Shin's gaze was locked on Big Mom. By his assessment, her defense was probably even stronger than Whitebeard's. It wasn't just her Armament Haki—Hancock's slash had already cut through that. But even after piercing her Haki barrier, the attack still couldn't break her skin.
"It's confirmed. She's a freak."
Even Shin had to admit Big Mom was a freak of nature. Kaido—the so-called Strongest Creature in the world—might not even have better defense than her. He could actually be weaker in that regard.
Among the Four Emperors in the original story, Big Mom was definitely not the weakest link.
"YOU TWO LITTLE BRATS, I'LL KILL YOU!"
Big Mom's face was cruel as she reached for Hancock with her large hand.
"Hmph! You're seriously underestimating me."
Hancock, seeing Big Mom's contemptuous expression, was furious. She channeled the power of her Love-Love Fruit into her blade and struck at Big Mom's hand.
The attack didn't pierce her defense, but the moment it made contact, her hand started turning to stone. The petrification spread rapidly—within seconds, her entire arm had been transformed to solid stone.
Big Mom was shocked, then her face turned fierce. She struck out with her other hand, shattering the petrified arm.
Hancock's face showed a hint of regret. She had almost petrified Big Mom entirely.
Big Mom let out a scream, making Hancock's face turn pale. The terrifying sound wave affected everything around them.
Hancock retreated, only then did she feel better. She hadn't expected Big Mom's voice to be so loud.
"Hancock, are you alright?" Shin asked with concern.
"Shin, I'm... I think I'm not."
Hancock, who was about to say she was fine, her eyes rolled slightly, and then she fell towards Shin and was caught in his embrace.
"I feel dizzy, my limbs are weak. I don't think I can fight anymore..." Hancock said to Shin with an exaggerated expression.
Shin was a bit speechless. If Hancock claimed she was fine, she definitely wasn't. If she admitted she wasn't fine, then she actually was...
"Marguerite, Hancock is not well. Come and take a look at her."
Robin called out to Marguerite, and the blushing girl ran over.
"Uh, the Empress doesn't seem to be in any danger."
Marguerite had been very worried, but after seeing Hancock's condition, she was stunned. There was nothing wrong at all.
"This woman's brain is broken. Can you try to replace it for her?" Robin said with a straight face.
Marguerite was sweating. She could replace a heart with the Op-Op Fruit, but replacing a brain? Forget it. Besides, if you really replaced the brain, would she still be the same person?
"You're the one who needs a brain replacement!" Hancock suddenly jumped up and looked at Robin angrily.
"I'll step in now and take care of Big Mom." Shin said.
"Ah, I think I can handle her."
Hancock quickly said to Shin, wanting to prove herself to him.
"You've already made her lose an arm. You're very impressive. Let me kill her now."
Shin shook his head slightly. Hancock and Olvia probably didn't have the ability to kill someone with such a powerful defense.
Don't be fooled by how Hancock had just turned one of Big Mom's arms to stone—that only worked because she caught her off guard.
From now on, she wouldn't get another opening like that. And don't think Big Mom was slow just because of her massive size. Despite her huge frame, she was incredibly fast.
It would be nearly impossible for Hancock to land another Love-Love Fruit attack on her. Plus, Haki could counter Devil Fruit powers anyway.
"Alright, Hancock, you don't need to act anymore." Shin patted Hancock's little head.
Hancock, being gently patted on the head by Shin, obediently nodded in agreement, then pounced on him, refusing to leave.
Since she had no chance to act, she would just take some advantage of him.
Of course, Hancock thought she was taking advantage, but in Shin's eyes, he was the one who was really taking advantage.
"Olvia, come back." Shin called out to Olvia.
Hearing Shin's words, Olvia was slightly stunned, then nodded and returned to his side.
The Nine-Tomoe Rinne-Tenseigan activated, and Shin gazed calmly at Big Mom in the distance. An overwhelming aura radiated from his body. Big Mom's massive frame went rigid, completely paralyzed by Shin's oppressive presence. Even the Sea Kings in the ocean depths sensed the power and fled in terror.
A Truth-Seeking Orb flew into Shin's hand, forming a light sword that reached the heavens. Then Shin swung it at Big Mom.
No matter how strong her defense was, could she really block the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion? As for dodging—she couldn't even move right now.
Big Mom, along with the entire sea around her, was cleaved in half. And this was with Shin holding back.
If he'd used full power, he couldn't even estimate the devastation it would cause. After all, he'd never unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion at maximum strength.
The remaining crew members of the Big Mom Pirates stared at this scene in a daze. Was this terrifying power really created by a human?
"How should we deal with them?" Olvia asked Shin.
"Them?" Shin glanced at the surviving Big Mom Pirates. There was no point dealing with them. He wouldn't go out of his way to kill them—they posed no threat anymore.
"Let's go. Don't bother with them." The source of thɪs content is ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
Shin shook his head slightly, letting all the members of the Kuja Pirates return and sail away from here.
Whole Cake Island had been completely destroyed, and Big Mom was dead. The remaining Big Mom Pirates were just scattered survivors now.
They might still manage to survive on these seas, but they'd never reclaim their former power.
Worse yet, countless pirate crews would be hunting them down.
Big Mom had been a tyrant, destroying entire nations on a whim. Her children would have to answer for her crimes.
While she was alive, people were too terrified to seek vengeance, but now that she was gone, they'd come for blood with a fury.
