Chapter 338 - 338 - Soul Epicenter Explosion!
Chapter 338 - 338 - Soul Epicenter Explosion!
It was as if the entire battlefield had been suddenly pressed to pause, and the silence was terrifying!
'Faceless' Will's powerful attack literally destroyed all the faith support the Big Mom Pirates had in 'Big Mom'!
Big Mom is strong, strong as a monster, but apparently, now a monster stronger than her has appeared!
Had Big Mom not summoned her Homies and used 'Big Wave' at the last minute to send herself back to the island, the battle might have been over!
The 'Big Wave', which seemed to be alive, slowly disappeared from the big hole in the centre of the island after completing its task, and it was exhausted from trying to lift 'mom' up.
"What the hell are you if you've survived all this? The giant race doesn't have an inherently strong defence like this."
The victorious Will couldn't help but ask as he was indeed a bit curious about Big Mom's race, or if she was actually a product of 'scientific research, such as the accident that occurred when Vega Punk was researching the Lineage Factor?
If they say that Big Mom is actually a 'weapon of war' accidentally born in an ordinary human couple after receiving the superior blood factor of each race, it seems that everything can be explained.
After all, those who had abandoned Big Mom's parents were all ordinary human beings, and if they could travel on such a luxurious ship and still barely raised Big Mom for several years, they would definitely not be ordinary human beings.
Will was very interested in these things, but apparently, the immature Big Mom didn't know about them at all, and even if she did, she wouldn't tell him!
Big Mom just looked hideous gasping for air, and the seemingly endless rounds of heavy punches just now really did make her feel the pain!
What's more, every punch that Will threw at her would penetrate the outer surface of her strong defences, causing great pain and damage inside her body!
The good news is that after using the Armament Haki for defence, the power of the Shock Devil Fruit was effectively reduced, and that's why she wasn't killed alive!
But even so, she was hurt quite badly, and she swallowed back the blood that had come up to her throat several times.
"Mom, Mom... Are you okay?"
Prometheus, the only one of the three homies still intact, asked worriedly around the Big Mom.
"Shut up and say one more word and I'll eat you!"
Big Mom, with a gloomy, mad face, grabbed Prometheus directly and attached the flame to her fist.
Prometheus immediately just shut his mouth in shock, while staring at Will with a vicious glare!
At first glance Big Mom's country is sustained by her 'family', but those who know it knows that her country is built on fear of Big Mom!
Anyone who disobeyed her wishes or disliked her, even her own children, would be eaten by her or die with their entire lifespan taken away!
Fear paired with the power of the fruit of the soul makes her reign unbeatable!
But when she faces an opponent of the same level, when the enemy has no fear of her, the fruit of the soul can do very little!
In other words, she now has to rely on her physical skills to fight Will, in addition to Prometheus in her hand!
So Big Mom rushed forward, her huge body breaking the ground with every step!
"Firestorm!"
Faced with Big Mom's uninspired attack, Will shook his head in disappointment, then hit her with a back-to-back uppercut to the jaw before Big Mom could hit him, knocking her off the ground!
But just when Will was about to finish off Big Mom with a series of attacks, he found that Big Mom's evil ghost-like face was actually... Laughing!
"Soul... Epicentre!"
An invisible force suddenly swept through the arena, and one by one, those affected by this force vomited blood and fainted!
Only Redfield, Issho. Katakuri and a handful of people who have trained their observation haki to a high level barely stayed sober, but it was like being beaten on the head hundreds of times with an indefensible hammer.
The pain alone is unbearable!
The Homies soldiers and some of those who were not mentally strong enough, had their souls shattered and fell to the ground like puppets with broken strings!
Will, who was also defenceless and nearest, felt as if ten thousand needles had pierced a thousand holes in his soul, a pain so different from the physical that it is hard to describe.
But his mind, or rather soul, strength was likewise strengthened by a large amount of devil fruit energy, and although the key to unlocking the treasure chest had not yet been found, the quality was there, so although he suffered the most severe damage, it was not intolerable!
Both the trance and the pain made his next attack slower by several beats, and even his movements were deformed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fierce-looking Big Mom clenched her hands on her weapon and blasted out to an attack that can shatter the mountains!
"Ikoku Sovereignty!"
The giant tribe's best moves are used with weapons to exert maximum power, but 'Napoleon' was twisted into a twist by Will before and couldn't be used at all, so even if its power couldn't be exerted 100%, Big Mom was determined to use both of its sides to attack Will with Ikoku Sovereignty!
If it were put in ordinary times, even if Big Mom used this sneak attack, Will would be confident that he could easily avoid it.
But the pain and sluggishness in his soul caused him to experience severe delays and jerky control of his body, and he was unable to dodge this move, 'Ikoku Sovereignty', only to use his armed armament haki for the defence at the last minute!
Boom!
Will, who transformed into the ancient God of Thunder, spanned the entire Cake Island, collapsing countless buildings before finally stopping at the edge of the island.
This was the first time since the beginning of the war that Big Mom had done real damage to Will!
But , apparently, she also had a hard time using this hidden weapon, and her look withered quickly, and her breathing became ragged!
And the so-called soul-shock explosion is actually a special way to detonate the soul power she extracts in her daily life, in order to carry out a wide-ranging sudden attack at the soul level!
Any creature affected by this soul bomb will be traumatized, and those with weaker souls will die without a trace of injury.
Even if someone with a strong soul is suddenly attacked in such a way, they will be in a trance and their thoughts will be confused, leaving them to be slaughtered!
Will didn't know Big Mom had such a killer weapon, so he got hit!
The good news is that this is a wide area attack that doesn't discriminate between friend and foe, or else the Faceless Pirates might suffer heavy losses!
The only thing that matters now is whether Will, who took a hard hit from Big Mom, is seriously injured or not.
As it turns out, any of the Four Emperors can't be defeated casually!
