Although it was only the aftermath of BIGMOM being sent flying, many members of the BIGMOM Pirates died in the explosion that followed.
Not only ordinary pirates, but also many members of the Charlotte family perished.
When the shockwave stopped, Cake Island was torn apart, reduced to ruins.
Countless pirates were buried under the wreckage, their broken corpses visible everywhere.
"What!!!"
"Hateful!!!"
Charlotte Katakuri roared wildly, his voice full of grief and anger.
With just one glance, he saw the bodies of many of his brothers and sisters.
They had been alive just moments ago, but now they were all dead.
This was almost too much for Katakuri, who loved his family dearly, to bear.
"Katakuri, big brother!"
Members of the Charlotte family crawled out of the rubble, all in a state of distress. Most were wounded.
These were some of the stronger cadres, so they had survived the aftermath.
"Mother!"
"Where is Mother?"
"How is Mommy?"
Charlotte Cracker, Owen, and the others hurriedly asked.
Everyone's eyes turned to the massive hole in the center of the island, their bodies filled with chills.
Even BIGMOM wouldn't be unscathed after receiving such a brutal blow from Lucifer.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the crater.
As the ground shook, BIGMOM broke through the earth.
Katakuri and the others stared, wide-eyed.
They had never seen such an embarrassed version of BIGMOM.
Her body was drenched in blood, her hair disheveled. While her aura was still terrifying, it seemed somewhat diminished.
"Damn Lucifer, I'll never forgive you!"
BIGMOM activated the power of her Soul-Soul Fruit, and her wounds healed at a visible rate.
At the same time, the scimitar Napoleon, which had been broken in half, was restored to its original form.
"Oh? Burning life to heal yourself?"
Lucifer smirked. He knew the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.
In addition to creating Homies, BIGMOM could also heal herself and increase her combat power by burning her own lifespan.
However, while BIGMOM had revived Napoleon, Zeus and Prometheus remained absent.
It was clear that BIGMOM did not consider Zeus and Prometheus to be a threat to Lucifer.
The reason she restored Napoleon was that many of her strongest attacks required a weapon.
Under the effect of burning her life force, BIGMOM's wounds healed rapidly.
But there were now more white strands in her hair, and her face appeared older.
"Lucifer, take this!"
BIGMOM swung her sword furiously, sending a massive shockwave of sword energy toward Lucifer.
The shockwave howled as it rushed at an extreme speed and width, almost impossible to avoid.
This was a move she had learned from the giants. Combined with her massive physique and Haki, the attack was stronger than that of an average human.
But such an attack did not faze Lucifer.
"Dark Cave, Black Hole!"
Lucifer extended his hand, and the space in front of him shattered. A black hole appeared.
The black hole rotated slowly, dark and ominous, as if it could swallow everything in its path.
Anyone who looked at it felt a sharp pain in their eyes.
The black hole seemed to devour even light.
Boom!
The giant shockwave of sword energy hit the black hole and was completely absorbed.
Such an earth-shattering attack was silently negated by Lucifer.
"Back at you!"
Lucifer flicked his finger, and the sword energy shockwave shot out from the black hole, returning to BIGMOM.
Boom!
The shockwave slammed into BIGMOM, but she blocked it with her emperor sword.
She had never imagined that one day her own attack would be turned against her.
"Gravity Crush!"
Lucifer's killer move came again, releasing an immense gravitational force that slammed into BIGMOM.
Her feet sank, and she was immediately crushed to the ground.
"Universal Pull!"
Before BIGMOM could react, Lucifer changed his attack.
Endless gravitational force gripped BIGMOM, yanking her into the air.
BIGMOM swung her emperor sword again, creating another shockwave of sword energy.
But Lucifer easily resolved the attack.
Lucifer's figure flashed, and he teleported in front of BIGMOM, landing a powerful palm strike to her chest.
"Super Shenluo Tianzheng!"
Boom!
A super-strong repulsive force exploded from Lucifer's palm, infused with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. The power was overwhelming.
BIGMOM was blasted away, soaring through the air like a meteor.
In mid-air, she coughed up blood and screamed in pain.
Her eyes rolled, and she nearly lost consciousness.
With a loud crash, BIGMOM landed on Cake Island.
The island was hit hard once again, and it was torn asunder.
"Mother!!!"
Katakuri, Cracker, and the others on the edge of the island screamed in horror, their bodies trembling.
"Impossible, Mom is the strongest pirate in the world."
"How could she lose?"
"Lucifer! Why is that bastard so strong?"
"He's just a newcomer, how can he be stronger than Mother?"
The Charlotte family was filled with despair.
They had never imagined that BIGMOM would be defeated one day.
But the facts were right in front of them, and they couldn't deny them.
Judging by the current situation, if the battle continued, BIGMOM would surely lose.
Perhaps, BIGMOM had already lost.
After taking such a devastating hit from Lucifer, BIGMOM was severely wounded, even if she hadn't been killed.
Many kings of the underground world and renowned pirates from the New World, watching from afar, held their breath, eyes wide, and were struck with awe.
Today's battle had shown them what true, top-tier combat power looked like.
They now understood the true terror of the demon Lucifer.
Even the mighty BIGMOM couldn't touch Lucifer, and he crushed her relentlessly.
"We lost, BIGMOM is about to lose!"
"Unbelievable, what a fight!"
"The demon Lucifer is going to become the new Emperor!"
"The Four Emperors—BIGMOM—is falling!"
Although BIGMOM wasn't dead yet, her chances of victory were slim.
No one believed she could survive Lucifer's wrath.
Some pirate crews began fleeing in secret.
They were pirates under BIGMOM's banner, relying on her name to survive in the New World.
Now that her influence was crumbling, they needed to escape quickly.
Otherwise, once Lucifer finished off BIGMOM, they'd be the next targets.
In the sky, Lucifer flapped his demon wings, his expression indifferent.
His Observation Haki had locked onto BIGMOM, and he knew she was seriously injured, but not yet dead.
"Sword of Judgment: Weeping Blood and Cutting the Sky!"
Lucifer raised his hand, and a massive sword, over 100 meters long, materialized. It was instantly covered with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
"It's over, BIGMOM!"
Just as Lucifer was about to launch the final blow to end BIGMOM, a dragon's roar echoed from the distant sky.
Lucifer frowned, his Observation Haki sensing a powerful presence approaching rapidly.
He looked up and saw dark clouds rolling in the distance, something about to break through them.
"There's something in the clouds?"
"What's that? A talon?"
"Is it a monster?"
"No, it's a dragon, a legendary dragon!"
Members of the Charlotte family, led by Katakuri, who had been watching the battle, also noticed the change in the sky.
A massive dragon claw appeared, followed by a dragon's tail.
Finally, a deafening roar filled the air.
A colossal dragon head emerged from the dark clouds, staring down at Lucifer with murderous intent.
The dragon's body continued to emerge from the clouds, revealing its terrifying size.
It hovered in the air, moving with immense power.
A violent wind erupted, and the sea churned violently. Pirate ships rocked violently, as if they might capsize at any moment.
"Kaido!"
"He came too!"
Lucifer instantly recognized the blue dragon as Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.
The members of the Charlotte family also recognized Kaido.
"Kaido, it's Kaido!"
"Why is Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, here?"
"Could it be because of Lucifer?"
"I heard that Lucifer killed Jack the Drough of the Beasts Pirates recently. Kaido must have come to seek revenge."
"How much courage does Lucifer have to face two of the Four Emperors by himself?"
