In One Piece, I Am the Ultimate Doflamingo

"Seeing the future? Mochi boy, you're terrifying. Yasakani no Magatama!"

Borsalino's attack missed, but without hesitation, he unleashed a barrage of light bullets, completely covering Katakuri's position.

No room to dodge—what use is foresight when there's nowhere to move?

"BOOM!!!"

Smoke billowed into the air.

"Candy Maiden!"

"Ripple... Pretzel!"

A massive sword energy shockwave struck from opposite sides, closing in on Borsalino.

"Too~ slow~!"

Borsalino dissolved into photons, his leisurely drawl only adding to the frustration of his enemies.

"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!"

A gigantic slash of sword energy sent Sakazuki flying into the distance.

"Mama Raid!"

Napoleon crackled with electricity, while Prometheus carried Big Mom forward like a living bolt of lightning, forcing Borsalino to retreat from his planned assault.

"BOOM!"

Borsalino grabbed the weakened Onigumo and retreated toward Sakazuki's position—there was no way he was facing Big Mom head-on.

"Retreat, men! Return to the ship!"

"No, you stay here and die, Charlotte Linlin!"

A massive golden shockwave surged from afar.

The ocean it crossed looked as though a child had scraped an eraser over a drawing—leaving behind deep scars that refused to heal.

"Bright Cannon!!!"

One blue-white, one golden—two beams of energy clashed violently.

"BOOM!"

Though it was twilight, the scattered energy illuminated the battlefield as if it were midday.

A golden Buddha loomed on the coastline.

Sakazuki and Borsalino, both covered in blood, stood at its base like guardian deities of an ancient temple, ready to subdue the demon before them.

They stared down the Big Mom Pirates, eyes filled with murderous intent.

In an instant, the tide of battle had shifted.

"Ma-ma-ma-ma! Sengoku, you old fossil, when did you get the guts to step foot into the New World?"

A terrifying force erupted from Big Mom's massive frame, surging outward in waves. Even the singing ship, Numancia Flamingo, beneath her, seemed to tremble under the pressure, its crew beginning to lose consciousness.

"The New World is also the World Government's domain."

In response to her overwhelming presence, Sengoku's Conqueror's Haki erupted as well—this was the might of a ruler, a force representing the World Government's supremacy.

"BOOM!"

The sky cracked apart.

Big Mom hefted her three-bladed Bright Light Sword and cast a glance at her three sons standing behind her.

"Things are really getting dangerous now."

The accumulated souls from her Soul-Soul Fruit surged into the sword's tip under her command.

A titanic, energy-formed version of Big Mom materialized before them.

With no physical weight to slow it down, the energy Big Mom traversed the battlefield at blinding speed, appearing before Sengoku in an instant.

A dazzling golden light radiated from Sengoku's body, as immovable as an enlightened Buddha.

Determined to subdue the demon, he charged forward.

"BOOM!"

The blue-white energy scattered, sending the energy Big Mom flying backward like a shooting star.

Standing unmoved like the indomitable Buddhist deity, Sengoku remained unscathed.

Big Mom followed up, her Bright Light Sword brimming with power—black and red lightning coiled around it.

"Ma-ma-ma-ma! Sengoku, die!!!"

A purple Conqueror's Haki-infused slash tore through the air toward Sengoku.

"Buddha Strike!!!"

Sengoku's Haki-infused shockwave turned dark and ominous, radiating lethal intent.

"BOOM!!!"

The explosion of force was deafening, so much so that Katakuri and the others watching from the sidelines were momentarily deafened.

After a brief deadlock, Sengoku's Haki-infused attack overwhelmed Big Mom's slash, crashing into her chin before she could react.

"PUH!!!"

Half of Big Mom's teeth went flying as her massive body was lifted off the ground.

The surrounding beach detonated like a minefield, sand and debris soaring into the air.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Explosions filled Big Mom's ears.

It was Soru—the Navy's high-speed movement technique.

In the brief moment she was airborne, Sengoku's iron fists, reinforced with Haki, struck again and again, launching shockwave after shockwave.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The continuous barrage of strikes shook the heavens.

The energy Big Mom reverted into cannon form and fired at Sengoku, buying its master precious seconds.

"BOOM!"

Sengoku quickly retreated, breathing heavily.

"What a monster…"

Big Mom reappeared, her form emerging from the haze.

Despite taking such a relentless beating, her iron-balloon physique remained mostly intact, save for bruises and the blood at the corner of her mouth—evidence that she was far from unscathed.

"Admiral Sengoku, we're here!"

Garp, Doberman arrived at last, their presence bringing new energy to the battlefield.

"Sakazuki, Borsalino—take down the Charlotte Family."

Garp, Doberman, Sakazuki, and Borsalino advanced, encircling Katakuri and his two siblings.

Katakuri, Oven, and Cracker stood back to back, their mochi, candy, and biscuit defenses forming an impenetrable barricade around them.

"Is this the end, Sengoku? Just like Roger, your era is over!!!"

Big Mom's eyes flashed red—if she had to fall, she wouldn't go down quietly. She might survive, but her children... they were doomed.

"Bright Cannon!!!"

"Wororororo! What a lively scene!"

A sudden, booming laugh drew everyone's eyes skyward.

Emerging from the clouds, his face flushed from drink, was the world's strongest creature.

Kaido!!!

Charlotte Linlin had never found Kaido's voice more comforting than in this moment.

Before Sengoku and the others could react to this turn of events, Kaido's dragon form ignited with flames, his massive head resembling a burning torch.

"I might as well join in!!!"

A flame-wreathed dragon head, infused with Conqueror's Haki, plummeted from the sky like a meteor, like a divine weapon, like an impending apocalypse.

It smashed into the battlefield.

Most of the weaker soldiers were annihilated instantly.

Sengoku leaped into the air, wielding the ultimate mastery of Haki.

His Conqueror's Haki condensed into his hands, tangible and deadly.

"Buddha's Divine Retribution!!!"

A dark-gold shockwave surged toward the incoming fire dragon.

"BOOM!!!!"

The cataclysmic explosion stripped layers off the earth itself.

The shockwave blasted away the remaining soldiers and homies alike.

An infinite radiance—like a second sun in the night sky.

"Ugh, what a headache..."

At the crater's center, Kaido rubbed the horns on his head, wincing from the impact.

"Ma-ma-ma-ma! Kaido, you showed up just in time!"

Big Mom grinned at Kaido, then turned her gaze toward the golden Buddha silhouette in the smoke.

"Sengoku... now it's two against one."
