Chapter 118: Reinforcements

Chapter 118: Reinforcements

Rumble!

Two imposing attacks collided head-on in mid-air, immediately setting off terrifying, suffocating ripples in the air. The terrifying energy contained within the two attacks made it seem from a distance as if they were locked in a stalemate.

However, this stalemate was ultimately an illusion. Accompanied by a deafening roar, the void within a kilometer radius centered on the two attacks seemed to vibrate.

Both sides engaged in the chaotic battle on Cake Island, as well as the crowd watching from afar, were also affected. Almost everyone had to stop what they were doing and try to steady themselves to avoid falling.

The enormous Shockwave even directly blew some of the weaker Ordinary People on Cake Island off their feet, and they couldn't get back up for a long time.

At this moment.

If everything happening on Cake Island was likened to a grand performance, then everyone on Cake Island was just a supporting character with more or less screen time.

The true protagonists had always been only the two people clashing in the center of Cake Island!

Finally.

After an unknown amount of time, the violent celestial phenomena caused by the collision between the Elbaf Giant's Conqueror's Kingdom and the Lightning Spear from the Thunder God's hand gradually subsided. The battle situation in the High Sky also gradually became clearer.

On the Ground, many people who had regained their footing looked up towards Cake Castle and found that neither Big Mom nor Nicholas were in good State.

Thundercloud Zeus under Big Mom's feet was visibly half the size it was before. Big Mom herself was kneeling on Thundercloud Zeus, her hair disheveled, panting heavily.

Nicholas, transformed into the Thunder God, was also visibly less solid than before, indicating that the previous attack had also consumed a significant amount of his Energy.

Clearly, after such a terrifying exchange of attacks, both of them had expended a great deal of Energy.

"To actually be able to withstand Mom's Elbaf Spear..." Oven, pinned to the Ground, gazed in the direction of Nicholas and Big Mom, feeling increasingly grateful for Katakuri's actions in holding him down.

Just thinking about taking Nicholas's terrifying attack made him shiver uncontrollably.

"This is troublesome. Mom probably won't be able to take down that guy for a while. Daifuku, take Oven to safety," Katakuri said, speaking to Daifuku, who had returned at some point without anyone noticing.

"No way!"

Daifuku and Oven said in unison. Clearly, they couldn't abandon Katakuri and the others. Daifuku had even immediately returned to the Battlefield here after sending Brulee to a safe place.

Katakuri looked around, then glanced at the two figures exuding terrifying Aura in Cake Castle, and at Cake Island, which was being increasingly destroyed. He immediately made a decision: "You guys will only be a distraction here. I will try my best to capture that little girl, and then use her as a hostage to go to Mom's side and help Mom quickly end the battle!"

Clearly, in Katakuri's view, this was the easiest way to help Big Mom achieve victory. In a battle between Powerful Figures, even a slight lapse in concentration at a critical moment could determine the Outcome.

Although this behavior was despicable, if they didn't do this, even if Big Mom ultimately won the battle against Nicholas, Cake Island would probably be completely leveled by then. After all, the Destructive Power of battles between calamity-level Powerful Figures was quite astonishing.

In the time the two sides had been fighting, the core area of Cake Island, centered on Cake Castle, had almost completely turned into Ruins.

Having made up his mind, Katakuri immediately moved his Foot, preparing to rush towards the Battlefield of the Snake-Person sisters and Katie.

However, at this moment.

A red light flashed in Katakuri's eyes, and then he abruptly stopped, took a deep breath, and looked towards a high point not far away, holding Earth Dragon. There, Simon, through the Scope, met Katakuri's gaze and smiled at Katakuri.

Katakuri's expression was ugly. Just now, when he intended to go to Amande and the Snake-Person sisters' Battlefield, he had vaguely seen Daifuku and Oven getting their heads blown off.

At the same time, alarm bells rang loudly in his Heart. When he stopped, that feeling disappeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Above the Sky, Charlotte Linlin, wielding Napoleon, with Prometheus perched on her hair and Thundercloud Zeus beneath her feet, and Nicholas, having dispelled the Thunder God, wielding a Long Sword and riding a Thunder Dragon, charged towards the Sky.

The two locked in close combat exchanged dozens of Swords in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the sparks, the clang of Metal clashing almost never stopped. Some were the sounds of Sword Blade collisions.

And some were the sounds of the two people's Fists, covered in Armament Haki, colliding fiercely.

When Armament Color is cultivated to a certain level, the Body covered in Armament Haki can even exceed the strength of steel. The sound of fists and feet covered in Armament Haki colliding is basically indistinguishable from the sound of Metal clashing.

Even when Armament Haki is cultivated to its peak, the Body alone is enough to withstand the Slash of a Saijō Ō Wazamono Sword.

During the fight between the two, Prometheus occasionally spewed Flame to interfere, while behind Nicholas, Weapons materialized from Lightning continuously flew out, scattering the Flame or shooting towards Big Mom.

Clang! The Sword Edges of the two Weapons collided simultaneously. Both of them exerted all their Strength into their Arms, causing the two Weapons to lock in a stalemate.

"You're quite strong, brat. To be able to do this much without Conqueror's Haki." Big Mom's eyes had also turned blood red. She stared at Nicholas with a gloomy gaze, her once beautiful face now full of brutality and ferocity.

Clearly, Nicholas, who did not have Conqueror's Haki and could not use Conqueror's Haki Embodiment, was actually able to hold his own against her in a clash of Armament Haki, showing no sign of weakness.

"But, how long can you last!" "A man can't say no! Especially in front of a woman!" Nicholas gritted his teeth, his Arm suddenly exerting force, shaking off Napoleon in Charlotte Linlin's hand. Then, his Sword stance changed from a slash to a thrust. The Sword Blade, enhanced with Lightning to increase its piercing effect, stabbed straight towards Big Mom's Chest!

"Ah!" Nicholas's sudden Sword was truly too fast. Although Big Mom reacted, it was too late to parry. Her steel-like skin was pierced almost instantly, and Blood flowed down the Sword Edge. The pain made her face contort and she screamed.

"Damn brat!" She suddenly reached out, her hand covered in Armament Haki tightly gripping the Sword Edge, while her other hand, holding Napoleon, was raised high, directly slashing towards Nicholas.

In this critical moment, Nicholas jumped up, then bent his legs and kicked off Charlotte Linlin's Body, using the reaction force to pull out his Weapon and avoid the falling slash.

"Nicholas, you bastard!!!" Charlotte Linlin, clutching her Chest, stared at Nicholas tens of meters away with bloodshot eyes.

Nicholas looked at Charlotte Linlin clutching her chest with regret. If it weren't for that thing being too big and thick, that Sword just now, with the sharpness granted by Lightning, might have really pierced Charlotte Linlin's Heart.

Just as the battle situation on Cake Island was becoming increasingly deadlocked, hundreds of miles away from Cake Island in the Sea Area, an extremely large Figure was speeding towards Cake Island, riding the waves against the wind on the Sea Surface.
