"Hey, what's your deal, you little troublemaker!"
Big Mom's expression turned fiercer, and she unleashed a loud roar, her forehead twitching in clear anger.
"I was just saying..."
"The Pirate Emperor is just that!"
The moment he finished talking, Atlas's arms suddenly bulged, veins popped out on his neck, his face reddened, and the tremendous power surged once more, releasing it all on Big Mom!
Thud, thud, thud!
The immense strength pushed back even Big Mom, who had defeated the Giant at the age of six, and the air beneath her feet screamed!
Even Doflamingo's Birdcage, known for its terrifying power, Atlas managed to tear apart with sheer force.
Atlas's Ox Talisman allows him to unleash the maximum power his current body can handle.
Through intense training and battles, his body has reached an extraordinary state that was once unimaginable.
Even if Kaido's mythical zoan fruit is awakened, enhancing his vitality and body significantly, he can only match Atlas.
And this isn't even the end for Atlas.
"Mama!!"
Zeus, now blackened, exclaimed, and his massive form swiftly stretched out to catch the falling Big Mom.
"It looks like you've made quite a leap since the last encounter, you little troublemaker!"
"Zeus!"
"Yes, Mama!"
Shouting, Zeus beneath Big Mom's feet dispersed in large areas, surging towards the sky. In the sky where thunderclouds rolled, a human face suddenly emerged, and the purple-black thunder, several times more terrifying than before, continued to churn.
Boom! !
Countless thunderbolts descended like wildly dancing giant pythons, carrying destructive power and rushing towards Atlas.
Tenman Daijizai Tenjin (T/N: There is no official translation for it.)! ! !
"Um!?"
Atlas maintained his composure, his mind staying remarkably calm. His eyes glowed red, and numerous thunder trajectories suddenly appeared in his mind.
He had no intention of forcefully resisting. This thunderstorm was entirely different from the previous thunderbolt. Even with the Horse Talisman, he didn't want to endure the agony of flesh and skin being peeled off.
Swish!
Atlas turned his head to avoid it, and a beam of purple-black thunder passed by him. His cheeks suddenly felt a burning sensation, and a large amount of blood oozed out, but it returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"These thunders are unusual..."
Boom! !
Without any time to think, Atlas moved sideways again, dodging a bolt of thunder that came from behind.
Suddenly, thunder, which he had been avoiding, abruptly turned back, as if equipped with a navigation system, and chased after him.
This thing is aware...
An audacious idea suddenly crossed Atlas's mind.
"Isn't it just thunder? I can do it too!"
With a roar, Atlas dodged while utilizing the Rooster Talisman's ability. Dark clouds suddenly formed in the distance of the battlefield, and thunder rolled in an instant.
There's no way, especially if, from the start, Zeus's body didn't cover the sky above the two of them.
He might still be able to summon thunder, but now...
Atlas looked up at the sky and shook his head.
The thunderclouds above his head are essentially a part of Zeus, and even if he forcefully seizes control of the thunder, it will be a futile effort.
"Roar!!"
With a roar, a massive beast broke through the clouds and emerged over the sea. Silver-white thunder enveloped its entire body, and each muscle scale was composed of destructive thunder.
Atlas smiled determinedly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Raijū Ginga (Thunder Beast Silver Fang)!!"
Merging the destructive power and terrifying speed of thunder, the colossal thunder beast arrived in an instant, its abyssal mouth full of fangs mercilessly devouring its target.
In an instant, all the purple-black thunder vanished.
"Mama, my lightning doesn't work on him!"
Seeing this, Zeus screamed loudly.
"Shut up!"
"Prometheus!"
Big Mom roared, and her thoughts shifted slightly. Prometheus, next to him, understood and opened his mouth to spew.
Boom! !
A massive light suddenly emerged from the dark sky.
"Heavenly Bonbon (The Heavens' Candies)!!"
The enormous fireball shot out and rushed toward Atlas with tremendous force!
Atlas responded in kind, using magic to counter magic!
"Bakuenryu (Exploding Flame Dragon)!!"
A massive oriental dragon extended from the arm, each horn appearing natural, and explosive power surged through its entire body.
The same maneuver was repeated, and the fireball was engulfed in one gulp.
Boom! !
A massive explosion emanated from the dragon's belly, slicing the majestic creature in half!
Big Mom 'Heavenly Bonbon', akin to the Dragon Talisman, possessed both potent explosive capability and the burning properties of fire!
"Gather!"
Atlas' focus merged, and he forcibly brought fire dragon's body together. His figure grew even larger, circling around Atlas once more.
Thunder against thunder! Fire versus fire!
Big Mom won't gain any advantage!
"Damn you, little devil!"
...
Broccoli Island.
Smoker and other Marines slowly recovered from the pressure of Conqueror's haki just now, and they all shifted their attention to the port.
"Sir, should we go and capture Katakuri?"
Smoker turned around and glanced at the Marine who spoke, as if looking at an idiot.
"Arrest him? Which one of you is volunteering?"
Hearing this, all the Marines present lowered their heads in silence.
Just kidding, they could barely resist the opponent's Conqueror's Haki. Now that they've regained their mobility, and the methods available to him aren't limited to Conqueror's haki.
Even though Katakuri had lost an arm, dealing with these little shrimps was still a piece of cake.
"By the way, Smoker, would you like to call Marineford to report the situation here?" Kyros on the side asked Smoker worriedly.
"I just called Admiral Sengoku, but..." Smoker furrowed his brow and shook his head, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. "He said there's no manpower available for support at the moment. Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Akainu are currently out on missions. Admiral Sengoku has instructed them to come here as soon as possible. We're on our own for now."
On board the massive Queen Mama Chanter.
Katakuri, having regained the ability to move, leaned against the cabin with a gloomy face, holding Smoothie in his arms, who showed no signs of life.
Originally, he thought he was done for, as the slash delivered by Atlas before leaving was undoubtedly something he couldn't withstand in his previous state.
Unexpectedly, Smoothie rushed forward and used her body to shield him from the fatal blow.
"Bastard Marine..."
Katakuri gritted his teeth as he watched the thundering battlefield not far away.
That gaze fueled his desire to devour Atlas alive!
