Ashen - Big Mom War (3)

"Maaa ma ma ma…Bring it on brats, if you think you can defeat me!" Big Mom's maniacal laughter echoed through the air, her immense size a testament to the power she had gained after consuming her lifespan. As she fused with Prometheus, her hair transformed into a fiery mass, crackling with power "Maser Saber!".

Big Mom unleashed a wide, flying fiery slash aimed directly at Calvin and Ashen. Ashen swiftly moved to block the attack with his sword, while Calvin crossed his arms to defend himself. Seizing the moment, Calvin quickly sprang into action trying to create a chance for Ashen to strike her, employing his mastery of Soru and Hasshoken to close the gap between himself and Big Mom. He delivered a rapid flurry of punches to her, until she counter attacked after getting pushed back.

"Marma-Raid!" Big Mom quickly infused Napoleon with Zeus's lightning and jumped back in the air, somersaulting forward while holding the blade before striking downward with a lightning-powered slash at Calvin.

"So fast!" Calvin was caught off guard by the sudden slash, leaving him defenseless and unable to dodge. The force of the attack sent him crashing to the ground with a loud thud. However, even as he fell, Calvin knew he had created an opening for Ashen. Without missing a beat, Ashen appeared behind Big Mom and launched an attack that caught her off guard.

With a swift motion, he unsheathed his sword and delivered a powerful slash to her back. As the blade made contact, he imbued his Haki, allowing it to flow into her body, causing her internal organs to rupture and leaving her momentarily weakened. But he wasn't done yet, he focused his energy and unleashed his ultimate punch, a culmination of all his martial arts and abilities into one devastating punch. Meanwhile, Calvin coated his fiery fist with both Advanced Armament and Advanced Conqueror's Haki, and dashed forward with tremendous speed towards their enemy.

"Not again!!!" Big Mom twisted in pain mid-air.

"Cosmic Annihilation!!" (I changed the name of 'Ultimate Punch' into 'Cosmic Annihilation' sounds cooler)

"Ragnarok!!"

*Lightning*-*Lightning* The air crackled with lightning that surged from their fist, both Ashen and Calvin unleashed the full force of their punches on Big Mom causing a colossal destruction, while leaving everyone fighting in the battlefield in stupefaction.

"Mama!!..." Katakuri's eyes widened in shock as he watched his mother being pushed back by Ashen and Calvin's combined attack. His focus wavered for just a moment, but it was all the opening that Enel and Moria needed to strike him with a powerful blow, sending him tumbling backward.

<Doppelman: Kagemusha>

"Don't be surprised, we're just getting started!...Kishishi!" Moria quickly created a dark silhouette using his own shadow and swapped location with it, allowing him to quickly evade Katakuri's attack. And in an instant, a giant dragon, wrought entirely from shadows, materialized and lunged towards Katakuri, chomping its jaws with immense power. Katakuri reacted quickly, using his trident to hold back the shadow dragon, but it was all for naught as Moria, seizing the opportunity, landed a swift blow on him. "Go to hell!"

<Shadow Blade Hurricane>

Moria swung his sword in a circular motion, creating a hurricane of shadows that slices through everything in its path.

"God's Judgment!" Enel summoned a massive lightning bolt from heaven that struck down Katakuri while destroying everything in its path.

*BOOOM* Their combined efforts had finally paid off as Katakuri stumbled back from the force of their attack. The usually composed and confident sweet commander looked shaken, a rare sight to behold. But it didn't last long, as he quickly regained his composure and unleashed his own devastating blow. He inflated his mochi forearm, building up pressure until it exploded, propelling his Haki-imbued fist towards Moria at lightning speed. The force was so great that the air around it ignited, leaving fiery streaks in its wake. Moria was sent flying backward, his chest singed from the heat of the attack.

*CRASH* Despite the burns and pain, Moria gritted his teeth and forced himself back up.

"Huff…Huff…Unforgivable!...Try stopping this you bastard!" Moria shouted in anger as he quickly stabbed his sword into the ground, causing a rain of shadow blades to fall from the sky and strike down Katakuri "Shadow Sword Rain!"

*BAM*-*BAM*-*BAM*-*BAM* The shadow blades darted towards Katakuri with blinding speed, but his Future Sight had already predicted their path. However, before he could relax, Enel launched a furious barrage of lightning bolts that surged from his body towards Katakuri.

<100 Million Volt Amaru>

"Hmph…You're future sight is very trouble ability, but…" Enel vanished in a crackle of lightning and reappeared behind Katakuri, his lightning-formed fist enveloped in haki. He drove his electrified fist into Katakuri's back with a thunderous impact, sending the sweet commander hurtling forward. In the same moment, the thunderbolts from the attack rebounded and struck Enel, throwing him backward and leaving him spitting blood "Raijin no Ichigeki!"

"…You guys are serious about taking down mama, I honestly underestimated your captain at first…But who would have thought that even his crewmembers are this strong" Katakuri stated while slowly walking towards Enel and Moria with serious expressions.

"We are in trouble…" Moria said while gazing at the two other Big Mom children approaching them. They proceeded to stand next to Katakuri, they were Charlotte Compote and Charlotte Counter.

"How many children does this bitch has?" Enel's eyes narrowed in annoyance at the interruption "Well, we did expect to be outnumbered"

"I don't think we can handle the three of them together" Moria stated while griping his sword tightly before he added "I'll have to keep the two of them busy while you try to handle him…as much as I hate admitting it, but your speed is our biggest advantage against him"

"Thanks, I'll make sure to end him quickly" Enel responded, before they both charged at them. Moria proceeded to quickly used his shadow power to trap Compote and Counter in a large black box while Enel clashed with Katakuri.

"You couldn't defeat me even with your friend, you think you have a chance alone?" Katakuri asked Enel before he used his awakened ability to summon tendrils of mochi from the ground and loops them into the shape of donuts, he then shaped them into giant Haki-enhanced arms before he manipulated them to punch Enel "Power Mochi!".

The punches had extreme force, enough to harm and send Enel flying. Katakuri was certainly better than Enel in almost every aspect, physical strength, stamina, durability and Haki. The only things that Enel had advantage in are devil fruit power and speed.

Enel's lightning-fast movements allowed him to close in on Katakuri in a flash, his electrifying power crackling in the air. The combination of Soru and lightning proved to be a formidable force, even against Katakuri's Future Sight. However, despite his lightning speed and power, Enel was still no match for Katakuri's superior strength and Haki abilities. The battle ended with Enel lying beaten and battered on the ground, his defeat a clear reminder that even the strongest of logia users can be overcome by a skilled opponent.

Moria was also struggling to keep up with two Big Mom officers, and soon he was also going to get worn out.

"Shit…Huff…Huff…Is this my limit?" Enel asked himself while looking in a deplorable condition, he was on his knees while clutching his stomach from pain before Katakuri went for the finisher blow.

"Owarida!" Katakuri quickly thrusted his weapon at Enel, stabbing his stomach while leaving a large hole. Katakuri watched Enel as he slowly fell on his back before he turned back and walked away, but what none of them expected was Calvin showing up out of nowhere.

"Ragnarok!!" Calvin appeared above Katakuri, punching him down with his Haki-coated fist. The force of the impact sent Katakuri hurtling towards the ground, where his head collided with the surface with a sickening thud.

*Lightning*-*Lightning*-*BOOOOOM* Katakuri staggered to his feet, his body trembling and blood gushing from the deep wounds inflicted by the attack. The strike had dealt a massive blow to the normally composed and formidable pirate, leaving him shaken and vulnerable.

"C-Calvin?!" Those were Enel's last words before he collapsed on his back "I need to catch my breath…Huff…"

"Take your time, I'll take care of him in the meantime" Calvin responded.

"Y-You!!" Katakuri's eyes burned with a mixture of hostility and surprise as he stared at Calvin in disbelief. He had never imagined that a single punch could inflict so much damage on him "I thought you were fighting mama".

"There is no need, Ashen is going to take care of her from now on" Calvin spoke in a low, grave voice, his tone heavy with tension. He reached for his pocket, retrieved a cigarette, and lit it with a flick of his lighter "Puff…You certainly gave my comrades a beating. But don't worry, I'll make sure to return the favor tenfold"

A few minutes earlier,

"Hey, Calvin!" Ashen turned to Calvin, a wide grin spreading across his face, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. Before he even had the chance to speak, Calvin already knew what Ashen was going to ask for.

"You want to fight her alone?" Calvin cracked a smile knowing fully his captain's attention.

"Hahaha! You really now me very well…I can handle this old hag, you help out Enel and Moria, I think they might be in trouble" Ashen said before and turned his gaze to Big Mom "I'll beat Big Mom no matter what".

"If it's you then I have no doubt" Calvin said with a grin before he turned back and walked away "I'll let you handle her Ashen, I'll take care of that Katakuri guy"

"I'm counting on you"

"Maaa ma ma ma…You think you can take me on alone you brat?" Big Mom's face twisted into a maniacal grin as she held Napoleon with both hands. Suddenly, thick black lightning crackled and surged around the sword "Dream time is over, Asheeen!!"

"Hmph…I'll humble you, you shitty emperor!" Ashen's grip on Shusui tightened as he infused the legendary sword with Advanced Conqueror's Haki and Advanced Armament Haki. With a fierce battle cry, he launched himself towards Big Mom.

"Oraaaaa!!!"

"Haaaaaa!!!"

*Lightning*-*Lightning*-*BOOOOM* As their swords clashed, an enormous bolt of lightning crackled to life between them, its raw power causing the ground beneath them to quake and fissure. For a moment, they pushed against each other with all their might, their wills locked in a fierce struggle. Then, with a deafening roar, both combatants unleashed their Conqueror's Haki in a massive blast of force that tore through the sky, splitting it asunder with a shockwave that echoed for miles around.

"T-The heavens…cracked open!!"
