"It was you who killed Charlotte Conte, wasn't it!"
Just then, two angry voices rang out, and then two figures who looked somewhat similar to the Charlotte Conte who had been defeated earlier jumped out furiously.
They were Conte and Opera's younger brothers, Charlotte Cadenza and Charlotte Cavalet.
"Hey, Cadenza, Cavalet, don't be rash! You are no match for that guy!"
Before Opera could finish speaking, the two brothers directly covered their arms with Armament Haki, and then ordered the surrounding surviving Homie Soldiers to attack Nicholas.
For these Homies, the priority of orders from Charlotte Family children was only below Charlotte Linlin.
Therefore, for a time, the Homies, under the Pressure of Charlotte Linlin, rushed towards Nicholas, vying to be first.
Nicholas, under siege, did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he continued to size up Opera, who was standing outside the battle circle. After all, examples of Paramecia Awakening failures were very rare.
Nicholas looked at Opera calmly.
Then, Lightning Clones instantly appeared beside him and quickly rushed towards the enemy, engaging in battle with the Chess Soldiers of Cream Island, as well as Charlotte Cadenza and Charlotte Cavalet.
In an instant, a chaotic battle broke out.
However, even as the Lightning Clones fought with the Chess Soldiers, Nicholas slowly walked towards Opera's direction.
By the time he arrived in front of Opera, the battle between the Lightning Clones and the remaining forces on Fresh Cream Island was basically over.
Alone, facing Nicholas and the numerous Lightning Clones around him, even Opera, who possessed the Paramecia Cream Fruit Ability and had almost succeeded in Awakening, couldn't last even five seconds before collapsing to the ground with serious injuries.
"Is it over already?"
Nicholas frowned as he looked at Opera, who was lying on the ground, unable to move.
After all, this was different from what he had expected. You should know that with Zoan-type Devil Fruit, although they lose consciousness after Awakening failure, their Physical Prowess and recovery ability are almost no different from the Awakened State.
So, although Opera, who had failed Paramecia Awakening, could also use Paramecia Awakening to affect the surrounding Matter, his Combat Power was really too poor.
Although he could create a large amount of Fresh Cream, causing opponents who touched the Fresh Cream to become scorched due to skin sugaring, and also have the effect of burning the skin.
But compared to Katakuri's Mochi Mochi Fruit Awakening, the Gap is a bit too big.
Although Opera was seriously injured, he did not lose consciousness, and could only glare angrily at Nicholas, who was sizing him up, feeling deeply Disgrace.
A few minutes later.
Nicholas held a Devil Fruit in his hand that looked like a Cream Puff.
And on Cream Island, there were three corpses that looked similar.
Seemingly because the Devil Fruit had been Extraction, Opera, who had originally been like a Monster, had actually returned to a Normal Manner.
On the Sea Surface in the central area of the Totto Land Sea Area.
An Officer-Class Ship flying the BIGMOM Pirate Flag was sailing through the Sea.
On the Deck of the Ship, Perospero held a Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"In such a short Time, Cocoa Island and Thick Island have been successively captured..."
"Opera and his four Brothers are all Death in Battle..."
"Nicholas's mobility is really troublesome."
"Damn Nicholas, if we continue to let him go on like this, Totto Land will really be in danger!"
Perospero listened to the Den Den Mushi, his face gloomy, and gritted his teeth and said, "If that guy doesn't fight us head-on, but instead carries out a strategy of eliminating us one by one, we, whose Military Strength is distributed on each Island, will become passive instead!"
"So what do you want to do? Perospero?"
Katakuri's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
With the Island distribution of Totto Land, it is naturally impossible to concentrate all Military Strength together.
Leaving aside the Cake Scout Ships patrolling the Sea Area.
Each Island must have a garrison force stationed to maintain the Island's security.
Therefore, the diversion of Military Strength is unavoidable.
However, relying on the Alert Network set up in the Sea Area, composed of a large number of Den Den Mushi and patrol Reconnaissance Ships, it is entirely possible to mobilize Military Strength at the first Time when an Enemy is detected to meet the invaders.
But now Nicholas's terrifying mobility has indeed perfectly countered Totto Land's Alert Network.
And those forces scattered on various Islands are obviously no match for Nicholas.
Faced with a terrifying Weapon like Nicholas, even within Totto Land, the BIGMOM Pirates are finding it difficult to target him.
Faced with Katakuri's question, Perospero fell into Silence for a Time.
"Pururu—Pururu—"
Just then, another Den Den Mushi on Perospero suddenly rang.
The instant he heard the Sound, Perospero quickly answered the Den Den Mushi.
"Lord Perospero, it's bad, Almond Island in the southwest area has also been captured by Nicholas, and the armed forces stationed on Almond Island have been completely annihilated!!!"
"What!? He just attacked Thick Island a few minutes ago..."
Perospero looked shocked, turned sideways abruptly, and looked in the direction of Almond Island.
In less than ten minutes, Nicholas had successively captured Cocoa Island, Thick Island, and with terrifyingly fast efficiency, directly captured Almond Island!
If Nicholas is allowed to continue...
All Islands in the Totto Land Sea Area, except for Cake Island, are very likely to be completely destroyed!
Thinking of this, Perospero couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Damn Nicholas..."
"This guy is simply the most troublesome Enemy in the history of Totto Land!!!"
Obviously, even when he fought Whitebeard in the past, Perospero had never gritted his teeth like this.
After all, although Whitebeard was powerful, at least he could be confronted head-on.
How could Nicholas be like this, firing a shot and changing Place, and yet his Strength is terrifying.
Isn't this bullying people!
Within ten minutes.
Cocoa Island, Thick Island, Almond Island.
A total of three Islands were captured by Nicholas.
Or more accurately—
Destroyed!
Completely destroy the entire Island!
For Totto Land, this is not only an unprecedentedly serious situation, but it can also be said to be the greatest loss suffered since the founding of the Kingdom.
And this Degree of loss may only be the beginning.
"It's simply a Disaster..."
The Crew Members of the Big Mom Pirates, after successively receiving the News that the third Island had been captured, felt the same way in their hearts.
"Everyone, all head to the outer Sea Area of Cake Island!"
Just as these People were thinking about the Terror of Nicholas in their minds, Perospero's resolute voice suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi.
"Older Brother Perospero, go to the outer Sea Area of Cake Island? What about the other Islands?"
Cracker Minister, Charlotte Broye, couldn't help but ask.
You must know that Mama's—Totto Land.
It is based on the 34 Islands within its jurisdiction as its Foundation.
In this Sea Area, 34 Islands are scattered like stars, and the Distance between each other is not far, echoing each other.
A geographical location like this that can perfectly achieve Mama's Dream is simply impossible to find a second one in the entire New World.
So, if Nicholas is allowed to continue to destroy the Islands within the Kingdom's jurisdiction, it means...
Mama's Dream will be shattered, and once Mama learns that they have abandoned these Islands, then...
The consequences of this Thing are chilling to the bone and make the many Crew Members of the Pirate Crew feel cold all over just by imagining it.
The situation... is more severe than expected.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 301: Approaching
"Other Islands, abandon them for now! I'll take responsibility with Big Mom later!"
Perospero said through gritted teeth, clearly making the decision to abandon other Islands at great risk.
If Big Mom was willing to listen to his explanation, it might be okay, and he might be able to save his life. If Big Mom directly refused to listen to his explanation, then the outcome waiting for him would only be Death.
Hearing Perospero's words, the other end of the Den Den Mushi went completely silent.
"Reason!"
On a certain Main Battleship, Cracker, a Main Force of the Big Mom Pirates, asked directly into the Den Den Mushi with sharp eyes.
As for Cracker's tone, the others were already used to it. After all, although Perospero was the eldest among the brothers and sisters, his Strength wasn't even in the top five. In the Pirate World where strength is respected, Seniority is not as realistic as Strength.
And this was also the reason why Perospero was willing to take great Risk to make this decision, because as long as Charlotte Linlin valued him, the opinions of other brothers and sisters were not important.
"Judging from Nicholas's actions, Nicholas clearly doesn't want to directly clash with us before causing enough destruction to Totto Land.
With the Power of other Islands, facing Nicholas, there is simply no Resistance. Moreover, with our Speed, we cannot catch up with Nicholas. Even if we could catch up with the opponent, if Nicholas wants to leave, who among us can stop him?
So instead of being led by the nose by the opponent like this, it's better to go directly to Cake Island Outer Sea and wait for Nicholas to walk right into our trap!
Moreover, for us, as long as the Island hasn't sunk, rebuilding new Towns on those Ruins is just a matter of spending a little more Stamina and Time."
Perospero stared into the distance with gloomy Eyes.
Hearing Perospero's Words, the people on the other end of the Den Den Mushi also fell into Silence, because Perospero was right. In terms of Mobility, they were not Nicholas's Opponent, and in terms of Strength, it went without saying.
Instead of running around aimlessly in the Totto Land Sea Area like this, it's better to go directly to Cake Island Outer Sea to set up an Encirclement.
After all, if Nicholas wants Retaliation, then he will definitely have a decisive battle with Big Mom on Cake Island.
"By the way, Katakuri, if Brulee has any news of Nicholas's Whereabouts, remember to inform other Islands in advance so they can prepare for Evacuation!"
Perospero's voice, obviously suppressing anger, came from the Den Den Mushi.
"Understood... As long as the opponent is still within the 'Totto Land' range, with Brulee's Ability, she will definitely be able to find him, but it's uncertain whether there will be enough Time to warn those targeted Islands."
Katakuri habitually raised the white scarf covering his mouth with his hand, and said expressionlessly, "After all, that guy's Strength is such that he can launch an attack on an Island almost the moment Brulee discovers him."
"..."
Katakuri looked at the Den Den Mushi, which was somewhat similar to Perospero, and was silent for a moment.
Then he looked up at the Sky, Red Light flashing in his Eyes.
He used Observation Haki, attempting to find Nicholas's Figure within the Field of Vision visible to the naked eye.
But this was obviously not an easy Thing.
The Red Light in Katakuri's Eyes only lasted for a few seconds before slowly disappearing.
Armament Haki or Observation Haki, as long as they are used, there will be consumption.
Even for him, who had cultivated Observation Haki to the point of being able to foresee the Future, it was impossible to maintain high-intensity Observation Haki at all Times.
If he put a lot of Energy into searching for the Enemy's Trace, and then suddenly encountered the Enemy due to overuse of Observation Haki, it would be a bit awkward.
Above the High Sky.
Nicholas was traveling through the White Clouds, and behind him was a group of Giant crows.
That was Karas, the 'Crow' and Commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army. At this time, Karas was holding the Devil Fruit taken from Charlotte Opera, looking at Nicholas in front of him with a Complexion.
Although he didn't know what Agreement Dragon had reached with the other party, judging from the current situation, the Shady Deal between the two was really not simple.
"Lord Nicholas, are we really going to attack all the Affiliated Island of Totto Land one by one?"
Karas finally couldn't help but ask.
Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease taking this Devil Fruit.
Nicholas's Figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already on the back of the Crow Karas was riding.
"Yeah, since we're going to war, of course we have to do it ruthlessly. But don't worry, I haven't sunk those Islands. When your Revolutionary Army takes over, it will still be easy to rebuild."
Nicholas said casually.
And Karas's Complexion suddenly changed, obviously Nicholas casually revealed something extraordinary.
"Bururu--Bururu--"
Just as Karas was about to continue asking something, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.
"This is Karas, what are your Instructions?"
Looking at the Den Den Mushi, Karas said in a deep voice.
"Karas, is Nicholas by your Side?"
Dragon's voice suddenly sounded.
Nicholas tilted his head to look at him, and Karas also opened his mouth to reply, "Yes, Dragon."
"Then give the Den Den Mushi to Nicholas."
Then Nicholas took the Den Den Mushi from Karas's hand.
"What's up, Dragon?"
Nicholas said with a smile.
"Kaido planned to attack White Dance after you left, but I stopped him."
"Hmm, thanks."
Nicholas nodded.
"Also, I paid attention to the person you asked me to pay attention to. I can confirm that the 'Guests' you mentioned who came from eight hundred years ago are indeed Paramecia-type Time Fruit Ability User. She seems to have sent that Momonosuke, who lost his fertility, and several Retainer to the Future."
"Okay, I got it."
Nicholas didn't care much about those Remnant of the Kozuki Family. After all, if the Prophecy was really as mysterious as it was said, then did they foresee their own Death?
Placing Hope on illusory Prophecy is inherently ridiculous.
"Fourth Island."
After ending the Phone Call with Dragon, Nicholas lowered his head to look down. In his Field of Vision, an Island appeared.
That was Ice Island, governed by Moscato, the Snowman-shaped Ice Cream Minister.
Just like the landmark Architecture on other Islands, the landmark Architecture on Ice Island is a highly recognizable Snowman-shaped Ice Cream placed in a Giant Cup and Saucer, located in the very center of Ice Island.
Nicholas looked down at the Snowman-shaped Ice Cream in the center of Ice Island, a hint of playfulness showing in his Eyes.
With Cake Island as the central point, the numerous Ships radiating out in all directions still hadn't discovered Nicholas's Trace.
But it wasn't without any gains.
They had successively received Intelligence that four Islands, including Ice Island and Liqueur Island, had been attacked by Nicholas.
While the Big Mom Pirates were waiting for Nicholas, the News of Potato Island's fall was transmitted to every Ship through the Signal of the Den Den Mushi.
This was already the eighth Island destroyed by the Nicholas Pirates.
However, Nicholas's Trace was getting closer and closer to Cake Island.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 302: Totto Land's Response
In less than an hour, the Big Mom Pirates had suffered unprecedented losses.
Even when they fought the Whitebeard Pirates before, Totto Land had never been this disheveled.
Back then, the Whitebeard Pirates, relying on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability, effortlessly destroyed many Islands within Totto Land's territory.
And this record still has the trend of being further refreshed in Nicholas's hands.
Before being found, Nicholas had no intention of stopping.
On the other hand, the Big Mom Pirates, due to the fall of several Islands within Totto Land, many Officers had accumulated anger with nowhere to vent, and also a trace of fear.
And this trace of fear reached its peak when the Queen Mama Chanter appeared.
As for Charlotte Linlin standing on the Deck of the Queen Mama Chanter, there's even less need to say anything at this moment.
That ferocious face filled with chilling Killing Intent, and the enormous Form constantly emitting a terrifying Presence, all demonstrated Big Mom's Mood at this moment.
It could be said that apart from Katakuri, Smoothie, and a few others, the cold sweat on the foreheads of the other Charlotte Family members flowed uncontrollably, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
The Presence emanating from Big Mom, which seemed to repel Living Person, caused cold sweat to quietly seep out of the Forehead of Perospero, the eldest son.
But at the same time, there was also a bit of relief, at least Mom was in a clear State at this moment, and he wouldn't even be denied the Opportunity to explain.
So much so that he was hesitating whether or not to reveal his Plan.
When he noticed Big Mom's Gaze sweeping over, knowing that he couldn't continue like this, Perospero finally mustered his Courage.
He walked very laboriously In front of Charlotte Linlin, and said cautiously:
"Big Mom, currently that Nicholas Weapon doesn't engage us in direct Battle at all, and with our mobility, we can't catch up to Nicholas at all, so I gathered everyone to the Cake Island Outer Sea, as long as that Weapon wants to start a Battle with Totto Land, he will definitely come here.
And Mom, rest assured, I have already notified the Tart Ships in the Whole Cake Island Sea Area to safely transfer the Totto Land Subjects on various Islands.
The Soul Lifespan for the second half of the year will definitely not have problems."
"..."
Big Mom, hearing this, her extremely oppressive Gaze, slowly swept towards Perospero.
In this instant, Perospero subconsciously tensed his Body, his Heart beating rapidly.
At the same time, he desperately restrained the Fear in his Inner Thoughts, because he knew that in front of Mom, as long as he showed a Look of Fear, it would be over.
Although Big Mom is very capricious, and she is very angry that Totto Land Kingdom has been wantonly destroyed by Nicholas and that her Subordinates Perospero and these children are inactive.
But in reality, she will not kill Perospero, or even any of these children.
In her view, the Situation on the Grand Line has become increasingly unpredictable, and she needs perfect Works like Katakuri to emerge again from the Charlotte Family's children.
Therefore, as long as her children show their Value, Big Mom naturally doesn't mind giving them certain preferential treatment, and even in a state of rage, she will choose a certain degree of restraint.
As for children without Value, then if they die, they die.
And although Perospero's Operation Plan can be said to be the best response, for Big Mom, it is equivalent to making her actively abandon all Islands in Totto Land except Cake Island, which makes her feel quite unhappy no matter what.
But this is also a helpless decision.
After all, no one could have expected...
The powerful Nicholas would actually be like a petty gangster, not engaging them in direct Battle, but instead bullying those Weakness, pitiful, and helpless Islands everywhere in the Whole Cake Island Sea Area.
This led to—
The Big Mom Pirates' intercept ships, which could always rush to the scene in time in the past, simply couldn't keep up with Nicholas's Speed of conquering Islands.
What's even more uncomfortable is that every Island distributed within Totto Land, which were originally supposed to support each other, now seemed like fat Pigs waiting for the Butcher to choose.
Big Mom stared silently at Perospero, who had finished speaking his Operation Plan, her Eyes extremely terrifying, looking like a Ferocious Beast ready to devour people.
This woman who has stood tall in the New World for decades, in terms of Personality, is sometimes like a capricious child.
Sometimes blindly foolish, sometimes extremely shrewd.
Sometimes she wouldn't even listen to her own children, and would even unhesitatingly take away their Soul Lifespan, but sometimes she would be willing to bestow that little Pity to her Subordinates and accept their pleas.
At this moment.
This Monster-like woman, who made her own children extremely fearful, while staring silently at Perospero, also began to consider the feasibility of Perospero's Plan.
And when she was willing to consider it, subconsciously, she had almost made a decision.
In the end...
It was still because of Nicholas's Strength that allowed her, even in anger, to maintain her rationality.
"Then prepare to meet the enemy."
After a moment, Charlotte Linlin said expressionlessly.
Seeing Big Mom's Words, Perospero immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he came back to his senses, his back was already soaked with sweat.
When facing Mom in an abnormal Emotion, even if he was the eldest son in the Family, if he was careless and Offend Mom, he would probably have his Lifespan extracted on the spot by Mom...
Sometimes, that is, when Charlotte Linlin is in a happy Mood, one can feel a trace of Family Bonds.
But when facing Big Mom in an abnormal Emotion, one cannot feel the Family Bonds that exists in the Bloodline at all, and even because of Fear, that trace of Family Bonds bestowed when she was in a happy Mood also vanished.
Like walking on thin Ice, it was most appropriate to describe his Situation just now.
"Move faster!"
Perospero glanced at the Crew member closest to him, constantly urging them aloud.
Obviously, he needed to make Big Mom understand that he had Value.
And hearing Perospero's urging, the Crew members also shuddered, and thinking of Perospero's Pervert behavior of turning Living Person into Candy, they immediately used their fastest Speed in their Life, and began to get busy.
"Brulee."
Big Mom called out Brulee's name towards the giant Mirror carried by the Crew members.
Under the effect of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit Ability, Mirrors can not only communicate with each other between the Mirror World, but also transmit Sound and items.
It can be said that Brulee's Ability is quite important in the Charlotte Family, not only can she be responsible for item delivery, but also transport a large number of troops and monitor all movements of the entire Totto Land Kingdom.
As long as there is a Mirror in the Place where the Sound rings, Brulee, who is in the Mirror World, can receive the Sound.
"Mom, I'm here."
A second or two later, Brulee's Voice came from the Mirror.
Charlotte Linlin, looking at Brulee appearing in the Mirror, then said in a deep voice: "Once there is a Trace of that Nicholas Weapon, report immediately."
"Understood, Mom."
After Brulee answered, her Form slowly disappeared into the Mirror.
"Mama mama..."
Charlotte Linlin, sitting upright on the Throne, looking at the gradually changing celestial phenomena in the distance, as if she had already seen Nicholas's miserable end, couldn't help but let out a chilling Laughter.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 303: Numerical Advantage
Cake Island.
As the name suggests, the island is dotted with majestic buildings that look exactly like cakes.
And the largest Cake Castle located in the very center of the Island is Charlotte Linlin's base of operations.
"Ara ara, a storm is coming."
Karas, sitting on the back of a crow, couldn't help but say as he watched the massive storm clouds rapidly approaching from the Horizon.
"Indeed, a storm is coming."
Nicholas put his hands in his pockets, slightly raised his head, and looked at the rapidly approaching thunderstorm in the distance. It could be said that checking the weather forecast before going out is a very good habit.
Accompanied by increasingly strong Gale, the huge candle inserted on the top of the Cake Island.
The Firelight swaying in the wind seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
"What a grand welcoming ceremony, but I wonder if the welcome will turn into a funeral."
Through the information fed back by Advanced Observation Haki, Nicholas could clearly 'see' Cake Island and the Surrounding Sea Area under his feet, gathering a large amount of Military Strength, and among them, there were several powerful Auras.
This is the unique style of the Big Mom Pirates. In terms of manufacturing low-level Military Strength, they can almost be said to be mass-produced. As long as Charlotte Linlin is present and has enough Soul Lifespan, they can have as many Soldiers as they want.
However, while the number of Soldiers is considerable, their individual Strength is not that great.
Of course, this Strength is in comparison to Powerful Figures. If compared to ordinary Pirates, these Homie Soldiers can almost crush them.
"Let's say hello first."
After thinking for a few seconds, Nicholas made a decision.
He directly levitated in the Sky, raising his right palm high.
With his Action, countless Lightning began to condense in his palm, and turned into a Lightning ball that continuously expanded in volume.
In just a few seconds, a huge Lightning ball, almost one-third the volume of Cake Island, appeared in the Sky, and the silver Radiance illuminated the world, just like a silver Sun.
"Thunder Greeting!"
Accompanied by Nicholas's soft voice.
A majestic Pressure emanated from Nicholas's palm, and accompanied by the fall of the huge Lightning ball, it rapidly spread towards Cake Island and the surrounding area.
Wherever the Lightning ball went, everything was annihilated.
The candle standing on the top of Cake Castle on Cake Island was hit by the Electric Arc dancing outside Thunder Greeting.
The candle, along with the swaying Candlelight on it, was instantly turned into Dust.
Creak, creak—
In less than a second or two, the entire top floor of Cake Castle on Cake Island,
disappeared.
And Thunder Greeting, filled with Terror Pressure, continued unabated, like a Divine Punishment descending from the Sky, shrouding the entire Cake Island from top to bottom.
At this rate, it would probably take less than five seconds to completely destroy the entire Cake Castle and the surrounding Architecture.
The sudden situation shocked the Pirate Crew Members staying in Cake Castle and the Soldiers around Cake Island.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Someone's loud voice sent a roar-like Sound to the surroundings.
The Big Mom Pirates, who were originally ambushing in the Sea Area around Cake Island, noticed something was wrong almost as soon as Thunder Greeting appeared.
On the Deck of one of the Ships, stood many Biscuit Soldiers created by Cracker's Ability.
In the very center, several sofas made of Biscuit were placed.
Charlotte Cracker was sitting on a Sofa at this time.
Mondor, the Book-Book Ability user holding a Book, was also sitting next to him.
When they heard the Alarm, Cracker and Mondor looked towards the Sky above Cake Island almost at the same Time. When they saw Thunder Greeting, which was comparable to Divine Punishment, surprise appeared in their Eyes at the same Time.
"What a terrifying Weapon, but I wonder if Mama is a match for this Weapon, what do you think, Mondor?"
Cracker said, looking at Mondor beside him.
On the other hand, Mondor, when he saw Thunder Greeting, subconsciously tightened his grip on the Book in his hand.
This Book not only stores Rare Beasts collected by Charlotte Linlin over decades, but also houses the Wealth plundered by the Charlotte Family over the years in the treasure room in the Book.
"Even if that Weapon is Strongest, he's just one person..."
Mondor, with slender limbs, a slightly stout abdomen, golden hair spreading outwards, wearing a deep-colored jumpsuit with an open chest, a skeleton pattern on his limbs and behind his ribs, and a deep-colored Top Hat on his head, said subconsciously.
Cracker, who had a beard and a rough appearance that was somewhat incongruous, also drew out the Sword at his Waist and took out a Shield.
"Yes, even if that Weapon is Strongest, he is just one person. But... very Strongest!"
"Yes, very Strongest!"
Mondor nodded in agreement with Cracker's statement.
"To dare to come alone... Mama?!"
Perospero's Words stopped abruptly halfway through, and then in his Line of Sight, Charlotte Linlin, holding a giant Napoleon, rode Prometheus and flew rapidly towards Cake Island.
Obviously, Charlotte Linlin could accept the destruction of other Islands in Totto Land, but she could not accept the destruction of Cake Island.
"Nicholas!"
Looking at the Figure in the Sky, Charlotte Linlin roared angrily.
At the same Time, she held Napoleon in both hands and directly used a Full Power Strike to split Thunder Greeting, which was about to fall on Cake Island, in half.
Looking at Charlotte Linlin, who was filled with Fury, a solemn look appeared on Nicholas's Face.
No matter how Charlotte Linlin wasted her Talent, one point that cannot be denied is that she relied on her Talent to become one of the top Powerful Figures on the Grand Line.
Looking at Charlotte Linlin confronting Nicholas, Cracker turned his head to look at Mondor, whose Face was slightly pale, and said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Mondor, quickly send News to the others and let them quickly go to Cake Island through Brulee's Mirror World to Support Mama."
Although he was very confident in Charlotte Linlin's Strength, but...
Cracker did not think that Mama alone could defeat Nicholas in a head-on Battle.
What Mama can do is Restrain Nicholas.
"Understood."
Mondor took out the Den Den Mushi without even thinking, and dialed the Den Den Mushi of other Brothers.
Facing Nicholas, even if they are the notorious Charlotte Family on the Grand Line, they are not arrogant at all, but they are not panicked either.
After all, this is in Totto Land, within their Territory, they occupy a significant Advantage, not only the large number of Homie Soldiers, powerful Armament Ships that can quickly Support everywhere, but also Brulee's Mirror-Mirror Fruit Ability that can dispatch Military Strength in a short Time.
In other Words—
As long as Mama can hold back Nicholas, and then wait for reinforcements to come from the Mirror World.
At that Time, Nicholas will face a terrifying number of Enemies.
A second or two later.
The Den Den Mushi connected.
Mondor looked at the Den Den Mushi that opened its Eyes, and went straight to the point: "Big Brother Perospero, let Brulee open the Mirror World..."
A moment later, the Gate of Cake Castle was pushed open, and then the children of the Charlotte Family appeared on Cake Island with a large number of Soldiers.
"Ara ara, so many People. Linlin, your Fat Meat has not only changed your once beautiful figure, but also changed your brain. For guys like us, does the number of People matter?"
Looking at the crowd rushing towards this side, Nicholas said with a smile.
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Charlotte Linlin sneered twice. Indeed, for Powerful Figures of their level, the tactics of human wave warfare are indeed not very meaningful, but what if there are Existences in this human wave that can pose a Threat to Monsters of their level?
Almost with Charlotte Linlin's Laughter, the two were surrounded by hundreds of Biscuit Soldiers created by Cracker who arrived first.
And the greatswords of these Biscuit Soldiers were all covered with Armament Haki, obviously having Haki already qualified them to have a slight impact on the direction of the Battlefield.
And with the continuous influx of Charlotte Family children and Big Mom Pirates Members.
The already tense atmosphere suddenly became more tense.
Nicholas calmly glanced at the Biscuit Soldiers around him who looked exactly the same.
This is obviously a Creation Ability of the Paramecia Type.
Subsequently, the Main Force of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Oven and others also appeared around.
Looking at Nicholas in the Sky, everyone did not dare to be careless, Red Light flashed in their Eyes, and Armament Haki quickly wrapped around them at the same Time.
The Battle had not yet begun, and they decisively used Observation Haki and Armament Haki to prepare for Battle.
Such cautious behavior is also due to the fear of Nicholas's Strength.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 304: Lightning's Temperature
The Big Mom Pirates are a family force built on family ties and blood relations at its core.
To build this enormous family that Charlotte Linlin envisioned would help her achieve her dream, Charlotte Linlin spent most of her life giving birth to children.
Although she gave birth to a total of 39 daughters and 46 sons in her lifetime, less than twenty of her children truly inherited her powerful bloodline.
And among them, only eight family members stood out and could be called the main Combat Power.
These eight main Combat Power are—
First Son, Candy Minister Charlotte Perospero, a Paramecia-type Lick-Lick Devil Fruit Ability User.
First Daughter, Fruit Minister Charlotte Comport, inherited Charlotte Linlin's Monstrous Strength and iron skin to some extent, or rather, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a low-spec version of Charlotte Linlin.
Second Son, Flour Minister Charlotte Katakuri, is the most outstanding among these children, a Paramecia-type Mochi-Mochi Devil Fruit Ability User who has achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, and possesses Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.
Third Son, Bean Minister Charlotte Daifuku, a Paramecia-type Genie-Genie Fruit Ability User, who has Development a Demon Person, although it can't grant wishes.
Fourth Son, Baking Minister Charlotte Oven, a Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Fruit Ability User, known in the world as a human-shaped rapid heater.
Tenth Son, Biscuit Minister Charlotte Cracker, a Paramecia-type Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit Ability User, who has also played it to the extreme.
Fourteenth Daughter, Fruit Juice Minister Charlotte Smoothie, a Paramecia-type Wring-Wring Fruit Ability User, a veritable juice-squeezing princess, with silver hair, big breasts, and long legs as bonus points.
And the twenty-fifth son, Fried Food Minister Charlotte Snack, who is still a little fart at this time.
It can be said that almost all the Combat Power of the Big Mom Pirates that can be put on the table have participated in the encirclement Operation Plan against Nicholas.
Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Fruit Ability User Oven glanced at Charlotte Linlin, who was in a Stand-off with Nicholas, and then at the brothers and sisters around him, and felt much more at ease. This time, he didn't need anyone to hold him back.
He strode directly to the front of the group and glanced coldly at Nicholas.
"Nicholas, you are dead today!"
Oven, who has always been hot-tempered, directly issued a Death threat to Nicholas.
*Chichii—*
As his Words fell, Oven's Body suddenly turned as red as a hot iron, making a slight sound similar to water encountering high temperatures and producing water vapor.
Almost immediately, everyone subconsciously moved away from Oven, who was emitting terrifying high temperatures, to avoid being burned.
"Rough Earth!"
Then, Oven directly jumped up and stretched out his hands, emitting astonishing high temperatures, to grab Nicholas.
The heat continuously released from his hands even made the Air around him somewhat distorted.
"If we're talking about 'true Strength', I'm definitely not as good as you..."
Oven looked up at Nicholas, who was constantly approaching, while trying his best to activate his Fruit to emit high temperatures.
"But before you blow me away, at least I can still manage to consume your Stamina!"
Accompanied by Oven's Roar, seemingly endless heat, under Oven's mental control, gushed out from his Body.
Nicholas looked calmly at Oven, who was releasing heat.
Then, in a flash of his Figure, before Oven could React, he appeared In front of Oven and directly reached out and grabbed his Face.
Then, in Oven's somewhat bewildered Eyes, he slowly opened his mouth and said.
"Rapid heater, when it comes to high temperatures, Lightning's temperature is also very terrifying! The temperature of Lightning ranges from 17,000 to 28,000 degrees Celsius, which is equal to 3-5 times the surface temperature of the Sun. So..."
Along with Nicholas's Words, Nicholas's Palm holding Oven's Face turned into Lightning, and then dazzling white light appeared between the two.
At that moment, many people in the Big Mom Pirates thought they saw light.
And Oven felt like he had become light in that instant!
As the bright light disappeared, a Figure with smoke rising from his Whole Body weakly fell from the Sky, and it was Oven with his eyes rolled back and a terrifying Palm print on his Face.
"Oh, did his Devil Fruit Ability prevent his Brain from being burned dry?"
Watching the fallen Oven, Nicholas dodged a series of Attacks and muttered to Oneself.
And almost at the same Time, a Figure quickly jumped up, caught Oven, and directly threw him into the Mirror.
In the Mirror World, Brulee and the Charlotte Family's emergency medical team were already on standby there.
"Truly worthy of being the Charlotte Family's good Older Brother, Katakuri."
Looking at Katakuri, who landed not far away, Nicholas slowly opened his mouth and said.
"Lick-Lick~~~!"
Perospero glanced at Nicholas in the Sky, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his Forehead. The Strength the opponent showed was really too exaggerated.
Oven, whose Combat Power in the Charlotte Family is enough to rank in the top ten, was actually defeated in a Face-to-face encounter.
This made Perospero realize again the Gap between them and the Top-Tier Combat Power on the Grand Line, and at the same time, he began to doubt whether the Charlotte Family could really complete the encirclement and suppression of Nicholas.
Facing the terrifying Nicholas, the talkative Perospero couldn't even utter his usual endless nonsense.
After all, talking nonsense to opponents who are weaker than oneself or of comparable Strength can be regarded as a means of mental Attack, but talking nonsense to guys who are much stronger than oneself is very likely to get targeted.
"Mama, retreat first! Deal with that Weapon according to the Operation Plan!"
Perospero shouted loudly at Charlotte Linlin.
And Charlotte Linlin also directly left the battle circle and stared at Nicholas from a distance.
"It's our turn to go..."
Genie-Genie Fruit Ability User Charlotte Daifuku folded his arms and looked at the Enemy in the Sky, saying in a deep voice:
"Even that Weapon Oven was taken out. I don't think we are that Weapon's Opponent, I just don't know... how much Stamina we can consume from that Weapon."
"Daifuku, survival first, let the Homies go to die."
The burly First Daughter Comport, wearing a transparent bowl filled with various Fruits on her head and resembling her mother in appearance, showed a kind smile when she heard this.
"That's right, we need to use those 'trash' to create opportunities for Attack. Our main Mission is to deplete that Weapon's Stamina."
After speaking, Katakuri looked at Nicholas in the Sky.
Although he knew this Operation was dirty, facing Nicholas, if they wanted to take him down, they could only use such dirty means.
"Then let's take Action, don't let Mama wait anxiously, otherwise, something Accident might happen."
The Charlotte Family members couldn't help but feel terrified when they thought of the possible consequences of Charlotte Linlin losing her mind.
Perospero raised his Candy Cane, pointed it at Nicholas in the field, and sneered:
"In short, we must make good use of our 'Military Strength' Advantage to quickly deplete Nicholas's Stamina, after all, we can't let Mama wait anxiously..."
Perospero sneered repeatedly. In his opinion, using mass-produced Homies to consume Nicholas's Stamina.
This is a top-notch good idea!

Chapter 305: Divine Might Like a Prison
Nicholas remained unmoved, listening to the Charlotte Family members' discussions.
Meanwhile, Karas, who was hiding in the distance and secretly observing the Battlefield through a Crow, was somewhat confused.
The opponent's current military Strength gathered at Cake Island has exceeded twenty thousand. Although most of the military Strength are Homies, these Homies are also decent Combat Power. Moreover, due to their unique composition, they can be said to be completely fearless Soldiers.
As Karas, who is engaged in revolution, is very clear about what twenty thousand fearless Soldiers means.
But Nicholas did nothing.
Karas could understand the Charlotte Family's behavior of talking nonsense before the Battle, because they needed Time to complete the arrangement of the Encirclement. However, he couldn't understand Nicholas's Action of wasting Time, after all, that terrifying guy Big Mom was always there watching intently.
He wanted to remind him, but...
Considering that Nicholas might have his own plans, and coupled with his own Status, once exposed, it might attract more trouble, so he didn't speak.
Following Dorag and wandering the Grand Line for many years, he had experienced all kinds of hardships.
Only he did not expect...
One day, oneself would actually be reduced to a spectator.
Meanwhile.
Although Katakuri was very disdainful of using human wave tactics to deal with Nicholas, he also understood that only in this way could the casualties of brothers and Sisters be avoided as much as possible.
Oven is the best example. It should be known that even he himself could not take down Oven in a short Time, but as a result, Oven was instantly killed by Nicholas in a Face-to-face encounter.
If it weren't for the special nature of his own Fruit, he probably would have been killed long ago.
Katakuri prepared to take action.
"Hm?"
Just as he was about to take action, Red Light suddenly flashed in his Eyes.
As if he saw some "Future," his face changed slightly.
At the same time.
"What are you still waiting for, my dear Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters, attack!!!"
"Don't worry about the 'consumables' Life, instead, make good use of the 'consumables' Value. In this Battle, we will definitely not lose!!!"
As if he could see the result of Nicholas being consumed by countless Homies.
Perospero opened his hands and shouted excitedly.
"What blatant boasting! It seems being under Big Mom's Protection has made you ignore your own Weakness."
Just as Perospero's Words just finished, a very recognizable magnetic Sound sounded in his ear without any warning.
The Sound was very abrupt, making Perospero, who was opening his hands with a face full of smiles, couldn't help but be stunned.
Turning his Head somewhat stiffly, he only saw a Figure surrounded by Silver-White Lightning suddenly appear out of thin air beside him.
"So fast!?"
The Pirates crowd, looking at the Figure that suddenly appeared beside Perospero, all showed shocked expressions.
Only Katakuri had a solemn expression in his Eyes, seeming to have already predicted something.
"..."
Perospero's Eyes trembled slightly, then almost subconsciously waved his Candy Cane Staff to the side. With the waving of the Candy Cane Staff, a wave composed of viscous Candy Liquid appeared between the Two people, separating them and slapped towards Nicholas.
"Albert Nicholas!!!"
Almost at the same time as taking action, Perospero also shouted Nicholas's name in Terror.
Facing the Candy Liquid wave slapping towards him, Nicholas's Body moved slightly, and in a flash, he dodged Perospero's Attack.
"Numerical advantage?"
Facing the Gaze from all directions containing shock and disbelief, Nicholas's Eyes were cold, his Aura erupted from his Body, and Lightning surrounded his Body.
*Chirp chirp—chirp chirp—*
At the same time, there was a faint Sound of Thousand Birds chirping.
Nicholas slowly looked around, in his Eyes, a piece of indifference as if he were an emotionless earthly deity.
Along with the complete disappearance of Emotion in Nicholas's Eyes, a terrifying Intimidation that cannot be described in Words made everyone feel the strongest Pressure in history.
Even in the instant of being swept by this Pressure, Katakuri and others couldn't help but change color in shock.
Facing this Pressure, they couldn't help but produce a feeling of worship, even their knees had unconsciously bent down.
Under this Pressure, they even felt a feeling more terrifying than Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki.
In an instant, this Pressure swept across the entire Battlefield, and Perospero, who bore the brunt, was directly and heavily pressed onto the Ground by the invisible Pressure, even his whole Body was embedded in the Ground.
"Hm?!"
"S-so strong Conqueror's Haki..."
Except for Katakuri, many members of the Charlotte Family, bearing the terrifying Aura that swept in, in their Gaze looking at Nicholas, were filled with a strong look of Apprehension.
"This is not Conqueror's Haki."
Katakuri, bearing huge Pressure, fixedly stared at Nicholas.
As someone who possesses Conqueror's Haki, he could easily judge that this of Nicholas is not Conqueror's Haki, because when this Pressure approached, the Conqueror's Haki in his Body did not automatically erupt.
Moreover, this Aura gave him a feeling of divine might like a prison. Even Katakuri guessed that this Aura is more effective against People with stronger Strength.
"What, not Conqueror's Haki?"
Before the other People of the Charlotte Family could ask questions, the Sound of falling down constantly sounded around.
*Thud, thud...*
The Pirates Crew Members who came with the team, and the Homie Soldiers who were injected with Soul, suddenly fell to the Ground one after another like dominoes being pushed down.
In just two or three seconds Time, the original military Strength of more than twenty thousand, only less than a few hundred People remained.
"Numerical advantage?"
And along with the clearing of the surroundings, Nicholas's emotionless Eyes gradually returned to Normal. Nicholas stepped on Perospero's Head who was lying on the Ground with one Foot, looking expressionlessly at Charlotte and others with faces of disbelief and Big Mom's gloomy face.
said playfully.
"So, what about now?"
"..."
Suddenly, the originally mighty Army, so many People fell down, immediately making the Situation become very delicate.
It could even be faintly heard, "Big Mom Pirates Aura -500!" prompt Sound appeared.
"Bastard..."
Looking at the Situation of the surroundings being in a mess, Charlotte Daifuku's Body trembled slightly, quickly scanned around the Subordinates who had fallen to the Ground and could not get up, and the Homies whose Body became empty shells due to directly losing their Soul.
Originally, they could rely on the Absolute advantage in Military Strength to slowly wear down Nicholas's Stamina.
Afterwards, they would use the Combat Power of the Charlotte Family to gradually devour Nicholas step by step.
Who would have thought that Nicholas would instantly kill tens of thousands of their own Military Strength in a Face-to-face encounter.
This directly broke the original Operation Plan, and this also means that they will have to engage in close combat with Nicholas.
Thinking of this, a group of Charlotte Family children, their faces were gloomy as if water could drip out.
After all, they know that whether it's Oven with strong Strength or Perospero, both were instantly killed by the opponent in a Face-to-face encounter.
Even Oven and Perospero performed so poorly In front of the opponent, then wouldn't they, these guys who are weaker than the Two people, be very likely to die in one move?
Cracker coldly looked at Nicholas who was emitting Silver-White Lightning all over his Body, and said coldly, "The vacant Military Strength will be filled by me!"
"Hm?"
Nicholas heard this, glanced at Cracker, then nodded and said, "Indeed, your Ability to continuously create Biscuit Soldiers is indeed a bit troublesome, but..."
Before the Words finished, Nicholas's Figure had already appeared In front of Cracker, and then directly kicked towards Cracker with one Foot.
"Just solve it."
*Boom!*
Cracker, who was caught off guard, was immediately kicked and flew backwards, and at the same Time, his huge Form was also kicked out with a huge gap.
