One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 174 Combined Attack! The Death of BIGMOM?

no doubt.

What is happening on the live stream screen right now is something that no one in the entire Totland could have predicted.

The live stream showed an elderly woman who was no longer conscious, only uttering meaningless, strange roars, and a figure appearing in front of her.

Everything was completely beyond the imagination of the people of Totto Land and the Charlotte family executives.

"The face of a sea monster!?"

At that moment, exclamations of surprise echoed across the various islands of Totland.

With the names of the twelve constellations now resounding throughout the seas, the meaning of the sea monster's head is certainly understood by everyone.

"Is he a high-ranking official from one of the twelve zodiac signs?"

"The first sea monster I've never seen before isn't one of the bounty hunters—it's a new officer!?"

"A dog-head mask? Is he the 'Dog'?"

Today, the naming rules of the twelve constellations are no secret on the high seas, so many people can already guess the identity and code name of the Dog.

But the key lies in the statement made by the Dog at this moment.

Declare war.

Without waiting for BIGMOM—the Twelve Constellations—they had already taken the initiative to formally declare war on this sea emperor and launched an attack!
"How did they infiltrate Whole Cake Island? What happened to Owen and Cracker?"

At this moment, on Chocolate Island, Smoothie clearly had countless questions in her mind.

"How did they know about Mom's weakness!?"

She gritted her teeth.

Yes—weakness.

That's something only the Big Mom Pirates and the senior members of the Charlotte Family know.

Most of the time, the old woman's physique is like an "iron balloon," possessing a powerful defensive capability and vitality that far surpasses normal Armament Haki.

She hadn't been injured for many years.

But there is only one situation in which she will lose the 'steel balloon'.

That is when she loses her composure and her consciousness is in chaos—at this time, she will make strange noises and unleash terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

However, at the same time, her body will become extremely vulnerable.

The easiest way to provoke her into this extreme state was through a photograph of Sister Carmel.

But this matter was originally a secret, and even members of the Charlotte family didn't know about it. So how did the Twelve Constellations know about it?
"."

At this moment, Perospero looked grim and did not reply.

As the eldest son of the Charlotte family, and the strategist of the Big Mom Pirates, known for their 'strategies' and 'schemes'.

At that moment, he had already vaguely guessed the chilling truth in his heart.

From Cracker's injury and weakened abilities a few months ago, to his recent initiative to name several people as his 'guards' to defend Whole Cake Island, the facts revealed by all of this are quite clear.

"They've been preparing for this for a long time, not just a day or two."

The mere thought of this possibility nearly made Perospero's long tongue twitch.

"We need to go help Mom right away and feed Katakuri."

He was about to turn around and call out to Katakuri.

But when he turned around, he saw that Katakuri, who was rushing towards the 'Mirror Passage', had stopped.

“It’s too late.”

At this moment, Katakuri's usually cold and calm expression was now filled with unprecedented horror and visible panic.

"More than one."

"Mom. Mom, she..."

The emotions in his words contained a clear sense of complexity and shock.

He saw it once again, that amazing 'future'.

Meanwhile, at the top of the cake castle.

"Gentlemen, prepare to make your move."

The dog's gaze fell on the old woman not far away.

As she emitted the strange noise, her intense Conqueror's Haki directly affected the physical world, causing the surrounding earth to crack almost completely and everything to crumble.

Yes.

In the original story, the contemporary Nika collaborated with others to trigger the "strange noise" state of Sister Carmel by destroying a photo of her, in order to assassinate her.

But in the end, it was because of the old lady's terrifying Conqueror's Haki that they failed—the 'weapon' originally intended to kill her was shattered.

However, this clearly does not mean that Luffy and his crew's plan at the time was flawed.

Quite the opposite, even.

In Roy's view, the plan was almost perfect in terms of both its completeness and feasibility.

There is only one reason for the failure.

That's because Luffy and his crew were simply too weak back then.

But this time the situation is different from the original story.

This time, BIGMOM's enemy is the 'Twelve Constellations'!
"Let this sea tremble."

As the Dog's words fell.

"Buzz!"

The eight clones that were originally standing on the cake castle suddenly moved at this moment. They first swallowed their own shadows without hesitation, and then merged with the dog.

【Shadow Gathering Place - Ninefold Devouring】

【Random-Random Fruit - Giant Warrior Fusion】

And finally.
[Real Mirage - Locus]

Without hesitation, he transformed into the appearance of Rocks.

The power belonging to that former overlord was bestowed upon him—although it did not include Devil Fruit abilities or Haki, its terrifying aura still pierced through the clouds in an instant.

And this is just the beginning.

Because of the next moment.
"Buzz!"

A dazzling radiance shone down from the pierced clouds.

From within that radiance, a robust figure covered in crimson-gold scales, blazing with golden light, and bearing wings on its back, slowly emerged from the radiance.

That is
The zodiac sign is Rooster (酉).

At this moment, the posture he is in is clearly the strongest form he displayed in the Sabaody Archipelago.

[Winged Rathalos Form]

And then the next moment.
"laugh!"

Suddenly, the space above the old woman's head cracked open.

"boom!"

A massive slash appeared out of thin air.

And from the source of that slash, the figure wearing gloves and a rat-face mask stood with his hands behind his back.

The twelve zodiac signs, the Rat (子鼠).

At this moment, the figure of the Rat had become extremely large, like a giant.

The slash he unleashed with a wave of his hand visibly slicing and distorting the very space it passed through.

"Thirty-three!"

"The rat didn't die!? What happened?"

"Rat, Rooster, Dog—these are three top executives of the twelve zodiac signs!? They've all appeared on Whole Cake Island at the same time!"

"Is their target really Mom?"

At that moment, people watching the live stream on various islands of Totland almost simultaneously gasped in surprise.

They weren't very familiar with the Dog (戌狗).

But whether it's the Rat or the Rooster, both are names that resonate throughout the seas today.

Of course, that's not the most crucial point.

The most crucial point is the fact revealed by the appearance of these three people at this moment.

That indicates that the purpose of the twelve zodiac signs appearing here is not simply 'threat', 'revenge', or 'ulterior motives'.

From the very beginning, their goal was to kill the 'Sea Emperor'.

And that is indeed the case.
"Mirage - Curse of the Abyss!"

"Wing Shenlong Strike·Sunshine Fist!"

"Air Slash - Ultimate Technique - World Severing!"

Without any hesitation, the three of them unleashed their strongest attacks from three different directions towards the woman who was screaming.

Incidentally, the three Homies who were supposed to protect the old lady were also unable to move because of the 'strange noise'.

"boom!"

The black slash of the Dog seemed to darken even the sky above Whole Cake Island at that moment.

"Buzz!"

But even in that dim light, the rooster's dazzling radiance, like the sun, seemed capable of illuminating even the darkness.

"laugh!"

In the end, the Rat's slash, which cuts through everything, even swallows and cleaves through the night and the day.

For a moment—the entire Cake Island seemed to begin alternating between night and day.

Under the aftershocks of that terrifying power, the castle that had stood on Whole Cake Island for many years, symbolizing Big Mom herself, began to collapse in an instant.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A deafening roar followed, and three attacks hurtled towards the old woman.

It is only natural that even Big Mom's intense Conqueror's Haki could not erase or resist an attack of this level.

"laugh!"

The next moment, the dog's slash severed the old woman's head!
"boom!"

Immediately following, the Rooster's fist pierced through the old woman's heart!

"Crack!"

Finally, the Rat's spatial slash cleaved the old woman's body in two right there in the middle!
After losing the 'steel balloon', her body was clearly no harder than a piece of paper.

And then the next moment.
"boom!"

The Emperor of the Sea's corpse crashed to the ground.

At this moment, the entire Totland was completely silent!
