Chapter 170 BIG MOM Arrives!

New World, Whole Cake Island.

"Mama! Mama!"

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a childish yet urgent voice grew closer.

The living candle flames on the castle walls blinked their sleepy eyes, illuminating the small figure.

It was a girl around 8 or 9 years old with long pink hair and fair skin, black horn-like accessory on her forehead.

"Hm… is it Galette?"

Recognizing her mother's familiar voice, the young Galette trembled with fear.

Little Galette said shakily, "Mama! You said before… to tell you immediately if there was news about Brother Katakuri or Brother Cracker…"

"Katakuri and Cracker? Ah yes, I remember…" Charlotte Linlin paused her cake-stuffing. "I did send them after that White Ghost, didn't I?"

The thought made BIG MOM laugh merrily, her face innocently joyful like a child with a new doll.

"Mamamamama, Little Galette, tell me, did Katakuri bring that White Ghost novice back to Totto Land? I've already planned out what groom's outfit to put on him."

"N-No, it's not that!" Galette clenched her fists, struggling to control her shock and dread.

"It's not about Brother Katakuri… It's Brother Cracker, his Vivre card suddenly turned to ash. And Sister Amande's is slowly burning away too..."

"What did you say?!!"

BIG MOM leaned forward abruptly, the relaxed expression on her face vanishing, her huge, bell-like eyes filled with ferocity.

"Are you saying those two useless pieces, Cracker and Amande, are actually dead?!"

A strong sense of fear instantly brought tears to little Galette's eyes, but she still responded with a trembling voice. "Before I came, sister Amande's life card, it had stopped burning…"

"So Cracker is indeed dead, and that useless Amande is not?"

BIG MOM felt dissatisfaction once again.

In her eyes, perhaps a child defeated in battle and dead is more acceptable than one who is critically injured but not dead.

"Zeus! Zeus! Take me to the room where Vivre cards are!"

BIG MOM let out a deafening roar, calling for her powerful "Homies" created by splitting her own soul — Zeus, the thundercloud, representing the terrifying power of weather and lightning.

Responding to BIG MOM's call, a white cloud with a sleepy child's face wearing a hat appeared before her.

At the same time, two other powerful Homies instantly drew near – one transforming into a red sun with an eerie face, the other into a bicorne hat with a white skull design.

The Sun Prometheus with flame abilities, and the Hat Napoleon able to become a giant sword.

Accompanied by a howling wind, BIG MOM's massive figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Little Galette hung her head, legs trembling. She then dragged her heavy steps away.

...

On Mystoria Island.

The battle between Adrian and Katakuri still raged on.

Facing Katakuri's Awakened Mochi-Mochi Fruit, Adrian abandoned any thought of close-quarters sword fight.

While skilled with the sword, it was not Adrian's greatest strength.

The idea of defeating an Awakened Katakuri with sword mastery was purely delusion.

As the old saying goes:

To defeat magic, you must use magic—

Bah!

To defeat Devil Fruit abilities, you must use Devil Fruit abilities!

Adrian stands high in the sky, continuously launching concentrated ghost energy attacks down on Mystoria Island, with a mix of mini ghost and giant ghost explosive attacks.

And Katakuri below seems somewhat powerless against such attacks.

Although the power of an awakened Paramecia-type Devil Fruit is incredibly strong, granting the user a range of attacks similar to those of a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

The advantage of terrain cannot be compensated for just by awakening a Devil Fruit!

Facing White Ghost, who can freely fly in the sky.

Katakuri's means of attack still seems a bit weak

As time passes, Adrian's relentless Ghost Energy Cannon attacks have plowed through Mystoria Island, with many relatively fragile areas even being directly sunken into the sea by the powerful force of the Ghost Energy Cannon!

Compared to before, Mystoria Island has lost at least one-fifth of its area.

Katakuri is very clear that if he continues to allow White Ghost to bombard so recklessly, sooner or later there will come a time when he will fall into the sea due to a lack of footholds, signaling his defeat!

But ordinary mochi cakes cannot block the attack of the Ghost Energy Cannon, and mochi cakes covered with Armament Haki consume too much physical strength.

If he blindly uses Armament Haki to resist White Ghost's attacks, Katakuri estimates that his defeat will come even faster than with the first method.

"Flowing Mochi!"

Katakuri releases another probing attack.

The ground of the small island, assimilated by the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, suddenly sprouts several thick mochi strips, carrying a howling wind, attempting to launch an attack on White Ghost in the air, like a sudden downpour.

However, facing such an attack, Adrian just yawned lazily. His figure suddenly shrunk, and he nimbly passed through the gaps between the mochi strips.

Then he moved to another area in the sky, continuing to launch Ghost Energy Cannon at Katakuri below, forcing Katakuri to run for cover.

In this sea where the ability to fly is extremely rare, the ghostly body is just so SUPER!

The air-to-ground combat advantage, combined with the devastating ghostly power, made him a literal human self-propelled artillery platform!

At that moment, a red flash in Adrian's eyes made his expression sour.

"You can't win so you're calling for your parents now?"

On the distant horizon, the giant woman wearing in a pale pink dress, standing atop a white cloud, wreathed in flames and lightning zoomed towards the island.

Next, a rending screech tore through the air as a massive mountain of flesh descended from the heavens!

"You! White Ghost brat! did you kill Cracker and Amande?"

BIG MOM sat astride the thundercloud Zeus, fixing her gaze on the handsome small figure opposite with a low chuckle.

"Mamamamama, White Ghost, I'll give you one last chance."

"MARRY OR DIE!"

"FUNNY MUD PEE!"
