The Temperature of Lightning!

The Big Mom Pirates is a family power established with family at its core and blood ties as its bond.

In order to establish this vast family that Charlotte Linlin believed would help her achieve her dreams, she spent almost half her life bearing children.

Although she gave birth to a total of 39 daughters and 46 sons, only fewer than twenty inherited her powerful bloodline.

Among them, there were only eight who stood out as the main fighting force of the family.

These eight main fighting forces are:

The eldest son, Minister of Candy, Charlotte Perospero, a superhuman with the Candy-Candy Fruit ability.The eldest daughter, Minister of Fruit, Charlotte Compote, who to some extent inherited Charlotte Linlin's monstrous strength and iron skin, or it could be said she's a low-budget version of Charlotte Linlin.The second son, Minister of Flour, Charlotte Katakuri, the most outstanding among these children, a superhuman with the Mochi-Mochi Fruit ability, who completed the fruit awakening and possesses all three Haki colors: Observation, Armament, and Conqueror's.The third son, Minister of Beans, Charlotte Daifuku, a superhuman with the Steam-Steam Fruit ability, who developed the ability to summon a genie although he cannot grant wishes.The fourth son, Minister of Baking, Charlotte Oven, a superhuman with the Heat-Heat Fruit ability, known in the underworld as the Fast-Heating Human.The tenth son, Minister of Biscuits, Charlotte Cracker, a superhuman with the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit ability, who has also played his part well.The fourteenth daughter, Minister of Juice, Charlotte Smoothie, a superhuman with the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit ability, rightfully known as the Juice Queen, with her silver hair and long legs as her plus points.And currently a little brat, the twenty-fifth son, Minister of Explosives, Charlotte Snack.

It can be said that almost all the prominent fighting forces of the Big Mom Pirates participated in the encirclement battle against Nicholas.

Oven, a superhuman with the Heat-Heat Fruit ability, glanced at Charlotte Linlin who was confronting Nicholas, then looked at the brothers and sisters around him, feeling somewhat relieved. This time, he didn't need anyone to hold him back.

He strode directly to the front of the group, casting a cold glance at Nicholas.

"Nicholas, you're done for today!"

Oven, who was always hot-tempered, directly issued a death threat to Nicholas.

Hiss...

As the words fell, Oven's body suddenly turned as red as a branding iron, emitting a slight sizzling sound similar to water meeting high temperature.

Almost immediately, everyone subconsciously moved away from Oven, who was emanating terrifying heat, to avoid being burned.

"Inferno!"

Then, Oven leaped into the air, simultaneously extending his hands, which were radiating intense heat, towards Nicholas.

The heat continuously released from his hands caused even the surrounding air to distort.

"To contend with 'true strength,' I'm sure I'm not as good as you..."

While exerting all his strength to unleash the power of his fruit, Oven looked up at Nicholas, who was approaching.

"But before you knock me out, at least I can wear you down!"

With Oven's roar, seemingly endless heat surged out from his body under his control.

Nicholas calmly watched Oven releasing heat.

Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of Oven before the latter could react, reaching out and grabbing his face.

Then, as Oven looked somewhat bewildered, Nicholas slowly spoke.

"Heat-Heat Fruit, with your current experience with it you may be barely able to heat the surrounding by 1000 degree max. But have you ever thought the power of lightning? the temperature of lightning is terrifying! The temperature of lightning ranges from 10,000 to 28,000 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 3 to 5 times the temperature of the surface of the sun. So..."

As Nicholas spoke, his hand gripping Oven's face transformed into lightning, and a dazzling white light appeared between the two.

At that moment, many members of the Big Mom Pirates thought they saw light.

And Oven felt like he turned into light at that moment!

As the intense light vanished, a figure shrouded in smoke fell weakly from the sky. It was none other than Oven, with his eyes rolled back and a terrifying palm print on his face.

"Oh, does the fruit ability prevent the brain from being burned?"

Watching Oven fall, Nicholas dodged attacks with a flicker of movement, murmuring to himself.

Almost simultaneously, a figure quickly leaped up, caught Oven, and threw him directly into the mirror.

In the Mirror World, Brûlée and the emergency medical team of the Charlotte family were already waiting.

"You are really worthy of being a good brother of the Charlotte family, Perospero."

Watching Oven fall nearby, Nicholas spoke slowly.

"Lick-lick~~~!"

Perospero looked at Nicholas in the air, sweat breaking out on his forehead. The opponent's strength was indeed a bit too exaggerated.

With even Oven, who was among the top ten fighting forces of the Charlotte family, being taken out in one blow, Perospero once again realized the gap between them and the top forces on the sea. He began to doubt whether the Charlotte family could really complete the encirclement against Nicholas.

Faced with the terrifying Nicholas, Perospero, who was usually a chatterbox, couldn't even utter a word of nonsense.

After all, speaking nonsense to opponents weaker or equal to oneself could be seen as a form of psychological attack, but speaking nonsense to opponents much stronger than oneself could very well draw their attention.

"Mom, let's retreat first! Let's deal with that guy according to the battle plan!"

Perospero shouted loudly to Charlotte Linlin.

And Charlotte Linlin also left the battlefield, staring at Nicholas from a distance.

"It's our turn..."

Daifuku, the Minister of Beans, crossed his arms and looked at the enemy in the air, speaking in a deep voice:

"Even if we're not as good as that guy in terms of 'true strength'..."

Monde, who was burly and wore a hat containing various pink flowers on her head, bore a striking resemblance to her elder sister Compote, Smiled kindly.

…

"...our main task is to wear him out."

After finishing his words, Katakuri glanced at Nicholas in the air.

Although they knew this tactic was dirty, facing Nicholas, they could only resort to such dirty tactics to kill him.

"So let's get moving. Don't let Mom get anxious, or else there might be some accidents."

The members of the Charlotte family couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of Charlotte Linlin losing her sanity, which could lead to disastrous consequences.

Perospero raised his candy cane, pointing it at Nicholas in the field, sneering:

"In short, let's make the most of our 'military' advantage and wear Nicholas out quickly. After all, we can't let Mom wait too long...!"

Perospero sneered repeatedly. In his view, using the Homies, which could be mass-produced, to wear down Nicholas's stamina was a top-notch idea!
