Chapter 115 Thunder God
Boom!
Enormous explosions continuously echoed from Cake Castle, located in the very center of Cake Island, hardly pausing for a moment. In just a few minutes, Big Mom and Nicholas had already clashed in the Sky over a hundred times.
It could be said that each of their attacks made the hearts of the people on the Island tremble, and even the Sky became particularly suffocating due to their battle.
Compared to when they first started fighting, the two of them now seemed to have warmed up and entered their State.
Nicholas's clothes were without any damage, only some sweat drops appeared on his Forehead.
As for Big Mom, although physically she didn't have any injuries, her clothes had already become tattered. After all, this wasn't Anime, there weren't clothes that never get damaged no matter how much damage they take.
As for her makeup, it had also become somewhat messy due to the intense battle.
However, Napoleon in her hand, as well as Prometheus and Zeus hovering beside her, were spirited. Clearly, battles of this scale had no effect on them whatsoever.
In other words, for fighters at the level of Big Mom and Nicholas, if there was no outside interference, it would be impossible to determine a winner in a one-on-one fight in a short time. After all, everyone was a figure at the top of the Grand Line. Although there might be a Gap in Combat Power, it wouldn't be the case that a winner could be decided not even half an hour into the fight.
From the surface, it seemed impossible to discern anything from their exchange.
But at this moment, only the two of them, as opponents, knew clearly in their Inner Thoughts that Big Mom actually held a slight Advantage in the current Situation.
Although Zeus's effect on Nicholas was close to zero, the attacks Nicholas unleashed with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability were, to some extent, weakened by Zeus.
And Charlotte Linlin's attacks, whether launched with Prometheus or Napoleon, possessed formidable Power. Even Nicholas, despite being Monster Level and proficient in Armament Haki, was unwilling to take them head-on.
The most crucial point was the Gap in Stamina between the two sides.
Whether attacking, defending, or using Devil Fruit Ability, all consumed Stamina.
Big Mom, due to her innate Pervert physique and skin that was countless times harder and more resilient than Steel, possessed almost no Flaw in Defense.
Moreover, the sustained combat Ability brought by her Pervert physique granted her incredibly powerful endurance.
However.
Even so, there was still no hint of retreat or fear on Nicholas's face. On the contrary, his Fighting Spirit was soaring. Only by fighting against the Strongest could he constantly break through his limits.
Subsequently, he re-gripped the Long Sword that had materialized in his Palm, slowly stepped forward, and grinned at Big Mom, "You really are a troublesome Weapon."
"Mama, mama, mama! Isn't it a little too late to realize that now?"
Big Mom stared at Nicholas with eyes like an Evil Ghost, laughing savagely. Her Aura became even more terrifying, almost solidifying into substance.
"As for you, Kid, today ends here!"
The instant her Words fell, Soul Power surged in once more, and Napoleon in her hand emitted a dazzling Radiance, making the Greatsword appear like a Weapon of the Gods.
"Emperor Sword: Reign!"
In a furious roar, the Sharpness of Napoleon's Sword Blade surged again, and then slashed down towards Nicholas head-on.
As this Sword was swung, the originally Dark Clouds-filled Sky abruptly changed. Black Cloud Surrender, Thunder silenced, as if a true Emperor had descended!
"Came just in time!"
Witnessing this Scene, the Fighting Spirit in Nicholas's Eyes burned fiercely. He roared in a low voice, and then swung his own Sword towards Big Mom!
King Slayer!
Along with a sudden Thunderclap, a Sword Aura resembling a resolute assassin facing death abruptly burst forth, its momentum vast and mighty. Wherever the Sword passed, everything that had been silenced under Big Mom's Sword seemed to return to Normal.
On one side, Dark Clouds subsided, Thunder fell silent; on the other, Black Cloud pressed down, and raging Thunder and Lightning illuminated the Sky above the Cloud cover.
Buzz!
In the next instant, the two Slashes collided.
Rumble!
A Thunderclap countless times more terrifying than before resounded throughout the entire Sky in that instant!
In the Violent Airflow, torrential Rain poured down from the Sky, like the Milky Way collapsing, drenching everyone on Cake Island. The Sea Area around Cake Island was also filled with Gale and raging waves, with enormous Sea Waves constantly crashing against the Coast of Cake Island.
At this moment, everyone on Cake Island, as well as those who had already set sail,
felt that the Scene before their Eyes was simply like a miracle.
After a brief Silence, a massive Will emerged from Cake Castle, stirring the Sky and rapidly sweeping towards the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, the Weakest all rolled their Eyes and fainted to the Ground. Those who did not faint looked towards the direction of Cake Castle with Eyes full of Apprehension.
"Is that the Monster's Conqueror's Haki? It's truly terrifying."
"It's hard to imagine what kind of Weapon could fight Big Mom, that Woman, to such an extent."
"But he's probably finished for sure. How could that kind of Monster be someone Ordinary People can deal with…"
But at this moment!
Suddenly, someone rubbed their Eyes and screamed.
"Look!! There, in the center of the Thundercloud!!!!!!"
"Nani?!?"
Following the Sound, everyone looked over and saw that the Dark Clouds in the Sky seemed to be drawn by something, converging into a massive Vortex in the center.
At the same time, from within the Dark Clouds, streaks of Lightning like Thunder Dragons continuously struck down towards Cake Castle below from the Vortex.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, at the location of Cake Castle, a Giant Figure continuously expanded, and the Thunder Dragons descending from the Sky circled around the Figure. That scene, like a Thunder God descending upon the world, directly stunned all the onlookers!
For a Time, that apocalyptic Scene of destruction thoroughly shocked everyone.
Many people had the same Thought in their Inner Thoughts: that Weapon didn't seem to be Ordinary People either, and it was really hard to say who would win or lose in this war between Monsters.
"Is this your Trump Card, Nicholas?"
At this moment, in the center of the Battlefield of Cake Castle, Big Mom looked at the Thunder God, nearly a hundred meters tall, that had appeared before her, her Complexion gloomy. Even she could feel the violent Energy contained within the Thunder God Body manifested by Lightning.
"Trump Card, perhaps."
The Giant Thunder God looked down at Big Mom, and Nicholas's Voice echoed from within.
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Big Mom also fell into Silence.
Although she was very unwilling to admit it, there was no doubt that Nicholas was an Opponent on the Same Level as her.
…
Cake Castle, south side, a wide open area.
At this moment, two Battlefields were in the midst of a chaotic battle.
"Young man, being so ruthless to a lady is not very gentlemanly,"
Brook blocked Katakuri's Earth Dragon Thrust towards Katie with his Sword, speaking with an earnest tone.
Almost in an instant, Katakuri's Head sharply turned, and then a Bullet Hole that was still smoking appeared on the Ground beside him.
"What a troublesome Weapon."
Katakuri glanced at Simon in the Distant, unable to help but curse inwardly.
It could be said that after fighting for so long, he had already seen it. This group of Weapons was completely focused on Exercising that little girl wielding Dual Swords. If it weren't for this little girl tying up the Skeleton and the Sniper in the Distance, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
Although they were all People who had inherited Big Mom's Gene, and might have Potential in the Future, but right now, they were just a bunch of kids who were only ten years old.
Moreover, that large Weapon wielding an Axe, felling Mama's lovers like a War God, and the Woman wrapped in black Clothes wearing a Crow Mask, standing together with Oiran (Courtesan) Stussy, also seemed like they were not to be trifled with.
Just as Katakuri was praying for Charlotte Linlin to resolve her Opponent quickly,
the terrifying Aura that came from the Distant caused both the Freedom Pirates Crew member and the Charlotte Family Member to subconsciously look up at the Battlefield at Cake Castle, and fall into a brief daze.
And those Guests further away, because they could see even more clearly, their Inner Thoughts were even more filled with Terror. They even forgot about the Heavy Rain falling from the Sky, standing woodenly in the pouring Rain, letting the heavy Rain soak through their Clothes.
This… this level of Battle, is it really something Humans can achieve?
