Linlin

"IT'S YOU!" Linlin said.

Without wasting any time, Big Mom revealed pink orbs in the air, and shot them towards Imai. She stared at the pink orbs and let it attack her.

"AHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE DEAD! I'LL TAKE AWAY YOUR ENTIRE LIFESPAN!" Linlin exclaimed with an evil laugh.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Eh?"

Big Mom glanced down to see that Imai was still standing there, staring back at her, unharmed.

"Don't you remember your own ability?" Imai asked as Big Mom's eyes started to widen in realization. "That's right, it doesn't work on those who fear you. That means I don't fear you."

"DIE!"

Imai quickly jumped to the side to avoid the ball of fire that was directed towards her. Without wasting time, she ran forward, using the people around her as shields to avoid the fire from getting to her.

It was anything but decent human behavior, but they were pirates after all. Imai quickly turned to a streak of lightning and zipped through the air.

Descending onto the arm of Big Mom, she unsheathed her blade that was enveloped in haki, and stabbed deeply into the arm.

A loud scream came from Big Mom causing the surrounding enemies that were fighting each other to fall unconscious. Her scream was powerful enough to send enemies flying and knock them out too.

The shriek caused Imai's dark blue hair to flutter in the air, but she was fine. She wasn't inferior to Big Mom, in fact, she would call herself superior due to her high intelligence and physical capabilities.

Instead of blood, there were pink orbs that were coming out of Big Mom's open wound. The orbs containing years of lifespans were slowly pouring out, ripping away Big Mom's own lifespan.

But she had hundreds of years left anyway.

Prometheus and Zeus, their fire and lightning attacks didn't work on Imai at all. All of their attacks were either evaded or deflected without even looking at them. It was like she had eyes in the back of her head.

"Mama!"

"We'll get her!"

But words were only words after all, such words could only be proven by action. And they were anything but useful to Imai as Big Mom was struggling to get Imai off of her body.

"Did you forget Linlin? The day I saved not only your life, but those that were the emperors. Out of all the emperors, I am the one who solely sits on the throne." Imai said.

Her figure levitated in front of Big Mom's face that held shock and fear. She was covered in streaks of lightning and her blade was held up high with dark purple streaks around it.

That was when Big Mom realized what Imai was trying to do. Quickly, she swung her left arm in hopes of stopping the attack, but she was a few milliseconds too late. Thankfully, she closed her eyes just in time.

"Sovereign's Secret Technique, Splitting Sea."

A vertical dark purple slash in the shape of a crescent moon appeared before making contact with Big Mom's eye. A scar had been carved directly in the middle of Big Mom's right eye.

"Mama!"

"We'll save you!"

Imai didn't pay attention to the words of Big Mom's homies as she turned to lightning to avoid the punch directed towards her.

"Hmm, you don't look any different than before. Perhaps you looked better than you were younger, before you consumed all those souls, and were obsessed with power." Imai said, smirking at the wound she inflicted.

Big Mom opened her right eye and looked down with anger. She didn't feel any pain now that adrenaline was flowing through her veins. The only thing running through her mind was getting her revenge.

"Napoleon!"

"Yes, mama!"

The hat that Big Mom wore had taken the form of a giant blade with insane-looking eyes and a wicked sharp-toothed grin on the sharp edge.

Imai grinned at the sight.

"That's more like it, show me your full power!"

"Get ready to die, Fifth Emperor!"

Heavy rain had started to pour down the sky that was now filled with dark clouds. Loud thunder strikes could be seen and heard from all around Marineford. The battlefield was becoming as dangerous as it could ever be.

"Strike!"

Imai raised her hand in the air when she noticed the movement of Prometheus started to change. His appearance had now changed as he was now pouring out flames of high temperature. As for Zeus, he was now a dark cloud discharging purple lightning around him.

The two homies charged towards Imai as Big Mom trailed behind them. Although she was strong, she was also going against one of the emperors of the sea.

Defeating Big Mom wasn't going to be an easy feat.

*ZZZZ*

A wall of lightning was created from Imai's powers and blocked the two homies from firing any more fireballs and lightning strikes to her. Though they couldn't do anything to her since she was lightning itself, it could get annoying.

The giant blade with the wicked expression came from above. Imai quickly pressed the flat side of her blade and used another hand to block the incoming attack. She could feel her feet digging deeper into the ice.

Although she struggled a bit, the smile on her face remained.

Carefully, she tilted her blade to the left causing the momentum to slip away from her, and crash onto the ground.

*BOOM*

The ice underneath Imai had cracked as she had no choice but to turn into lightning. Utilizing her speed to the fullest, she moved towards the crowd of marines and pirates that were fighting against each other.

Slowly weaving through them and exposing herself from time to time for Big Mom to keep track of her. This had to be done in order to fight in a safer place, away from the crowd that was a hindrance to her.

"STOP RUNNING!"

"Who said I was running?"

She reappeared in front of Big Mom with streaks of purple lightning trailing behind her. Due to the enormous size of the blade, it wasn't hard for Imai to predict the direction it was heading towards.

Right as it was about to hit her, she jumped, and managed to catch the perfect timing. She had successfully jumped on the blade. And because of the large momentum that was carrying the blade, Big Mom couldn't flip the blade in time.

Napoleon, the hat that transformed into a blade, felt agonzing blade. The sharp end of Imai's blade was carving at the flat side of Napoleon as tears were starting to come out of its eyes.

"Mama! It hurts!"

"Shut up!"

As expected of Big Mom, Imai thought. She didn't care about anything but herself, that was why she was going to defeat Big Mom.

Because Big Mom couldn't realize the bigger picture where everything around her helped her become strong, but in the end, she was going to throw it all away.

"All of you are the same, marines, pirates, and emperors. None of you are driven by logic, but emotion. You follow your heart's desire instead of using your brain."

"DIE!"

"That's why you're going to lose."
