Chapter 376: The Advance of the Wings!

Facing the overwhelming number of the Totto Land Pirates army surging in like a tide, the Straw Hat's once-solid defense line faced unprecedented pressure.

Cannon fire, mixed with the army of living Homies, came down like a deluge; ordinary firepower and interception could no longer stop the frantic advance of the Four Emperors' elite.

Zoro and Sanji did not choose to remain on the deck of the Thousand Sunny for passive defense.

The two main combatants exchanged a glance amidst the cannon fire; no words were needed, as they understood each other perfectly.

Seeing the aggressive enemy commanders ahead, they decided to turn passive into active, diving straight into the enemy formation to alleviate the pressure on the main ship.

Zoro clamped Wado Ichimonji firmly in his mouth, gripping yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu tightly in his hands.

His gaze instantly pierced through the heavy fog and cannon fire, precisely locking onto the massive warship where the Longleg Tribe sweet commander, Charlotte Smoothie, was located.

"Leave it to me."

Zoro snorted coldly, his legs erupting with force as he launched himself like an arrow from a bowstring.

He stepped on the wreckage of ships floating on the sea, leaping repeatedly across the turbulent waves.

Facing the Homies and Totto Land soldiers attempting to block his path, Zoro swung his arms, and several fierce, peerless green dragon sword beams whistled out.

The sharp sword aura instantly cleared the enemies blocking the way, forcibly tearing a path through the enemy formation.

With a dull thud upon landing, Zoro landed steadily on Charlotte Smoothie's deck, his cold blade pointing directly at the dessert sweet commander with a bounty of nearly one billion.

On the other side, Sanji was not idle either.

His legs rubbed violently against the air, transforming him into a red afterimage burning with intense flames, charging straight at the main ship where the Biscuit Knight Charlotte Cracker was located.

He used Moonwalk continuously in the air, nimbly dodging the dense anti-aircraft fire.

Just as he flew over the enemy ship, the flames on Sanji's right leg surged violently, and a kick carrying terrifyingly high temperatures—Ifrit Jambe—descended like a burning meteorite, carrying destructive power as it smashed directly onto the bow of Charlotte Cracker's ship.

With a loud "Boom," those biscuit soldiers guarding the bow, originally as hard as iron, were instantly smashed to pieces under this violent kick.

The high heat spread, igniting a raging fire on the wide deck, forcing the surrounding enemies to retreat repeatedly.

Zoro and Sanji issued a declaration full of fighting spirit to the Four Emperors' sweet commanders before them:

"Your opponents are us!"

High in the air, the battle had also reached a fever pitch.

Luffy, in "Gear 4: Boundman" form, was engaged in a high-intensity, fierce exchange of blows with the rampaging Charlotte Linlin.

"Gomu Gomu no: Kong Gun!"

Luffy's massive fist, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, collided again and again with "Napoleon" in Big Mom's hand.

Dark red Conqueror's Haki lightning intertwined crazily at the center of their clash, raging in all directions.

The deafening roar made the sea below tremble.

For a moment, the two were evenly matched, neither able to completely suppress the other in terms of power.

However, the wisps of white smoke constantly rising from Luffy's body indicated that the Haki within him was being consumed at a rapid rate.

This high-intensity standoff was destined to be unsustainable.

On the sea, the eldest son, Perospero, stood at the bow of a candy ship.

He waved his cane, leading the remaining Charlotte Family children, attempting to suppress the isolated Thousand Sunny on the sea with a sky-filling rain of candy arrows and various strange special abilities.

On the Thousand Sunny, the remaining members were trying their best to protect their home.

Robin looked focused, her hands crossed in front of her chest, using the power of the Hana Hana no Mi to sprout giant arms on both sides of the ship.

Those thick arms caught the incoming heavy cannonballs steadily, then threw them back along the same path, triggering bursts of explosions.

Usopp stood on the watchtower, sweating profusely, waving his giant slingshot continuously, firing strange plant bombs at the enemy ships.

Franky opened his chest, and with a roar, the cannons on his shoulders thundered incessantly, using a violent net of firepower to intercept the enemy's advance.

Just amidst this intense melee, Nami, standing in the center of the deck, suddenly noticed something amiss.

The little thundercloud "Futo," who had always been obediently by her side and responsible for assisting her with lightning attacks, had disappeared without a trace.

Nami looked up and discovered that this little guy had silently floated high into the sky.

It turned out that during the previous earth-shattering Emperor-level collisions on the sea, the massive energy remnants scattered in the air of the battlefield had become the most delicious supplement for this special creation made by Yin-Yang Release.

Futo, like a bottomless pit, was greedily devouring these ownerless energies drifting on the battlefield.

As the devouring continued, its volume began to grow crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few short minutes, the originally fist-sized, cute-looking cat-eared thundercloud had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.

It expanded rapidly, eventually turning into a giant dark purple thunderstorm cloud that almost covered most of the Totto Land fleet!

Violent purple currents rolled crazily within the thick cloud layer, as if countless purple thunder dragons were shuttling through it.

Accompanied by bursts of heart-palpitating dull roars, it seemed as if the entire sky was trembling under this pressure.

Nami looked up, watching this incredible miracle of lightning above her head, and a look of unconcealable surprise burst into her eyes.

She knew that the moment to turn the tide of battle had arrived.

She raised her Weather Stick high, the strong wind blowing through her orange hair.

At this moment, she was like a queen controlling the lightning of the world, shouting at the sky:

"Well done!"

"Futo, shock them for me!"

High in the air, Big Mom, who was wielding her giant sword and fighting Luffy, also keenly sensed the changes occurring in the battlefield below.

She looked down and saw the giant thundercloud floating above the fleet at a glance.

With her battle-hardened intuition, Big Mom sensed the terrifying destructive energy hidden within that purple cloud.

This energy was so immense that it even made her feel a trace of unease.

She knew very well that once this unknown lightning attack fell as expected, her proud main fleet, loaded with Totto Land elites, would inevitably suffer immeasurable and heavy losses.

To preserve her fleet, Big Mom made a decisive decision and immediately stopped her pursuit of Luffy.

She turned around and shouted an order to the thundercloud Zeus, who had been carrying her under her feet:

"Zeus! Go stop that strange cloud!"

"Use your power and eat up all its lightning for me!"

"Yes, Mama!" The thundercloud Zeus replied, a greedy expression appearing on its cloud body.

Luffy, seeing this, immediately realized Big Mom's intention.

He shouted: "Don't you dare!" His legs compressed violently, ready to rush up and intercept Zeus's action.

However, Big Mom would not give him this chance.

She backhanded a heavy slash wrapped in violent Conqueror's Haki Haki.

That pitch-black sword beam was like an insurmountable wall, forcibly pushing Luffy back dozens of meters, giving him no chance to make a move.

Taking advantage of this gap, the thundercloud Zeus, with a grimace, left from under Big Mom's feet.

It turned into an incomparably swift yellow lightning bolt in mid-air, opened its big mouth, and lunged straight at Futo below, attempting to claim this delicious lightning as its own.

Just as Zeus was within inches of Futo, the turbulent sea below suddenly exploded with a huge water column with a "Boom."

A slender figure broke out of the water, wrapped in sky-filling water splashes; it was Tatsuya, who had previously been knocked into the sea by Big Mom.

He hovered in mid-air, unscathed.

He extended one hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed precisely at the thundercloud Zeus, which was speeding through the sky.

Then, he made a fierce grasp in the void.

"Almighty Push!"

Accompanied by a low, cold shout, the surrounding space seemed to distort in an instant.

A terrifying, irresistible gravitational force was generated out of thin air.

Zeus's massive cloud body paused violently in mid-air, as if tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand.

"Ah—!"

The thundercloud Zeus let out a painful and shrill scream.

It struggled desperately, its cloud body even distorted by the gravitational pull, but it could not break free from the shackles of this gravitational force no matter what.

It could only watch helplessly as it was trapped in place, unable to advance a single inch.

With no interference or obstruction from any enemy, the giantized "Futo" in the sky finally finished charging its power.

In the thick, dark purple cloud layer, the looming cat ears flickered with purple light that was blinding to the extreme.

Accompanied by the frantic surging of thunder, Futo let out a crisp, loud noise that pierced through the clouds:

"Meow—!"

The next second, the world suddenly changed color.

A dark purple destructive thunder pillar, thicker than a massive warship, carrying the might of divine punishment as if to punish all things in the world, crashed down!

This thunder pillar struck precisely at the very center of the Big Mom Pirates fleet!

The entire sea was completely submerged in an instant by the purple light that was too blinding to look at directly and the sky-high water columns raised by the explosion.
