Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
The duo had come to a loose agreement. Zeus, with the mind of a child, was convinced by a predator with promise of sweets. Whisked out of Whole Cake Island as soon as s they could. The all hearing voice of the great Vice-Admiral veered them towards their target: a section far away from where Big Mom fell in Whole Cake Island, not to far off from the wedding. Indeed, it looks like whoever was speaking before, was in a warpath to the wedding.
Sasaki was lightning, but Zeus was not. Their speed was not nearly as impressive as just lightnning, though the Admiral rode the eating cloud to the distance. As Sasaki got closer to the area, that voice he once heard disappeared. When the duo arrived at the location, they’s find a ransacked laboratory in flames, with a poison smog gently sweeping through the air.
[Zeus] “T-T-This is where Mama is working on that project! What happened to it?!”
As Zeus looked upon the flames, his body would be sent down towards the ground with incredible speed, knocking Sasaki off his feet.
[Zeus] “W-hat? Ugh!”
Zeus landed with a thump, the water within him making a big splash as it hydrated the land. Zeus’ eyes were crossed, unconscious. But how? Zeus was mere a soul. What power could throw a soul. If Sasaki landed to figure out what happened, he’d feel barely a prescence. Something not human. Suddenly, a shadow was cast over him ominously.
Towering over the Monkey King, staring at the man, with bright light over his shades, was a humongous human in black clothing and a bible on his left. The Royal Shichibukai Kuma “The Warlord”.

Sasaki, riding Zeus, flew off into the distance. They flew toward the area where Sasaki had overheard something. However, as they approached the area, they saw a destroyed laboratory down below. Zeus recognized the laboratory immediately, stating that it was the site of a project of Big Mom's. Based on Zeus' demeanor, the project seemed to be important.
What proj-!
Sasaki was about to ask Zeus to elaborate, when suddenly, Zeus disappeared from under his feet. Zeus, with speed greater than the naked eye could follow, would come crashlanding down below. Sasaki, upon seeing this, turned his whole body into a bolt of lightning and shot down toward the ground. He reformed next to Zeus, crouching down and shaking him awake, or attempting to do so.
Oi, Zeus-kun, you ok?
Sasaki asked when a shadow suddenly towered over him. Sasaki, still crouching down, looked up, seeing a rather famous figure in front of him. The Royal Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma. Sasaki stood up, glaring at Kuma.
Hmm? You're an interesting one to appear here on Whole Cake... can I help you with something?
Sasaki asked, clearly not happy about Kuma's presence. Kuma was an enigmatic and highly unpredictable individual, so having him here on Whole Cake Island during such a partricular time, merely complicated things.
A conversation between La Spada and Akira took place, information is exchanged, while conversation may be overheard from her side, whether Cracker and Katakuri is able to listen onto is debatable, for his Den Den Mushi is much on the quieter side. With Akira – two men of importance is with him and the rest of which Big Mom’s family is presumably with her. An order is given; their heads are to be taken to Big Mom. With La Spada questioning Akira’s thoughts on presents to be presented to Big Mom later. Her question on his thoughts however are nothing but rhetorical. She wanted the heads, one way or another and the boy would have to deliver them. Failure wasn’t really an option. To La Spada, the boy behind the dreaded armour would hesitate, not in his response but his tone is slightly off, and his response would be at the very least of something which La Spada would demand from.
“I understand.”
Muttering under his breath, his response is otherwise clear. The heads of the Charlotte Family will be delivered. Putting his Den Den Mushi away back to the pockets. The boy would look up; the duo would chatter away in the midst of their own conversation much like Akira did. But soon they are prepared and so is Akira. The boy would look, both sides are readied at any moment notice – another battalion would form behind Cracker while Katakuri’s arm started to transform. The boy would swing his sword horizontally, generating shockwave in front of him, yet causing debris and dust at the same time to be blasted at both of them, obscuring the vision between both. At the same time, Akira’s talon-feet would transform, enlarged in size as he walked a few steps forward – in just few seconds, Akira swung horizontally but in reverse motion this time round, generating an air blade towards both Cracker and Katakuri, coated in black Haki as black wisps dances around the attack. The air blade would blast through the obscured smoke arisen by the, disturbing it as it passes through. The boy watched, preferring to take a more cautious approach to such situation rather than straight up attacking.

Deliver Big Mom the heads of her children. Wrapped in presents, writ in blood. Deliver us. The Shadow took on Cracker and Katakuri. Meanwhile, the Captain took on the rest of the disgusting children. To use the dead against them, to eradicate their family. The Underworld would have revenge for decades of Bog Mom playing with the souls of the dead. Playing with them for the cheery children-like wants of the Yonko. No longer. La Spada would deliver them from her.
Smoothie and Daifunku weakened the blast, send reeling back with damage, albeit it lower than intended. Working in tandem, Perspero was ready, summoning candy around La Spada’s sides. The Grim’s yellow-slit eyes glowed red, seeing the attack coming. In response, she bent her knees, placing her boney hand on Nidai Kitetsu, surging with Haki And soul.
In the blink of an eye, as the candy appeared to begin to close, La Spada disappeared.
[La Spada] “Soul Solid…
Utilizing a stepping technique, La Spada grew to speeds hard to measure [120 speed + 20 tech = 140 speed]. The woman’s light-weight, short of a feather in comparison, made that speed even the more terrible. Speeds that would make Admiral Kizaru himself jealous. With that speed, La a Spada boosted forward, clearing the candy walls, them hitting nothing behind her, and blitzing past both Smoothie and Daifunku in one fell terrible swoop.
Appearing behind Smoothie and Daifunku, La Spada chuckled. Suddenly, she finished sheathing her sword, words pronounced with rage and power.
[La Spada] “OCHOCIENTA RYO KOKA!!!”
As La Spada careened past them both, she shakes with her sword hundreds of times, curving her blade at the end of every slash in the shape of an 8, using that momentum for the next slash. Hundreds and hundreds of slashes in seconds - a true master of the Fencing sword. The slashes were imbued with soul, which increased their AOE to topple giants, and also freeze the bodies down to the bone. Ryo haki, first time used, would temper the slash, able to implode the target from the inside out.
Smoothie would find the slashes came to the left side of her body up to her lower abdomen. The genie would find the same, only to his right side. Importantoy, Daifunku’s hand rubbing his belly would the the real target, the slashes aiming there. Being Giant had its advantages, harder AoE to kill, as none of these were vital organs. However, their size made hard to dodge, particularly when still reeling back from La Spada’s last attack.
Cut. Implode from within. Freeze to bone. Nidai Kitetsu would have her fill.

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.
The brothers and sisters worked in tandem, showing signs of good teamwork, nurtured on many battlefields of the past. Smoothie and Daifuku, the two behemoths, took the front line, while Perospero, the tactician, stayed in the back. As soon as the two behemoths were pushed backward, it was time for Perospero to back them up. Summoning two large walls of spiked candy to La Spada's right and left, he aimed to bring the two spiked walls slamming together, both crushing and impaling the ghastly woman. It was a gruesome attack, but one that one could expect from the Yonkou's oldest son.
Despite the size and speed of Perospero's attack, however, La Spada displayed overwhelming dominance. Gripping her cursed sword tightly, La Spada pushed off, disappearing with a blitz-like movement technique. Her incredible speed, coupled with her feather light boney body, allowed La Spada to literally disappear from her position, as well as from Smoothie's, Daifuku's and Perospero's sights. A moment later, La Spada appeared behind Smoothie and the Genie. With a moment of delay, powerful slashes spread up the lower bodies of the two behemoths, reaching as far as their lower abdomens. Blood erupted, but froze, and the two behemoths fell to their knees. One of Smoothie's legs was severely damaged, spikes of frozen blood protruding from it.
As for the Genie, he suddenly disappared. Daifuku fell to one knee as well, his hand, which he was rubbing his stomach with, receiving the same fate as Smoothie's leg. A look of horror was upon Perospero's face as he realized what they were up against. Death itself, and there was no escape from it.
F-foul witch...! Perospero said, terror in his eyes.
Smoothie and Daifuku coughed up large amounts of blood, their eyes blurring.
T-there is... no chance of v-victory, b-brother... Daifuku said, speaking with trouble.
C-call sister Brulee and g-get out of here, b-brother. W-we will cover you. Smoothie said.
Her palm on the ground. He rotated the palm along the surface, suddenly sucking all the liquid out of the ground over a wide area. This would make the ground incredibly brittle, and pushing off of the ground with any kind of strength and speed would only leave one stuck and with bad footing. Smoothie aimed to rob La Spada of her speed, at least for a few moments, to grant her brother an escape. He had to get to mama.
The three men readied themselves for battle. Cracker formed his battalion of Biscuit Soldiers and held his strong firmly. Katakuri started to transform his right arm into mochi, black Busou-shoku no Haki slowly cladding the arm, spreading throughout it. Akira put his Den Den Mushi away and held his sword strongly. The battle here did not involve Big Mom or Kaidou. But, without a doubt, the results of this battle would heavily determine the fate of Totto Land. After all, if La Spada lost her second in command, while Big Mom retained Katakuri, chances of Big Mom's death were slim to none. Katakuri, aware of his own importance, as well as the importance of killing Akira, would fight as such. He would not hold back, nor let his guard down.
Akira struck first, swinging his sword and unleashing a blast. The blast would kick up a bunch of dust and debris. Cracker's battalion would move inbetween Katakuri and the incoming wave of dust and debris, shielding him with the many shields. Inside the obscurity, Katakuri's eyes glowed a distinct red. For a moment, he peered into the future, an ability most powerful. He knew of the attack that was going to come, before it would come. Jumping forward and past the battalion of Biscuit Soldiers, Katakuri would create a large amount of mochi from his arm, turning it into a giant arm. Black Busou-shoku no Haki would clad the arm as he hurled it forward. The same attack that Akira had seen before.
The giant mochi arm would collide with the incoming flying slash, the collision of the two attacks dispersing the obscurity.
DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
What remained of the flying slash was but a breeze. Using the opportunity of the clash, Cracker's battalion surrounded Akira, lunging at him from all sides. Some would converge with their shields, while others with their swords, aiming to slam and slash Akira with their numbers.
DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 = 6. City Level
As Akira was dealing with the battalion of Biscuit Soldiers, both Katakuri and Cracker were preparing their next attack. Multiple mochi arms spawned from Katakuri's back, the hands shaped into fists, black with Busou-shoku no Haki. Cracker, in the meantime, clapped with his hands, creating biscuit dust that formed into an array of bladed biscuit weapons. Neither of the two attacked, simply waiting for an opportunity - they would overwhelm Akira with their numbers and wide range of attacks.
The two behemoth men, both large and muscular in stature, but one more than the other, were entangled in a strong hold. Oven used on hand to hold Kallavan's arm and used his other hand to deliver a powerful, hammer-like downward slam onto Kallavan's head. Kallavan, equally a brute, decided to take the attack head on, strengthening and tempering his body and readying it for the blow. As Oven's fist slammed down onto Kallavan's head, a crater appeared under them, though the roof was still holding strong. A line of blood streamed down from the corner of Kallavan's mouth, signaling some damage, though by the looks of it, it wasn't too great. More important were the burns, for Oven was still holding onto Kallavan's arm, while also delivering some burns through his hammer-like attack.
Deciding to brute his way through the situation, Kallavan readied his other hand, wisps of energy and Busou-shoku no Haki emnating from it. Oven realized what was coming. As the first of Kallavan's punches came forward, Oven grit his teeth but readied himself, black Busou-shoku no Haki cladding his abdomen. The fist impacted, causing Oven to throw up a significant amount of blood, but he would push through. As Kallavan's second punch came forward, this all happening very quickly, Oven pulled Kallavan in by the arm that he was holding, while also taking a step forward. This would lessen the space between the two men considerably, preventing Kallavan from extending his punch completely. This would lessen the strength of the blow. But that was not the primary purpose.
As Oven pulled Kallavan in and also stepped forward, his free hand, which was still above Kallavan from the earlier hammer-like attack, came down behind Kallavan, essentially bearhugging the man. This would likely prevent Kallavan from unleashing more punches. As for Oven, he did not have to. Black Busou-shoku no Haki spread throughout his whole body, and the heat ramped up to levels that could make the Sea boil and enveloped the two men in a sphere of intense heat and Busou-shoku no Haki. Kallavan was now in a bearhug of deathly heat, and he stepped right into it by punching forward and letting Oven bearhug him.
Oven's brothers and sisters looked on, worried about his rash actions. But, they could not get themselves to step forward, for stepping up to Oven and Kallavan in this moment in time, was like jumping into the Sun.
Heat Bomb...!
Kallavan's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +3 = 9. Small Country Level
The marine's punch drove deep into Oven's gut, power and haki reverberating through the man. The pirate in response would vomit blood giving significance to the amount of power this marine packed. But the pirate, equally resolved as Kallavan did not back down. In fact the man even went for a counter during the carnage. The man would thug at Kallavan's arm, bringing him closer while also stepping in to extreme close quarters. None of the parties would be able to launch a punch in this situation. Unfortunately, however, Oven could simply cook Kallavan alive with simply standing in close proximity. And this was exactly what Oven was aiming for. The right arm would come down and effectively snatched Kallavan in a hold, bear hugging him and preventing him from doing anymore martial arts. Heat rose to the extreme and life dangering levels, the marine in response clad his entire body with Ryo, aura emanating from him together with the steam from Oven's Heat bomb. Life return would also activate, hurrying to mitigate as much as possible.
101-119: 6. City Level+3(Haki) = 9. Small Country Level
DPR Equal to Durability = Normal damage
"Shame you can't say goodbye to everyone." Kallavan said while Oven was burning through severe levels of energy within his body. But beyond the heat, anger and perhaps anxiety. Oven would not believe the expression the man before him had. This marine, through all that was going on. He had to be staring death in the face! Oven would wonder. And without a doubt this heat was affecting the Admiral
Before Oven or anyone else, if they dared to intervene, could ask the two would be launched high up into the air. Oven was holding Kallavan for dear life, but he could not seal his legs from jumping upwards. To what end? The audience would wonder. But while the orange bomb of heat and death rose high up into the air Oven would most likely have surmised Kallavan's plan. To an extent. As they reached their apex and gravity started to take over, leading into their rapid descent, Kallavan would twist his body, so Oven would be the first to eventually crash against the ground. The sudden launch, Kallavan's strength and gravity would make it extremely hard for Oven to find an opportunity to let himself free and evade. But Kallavan gambled upon the man's persistence to keep him in check and to boil him alive.
But then the unthinkable would happen.
Kallavan had morphed into an ancient creature twice his size in mass. Oven would most likely find his hold instantly nullified and was now crashing straight towards the ground. The speed, momentum, gravity and now the mass of a full sized dinosaur behind him. If this impact were to be fully realized it would surely spell doom to the follower of Big Mom. And perhaps the entire wedding venue itself. Oven, still around Kallavan or not would find the technique still heading towards the ground. The Admiral sought to get rid of the fodder nice and quickly, the heat would help, but the power the technique had on its own was surely more than enough.
"I'll see you ALL IN HELL!" Kallavan roared through the venue, impact a mere inches away.
"JURRASIC DROP!"the marine bellowed unleashing a crash unlike any other.
120: 5. Town Level +S(4) +3(Haki) = 12. Large Continent Level
Several energies would merge and contort the surrounding area. The shockwave would drag the heat across the entire wedding venue. Those who wished to leave unscathed would be wise to run for dear life.
The sword swung twice, once to create an obscuration between the both sides and the other to generate an air blade towards Katakuri and Cracker through the smoke, which would likely force them to deal with it half way into the smoke as the air blade disturbs the cloud fairly quick. However, Katakuri acted quick as if noticing the situation very early would leap forward, utilizing the same move as he would previous used, a large fist would form by the man’s arm – harken in black as Katakuri thrust the giant arm forward to collide against Akira’s attack, dispersing the attack as a result as more smoke would obscure between both sides more. Cracker would take the opportunity to move his army into another surrounding tactic – encirclement. With swords and shields part of their armament, they aimed to overwhelm the boy.
Yet the boy could quickly notice the fast developing situation, the battalion whilst managed to circle around him – even with the smoke would have cause a great amount of disturbance which allowed the boy to assess the situation quicker. Pivoting his foot around, Akira spun around himself – swinging his sword horizontally around him as he generating a circular air blade in a spin which aims to destroy the soldiers once more, bifurcating the Cracker army in one single motion. As he adjusts his footing upon the decimation of the army or at least the frontlines, he would notice more and more objects are being built up by both Cracker and Katakuri. Despite the two of them having the numerical advantage, both of them decided against using that advantage and took on a ranged fight, or at least it appears to be based on their choice of actions so far. And with that, Akira did not seem to hesitate on what to do. In a single step, the Assassin travelled at ridiculous speed. Whether the army is fully destroyed or only the frontlines were, the boy would make his way towards the front of Cracker, whether by moving straight in a line or jumping before getting towards him. Even if both of them were to attack during that time, the boy has more than enough time to dodge them, and with his enhanced speed this would be even less possible to react.

Akira DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: +3 (Sword Bonus) = 9. Small Country Level vs 6. City Level
Result: Akira wins. 3 DPR remaining.
Upon getting in front of Cracker, there is only very small distance between both of them, and Katakuri by the side. Akira would swing his sword horizontally in a wider arc of heights in the sense of swinging diagonally up a little before moving the swing downwards, emanating a blue-black smoke as the blade glows blue as the boy swings for his chest area. But Cracker and Katakuri perhaps would notice that the sword does not reach Cracker. Yet, the boy unleashed a very thin but sharp air blade through the tip of the sword, barely visible to the naked eye. Due to his swinging in such a wide arc, Cracker would likely be unable to side step laterally or even move backwards if he wishes to dodge the attack whilst for Cracker the starting arc of Akira’s swing would very likely hit him by the side should he not move or deal with the attack. By attacking at them close range, it is much more difficult for both Cracker and Katakuri to utilize their versatility in the way they might intend to use it – even for Cracker, careless use of those biscuit weapons without spatial awareness would likely backfire, and Katakuri would have to be more careful in not getting Cracker caught in his own attack. Through this idea, Akira would attempt to maintain melee range with Cracker, should he tries to move away – the boy would follow as close as he could. His focus, while on Cracker, ensure that Cracker’s weapons and Katakuri are within sight.

Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
Vice-Admiral Sasaki met an enigma. The ex-King of the Sorbet Kingdom turned Revolutionary Commander, with a bounty of 296,000,000, turned Royal Shichibukai. A man whose nickname when he was a pirate was "Tyrant", for his methods were ruthless and astoundingly cruel. Outfitted with Vegapunk's technology, PX-0 stood before the Vice-Admiral. Zeus did not wake. Kuma had knocked out Zeus with one blow, and now turned to the man.
Vice-Admiral Sasaki questioned the Warlord, showing neither fear nor tribune, yet rightfully so in wonder of why he of all people, would intercept him. A response came quick and cryptic, tempered by that infamous calm voice.
[Kuma] “They sent me to ensure your mission would not end in failure. This wedding has implications that will even reach the heavens, even Aolai."
Words stricken with implications. Kuma was sent there to ensure Sasaki's mission was not a failure. More importantly Kuma seemed to speak about places and things that would make Sasaki wonder who had sent him here. Even Aolai was somehow involved.
[Kuma] "The pirate known as Captain Kidd ransacked the laboratory. With him now is technology that could turn the fate of this wedding. With him is the guide to the Poneglyph. With him is a crystal that can stretch to times your kind wants to forget."
From times your kind wants to forget. Did he mean the Void Century? From his neck, Kuma pulled out a small crystal. He showed it to Vice-Admiral Sasaki briefly, before holding it tight between his fingers. Was that a crystal like the one he noted Kidd ransacked? What did it mean? Before Sasaki could think on it further, Kuma asked a question, giving the impetus back to the Monkeyman.
[Kuma] "A message from the Unsundered. Will you heed it?"
Deliver Big Mom the heads of her children. La Spada had dealt a perilous blow to both Smoothie and Daifunku. The three called for a retreat. Yet, they were in front of Death - it would not be so easy. The Grim had to bring presents to the wedding, after all. Smoothie and Dafunku had been hit with the swords, ice impeding movement - they were sitting ducks. Pespero, however, was free. He had a chance. Brother and sister insisted Pespero escape - they would cover him.
La Spada's eyes widened in glee, licking her lips.
[La Spada] “The sacrifice... How delicious! Let's see if yah' souls are truly this unselfish. When in the face of death, whether yah' will choose yah' disgusting family over yah' own lives. I'll put it to tha' test! Kuhahahaha..."
Palm facing upwards, an aura of thick malevolence took the area. The ground was withered by Smoothie, but now it was cold. Cold by the chin of souls being unearthed. From the ground, souls of the ancient came, whirling around in her palm. With a malevolent chuckle, the souls of the primordials, the first humans, were called to the palm of her hand, roaring with anger and the Chill of the Underworld. Haki mixed in with the souls full of hate, full of wanting. The Grim did not need her speed for the final blow - she had ranged attacks. Smoothie and Daifunku would be tested. Would they really sacrifice themselves for Pespero? They would have to, with their own bodies.
This was no longer a battle. This was an execution.
[La Spada] "Tut. tut. tut. Don't fret. It won’t hurt too bad. Really. Death is mah' specialty."
Overwhelming power. As Pespero likely made contact with Brûlée in the background, he would be witness. With a roar, the flame roaring in La Spada's hand formed a dragon that was ejected forward. A long trailing body led to the boney hands of the Grim. Upon Smoothie and Daifunku, big enough for them both, was pure hate and wanting. The powerful dragon aimed to slam into their bodies, but not the heads, aiming to separate the body from the heads in a show of force. The very ground split, its aftermath causing earth chasms and earthquakes that would destroy the town.
Become Death.
[La Spada] “DRAGON OF THE MORTAL FLAME!!!"
La Spada tested the two. How gleeful. Would they sacrifice themselves to let Pespero get away, or allow the dragon to continue on and claim Pespero? The game came to an end.

Big Mom's children, her oldest and strongest, were faced with Death. A ghastly woman had come ashore their land, overwhelming them with power and desire for chaos. The Big Mom Pirates were a proud crew, for they were rulers of the Seas. They did not fear anyone, nor did they believe that any other crew could really bring them down. This confidence was a trait shared among all the Yonkou, which is why conflict among them is exceedingly rare. However, this time was different. La Spada, her soul brimming with unparalleled confidence, believed she could put an end to the Empress, Big Mom herself. As La Spada displayed her power, fear was seen on Perospero's face. He was the only one with the luxury to even think about fear, for Smoothie and Daifuku had no such time. Perospero knew. They could not stop her. The only one that could, was their mama. Smoothie and Daifuku seemed to have the same thoughts running through their minds. As such, they decided to sacrifice themselves, in order to let Perospero escape.
La Spada was not confident that Smoothie and Daifuku would have the courage to pull through on those efforts. But, La Spada was wrong. As tears streamed down Perospero's face, he reached for a Den Den Mushi in his pocket. Bawling to the point where he could barely speak normally, he called his sister, Brulee.
Smoothie and Daifuku clenched their fists and grit their teeth. The dragon of fire started to grow, looking down on the two viciously. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the fiery dragon, its jaws aiming to rip the two apart. La Spada swung her arm, and the dragon was sent after the two. Smoothie, wielding her oversized sword, and Daifuku's Genie, wielding the Bisento, got up, barely standing. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad their weapons and they swung them. They were on their death beds. They did not have the ability or the power to use their techniques. But at the very least, they could swing their weapons. The blades clashed against the mighty infernal dragon, pushing against it strongly.
La Spada's DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S+:+5 + COA: +3 = 13. Moon Level

Individually, Smoothie and Daifuku would have been overwhelmed instantly. Together, they were still overwhelmed, albeit a few moments were bought. The dragon came ripping into their bodies, clad with full body black Busou-shoku no Haki. Nothing helped. As their bodies were ripped apart, Perospero, who had managed to get in touch with Brulee, could be heard screaming, tears streaming.
G-get me out of here, s-sister!W... W-WAR IS UPON OUR LAND!!! Perospero said, terror in his eyes.
The mirror shard that was in his hand, sucked him in, and Perospero disappeared.
Smoothie's and Daifuku's souls, before they could be enslaved by La Spada, would look down with smiles on their faces.
He made it. Daifuku said, speaking with relief..
Mama will bring our family salvation. She is the strongest. Greatest pirate in the world. Smoothie said with pride, as the two faded.
While all of this was happening, Tamago and Amande managed to conclude their fight. Face to face, Tamago's blades pierced Amande's abdomen, while Amande's long blade pieced Tamago's. Blood was streaming from the corners of their mouths as Amande's eyes cleared. The two stepped away from one another, before both of them fell to the ground, their backs hitting against the ground with resounding thuds. Both of them looked up at the sky. The entire part, save for Perospero, had been wiped out.
Katakuri's giant fist of black Busou-shoku no Haki, and Akira's flying slash, collided, pushing against one another powerfully for a few moments before subsiding. Cracker used this opportunity to encircle Akira with his Biscuit Soldiers. The battalion collapsed onto Akira's location, aiming to shower him with sword strikes and shield bashes, but Akira was quick to react, spinning and unleashing a powerful flying slash that cut down the Biscuit Soldiers. As they were cut down, the Biscuit Soldiers all exploded into clouds of biscuit dust, floating in the air. Cracker motioned with his hands, forming the biscuit dust into biscuit swords, spears and other bladed weapons, aiming to surround Akira and attack him from all sides. The biscuit weapons that Cracked had aimed to create behind himself, were made as well. However, Akira was quick.
Utilizing a movement technique, Akira managed to blitz out of the encirclement of biscuit weapons and was upon Cracker. When Akira arrived in front of Cracker, Katakuri had one of his mochi hands grab onto Cracker. When Akira swung, Katakuri's mochi hand yanked onto Cracker, throwing him high up into the air and out of the way of Akira's attack. What came next was a simultaneous barrage. Cracker, at that moment up in the air and upside down looking down, motioned with his hands. The array of biscuit weapons that were behind him earlier, as well as the array of biscuit weapons that had encircled Akira earlier, born of the cut down Biscuit Soldiers, were now all commanded to converge onto Akira. Katakuri's right foot, simultaneously, shifted and the ground under Akira's feet turned into mochi. His talons would sink into the sticky mochi, captured.
The army of mochi arms that Katakuri had spawned from his back, imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, would also converge onto Akira's location in a barrage of immensely powerful punches.
An army of biscuit weapon from two sides, all imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, a barrage of fists from one side, also imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, and a pool of mochi, preventing Akira's escape. The two Sweet Commanders aimed to overwhelm.

Oven was blazing, the immense heat that he was giving off a sign of his conviction. Like a supernova clad with full body black Busou-shoku no Haki, he was erupting with power, and Kallavan was in the middle of it all. Trapped at the core of the sun, one could say. Reckless, to be sure. But, for some reason, he was grinning. Oven saw the look on Kallavan's face and grit his teeth. What was going on? What kind of a monster was this man? Oven's confidence faltered momentarily, even though he knew he held the advantage in this moment of time. But, that advantage did not last long. Kallavan bent his knees, the muscles in his legs bursting with power. Pushing off, Kallavan jumped high up into the air. Oven, who held on, went with. As the two climbed higher and higher, the only thing that the rest at the wedding venue could see, was a blazing hot red star. Up in the air, Kallavan had transformed, his body morphing into that of an ancient dinosaur. Oven's grip started to loosen, despite the fact that he was locked in with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The change in Kallavan's size was too great. The two started to descend. Oven, due to Kallavan's increase in size, let go, no longer holding on. But, he had no way to maneuver up in the air. With his back facing the ground, Oven was freefalling, looking up at Kallavan, who was freefalling right with him, right above him.
Oven grit his teeth and tensed his muscles. He knew what was coming, it was inevitable. Inhaling deeply, Oven roared.
GET OUT OF THERE, NOW! BROTHERS AND SISTERS, GO TO MAMA! AN INVASION IS UPON US!!!
Oven roared, his voice reaching far and wide - the shout of a red star. His body came crashing down onto the venue, a heat wave erupting. Kallavan, in his dinosaur form, came crashing on top of Oven with his powerful dinosaur legs - a meteoric stomp. A shockwave ripped through the venue, destroying every plate, glass, table and chair that was around, blowing it all away. As the smoke and dust from the enormous attack started to clear, all of Big Mom's children who were present at the wedding venue, were gone.
Moments ago, when Oven and Kallavan were descending, Brulee had received a call from her brother, Perospero. On Perospero's command, he was pulled into the mirror dimension, saved just in time from La Spada's wrath. Brulee pulled all of her brothers and sisters at the wedding venue into the mirror dimension as well, allowing them to make a narrow escape. Kallavan, with Oven defeated under his feet, would be able to look around, but he would see none of Big Mom's children.
There was, however, a silhouette standing. The obscurity cleared, and in front of Kallavan, towering over him with his incredible height and muscular bulk, was none other than Kaidou.
Wororororo... that was a loud bang that woke me up from my stupor. I remember you... you were there, on Onigashima.
Off to the side of the wrecked wedding venue, the ten numbers were seen. Hiding behind them were the Emperors of the Underworld, using the numbers as shields from the blast.
Inside the mirror dimension, Charlotte Brulee, Charlotte Galette, Charlotte Mond-d'Or, Charlotte Streusen and Charlotte Perospero were getting back up, shaking their heads to try to get themselves together. Off to the side, also in the mirror dimension, were Black Maria, Basil Hawkins and Ulti.
Good thing we managed to get out of there. Kaidou-sama is about to go nuts.
Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
Vice-Admiral Sasaki met an enigma. The ex-King of the Sorbet Kingdom turned Revolutionary Commander, with a bounty of 296,000,000, turned Royal Shichibukai. A man whose nickname when he was a pirate was "Tyrant", for his methods were ruthless and astoundingly cruel. Outfitted with Vegapunk's technology, PX-0 stood before the Vice-Admiral. Zeus did not wake. Kuma had knocked out Zeus with one blow, and now turned to the man.
Vice-Admiral Sasaki questioned the Warlord, showing neither fear nor tribune, yet rightfully so in wonder of why he of all people, would intercept him. A response came quick and cryptic, tempered by that infamous calm voice.
[Kuma] “They sent me to ensure your mission would not end in failure. This wedding has implications that will even reach the heavens, even Aolai."
Words stricken with implications. Kuma was sent there to ensure Sasaki's mission was not a failure. More importantly Kuma seemed to speak about places and things that would make Sasaki wonder who had sent him here. Even Aolai was somehow involved.
[Kuma] "The pirate known as Captain Kidd ransacked the laboratory. With him now is technology that could turn the fate of this wedding. With him is the guide to the Poneglyph. With him is a crystal that can stretch to times your kind wants to forget."
From times your kind wants to forget. Did he mean the Void Century? From his neck, Kuma pulled out a small crystal. He showed it to Vice-Admiral Sasaki briefly, before holding it tight between his fingers. Was that a crystal like the one he noted Kidd ransacked? What did it mean? Before Sasaki could think on it further, Kuma asked a question, giving the impetus back to the Monkeyman.
[Kuma] "A message from the Unsundered. Will you heed it?"
Sasaki attempted to shake Zeus awake, but he remained unconscious for now.
Still crouching down next to Zeus, Sasaki looked up at the towering Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma, who stood in front of him. He questioned Kuma, asking him what a man like him was doing here in Totto Land at a time like this. The answers that followed came as a shock to Sasaki. With a surprised look on his face, Sasaki listened. Kuma claimed that he was here to assure that Sasaki's mission would not end in failure. At first, that sounded like Kuma was referring to Sasaki's mission as a Marine. However, the Marines were sent here to kill Big Mom, while Sasaki was secretly here to do the exact opposite. So which of the two missions was Kuma referring to? Sasaki's official mission to slay Big Mom? Or Sasaki's secret mission to stop Big Mom's death? Did Kuma even know about Sasaki's secret mission?
Kuma went on to mention Aolai. That came as another surprise to Sasaki. Not many people knew of that place. Lastly, Kuma went on to reveal what had happened here at the lab. Eustass Kidd, a member of the Worst Generation, was responsible for the destruction of the lab. With him now was technology that could have profound impact on the fate of the world, a guide to an important Poneglyph, and a mysterious crystal that was of importance to Sasaki's kind. What did Kuma mean by Sasaki's kind? What all did Kuma know? Those thoughts were on Sasaki's mind. Kuma showed the crystal to Sasaki. The reaction that those actions would invoke, were not kind. Sasaki's facial expression shifted from surprised to concerned, even slightly angry. Lightning started to crackle around Sasaki's arms and shoulders.
With a serious look on his face, Sasaki spoke. Something was going on here.
You seem to know more than you should, Bartholomew Kuma. Say it, then. But tread carefully.
Sasaki warned. Clearly, Sasaki suspected that Kuma knew something that he shouldn't. And if he did, Sasaki would not sit idly by. The monkey man that liked to goof around was no longer in front of Kuma. In front of Kuma, now, was the Monkey King.
The earth shook. Souls shrieked. The epic conclusion to the Big Mom Pirates against La Spada had come to an abrupt end. It had been a battle to remember. Hundreds had fallen, and one remained. The town had been turned to shambles, ravines and cracks everywhere. The smoke had rise, leaving only a shadow in its wake. Smoothie and Daifunku had done it - Pespero had escaped.
La Spada had put their chips to the middle of the table. The Grim went to call the two's bluff - but it was not a bluff at all. Smoothie and Daifunku sacrificed themselves for the good of the family.
[La Spada] “How disgusting! How dare they die in such noble way! BLASTED!"
La Spada cursed. For whatever it was worth, to The Grim, she had lost this battle. Unable to turn Smoothie and Daufunku, even in the face of certain morbid death. Pespero had survived, and their sacrifice would be heard through the kingdom. Big Mom's family would be alerted.
Morbidly so, La Spada took the heads of Smoothie, Daifunku, Snack, and Amanda. Tamago's body was left in the rubble, after passing a sealstone blade through his heart to assure the kill. The blood from the heads dripped as La Spada tied them in one of her wires, underneath her cloak. La Spada, was still lamenting, cursing the family for their sacrifice.
La Spada looked to the distance. She still had the den den sushi left behind by Snack. The Grim looked to follow the trails to WCI Island.
The attack swung to hit Cracker, but Katakuri was still able save Cracker despite being the speed demon that Akira is. Perhaps due to the power of Katakuri? Unlikely to be of his Devil Fruit powers perhaps. But it is not something the boy would have time to consider. With Cracker safely out of the way, this would lead to using their overwhelmingly powerful attacks in quick succession, but despite this the boy already knew this is the case, Katakuri saving Cracker before doing so only made this idea more conclusive. The boy expected it. But what he did not expect was ground turning into mochi much like Katakuri’s powers whereby it would envelop the boy’s feet in a thick viscous substance, trapping the boy and preventing movement. But for the boy, he would only have to swing further – as he would do so. Swinging in a wide horizontal arc towards one side, with Katakuri and Cracker’s attacks. A powerful shockwave would reverberate the ground as it pushes and if not loosen the mochi grasp onto the boy’s feet but at the same time the wide arc of shockwave would hit both Katakuri’s and Cracker’s attack with varying results.
Name: Winter’s Dawn
Rank: A
Description: Using his physicality, the user swung his sword horizontally in front of him which generates a powerful shockwave as a result. This allows the user to blow away not just bullets, arrows but also even humans may be hit and be blown away by the shockwave. [Pic 1] (71 Shuurin, 71 Strength)
Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: +3 (Sword Bonus) = 9. Small Country Level
Vs Cracker: Akira wins
Vs Katakuri: Katakuri wins. 2 DPR remaining
The shockwave would destroy or deflect away most of Cracker’s attack on one side, but wasn’t strong enough to completely halt Katakuri’s attack. And on the other side the boy had to deal with the other wave of weapons coming towards him. But with his shockwave attack the boy was able to loosen the mochi and jump out of the trapped ground. Turning his weapon into a reverse grip the boy brought both arms to block the remainder of the attack. Utilizing his bladed wings, even though it is smaller and weaker – the power of the wings is enough to hold back the attack on both sides. Not even going to wait for the attack to end, the boy swung out his wings to deflect the remaining attacks as he immediately flies towards Cracker once more, his weapon still in reverse grip. This time, the boy knew what to expect in terms of their strategy. The boy would employ another method to weaken their strategy – something that La Spada would love. Provocation. Landing at the front, the boy knew of the mochi ground, thus he would destroy the ground as he landed, using the powerful talons and with a beat of his wings, he would aim to destroy the ground and to prevent that possibility from instantly capturing him again upon landing. The boy would finally speak beneath his raid suit. His voice stone cold – almost lacking emotion.
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: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + B: +2 (True Hybrid Blade Wings) = 8. Island Level
DPR vs Katakuri: Akira wins.
DPR vs Cracker: Negated.
Name: Apex Bomb Rank: B Description: Akira drops back down onto the ground with his feet and destroy the ground with immense force, generating a powerful shockwave around him accompanying by beating his wings at the same time. (51 mastery, 51 str)
“Twice. You are saved by the same man. Seems like you are as useless as the other one to the very end.”
The other one in this context was very logical to conclude, Akira was referring to none other than Opera, the brother whom died – that Cracker was rather emotional about when first met. The boy aimed to rile up Cracker, or even Katakuri. No matter who it is fine. But to provoke them into rage. Their strategy regardless of how Cracker and Katakuri is going to employ – requires coordination to a certain extent, that they would need to be calm in order to ensure their attacks don’t friendly fire. Katakuri himself has shown this – otherwise he would have attack both Akira and Cracker with his attack which would likely be more successful rather than pulling Cracker back for a coordinated combination of attacks. And through rage and recklessness, this would decrease the possibility of coordination. Without wasting further time. The boy attacked, his sword waving about with mere flicks of his wrists, creating whip-like air blades – turned jet black with Haki. Aiming to pass through Cracker at incredible speed, the boy aims to catch Cracker with the whip like motion of his attacks, which would not only defend himself from attacks but also make it difficult for Cracker to dodge, where even with Katakuri’s help would likely prevent the same from happening the second time. With his attacks, the boy would quickly lift himself off the air with a jump, turning back immediately.
Name: Autumn’s Petal

A loud crash shook the venue, blasting air, heat and kinetic energy all around. It had the potential to wipe out everything in the vicinity, luckily, for the pirates at least, Oven had warned them ahead of them. Seeking shelter within Brulée's mirror dimension. The dust and heat settled while Kallavan reformed back to his regular form. Moving his feet away from the defeated pirate, Kallavan would pick him up by his collar and tossed him to the side. Whether Oven was still alive or not did not matter to the Admiral, he had bigger fish to fry. The shadow that loomed over him had revealed that it was time.
Time to finally settle why he was here.
Kallavan would look up. Despite his own height, Kaido loomed over him like the giant and titan that he was. Casting a shadow over the Admiral who glared at him with piercing blue eyes. Kallavan would exhale, lowering the tension within his body. A burn mark the size of a hand quite visibly on his arm, it was second degree if not third degree. Life return would try and heal it to the best of its ability. But sadly it was no miracle salve, scar tissue would most likely remain on his arm until the end of times. Luckily the rest of his body, thanks to his durability and haki had remained within reasonable condition. These burn marks would fade with time. There was no sweat or any sigh of exertion from the marine, despite how high level the battle seemed. Kallavan had yet to break a sweat.
"At last, you're up and moving. Are you done drinking? Or haven't your tears dried yet?" Kallavan said, mockingly to the Old Yonko's situation.
A few meters were between Kallavan and Kaido, perhaps 3 at most. The Admiral was ready to react at a moment's notice. A fight was imminent until a shiver ran through the Admiral's spin. His ears started to ring as his vision shifted abruptly and without warning. He'd grit his teeth, trying his hardest to not grasp towards his head, he'd not want to show weakness at this point in time. Kallavan in that regard would succeed to some extent. The most Kaido would notice was the man frowning and perhaps biting his lip but whether his drunken state would notice it remained to be seen. The Admiral on the other hand would find flashes within his mind. A town burning, screams, shouts and a dark figure with blond hair he did not recognize.
That was all he'd receive before returning to the here and now. A vision? Was some higher power trying to warn him? He had experience supernatural events before but this felt different. There was nothing odd about this. It felt strangely familiar. Like a faded memory. But he had no recollection of this event. Just what was that?
There'd be no time to question it. But the Admiral hoped it wouldn't get any worse as time went on.
But that was wishful thinking on Kallavan's part.
"You defeated me last time Kaido. But this time is different. The world needs to see that monsters like you can be brought down." Kallavan said as he tossed his marine cloak to the side and loosened the tie within his suit.
Smoothie's and Daifuku's souls faded into the afterlife, uncaught and unsullied by La Spada's evil aura and intentions. The ghastly woman of death cursed the two, in disbelief that she had allowed them to pass away so nobly. Taking her rage out on their bodies, La Spada mutilated the corpses, including Tamago and Amande, cutting the heads off completely and recovering them under her cloak. She would take the heads to Big Mom. Potato Island was the first island in Totto Land to fall, and darkness was drawing ever so closer to the heart of Totto Land - Whole Cake Island.
La Spada pondered her next actions. Perospero had escaped, so he was now a valuable messenger that would warn Big Mom of what was coming. As for La Spada, she had Snack's Den Den Mushi, though what use it would be, or if she could force any use out of it, remained to be seen.
Elsewhere, there was a giant woman roaming. With every step she took, the ground shook. With every trembling of the ground, drops of her saliva hit the ground, strong enough to be acidic. Her location was unknown, and whether she was on Whole Cake Island, Potato Island, or somewhere inbetween, was anyone's guess, including her own. The woman was enraged, her eyes spinning, her self awareness fading.
Zeus... you damn ungrateful child...
And that... that MONKEY MAN! THAT MONKEY MAN WILL PAY WITH HIS LIFE! GRAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Mom roared, furious with what had happened. At this point, she was a walking, looming natural disaster. Her rage clouded her eyes and judgement, she was a ticking time bomb.
Katakuri's and Cracker's multiple, relentless attacks converged on Akira from multiple directions. Akira continued his initial swing, unleashing a powerful air blast to meet Katakuri's and Cracker's barrage of attacks from the front. Akira's effort was last minute and the attack that he unleashed was not able to meet Katakuri's in raw power, allowing Katakuri to push through - albeit the clash generating enough power to loosen the mochi that was trapping Akira's feet with its incredible viscocity. Cracker's second attack also came from behind, Akira now caught in a pincer attack. However, using his black Busou-shoku no Haki and cladding his wings with it, Akira jumped and turned his wings into strong shields. He took on both attacks. Katakuri's attack was weakened from the initial clash, while Cracker's attack lacked the overall strength to push through, allowing Akira to deflect both attacks.
From there, Akira, now in the air, descended, his feet transformed into sharp talons. He descended onto the ground, aiming to ravage and destroy it in an attempt to prevent Katakuri from turning it into mochi. However, Akira failed to consider one thing. Katakuri could turn the ground into mochi preventively. As such, just as Akira was about to collide with the ground, Katakuri shifted his foot, turning the ground of the entire street into mochi with rapid and incredible speed.
Akira, diving down with all of his speed, would come crashing into the mochi street. Akira boasted great power behind his attack, but now that the ground was already turned into mochi, the power would reverberate throughout the mochi substance, a lot of the power dissipating into the strange, highly malleable material.
After a few moments, the mochi settled from the rings of shockwave sent through it. Both of Akira's legs would be trapped inside it, up to above the knees, putting Akira into a very dangerous situation. Timing this perfectly, Katakuri would already be on the attack, a giant shadow appearing above Akira as Katakuri responded to his words.
Cracker will always have family to fall on, unlike a blood stained assassin like you.
Katakuri said. He had formed another gigantic fist of mochi, imbuing it with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The fist would descend onto the presumably trapped Akira, aiming to crush him with grand power.
DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
However, the attack, perhaps, was not even the most dangerous thing. It was Katakuri's words. Akira had tried to rile Cracker up using his words, but now it was Katakuri's words that would cut deep. After all, the assassin was a victim of a tough past.
As Katakuri fought, Cracker, now in the background, was visibly frustrated. Akira's words had affected him, filling him with rage. Cracker could not forgive himself for not having made it in time to save Opera. But, Katakuri's words would reassure him, channelling his rage into something more productive. Cracker was starting to produce a large amount of biscuit dust, forming it into large biscuits that would float around him. The biscuits would continue to build up in size and numbers. Katakuri noticed Cracker's actions and was well aware of what he was trying to do. For now, Katakuri would cover for him.
The towering Kaidou made his entrance, his hulking presence one that no man could ignore. Kaidou was holding his kanabo in his right hand, while holding a gourd of sake in his left hand. Kallavan removed his foot off of the defeated Oven, who was still breathing, but clearly out of it, likely for multiple days. The two figures walked a few steps toward one another, only a few meters of distance left between them. Kallavan spoke, asking Kaidou if he had woken up from his drunk nap, before stating that Kaidou might have defeated him before, but that this time around Kaidou would be the one to lose. Kaidou, a shadow still cast over his face, hiding his facial expressions, laughed in a low, deep tone. It wasn't a happy laugh or anything close to it.
Worororo... nothing has changed. Nothing ever does.
Kaidou said, his tone of voice that of slight disappointment.
There's a constant that never goes away. And that constant is my immortality. My unparalleled strength.
Kaidou said, raising his gourd of sake to his mouth and taking a few big gulps.
Gah... no matter how much I search for ''him'', I can never find him. Maybe I'm him...
Kaidou said, speaking of unknown and unclear things.
Maybe you're him...? I doubt it...
Kaidou said, before taking one step forward. Then, suddenly, he pushed off of the ground, closing the distance nigh instantly as invisible Busou-shoku no Haki rapidly clad his kanabo. Once in range, Kaidou swung his kanabo in a herculean manner, aiming to blow Kallavan away with aggressive power. As Kaidou swung, the shadow would leave his face, showing Kaidou's facial expression. It was that of a depressed man.
Ochikomi Jogo...!

Potato Island had fallen. Darkness swept through the land. The city was not the only one left in rubble. In that rubble, La Spada found a gift box. How quaint. With a sarcastic tone of malice, the woman put the heads in the large box, fitting with a pretty bow. In thi disgusting flavorful land, bows and treats were everywhere. La Spada would make sure to wrap with candy, for the very special Yonko recipient.
As she was heading out of town, La Spada picked up her den den mushi. She spoke to The Shadow, who should be amidst his battle.
[La Spada] “If that old hag is half the pirate she is known for, she must know or have a Poneglyph. Get me that information…!"
La Spada meant to get it from Katakuri and Cracker. La Spada had sources to let her know Big Mom had a Poneglyph, but it was scattered and unconfirmed. The two strongest sons, should know. They would raze Whole Cake Island for them, whether it be over their dead bodies or not.
La Spada had one target: the wedding. Big Mom’s haki and scream were so powerful, she and her children had heard it through their battle. It was palpable. The Grim had memorized the general location it came from. With that as a target, and with Awareness up and attentive, The Grim set off to Whole Cake Island. With her light-weight body, the woman ran on top of the water from Potato Island to Whole Cake Island, dragging the present with her.
Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
Vice-Admiral Sasaki and Royal Shichibukai Kuma met. Words exchanged, and the Vice-Admiral immediately knew this was not fated meeting. Someone had sent the intrepid man here. But who? Why? The bear’s words cut like a pin, ever prickling in Sasaki’s mind. The man mentioned it - Kuma knew too much. The bear offered to hear a message, to heed a call. Sasaki would hear it, as the man presented that small crystal, ever glowing.
PX-0 was not one to waste time. Those bear imprints on his hands closed together, crushing the crystal. From it, that glowing aura was released into the air. Upon touching the air, it turned pink. Sasaki could feel it, it had a signature of its own. A signature that smelled of makeup, fish, giddy, and emotion. Suddenly, that pink aura entree Kuma through the nostrils. Where once the man’s eyes were white, they turned pink. They turned pink as Kuma put on gloves - he knew what was coming.
A high-pitched voice took over.
[Kuma] “MARINE-CHWANNNNNN!!!!l
Brace yourself. The large man flashed a smile like a fool, like a doofus. With a skip, the once honorable calm man turned on something giddy. With another skip, much like an Okama, the burly man jumped at Sasaki, arms open. If unhindered, he would hug Sasaki tight. With a giddy okama voice, much different than his norm, the man shook Sasaki awkwardly. So awkwardly, it would be comical. A bear hug.
An Unsundered message. Kuma was not himself. Someone had taken over. Someone had opened a gate. An Old Gate.
Kallavan stood eye to eye with the demon. A man feared by pirates and marines alike. It gave Kallavan a sense of excitement he couldn't place, it was such a weird sensation after all. He was…excited? Odd, many would look upon this titan with knees shaking but not this marine. He couldn't even help but sport a small grin on his face. His blood was boiling, and his body was feeling a rush unlike anything he had experience prior. Standing in the face of certain death, wondering where his strength would take him. It were all factors that'd make him jump with joy. But he'd refrain from actually doing it, it'd be totally out of character.
Kaido would start to speak, lamenting his own legacy. Finding himself immortal and without equal and also searching for a certain someone. But who was he talking about? Kallavan narrowed his eyes and slide his left foot backwards, taking a fighting stance. Kallavan was prepared, his entire body on guard and able to react at a moment's notice.
But nothing could prepare him for what this battle would offer him.
With a sudden jolt of speed Kaido rushed towards him, dragging his club behind him. Momentum channelled into raw brute strength. Kallavan would widen his eyes. He could hardly follow Kaido even in his regular state, evasion was off the table. He'd have to clash with the man.
Right now!
Kallavan's left arm would latch out like a whip, hurling towards the massive club. A flicker jab, one of his faster punches, rushed towards the attack that could destroy veteran fighters with a single throw. Haki and hasshoken mixed and connected with the club causing winds and energy to violently explode outwards.

Still even with all of Kallavan's might. Kaido's blow was even greater and managed to win the struggle between them. It was slight and Kallavan could almost taste it. The Kanabo would push through all of Kallavan's strength and launched him backwards. But the force that was left over wasn't anything life threatening but reduced to perhaps the power of a regular punch if not less. Kallavan took that attack and used the backwards momentum to flip, allowing him to reach the ground after a couple of meters. A smile upon the marine's face was now perfectly visible. And then he dashed off, taking a turn to attack the titan himself. Appearing to disappear from view through his sprint.
Kallavan sprinted towards Kaido's left flank, the one not wielding his Kanabo. The marine ran with such agility that winds would almost buffet his eyes, but narrowing them and his experience running kept him from blinding himself. And within mere moments he'd arrive at his designated location. He'd immediately launch his right arm into a deadly punch. While it flew Hasshoken and Haki once again worked together around his right fist. The attack should it make contact would dig in deep into Kaido's skin as it rotated around Kallavan's attack, using rotation to enhance his strike even further. Also with each punch, Kaido would feel a force digging through his natural bulk. Whatever Kallavan was using it could pierce through his famed durability. Though it was very minimal.
"Howitzer!" Kallavan shouted.

The speediness of Katakuri was enough to put a stop to Akira, given his awakening allowed him to transform the surrounding environs into Mochi, fast enough to prevent Akira from making a counter-play likely thanks in part to shorter distance he is to Cracker as compared to Akira even at that range. No matter, it is not of a problem for the Assassin, the boy has deal with it a few times. Trapped in Mochi once more, his attack completely failed. Yet Katakuri’s voice would appear, having responding to Akira’s words instead of the seemly enraged Cracker. This time, Katakuri would try to rile the boy up with words on his own, stating that Cracker has a family to rely on while Akira does not. This definitely surprised the boy – for the man seems to be aware of his situation, or simply out of pure luck that he would read the situation. As he spoke, a large mochi fist would slam down above him – aiming to smash Akira into smithereens. The boy however, is quick to react – already using his sword to defend himself against the attack. Though perhaps the surprise caught Akira off-guard enough for him to only defend himself without the use of Haki.
Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: +3 = 9. Small Country Level vs Katakuri's DPR
Result: Katakuri wins. 2 DPR remaining
Akira's Dura: 8. Island Level (121+, Zoans only) vs 2 DPR.
Result: DPR 2 or more below dura: Not very effective
The fist would come smashing down, against the boy as he would guard closely with the sword. Yet the Haki enhanced fist perhaps for the first time managed to break through Akira’s defence. The impact of the force even hitting the blade down upon the boy’s shoulders as it would slightly cut into the boy with the remaining power of the fist. Not just bleeding pain but the bruising force of the fist would bruise Akira. Perhaps they have finally put down the Assassin.
“You are right, I do not have a family.”
The boy spoke out of a sudden, with an immediate counterattack to the mochi fist – the boy would suddenly slice and cut away the fist in half in a swing of his sword. Taking only mere seconds to do so. The impact of the fist and the sword clash have generated enough wind and shockwave to once again push the mochi that has moved up to his knees into loosening itself. And the boy would take advantage of that immediately. Katakuri has shown twice that he is trying to trap Akira with Mochi, and with the large fist it is almost of no brainer that the man would try to completely entrap the boy with it, thus the need to attack from above. With that in mind the boy would not give that opportunity for that to happen. Whether Katakuri has something in mind of this or not did not matter to the boy, for he is aware of the versatility of the power that Katakuri has shown thus far. Beating his wings for a second, more wind would generate from the flap of his wings, aiming to push Mochi away further from his feet at the same time of his jump. Immediately flying high up into the air, Katakuri has perhaps left his home advantage temporarily – he is unlikely to be able to turn air into mochi like he did with the ground, and in the air – Akira has the advantage. Being the eater of a Zoan that allows flight. And for a mere moment of Katakuri’s attack, an opportunity to severely injure has arrived.

With incredible speed, the boy flew all around Katakuri, aiming to cut him with every swing of his sword in mid-air of five times. Like an omnislash, it would leave very little room for Katakuri to react especially given his case of being in the air. Dodging would be much more difficult to do so. Each swing imbued with Haki, and each strike aimed to bifurcate Katakuri, no matter if he is a Logia or Paramecia, it would be unlikely to survive having his body cut in half like that. The boy would remain in the air, beating his wings in intervals to remain afloat in the air upon the completion of the technique. While it is true that the boy does not have a family, a problem came to attempting to rile up Akira did not work that way. Katakuri has a family, thus he cannot relate to the boy – his attempts to rile up the boy with not just a twisted a mind-set, but have been suffering through despair and torture with the Spada Pirates for almost half of his life – words may cut deep but for the boy such words have cut so much that he develops a resistance to it. His words are nothing compared to what he has been through with the Spada Pirates, their laughs, their torment. And now, the boy aimed to show the Charlotte family the despair he felt. What’s good the use of relying upon a family if he’s the only one left? The boy would make sure Cracker understood it. That his reliance has made him weak.

Charlotte Opera. Charlotte Amande. Officer Tamago. Charlotte Daifuku. Charlotte Smoothie. Those were the victims of the raid of Totto Land so far, and all of the victims were at the hands of the La Spadas. A bloody battle between two great pirate crews, one currently greater than the other, though the names of the victims wouldn't show it. But, there was something that a Yonkou crew had, that no other crew did. And that was an Emperor. The four greatest, strongest, most respected and most feared pirates in the whole world. Pirates that could single handidly challenge the World Government, and force the Navy to meet the challenge with all of their power. One such Yonkou was Charlotte Linlin, feared throughout the world as Big Mom.
No matter how many of the Big Mom Pirates' crew members were defeated and killed. No matter how much of Totto Land was destroyed, or even occupied. Until Big Mom fell, it all meant absolutely nothing. Big Mom and Kaidou were still the strongest pirates in Totto Land right now, and that included La Spada.
La Spada knew that. She knew that to dominate, she had to bring down the Yonkou. She also knew that to truly rise as a threat to the world, she had to find the Yonkou's greatest treasure. The red clad, Road Poneglyph. One of four that together, would reveal the location of what every pirate in the world sought to obtain. The One Piece.
The first thing to do was to let Akira know. La Spada demanded information of the Poneglyph, though whether Akira would receive that message at the moment, was unclear. He was facing a very dangerous opponent. As for La Spada herself, she set out for Whole Cake Island. Leaving Potato Island in ruins, darkness and a cloud of foul energy, La Spada went out to sea. With her light body of bones and her incredible speed, La Spada was able to race across the top of the sea, like the sea demon of death. Leaving behind a trail of foul water, La Spada started to approach the shores of Whole Cake Island. However, what stood in her path, was surprising. La Spada had run into her target sooner than she had expected.
On the horizon of the sea, somewhere halfway between Potato Island and Whole Cake Island, a storm was brewing at first glance. As La Spada looked closer, she would see it. A thundercloud homie, black in color like a raging stormcloud, crackling with powerful electricity, was kicking up a lightning death storm. Named Hera, she was the replacement of Zeus. Hera was large in size, several dozen times larger than when calm, and standing atop Hera was the Empress herself. Big Mom the Yonkou. With beady, red eyes, Big Mom was in one of her rage pangs, destroying everything in her path without any awareness to the consequences of her actions. Boiling with madness, Big Mom had nothing but one thing on her mind. Her territory was under attack, and her own soul, Zeus, had betrayed her.
Katakuri's enormous fist of mochi and black Busou-shoku no Haki descended onto Akira, who was trapped in a pool of mochi. Akira raised his sword, aiming to use it to block. The fist collided with the sword, and the downward pressure of Katakuri's attack pushed Akira even deeper into the mochi, now up to his waist. After all, Akira had no solid ground to stand on to meet the downward pressure - the ground itself had been turned into mochi. The collision of Katakuri's fist and Akira's sword sent shockwaves far and wide. The shockwaves were at their strongest at the center, causing the pool of mochi to be pushed outward and Akira to be set free. As the large biscuits floated around Cracker, continuing to build up, Akira decided to go after Katakuri - having realized that Katakuri's fast and long reaching abilities would make it difficult to go after Cracker without interference.
Akira flapped his wings, shooting up into the air, where Katakuri was. From there, Akira flapped his wings again, bursting into a quick movement that aimed to blitz past Katakuri multiple times, slashing him each time he passed him. When Akira came up into the air, Katakuri's left arm suddenly transformed into mochi, transforming into a black Busou-shoku no Haki hardened spinning drill of mochi. Akira's right arm, meanwhile, turned into a spiked club made out of black Busou-shoku no Haki clad mochi. Meeting Akira's first slash head on, Katakuri hurled his left, drilling arm forward, clashing against Akira's sword.
Katakuri's DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
When Katakuri's drill collided with Akira's sword, the momentary clash resulted in a shockwave - but the clash ended as quickly as it had started, with Akira showing greater power. Katakuri, up in the air and without footing, was pushed back. Akira blitzed past him, getting behind Katakuri before flapping his wings again, now rushing Katakuri from behind with the second slash. Katakuri grit his teeth, realizing that it was time to step things up a notch - in front of him, or rather behind him at this moment in time, was a very strong opponent. Katakuri couldn't turn around without footing, so his entire torso turned into mochi, twisting around and turning Katakuri's upper body toward the incoming Akira, like an owl twisting its neck 180 degrees. When Akira closed the distance and slashed, Katakuri once again hurled his left, drilling arm forward. However, Katakuri's eyes glowed red momentarily - he peered into the split second future. Timing it perfectly, when Akira's sword collided with the drill, the drill softened and turned into mochi, absorbing the attack with its malleable form. Akira's attack was stopped at its second slash, the sword stuck in the mochi. Then, Future Sight still in use, Katakuri hurled his right arm downward, aiming to drive the black Busou-shoku no Haki hardened spiked kanabo of mochi right down onto Akira, sending him crashing out of the sky. Due to the surprise nature of Katakuri choosing not to clash a second time, but rather make the mochi malleable to capture Akira, as well as Katakuri's ability to glance into the future, as well as the size of the spiked mochi club, this follow up attack would be incredibly difficult to avoid altogether.
Zan Giri Mochi...!
120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
The wedding venue became grounds for a fight to the death between Yonkou Kaidou and Marine Vice Admiral Kallavan. Yonkou Kaidou rushed forth, dragging his trusted kanabo behind him. When in range, he swung it forward, invisible Busou-shoku no Haki flowing. Alcohol and depression fueld him, causing him to lash out at Kallavan, who stood in his way. Kaidou's speed, despite his formidable size, was great, which forced Kallavan into a quick parry. Snapping his fist forward in the form of a strong but quick punch, Kallavan's hand collided with Kaidou's kanabo. Momentum was on the side of Kaidou, with Kallavan employing stronger, more concentrated Haki in order to somewhat equalize. Kaidou still came out on top, blowing Kallavan away and displaying dominance. This was power that Kaidou had not displayed in his last fight with Kallavan. Now, Kaidou was at his drunkest, and strongest. Kallavan flipped in the air before landing, and then took off once again, going to Kaidou's left flank, where he did not have a weapon to parry with. Instead, in his left hand was the gourd of sake. With his weapon not making it in time, and his gourd of sake too precious, Kaidou decided to take the attack head on. Swinging his arms wide and opening up his torso, Kallavan's fist came ripping into Kaidou's body.
Kallavan's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level
Kaidou's Durability: 120: 7. Mountain Level + COA: +3 = 10. Large Country Level
The skin around the punch twisted and Kaidou was sent reeling. A good twenty meters or so later, Kaidou slammed his kanabo into the ground, using it to come to a stop. Not reacting to the attack nor going back onto the counter offensive, the moment Kaidou came to a stop he simply lifted his left arm, bringing the gourd of sake to his mouth again. Gulping down, Kaidou drank some more.
Gah...
Kaidou grunted, the sake hitting the spot. Dragon scales and black Busou-shoku no Haki were seen fading from the spot where Kallavan's punch had landed. A bruise was left behind, but nothing Kaidou could feel - especially in his drunken stupor. His cheeks got more red and Kaidou spoke.
That packed a good punch. But there's no way a punch will kill me. You'll have to cut my head off... wororororo...!
Kaidou proclaimed. Widening his stance, Kaidou swung his kanabo once again, this time from a distance. The swing of the kanabo unleashed a powerful shockwave, ripping through the battlefield as it approached Kallavan. Invisible Busou-shoku no Haki tempered the shockwave, making it stronger - enough so to bring down a large castle.
Kongo Kabura...!
