As Charlotte Snack fell, Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and Baron Tamago, who were standing by, finally came back to their senses.

“YOU KILLED SNACK!”

Katakuri stared at Shin angrily, his body exuding killing intent.

Snack was his younger brother. He cared deeply for his family. Seeing his younger brother killed in front of him, Katakuri couldn’t control his rage.

His arm stretched towards Shin, his right hand turning into mochi, able to extend very far.

Katakuri was a Mochi-Mochi Fruit user.

The Mochi-Mochi Fruit wasn’t especially powerful on its own—it all depended on who wielded it. And while Katakuri was still young, his mastery over the fruit was already impressive.

“I don’t have time to waste on small fry,” Shin said calmly.

“<Myriad Thunder!>”

Thunderclouds churned in the sky, and countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky. Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and Baron Tamago all fell to the ground, black smoke rising from their bodies.

And the castle not far away was also torn apart by the furious thunder.

Big Mom inside was buried.

Katakuri and the others weren’t dead, but they had fainted.

————

“WHO IS IT??”

A voice filled with unparalleled anger, the earth was torn apart. Big Mom’s massive body crawled out from the ruins.

This height was really tall, much taller than Whitebeard. But this appearance… it was really hard to describe.

Shin found the idea that Big Mom had ever been a beauty completely absurd. With how she looked now, there was just no way…

If she had been beautiful once, the gap would’ve been so extreme it’d defy explanation.

“Was it you who disturbed my sleep?” Big Mom stared at Shin, her gaze extremely ferocious.

Her mouth opened, and saliva flowed out. The flowing saliva was like sulfuric acid, capable of corroding the ground.

“…” Shin looked at Big Mom. He felt this woman wanted to eat people.

Big Mom suffered from a food craving illness—which would act up from time to time. And after it acted up, she would enter a state of madness.

In that state, she wouldn’t recognize anyone.

Usually, after waking up, her food craving illness would act up. At this time, Big Mom was the most dangerous. Even her own children didn’t want to get close. Because Big Mom didn’t care if they were her own children—she only cared about filling her stomach.

Big Mom instantly rushed towards Shin, her giant hands grabbing towards him.

Shin clenched his fist—a white halo appearing on his fist. The surrounding air vibrated, and even space was torn apart.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!”

With a single punch, Big Mom was sent flying. Though her body was powerful, it didn’t mean her internal organs were equally strong.

Big Mom’s seven orifices bled, looking very miserable.

————

“What a Vigorous Vitality…”

Shin could sense that Big Mom hadn’t died. The punch he had thrown with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit hadn’t killed her.

“Has she not created Homies yet??”

He looked around Big Mom, but there were no such creatures as Homies.

Homies were created by Big Mom using the Soul-Soul Fruit. She would inject souls into objects and animals, obtaining subordinates with human thought and power. These things were also called Homies.

The Highest-level Homies were the sun Prometheus—the bicorne hat Napoleon—and the thundercloud Zeus.

But now, they hadn’t appeared beside Big Mom. It was unknown if they hadn’t been created yet.

“Stop playing dead. Get up. I know you’re fine.” Shin stretched his hands and feet.

Big Mom wasn’t playing dead—she was stunned. That hit just now… it was the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

It was impossible—only one Devil Fruit of a kind could exist in the world. And yet, somehow, someone had shattered that rule.

There was no mistaking it. That power was identical to Whitebeard’s. Big Mom had fought him before—she knew exactly what it felt like.

WHOOSH!!!

The aura of Conqueror’s Haki swept over. Big Mom activated the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, wanting to extract Shin’s soul.

The Soul-Soul Fruit could extract souls, extract lifespan, and even grant souls to other objects. Among all Devil Fruits, the Soul-Soul Fruit should also be considered a relatively powerful one.

————

“Your Conqueror’s Haki… can’t affect me.” Shin yawned and said to Big Mom.

Big Mom’s expression was one of horror. The madness from her food craving had been completely cleared.

“I think we can talk things out. There’s no need to fight and kill.” A chair appeared behind Shin, and he sat down casually.

Big Mom, having calmed down, didn’t madly attack Shin anymore.

“So it’s you, Shin Uzumaki.” Big Mom also knew Shin’s name. After all, Shin’s name had spread too widely—there were very few who didn’t know it.

Before, due to a few years of dormancy, Shin’s fame had slightly decreased. But now, Shin was famous again.

Capturing one of the three Admirals—Akainu—forced every pirate in the New World to take a fresh look at Shin.

Some even began to believe he was on par with the Whitebeard Pirates… and that he might soon rise as the next Emperor of the Sea.

But not everyone agreed. While Shin Uzumaki’s individual strength was undeniable, many believed the overall power of the Kuja Pirates still fell short compared to other major crews.

Becoming an Emperor of the Sea wasn’t just about raw strength—your influence had to be just as overwhelming.

————

“I didn’t expect you to know me.”

Shin said with a smile. He really was making a name for himself. At this rate, becoming one of the Emperors of the Sea didn’t seem so far off.

“Do you want to go to war with me?” Big Mom asked Shin.

“Yes, you can think of it that way.” Shin nodded. He came to find Big Mom to cause trouble, to make a name for himself.

So in the end, Big Mom was just a stepping stone—handpicked by Shin to sharpen his blade.

“DIE!”

Big Mom was very irritable.

Her fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, struck towards Shin.

————

“The world is such a beautiful place… and yet you’re so violent. That’s a shame.”

Shin made no move.

Countless trees rose from the ground, blocking Big Mom’s attack.

They twisted and coiled around her body—Even if broken, they regenerated almost instantly.

So Big Mom fought a battle of wits and courage with the trees created by Shin’s Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence—while Shin sat on the side and watched the show.

Big Mom’s destructive power was not small, but the trees’ regeneration was faster. Often, Big Mom would destroy half a forest with one punch, and in the blink of an eye, it could regenerate again.

“Are you done with your useless attacks?” Shin said calmly.

Under Shin’s control, some trees pierced into Big Mom’s body. If this continued, Shin could kill Big Mom with Wood Release alone.

The Wood Release displayed by Shin with his current strength… the toughness of the trees and the sharpness of the branches had reached an unimaginable level.

Even Big Mom’s defense could be broken.
