The Prodigal Son: Zeus! #10
@kakashi19283

Whole Cake Palace - Sky
A clash that split the sky. The firework would be seen for miles. Yet, Big Mom was the victor. The Yonko was second to no pirate. Her might pushed the monkey back, wounding him in the process. However, upon stepping back, the Great Yonko found no footing. The Empress fell to the depths, flailing her legs and arms comically, Prometheus and Napoleon flying behind her. What would become of the Great Yonko?

Zeus had been busy consuming the clouds, now gigantic. Sasaki came up and greeted Zeus, reminding him of Big Mom.

Suddenly, Zeus’s eyes turned from clouds to wide. Sweat seemed to run down from his face. Zeus comically slowly turned to Sasaki. His eyes darted and tried to find Big Mom. To no avail. The Great Yonko was nowhere to be found. Zeus‘ teeth began chittering, turning to Sasaki.

[Zeus] “Oh, No! Maamaaa! S-s-s-s-she will be SOOOO MAD! You gotta help me! Y-y-y-you don’t know Mama when she is angry!”

[Zeus] “This is your fault! W-w-hat do I do?!”

Zeus looked around. His eyes comically changed from shock to heart, eating and then taking himself up out of it at the thought of angry Big Mom. Zeus clamored for help, in a mixture at Sasaki of anger and gluttony. Yet, he comically kept eating, similar to Big Mom at the banquet.

How would Sasaki convince Zeus to join his plight?

P.S. The first paragraph will be the same in @QuickZilver708 's part but I left the two posts overall separated.

With the La Spada Pirates and the Marines entering Totto Land from multiple entry points, including the sky, there was bound to be a time when things would start to unravel quickly. Multiple players and their factions were involved, and there were multiple hotspots of conflict. That point of unraveling was now. And it all came due to a betrayal of one of Big Mom's own. It was not one of Big Mom's sons that betrayed the family. It was not one of Big Mom's daughters that betrayed the family. It was not even a betrayal on purpose. Nay, it was an accident. And the perpetrator was Big Mom's own soul. A fragment of it to be exact. One of the Homies borne of Big Mom's own soul - the thundercloud Homie, Zeus. As a result of the conflict up in the sky, fought between Big Mom and Sasaki, one wrong step by Big Mom sent her plummeting down toward the ground from thousands of feet high up. Sasaki, who had been tempting Zeus with delicious thunderclouds throughout the battle, had unveiled a large thundercloud at just the right time, causing the gluttonous Homie to dart up into the air, leaving Big Mom to misstep and fall off. And now, the Empress of Pirates. One of the strongest in the world. A giant of a woman, whom even Giants feared. An old had filled with power. Over 28 feet in height. Likely close to a ton in weight. She was falling from the sky.

ZZZZEEEEUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!!!

Big Mom screamed, her voice alone boasting such enormous power that it could be heard islands away. The scream was carried in waves by a wave of Conqueror's Haki. Not all parts of Totto Land could hear it. But some islands could. And among those islands were Whole Cake Island and Potato Island.

Moments after the scream, Big Mom's titanium hard body would come crashing into the ground on Whole Cake Island, creating an enormous mushroom cloud that reached hundreds of meters up into the air. The mushroom cloud could be seen from Potato Island, where the scream, too, had reached.

By that time, the attacks had converged on Snack, slaying him. But, La Spada had survived. Her soul inhabited her own body once again as the obscurity cleared, revealing the ghastly woman. A sword in hand and the other hand behind her back, La Spada cackled madly, taunting Big Mom's children. She would take them on with one hand. For Big Mom's scream to reach the ears of her children with this timing, was bad luck. Not only did La Spada's intimidation hit them, but it was piled on by their worry for their mother. Things were unraveling, and they were going out of control. Gritting their teeth and tightening the grips on their weapons, Big Mom's children looked at one another, wondering what to do. One had to take the lead.

Mama will be fine, my brothers and sisters! We know best, that her body is an armor no person in this world can destroy! Perospero said.

There is a fiend in front of us who defiled the corpse of one of our own... all to play a dirty game. Daifuku said.

You are right. We will play our part and make a stand here. Smoothie said.

The time to strike is now! Amande said.

With both Tamago and Amande running to flank La Spada, they made a turn toward her. One would approach from one side, while the other approached from the other side. With La Spada only being able to use one hand, an attack from two opposite directions would be difficult to deal with. Of course, they could not count on La Spada to keep her promise. Once in range, Amande swung her sword. She was a woman of incredible height, and her sword was a weapon of incredible length. She would not be in range of La Spada's sword, but La Spada was definitely in range of Amande's own. The thin blade cut through the air, aiming to decapitate La Spada - black Busou-shoku no Haki cladding the long blade. From the opposite direction, Tamago approached with perfect timing. Once in range, he spun around and bent his knees, going for a low sweeping slash with one of his blades - he too not holding back, and cladding his blades with black Busou-shoku no Haki. He aimed for La Spada's legs, aiming to cut them off at the shins.

As the two attacked, Daifuku and Smoothie started to charge forward toward La Spada from the front, while Perospero stayed where he was, starting to summon a large amount of liquid candy.

Amande's DPR: 61-80: 2. Small Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 7. Mountain Level

Tamago's DPR: 61-80: 2. Small Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 7. Mountain Level

(Biscuit Island) @Sea

Akira, spinning and flying rapidly like a black drill, came crashing through the building and through the Cracker that was hiding behind it. Cracker's three arms, wielding shields, put up a block, clad with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The beak collided with the shields, but pierced through them and right into Cracker's body. But no blood came. Had Akira been wrong? Had he failed to pinpoint the real Cracker? Cracker's other three arms, wielding swords, came down, aiming to pierce Akira and skewer him into the ground gruesomely. Cracker was enraged, the dead corpse of Opera hitting the ground, still burnt into his eyes. Akira, quick on his feet, transformed back into his normal Hybrid form, decreasing the size of his beak and getting it out of Cracker's cracked body. This allowed Akira to move his wings over himself, using them as a barrier against Cracker's three swords.

The swords collided with the wings, but failed to pierce them. The collision between the swords and the wings caused further cracks on Cracker's body, which had already been heavily damaged by the piercing, drilling beak. But at that moment, Akira's deduction would come to be true. This time, undoubtedly, he would be able to confirm it. From the Cracker that was right in front of him, multiple clear, loud claps came again, echoing through the street.

Akira took a step forward and swung his wings in a cross fashion, aiming to cut through the Cracker that was in front of him. Akira's wings would connect, but at the moment of the collision, Akira would feel like his wings collided with not a body, but something metallic. The powerful collision would cause Cracker's cracked body to start to fall apart rapidly, and Akira would realize the truth. The real one had been hiding inside the puppet warrior. As Cracker's puppet body was blown away by the collision, Akira would find himself clashing against the real Cracker, his sword drilling forward in the form of a powerful stab.

Sword collided with wings, raging black Busou-shoku no Haki clashed with raging black Busou-shoku no Haki.

DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level

Cracked would be overpowered by Akira and blown away, the cutting force of Akira's attack inflicting multiple surface slash wounds to various parts of Cracker's body. Stabbing his sword into the ground, Cracker would use it to come to a skidding stop, growling madly.

You scum...

Cracker said. Suddenly, biscuit dust would come whirling around Cracker, an action caused by the earlier claps before the clash. Ten more Cracker brutes would come to shape, forming a small battalion right behind the real Cracker.

A lot of the biscuit dust would not be used, and simply came floating down to the ground, covering Cracker's part of the street in a thick layer. As the battle between Cracker and Akira approached its pinnacle, Katakuri, traversing the mirror dimension, was looking for none other than La Spada's shadow himself.

Moments after the scream, Big Mom's titanium hard body would come crashing into the ground on Whole Cake Island, creating an enormous mushroom cloud that reached hundreds of meters up into the air. The mushroom cloud could be seen from the Whole Cake Chateau, where the scream, too, had reached.

Everyone at the wedding venue would have heard Big Mom's scream, and seen the mushroom cloud. In fact, unlike those on Potato Island, the people at the wedding venue would have been able to see Big Mom falling, albeit a few kilometers away - she was a woman big enough, and her pink energy was a power bright enough, to be seen from that distance away physically. Needless to say, the scene shook those at the wedding venue to the core.

All in different ways. Big Mom's children watched on in horror, worried about the wellbeing of their mama. The bosses of the Underworld and other attendees watched on in horror, worried about their own wellbeing. The transpiring of this event would undoubtedly send Big Mom on a rage tantrum. The Beast Pirates were the ones to react the least, though one among them had a visible reaction. And it was the one that others least expected to show a reaction. Kaidou.

WAAAAAHHH, THEY GOT YOU TOO, LINLIN!

Kaidou said with tear waterfalls streaming down from his eyes, referring to what the new generation had done to him. He was clearly drunk, and depressed, acting unlike the fearless warrior and commander that he was. But, the biggest reaction that remained to be seen, was from two people in particular.

Capone Bege. And Kallavan. Capone Bege watched the enormous mushroom cloud in the distance, his eyes filled with horror. He did not see this coming. And now, everything was thrown into the wind. He could no longer predict anything that was about to happen. Big Mom was not even on Whole Cake Chateau. What of their plan? By the looks of the startled Bege, it would need to be Kallavan that would take over the command and control of the mission. But could he make the right decisions on the fly? And could he convince Bege to go along with his plans?

How would Sasaki convince Zeus to join his plight?

The Empress of Pirates fell from her foothold up in the sky, disappearing into the clouds below. Sasaki Geppou'd up to where Zeus was, seeing the thundercloud Homie having the feast of his life. When Sasaki spoke, reminding Zeus of what he had just done to his mama, a shot of fear suddenly erupted from within Zeus' soul. With a fearful stutter, Zeus asked Sasaki for help, stating that this was all his fault, and that they had to do something. But the deliciousness of the clouds was potent, and so Zeus continuously switched between fear and delight as he continued to munch on the large thundercloud. Zeus himself, at that point, was enormous. Suddenly, Big Mom's scream, riding the waves of her enormous Conqueror's Haki, would reach Zeus and Sasaki, followed by a loud noise of what could only be Big Mom's large body hitting the ground like a meteor.

This would without a doubt be a strong enough shock to take Zeus out of his meal completely and overwhelm him with worry and fear. With a drop of sweat rolling down the back of Sasaki's head, he would motion with his hands, trying to get Zeus to calm down.

Now now... stop worrying. Your mama is fine. Enraged, for sure... but she's safe and sound. For now.

Zeus-kun... the reason why I came here is because your mama is in danger. And if we don't do something about it, she will die today.

Sasaki said, revealing her was here to help.

But, I'll need your help to do it. Alright?

Sasaki said. There were bruises and blood on his body from his clash with Big Mom... but there was a smile on his face.

WCI 14
A scream ran through the wedding venue like a storm, taking all levity and noise with it. Only silence remained as everyone looked at the giant mushroom cloud in the distance. Everyone looked on in horror and shock, as they didn’t believe their very eyes. Even the stone cold mafia boss, Bege, was stunned with disbelief. The plan was in ruins, that much was for certain. The old lady wasn’t anywhere near the wedding venue, and to make matters worse it’d seem she was fighting someone. Who it was, was anyone’s guess. Only Kallavan didn’t respond in the same manner as the others. He didn’t even bat an eye at the situation. He knew full well her toughness, even if the explosion seemed beyond anything these people have ever seen before. She was a Yonko. It wasn’t a title the marines and the world gave to any regular corsair, she was among the elite; it'd take a lot more than that to take her down.

The reaction of another Yonko did receive a reaction from Kallavan, a look of disdain.

“Unbelievable. Drunken old fool. Dry those crocodile tears of yours. You’ll join her soon enough”

Kallavan would say, putting his hands into fists out of anger. The marine would afterwards stand from his chair with a jolt, the sudden movement enough to even topple his chair backwards.

“Oi Bege! Snap out of it. The old goat is still alive, no way an attack like that kills her.” Kallavan would shout before taking a slight pause.

“I don't think this wedding will continue, not any time soon at least. If you don't have a backup plan, I'll entertain these guests myself. Without Kaido there won't be a wedding and no joining of forces. I think your assassination plan won't even be necessary. If Spada really is here, Big Mom will have her hands full anyway.“

"So what'll it be? " Kallavan said as a closing statement. The plan was fubar, if the Admiral didn't act now he'd miss his chance of clashing with Kaido. He might leave the venue entirely to return to his room to drink himself into oblivion.

He had to act quickly. Or so it seemed, at least.

WCI – Biscuit Island #14
@kakashi19283

The attack broke, at perhaps not to a big surprise for the boy, the Cracker imploded from within, revealing another body of which Akira targeted, an actual human would appear from within, sword in the ready to deal with the attack cause by the boy – yet the power of the Zoan overpowered Cracker, causing Cracker to be blown away. The secret of Cracker is out, for the man would show himself, likely to prevent further injuries had he stick closely to being in the suit of a man, or at least now that the Cracker revealed himself to be within a suit of armor. The boy wasn’t fully expecting to be of such trickery, but in the back of his mind the inkling of such idea still persist during the entire fight. Slightly injured from the clash, the man would call out derogatory remarks in regards to Akira once more, but now with himself exposed – a dust of biscuits picked up once more, without the need of clapping. But these cloud of biscuit dust have been seen over and over, and this time Akira is going to check something out.

Before the battalion of Cracker would more stood between the boy and the Akira, Akira immediately attacked before they could have formed, simply to see if he could deal with the Crackers before it fully materializes. For a ‘summoning’ sort of powers it can be essential to see how his powers works on a more intricate level. With a single clap of his wings, Akira generated a powerful wind gale imbued with Haki right towards Cracker and his biscuit dust – aiming to shred and blow the biscuit dust away, and hopefully with Cracker himself getting hit by the wind gale. The results, whether successful in doing so or simply did not matter, would be relevant in figuring out Cracker’s weaknesses. In doing so, Akira merely spoke to Cracker – coldly and demanded the same of him like he did with Opera.

“Call Big Mom.”

Name: Wind Gale
Rank: B (True Hybrid) | A (Hybrid/Beast)
Description: Akira claps his wings, creating a powerful wind gale in front of him capable of shredding objects with ease. The power of the wind gale is dependent on the wing size. (51 mastery, 45 str | 71 mastery, 71 str)

This was not a pirate. This was a monster. La Spada would take on Big Mom’s army, including Sweet Commanders, with one hand behind her back. Come.

The first were Tamago and Amande, each coming from opposing side. Where one would expect La Spada to readied herself, she did none of that. Defiant. Bugs. Instead, the Empress-to-be inhaled, taking smoke on her cigar and puffing out smoke. The woman moved not a bone else. Instead, haki and soul power covered the areas where the blade and kick would hit. The attacks stopped dead on contact - no visible effect.

It was not a matter of winning. It was a matter of demoralizing the onlookers.

[La Spada] “How disappointing pathetic…”

Demoralizing. In the moment the blade and kick touched La Spada, already with soul power, what was against the bone was frozen, essentially “gluing” them to La Spada. Soul immediately erupted, and La Spada slashed to her sides in a flurry of spins and twists, looking as if she slashed once all around her. In reality, La Spada slashed in the form of an 8 dozens of times, aiming to sever both. The slashes would create airblades, shooting to the sides - there was no escaping by distance.

No mercy. The slashes would cut inside out, with Ryo, and freeze upon contact.

[La Spada] “Yomi Koka: OCTAVA!!!”

Soul power all around her, the Empress-to-be would aim to appear behind Amade and Tamago after the slashes and kick them towards the charging Daifunku and Smoothie.

Attacks: 7. Mountain Level
Spada Dura: 101-119: 6. City Level + 2 (armaments) + 1 (soul perk) = 9. Small Country Level

DPR 2 or more below dura: Not very effective

Spada Attack: 120: 5. Town Level + 3 (Ryo haki) + 3 (A Rank) = 11. Small Continent Level

Octava (Eight Slash): The user curves the blade at the end of the slash, bringing it back diagonally for the next strike. By using the momentum of each slash to increase the force of the next slash, each slash becomes stronger and faster than the last, for dozens of slashes done in the span of moments, leaving behind a streak in the form of an eight, hence its name.

Requirements: 61 Strength, 61 Movement, 61 Fencing

Rank: A

Whole Cake Palace - Sky
The prodigal son, Zeus. Would he return? Zeus was scared shitless, switching from gluttony to fear. In front of him, came Sasaki, the one at fault for both. The one at fault for the food, and the one at fault for Mama falling. Zeus ate until a shrill voice reached his soul, literally. Mama’a voice send a chill down his soul that made the humongous cloud comically shrink. Zeus shrunk but condensed the power, a sign of great things to come, turning deep black.

The cloud rose up. Mama had fallen.

[Zeus] “H-H-H-hide me! Y-y-you don’t understand! She’ll take her soul back! I-I-I’l be finished!“

Zeus spoke too freely, slathered with fear. Sasaki, however, began to console him, using manipulation to take the cloud out of his funk. Zeus was like a child, at least his soul, it seemed. Comically, like a child, his teeth chattered, his eyes darting from the plume of smoke to Sasaki. The homie cried with fear. This created a torrent of rain, each drop comically carrying Zeus’ worried face.

Suddenly, the Vice-Admiral, like a cunning wolf, offered a solution.

[Zeus] “O-O-O-Ok! D-d-d-do you think if we save her from that ‘pirate’ you mentioned… s-s-s-she’ll forgive me? But also… will the food keep coming?!”

[Zeus] “Never mind that! I have to save Mama!”

A son worried about his Mama and himself. He could not go to Mama now… he’d rather go with Sasaki. The food swayed Zeus most of all, though he did not admit it. Zeus, nervous, now looked at Sasaki.

[Zeus] “W-w-w-what would I have to do…?”

[Zeus] “W-w-w-what would I have to do…?”

Zeus was an emotional mess. On one end, he was a glutton and he loved thunderclouds. That was at his core, and he could not shake it. On the other end, he knew the severity of the situation, and was terrified of what could follow. In particular, Zeus mentioned that Big Mom, if enraged, could take her soul back, wiping Zeus out of existence.

This fact surprised Sasaki, having not thought of that possibility - though given the nature of Big Mom's powers, that was certainly an option that she could resort to. It didn't seem out of character for the old hag either. For now, Sasaki had to be the one with a head on his shoulders. He had to be reasonable, and most importantly, calm Zeus down. With a nonchalant and calm aura that would hopefully settle Zeus, Sasaki spoke.

Alright I get it. Let's take a deep breath shall we?

First, we need to go find her. I'm sure she'll forgive you as long as you help her out.

Sasaki said. He and Zeus were on the same team here - they both wanted to keep Big Mom safe. Her death would bring a storm to the world, a storm that Sasaki had reason to believe, would bring a new calamity.

I'll feed you some thunderclouds on the way to make sure you are strong and ready. Let's work together, ok?

Sasaki said, offering Zeus a truce.

Charlotte Perospero, Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Daifuku, Charlotte Amande, and Tamago, confronted with the deathly beast in front of them, went onto the offensive. She taunted them, but they would not falter in focus. They were part of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the pirate crews that ruled the world. A strong conviction was needed for such a crew, and these five had it. Flanking, Amande and Tamago approached La Spada from the left and right. Once closing the distance, Amande swung her unnaturally long sword, while Tamago slashed with his knives, the two aiming to decapitate and delimb La Spada. Black Busou-shoku no Haki roared within their blades, and they were set on cutting down the foe in front of them.

However, what came next was an image of absolute death.

Tamago's and Amande's blades struck La Spada, but to no avail. The ghastly woman's soul suddenly erupted, freezing both Tamago's blades and Amande's sword to her boney body. La Spada spun, swinging her sword and unleashing a flurry of slashes nigh instantaneously by Tamago's and Amande's significantly slower perceptions. Blood erupted. Amande was cut down, as was Tamago, both of them falling to the ground. No blood came from Tamago, but Amanade laid in a pool of it, with parts of the blood frozen from La Spada's might. Smoothie and Daifuku, rushing their frontal charge, saw Tamago and Amande get cut down. Roaring, the two attacked. Smoothie stopped, crouching down and putting the palm of her left hand onto the ground. Daifuku summoned his genie, it flying overhead. When Smoothie shifted her ground palm sideways, all of the moisture and liquid inside the ground was suddenly wringed out of it and into Smoothie, causing the ground to instantly become brittle and weak. Cracks would appear, and the ground under La Spada would crack, shaking her balance. Daifuku's genie, flying, came from above, towering over La Spada. The genie, willed by Daifuku's black Busou-shoku no Haki, swung his blade downward, aiming to crush La Spada under the weight and power of the large weapon.

The battle between Cracker and Akira continued, a fact that spoke volumes of Cracker's ability. He knew he was weaker. Every clash with Akira made that clear. Akira was a man that was able to defeat King, Kaidou's right hand man, a man significantly stronger than Cracker. However, Cracker was a smart fighter.

A man of many resources and secrets, which was what allowed him to fight for this long. But now, his secrets were out. His real identity was known. His trick was exposed. And the nature of his Devil Fruit ability, while not fully understood by Akira quite yet, was now also in the open. With the thick layer of biscuit dust now settled on the ground of the street around Cracker, and more biscuit dust starting to form more soldiers, Akira knew time was of the essence if he didn't want to be stalled here for too much longer. And with that, Akira attacked, flapping his wings to unleash a powerful gale of cutting wind.

Cracker, realizing that the gale would blow all of his efforts away, tightened the grip on his long sword, grabbing it with both of his hands and imbuing the blade with black Busou-shoku no Haki. Cracker swung his sword, unleashing a strong gale from his swing, with wisps of black Busou-shoku no Haki dancing inside the gale. Cracker aimed to clash equally with Akira, giving his soldiers the opportunity to form.

DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level

The two gales collided with one another like tidalwaves. This time, the clash was much more equal, a sign that Cracker was pushing himself to the limits. Akira's attack still came out on top, but what little power was left of it, did not manage to hinder the forming soldiers, who at this point stood strong. Grinning, Cracker answered Akira, who demanded Big Mom to be called.

You ain't getting to mama...

Cracker said with a grin on his face, motioning with his free left hand. The biscuit dust on the ground would suddenly started to form into hardened biscuit swords, tempered with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The black biscuit swords would be hurled toward Akira, aiming to skewer anything in front of them in a wide area.

Biscuit Storm...!!!

The giant mushroom dust cloud rose high up into the air in the distance, as if a nuke had gone off. Everyone at the wedding venue stared at the cloud in the distance - some shocked, others concerned, it was definitely an event that none of them expected. They expected a happy Big Mom to stroll into the wedding venue, but instead, they got Big Mom coming crashing down from the sky with enough force to mimic a nuke. Needless to say, this immediately threw the wedding venue into chaos. Inside Bege, Kallavan saw the event transpire as well. He shouted at Bege, telling him to snap out of it.

Kallavan quickly formulated an idea. Big Mom had to be alive, but La Spada would undoubtedly be a match for her, if she was indeed in Totto Land. Bege's entire plan revolved around separating Big Mom and Kaidou, but now that was no longer even needed. Kallavan, with a sharp look in his eyes, told Bege to act.

ARGHHHH!!!

Bege roared, throwing caution to the wind. Suddenly, his skin was covered in stone pavement and portcullis opened all over his body, with cannons stationed at each one. The cannons were fired, and as soon as the cannonballs left the persona of Bege, they reverted to their normal sizes, blasting everything in the venue. Dozens of explosions went off suddenly, shaking the wedding venue and raising a lot of dust into the air as people ducked for cover from the surprise attack.

Using the chaos to his advantage, Bege acted. His silhouette grew inside the obscurity, to a massive size. Bege started to transform, his body growing in size, his skin now stone pavement. His persona started to shapeshift, transforming Bege into a giant, sentient castle.

Another volley of cannonfire came, engulfing the wedding venue in more explosions. A gate would begin to open up on Bege's abdomen, a gate that led to where Kallavan was inside the castle. He had his exit.

(Charlotte Brulee) What is the meaning of this, Bege?!

(Charlotte Galette) Explain yourself, Bege.

(Charlotte Oven) An explanation is not needed. He is a traitor.

(Charlotte Mond-d'Or) His opportunity simply came, that is all...

Charlotte Brulee, Charlotte Galette, Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Mond-d'Or stood in front of the giant Bege, in his way. The leaders of the Underworld watched the faceoff in disbelief. Something like this had never happened in one of Big Mom's weddings. They were in uncharted territory - and now that Charlotte Katakuri was no longer here, it was up to the four children present to mitigate the situation. Was Bege alone? Did he have allies? Were they responsible for what had happened to Big Mom? The war in Totto Land was beginning. And it would change the world undoubtedtly.

With the scream of a Yonko the end of an era was announced. Whether it'd be for the better or for worse all depended on fate, but one thing was for certain. Whole Cake Island would not be the same after this. Bege switched to full offence as his Big Father mode was activated, unleashing hell and carnage everywhere. Explosions swept the wedding venue, causing enemy and ally alike to duck for safety. One salvo after another, Bege unleashed to suppress everyone within the venue. That was until a large gate opened up on Bege's abdomen, casting a glimpse into the shadows behind it. The explosions quieted down as the entire venue stared in disbelief as to what was happening.

Big Mom her children concluded that the man was a traitor, and they were right in that assessment. The leaders of the Underworld, however, watched in shock and bewilderment. Big Mom being attacked, Bege turning out a traitor. Even for those who made double-crossing their allies their profession, it was all a bit too farfetched to even comprehend fully. But then, while the Charlotte family were discussing amongst themselves, the sounds of footsteps grew louder and louder. And the sheer presence of this shadowy figure would surely draw the entire room towards them.

Thump......
Thump......
Thump......

With each step this individual took, the nervousness from the Charlotte family would increase. From the sound of it, this individual was wearing heavy-duty boots and the power from this person would reveal a very formidable opponent. "Steel yourselves." The voice spoke, softly, but threatening at the same time. It wouldn't take much longer, from beneath the curtain of darkness the man would reveal himself. A slight hop down would situate himself a few meters in front of the 4 children. With Bege still behind him.

Vice-Admiral, Kallavan Stormblessed. The Marine's Champion

"For today you will be fighting for your life."

Kallavan said stone cold, the darkness finally coating and manipulating him.

The sound of bodies hitting the floor was ecstasy. The Grim Reaper‘s eyes widened with enjoyment, licking those red ruby lips with glee. Even opponents would feel Nidai Kitetsu’s aura churning, as if the blade also took part of the enjoyment. A cursed blade, the blood on Nidai Kitetsu would dry, almost as if the sword would pedantically drink the blood while. Charlotte Amande would draw her last breath.

[La Spada] “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Pity. Died so quick. Tha’ poor child didn’t even have time to enjoy tha’ suffering. Well, I’ll have to fix tha’, won’t I?”

La Spada kept toying with them, belittlement even to those fallen. The Sweet Commanders would not take this lightly. Smoothie slammed her hand to the ground, and Daifunku created a genie. La Spada was too focused on the corpses - she could not dodge. Interestingly, the blow came to her left hand - La a Spada could have blocked it. But she would fight them with one hand. A woman of honor, wouldn’t you say?

The blade hit La Spada’s bony ribcage, covered in defensive haki, sending her flying to the side. The house she crashed into collapsed. There was a moment of silence, before a figure came out the thinning smoke. La Spada had sheathed her blade, her palm upwards and glowing green. A shadow on her face, and spirit of anger. A good size bone bruise on her ribcage showed - there would be blood if she had any. La Spada walked with a small limp.

La Spada had been angered. She would repay them in kind. To the deepest most exiles depths of her soul, now awakened. They asked for it. Suddenly, a figure rose and made her way to La Spada’s side as The Grim took to the center of the street.

[La Spada] “Careful now, mah’ darlings. What will yah’ precious Mama say if yah’ kill another one of her beautiful children?”

[La Spada] “KUHAHAHAHAH!!!!”

From the dead, a light blue haired woman stood tall. Golden earrings, long neck, grey complexion, a long blade buzzing with spirit, and that signature cigarette blowing smoke. A shadow on her face seemed to show either control, disappointment, or anger for her brethren. This was no battle. This was torture. A mind game of the highest level. La Spada cared not for a win. The Grim wanted to break their soul.

Enter the dead. Enter Charlotte Amande.

WCI – Biscuit Island #15
@kakashi19283

The wind gale blows the bits of biscuit forming into soldiers – but Cracker’s intervention prevented the likely conclusion. The man would attack physically on his own, relying not on his powers to dealt with the powerful wind gale but his swordsmanship. While his attack did not overpower Akira’s attack, the remnants of the power behind the boy’s attack would ultimately not be able to deter the soldier’s formation. Yet the need to seemly prevent Akira’s attack is prevalent enough for the boy. Perhaps the weakness of the fruit may lie in its process, for the powers requires a complete assembly to function as intended. Akira may recall similar things happening, as even with storm of his powers did not seem to be utilized whenever his creations were to reduce back to dust. That said the notion of the man showing otherwise would not be left ignored. The soldiers would form, as Cracker mentioned that not being able to get to Big Mom, though words refers to a more affectionate term, coined ‘mama’ rather than Big Mom, showing the possibility of a relationship beyond comrades.

The boy did not have time to speak however, as Cracker started to create swords through the use of the very same dust, coating them with Haki – but what is different this time is the lack of clapping but whether or not the man before him has figured out how Akira is pinpointing his location or due to circumstances that the habit stopped momentarily is something that Akira noted but the Assassin would not put such method to rest yet, for the importance of locating the man is paramount to his defeat, and now with the use of the soldiers, he may very well be hiding in yet another suit of armour once more – the swords were likely nothing more than distraction to that. As the swords are fired towards the boy in a storm of blade work. The boy started moving in a more zigzag-like manner, his wings blackened still – indicating the coating of Haki. Even with a storm of blades, the boy only had to defend himself of those coming towards his trajectory – sidestepping, dodging, and only his wings would block the incoming blades that are in his way. The blade and the wings would clash, but to of no notable difference – each swung of his wings would parry the swords out, as each step would bring him closer to Cracker and his army of soldiers between them. Given the scale of his powers, it is not impossible that those swords could be easily be diverted back at Akira after passing through him, and the boy is well-aware of its possibilities, thus making the importance of closing the gap quicker, to make it less viable for something to happen.

Name: Blade Wings (Passive)
Rank: B (True Hybrid) | A (Hybrid/Beast)
Description: When he is in his Human-Beast or Beast Form, Akira is able to use his Pteranodon wings like swords, allowing him to release powerful air blades by swinging them. These slash attacks can deal massive damage, and he can launch them in rapid succession. Akira is also capable of using the wings to attack normally, as the wings are both strong and durable enough to utilize it in melee. Doesn't stack rank bonus with other techniques using the bladed wings.
(Normal attacks: 41 mastery, 41 str | 61 mastery, 61 str)
(Air blades: 51 mastery, 51 str | 71 mastery, 71 str)

Akira's DPR vs Cracker's: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: +3 (Bladed Wings) = 9. Small Country Level
Result: Equal Force. Negated.

The speed of the boy is incredible, even faster than most could perceive – a blazing speed that would allow the boy to maneuver past the attack in a blink of an eye. And between him and Cracker stood the army of soldiers – without further ado, the boy swung his bladed wings towards the front, firing a multitude of elliptic air projectiles at the army, each air blade enveloped with wisp of black energies dancing around, a step forward as the boy lunges forth with incredible speed to break apart the soldiers and towards Cracker.

Name: n/a
Rank: n/a
Description: The user plants a foot forward, bends a little and uses force to dash forward, which allows the user to propel slightly forward for the next step but with increased momentum, allowing one to strike with greater intensity which forms the basis for the fighting style. It can also be used in tandem to spin by twisting the body, resulting in a quick spin or two to create momentum. This technique can be used in conjunction with any basic attacks or certain techniques.

La Spada's blade and the Chill of the Underworld sought the lives of Tamago and Amande, cutting them down in front of their comrades. Smoothie and Daifuku acted with haste, the former sucking all the liquid out of the ground while the latter summoned a Genie, descending onto La Spada with a powerful swing of its halberd. La Spada was struck and blown away, her boney body colliding with a nearby structure and bringing it down. A momentary victory, or so the Charlottes thought. From the collapsed structure and the resulting obscurity, La Spada walked out, limping. She had felt the attack, that much was certain - but she could not bleed, nor was it certain that she could feel pain. The ghastly woman of death was alive. And with it, she rose another from death. Golden earrings, long neck, grey complexion, a long blade buzzing with spirit, and that signature cigarette blowing smoke. Green energy surrounded Amande, bringing her up to her feet. Much like what had happened with Snack earlier, they were confronted with a similar situation.

Another one of their brothers or sisters, made a play thing for La Spada. Smoothie, Daifuku and Perospero grit their teeth, clearly infuriated by La Spada's actions. However, a voice calmed them and refocused them.

Calm yourselves...! Mademoiselle has fallen, but she gave birth to an opportunity!

Averting their gazes toward the direction where the voice came from, Smoothie, Daifuku and Perospero saw Tamago stand once more. Yet again, he had avoided death and had evolved. Enter Count Niwatori.

Now in his strongest form, Tamago would once again lead the charge. Taking off, Count Niwatori would dash toward Amande, aiming to engage with her.

This would give an opportunity for the other three to attack La Spada. A shadow would cast over La Spada. If she looked toward Smoothie, La Spada would see that Smoothie had absorbed a large amount of liquid, and had grown to the size of a giantess. Between the now giantess Smoothie, and the large Genie, La Spada now had two behemoths to deal with. Perospero, while the rest were fighting, had produced a large amount of candy as well, now able to wield it at his disposal.

Let's do this right. We'll take her down now! Daifuku said.

I have your back. Perospero said.

All hail mama. Smoothie said.

(Biscuit Island) @Sea
OOC: Cracker did not hide inside any of his soldiers, he's out in the open, with the battalion of Crackers at his disposal.

With Cracker's strategy now exposed and his real body out in the open, the battle between the Sweet Commander and the Assassin neared its finale. Cracker fought for his life, for his mama - he had to win, and the commitment to his mama made him fight at a greater level than he had ever fought before. The battalion of Biscuit Soldiers rose once again, while Cracker solidified the biscuit dust on the ground into an array of blades, firing them toward Akira - black Busou-shoku no Haki cladding the weapons powerfully.

Akira, with his blackened wings, danced through the barrage, cutting down and deflecting the blades while taking steps toward Cracker. He then swung his wings toward Cracker and his soldiers, unleashing powerful flying slashes. The Biscuit Soldiers lunged forward, striking with their swords and shields. They clashed with the flying slashes, holding them off momentarily. But, within moments, the Biscuit Soldiers started to get overwhelmed by the flying slashes. They were pushed a few meters backward, before ultimately getting overpowered and cut through.

Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + S: +4 + CoA: +3 = 13. Moon Level

Soldiers' DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 = 6. City Level

Remaining DPR: 7. Mountain Level

The remnants of Akira's attack blew through the Biscuit Soldiers, heading toward the real Cracker. However, in that moment, a voice echoed.

Stay back, Cracker.

DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level

The voice said, a large shadow casting over the street. Cracker looked up, and if Akira did the same, her would see a large fist above the street, coming down like a blackened meteor. The large fist, clad with black Busou-shoku no Haki, came crashing down onto the flying slashes from above, smothering and destroying them completely. The fist collided with the ground, causing the entire street to rumble, fissures cutting into the ground in all directions. Cracked jumped backward, backing away from the attack. When the obscurity from the attack settled, an incredibly tall and intimidating man would come walking onto the scene.

Nervous sweat rolled down the side of Cracker's face. The strongest man has arrived. The second son and third child of the Charlotte Family. Charlotte Katakuri.

(Whole Cake Island) @QuickZilver708

Within a matter of a minute, what was once a tranquil wedding environment, became a witness to Big Mom falling from the sky enraged, crashlanding like a meteor, while the man that was in charge of the security of the wedding venue, turned on its guests, transforming into a large castle and unleashing a volley of cannonfire at all that were present.

Using this mayhem to enter the scene, was Vice Admiral Kallavan Stormblessed. The Marine's Champion. Needless to say, when the man jumped out of Bege's castle, everyone at the wedding venue recognized him immediately. After all, those present were either pirates or emperors of the underworld - and he was the police officer. The fact that a Vice Admiral came out of Bege's castle further solidified Bege was a traitor, though at this point it no longer mattered. Bege had done his part. He had infiltrated the wedding venue, and he delivered Kallavan to Kaidou. Now, it was time to go after Big Mom.

Good luck, Marine Vice Admiral. I'm getting out of here.

Bege said, turning around as his legs transformed into tank treads. The tank treads started to roll, and Bege, in his Big Father form, went crashing out of the wedding venue, leaving Kallavan behind.

Charlotte Brulee, Charlotte Galette, Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Mond-d'Or.
Du Feld, Morgans, Drug Peclo, Giberson and Umit.
Basil Hawkins, Ulti, Black Maria, the Numbers, and Kaidou.

And then... Vice Admiral Kallavan Stormblessed. Alone, in a forest of enemies.

For now, the Beast Pirates did not seem to act, and Kaidou was still drinking, depression oozing from his persona. The emperors of the Underworld had no stake in this game, it seemed, so they all remained seated. But, Big Mom's children stood up, on edge. In a standoff, they confronted Bege, initially, though now only Kallavan was left. The Marine had seemingly infiltrated Big Mom's wedding, and so it was mama's children that now had to take responsibility.

Charlotte Oven's body suddenly started to glow an enormously hot orange as he started to take steps forward, black Busou-shoku no Haki slowly cladding parts of his volcanic body. The temperature in the wedding venue started to rise, causing some of the classier individuals, such as Du Feld and Morgans of the Underworld, to wipe off sweat with their handkerchiefs.

State your purpose. What is a Marine like yourself doing here?

Charlotte Oven said angrily, his blood boiling.

The wedding was in shambles, explosions had destroyed several sections of the hall, forcing many of its guests to hide for cover. And when Kallavan arrived from within Bege, they'd be paralysed with fear. At least those who dwelled within the underworld. Some of Big Mom her children as well would think twice to attacking Kallavan if they found him out in the world. But this was their home, duty and pride for the homeland would drive them this time. Everyone present would be prey to Kallavan's anger, but for now those in front of him, the Charlotte family, would be the first to receive the might of Kallavan. Oven's body shifted to a bright orange colour, revealing the intense heat that was coursing through his veins and body.

Heating himself up for combat as he stared a vice-admiral in the face. With anger and the wound of betrayal aching in his body, Oven spoke out, demanding to know why the marine was here. The marine could not help but chuckle while he removed his marine cap from his head, tossing it over to the side. His marine coat still on his shoulder, displayed ever so proudly by Kallavan who stood in front of the smouldering pirate.

And then the man vanished from sight, only wind left in its wake from the high speed movement he employed.

"To usher in a new era." Kallavan whispered softly.

A second blink from Oven would reveal the marine right up in his face, arm cocked back and primed for a devastating punch. The air twisting around the marine's arm for vibrations, and haki intertwined around the man's fist.

"Saiga."

81-100: 3. Large Building Level + 3(A-rank) +2(Haki/Invis) = 8. Island Level

Kallavan's fist flew forward towards Oven with incredible speed and velocity. Like a projectile, it had marked its objective and flew towards it with almost incomparable might. With a difference of almost 2 meters between the marine and Oven's height, Kallavan saw his chance for a gut punch and went straight for it. His right fist aimed to dig in deep into the man's flesh, only to pour out an enormous amount of shock and power through the pirate's back. Saiga, a punch named after a well known shotgun brand. For that was the potency of this simple punch.

A punch that packed the destructive force of a shotgun round. The heat that emanated around Oven did not seem to deter the marine as much and even when his fist made contact upon the hot surface was equally not a bother. He wanted to send a message, and to emphasize once more.

They'd have to fight for their lives.

The Prodigal Son: Zeus! #12
@kakashi19283

Whole Cake Palace - Sky
The Prodigal Son was nervous. While he was huge, his soul was that of a child, that piece of Bog Mom taken when she was a child. A child now scared of his mother’s retaliation, yet gluttonous for thunderclouds. Sasaki spoke calmly, which made Zeus calm, taking a deep breath. It was comical that that deep breath manifested itself into a hurricane wind, comically blowing Sasaki away for a moment.

Sasaki offered to bring him to Mama, and save her from that Pirate. The cloud, now calm because of Sasaki’s demeanor, fell for the gamble. He accepted his offer, nodding and sporting a small smile, noting the thunderclouds he would get.

[Zeus] “O-O-Okay, then! Let’s help Mama! Lead the way! Thank you. What is your name again?”

Like a child being lured into the back of a white van with candy.The cunning Vice-admiral lured Zeus with promises of thunderclouds and saving Mama.

The camera shifted. When back in focus, a large man was seen on his back, slow to get up. In the outskirts of Toto Land, a battle was taking place. The camera focused on the man, showing a recognizable figure with sparks coming out the small opening on neck. I’m mid-air, flying with no effort, was a red-haired man with a large scar on his face. His face screamed glee as he looked down on his opponent, crackling of purple lightning surrounding him.

Welcome to the the Worst Generation.

[Eustass Kidd] “Get out of my way. A shipwreck nor you will stop me! That wedding will be host to the death of the old generation!”

Sasaki calmed Zeus down. Zeus took a deep breath and then exhaled, which given his size and status as an entity of storms, created a strong gale that almost caused Sasaki to fall over while Geppouing in midair. He laughed outloud, noting with a big smile on his face.

Bwahaha, damn you're strong.

Anyway, the name's Sasaki. I'm a man that's made out of lightning.

He said, introducing himself to his new friend. Sasaki's swords were sheathed, and he reached for his Clima Tact once again. Swinging it once, he released a stream of thunderclouds, which Zeus could feast on. But that's when Sasaki remembered something. Earlier, Big Mom had ridden atop Zeus like a flying nimbus. Sasaki wanted to do the same. While Zeus was presumably feasting, Sasaki proposed the idea.

Alright Zeus-kun, I'll jump on now. It's time to get going. Time is of the essence...

Sasaki said, using Geppou to jump onto Zeus. Then, Sasaki would use the Clima Tact to point into the direction that Zeus had to go.

Alright, I hear something about the wedding being host to the death of the old generation. Let's head over there first. I've never met her, her voice sounds a bit deep. Guess that's what death sounds like...

WCI – Biscuit Island #16
@kakashi19283 @Ichimonji

The air blades would dismantle the army of Crackers, biscuit dust would arise into the sky for each fallen soldier that the boy took. Every second which the boy shreds the army means he is closer to the real Cracker, and that he would be able to deal with Cracker soon. But before he would be able to achieve it – a voice appeared above. Surprises for both sides, but even more so for the boy – while he is aware that he may be attacked by another of Big Mom Pirates, he wasn’t aware of the man before him to be here. The remaining of the flying slashes would hit the army, but soon the accompanying voice is a massive fist slamming down onto the ground between him and Cracker, the power of the fist enough to stop the flurry of air blades with no problems at all. The fist would come crashing down like a meteor, its shockwave generated enough to cause a small quake from its epicentre, forcing the Assassin to back off momentarily away from the fist – using flight to ensure stability against the rumbling of the ground and the fissures cracking the earth beneath.

La Spada has warned of the 2nd in command that Akira would eventually face, after all he is the target that is meant to be taken out to ensure La Spada’s fight with Big Mom would eventually be of no interference. Landing further back where earth is not completely decimated by the fist, the boy looked at now having to face two of Big Mom Pirates. As he looked on, the large wings of the boy start to regress in size as the wings transforms into human hands, with wing membrane and a smaller bladed wing instead, much like bat wings in appearance. Grasping onto his sword with his right hand, his left hand would reach out to a pocket, only to grab a small Den Den Mushi.

“It seems like the man you mention is here, another son of Big Mom, Katakuri – and another man known as Cracker.”

The words would transmit only to the other recipient – La Spada. The boy would only quietly hold onto the Den Den Mushi for a short moment, in the event La Spada would respond. But afterwards the boy would deposit the Den Den Mushi back into a pocket behind him. A 2 versus 1. Odds aren’t in favour the Assassin, but he would have to just deal with it. No matter how powerful the both of them are, especially of Katakuri. Akira would have to force a victory. No matter how badly the situation would turn out. Watching intently at the both of them, Akira would quietly wait.

True Hybrid Form (Alternate): Similar to his other Hybrid Form, this form in particular is made for Akira to utilize his sword fighting style. Instead of a pair of long bladed wings, this form has shorter and smaller wings and limb appendages akin to a normal human arm length which allows Akira to wield katana properly. His feet became sharp talons. In this form long distance flying is slightly slower than the other hybrid form due to smaller wings but can be used for gliding around and making sharp turns in mid-air. Some Zoan-specific techniques are either unusable or weaker.

Enter the dead. The Charlotte family had to now kill another one of their own. Perhaps a positive, or negative, they did not seem deterred. The group seemed not to care for their siblings, and would strike them down again. We’re they really this evil, not swayed even by the life of a kin? Or had they gone off the deep end? La Spada clad a grin at that thought, for her mind games were not bearing fruit.

Suddenly, a den den mushi rang. La Spada took out a masked den den mushi from her coat as the revived Tamago engaged Amande. There, the Empress heard Akira, now noting he engaged Cracker and Katakuri, the remaining Smoothie Commanders. The den den mushi was loud enough that Smoothie, Daifunku, and Pespero could hear. La Spada chuckled, responding in short order.

[La Spada] “Good. Kill them...”

[La Spada] “I’ll eliminate the rest of tha’ disgusting family. We must bring Charlotte Linkin presents to tha’ wedding. Her children’s heads seem fitting, don’t yah’ agree?”

La Spada stayed close to Amande, using her as a pseudo-shield. With Akira’s statement, La Spada could no longer play around. Smoothie and Daifunku had each made forms of giant, now standing over La Spada and Amande, imposing. They’d meet La Spada’s right hand, index finger outstretched, the fingertip glowing, and a malevolent chuckle.

[La Spada] “Let me show yah’ the true gulf between us!”

Suddenly, the earth ripped. Souls from the underworld erupted from La Spada’s fingertip in the form of two giant blast of energy that advanced at zipping speeds (120). It’s size was that of a giant cannon, birthed from a pedantic soul, with the speed unmatched. Each blast would be big enough to take up more than half of Smoothie and the genies’s body, the energy whisking with black lightning, signifying that terrible haki.

Left in the path of the blast would be spasms in the earth, completely destroying the area behind it.

react to la spada's words on the den den mushi

As Tamago, in his strongest form, confronted Amande, Smoothie and Daifuku confronted La Spada, with Perospero backing them up. The giantess, Smoothie, and the giant Genie, cast a shadow over La Spada as they stood in front of her like behemoths. La Spada, calmly, took out a Den Den Mushi that rang. On the other end of the line was one of her own, informing her of whom he was facing. Katakuri and Cracker. La Spada told her subordinate to take their heads, and that they would bring the heads of her children, to Big Mom herself. When La Spada put away the Den Den Mushi, Smoothie and Daifuku grit their teeth angrily.

You scum. You will regret ever stepping foot into mama's territory. Daifuku said.

Enough talking, Daifuku. This has gone on long enough. Smoothie said.

As La Spada elevated her arm, pointing her boney finger toward the two, they readied themselves. Suddenly, the earth ripped. Souls of the Underworld culminated at La Spada's finger and she fired two enormous soul blasts toward Smoothie and Daifuku. The attack had blistering speed, but luckily, there was some distance between them, and La Spada's attack was rather straightforward and obvious. Both Smoothie and Daifuku's Genie swung their weapons vertically downward, black Busou-shoku no Haki cladding the blades. Their blades ripped into the incoming beams, resulting in a powerful clash that shook the area.

La Spada's DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +3 = 12. Large Continent Level

Smoothie's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

Daifuku's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

La Spada's attack was undoubtedly stronger, but Smoothie and Daifuku outnumbered her. Despite that, the powerful beam of soul energy came out on top, overpowering the two behemoths and sending them reeling backward. This gave an opening to Perospero, who was backing them up. Having summoned a large amount of candy, Perospero raised two large, tall walls of candy, one to La Spada's left and one to her right. Both walls had spikes protruding from them inward toward La Spada, black Busou-shoku no Haki cladding the sharp tips of the spikes. Perospero motioned with his hands, slamming the two walls toward one another, with La Spada hopefully trapped inbetween. The collision of the two spiked walls was powerful, creating a wind that reached a fair distance away.

Iron Candy...! Perospero roared, leaving his mark.

Perospero DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level

Katakuri, the strongest of Big Mom's children, arrived on the scene, much to Cracker's surprise. His arrival came with the fist of a God, enormous in size and great in power. When it descended, the entire street cracked under the weight and pressure of the fist, causing Cracker's and Akira's fight to be broken up. Both men jumped away from one another and to safety. When Katakuri walked onto the scene, the three men found themselves positioned in a triangular position. Cracker, with sweat rolling down his face, spoke.

Nii-sama... how did you get here?
(changed Cracker's color scheme because it was the same as Katakuri's)

Katakuri answered.

I came through the mirror dimension. Luckily, all the chaos that has been caused here, led to many broken mirror shards scattered all about. Now then...

Good job handling this up until now, Cracker. Can you continue?

Katakuri asked, Cracker nodding.

Obviously, Nii-sama. What's going on in Totto Land? This guy is not the only one here right?

Cracker asked, having been isolated here on Biscuit Island with the enemy this whole time.

Invaders are here. Worry not, we just have to dispose of this man in front of us.

Katakuri said, refocusing Cracker on the task at hand. At this point, Akira took out a Den Den Mushi, calling his Captain. He reported whom he was facing, and the ghastly woman on the other end of the line answered. It was La Spada. Told to kill them, Akira stashed the Den Den Mushi back into his clothing and got ready. Cracker's eyes widened in surprise - these people aimed to bring their heads to Big Mom.

Bunch of savages. Let's do this, Nii-sama.

Cracker said, clapping his hands. All the biscuit dust around started to form again, forming a battalion of Biscuit Soldiers, all equipped with six arms, six legs, three swords and three shields. Cracker himself stayed behind the battalion, aiming to command it. Katakuri, on the other hand, went straight to the front lines. Walking toward Akira, Katakuri's right arm started to turn into mochi, retaining its shape. Black Busou-shoku no Haki started to crawl down the length of the arm. Katakuri came to a stop a distance away from Akira, bending his knees and cocking his right arm back, readying himself for a punch.

Come, invader.

Katakuri said.

(Whole Cake Island) @QuickZilver708

Charlotte Oven, son of Empress Big Mom, demanded for Kallavan to state his business here. He was, undeniably and undoubtedly, a highly unwanted guest, a Marine at a pirate wedding. The sheer expectation of what Kallavan would say alone, caused Oven to start to glow and steam with enormous heat. He expected Kallavan's answer to enrage him, and the answer did not fail to deliver. Kallavan stated that he aimed to usher in a new era. An unforgivable goal. After all, Big Mom was the Empress of this era. The Big Mom Pirates would never let this era come to an end - only father time could force that. Oven's body heated up even more, to the point where all the food in the venue started to bubble and melt, and the drinks started to boil and evaporate. With an enraged, booming voice, Oven spoke, though he did not get to finish his remark, or insult.

You sc-...!

As Oven spoke, Kallavan suddenly disappeared from his location, utilizing Soru to close the distance with blistering speed. When Kallavan appeared in front of Oven, the Marine hurled his arm forward, delivering a powerful punch. Kallavan's fist rammed into Oven's stomach, enough force behind the punch to push Oven's stomach several centimeters inward. Oven's feet skid a few millimeters backward, but he was not blown away, standing his ground. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the part of Oven's stomach that was struck.

Kallavan's DPR is 1 higher than durability -> quite effective

The moment the fist connected, Oven grabbed Kallavan's extended arm, holding him in place. The two men were roughly equally matched in physical strength. Kallavan's fist, which was held against Oven's stomach, and Kallavan's forearm, which was held by Oven's hand, started to burn with great heat. The volcanically hot man finished his insult.

...-oundrel...!

Meteoric Fist!!!

Oven said, clearly having felt the punch, but able to eat it without a second thought. Oven's other arm, his left, raised high up into the air, burning with a powerful blaze. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the arm, and Oven swung it downward like a molten hammer, aiming to slam it atop Kallavan's head, and drive him into the ground violently.

DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

The rest of Big Mom's children simply watched on, ready to jump in on the action at any moment, but also aware that approaching Oven in this moment was dangerous, due to the scalding heat.

Kallavan's punch dug in deep into Oven's stomach, twisting and churning through the impact. The force, adequate to push the pirate back. But his armaments prevented him from being blasted backwards through the entire venue. Oven burned to an even hotter degree when he latched onto Kallavan's arm, the power and energy radiating from the Son of Big Mom was impressive. Kallavan could feel his skin scalding. This would turn into a problem if it continued like this, he thought. For now though, his life-return training gave him a minor resistance while regular haki tried to mitigate as much as possible. But not for very long, though, this man had to let go for he'd receive lasting burn marks if he didn't.

Quickly, Oven rose his left arm high up into the air, heat and haki focusing around his fist, painting it an orange dark. Kallavan who compared to the pirate was quite a bit smaller. Would notice the brute's movement as he rose his arm and prepared accordingly. Like a jackhammer, the fist dropped onto Kallavan's head but when Oven launched his attack, Kallavan armed his defences.

"Tekkai." The marine said while his entire body flexed and tightened, bolstering his natural durability. Doubled with an invisible application of haki the marine had an incredible amount of durability.

And Oven would feel this.

When his fist would drive into Kallavan's head he'd feel instantly that what he had struck was not a human head but perhaps something similar to a thick slate of steel. He'd not be the first to perhaps find his hand throb after punching this Admiral when his famed vitality was put to the test.

120: 7. Mountain Level +2(invis haki) = 9. Small Country Level
DPR 1 below dura: somewhat effective

The result, however, was still the same. At least to some extent. Kallavan's head would be forced downwards, but only his head. The remaining force would be sent to his body and the ground below, shattering and cracking the ground he stood upon. Even slightly leveling it, giving credence to the pirate's formidable strength. Eventually, Kallavan would rise his head, a smirk upon his face as blood trailed from the corner of his mouth. An impossible feat. The majority in the room would think if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

"Not bad. But how long can you keep it up, I wonder?" Kallavan said, threateningly.

Kallavan rose his left fist as the same strange blue energy from before enveloped it - indicating hasshoken usage- but a secondary, new type of energy emerged. One he had not used before, up until now. Kallavan's fist sparked black while the veins within his fist became more prominent, his spirit and desire flaring. And then he hurled his left fist forward with ridiculous speed and power. His arm flickering and duplicating, to the untrained eye - a flurry of punches.

"Machine Gun Blow!"

81-100: 3. Large Building Level +3(A) +3(Ryuo) = 9. Small Country Level
- Machine Gun jab: A very fast punch that lacks in strength, often used by the not dominant arm. Has an alternate version where Kallavan unleashes a flurry of fists. [ A Rank]
61 mastery, 61 str, 61 movement

With the pirate both arms now occupied one still grabbing while the other had just attack. The man now had to make a choice. Try and tanking this attack or evade and chose a different path. But would he be able to tank all of Kallavan's punches? Danger loomed around every corner. The choice was ultimately his.
