Chapter 18: Chapter 018
Night at New World...
Luke and others arrived at an unnamed flat island that seems to be made by fine sand. The island seems peculiar by being covered with random runes making it looked like a solid concrete.
"Just in time. Recent event happening is Big Mom returning to the Whole Cake Island." Gaara said. He spent months to create an Island underwater as per the plan. Now that the plan is being initiated, he can finally emerge the whole Island to the surface.
"Where's the boss?" Killer Bee inquired when he didn't see their boss, Pain.
"He's currently infiltrating the Whole Cake Island. If the initial plan is a success, our target will transfer to this island soon." Temari replied.
"Good. Now, go in position to prepare the formation." Luke nodded as he crossed his arms.
"Get ready." Gaara nodded and took Blackbeard as he headed to the edge of the island.
...
Totto Land, Whole Cake Island...
Big Mom was currently eating nonstop while her Sons and Daughters are attending around her. She was eating various sweets that the servants delivered to her every now and then.
(A/N : For those who don't know Big Mom, I've searched her physical bio.)
Big Mom is a round, obese old woman with a chin often hidden by her torso. She has an enormous physique, standing at 880 centimeters or just shy of 29 feet tall, which is the largest known height for any human. She is taller than the extremely large Whitebeard and was able to hold the 277 cm tall Brook in her hand.
Even as a five-year old child, Linlin was already massive to the point she was mistaken for a giant and was as tall as giant children. However, as an adult, she is a little over three meters short of the minimum giant height of 12 meters. She has moderately round, orange eyes, prominent eyelashes, and wears thick purple eyeshadow.
She has a very wide mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick, large, round teeth, and a long, thick tongue that often sticks out. She also has long, curly, and wild pink hair that falls halfway down her back, as well as a long beak-like nose, and plump, round cheeks.
She also sports a tattoo on her left shoulder and arm, consisting of a large, standard-shaped red heart framed by thin lines curled at their bottom ends, which all tops a far smaller heart.
"MAMMAMA MAAMA! Delicious! Yum~!" Big Mom hummed as she devoured everything with her drooling mouth while her Homies named Zeus, Prometheus and Napoleon floated around while swaying happily.
Not far from Big Mom, Katakuri's gloomy face turned as he waved his hand to disperse the crowd except for the servants that's still delivering food.
The sons and daughters saw that Big Mom has stabled her mood, they started to go back on scouting the Whole Cake Island.
"Mama, you shouldn't always willful and go to that place too often. We don't know if Kaido will suddenly turn back on our alliance and target you instead." Katakuri reminded with his grave tone.
"Kaido? Turning back against me? MAMMAHAHAHA! I'm afraid before he defeat me, he'll be a dead man. That bastard causes trouble everywhere and now he's planning to kill himself." Big Mom replied while grinning menacingly.
"And he will never turn back against me even if the whole world collapse!" Big Mom laughed out loud as she resumed her meal.
Katakuri went silent. He knew Kaido was doing suicide attacks on every places, even ocassionally confronting the Marine Headquarters to satiate his battle hunger.
Big Mom stood up heading towards her room to rest leaving Katakuri behind.
Katakuri was too occupied with things when his expression changed greatly. He instinctively dashed towards the room at full speed.
Swish! BOOOOM!!
"AAAAH!!"
"Huh?"
"Where's Mama?
"Mama?"
Zeus, Prometheus and Napoleon got blown away by a sudden air pressure pushing them to the wall. By the second they recovered, Big Mom disappeared in their view.
"WAAAAAAH!!!!"
BOOOOOOM!!!! BOOOOOOOM!! CRACKLE! RUUUMBLE!!!
The trio went on a rampage, breaking and destroying everything around them. The whole room became a total mess in an instant.
Behind them was Katakuri who was about to explode. He couldn't sense any traces of Big Mom no matter how far his Observation Haki extend.
BOOOOOM!!!!
Katakuri's rage exploded through Conqueror's Haki. His rage even halted the rampaging trio in the room.
"What's going on?!" Smoothie felt the violent Conqueror's Haki spreading everywhere.
"It's coming from Mama's room! Hurry!" Cracker shouted and hurried back to check the situation.
Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki still running amok as he didn't stop searching everywhere with his Observation Haki.
"What happened here?! Where's Mama?" Cracker was first to arrived. He was having a hard time shouldering the pressure of Katakuri. He was shocked to know that the latter was so powerful than before.
Big Mom's sons and daughters arrived one after another and were equally flabbergasted.
"Mama's missing. Someone sneaked in and took her away. Find any traces of Mama! And no outsiders shall know of this! Go!" Katakuri announced as he began to calm down.
Everyone was shocked before spreading in different directions for the search.
Katakuri eyed the trio Homies and asked, "Do you feel Mama around? Do you know where she went?"
Zeus shook it's head while getting panicked, "We can only sense Mama if she's around the Totto Island."
Prometheus and Napoleon also agreed with Zeus.
Katakuri's expression went severe. Earlier he saw a shadow grabbing Big Mom before they disappeared. He also saw Big Mom already noticed the shadow but she didn't react, she just let the shadow grab her out of interest.
...
Swish!!
Big Mom got confused after her surroundings changed. Beside her was a orange-haired man instantly distanced the flat island.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!"
The Flat Island suddenly covered by rectangular purple dome.
Big Mom watched the spectacle with interest written her face. She didn't know what kind of show it was, but she's clearly relaxed and grinning. She didn't even know she's being held captive at the moment.
"Now."
Big Mom turned to see Luke was the only one facing her. After hearing his voice, she expected another show again.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!
Four giant tentacles emerged from the bottom and grabbed all of Big Mom's limbs, making her immobilized. Not only that, the tentacles got reinforced by Armament Haki that it became more durable.
"Oh? I see how it goes. To think some twerps would like to deal with me." Big Mom's eyes lit up when sensing the intention to kill that came from Luke.
"Yes. I hope you already bade farewells to your kids. Because tonight is the night an Emperor shall perish." Luke disappeared from his position and floated in front of Big Mom up close. He raised his hand and pushed a palm towards the latter's chest.
"Celestial Blood Prison!"
THUMP!!
Upon contact, Big Mom felt her blood got frozen still. She even felt her strong heart beating slowly.
Luke calmly retracted his hand. He created a more potent blood manipulation technique just to restrain this monstrous woman in front of him. Even a giant would crumble into a ball by it's pressure.
However..
"MAMMAMA MAAMA!! You have a talent. How about you join my alliance? I will betroth one of my daughters to you." Big Mom ignored the overwhelming pressure as she laughed out loud without restraint. She even have the time to make a bargain with her attacker.
"Sure. As long as you can leave this place alive." Luke also smiled as his glowing crimson eyes got even more brighter.
"Blood Field!"
(A/N : Or Blood Domain.)
The Island suddenly got enclosed by another layer of dome. After the Blood Field successfully activated, the atmosphere inside became heavy.
"Hell no! This guy's domain is much potent than when he was fighting with Garp!" Killer Bee commented on the side with surprise. The rest of the group also got surprised by this sudden event.
Pain whose floating outside the Island stared at Luke with profound meaning. No one knows what he's thinking at the moment.
Big Mom's jolly mood slowly reverted to indifference. Then she showed menacing grin.
"Too bad but I'm the one who won't let you twerps leave this place alive!!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! CRACKLE!!
Big Mom narrowed her eyes dangerously and she released an overwhelming pressure that made the Island swayed violently.
"Bee! Keep her in place!" Luke shouted and he jumped upwards. His clenching fists suddenly got coated by a thin layer of red color. During the past four months, he finally succeded on getting a minor mastery of Color of Arms Haki, the internal destruction.
Big Mom glanced upwards and was surprised. She didn't expect Luke could pose a threat to her life after seeing those little fists.
"How reckless!" She snorted and Forcefully swayed her right hand making Killer Bee had no choice but to enforce another tail to restrain Big Mom's body.
Due to the stacking pressure she felt, Big Mom had to face the incoming attack head-on without blocking.
"Come!" She grinned without putting up a struggle.
"Hmph!" Luke smashed down using Double Axe Handle to the top of her head.
RUMMMMBLE!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
"AAAAHH!!!" Big Mom shrieked in agony as if a whole weight of a giant mountain just smashed into her head.
Dark Lightnings and violent wind chaotically rampaged within the formation. However, the Flat Island remained intact with only vibrating nonstop.
Luke's mouth spilled a blood just by over-exerting his power in that attack. The key point he wanted to fight with Big Mom in such a place is that, Big Mom is close to unkillable when there are too many people around.
Especially in Whole Cake Island, she's particularly a God in that place by the unlimited supply of soul power.
Also, separating her from her powerful Homies will leave her combat power diminished by quite a few levels. In this situation, Luke basically crippled Big Mom's ability to fight.
"Haa.. Hah.... Hahah.." Instead of Losing consciousness, Big Mom chuckled and the surrounding area became silent as if her voice got amplified.
Luke waved his hand and enclosed Big Mom with a energy bubble, preventing her Devil Fruit's might to affect to the people around.
Big Mom was still standing with the restriction of Killer Bee as she woke up from her reverie. Her body really felt heavy as if she fought days of nonstop battle.
"This...
This is ...
PREPOSTEROUS!!!"
BOOOOOOOOOM!!! RUUUUMBLE!!!
"Oh Hell No!!" Killer Bee saw the formation and the Blood Field cracked.
"She's on a rampage!"
