Chapter 162 : The Pacifists Are Dispatched, And The War Of Annihilation Begins

"BOOM—"

A deafening sound echoed across the battlefield.

The massive ice surface trembled violently.

Even from an extreme distance, one could feel the incomparably terrifying power.

The ice covering several kilometers had completely evaporated in an instant.

"CRASH... WHOOSH..."

Fierce gusts of wind raged relentlessly.

Massive volumes of seawater gushed from the ocean depths, boiling endlessly where they surfaced.

Tendrils of electric current flowed incessantly through the area.

A huge crater appeared where the left-wing Marines had completely vanished.

"My god..."

Both the pirates led by Compote, eldest daughter of the Charlotte family, and the still enormous Homies Legion couldn't help but gape in shock.

They stared blankly at the exaggerated crater before them, speechless and breaking out in cold sweat.

"Ara~, although a few little bugs escaped, I still accomplished quite a bit. My efforts weren't wasted..." After taking a deep breath, Smoothie chuckled lightly.

The vast surveillance network had detected a few small fry escaping by various means.

But overall, her goal had been achieved—the left-wing Marine troops had been reduced by nearly 31%.

Now only the elite Marines remained on the right wing, fewer than 20,000 strong.

"Lady Smoothie, that move was truly powerful..." Mont-d'Or exclaimed.

Though he had assisted in the attack, Mont-d'Or never expected such an exaggerated effect.

Within a radius of several kilometers, everything had been completely erased.

The terrifying electrical current contained in that enormous thunderball, along with the devastating high temperatures generated by the discharge, had instantly destroyed all life forms and structures within the target range.

"However, such a move can only be used once..." Smoothie shrugged, not without regret. "The thunderclouds stored in the Ark's chamber have been completely depleted and will need time to regenerate!"

"Purupurupuru~ Purupurupuru~"

Ten miles away on the right-wing battlefield.

The Den Den Mushi carried by Charlotte family members fighting fiercely with Marines began ringing one after another.

They instinctively pushed back their enemies and answered their snails.

"The battle is proceeding well—the enemy on the left wing has been eliminated..."

An energized Smoothie announced directly to Perospero and the other Charlotte family members through the Den Den Mushi: "Next, we'll launch a full-scale encirclement of the right-wing Marine troops. We'll completely annihilate them and secure total victory in this war!"

"Really?"

"Whoa! That's incredible!"

"That explosion just now gave me a fright..."

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, Smoothie!"

"This makes our return journey much easier!"

While everyone could hardly believe it, they couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

Everyone knew Smoothie wouldn't lie about such an important matter or fool them all—especially with that deafening explosion they'd just heard. This was clearly no joke.

"What?!"

"Impossible..."

"Damn it, what's happening?"

The Marine generals fighting these Charlotte family executives couldn't help but change their expressions, disbelief written on their faces.

Even Dalmatian, Flying Squirrel, Tsuru, and Momousagi broke out in cold sweat.

A strong sense of dread welled up inside them.

"Candy Manatee!"

A large stream of candy syrup gushed forth.

It transformed into a massive candy manatee and charged toward Dalmatian as he advanced.

"Soru!" Dalmatian quickly moved beyond the candy manatee's attack range.

But other Marine soldiers who were too close to dodge suffered directly.

Accompanied by screams, these brave Marine soldiers were crushed into pulp beneath the enormous candy beast.

"Kukukuku~, nothing is impossible—you Marines know nothing about the power of our BIG MOM Pirates..."

Manipulating the candy manatee to chase Dalmatian, Perospero sneered: "This great pirate era belongs to us—to the Charlotte family!"

"Stop your nonsense, pirate scum!" Dalmatian roared in fury.

His figure moved like lightning, rushing through the air.

Blade in hand, wrapped in Haki, he slashed downward.

"CLANG!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Perospero licked his lips confidently.

His Haki-infused candy cane firmly blocked Dalmatian's attack.

"Do you know what happened to your Marine Admiral Sengoku the Buddha?" With victory seemingly at his fingertips, he couldn't contain his satisfaction: "I'll tell you—he's dead!"

"What?!"

Dalmatian's expression changed drastically.

"Candy Maiden!"

The moment his opponent was distracted, Perospero struck without hesitation.

A gigantic candy statue covered with barbs emerged, surrounding Dalmatian from all directions, attempting to trap the Vice Admiral inside.

"CLANG..." He narrowly blocked the barbs from the violent attack.

But due to his momentary carelessness, Dalmatian couldn't avoid being wounded.

His arms dripped with blood as he used Soru to retreat swiftly and create distance.

"Charlotte Wilhelm, that bastard..."

Furious, Dalmatian demanded, "What the hell did you do to Admiral Sengoku?!"

Not far away, Momousagi, Tsuru and others heard these words. They forced their opponents back and looked over with concern.

"Kukukuku..."

Perospero smiled strangely and licked his long tongue.

Looking directly at Dalmatian, whose face had contorted with rage, he said triumphantly: "It's fine to tell you—after all, you're all going to die here. None of you will see tomorrow's sunrise!"

"Both those fleets and your Admiral Sengoku were banished by Wilhelm into a different dimension."

"Without the passage opened by Wilhelm, no one can escape alive."

"What?!"

"Admiral Sengoku... how is this possible?"

"Damn, that Charlotte kid's abilities..."

At this moment, Dalmatian, Tsuru, Momousagi, Flying Squirrel, and other Marine generals present couldn't hide their shock.

Their expressions turned ugly—some couldn't believe it, their hearts sinking to the depths.

How could the powerful Buddha Sengoku fall so easily?

Presumably, he'd fallen into their trap and been imprisoned in an alternate space.

That Charlotte Wilhelm's ability was truly terrifying.

"Brother Peros, you're actively leaking our information to the enemy. Can't you keep your mouth shut?" At this moment, Smoothie arrived, looking at the Charlotte family's eldest son with exasperation.

How could anyone so foolishly reveal important intelligence to the enemy?

"Ahem, sorry, Smoothie. I momentarily forgot Wilhelm's instructions..." Perospero laughed awkwardly but quickly regained his confidence. "Kukukuku~, anyway, our victory is assured—they can't escape!"

"Of course, everything is proceeding according to Wilhelm's plan!"

Smoothie said with pride.

She glanced across the chaotic battlefield at Rob Lucci, Boa Hancock, Tezzolo, Yamato and others fighting against the Marine elites.

Seeing no immediate danger for her allies, she turned her attention elsewhere.

Clutching a Den Den Mushi, she ordered: "Next phase—deploy the Pacifista army!"

"Twenty Homies-enhanced Pacifistas, divide and conquer the battlefield! Surround the enemy and annihilate their core forces!"

"Understood, Lady Smoothie!"
