injuries increased significantly. They couldn’t be killed, and they couldn’t be outlasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if he could take on two at once, what about the others?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conversely, the children of the Charlotte family fought more and more smoothly. With that warm power protecting them, they weren’t afraid even if they were injured!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They quickly wiped out the grunts of the Red Hair Pirates, leaving only a few troublesome high-ranking officers who were difficult to deal with for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Shanks! There are too many of them, we can’t hold on much longer, let’s retreat!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks subconsciously wanted to turn his head to check on Beckman’s situation, but in the next second, Big Mom’s attack arrived, and Shanks had to steady his mind to deal with her assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Mama mama~ Red-haired boy, your subordinates can’t hold on much longer! As long as you join the Big Mom Pirates, I can pretend nothing ever happened!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks’s face darkened, and he didn’t speak, simply raising Gryphon and pointing it at Big Mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hmph~ then you can die here today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Mother’s Flame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Napoleon, covered in massive amounts of flames, slashed down at Shanks from above Move Move Like a falling meteor. Shanks was not afraid in the slightest, releasing all of his unreasonable Conqueror’s Haki and condensing it onto his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Conqueror’s Haki coating? A petty trick, who doesn’t know how to do that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Boom~* Big Mom’s Conqueror’s Haki also erupted instantly. The two clashed head-on, neither willing to let the other suppress them in aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Thud~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gryphon and Napoleon, one horizontal and one vertical, met blade to blade, instantly erupting with an incredibly powerful shockwave. Black and red lightning crisscrossed, enveloping the entire Whole Cake Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Ughhhhh! Go to hell! Red-haired boy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Veins bulged on Shanks’s neck, his entire body tensed Move Move Like a bowstring, and his expression looked Move Move Like that of a constipated patient finally about to let it out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c562b6d1b2818aa8c125039df441e361d4fa21cde13c27c11239b40b4a42d90d","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-123","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-121",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
