Chapter 146
"Big Brother Katakuri, the guests have all been evacuated, but Longbread’s side still needs another hour to finish preparing."
The burly Charlotte Moscato, carrying a long sword that looked like an ice cream cone, shouted loudly.
He was the 16th son of the Charlotte Family and the Ice Cream Minister of Totland Kingdom. In the original story, he nearly died after having 40 years of his lifespan taken for stepping in to stop Big Mom’s eating disorder rampage.
"I understand."
"You guys should move a bit farther away too. Mama can’t recognize you right now. If you’re not careful, you might lose your lives to Mama."
Katakuri first nodded, then seriously urged them to leave quickly.
Although Big Mom could hear people talking right now, she only retained her desire for food.
In her eating disorder state, she wouldn’t show mercy even to family. Anyone who stood in her way would become her enemy!
"I understand, Big Brother Katakuri. You be careful too."
Upon hearing this, Moscato also understood. He would only get in the way here. Katakuri couldn’t take care of them and fight Mama at the same time.
However, before leaving, he still looked at Katakuri with worried eyes.
"Where are Cracker and Smoothie?? We can’t let Big Brother Katakuri face Mama alone. We need to find support."
Moscato, who had left the battlefield, ran through the streets, constantly scanning back and forth for traces of the other Sweet Commanders.
However, after Smoothie had contacted Rorschach earlier, she had disappeared, seemingly to prepare something.
Before her prepared surprise could arrive, Big Mom’s eating disorder had already acted up first.
After searching without success, Moscato could only rush to the kitchen to urge the chefs to hurry and make the wedding cake.
But the kitchen was already in a state of war, with all the chefs working non-stop.
Back on the battlefield.
"Hurry up and bring me the wedding cake!!"
Big Mom’s eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Katakuri, who was confronting her, and shouted loudly.
"Calm down, Mama. The chefs are already making the wedding cake. It’ll be ready in a little while."
Facing Big Mom’s roar, Katakuri spoke calmly.
"Who are you?! I want to eat the wedding cake right now!! Hurry up and bring it to me!!"
"Or are you here to stop me from eating the wedding cake too?!"
Katakuri’s persuasion had no effect. Instead, it provoked Big Mom’s hostility.
Right now, she could hear Katakuri speaking, but she wouldn’t think too much about it. She would only willfully demand that others prepare everything she wanted.
Otherwise, she would destroy everything. Until she got the food she wanted, she would remain in this state.
After speaking, Big Mom swung her fist toward Katakuri, but the latter skillfully dodged it with a flash.
Boom.
Big Mom’s fist smashed into the ground, instantly creating a large crater.
"Isn’t it working? It looks like a fight is unavoidable. I can only stop Mama from destroying the entire city."
Katakuri glanced at the large crater on the ground and calmly analyzed the situation.
He had encountered this kind of thing a few times before, but every time he tried to awaken Charlotte Linlin’s sanity, it ended in failure.
"Wedding cake..."
"Wedding cake..."
"Where the hell is the wedding cake?!!"
After missing her strike, Big Mom stood in place muttering to herself, then let out an earth-shaking roar.
At the same time, Conqueror’s Haki erupted from her body and spread in all directions.
The powerful Conqueror’s Haki directly impacted the citizens and Homies who hadn’t left the town yet.
Citizens and pirates fainted on the spot, while Homies lost their souls due to fear and turned back into lifeless objects.
"How can this be?! Mama doesn’t usually use Conqueror’s Haki like this during her eating disorder."
Katakuri’s eyes widened in shock as he watched Big Mom release Conqueror’s Haki.
"I can’t let Mama continue like this, or all the Homies will be wiped out."
Cold sweat dripped from Katakuri’s forehead. He felt helpless watching some immobile tree Homies lose their souls from the Haki’s shock.
So he also chose to release his Conqueror’s Haki.
However, it was far inferior to Big Mom’s. Still, it caught Big Mom’s attention. The Conqueror’s Haki shockwave returned and shot fully toward Katakuri’s direction.
Boom.
Two massive auras collided. The black-blue aura symbolizing Katakuri clashed with the black-pink aura symbolizing Charlotte Linlin.
Black-red lightning erupted at the point of impact.
Then both Conqueror’s Haki auras dissipated at the same time, also clearing the clouds in the sky. The sea churned violently.
"Hehe, how interesting. Not only does she attack her own son, she even uses Conqueror’s Haki. Will she send Katakuri a Weiguo next?"
Rorschach, watching from the edge of the battlefield, observed the two’s Conqueror’s Haki clash with interest, then downed the coconut juice in his hand.
"Katakuri, do you need help? Just say the word, and I can hold Big Mom off for a while."
Throwing the tall glass to the ground, Rorschach flashed to a rooftop not far from Katakuri and asked in a playful tone.
After eating and drinking his fill... of course he wanted to relax a bit.
Big Mom was rampaging right now, and Rorschach was feeling a bit itchy to fight.
He didn’t mind testing the waters with Big Mom before the real war started.
Katakuri’s eyes turned to the side. Rorschach was sitting on the edge of the rooftop with his arms crossed and legs crossed, looking very interested in Big Mom’s current state.
"No need. Lord Rorschach is an honored guest. How can we let you take action?" frёeωebɳovel.com
"Besides, if you fight with Mama, I’m afraid the entire Cake Island would be destroyed by you two."
"Please leave this to us, the children of the Charlotte Family. I ask that Lord Rorschach step back for now."
Katakuri said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he felt the current situation was somewhat tricky.
Mama was in her eating disorder state. If Rorschach had any ill intentions, there was basically no military force here that could stop him right now.
This exposed the family’s true vulnerability completely in front of Rorschach.
"I see. Then I won’t interfere with your family matters. If you can’t handle it, you can come find me for help."
"Of course, it’s free. I won’t charge you anything."
Rorschach shrugged, then spoke with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Rorschach. If we really run into trouble, I will seriously consider it."
Katakuri nodded, but his face was turned toward Big Mom. He didn’t dare to be careless. After all, the person in front of him was the leader of their Charlotte Pirates, Charlotte Linlin.
Upon hearing this, Rorschach also flashed away from the battlefield and returned to the edge.
"What? Feeling itchy and wanting to fight the Four Emperor Big Mom?"
Seeing Rorschach shuttling back and forth around the battlefield, Reiju asked curiously.
"A little. I wonder if my current strength can defeat the overlord of this sea?"
"That old guy Kizaru is like a slippery old loach. Fighting him makes it hard to gauge my true level right now."
In previous battles with Kizaru, most of the time Kizaru was dodging, and only when he had no choice would he use sword techniques to clash with Rorschach.
This made Rorschach feel somewhat uncomfortable fighting, like he couldn’t fully unleash himself.
Big Mom and the other Four Emperors were different from Kizaru. They specialized in close combat, blade-to-flesh fighting styles.
Fighting them would probably be more interesting. Whose body and strength would be stronger?
"I’m really looking forward to it~~~" Rorschach laughed.
On the battlefield, Big Mom continuously swung her fists at Katakuri.
The latter could only dodge or block with mochi, trying his best to guide Big Mom toward the forest outside the town.
If their fight took place inside the town, it would definitely be destroyed completely.
"Damn it, have they still not found Smoothie and Cracker? If this continues, Big Brother Katakuri won’t be able to hold on much longer."
On the other side of the battlefield’s edge, several Charlotte Family children were also nervously watching the fight.
Among them was Charlotte Galette, whom Rorschach was particularly fond of.
"It seems Smoothie has been found. She’s rushing over at full speed now. We just need to hold on a little longer."
"That’s great. With the strongest Big Brother Katakuri and Smoothie, they should definitely be able to stop Mama’s rampage, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Charlotte Family children showed happy expressions.
They were already hyping it up before the fight even started. However, they didn’t know what a flag was and were only comforting themselves inwardly.
They believed that the two strongest Sweet Commanders working together could stop Mama’s rampage.
"Get out of my way! Don’t interfere with me!"
"Napoleon!"
The constantly blocked Charlotte Linlin roared angrily and took off the hat on her head.
"Yes! Mama!"
Napoleon responded and instantly turned into a long sword.
"Mama, who is the enemy?!" Napoleon, who had just woken up, looked around.
No matter how he looked, there was only Katakuri in front of him, and he also knew Katakuri was Mama’s son.
"The enemy? The enemy is right in front of me?!"
"Go die!"
Big Mom charged forward holding Napoleon and slashed straight at Katakuri’s head with one swing.
"So fast..."
"No good, the speed is too fast. I can’t dodge."
Katakuri’s pupils shrank as his brain worked at high speed.
"Mochi Wall!"
His hands instantly turned into mochi, and then a thick mochi wall appeared in front of him, coated with dense Armament Haki.
Cold sweat dripped from Katakuri’s forehead. He didn’t know if the mochi wall he hastily created could block Mama’s slash.
Clang.
Just as Napoleon was about to hit the mochi wall, a long sword blocked Napoleon’s attack.
Boom.
The person holding the long sword and clashing with Napoleon was instantly sent flying back.
Scrape scrape scrape.
The sound of shoes scraping against the ground. They dug a trench into the earth.
Rorschach’s eyes lit up the moment he saw this person, while Katakuri also breathed a sigh of relief.
The one who came was Smoothie. However, the current Smoothie was quite different from before.
She had taken off her previous one-piece outfit and scarf, changing into a pink short skirt. The somewhat strange shoes had also been replaced with ordinary boots.
She had removed the hat on her head and carefully arranged her hair, with a small flower as decoration beside her ear.
The pink short skirt accentuated Smoothie’s proud figure, which was why Rorschach’s eyes lit up.
Because this appearance had too strong a contrast with Smoothie’s previous look. It was like a battle-hardened warrior had turned into a gentle, homemaking woman, giving off a fresh beauty.
"Big Brother Katakuri, are you okay?"
Smoothie panted. She had rushed to the venue at full speed and instantly felt something was wrong the moment she saw Mama take out Napoleon.
Without thinking, she charged forward to block Mama’s strike, but the strength gap was too big and she was still sent flying back.
Then Katakuri quickly came to her side.
"I’m fine. You came at just the right time, Smoothie. Work with me to guide Mama toward the forest outside. We absolutely cannot let Mama continue destroying the city."
"But will your current outfit affect your fighting?"
Katakuri nodded at her, stated his plan, then asked with some hesitation.
"No problem. It’s just a change of clothes. It won’t affect the fight much."
Right now, besides the long sword on her back, she wasn’t wearing any of her usual items.
She had even put on light makeup and wore earrings.
"Well, we can only stop Mama’s rampage first. We’ll discuss that matter again after Mama regains her senses."
"Mm, there’s no other way." Smoothie said with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Katakuri felt a bit guilty inside.
"Sorry to trouble you, Smoothie. You dressed up so beautifully for once, but now you’re going to get all dirty."
"It’s fine. I can have Big Sister Custard and the others dress me up again some other day."
Smoothie smiled indifferently, not minding it at all. Then her expression suddenly became serious again.
"Careful! Mama is attacking again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Big Mom’s slash came again. The two jumped aside at the same time, leaving only the ground shattered by Big Mom’s attack.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The two figures kept jumping back and forth. The battlefield gradually moved toward the forest outside the venue.
"What an annoying bunch! Always running around everywhere. All of you who are blocking me from eating the wedding cake, just die!!"
The long chase made Big Mom feel extremely irritated.
She swung Napoleon, powerful Haki gathering on it, with strands of black lightning accompanying the blade.
"Elbaf’s Spear · Weiguo!!"
The massive sword wave shot toward Smoothie at high speed.
Just now, when Smoothie and Katakuri dodged Big Mom’s attack, they had jumped in two different directions.
The moment she landed, Big Mom’s sword wave came rushing toward her. She had no time to react or dodge again.
She could only watch helplessly as Big Mom’s Weiguo charged toward her.
Katakuri on the side also widened his eyes. At this distance, he couldn’t provide instant support.
But this was his little sister! How could he let his sister die in front of him?
No matter how he moved his feet, he couldn’t save Smoothie before Weiguo arrived.
Smoothie herself was already so scared she couldn’t move. She stood frozen in place, mouth wide open in terror as she watched this scene.
’Am I... going to die?’
This thought emerged in her mind.
Suddenly, a strong and powerful hand grabbed her waist.
Smoothie felt a huge force pulling at her waist, and then her body was pulled into a strong embrace.
