"Mama mama! You can't hide from me, little Shano!"
As for the landing position after flickering, it should be—
"Right here!"
She bared her teeth in a strange grin, pulling back and turning around, her massive body bursting with agility unfit for her size, she somersaulted three or four times in succession, grasped the sword hilt in reverse, and stabbed at the black figure that had just appeared.
"Mama's surprise attack!"
This advanced preparation allowed her to gain the upper hand. If faced with a slightly less experienced opponent, they would have suffered severe injuries right after appearing.
However, though young, Shano had fought many strong opponents along the way, and in this aspect, he wasn't lacking and was well-prepared.
Then.
The response BIGMOM got was still those two words—
"Kamusari!"
After the Lightning Cannon accumulated energy, the unleashed power was enough to offset the frontal impact of Kamusari.
But this sudden sword attack was clearly unqualified.
"Wah!"
BIGMOM cried out in pain, Napoleon slipped from her hand, caught off guard, and her whole body was blasted away like a cannonball, piercing through seven or eight Egg Tart Ships yet still not slowing down.
Flying over the ice, across the sea, leaving the battlefield, and finally falling towards a large island more than ten kilometers away...
Boom!!!
BIGMOM's massive body crashed into the beach like a meteor, raising a sand pillar dozens of meters high.
The entire island trembled under the impact, and monstrous waves rose near the sea.
"Cough, cough cough..."
Amidst the sand and dust, BIGMOM shakily stood up, spat out a mouthful of bloody spit,
She looked down at her chest, where there was a hideous wound stretching across her chest and abdomen, with flesh turned open and blood continuously oozing out.
A nameless fire erupted instantly, BIGMOM gritted her teeth and shouted angrily at the figure flying in the sky:
"What's this about! Little Shano, the so-called World's No.1 Sword Master, is that all you know how to do!"
Kamusari, Kamusari... endless Kamusari!
This killer move of an ultimate skill must consume a lot of stamina. It's fine to use it for show at the beginning, but constantly using it, come on!
Do you really think you can just keep using Kamusari to cut me down? No one in this world can pull that off, what a joke!
"I just wanted to see how many slashes it would take to break your Steel Balloon."
A calm voice came.
Shano landed gently, stepping onto the sand.
Looking at BIGMOM's torn flesh wound, he finally nodded in satisfaction, casually tossing his tachi up.
Clang!
The tachi fell straight down, automatically returning to its sheath.
"I'm someone who likes to pursue fairness. Since you've lost your sword, it's only fair that I don't use mine either."
Really?
BIGMOM looked doubtful.
Until she saw Shano twisting his neck, producing a loud, crackling noise like exploding beans, and indeed not drawing his sword, posing in a fist stance, leaving her astonished.
"There's no third person here, so I can speak plainly."
She stared at Shano's face, "It's not just your strength; I've always admired your spirit. If a new era truly has arrived... then you will be the only legend! Only you! There's no one else who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
But indeed...
This guy could go toe-to-toe with Kaido in physical combat; he clearly wasn't as reliant on swordsmanship as I thought.
"Ah, menopausal old woman, quick to change faces, now you're praising people?"
Shano continued to work his neck, unimpressed, "Does this mean the matter of Bonney can be negotiated?"
"Don't kid yourself, brat."
BIGMOM sneered, standing up straight, showing her teeth, "At our level, indeed, there's no need to resort to fights and killings like the lowly pirates; many things can be discussed, but—Bonney, that little girl—I will never hand her over!"
The thing you most desire, how could you let it go!
Having finally regained what was lost, losing it again for even a day is unacceptable.
That adorable little girl with the same love for food and pink hair as myself has to stay with me until I go to the grave!
"I knew it would be like this."
Shano sneered, glancing around, "Speaking of which, why is this island so deserted? Where are the residents? Didn't eat them all, did you?"
"?"
BIGMOM's temples bulged with veins, "What are you implying? What do you take me for! You little brat, look closely again, doesn't this island seem familiar to you!"
Oh?
Shano swiftly arrived at a higher vantage point, carefully scanning his surroundings, and then suddenly understood.
He landed back on the beach, nodded towards BIGMOM: "I see, so this is the island that the Golden Lion dropped long ago."
"That's right!"
Thud, thud, BIGMOM's expression was ferocious as she spread her legs, assuming a starting stance, the dark Armament Haki instantly coating her arms:
"This island took a lot of effort to move to the outskirts of the Totto Land sea region and serve as the thirty-fifth territory of Ten Thousand Nations, just beginning to be planned and constructed. There's no one here yet, which is just perfect! Isn't it, we can really let loose and go all out!"
Swordsmanship to her was merely a bonus.
With a naturally unique body even without much fruit cultivation, her body techniques could be rivaled by few in this world!
"Indeed, suits me perfectly!"
Shano laughed heartily, his fists clenching with a loud snap, and an extreme Armament Haki surged forth like a tidal wave:
"Then, let's talk with our fists!"
Swoosh!
Both burst into action simultaneously, charging at each other like meteors at speeds difficult for the naked eye to follow!
As Sea Emperors, they both boasted physique strength that ordinary people could only look up to.
And besides that.
BIGMOM's giant fist was also shrouded in a thin layer of Soul Fire, enhancing both defense and impact as if wearing Finger Tiger, while Shano's fist was entwined with black-red lightning, colliding dramatically in the center of the beach!
Boom!!!!!!!!!
A terrifying shockwave exploded instantly, flipping the surrounding beach for hundreds of meters, revealing the primal rock beneath.
The sea waves were pushed outwards, forming a tens of meters high ring of tsunamis.
"Ma ma ma ma! What a thrill!"
BIGMOM's pink hair danced wildly as she threw her head back laughing, and her other fist swung over:
"How many years, how many years since I've fought this freely!"
Snap!
Shano sidestepped, delivering a fierce roundhouse kick to BIGMOM's fatty side!
Thud!
A loud bang!
She grunted, her features twisted yet unmoving, and took the chance to grab his ankle.
"That kick hurts a lot! But it allowed me to catch you!"
A vicious glint flashed in BIGMOM's eyes as she swung Shano towards the ground:
"Thundering Hakken!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shano was used like a hammer, slammed into the ground three times.
Though he wasn't hurt, the rock layers beneath couldn't withstand it and cracked, rapidly spreading towards the center of the island, causing earthquake-like tremors.
"Can't think of a name, so you plagiarized that guy, but since you've used the name, this level is far from enough! Hey, Lingling, give it more power!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then as you wish!"
BIGMOM laughed ferociously, holding Shano up to the highest point.
Just as she was about to slam him down for the fourth time, Shano's gaze sharpened, his waist and abdomen suddenly burst into strength, flipping and freeing himself while clamping her wrist with his legs like scissors.
The next moment!
Using the rotational force to generate momentum, he fiercely tossed the massive physique of this Sea Emperor into mid-air!
"You really dare, don't even think about it! In close combat, I can't possibly lose to you, old hag!"
He laughed heartily, his fists suddenly glowing with blinding black-red light, Armament Haki perfectly merging with Supreme King Entanglement on his fists, as his entire being shot up like a cannonball.
Swoosh!
In just an instant, he surpassed BIGMOM's height and positioned himself right above her, his mouth splitting into a grin revealing a mouthful of jagged white teeth.
"Galaxy...Impact!"
Brought down with full force!
Directly on BIGMOM's abdomen!
That large and hefty body plummeted like a meteor to the island's center, with terrifying force completely shredding the already damaged rock layers.
The whole island quaked intensely in deafening rumble.
Immediately after, fissures spread rapidly from the point of impact towards the north and south shores, escalating! Expanding!
Rumbling ———!
With a thunderous crash, the island, which had once survived being dropped from ten thousand meters high by the Golden Lion, was forcibly split in two under this punch...
