Even the youngest of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, was decades older than Chiga—yet now, standing powerless under his might, he had no words to refute being called a "child." The sheer humiliation was deafening.
From afar, Yamato raised both arms, calling out with admiration,
Kaido shot her a sharp glare, his fury building. Your own father was beaten like that, and all you can do is praise the man who did it?
But Yamato only scoffed, her posture proud and unmoved. She ignored Kaido completely.
In frustration, Kaido reached for his trademark Spiked Club—only to find nothing but broken fragments. It was then he remembered: it had been shattered by Susanoo's earlier strike.
On another part of the battlefield, Big Mom discarded the now-useless Napoleon, letting it crash onto the ice like a broken relic. Her fury boiled over.
"Tenman Daijizai Tenjin!!" she roared.
Zeus darkened instantly, transforming into a monstrous black thundercloud. His expression was twisted with rage as violent bolts of lightning surged across his body. All of it focused on one target—Chiga.
Inside the floating, diamond-shaped Susanoo cockpit, Chiga watched Zeus with curious interest. As the wielder of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he should be the supreme controller of lightning. But Zeus was... different. His lightning had a will of its own, resisting even Chiga's manipulation.
Intrigued, Chiga raised a hand, and with a pulse of Almighty Pull, dragged Zeus straight into the cockpit.
The Susanoo shell split open, revealing Chiga's calm gaze as he pulled Zeus in. The moment Zeus saw the Rinnegan, he trembled in fear and reverted to his original, pure white form. His body shook violently, completely submitting to Chiga's presence.
From Chiga's left eye, a wisp of chilling Yomi energy flowed out. Zeus's eyes glazed over, his rebellious will crushed. He floated beside Chiga like a domesticated pet.
Big Mom tried to call him back, but their connection had already been severed.
"What did you do to Zeus?!" she shrieked in horror.
Chiga responded with a silent wave of Yomi Chill. Prometheus, Big Mom's last remaining Homie, rushed to intercept, spitting fire in a desperate defense. But the Yomi energy overwhelmed him effortlessly. The fire spirit froze solid, fell to the ground, and shattered into icy shards.
Zeus was now Chiga's. The other Homies were destroyed.
The Yomi Yomi no Mi completely overpowered Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit.
Red Hair, watching from a distance, frowned. He didn't understand the nature of the Yomi Fruit, but he could sense its origin wasn't ordinary. His eyes locked on the two strange tomoe in Chiga's Rinnegan.
After watching Big Mom be casually dismantled—her Homies destroyed, her power neutralized—she snapped. Her aura surged into a wild frenzy. She screamed to the sky, her voice laced with Conqueror's Haki, sending violent shockwaves in every direction.
The ice cracked beneath her. Marines and pirates alike collapsed from the sheer force of her Haki-laced scream, many clutching their heads in agony, some falling unconscious on the spot.
Chiga simply found it annoying.
With a thought, his Susanoo spread its wings and launched into the sky, only to dive straight down like a comet. Its colossal foot crashed into Big Mom, slamming her deep into the ice layer. The shrieking stopped instantly.
Water surged from the massive crater.
Susanoo slowly withdrew its foot, and Big Mom was gone.
Moments later, the massive warrior made of chakra and energy began to fade. Chiga floated down calmly, arms crossed, utterly indifferent to Red Hair and Kaido nearby.
He stopped at the edge of the crater and extended a hand.
Big Mom's massive body, drenched in seawater, floated upward. Her eyes had rolled back. She was unconscious—completely helpless.
Kaido instinctively stepped forward to help, but Shanks blocked him, placing a hand on his chest.
"Don't," Shanks muttered. "Her body's the toughest among us. She'll survive."
Chiga summoned the Susanoo Sword once again, its blade now engraved with dark, pulsing patterns. He drove it into Big Mom's chest.
The blade sank in with no resistance. Blood erupted into the air.
In the distance, the Big Mom Pirates screamed in despair.
Her children rushed forward but were intercepted by Kizaru. He raised a finger, golden light forming at its tip while his other hand remained casually in his pocket.
"How touching," Kizaru said mockingly. "Children who've lost their mother... maybe you should rest for a while."
With that, a volley of golden lasers fired into their path, forcing them back.
The Whitebeard Pirates watched the grim scene unfold. Their hearts sank. Sympathy—and dread—settled in their chests.
Their "Old Man" still lived, but it wouldn't be long. They could feel it. At this rate, they'd soon be orphans too.
They wanted to help, but Akainu, radiating pure magma heat, stood in their way. They didn't dare move.
The battlefield was soaked in blood. Corpses littered the ice—most of them pirates.
With Chiga occupying the Four Emperors, the remaining forces had been left to face three Admirals,Vice Admirals, six Warlords, and the full might of the Navy.
The Red Hair Pirates, having an elite formation, held on. But the Big Mom Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates were crumbling. Over half of their forces had fallen.
As for the Beasts Pirates, they hadn't truly committed to battle. They had hovered at the edges, suffering minimal losses. It wasn't hard to see why—Kaido's bond with Chiga was different. After all, Yamato was the disciple of Admiral Purple Kirin.
With that connection, an unspoken agreement had formed. Neither side was going for the kill.
As a result, Kaido and his crew had become the biggest "actors" in this war.
The Susanoo Sword embedded in Big Mom pulsed with electricity. Lightning, wild and unrelenting, surged through her body. Her powerful physique meant nothing now. Internally, her organs were being destroyed.
Few Logia-class Devil Fruits could rival the Goro Goro no Mi in raw destructive force. Even the Magma-Magma Fruit wasn't clearly superior.
Big Mom's eyes widened, consciousness returning for a fleeting moment. She stared at the sword impaled in her chest, lips parting as if to say something.
Chiga didn't let her.
The Susanoo Sword expanded suddenly, and her life force vanished.
Charlotte Linlin, the Yonko known as Big Mom, was dead.
