Opera dies!

"Is it you who killed brother Counter!"

Just then, two angry voices rang out, and then two figures, somewhat resembling the deceased Charlotte Counter, angrily jumped out.

They were none other than Counter's brothers, Charlotte Cadenza and Charlotte Cabaletta.

"Hey, Cadenza, Cabaletta, don't be impulsive, you're no match for that guy!"

Before Opera could finish speaking, the two brothers directly covered their arms with Haki and then ordered the surviving Homies soldiers around them to attack Nicholas.

For the Homies, the orders of the Charlotte family members ranked only below Charlotte Linlin herself.

Therefore, in a moment, under the oppression of Charlotte Linlin, the Homies rushed to Nicholas one after another.

Nicholas, who was surrounded, did not panic at all, but continued to look at Opera standing outside the battle circle. After all, the cases of failed Awakenings in the Superhuman series were very rare.

Nicholas looked at Opera with a calm expression.

Then, lightning clones appeared beside him and quickly attacked the enemies, engaging in battle with the chess soldiers on the island and Charlotte Cadenza and Charlotte Cabaletta.

For a while, chaos ensued.

However, while the lightning clones fought the chess soldiers, the battle between the remnants of the Cream Island forces and the clones also ended.

Alone facing Nicholas and the numerous lightning clones around him, even Opera, who had nearly successfully Awakened the Cream Cream Fruit and possessed the Superhuman series power, couldn't last more than five seconds before being seriously injured and falling to the ground.

"Is this it?" Nicholas frowned as he looked at the motionless Opera on the ground.

This was different from what he had expected. After all, although those with Paramecia-type Devil Fruit abilities lost consciousness after a failed Awakening, their physical qualities and recovery abilities were almost indistinguishable from when they were Awakened.

So, although Opera could still use his Cream Cream Awakened ability to affect the surrounding objects, his combat power was really weak.

Despite being seriously injured, Opera did not lose consciousness. He could only stare resentfully at Nicholas.

A few minutes later.

Nicholas held in his hand a Devil Fruit that looked like a cream puff.

And on Cream Island, there were three bodies with similar appearances.

It seemed that because the Devil Fruit was removed, Opera, who had turned into a monster, had reverted to his normal appearance.

[AN= maybe because either opera failed awakening or Nicholas has a device to extract the power or he carried a normal fruit and opera's power after his death went to the nearest fruit]

...

On the sea in the central region of the Tottoland Sea.

A high-ranking ship flying the BIGMOM pirate flag sailed through the waves.

On the deck of the ship, Perospero held a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"To capture both Cocoa Island and Thick Island in such a short time..."

"Our four brothers are all dead..."

"That guy Nicholas's mobility is really tricky."

"Damn Nicholas, if he continues like this, Tottoland is really in danger!"

Listening to the Den Den Mushi, Perospero's face showed a gloomy expression, and he gritted his teeth: "If that guy doesn't fight us head-on, but instead picks us off one by one, then our forces distributed on each island will become passive!"

"So what do you want to do, Perospero?"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi came the voice of Charlotte Katakurri.

With the distribution of islands in Tottoland, it was impossible to concentrate all the forces in one place. Aside from the cake reconnaissance ships patrolling the sea area, there had to be troops stationed on each island to maintain security.

Therefore, the dispersion of forces was inevitable.

However, with the alert network set up in the sea area by a large number of sea slugs and patrol reconnaissance ships, forces could be mobilized to intercept invaders at the first sign of detection.

But now Nicholas's terrifying mobility had perfectly restrained Tottoland's alert network.

And those forces dispersed on various islands were obviously not a match for Nicholas.

Faced with Katakurri's inquiry, Perospero fell silent for a moment.

"Don't——Don't——"

Just then, another Den Den Mushi on Perospero's body suddenly rang.

Hearing the sound, Perospero quickly answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Perospero-sama, it's bad, Almond Island in the southwest region has also been attacked by Nicholas, and all the armed forces stationed on Almond Island have been wiped out!"

"What!? We just arrived on Thick cream Island a few minutes ago..."

Perospero's face was shocked, and he turned sideways to look towards Almond Island.

In less than ten minutes, Nicholas had successively captured Cocoa Island, Thick Island, and now, with astonishing efficiency, directly attacked Almond Island!

If Nicholas were allowed to continue like this...

All the islands in Tottoland, except for Cake Island, were likely to be destroyed!

Thinking of this, Perospero couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Damn Nicholas..."

"This guy is the most difficult enemy Tottoland has ever faced!!!"

Obviously, even when fighting against Whitebeard, Perospero had never been so gritted his teeth before.

After all, although Whitebeard was powerful, he could still be confronted head-on.

Unlike Nicholas, who kept changing places after every attack and had terrifying strength.

Wasn't this bullying!

Within ten minutes.

Cocoa Island, Thick Island, and Almond Island.

A total of three islands were captured by Nicholas.

Or more accurately—

Destroyed!

For Tottoland, this was not only an unprecedentedly serious situation, but also the greatest loss suffered since its founding.

And this level of loss might only be the beginning.

"This is simply a disaster..."

The cadres of the Big Mom Pirates, upon receiving the news of the third island being captured, all shared the same feeling of astonishment.

"All hands, head to the outer waters of Cake Island!"

Just as the many cadres of the Big Mom Pirates were thinking about Nicholas's terror, Perospero's resolute voice suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Perospero-sama, go to the outer waters of Cake Island? What about the other islands?"

The Minister of Biscuit, Charlotte Cracker, couldn't help but speak up.

After all, Mom's—Tottoland.

It was based on the 34 islands under its jurisdiction.

In this sea area, the 34 islands were scattered all over, close to each other and echoing each other.

Such a geographical position that perfectly realized Mom's dream could not be found in the entire New World except here.

So, if Nicholas were allowed to continue destroying the islands under the kingdom's jurisdiction, it meant...

Mom's dream would be shattered, and once Mom found out that they had given up these islands, then...

Just imagining the consequences of this matter, the many cadres of the pirate group felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, shivering.

The situation... was more severe than they had imagined.
