: The Battle Begins with the Big Mom Pirates

Chapter 97: The Battle Begins with the Big Mom Pirates

Tomorrow is the tea party, and tonight's actions are crucial. The Charlotte family has made thorough arrangements.

First, she separated the group, and then defeated them one by one. The first one was Kaido, the most troublesome guy. Big Mom decided to take action herself and keep Kaido calm first.

The rest of the people are to be dealt with by the children. The most important thing is to control that kid who has the power of curses.

The plan to deal with this kid is of paramount importance. There can be no room for error or mishap.

"Linlin wants to catch up with me, no problem, I'll go and have a chat with her." Kaido grinned and said.

He wasn't worried about Rhodes' safety at all if they were separated, since Whitebeard was always by his side.

If the old woman were to confront him alone and start a fight, he would easily defeat her with his current strength.

"A room has been arranged for everyone, please follow me!" Katakuri said.

Following the old woman's children, Rhodes and the others were soon taken to a white castle.

Kaido himself was taken to another room to meet Big Mom in person.

"Mr. Rhodes, you are my mother's honored guest, please stay here!" Katakuri said.

"The three of us will share a room. Whitebeard will be standing at my door. Alright, when Boss Kaido returns, you can prepare a separate room for him," Rhodes said.

"How can this be? You are all my mother's honored guests, and each of you has been arranged a luxurious room. Besides, Mr. Whitebeard was once one of the Four Emperors," Katakuri said.

Whitebeard's current state is very strange. When Katakuri stands next to him, he feels a sense of unease and trepidation.

We need to deal with this old guy quickly. All Devil Fruit users are most afraid of seawater and Seastone. As long as they are drenched by a large amount of seawater or locked by Seastone, their abilities should be rendered ineffective.

This was their solution to deal with Whitebeard, whose fighting prowess was indeed formidable.

Even if all his younger siblings and he joined forces, they wouldn't be enough to defeat this old man.

Therefore, the best method is to outsmart him and lure Whitebeard to a special room where a trap has been set up beforehand. As soon as Whitebeard enters, it will be triggered, and he will be completely submerged in seawater.

Next up is this kid named Rod; knock him unconscious as quickly as possible.

After a Devil Fruit user falls into a coma, their abilities will be affected unless they are in an awakened state. Some transformations will also become ineffective.

"Is that so? What if I insist on doing it this way?" Rhodes said with a smile.

Seriously, we've only just arrived on Whole Cake Island, we haven't even had a proper meal yet, and we're already starting a fight? Your intentions are way too obvious!

Basically, all the older women's daughters with strong fighting abilities, the ministers directly under the various islands, and the sweetheart generals were standing by his side, all with solemn expressions.

I thought the older woman could hold out for one more night and make her move at the tea party tomorrow!

First, she tricked Kaido by pretending to reminisce. Big Mom was planning to hold Kaido off by herself and then have her children deal with her.

Where do these guys get their confidence to deal with Whitebeard, or do they think they've got me cornered?

"Mr. Rhodes, in the entire Kingdom of Twilight, no one can defy Mother's orders, so I urge you to reconsider and heed our advice," said Charlotte Cracker, another dessert general, as she approached Rhodes.

"Not bad, not bad! It seems you've made quite a few preparations to deal with me! All three of the Sweet Commanders have gathered for this dessert." Rhodes shrugged helplessly and said.

"You bastard, what do you mean by that? We are the Four Sweethearts, you little brat!" a man next to him said with great dissatisfaction.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I misremembered. You haven't been defeated yet," Rhodes said, making an apologetic gesture.

"Hmph! You bastard! You're despicable!"

Just as the group was talking, a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from behind the mirror behind the white-bearded man, grabbed him, and locked him in a sea stone chain.

"Hehe! Hoho! Got it, brother." A woman who looked like a witch popped out of the mirror and said with a grin.

"Your name is Rod, right? Your mother values ​​your abilities highly. You can control the corpses of Yonko-level beings, and your abilities will be very useful to him. So if you don't want to get hurt, you'd better do as I say," Katakuri said.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly. They had two preparations for Whitebeard, one of which was to lure him into a specific room and then prepare a large amount of seawater to trap him.

Of course, if this plan didn't work, they had another one. Several large mirrors were placed in front of Rhodes' door in the room.

These mirrors were meant to deal with Whitebeard. His sister, Brulee, had already hidden inside one of the mirrors and used a seastone chain to successfully restrain Whitebeard.

Even the incredibly powerful Whitebeard must adhere to one ironclad principle: he is a Devil Fruit user. Once chained with Seastone chains, he is essentially rendered powerless.

Whitebeard is a user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and the reason he was able to revive is because of this kid's ability. Either way, they can subdue him.

After all, they were dealing with two Yonko-level beings, and Mom didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so she chose to launch a surprise attack as soon as the enemy arrived.

"Stop wasting time talking to him, Katakuri-nii-san, let's finish him off quickly and then go help Mom!" A stylish woman with burgundy hair said.

"Hmph! What makes you so confident that you can control us? What makes you think that the Seastone chains can restrain Whitebeard?" Rhodes sneered.

Katakuri suddenly widened his eyes, as if sensing something. He abruptly pulled his younger siblings backward.

"Everyone run! Don't look back!" Katakuri, his head covered in sweat, turned and said.

He saw a terrifying vision of the future.

"Let me tell you something. It's true that those with abilities are afraid of seawater and can be countered by it, but there's something you probably don't know. The dead are not afraid; they have no life force left."

The sea will no longer despise them, for once they fall into the sea, they are no different from a plank of wood or a pumice stone. Similarly, seastone has no effect on Whitebeard. "Rhodes said.

Even for himself and Kaido, after training in the power of the world of Azeroth, the weaknesses of their Devil Fruits changed slightly.

At least the seas of Azeroth are ineffective against Devil Fruit users, as Rhodes has already demonstrated. Furthermore, after learning rage and accepting the power of fel energy, Kaido has also developed a certain resistance to seawater.

The same applies to Rhodes. While he cannot be said to be completely immune to the effects of the seawater in the pirate world, he is not like other ability users who would completely lose their fighting power.

After being transformed into a Death Knight, Whitebeard was completely dead.

The powerful death energy within him would make the sea think of him as a dead man, and the dead are not hated by the sea.

At that moment, the chains that had been binding Whitebeard began to freeze and then shatter on the ground, while Whitebeard himself drew his rune greatsword.

"What, what's going on? Didn't you revive this guy using your Devil Fruit ability? Why isn't it working? Seastone should be able to suppress Devil Fruit abilities." He said.

"Who told you this is a Devil Fruit ability? Whitebeard, knock them all out first, don't kill them yet," Rhodes said.

The white-bearded man nodded, and his body erupted with a burst of blood-red energy, transforming into countless invisible hands that reached out to grab the old woman's children.

The Blood Death Knight's skill, Blood Grip, pulls all enemies within a certain distance towards the user, forcing them to attack.

This move is similar to Death Grip, except that Death Grip only works on a single target and is a skill mastered by all Death Knight talents, while Blood Grip is a skill unique to Blood Death Knights.

As a signature tank, the Blood Death Knight has many giant monsters and the ability to taunt and aggro monsters.

"Damn it! Why? Why are we being forced to attack this guy?" Charlotte Linlin's children shouted.

"Because he is the main tank, and there is a strict rule when raiding: you must attack the tank first."

"Curse of Pain, Curse of Weakness, Haunted, Weak and Powerless, Sacrifice." As Rhode spoke, he unleashed a series of warlock spells.

At the same time, Sylvanas took out her bow and arrows, imbued them with the power of ice, and shot them at Charlotte's children.

On the other side, Yamato was much more violent, swinging his spiked club and hitting people one by one.

As for the strongest Sweet Commanders, they were surrounded by Whitebeard alone.

On the other side of Whole Cake Island, in Big Mom's palace, Charlotte Linlin also took out her Emperor Sword Napoleon, along with Zeus the Thundercloud and Prometheus the Fireball.

"Hmph! You little brat, do you really think you're so great? Do you think your body is stronger than mine, or your aura is stronger?"

"I'll teach you, Linlin. You know nothing about anger or fel energy," Kaido said with a sneer.
