Chapter 466: Finally Seized the Opportunity
Chapter 466: Finally Seized the Opportunity
A colossal finger engulfing the entirety of Totto Land!
The moment this object pierced through the cloud layer, every resident of Totto Land looked up, witnessing the apocalyptic sight of a comet-like descent.
On a remote corner of Cake Island, Katakuri—his two purple braids trembling—stood frozen, sweat pouring down his face as he stared at the object plummeting from the sky.
“What in the world is that?!”
Similar exclamations echoed across Totto Land.
“Perospero!”
Perospero gawked upward, his signature speech quirk slipping out. His long tongue drooped unconsciously as syrupy sweat cascaded down his sugary body. The sheer terror left him speechless.
“Totto Land…”
Katakuri’s eyes darkened with dread. The entire territory would be obliterated if that thing struck! None of them would survive!
Before this titanic finger, even the nearly nine-meter-tall Charlotte Big Mom seemed like an ant.
Gritting her teeth, she glared at the descending monstrosity and roared, “You brat! You can’t escape this attack either! Do you want to die with me?!”
“Not a chance,” Kuro replied.
As the finger loomed over his head, the crushing air pressure sent his hair whipping wildly. Yet his body continued rising. Suddenly, a section of the finger’s surface split open, revealing a cavernous opening just large enough for him to enter.
“The matter I control bends to my will. You and your Totto Land can perish together, old hag!”
With those words, Kuro leaned back, vanishing into the finger’s depths.
Beneath the heavens, only that earth-shattering finger remained, descending like divine retribution.
The low-pressure zone it generated sent tremors rippling through the Grand Line, shaking nearby islands. Structures crumbled under the shockwaves, collapsing into rubble.
“This… this thing…” Charlotte Big Mom stared upward, her body trembling. Her expression twisted into a grotesque mask of fury as purple lightning and crimson flames roared from Napoleon, now blazing more violently than ever.
“You dare destroy my kingdom?!”
Her eyes flared pink. With a deafening roar, Conqueror’s Haki erupted alongside a sonic boom. The air itself warped under her fury, and the sky beneath the descending finger rumbled with muffled thunder. For a fleeting moment, the finger’s descent halted.
“Imperial Sword!”
Napoleon elongated further, its blade now a torrent of fire and lightning.
“Overwhelming Vigor!!!”
Charlotte Big Mom swung Napoleon, cleaving upward in a single devastating arc.
“Don’t underestimate me!!!”
Flame, lightning, slash, and Haki fused into one. The heavens turned crimson and white as light engulfed Totto Land.
Boom!!!
The slash struck the finger’s core, carving a deep, smoldering fissure. The shockwave radiated outward, reducing surrounding stone to dust. Fragments exploded from the finger’s edges, raining down as rocky debris onto the sea.
Crash!!!
The stone finger disintegrated under the relentless assault, its collapse accelerating as the blade’s energy eroded it.
“Is that… Mother?” Perospero felt the air itself tremble. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “Has she always been this strong?!”
As the eldest son, he’d never witnessed such power. The previous attack that evaporated seawater had already defied comprehension—this was beyond even that.
Katakuri’s face darkened further.
Powerful. Unfathomably so.
He’d never seen his mother unleash such raw might. This force left no room for resistance.
“Mamamama!!!”
Charlotte Big Mom’s maniacal laughter echoed through the heavens. Amidst the flames and lightning, her once-cherubic grin had twisted into a grotesque, ghoulish snarl.
This was the Four Emperors’ might.
The pinnacle of power in the world.
A single slash could erode even a comet-like force.
Under Napoleon’s blade, the finger’s descent slowed to half. Stone dust scattered like black rain across Totto Land.
“Ugh, rebuilding time,” Perospero groaned, watching the debris fall. “This stuff’s mixed with rocks. Can’t even eat it now.”
The entire territory would need reconstruction. Regret gnawed at him.
Why provoke the Navy? Without this mess, things wouldn’t have escalated. What a miscalculation!
“Mamamama!!!”
The laughter from the heavens continued.
The finger had eroded halfway, but Charlotte Big Mom’s strength waned.
Katakuri noticed. “Mother’s power is fading.”
“Mother will win,” Perospero said, slightly relieved. “No one can rival her strength. Right, Katakuri?”
“Undoubtedly,” Katakuri replied. “Mother is the strongest. That Navy brat won’t—Mother!!!”
His eyes widened in horror as he screamed skyward.
Crack!!!
As the finger crumbled, a figure emerged from its surface—Kuro, standing at the cave’s mouth. One hand gripped his sword aloft; the other smeared blood along the blade, igniting it with golden light.
He bared his teeth, snarling, “Finally seized the opportunity!”
“You!!” Charlotte Big Mom’s eyes bulged.
A sudden breeze cut through the shockwave, carrying Kuro’s form from the cave to her back.
Time seemed to freeze.
“Hmph.”
A trickle of blood escaped Kuro’s lips, but his hands moved without pause, sheathing Autumn Water in one fluid motion.
“Mystic Art: One Cut.”
Click.
The blade slid home.
Schlick!!!
A crimson geyser erupted behind him.
A gaping wound split Charlotte Big Mom’s shoulder and neck, blood gushing like a fountain.
