Crash!
The seawater frantically poured into the cracks, stirring up monstrous waves.
Vaguely, through the splash, BIGMOM's half body could be seen trapped within the rocky fissure, with a huge fist imprint sunk into her chest.
This punch, painful!
Very painful!
The shockwaves from merely smashing through a mountain were enough to split the entire island in two.
BIGMOM, who took this punch head-on, needed no further mention.
Even with her Steel Balloon body, she was gritting her teeth in pain, her wrinkled face twisted into a grimace.
"Actually broke four… no, it's five ribs altogether?"
BIGMOM endured the sharp pain, trembling as she extended her thick hand, and when she opened it, a Soul Bubble emerged.
Half pink, half purple, about the size of an average human head.
"Mah mah mah mah! An extraordinary punch, brat! I haven't suffered such serious injuries in ages!"
However.
She grinned ferociously.
This degree of injury can heal at any moment!
"I grant you life, awaken, heal, my bones!!!"
BIGMOM shouted, the Soul Bubble merged into her chest, the broken bones emitted cracking noises, and in the next moment, burst into joyful and childish singing—
"Yes, Mama!"
"Don't worry, Mama!"
"We'll be fully mended soon!"
Accompanied by sounds like children frolicking, the fractured ribs swiftly healed, and the sunken chest reemerged.
"Mah mah mah mah! Well done, truly good children!"
BIGMOM laughed heartily in satisfaction.
In the next instant.
She suddenly supported herself off the ground, leaping out of the fissure. Her hefty body agilely flipped mid-air, landing steadily atop a plantain tree.
"Did you see that, brat!"
BIGMOM tapped her restored chest, emitting a deep thumping sound:
"That's my ability! Even if my heart is torn, it can be repaired; to defeat me with mere efforts like this, you're a hundred years too early!"
Shano hovered in mid-air, casting a compassionate glance at the plantain tree, then lifted his eyes to look at her again.
Hollow-Hollow Fruit developed to such a level, indeed a bizarre and multifarious ability, countless beyond reckoning.
Obviously already a "Steel Balloon", yet still able to master such eerie self-healing soul domain abilities, it's quite unreasonable...
No wonder she mistreats her body daily and still reigns over the sea for decades.
"Certainly remarkable, but there's one thing that intrigues me."
He, full of interest, observed BIGMOM's chest, "Just how many times can the body parts you've bestowed with souls repair themselves?"
There must be an end!
Where's the limit?
He wants to see!
Whoosh!
Before the words were finished, Shano's figure suddenly disappeared.
Huh?
Such impressive speed!
BIGMOM's pupils instinctively shrank, but quickly returned to normal, chuckling softly, "Mah mah mah mah, after all, to the likes of you and me, there are weaknesses."
"Just like you now, no matter how desperately you try to conceal, your presence remains as radiant as a star in the night, easily locking onto!"
She might as well use that move.
Although Napoleon hasn't arrived yet, it doesn't matter; early on, when she learned this move, it was crafted with fists!
"Elbaf's Spear..."
She suddenly turned, grinning fiercely, clenching her fists tight!
"Overlord's Might!!!"
"Overlord's Might!!!"
Two deafening roars rose simultaneously, BIGMOM and the flashing figure of Shano at this moment adopted a completely identical starting stance!
The right hand initially pulled backwards in the opposite direction, muscles bulging up, until the power compressed, and upon reaching its peak, unleashed forcefully!
The only difference being.
BIGMOM blasted forth a pure purple energy wave in an arc form.
While Shano, this seemingly inexhaustible Supreme King color fellow, also entwined black and red lightning in this move!
Boom!!!!
Two earth-shattering shockwaves collided forcefully, space seemed torn at that moment, the violent waves expanding outward, nearly sweeping away all vegetation on the island.
Impossible?!
BIGMOM's face twitched crazily, watching helplessly as her fist was inch by inch pushed back.
Her prideful skill, mastered already in childhood, at this moment suppressed by the opponent using the same technique!
After all, the opponent's excessive use of Haki Entanglement is hardly surprising...
The crucial point being —
"Hey, you guy! You've never been to Elbaf, why do you also know this!" she couldn't help but shout in annoyance.
Could it be that...
The world's strongest nation, which she longed for for many years but never managed to ally with after Lola's departure, unknowingly conspired with Endgame?!
"Why don't you guess?"
A calm voice sounded from behind.
Not good!
BIGMOM abruptly awoke; she was too obsessed with the Giant Race, causing her distraction, and didn't notice when Shano repositioned again.
Hurriedly withdrawing to counterattack, yet ultimately a step too late.
Turning back, she came face-to-face with Shano's Supreme King entwined whip leg!
Bang!
This leg struck solidly on BIGMOM's chest, her enormous body spinning away, crashing into half a mountain peak.
"Wuwah!"
In the pile of rubble, she spat out a mouthful of blood, supporting herself off the ground, while those bones that were just singing joyfully now cried out in grievance:
"Mama, it hurts so much!"
"It's going to break, it's going to break!"
"Boohoo, this bad guy, why hit the same place!"
BIGMOM roared in fury, "Shut up! Is this a time for whining? Hurry and repair quickly!"
"Yes... yes, Mama!"
The bones whimpered in response, and under the influence of the Power of the Soul, the fractured chest bones healed once more.
