This strike penetrated directly through the surface.
BIGMOM's back of the head was deeply caved in, her eyes blurred, lying there gasping violently.
Her messy pink hair was scattered, and the blood constantly spilled from the corners of her mouth spread, staining a large expanse of rock.
She tried to struggle with all her might, but her chubby body still couldn't stand up.
"Mama mama... Really, for so many years, no one has made me so embarrassed, you damned brat!"
Veins bulged on her forehead, and with all her might, she yelled out, finally leaping from the deep pit, crashing onto the ground, and fiercely glaring at the floating Shano.
"And you too, you damn fat woman!"
Shano grinned, meeting her gaze.
He was also covered in blood, his black cloak in tatters, with bruises and purple marks from his cheeks, chin to neck and chest.
His fists were a blur of blood and flesh.
After all, his opponent was one of the old Four Emperors!
Engaging in a life-and-death struggle with such a monster, no matter how powerful his healing ability was, it was impossible to remain clean and presentable amidst continuous battle!
"Prometheus! Hera! Where did you all run off to!!!"
BIGMOM pulled out Napoleon, roaring up into the sky.
"Mama, we are here!"
Prometheus and Hera's voices came from afar, having just been blasted away by Shano's Supreme King shock wave.
"Mama! We… don't have enough power..."
"Mama, I'm so hungry, let's use that move quickly?"
The three Homiz cried out pitifully.
"Mama mama, there's no need for you to remind me of this. Even I have reached the point where I must use it."
BIGMOM laughed hideously, eyes half-closed, reopening suddenly with a hiss! White soul flames burst from her pupils.
Her right arm raised high, an overwhelming soul deterrence swept forth!
"LIFE OR DEAD!!!"
A great roar!
Buzz!
In almost a fleeting moment.
The night sky lit up with countless white points, like summoned groups of fireflies or drawn stars, madly pouring into her body.
Her skinny and scarred skin filled visibly, the sunken chest and back of the head quickly recovered, even her pink hair regained luster.
"Mama mama, it's back, all back, just this feeling!!!"
She laughed loudly, a terrifying soul pressure radiated from her body, making even the air tremble in her wild laughter.
At the same time.
Prometheus's flames soared several times, and the thunderclouds became more ferocious and frightening; even Napoleon grew larger and sharper.
The power of the three Homiz reached its peak again, even surpassing it!
But...
"Not enough! Not enough! With just this, I still can't defeat that brat!"
BIGMOM screeched, spreading open her palms, purple soul bubbles emerged, growing larger under her gaze:
"The souls of a bunch of lowly Pirates only nourish to this extent. To become stronger... I must rely on my own lifespan?"
How much lifespan to consume?
A year, two years, or three years?
Unstable!
Unsafe!
Since she held the resolve of a life-and-death duel with the brat, she might as well bet everything in one go!
Ten years!
She was about to wager a full ten years of her remaining lifespan!
Even if her soul was nearly dried up, it didn't matter. As long as Ten Thousand Nations still existed, what was lost today could be doubled back from soul tax in the future!
"Mama mama! Come on, brat!"
BIGMOM laughed wildly, pressing the purple soul bubble into her mouth and swallowing it!
In an instant!
Her body inflated like a balloon, rapidly expanding, muscles knotted up, and her aura grew even more terrifying.
Her already imposing figure now swelled to twenty meters tall, reaching Giant Race heights!
"See, this is my resolve!"
She looked down at Shano who slowly landed on the ground, her eyes emitting soul white flames, and she yelled, "A full ten years of lifespan! That's enough to crush you into pulp, brat!"
"Ten years, huh?"
Shano raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flickered in his gaze, "You can actually live for more than ten years? Quite generous, old witch, but..."
He grinned, raising his bloody fists once more, and black-red Inazuma entwined them:
"Whether it's ten or twenty years! Bet all your lifespan you want, the result won't change!"
Even among Sea Emperors, there exists a distinction between strength and weakness.
Be it the normal fat old hag or the glowing enlarged version after gambling life, if he could suppress the former, he had enough confidence to defeat the latter too!
Even though her surname is Charlotte, it's not like she's some Monkey.
What are you using to bypass the lock blood, playing sit-ups with me!!!
"Stop boasting! Brat! Let me show you my true power!"
BIGMOM roared, gripping Napoleon tight, lightning and flames on the blade surged fiercely, clashing against Shano with all her strength!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The island, initially split into two, began to split further.
Countless rocks were blown up by the shock wave, dragging tails of flames, turning into meteors falling into the sea.
After a brief deadlock.
Shano's body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through ten giant rocks, finally falling into the sea.
This time, is it myself being blown away?
BIGMOM, after burning ten years of lifespan, finally managed to dominate him in power and Haki intensity.
But...
"It's just a little bit surpassing!"
In the next instant, the sea erupted in a column of water!
Shano burst out of the water, covered in blood, yet his gaze still fierce!
"This little advantage isn't enough for the ultimate battle! Your state can't last long, old witch! Before it ends, try and hammer me to death!"
Otherwise...
If the state fueled by lifespan fails to hold, being hammered to death would be her fate!
"Is that so?!"
BIGMOM gripped Napoleon again, amidst blinding flames, and slashed viciously:
"In that case, this strike sends you to hell! Bright Light Sword!!!"
"Hell?"
Shano laughed loudly, not dodging, swinging his fists forward!
"There's no place for me there, the one who should go to hell is you, Ghost Witch!"
Divine Punishment!
Boom!!!
This time the shock wave's terror leapt even further, the sea at the coast being pushed apart, revealing the continental shelf rock layer.
Just as the sea water was about to flood back, it was again evaporated by even more violent energy in the next second!
