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.
The Monkey King challenged Kuma to say what he wanted to say - to speak what he knew. The situation was somewhat tense. In response, Kuma presented the crystal that he had mentioned, holding it in his hands. Sasaki's facial expression did not change, so whether he recognized the crystal or not was anyone's guess. The bear imprints on Kuma's palms were used, and the Shichibukai crushed the crystal in his hands, causing it to burst apart - shards of crystal flying about. From the broken crystal, a mysterious aura flowed out, soon turning pink. Kuma put his gloves back on, as if he knew something was going to happen. This act did not escape Sasaki's eyes, his right eyebrow raising in suspicion. The pink aura, similar to a pink cloud, suddenly moved, flowing up Kuma's nostrils. That one really caught Sasaki off guard, prompting him to stand back up, as if comically on guard.
What in the world is happe-!
Before Sasaki could even complete his sentence, Kuma's eyes turned pink, his voice went up in pitch, and he jumped. With arms spread wide, Kuma jumped at Sasaki, screaming at him ''Marine-chwan'' like a total doofus. The bearhug collided with Sasaki, Kuma's size and weight bringing Sasaki down to the ground comically. With the goofball of pink aura now sitting atop Sasaki, the Monkey King looked at him dumbfounded and confused.
Good lord, what's going on here? Get off of me would ya?
Sasaki said, not angry or annoyed - but rather just taken aback. It looked like someone had taken over Kuma, but who was it? Sasaki did not know.
The Sea
Behind was Potato Island in ruins. The bounty was the gift box trailing behind La Spada, laced with food goodies. A present for the great Yonko. With no time to waste, The Grim took to the sea and made her way to Whole Cake Island, towards where she heard Big Mom’s scream, an unmistakable force of nature that was felt through the whole territory. In the distance, a heavy thunderstorm marked a deep area. La Spada could not make sense of it, until the infamous pink haired Yonko of the seas came into view.
Enter Big Mom. La Spada had used her soul to freeze a patch of sea and stood, looking at Big Mom in the distance. Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
[La Spada] “W-w-hat is wrong with mah’? Why won’t mah’ leg move?"
La Spada was frozen, figuratively this time. Standing in the patch of ice, The Grim’s right leg would not move. Try as she might, the boney leg made no advance. The woman felt no fear, conciously, but perhaps subconsciously, the body knew. The body knew to fear the strongest woman in the seas. The body knew to fear those who had rules the seas for half a century. For those moments, the Chill was not her own.
Suddenly, La Spada was transported to the last time her body would not move, even upon command.
50 years ago - Saboday Archipielago said:
In the Sundered World, in an unnamed grove in Saboday Archipielago, the scourge of the seas was found scattered. A trap laid by one of their own.
The camera opened through the blurry eyes of a woman with jet black hair, Maria-style attire, and a thick scar over her face. Human. The Captain of the Spada Pirates, Isis, when human, gripped the land in front of her, crawling towards the ship at the end of the grove. To her left, her peripheral showed Admiral Torque, face-up and unconscious. The two had knocked each other out, in a trap where the infamous pirate crew was cornered like rats. But whom?
A moment before Isis reached her ship, a familiar boot stepped on her fleshy hand. The pirate captain looked up at the traitor. Her wicked eyes grew wide in shock,
[La Spada] “Et ‘tu, Nephthys…?”
The woman clad in a shadow stepped harder on La Spada’s outreached arm, breaking it. Though a shadow was clad on her face, tears could be seen streaming down Nephthys. Yet, Isis did not move. She was frozen. Her hate boiled, but her body, her body would not move. Frozen. Frozen by the betrayal that would end her life. A betrayal of kin.
The camera warped back into the present time, to the present world. La Spada audibly gasped, coming back from the deepest reaches of her soul. The calm sarcastic demeanor that made her infamous was broken. Those cold calculating eyes became alive with newfound hate. The woman looked at her right leg disgusted, taking the Meito blade off her leg.
The blade was risen above her head.
[La Spada] “I SAID MOVE!! (Nephthys!)!!”
With a shout, The Grim cut her right leg by the femur, cleanly. The last of her words showed her anger was not directed at her body, but at that which betrayed her in a world past. The Captain skidded to the ice cap, almost falling over to the sea. Green light enveloped the bisected femur, slowly connecting to her leg again. It moved again.
The dead know no fear.
La Spada now found herself just outside the range of the thunderstorm, again freezing a sizable chink of ice to stand on. The Grim looked up, her eyes brimming with newfound confidence and a bloodlust Big Mom could feel. The Underworld had found Big Mom.
[La Spada/Voices] “CHARLOTTE LINLIN!!!!!”
Just like it was in Wano, La Spada’s voice overlapped with the voice of legion, for they are many. The Underworld who had been awaiting their revenge from that which played with them. The Underworld would have reckoning. Today, the old era would fall, in the day of the Yonko children’s wedding. Presents and all.
Kallavan's punch dug in deep and managed to exert enough force to push the Yonko away from him. But through contact and a quick glance at the Yonko he knew that this simply wasn't enough. It was a reality Kallavan was forced to observe. It seemed the booze fuelled him or amplified his already incredible attributes. After being blown away the Yonko would straighten himself and took another swing from his gourd of alcohol.
Scales and haki faded only leaving a forgettable bruise on the source of impact. A bruise meant nothing at the level these two fighters found themselves in. The sake quickly took root within Kaido's body it'd turned his cheeks red and most likely extended his drunken state.
"We'll just have to try won't we?" Kallavan replied as immediately readied himself, widening his stance to a well balanced one.
And not a moment too soon. For Kaido spoke and swung with his club once more using his strength and its weight to release a shockwave in a beam like shape. With his feet wide apart Kallavan quickly replied by kicking, with his right leg upwards, the air in front of him. The explosive force from this kick would unleash an air blade from Kallavan's right leg, racing to meet Kaido's own long rage attack.
"Rankyaku!"

The two attacks met and clashed leaving only a very short struggle. The Rankyaku pierced and sliced the Kongo Kabura but unfortunately the latter was only slightly stronger. Which gave it enough to fully push through, Kallavan brought up his arms through reflex. A cross guard in front of his face and body. The leftover damage would hit his arms, pushing him through the ground for perhaps a meter or so. The clash would result in steam coming from his arms, dark spots on his arms would give enough indication that Kaido's force was more than enough to wound him. He had to be careful. Tanking this man without any mitigation would surely make a short end of this fight. Kallavan would lower his arms and took another stance. His right arm would be upfront while his left was sheathed to his side, keeping it close to his body. The right and left fist glowed with energy turning it gleaming black.
"Hasshoken Hissatsu Series."
Kallavan said as he dashed forward dragging both his arms behind him, sprinting towards Kaido with nearly all he had. Once the distance was crossed he'd hurl both his hands forward into a dual palm strike towards Kaido's abdomen. The power behind this attack was intense which even Kaido in his drunken stupor would be able to feel, his instincts would most likely scream it.
"Gamma Mörser!" Kallavan shouted while energy ripped through the air in front of him.

The aerial battle commenced, Akira attempted to cut Katakuri through a series of fast moving slashes from all directions much like an Omnislash, however Katakuri’s versatility with his fruit enabled him to simply transform his body, and his arm into a drill to defend – yet the next movement the boy used, which aimed for the back would presumably guaranteed a hit given his speed. Yet Katakuri merely transformed his body into Mochi to create a situation that allows him to trap Akira by turning himself 180 immediately. With the blade trap inside the Mochi-drill of his left arm, the boy’s weapon stucked. But Katakuri isn’t done yet – for he would bring forth a spiked Mochi kanabo right down onto Akira – the timing is perfect. Akira’s blade trapped into malleable Mochi-drill only serves to allow the boy to disrupt his attacks easily. Using the Observational Haki to ensure he could deal with Katakuri’s attack, the boy would only have to defend himself. Lifting his bladed wings just above his head while moving his own head down to shorten the distance that he need to move his arm to defend.
Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + B: +2 = 8. Island Level vs Katakuri's DPR
Result: Katakuri win. DPR remaining: 3
Akira's Dura: 8. Island Level (121+, Zoans only) vs 3 DPR:
Result: DPR 2 or more below dura: Not very effective
The attack clashed, that Katakuri’s attack would overpower Akira’s attack – hitting the boy down onto his wings as the spiked kanabo would slightly pierce into the wings of the Assassin. This would undoubtedly ensure the Akira would be knocked out of the sky and back into ground, if not for a single problem. The blade trapped inside Katakuri’s transformed arm. Using the force of the attack, Akira pulled Katakuri along with the result of the attack – and with this Katakuri became an anchor that would slowed the impact of the attack aimed to send Akira crashing down. And that much is needed for Akira to counterattack. Being a user of a flying Zoan, it is easy for the boy to simply get regain flight, that thanks to anchorage that Katakuri unintentionally become he was not sent down to the ground – but with the pull, the boy would let go of his sword momentarily as he started to transform back to the other Beast-Hybrid form, as his shorter wings would expand once more to larger wings. At the same time of the transformation, Akira immediately flapped his wings as he spun about himself in mid-air, regaining control of flight in mid-air but his right talon would imbue in Haki, turning jet back as well – using the momentum of the spin with incredible speed the boy kicks the sword trap inside the drilled arm. A kick strong enough with the help of Talon point to further increase the power behind the kick that it should easily pierce through Katakuri’s transformed arm and even past his non-Mochi parts of the body like butter – a devastating attack. Even if Katakuri would drop the sword that is stuck into his arm it would matter little to Akira, for all he needed is to aim with his kick. And especially with the very likely case of being pulled by Akira, dodging or dealing with the attack at this point blank range would be very difficult. With this attack, the boy would temporarily be unable to use his sword until he would search for it again – which would be after the battle. Upon that, the boy would immediately complete his swing and whilst still in mid-air would delivery a cross-slash aimed at his upper neck with his Haki-imbued bladed wings upon the still likely in mid-air Katakuri should he still be close to the boy.

Rank: B
Description: The user drops his weapon and quickly follow up with a kick to the sword's base, propelling the weapon towards the direction in which the kick does, and then immediately follow up with either another weapon in hand or unarm attacks. Depending on where the weapon lands, one may have to fight unarm momentarily till the weapon is recovered. Can be used as a surprise attack or even distraction. This is more of a universal technique in which any weapon can be used, technically. (61 Shuurin, 61 Reaction, 61 Strength)
Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
Marine-Chwaaaaaaannnn!! The hulking of a man jumped on to of Sasaki, cuddling and hugging him to no end. Comically, given the size, reputation, and hulking size of the Tyrant Bartholomeo Kuma. What replaced the calm and stern PX-0 was an airy, comical, gay demeanor, one which was accentuated by the pink color that now replaced Kuma's lenses. Truly, it fit to take a rocket scientist to understand Kuma had been taken over. As a conscious machine, Kuma was probably the only person in the world who could be such a conduit, and it sought Sasaki specifically.
The man let go of Sasaki, still uncomfortably close when he spoke with a high-pitch.
[Kuma/Sensui] “Sorry, Marine-schwan! It's been decades sine I hugged anyone, ya know?! Man, my heart is pumping! Or... whatever this bucket of bolts has! Thankfully, his make-up is what makes me able to speak through him!"
Sensui spoke first, releasing some tension. He noted it was decades since he was able to hug anyone, hinting he was older than his personality would suggest. The okama kept speaking gibberish, not getting to the point. It would take Sasaki re-directing him for the man to begin to speak properly.
[Kuma/Sensui] “Hehe! Sorry! I'm just excited is all! Right! I had something important to say. I don't have a lot of time left! This hulk of bolts can only hold me for a little bit more!"
With those last words, the man changed his tone. Suddenly, the machine sat down cross-legged, like an Okama, and sighed. With that, a more calm tone came next, though still very much high-pitched.
[Kuma/Sensui] "You are the only one who I can give this message to, whom I can place my hopes in. The only one who can save her from madness. You see, you are one of few that bears the soul of the Old Ones. One with destiny tied to the Void Century.
[Kuma/Sensui] "I've come to talk to you about my Pandora. I've come to talk to you about her. Isis Warsong, the one you call "La Spada".
La Spada ran across the sea, moving hastily toward Whole Cake Island. At the halfway point between Potato Island and Whole Cake Island, she would see a storm brewing in the distance. Upon closer inspection, the perpetrator of the storm was revealed. Up above the sea, standing atop a raging thundercloud, was none other than the Empress herself. Yonkou Big Mom. Her beady red eyes and raging actions made it quite obvious that Big Mom was enraged, likely on one of her pangs. The thundercloud was a female, Hera, the replacement of Zeus, who had betrayed Big Mom. None of this would be common knowledge for La Spada, but the information was there nonetheless. La Spada approached, freezing a part of the sea to create an ice slab to stand on. At first, La Spada's very body was afraid of Big Mom and her might, but La Spada quickly disciplined her body, getting herself readt for the bout of the ages.
Then, with a battle cry of a thousand souls' voices overlapping, La Spada roared toward Big Mom, calling the Yonkou by her name. Big Mom, despite her rage pang, was able to hear La Spada. She turned toward her, staring at her with her large, red, beady eyes.
Mamama... You... another nuisance...
Big Mom said, speaking oddly due to her mental state. Standing on Hera, with Napoleon in her right hand and Prometheus floating next to her, Big Mom attacked immediately, aiming to sink La Spada to the bottom of the sea. Raising Napoleon up into the air and toward the sky, Big Mom commanded Hera to shoot.
Fry that brat, Hera!
Big Mom said, swinging Napoleon.
Yes mama!
Hera said, discharging a myriad of thunderbolts, bombarding the area below, including La Spada's position, with a mighty thunderstorm. Multiple lightning bolts, enhanced with invisible Busou-shoku no Haki, would seek La Spada - and while she could not be electrocuted, the concussive force of the blasts, as well as the bone charring heat of the lightning, were a threat.

Akira's sword collided with Katakuri's drill. However, it was a trap. The hard mochi drill immediately softened, turning the mochi highly malleable. The sword would stab into the drill, but the thick mochi and the black Busou-shoku no Haki would trap the sword inside.
With his opponent now trapped, Katakuri immediately went onto the counterattack. His other arm, transformed into a spiked club of hardened, black Busou-shoku no Haki clad mochi, came downward, slamming into Akira from above. Akira blocked with his bladed wings, preventing Katakuri from landing a decisive blow. However, Akira was blown downward. With the sword caught inside the drill, Katakuri was pulled downward along with Akira, the two now descending toward the ground.
With little time before they'd come crashing to the ground, Akira knew he had to counterattack quickly. Letting go of his sword, Akira enlargened his wings, using aerial maneuverability to spin around and unleash a powerful spinning kick toward Katakuri's drill. Using Haki, Akira aimed to sever the drill, along with Katakuri's arm. However, the drill would suddenly instantly harden again and start to spin. Akira's talon would collide with the spinning drill, sparks of the clash of Hakis erupting.

Katakuri's DPR (drill): 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
The collision of Akira's kick and Katakuri's spinning drill lasted a few moments, before the drill was ultimately cut through. Akira's sword was sent flying a distance away when released from the spinning drill, and Katakuri was pushed a few meters back. The drill fell apart and a cut was seen on Katakuri's arm - though the cut was not too deep, and the bleeding was not severe at all. Akira followed up, slashing with his bladed wings and unleashing an X shaped flying slash. Katakuri swung his mochi kanabo, the kanabo colliding with the flying slash. The two attacks were equal in power this time around. The flying slash was destroyed, and Katakuri's arm transformed back from its kanabo shape into a normal arm. Katakuri had sustained some damaged, but Akira had lost his sword. The battle continued.
Akira's DPR (X attack): 6. City Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
Katakuri's DPR (Mochi Kanabo): 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 11. Small Continent Level
Ready, Cracker?
Katakuri said, a large shadow falling on Akira. If he looked over his shoulder, he'd see that Cracker had formed a giant sized, demon esque Biscuit Soldier, armed with two horns, nine arms, six legs, wielding six swords and three shields. Katakuri disappeared from his position and appeared on the giant Biscuit Soldier's shoulder. It was time for round two.
As the battle between Big Mom and La Spada was just starting, out at open sea, the battle between Kaidou and Kallavan was already well underway, up on Whole Cake chateau.
Kaidou swung his kanabo, unleashing a powerful, beam like blast of air toward Kallavan. Kallavan swung his leg, unleashing a Rankyaku in kind - aiming to clash with Kaidou attack for attack. Kaidou's attack would come out on top yet again, showing that he truly was the biggest brute of them all. His air blast clashed with Kallavan's air slash, the two pushing for supremacy momentarily before the Rankyaku gave in. The remnants of the air blast collided with Kallavan, who met the attack head on by putting up a guard. The air blast faded after pushing Kallavan back a good meter or so, leaving him with somewhat bruised arms - though the damage was barely felt, and the two men were simply warming up at this point in time.
Now it was time for Kallavan to return the favor yet again. He adopted a new stance, the palms of his hands brimming with energy and Haki. Pushing off of the ground, Kallavan charged toward Kaidou. Once he was in range, Kallavan hurled his hands forward, unleashing a powerful dual palmed strike, aiming to collide with Kaidou's abdomen and unleash a powerful shockwave. Kaidou's facial expression frowned, turning from depression to what looked more like anger. Kaidou brought up his left arm, using the forearm as a guard to block Kallavan's palm strike with. Black dragon scales were seen covering both of Kaidou's arms, signalling that he was once again using the power of the dragon, as well as his black Busou-shoku no Haki.
Kallavan's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +3 = 10. Large Country Level
Kallavan's palms would collide with Kaidou's bulking forearm, the shockwave ripping into the arm - but the Yonkou's bones and muscles were too dense for the arm to be damaged severely. Kaidou's feet would be pushed a meter or so backward, but then, his counterattack came - both of his arms, and now his kanabo, still clad with black Busou-shoku no Haki. Swinging his kanabo, Kaidou unleashed a rapid series of strikes with the kanabo, aiming to barrage Kallavan with a powerful, relentless attack.
Gundari Ryuseigun...!
120: 5. Town Level + A:+3 + COA: +3 = 11. Small Continent Level
With anger still on his face, Kaidou spoke.
What's wrong with you, brat? You seem weaker than back on Onigashima...
Kaidou said, taunting Kallavan to show his progress.

Marine-Chwaaaaaaannnn!! The hulking of a man jumped on to of Sasaki, cuddling and hugging him to no end. Comically, given the size, reputation, and hulking size of the Tyrant Bartholomeo Kuma. What replaced the calm and stern PX-0 was an airy, comical, gay demeanor, one which was accentuated by the pink color that now replaced Kuma's lenses. Truly, it fit to take a rocket scientist to understand Kuma had been taken over. As a conscious machine, Kuma was probably the only person in the world who could be such a conduit, and it sought Sasaki specifically.
The man let go of Sasaki, still uncomfortably close when he spoke with a high-pitch.
[Kuma/Sensui] “Sorry, Marine-schwan! It's been decades sine I hugged anyone, ya know?! Man, my heart is pumping! Or... whatever this bucket of bolts has! Thankfully, his make-up is what makes me able to speak through him!"

With those last words, the man changed his tone. Suddenly, the machine sat down cross-legged, like an Okama, and sighed. With that, a more calm tone came next, though still very much high-pitched.
[Kuma/Sensui] "You are the only one who I can give this message to, whom I can place my hopes in. The only one who can save her from madness. You see, you are one of few that bears the soul of the Old Ones. One with destiny tied to the Void Century.
[Kuma/Sensui] "I've come to talk to you about my Pandora. I've come to talk to you about her. Isis Warsong, the one you call "La Spada".
The pink machine of love finally got off of Sasaki, apologizing to him while calling him ''Marine-schwan''. The man stated that it had been decades since he had hugged anyone, and that he had gotten excited. A drop of sweat rolled down the side of Sasaki's face. Sasaki had a good sense of humor, so he didn't mind monkeying around - in fact, it was in his monkey nature. But, he did redirect the pink man to the point, asking him what was going on. After all, all of this was strange, and it was giving Sasaki an eerie feeling deep down. He knew something troublesome would happen next. He had a feeling of that much.
When the okama soul finally got serious and sat down, the tone changed almost immediately. He said that he had a message to give, and that Sasaki was the only one that he could give this message to. He had to place his hopes into someone, and Sasaki was the only one that he could place them into. Sasaki's eyebrows furrowed. This man seemed to think a lot of Sasaki and seemed to have great faith in Sasaki - and yet, the two did not know each other. At least Sasaki couldn't recollect knowing anyone who spoke like this man does. However, the pink man's next words explained it all.
The soul of the old ones. A destiny tied to the Void Century.
Sasaki's face immediately frowned. How did this man know tbat? How did he know about Sasaki's secret? That was impossible. Almost no one in this time knew about that. Sengoku was one who did, but he was not a man to spill secrets. Before Sasaki could ask, the pink man continued. He had come to talk to Sasaki about his Pandora. Isis Warsong. Sasaki's eyes immediately widened in shock. The one they called... La Spada.
O-Oi... who the hell are you?
Sasaki said with a serious look on his face.
What exactly do you know about me? Speak now.
Sasaki said, demanding in his tone. The atmosphere rose in tension. The pink man clearly knew something that he shouldn't. And Sasaki was not pleased about it.
The assassin swerved in mid-air into a kick, using his powerful physical strength, Haki and the sharpness of the sword to deliver a powerful attack. But Katakuri’s quick reactions allowed him to solidify his own defences through his arm once more, causing a clash between the two different techniques. Thankfully for Akira, his attacks were stronger, allowing the kick to pierce through his Mochi arms, the drill dissolving presumably back to his original arm shape as Akira’s sword is flung a distance away. It would be hard to pick up the sword in the middle of the combat, but the boy still possesses his Devil Fruit powers to match. A decent cut would pierce into Katakuri’s arm, a superficial wound to say the least but like Akira the man has some form of damage taken now as well. Following that, both Akira and Katakuri would clash once more, wings against the kanabo-shaped arm. This time however, the attacks are more equal – thus all that it would result in was a push back by both sides with no damage incurred on both sides. Katakuri would suddenly speak, referring to the other person – Cracker and behind him is a large ‘Cracker’ figure, demonized like a monster with its less-humanoid form that Cracker has chosen to take, presumably hiding within its giant size. Katakuri would appear on the giant’s shoulder – it is back to 2 versus 1.
Looking upon the giant figure in front of him, the demonized form is harder to understand, is this an amalgamation of several soldiers into one? Or perhaps a form of trickery where several soldiers are pretending to be fused into the being before him? The boy does not know the answer, and with its giant size it is imperative that the Assassin would tread carefully – there is a strategy that Katakuri and Cracker has been trying to employ, but this time – Akira could make an educated guess – with Katakuri’s powers he could assume another strategy, one that combines the Mochi powers with the giant Cracker. With his original hybrid form, the larger wings allowed the boy to maintain flight rather than glide slowly with his other form. With a flap of wings however, Akira would move close to the other side of the giant Cracker, though unlike Katakuri he did not attempt to stand on the shoulders. Instead he would stay in mid-air closely, that with Cracker’s giant form moving its limbs for attack in just close proximity would be impossible without turning around, and with it by turning its actions would be easily read. The boy however, he also well aware that Cracker is also likely to manifests more of weapons and his soldiers out of nowhere – after all with the versatility of both fruits his opponents have, nothing is too surprising any more. The boy did not attack, but he instead quietly waits, to see what the figure is capable of, or rather if he understood what they attempting to do.
Kallavan's attack had launched him forward like a bullet. His dual palm strike hitting against Kaido's left arm, which he had positioned to guard himself against the strike. Together with his nigh impenetrable skin and haki Kallavan had found himself striking something far more durable than perhaps titanium. Kaido's bulk still impressed Kallavan even after having fought the man for the second time. The shockwave that was unleashed would be cushioned by the Yonko's defences and eventually reduced to a very minor wound or shock on his limbs. The resulting power was only enough to push the man back for perhaps a meter, far too low for an attack that Kallavan had graded as one of his most destructive attacks. The Admiral couldn't help but click with his mouth and tongue.
"Tsk."
Kallavan also knew that a counter from the Yonko would come almost immediately. His arms would be clad with thick black haki and his arms snapped forward in a technique that resembled that of the Yonko. The two now engaged in high speed combat as if multiple iterations of their self were fighting together.
81-100: 3. Large Building Level +3(A) +3(Haki) = 9. Small Country Level Leftover DPR: 61-80: 2. Small Building Level
DPR 1 below dura: somewhat effective
While the battle between the two titans seemed equal at the start it quickly became apparent that Kaido was overtaking the speed in this exchange. For every blow that Kallavan parried another would hit his body hard and heavy. Eventually Kaido's last strike would hit Kallavan and launched him away from the Yonko, the admiral took this chance to establish some distance again between him and the pirate. A moment of respite followed afterwards, a taunt would force Kallavan to reply. His body already bruised up to a significant extent.
"I could say the same to you." The Admiral would say while spitting blood to the side. "But if you insist, I'll be the first to shift into a higher gear."
The marine concluded as he clenched his hands into fists and doubled in size. His skin would shift into a dark green colour with a tail appearing behind him. The marine had shifted into his hybrid form.
"Now then. Let's dance!"Kallavan would say, sporting an evil smile. Darkness was seeping in.
With the flick of one's fingers the Admiral vanished from sight through kamisori, only to reappear high above Kaido. A rankyaku would fly towards the Yonko, only for it to disperse into a rain of smaller air blades. The aim was to shower him in numerous smaller cuts.

The Sea Around WCI
Charlotte LinLin "Big Mom", one of four ruler of the seas. The unmatched strongest woman on the seas.
The sea rocked back and forth violently under the power and pang of Big Mom. The very air was thundering, echoing in the distance with power. Through the raining thunder, La Spada and the Underworld called out to the Empress with that unnerving thick killing intent. What they got was unexpected. Big Mom's eyes glowed red with rage, hairs standing up, and aura leaking out in strobes. So much aura, La Spada's cloak was being blown back, revealing her mafia-style attire. However, La Spada was not perturbed. La Spada was not intimidated. She had gone to the deep valley of her soul and her past gave her the will. The will to confront and kill the Great Big Mom.
La Spada stood on a patch of ice. In the sea, in a battle in the Sky, The Grim was at a significant disadvantage. La Spada rode atop a cloud, a living being. The Grim had no such advantage. She could glide with Luarian wings, but a decisive battle with the Queen of the Seas would take far more than that. Yet, La Spada was not waned in her will to kill.
Then, Big Mom called out to La Spada - the nuisance.
[La Spada] “BRING IT ON, BITCH!"
La Spada roared. The Grim wasted no time nor effort. This was it. As a sign of respect, La Spada grabbed the sheathe of Shodai Kitetsu, a Saijo O Wazamono sword, who screeched upon touch. La Spada's cloak fell back as the woman's aura spiked, covering her body with a light glow of black and green. Much to her norm, La Spada had already started the encounter with high power, a tribute to the Emperor. The Empress of the Sea did not disappoint, commanding the being called 'Hera'. A rain of thunderbolts rained down.
"Shit", thought La Spada. The Grim skipped off the ice patch, running at top speeds, dodging the lightning strike as they came down. Unfourtantly, the patch of ice she stood on was destroyed. La Spada was able to dodge each strike, but for the last and biggest. In retort, The Grim un-sheathed her blade in a swift draw-and-sheathing technique, slicing against the thunderbolt, using haki and soul. The lightning bolt and slash canceled each other out, creating a large boom of impact, blowing up the water around La Spada. The woman would have been electrocuted regardless of might, but she was unaffected by same.
[La Spada] "Up here, you old hag! This music of your demise!!!"
La Spada's gruff, thick accented, dark voice came short of 5 meters from Big Mom. The Grim had jumped with the impact, using her incredible light-weight to clear Big Mom. Looking down on the Yonko, La Spada had her sword unsheathed, strumming the chords on the sword like a violin. From it, came a piece dark pedantic music with strong will, releasing a sound-wave that overtook the area, riddled with soul power and haki. The music was as beautiful as destructive. Unlike regular attacks, this was sound, nearly inescapable.
[La Spada] "DEATH METAL!!!!"
The Grim's wings were out, gliding in place.

An Unsundered soul. The soul of the old ones. A soul ted to the Voice Century. All these revelations came on the heels of the one the Okama wanted to talk about - La Spada. Fates were colliding. This took Sasaki off-guard. How did this being know of his past - or did he? The Vice-Admiral's demeanor changed, now one of distrust. There were many questions, but Sasaki started with two.
The hulking machine looked surprise, raising his hands up in an apology, high-pitched.
[Kuma/Sensui] "Sorry! P-P-Please calm down! Let me explain! I don't actually know much about you. You see, when you pass on, you're able to see the essence of others. Your essence, your soul, is one of few. It glows unlike many. That is why I surmise your essence is tied to the old ones. That is also why I can only entrust this request to you.”
[Kuma/Sensui] "I've seen a soul like yours once before, though darker - that soul is an old one. If yours is light, hers is darkness... La Spada."
The man explained himself, comically waving his hands awkwardly. Coming from the hulking imposing Kuma "The Tyrant", particularly the high-pitched voice, it was comical. The unnamed man suggested he had passed, yet something kept him in this world, trapped in the crystal. He had already said that he did not have much time - that the would be gone forever after. A dying soul's last request. A last request that could only be given to Sasaki, for his soul was one of few, just like Spada. One dark and one light.
Then, Sensui's demeanor changed again. If Kuma could cry, he would have. The sadness could be heard through his next words.
[Kuma/Sensui] "My name was Sensui Oldgate. In the Unsundered world, in the first iteration of the Spada Pirates, Isis was... my captain. Our world is no more, but her hate has lived on."
[Kuma/Sensui] “My beloved has one glaring weakness only I know. One you must exploit in order to fulfill my request. Where I failed, you must succeed."
[Kuma/Sensui] "Hear my request, old one. Save my Pandora from madness. Please... kill La Spada."
Big Mom, the strongest woman on the Seas, looked at La Spada with red, beady, crazed eyes. Seeking destruction in her rage, Big Mom ordered Hera to blow La Spada to smithereens. Hera, born of the part of Big Mom's soul that was much more compatible with Big Mom's personality than Zeus ever was, followed the command like the ultimate soul soldier. Crackling with lightning and roaring with thunder, Hera unleashed a thunderstorm that ravaged the waters below. Lightning bolt after lightning bolt hit the surface of the Sea, creating powerful shockwaves, unleashing pulses of electricity that spread outward along the surface of the Sea with every hit, and roughing up the sea, creating waves that made it difficult to move.
And yet, La Spada, like Death itself, moved in silence and efficiency. She ran across the surface of the Sea, evading the lightning blasts, unaffected by the pulses of electricity, and unfazed by the waves. The last lightning blast managed to hit close enough, but La Spada jumped, riding the shockwave high up into the air. She ended up five meters higher than the airborne Big Mom, looking down on her and summoning her attention. Big Mom looked up with her red eyes, seeing the woman of bones.
The strings of La Spada's sword were strummed and a powerful sound wave was unleashed. The soundwave hit Big Mom and Hera, causing Hera to grit her teeth, and Big Mom to stumble, while holding her head. However, before the sound wave could cause any serious damage, Big Mom clenched the fist of her free hand, took a deep breath, and retaliated. Without any ability or trick, Big Mom screamed. A deafening, concrete shattering, screeching roar was unleashed by Big Mom, the sound wave so intense that it carried concussive force, along with invisible Busou-shoku no Haki.
Wreeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess I'll use her Life Return mastery as the base.

Big Mom's soundwave pushed La Spada's own back and away, the two shockwaves struggling for supremacy. Suddenly, Big Mom bent the knees of her comparatively tiny legs, jumping up toward La Spada. Wielding Napoleon overhead and imbuing it with invisible Busou-shoku no Haki, Big Mom swung it downward with incredible force, aiming to blow La Spada out of the sky and down toward the Sea.
Haha no Hi...!

The ogre-esque Biscuit Soldier stood tall, Katakuri on its shoulder. The two Sweet Commanders and blood brothers worked in tandem, intending on overwhelming the Assassin, who, in their eyes, should prefer a cleaner fight. Akira, now without his sword, remained in his Hybrid form, using the wings to fly. With no proof of what the ogre Biscuit Soldier was capable of, Akira decided to stay back and observe, while playing tactics - getting behind and very close to the Biscuit Soldier, using point blank range to prevent it from striking with its large body.
As tough as Akira's tactic was on the ogre Biscuit Soldier, it was time to attack. The real Cracker, who was inside, touched the inside of the Biscuit Soldier. Suddenly, from a biscuit that formed one part of the giant ogre's back, multiple biscuit spears appeared. Imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki, the biscuit spears erupted from the ogre's body, going straight for Akira. They were many, and the biscuit artillery was relentless in its firing, the barrage continuous.
As Akira was forced to deal with the barrage, Katakuri, who was significantly higher up and standing on the ogre's shoulder, joined in on the attack as well. Transforming his arm into mochi and producing a large amount of the substance, Katakuri once again formed a gigantic fist of mochi, imbuing it with black Busou-shoku no Haki. From there, he hurled the gigantic fist downward, aiming to punch Akira out of the sky from above, and punch him into the ground below. A frontal attack from Cracker, and an attack from above by Katakuri, it was time for the brothers to get serious.

Kaidou and Kallavan, measuring their strengths against one another, erupted into a rapid flurry of attacks. A barrage of kanabo strikes was met with a barrage of Jugons, the two colliding hit for hit, though Kaidou continued to gain an advantage as the clash continued. Before long, Kallavn was blown away, and Kaidou spoke with anger on his face, taunting that Kallavan was not as strong as he was back on Onigashima. Kallavan threw the words right back at Kaidou, who received them with a bulging vein of anger on his face.
Wororo... young people...
Kaidou said, tightening the grip on his kanabo. Kallavan's body started to undergo a transformation, increasing in size to match slightly closer to that of Kaidou's herculean body. Green scales clad Kallavan's body, without a doubt increasing his hardness. A tail spawned, granting a fifth limb. Kaidou grinned, his mood changing once again. He was still well drunk, his red cheeks showing that without any embarrassment. As soon as Kallavan was done transforming, he went onto the counterattack. Disappearing from his position, Kallavan jumped up into the air. From there, he swung his leg, unleashing a Rankyaku.
As the Rankyaku was descending, it suddenly burst, and from it, a rain of smaller Rankyakus was unleashed. The rain of blades descended upon Kaidou, who only rose his arms above himself, using his forearm and his kanabo to shield from the attack. The rain of Rankyaku kicked up a large dust cloud, building it larger and more intense with every flying slash that descended.
120: 5. Town Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 10. Large Country Level
When Kallavan's attack came to an end, the dust cloud lingered, but inside it, a transformation began. Scales started to cover Kaidou's body, covering some of the wounds that the Yonkou had sustained from Kallavan's attack. Claws appeared on his hands, giving Kaidou a new weapon. A tail spawned - a fifth limb to match Kallavan's own. Kaidou's feet turned into a dragon's talons, powerful and dangerous. A half man half Dragon stood, facing Kallavan head on.
Inside the lingering dust cloud, an enormous swirl of red color started to form. Flames and black Busou-shoku no Haki started to roll inside Kaidou's mouth, his sharp teeth grinning. And then it happened. Kaidou roared, unleashing an enormous breath of fire from his mouth. Like a beam of absolute heat and fire, the breath ascended up toward the airborne Kallavan. A Bolo Breath, a signature attack of the Dragon, ripped through the air toward Kallavan, aiming to engulf and consume it. The Bolo Breath had enough power to reach up to the clouds, and if Kallavan guarded or clashed against it, he would be forced up to the clouds himself. A mark of the next stage of their battle, Kaidou demonstrated beastly power.
Bolo Breath...!

[Kuma/Sensui] "Hear my request, old one. Save my Pandora from madness. Please... kill La Spada."
The pink spirit spoke of the Void Century, hinting at a connection between it, and Sasaki. Sasaki's eyebrows furrowed when he heard those words, and the aura around him immediately became more serious. Sasaki questioned what the pink spirit knew about him. The pink spirit, however, was quick to clarify, stating that he really didn't know much about Sasaki, but that he could see his aura. An aura of old, from hundreds of years ago. Not many in this world still carried that aura, but Sasaki did. This was unknown to Sasaki, for he could not see it. In fact, he didn't even know he carried a different aura. But the pink spirit, one who was of the other world already, could. The explanation calmed Sasaki. However, at this point it was clear. When Sasaki thought the pink spirit knew his secret, he was immediately on guard. And when the pink spirit turned out to not be in the know, Sasaki immediately loosened back up. Undoubtedly, the monkey man had a past - and what he carried with him, was a grand secret. Something that no one should know.
The pink spirit went on to speak of La Spada. She was his Pandora - a word that Sasaki did not understand. She, too, was a soul of the olden times. But, whereas Sasaki's aura was that of light, hers was that of darkness. The pink spirit explained further, stating that La Spada used to be his Captain. And for whatever reason, the pink spirit had a mission. A mission that he had failed. A mission that he, now, hung on Sasaki's shoulders.
Kill... La Spada.
A look of surprise appeared on Sasaki's face. An unparalleled request. And yet, it was one that aligned with Sasaki's ambitions.
La Spada... to me, she is an evil that must be vanquished from this world. To Aolai, she is a danger. To my people, she is an enemy.
You called yourself Sensui...
The monkey man said, before continuing.
If La Spada succeeds today, Big Mom will perish. And with her, the balance of the world will be lost. The prophecy is unyielding, and chances of my success here on Whole Cake Island are exactly... zero.
And yet, despite that... I came here to fight. Now, you stand in front of me. Fate is unraveling - I was right to come here. But there is a question that I need an answer to. An answer... that you have.
The Sea Around WCI
The great Yonko had been targeted. In the seas, one dared to come for her life. La Spada had fulfilled her promise to come after her. A promise writ in blood in Wano. La Spada had challenged the Yonko, and in the skies was their first round of battle. In an impressive feat of agility, La Spada attacked from above Big Mom. The Yonko had used heroine scream to cancel the attack out, still enraged to no end. La Spada had never seen Big Mom before, and a weaker-willed pirate would have succumbed to the fear. There was no fear here.
Big Mom came to slash La Spada while the latter was mid-air, using her might to drive her homie sword against her. Eyes glowing red, La Spada positioned herself towards the charging Yonko. In a swift move, he Grim propelled herself forward in mid-air in a trusting movement, striking the incoming blade at its middle. The clash was great, forcing thunderous haki to spawn off the impact point, shaking the sea below them. for a moment, the blades met, neither giving an inch.
In the middle of clash, La Spada's eyes came above her sword, locking eyes with Big Mom.
[La Spada] "You've ruled the seas long enough! Today, you die!"
With that statement, La Spada pushed off with her sword upwards. This propelled her a few meters upwards. The Grim had cocked her hooked hand back, it pulsating with haki and soul. Summoning souls from the Underworld, all who hated and sought Big Mom's own soul, converged on the fist, taking the humid air around it from the sea to create a giant fist of ice. With a roar, La Spada twisted her body and brought the fist downward towards Big Mom's head with unnerving force and speed. It aimed to flatten her and Hera beneath her. If nothing else, it aimed to knock some sense into Big Mom and take her out of her rage.
[La Spada] "You'll come out of your rage!"
[La Spada] "PUNO DEL DIABLO!!!!!"

Puño del Diablo (literally meaning “The Devil’s Punch”): By collecting a large amount of souls into her palm, La Spada uses the Chill of the Underworld to create a giant fist of ice. La Spada then thrusts it towards the target, delivering terrible impact power along with an explosion of ice and soul. Instead of a fist, the user can make other weapons. Unlike the Hie, this attack does not freeze.
The duo did not take long for them to start attacking Akira, the first to start was Cracker, or at least in this particular case – the giant biscuit soldier. Spears would manifest off from the back of the soldier, like a mutation in which it occurs. While the attack does not surprise the boy, how it manifest is definitely a lot stranger than one might think. Yet what Cracker did was just like what he has been doing over and over. The boy would have lost count on how much of these biscuit-weapons have been thrown to. And with that, the boy would have to deal with them once more, swinging his wings to block and deflect the incoming weapons hurled at him. Despite being able to do so, being in mid-air the mass of weapons would slowly force Akira back. At the same time, Katakuri would aimed to take out Akira from the other direction – a large Mochi fist, imbued with Haki would came from above. The strategy from Cracker and Katakuri despite now having a large soldier in their stratagem did not seem to change much. They have continued to utilize the versatility of their powers to overwhelm Akira.
Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: +3 (Bladed Wings) = 9. Small Country Level
Result: Akira wins. But pushed back due to mass.
With the incoming fist, Akira is in its trajectory to be hit once more – being pushed back by the mass of incoming weapons has made it much more difficult to simply move away. But Akira would not move despite it. He didn’t intend to move. Coating his legs or rather talons with Haki, imbuing them in its invisible energy. The boy instead met the fist with his legs, a strong kick with both legs. It would clash against Katakuri’s large fist; it would however be unable to meet blow to blow with Katakuri – the impact of the clash would reverberate Akira’s body with damages. However, Akira would bend his knees as he met the clash, dispersing the reverberating damages coming from the legs and to the rest of the body – preventing too much damage focally onto his lower body. But with that, the boy aimed to utilize the momentum of the attack to push away – generating more speed as the boy slightly changes his direction to fly towards the giant soldier at incredible speed. His talons would revert back to a smaller size, but this time the boy grew a larger beak instead – changing from one point form to another.
Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + Invisible Haki: +2 + Talon Point: +1 = 9. Small Country Level vs Katakuri's DPR
Result: Katakuri wins. 2 DPR remaining
Akira's Durability: 8. Island Level (121+, Zoans only) vs 2 DPR
Result: DPR 2 or more below dura: Not very effective
With that, Akira aimed for the centre of the giant Cracker soldier, more specifically at the centre of the chest. His wings and beak would become engulfed in black, imbuing with Haki as Akira closes in as close as he could. Cracker would likely recall a similar situation to happen, and so did Akira. Unlike the previous time Akira would instead get close to the point of near melee range, before firing a couple air blades, black wisps of energy dancing around the compressed air blades towards the soldier, aiming to ‘soften’ it up. Afterwards, Akira would start to spin continuously through the flap of his wings, generating a miniature tornado around himself whilst his beak remains the focal point of the attack – like a drill Akira aimed to pierce and destroy the soldier’s centre, hopefully with Cracker alongside with his attack. The fight has been going for a while with no end in sight – and he would need to break apart the stalemate, regardless of who is it, now that the both of them has separate for a short moment – Akira would take the opportunity to try and whittle one of them down into vulnerability. If successful, Akira should be able to completely destroy the soldier’s chest like a drill and through its body – hopefully shattering the giant soldier’s core into nothingness though the boy believes not to be the case. The boy is also aware of the same situation happening as well, that should he get stuck the boy would quickly retract his beak point and back away to regain distance even with Katakuri likely behind him.

The rain of rankyakus had pelted the Yonko who withstood the storm to a surprisingly degree. No real wound was on his body, but the man had transformed into his hybrid form as well, replicating what Kallavan had done albeit with a different animal or creature. Kallavan could only observe as their fight had reached full throttle, both of them in their highest combat form. The dust cloud had been dispersed as heat and fire gathered around the Yonko's mouth which prompted Kallavan to quickly reply with an attack of his own. He had seen that stance too many times to know full well what would come next.
Aura erupted around Kallavan as he snapped his arms to the side, haki flowing from his arms into his hands while doing a semi circle with each. The circle movement eventually stopped when he brought his hands to his hip and cupped them together. Haki and Hasshoken flared, mixing the two energies together into a highly volatile mixture. Both his hands were shaking through the sheer amount of force that was between his hands. It took a solid moment, but both fighters were reading for an ultimate clash of high ranked techniques.
Who would come out the victor?
Kaido was up first with a beam of highly concentrated fire, nearly a beam, that ripped through the atmosphere and headed straight for the Admiral. But the man was ready and jerked his arms forward, using a Rokuougan as a propulsion mechanism. But the force would add itself into the already established fusion of hasshoken and haki, revealing one of Kallavan's deadliest combination.
"Metsu Hadou Rokuougan!"
The massive purple orb clashed against the Boro breath, replicating an event that had happened previously on Wano. Back then this technique had been defeated by the boro breath, but this time was different. Kallavan's experiences and training flashed before his eyes and the man shouted it out to the heavens.
"THIS TIME I'M DIFFERENT!"
The Metsu Hado held firm as it slowly began to push through the Boro breath further and further. And before anyone knew it the orb had managed to blast its way completely forward. Now with cushioned damage the haki projectile continued its path straight towards Kaido who, perhaps for the first time in his lifetime, saw his famed Boro breath blocked and negated.
Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
An Unsundered had appeared. He has spoken about a broken world, a world where only a few souls survived. One such was La Spada, whose evil, hate, and malice, carried here here. Yet, her soul was nutlike the others. Indeed, she and Sasaki had souls of the Old Ones, the aura was intoxicating. Sensui could feel it, and so he approached an Old One. The Vice-Admiral was put on the defensive, until the pink souledman told the truth - he knew nothing about Sasaki's past, but-for the soul. This calmed the vice-admiral, who now relaxed into the conversation.
Kuma/Sensu had laid down with his hips splayed out, like an Okama would. Truly, an odd position for Kuma. Sasaki went straight to the point, to a question that even made Sensui widen his eyes. A question that would have double implications. If La Spada had another soul with her, would that not be the same for Sasaki, who bore the opposite?
Sensui looked into the distance, as he spoke.
[Kuma/Sensui] "An evil one from the Void Century, one whom which Joyboy fought - that is all I know."
A magnamous statement. One from the Void Century. Implications for Sasaki, for if La Spada's could be tracked then, could Sasaki be tracked 700 years ago as well? Unbeknown to Sensui, it was much more complicated for Sasaki than he realized - his secrets were inextricably linked with his past; Sensui did not know. In fact, all this sounded shrouded in doubt. The Okama was not a wise being - he was as lost as many. Lost in the reality the World Government had made for the people. A reality Sensui accurately pointed out.
[Kuma/Sensui] "Without context, it is impossible to find out who. If only there was a catalog of the world's greatest evils - perhaps you would recognize the aura La Spada possess. Alas, no such thing exists, and your World Government has woven history as their own, deleting much of the past."
[Kuma/Sensui] "There is one thing the World Government has failed to delete... Poneglyphs. There, you will find your answer, for both La Spadas and your own. Even now, she searches for them. You must find them before she does!"
Poneglyphs. They were they key. In this moment, Sasaki would get a flashback of something the real Kuma said before Sensui took over. Something about Poneglyphs.
[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."
Suddenly, Sensui's pink aura began to recede. It seemed his time in this wold was not long now. Sasaki had time for one two questions. Sensui had told him La Spada's weakness, but had not yet spoken. What about Sasaki's own soul, did Sensui know anything about it? As an Unsudered, he was a soul from another like La Spada - were they others... who? The Poneglyphs bore all sorts of questions. How did Sensui know about them? How did he come to be in a crystal? Why was Kuma helping him? So many questions, so limited time. Sasaki had to choose carefully.
Big Mom, the strongest woman in the world, and La Spada, whom one could already consider the second strongest woman in the world at this point in time, engaged in a ferocious battle up in the sky above the waters of Totto Land. Big Mom swung Napoleon, aiming to literally slam La Spada out of the sky. La Spada answered in kind, rocketing toward Big Mom and bringing her sword forward in the form of a powerful thrust. The two weapons collided and the two women's Hakis erupted. La Spada used Napoleon as a platform to push herself higher up into the air, now ending up even higher, above Big Mom. There, La Spada proclaimed that Big Mom had ruled long enough, and that it was time to die. Summoning forth the souls of the Underworld and with them the Chill of the Underworld, La Spada formed an enormous fist of ice, which cast a shadow on Big Mom and everything below.
Big Mom's red, beady eyes stared at the giant fist of ice. She grit her teeth and clencher her fist. However, she remained in her rage pang.
Prometheus!
Big Mom roared, raising her free hand up into the air while holding Napoleon in her other hand. Through Big Mom's actions and command, Prometheus, who was floating in the area, knew that he had been summoned to her. Transforming into a raging sphere of fire, Prometheus flew to Big Mom's hand. Imbuing her hand with black Busou-shoku no Haki, Big Mom grabbed Prometheus and his body immediately erupted into an enormous amount of fire. As the giant fist of ice descended, Big Mom dug her feet into Hera, taking a strong stance. As the fist of ice came into range, Big Mom hurled her arm forward in the form of an upward punch. The fist of ice collided with Big Mom's raw power, as well as an enormous amount of raging fire that trailed Big Mom's fist. The ice and fire pushed, as did the Hakis, the clash seen far and wide.

When the powerful shockwaves and the bright flash of light faded, an enormous hole was seen in the ocean.
Right above the hole, Hera was seen floating, with Big Mom standing on top of her. The enormous amounts of ocean water were rapidly falling back into the hole, and it was only a matter of time before the hole would be closed up again. The sea was undefeated. Prometheus was back to floating beside Big Mom, while Napoleon was still in her right hand. But, unlike before, Big Mom was different now. She had undergone a change. Raising her head up toward the sky, so as to look up at La Spada, Big Mom's eyes were no longer red. She no longer had the facial expression of a wild beast. Instead, she was back to her normal self. With a grin on her face, Big mom spoke.
Mamama... I know you... I remember your face. What was your name again, you old looking hag?
Big Mom said, surprisingly the younger of the two - a situation that was not very common.
Katakuri and Cracker continued their overwhelming offensive, utilizing all of the advantages that a two on one had to offer. When Akira approached the giant ogre Biscuit Soldier, aiming to use the close proximity to make an attack harder, Cracker, from inside the ogre Biscuit Soldier, manipulated the biscuit matter. Ripples appeared on one of the biscuits that made up the Biscuit Soldier, and from that spot, an army of bladed biscuit weapons was unleashed, going for Akira. Akira used his wings to continuously deflect the attacks. However, using wings for flight and for defense simultaneously was impossible, and so despite Akira's strength, he was continuously pushed back by the biscuit barrage. At the same time, Katakuri, who was located much higher up on the ogre Biscuit Soldier's shoulder, formed another enormous fist of Mochi, imbuing it with black Busou-shoku no Haki and hurling it downward toward Akira, aiming to smash him out of the sky and crush him. Akira quickly counterattacked, using his talons to kick upward and clash with the powerful Mochi fist.
A shockwave reverberated far and wide, and the town that they were in was continuously getting more destroyed. However, Akira continued to stand, dealing with Katakuri's and Cracker's attacks efficiently. Next came his counterattack. Diving toward the ogre Biscuit Soldier, Akira started to spin rapidly. His beak elongated. That, together with the rapid spinning flight, made Akira look like a drill that was coming for the ogre Biscuit Soldier. Before they would collide, Akira unleashed a number of powerful flying slashes, which hit parts of the ogre Biscuit Soldier. Two arms and one leg were cut clean off, two shields got destroyed and a part of the ogre Biscuit Soldier's abdomen, close to its left hip, was cut through. That's when Akira collided with the ogre Biscuit Soldier's abdomen, flying straight through. The strength behind Akira's attack was enormous and there was little resistance that Cracker could mount.
Instead, he went straight for a counter.
The ogre Biscuit Soldier, which was enormous in size, erupted into biscuit dust and immediately formed six giant biscuits, which formed a giant box around Akira. Black Busou-shoku no Haki coursed through the giant box, creating a black prison in the sky.
Cracker was outside, back on the ground - luckily, he was not in the part of the ogre Biscuit Soldier that had gotten pierced by Akira's drill. Cracker grinned, initiating his attack. The insides of the walls of the prison would suddenly form sharp, black Busou-shoku no Haki clad biscuit weapons. At the same time, Katakuri, now up in the air above the black prison, having jumped off of the ogre Biscuit Soldier's shoulder when it was destroyed, was forming his own attack. As opposed to forming one giant fist of Mochi, Katakuri formed two, imbuing both of them with black Busou-shoku no Haki. And then, it happened.
The walls fired the myriad of biscuit weapons, lacerating everything inside the black prison. From the outside, Katakuri unleashed a barrage of giant Mochi fist punches, clobbering the black prison continuously, crushing it and anything inside. A powerful combo attack, and Akira was at the center of the mayhem.

Powerful flames rolled inside Kaidou's mouth. Looking up at the air, where Kallavan was, Kaidou roared and unleashed an enormous beam of fire. A Bolo Breath - the dragon's signature attack, one that hollowed out mountains and put fear in any who witnessed it. It was an attack that Kallavan had been on the receiving end of in Wano Kuni, and that time, he had failed to surmount this attack. However, this time was different. Cupping his hands together next to his hip, Kallavan gathered powerful Hasshō-ken vibrations and enormous Busou-shoku no Haki. When the Bolo Breath came for Kallavan, the Marine threw his arms forward, unleashing a powerful sphere of raw power and energy that collided with the Bolo Breath head on.
Both men pushed forward, exerting enormous power, unwilling to be pushed back by the other. The powerful collision lasted for a number of seconds, before the Bolo Breath suddenly started to give in. The sphere of power, hurled forth by Kallavan, was cutting through the larger attack. And then it happened. With enough power behind it, the sphere flew down the length of the Bolo Breath, splitting it in two and heading for Kaidou. As it reached Kaidou, the sphere erupted, engulfing the Yonkou in a powerful shockwave that rocked the very foundation of Whole Cake Chateau, even causing it to sway slightly.

As the shockwave cleared and the Whole Cake Chateau settled back into place, Kaidou was seen with his left arm, wielding the kanabo, raised up into the air, used as a shield. Invisible Busou-shoku no Haki had protected the man along with his enormous durability. However despite it all, some damage was seen on Kaidou - with a large bruise on his left forearm standing out the most. A testament to the sheer power of Kallavan's attack. In Kaidou's right hand was the gourd of sake. He brought it to his mouth again, this time gulping down much larger amounts of sake. He emptied the gourd all in one go, his cheeks now redder than ever before. This drink would last him quite a while, likely. Laughing, Kaidou looked at the airborne Kallavan, while throwing the gourd away with enough strength to shatter it on impact.
Wororororo... You're definitely stronger than before. However, martial arts won't let you rule the sea, brat.
Only Haki will let you do that. Do you have what it takes?
Whole Cake Island: Ceasar’s Replica Laboratory
An Unsundered had appeared. He has spoken about a broken world, a world where only a few souls survived. One such was La Spada, whose evil, hate, and malice, carried here here. Yet, her soul was nutlike the others. Indeed, she and Sasaki had souls of the Old Ones, the aura was intoxicating. Sensui could feel it, and so he approached an Old One. The Vice-Admiral was put on the defensive, until the pink souledman told the truth - he knew nothing about Sasaki's past, but-for the soul. This calmed the vice-admiral, who now relaxed into the conversation.
Kuma/Sensu had laid down with his hips splayed out, like an Okama would. Truly, an odd position for Kuma. Sasaki went straight to the point, to a question that even made Sensui widen his eyes. A question that would have double implications. If La Spada had another soul with her, would that not be the same for Sasaki, who bore the opposite?
Sensui looked into the distance, as he spoke.
[Kuma/Sensui] "An evil one from the Void Century, one whom which Joyboy fought - that is all I know."
A magnamous statement. One from the Void Century. Implications for Sasaki, for if La Spada's could be tracked then, could Sasaki be tracked 700 years ago as well? Unbeknown to Sensui, it was much more complicated for Sasaki than he realized - his secrets were inextricably linked with his past; Sensui did not know. In fact, all this sounded shrouded in doubt. The Okama was not a wise being - he was as lost as many. Lost in the reality the World Government had made for the people. A reality Sensui accurately pointed out.
[Kuma/Sensui] "Without context, it is impossible to find out who. If only there was a catalog of the world's greatest evils - perhaps you would recognize the aura La Spada possess. Alas, no such thing exists, and your World Government has woven history as their own, deleting much of the past."
[Kuma/Sensui] "There is one thing the World Government has failed to delete... Poneglyphs. There, you will find your answer, for both La Spadas and your own. Even now, she searches for them. You must find them before she does!"
Poneglyphs. They were they key. In this moment, Sasaki would get a flashback of something the real Kuma said before Sensui took over. Something about Poneglyphs.
Suddenly, Sensui's pink aura began to recede. It seemed his time in this wold was not long now. Sasaki had time for one two questions. Sensui had told him La Spada's weakness, but had not yet spoken. What about Sasaki's own soul, did Sensui know anything about it? As an Unsudered, he was a soul from another like La Spada - were they others... who? The Poneglyphs bore all sorts of questions. How did Sensui know about them? How did he come to be in a crystal? Why was Kuma helping him? So many questions, so limited time. Sasaki had to choose carefully.
In front of Sasaki was a person, or rather a soul, that he could talk to for days. In part because Sensui was easy to talk to, in part because Sasaki had a lot of questions to ask. The first question that Sasaki needed an answer to, was whose soul was inside La Spada. It was the question at the center of everything, and so it was the most important one. Sensui's answer, albeit without a name, was worth its weight in gold. To Sasaki's surprise, which was well seen on his face, Sensui revealed that the soul that inhabited La Spada was one that belonged all the way back to the Void Century. An evil soul, one that Joyboy himself knew. However, who exactly that soul was, was anyone's guess. Even Sensui did not know. There was a chance that La Spada herself did not know. However, something held that information. It was possible to find it. The slabs of stone that held all the truths of the world. The infamous Poneglyphs. Sensui said that the information was there, and that La Spada was out to get them. He urged Sasaki to act quickly, and to get to the Poneglyphs before she did. In that moment, Sasaki remembered what Kuma had said before Sensui's soul had taken over.
[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."
Suddenly, Sensui's soul presence started to falter. Parts of his soul were beginning to leave Kuma's body. A clear sign that he did not have much time left. Seeing this, Sasaki reached out with his right hand in a startled manner, as if he tried to grab Sensui. Needless to say, that didn't work. Realizing that he only had Sensui here for a few moments yet, Sasaki had time for one more question. But what would he need to know? Asking Sensui how he knew about all of this was one question to be had. Asking what he knew about Sasaki's own soul, was another. Asking him what he knew about the Pongelyphs, or their locations, was yet another. Indeed, even asking how Kuma was involved, or how Sensui had come to be in that crystal, were all important questions. And yet, Sasaki did not ask any of those.
He had another. A surprising one. A question, the answer to which Sensui would likely not know. And yet, it was so important to Sasaki, that he had to ask it.
Before you go... I have one more question to ask.
Ever since I came here, I have been looking for Aolai... but I can't find it. I know exactly where its location is supposed to be. But it's gone. Unmistakenly, it has disappeared.
Sensui... where did Aolai go? Where did Miss Yoshitsune go?
The Sea Around WCI
Come out of your rage, Big Mom. Positioning herself on top of Big Mom, La Spada summoned the underworld in the form of a fist of ice, barren with Haki and seeking Charlotte LinLin. With a roar, the fist came down. The Yonko came up with fire, clashing with the oncoming attack with one of her own. The clash was wide and far-reaching. The sea split and formed a chasm. Thunderous haki rocketed around them, rousing the ocean many. When the dust settled, Big Mom stayed strong, yet no longer in range.
La Spada had opened her wings and glided above her, meeting the Yonko’s gaze. There, La a Spada responded.
[La Spada] "I doubt I need an introduction, but just in case, I am the might Spada. And yes, all the horror stories you’ve heard are true."
With those sarcastic words, La Spada gently landed on the sea, now slowly calming. A new slab of ice was created for the Grim to stand on. La Spada glanced behind her, seeing WCI island in the distance - she needed ground, or she’d be in disadvantage. Yet, nor, with the prize in front of her, there was no stopping the mad woman.
A darker voice came next, filled with music that filled the air - a statement.
[La Spada] “I’ve got a bone tah’ pick with yah’. For decades yah’ used souls as a plaything. They’ve been festering in hate. Today, yah’ soul will be the one severed. Today, yah’ die at the hands of…”
[La Spada/Voices] “Legion. For we are many.”
With that resounding voice of many came green light that enveloped La Spada, flickering inside her. One with the soul fruit could feel many souls Big Mom had killed herself, festering in hate, perhaps a few she would feel in the pit of her stomach. Revenge incarnate. The up-coming and newly infamous La Spada with over 2 billion bounty… sought Big Mom’s death.
