Chapter 374: The Clash that Split the Sky!

Hearing this undisguised provocation from Luffy, Charlotte Linlin, standing on the massive bow of the Queen Mama Chanter, slowly lowered her head.

At this moment, in the mind of this Emperor of the Sea who ruled the New World, there was no thought of political marriage with the Vinsmoke family, nor of the meticulously prepared Tea Party.

The heart-wrenching pain of losing her three beloved sons—Katakuri, Oven, and Daifuku—had transformed within her chest into the purest murderous intent on this vast sea.

Her massive, mountain-of-flesh body suddenly erupted with a terrifying, chilling aura.

The thundercloud Zeus and the sun Prometheus, hovering in mid-air, keenly sensed their master's boundless rage.

Their forms instantly expanded several times over, emitting deafening roars and rumblings.

"Straw Hat...!!"

Big Mom slowly raised her head, her face caked in heavy makeup now twisted like a demon from hell.

"I will tear your tendons and pull your bones, keep you forever crushed under the cold deep sea, and make you suffer endlessly!!"

Accompanied by Big Mom's sky-shaking roar, a jet-black wave of Conqueror's Haki surged crazily in all directions with her at the center.

The wind howled, and the waves churned.

Large numbers of weaker soldiers in the Totto Land fleet could not withstand this pressure that struck directly at the soul.

They rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed, falling in droves like wheat harvested by a storm.

Facing this overwhelming, mountain-toppling pressure of an Emperor-level, Luffy shed his usual carefree, grinning expression.

He pressed down on his Straw Hat, his clear eyes becoming incredibly sharp within the shadow.

He did not retreat; instead, he stepped forward heavily, meeting that violent pressure head-on.

Boom!

A wave of Conqueror's Haki, equally violent and filled with an indomitable will for freedom, erupted from within Luffy.

Two supreme powers, representing the pinnacle of will in the New World, collided on the open sea between the two opposing forces.

Dark red lightning crazily intertwined and raged in the air, erupting with deafening thunder.

The air waves surged backward, and the powerful impact shot straight into the sky, forcefully splitting the thick, oppressive clouds in two, revealing a massive crack stretching across the horizon!

Looking at the split sky above, Big Mom's bloodshot eyes widened, and a flash of undeniable shock flickered deep within them:

"How is this possible... this wet-behind-the-ears brat from the East Sea."

"His Conqueror's Haki can actually match mine?!"

Not only Big Mom, but the high-ranking officers of Totto Land on the main deck were also stunned by this scene that felt like a miracle.

The eldest son, Charlotte Perospero, gripped his candy cane staff tightly.

He widened his eyes and screamed:

"W-what kind of joke is this! What is that crack in the sky!"

"How could a collision of this level come from a Supernova!"

Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders, gritted her teeth, a drop of cold sweat sliding down her fair cheek:

"This Straw Hat actually possesses Conqueror's Haki on the same level as Mama?!"

"This is simply a monster!"

But after the brief shock, the battle-hardened high-ranking officers of Totto Land quickly regained their composure.

Cold murderous intent flashed in their eyes simultaneously:

They must not let such a deadly threat with Emperor-level potential continue to grow; they must be ruthlessly extinguished right here!

Charlotte Cracker, the Biscuit Knight, drew his massive famed sword, "Pretzel," swung it heavily forward, and issued the attack order:

"All fleets, listen up! Open fire! Blow that little ship into splinters for me!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following the order, dozens of massive Totto Land warships, like fortresses on the sea, simultaneously turned their cannons.

Countless pitch-black, heavy cannonballs, mixed with the rampaging army of weapon Homies.

Poured down like a violent black rain from all directions toward the seemingly tiny thousand sunny on the sea.

However, facing this barrage of fire capable of instantly leveling an island, the Straw Hat Pirates displayed an ironclad defense.

"One Sword Style: Flying Dragon Blaze!"

Zoro leaped onto the railing, his three famed swords flashing with deadly cold light in mid-air as sharp, cyan flying dragon sword energy roared out.

It instantly sliced through the large volley of incoming cannonballs with precision, detonating them into harmless fireworks.

Sanji stomped hard on the deck, turning into a swift black meteor as he charged into the enemy formation.

His legs ignited with scorching, high-temperature flames.

Diable Jambe created a brilliant net of fire in the air, kicking the eerie Homies attempting to approach the ship into smithereens.

Law looked cold and stern, his slender fingers flicking lightly: "ROOM: Shambles!"

A massive, hemispherical blue space instantly expanded, enveloping the surrounding sea area.

Those dense cannonballs approaching the Thousand Sunny were directly swapped with the distant enemy warships through Law's ability.

In an instant, violent chain explosions erupted within the enemy fleet, flames shooting into the sky.

Facing the overwhelming thunderstorm attack mixed with lightning Homies, Nami raised her Weather Stick high.

The thundercloud "Futo," which had been obediently resting on her shoulder, let out a cute "Meow."

Then, Futo's soft, cotton-candy-like form instantly expanded in the wind, turning into a terrifying dark purple thunderstorm in the blink of an eye!

As a pure natural lightning lifeform created by Tatsuya using Yin-Yang Release.

When Futo raged in the sky, the high-level lightning energy it emitted made even Big Mom's pride and joy, the "thundercloud Zeus," feel fear and trembling under its instinctive suppression.

"Meow-roar!"

Futo rolled through the clouds, precisely bringing down bolts of violent purple lightning.

These purple bolts not only blasted the cannonballs that had slipped through the net into pieces.

Futo even opened its mouth wide, swallowing the incoming enemy lightning Homies as if they were delicious snacks, and then satisfyingly let out a burp.

"SUPER—! General Beam!"

Franky stood steadily in the center of the deck, opening the heavy launchers on his shoulders.

Two dazzling beams carrying destructive heat shot out like sharp swords, instantly piercing through the enemy's defensive line on one side, leaving two massive, charred holes.

Robin crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes focused, and she instantly activated the power of the Hana Hana no Mi.

"Gigante Tree: Mil Fleur!"

Two massive hands composed of countless arms instantly appeared out of thin air on the sea.

These two giant hands steadily caught the huge ship wreckage that had been blown into the air.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, they threw it back into the dense enemy fleet like a shot put.

Usopp pulled back his massive slingshot, his eyes sharp.

He fired various strange and vibrant plant seeds; as soon as the seeds touched the sea, they grew wildly, spawning huge and tough vine shields that tightly protected the Thousand Sunny.

Brook leaped lightly from the ship, stepping on the undulating sea as if it were flat ground.

His Soul Solid was drawn, and the chilling cold of the Underworld was unleashed.

Cold white mist spread, instantly freezing the Homies that were trying to sneak up from underwater to damage the ship's hull, along with the churning seawater around them, into solid ice.

The entire Straw Hat crew showed their skills, coordinating flawlessly.

Under such earth-shattering firepower, the thousand sunny remained unscathed, like a rock in a storm.

After successfully blocking the first fierce wave of attacks, Luffy did not pause for a moment.

He took a deep breath and bit into his thumb, which was already covered in Armament Haki hardening.

Violent air was continuously pumped into his muscles, his body rapidly expanding, muscles bulging, and Haki patterns spreading across his entire body.

"Gear 4: Boundman!"

Accompanied by a powerful jet of air, Luffy shot into the air like a highly elastic, heavy cannonball.

Meanwhile, Tatsuya, who had been standing quietly in the back, walked slowly to the bow of the ship.

He slowly raised his head, and the tomoe in his scarlet eyes began to spin crazily.

Hum—!

A suffocatingly massive wave of purple Chakra erupted from within Tatsuya, shooting straight into the clouds.

The purple Chakra rapidly condensed in the air, sprouting meridians, deriving flesh, and finally donning a layer of impenetrable, heavy armor.

With a loud "swish," a pair of massive Chakra wings capable of blocking out the sun suddenly unfolded over the sea.

A "Full Body Susanoo," wearing a majestic Tengu mask and wielding a giant sword, rose up from the ground amidst the raging wind and waves!

Its mountain-like size, standing on the rough sea, did not lose out in the slightest to Big Mom's pride-and-joy flagship.

The chilling pressure, like a true god descending upon the world, made the opposing Totto Land fleet feel a trembling from the depths of their souls.

Luffy rubbed his fists in mid-air.

The massive Full Body Susanoo flapped its violent wings.

Two unstoppable, brilliant meteors, accompanied by deafening sonic booms, charged straight toward Big Mom on the flagship!

"First, I'll beat you into the air!"
