217. Mother Visit Cannon: 3000 Leagues

"If we can't join him, we should still be there to support him. Atlas was on my ship for a bit too, so..."

Akainu instinctively fixed the edge of his hat and spoke with a deep voice.

"If we manage to capture Big Mom this time..." 

Right after saying this, a strong sense of hostility abruptly radiated from his body, and his intense gaze became shrouded in dark shadows.

"Yes, sir!"

Onigumo stood tall and gave a respectful salute to Akainu.

He then turned, drew in a deep breath, opened his mouth, exhaled, and suddenly thunder rumbled across the entire ship.

"Everyone's here, let's sail straight away to aid Broccoli Island!"

Instantly, all Marines received orders to halt and rush back to their positions, and the ship swiftly began its journey.

It's fair to say that among the four candidates for Marine Admiral, only Atlas, who recently took charge, hasn't had much time to train his subordinates.

In contrast to some other experienced Vice Admirals, the Marines in Akainu's fleet are the most disciplined, efficiently carrying out orders and enforcing regulations.

The overall combat style mirrors Akainu's own – resilient and unyielding!

Akainu stood at the ship's bow, feeling the salty sea breeze on his face, his justice cloak fluttering behind him. He gazed solemnly in the direction of the warship, an aura of malevolence surrounding him.

"Big Mom..."

He uttered the name deliberately, his tone icy.

The Pirate Emperor reigning over the New World represents one of the three most formidable forces among all pirates. Big Mom is also the primary obstacle to the Marines' conquest of the New World.

Atlas is the most formidable newcomer in Marine history, aspiring to surpass even the seasoned veterans.

Moreover, Akainu not only approves of Atlas's methods but also appreciates them.

If we can collaborate to capture her this time, even if it compels the Five Elders to include an additional Admiral seat, it won't pose a challenge!

....

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The sun and moon took turns, and the stars dimmed.

Atlas has been facing off against Big Mom for four days, engaging in hundreds of rounds of intense combat.

Thunderous flames rolled and roared in the sky, with explosions echoing through the air. The ground seemed to turn upside down for a moment, and seawater poured in.

Both of them can fly, and their physical strength consumption is minimal.

As a result, the combat prowess of the two remained at its peak, and their bodies bore almost no visible scars.

One boasts exceptional defense, while the other possesses formidable self-healing abilities.

"Hakuryu brat!!!"

Suddenly, Big Mom shouted, sending invisible sound waves in all directions. The formidable Conqueror's Haki was unleashed, and black lightning danced wildly.

Buzz! ! !

"It's so noisy, old woman!!"

Atlas roared impatiently, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, engaged in a continuous clash with the opponent.

Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki resembled an extremely aggressive beast, relentlessly attempting to invade every visible territory.

But this is merely a mindless beast, its thoughts consumed by boundless desires and destruction.

In contrast, Atlas's Conqueror's Haki resembles a sharp sword cutting through everything.

"Mamamamama!"

Big Mom's gaze intensified as she stepped heavily on Zeus, raising Napoleon high above her head and emitting a series of peculiar screams.

"Napoleon!!"

"Here! Mama!"

A large mouth filled with serrations suddenly manifested on the blade, opening and closing up and down.

"Prometheus!!"

"Oh! Mama!!"

"Zeus!!"

"Yes-! Mama!!"

Zeus at his feet also responded, swiftly diverting part of himself. This energy was rapidly channeled by Napoleon, creating a massive ring of thunder and lightning on the blade.

Prometheus' humanized facial features swiftly gripped the tip of the blade in his mouth!

Combined! ! !

"Um!!?"

Atlas was shocked, and upon witnessing it, his anxiety and alertness heightened. The hairs all over his body almost stood up, and an indescribable horror coursed through his body!

"Maser Ho (Roaring Light Cannon)!!!"

Big Mom shouted, pointing the blade at Atlas, and a terrifying laser instantly pierced through his body!

Puff! !

A substantial amount of blood spurted out, and a massive hole suddenly formed in his chest. Internal organs and bones were exposed to the air without restraint. Large streams of blood continued to gush out, flowing down to the sea below.

With a mental command from Atlas, the power of the Horse Talisman gradually consumed his physical strength, and the massive blood hole instantly reverted to its original state.

However, despite being impressed by Atlas's incredible resilience, Big Mom's sword-swinging movements showed no signs of stopping!

A colossal slash surged forth, engulfed in scorching flames and surrounded by thunder and lightning. All of it carried a terrifying power capable of demolishing mountains and annihilating islands.

Maser Saber (Roaring Light Sword)! ! !

This is a slash that fuses the power of the Devil Fruit!

Similar to Issho's Gravito and Jigoku Tabi (Hell Journey) (T/N: Not canon), they showcase formidable swordsmanship combined with unique abilities! !

Swish! !

In haste, Atlas had to defend with his sword. Armament Haki swiftly enveloped the blade, and the black and red Haki, along with the air, emitted sharp, piercing screams!

Ittoryu Genkai Toro (Limit Ascension Floor)! ! !

Clang! !

Upon impact, the tingling sensation of thunder and lightning from the sword blade permeated through the entire body, and a surging heat wave swept over the face. The once black hair instantly turned gray and gleamed! !

The entire person seemed weightless, hurtling backward toward the sea below!

'Damn it! I underestimated this insane woman!'

Atlas cursed inwardly and attempted to utilize the power of the rooster talisman to counteract the downward descent.

However, Big Mom's onslaught extends far beyond that.

As a fearsome figure who once followed Rocks in the early days of sea conquest, though there's still a slight gap between her and legendary pirates like Whitebeard, she currently stands as the most formidable known presence on the sea.

Her skill in pressing the bottom of the box is no less impressive than the other two Emperors of the Sea!

"Kid! Don't underestimate me!"

White flames continued to emanate from her mouth and nose as she excitedly muttered to herself. Placing the back of the sword against her plump shoulder, she swung it down suddenly!

The fruit's abilities converged at the tip of the sword!

A colossal "female" materialized out of thin air and swiftly pursued Atlas!

Bahoho: Misery (Mother Visit Cannon: 3000 Leagues)! ! !

"Tear this brat to pieces for me!!"

Big Mom couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, the corners of her grin almost reaching the base of her ears.

"Sorry, I might disappoint you!"

Just when Big Mom was feeling triumphant, an extremely cold voice suddenly emerged behind her. Simultaneously, a powerful and sharp sword energy continued to pierce her back!

"Hmm!? When!?"
