Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Most of the officers of the "BIG MOM Pirates" present were physically powerful individuals, so although the aftershocks and hurricanes generated by the massive explosion that detonated in mid-air instantly wiped out countless weak Homies, they were not fatal to the officers of the "BIG MOM Pirates".

This... is already a pretty good ending.

After all, based on Charlotte Katakuri's Observation Haki-foreseen future, if that golden streak of light were to fall onto the wedding plaza, probably not many of the "BIG MOM Pirates" executives present would survive unharmed.

"What...what exactly is that?!"

Charlotte Katakuri recalled the strange shape of the golden stinger in his mind, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

That thing... was definitely not natural or accidental, but a man-made attack.

Devil Fruit powers?!

Charlotte Katakuri's Observation Haki failed to detect the attacker's presence at all. Otherwise, he should have been able to sense it when the attacker made his move, instead of only reacting when the terrifying golden light got close enough.

However, before Charlotte Katakuri could continue her analysis, a sound that sent shivers down one's spine echoed through the shattered wedding plaza.

"My wedding..."

"A cake, a carefully prepared cake..."

"Who?! Who?! Who ruined my wedding and the cake?!"

……

As this series of sounds rang out, the aloof and cold Charlotte Katakuri's expression shifted slightly, and he muttered, "Oh no, it's Mom's food craving!!!"

As Charlotte Katakuri's voice faded, a series of booming sounds followed.

Charlotte Linlin, now known as one of the "Four Emperors" alongside "Red-Haired" Shanks, "Whitebeard" Newgate Edward, and "The Most Dangerous Man" Dragon, has gone berserk!

With bloodshot eyes and saliva and stomach acid overflowing from her mouth in a frenzy, Charlotte Linlin was destroying everything around her like a madwoman. A chilling pressure enveloped the entire wedding square.

"It's over!"

Not only Charlotte Katakuri, but all the other members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" turned pale upon seeing this scene.

The inexplicable explosion was one thing, but the real trouble was Charlotte Linlin's food cravings...

Even now, the members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" still remember the terror of Charlotte Linlin's last attack of her food cravings.

And now, that terror has returned!

In this state, Charlotte Linlin will descend into utter rage, instinctively destroying everything around her until she tastes a specific food.

While instinctively distancing themselves from Charlotte Linlin, the numerous members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" quickly began to discuss their options.

"What is it this time?!"

"The cake, it must be a wedding cake!"

"Quickly, tell the head chef to make a second wedding cake immediately..."

"It's too late. This wedding was held in a hurry, and some of the materials for the two wedding cakes that were originally prepared have not yet returned to the World Ocean."

"Hurry up and urge them on. Also, have the head chef think of any alternative ingredients. We need to be quick, otherwise it might not just be the entire Whole Cake Island, but the entire World of Oceans could be destroyed by Mom herself..."

"Get out of the way! Mom is behind you!"

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the wedding plaza, which was already mostly destroyed, descended into complete chaos.

While some of the powerful "BIG MOM Pirates" officers tried to stop or guide Charlotte Linlin to a relatively remote area of ​​Whole Cake Island, another group of officers quickly began evacuating the crowd.

However, until a wedding cake satisfies Charlotte Linlin's appetite again, Charlotte Linlin will only continue to destroy everything in her path.

……

"How terrible, Charlotte Linlin..."

In the ruins of a corner of the wedding plaza, Corazon, who was no longer being taken care of, sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, Yann's voice echoed in Corazon's mental space, agreeing, "No matter what, Charlotte Linlin is one of the strongest beings in the sea, she must be incredibly terrifying."

Hearing the sigh in Yann's words, Corazon said irritably.

"You have the nerve to say that? Just how far away were you from when you launched that attack? If Katakuri hadn't intercepted and detonated that attack in mid-air, you probably would have killed me too."

"How could that be? I can detonate that thing at any time; it couldn't possibly hurt you..."

Yann replied dismissively.

"Moreover, this kind of attack looks scary, but in reality, unless it hits completely, it is not much of a threat to a top expert like Charlotte Linlin. On the contrary, it causes me to suffer extremely serious damage."

After a pause, Yann asked with a smile.

"How was it, Corazon? I told you I'd put on a spectacular fireworks display for your wedding. This mushroom cloud should be quite memorable, right?"

Upon hearing this, Corazon turned his gaze upwards, where the strange mushroom created by the explosion lingered for a long time.

This scene was deeply etched into Corazon's mind.

In the instant that "Bankai: Suzumebachi Raikouben" was detonated, Corazon inexplicably felt a sublime art in it; the extremely shocking explosion was... perfect?!

The word suddenly popped into Corazon's mind.

Perhaps it would be even more perfect if this mushroom cloud were a little bigger and a little darker in color?

Meanwhile, Yann, who was sharing the same gaze with Corazon, noticed that Corazon seemed to be staring blankly at the mushroom cloud and couldn't help but remind him.

"Although the process was somewhat unexpected, Whole Cake Island is now in chaos, with everyone busy calming the crazed Charlotte Linlin. This gives you the perfect opportunity to proceed as planned and find Kaido's 'Violet Card' and... the Red Poneglyph!"

"Um……"

Corazon, regaining his senses, responded and, while maintaining the power of the "Silence-Silence Fruit" to avoid being detected by Observation Haki, glanced over the chaotic wedding plaza and quietly headed towards Charlotte Linlin's residence.

[Chapter 599: The Treasure Chamber]

The "Silence-Silence Fruit" was of almost no practical use to Corazon, except for improving his sleep quality.

However, as Corazon delved deeper into the power of the "Silent Fruit," he unexpectedly discovered that the "Silent Fruit," which could isolate all sounds, had an extremely strong restraining effect on Observation Haki, a power that is essentially based on "hearing."

Furthermore, with the development of Corazon, Corazon can also permanently create a semi-permanent "soundproof barrier" for an object or a region.

In fact, whether it was the port that the Revolutionary Army established beneath the Red Line that connected the two sections of the Grand Line, or the secret research institutes and bases they built in various parts of the sea, Corazon built "soundproof walls" there to avoid the possibility of being detected by Observation Haki.

Only by using the power of the "Silence-Silence Fruit" could one possibly infiltrate Charlotte Linlin's room on Whole Cake Island, where users of Observation Haki are extremely common.

"Rumble..."

The sounds of Charlotte Linlin's rampage continued to ring out, and a large number of the "BIG MOM Pirates" officers were trying to stop Charlotte Linlin's destruction. Everyone's attention was now drawn to Charlotte Linlin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Corazon constantly shifted his position in various blind spots, heading towards Charlotte Linlin's room.

Kaido's Vivre Card is likely located either on Charlotte Linlin or in her room.

As for the treasure room containing the significant red Poneglyphs, according to pirate habits, it would definitely be not far from Charlotte Linlin's room.

Throughout the journey, Corazon constantly used his Observation Haki to sense the pirates nearby, avoiding being discovered by the "Big Mom Pirates".

After spending a considerable amount of time, Corazon finally found Charlotte Linlin's room in the complex castle on Whole Cake Island.

"This should be it..."

While maintaining his "Silence-Silence Fruit" powers, Corazon was not worried about the commotion leaking out. With a slash of his scythe, he directly cleaved open Charlotte Linlin's door and strode into the room.

However, Corazon, who was acting cautiously and discreetly, was unaware that a hideous and sinister figure flashed past in a mirror facing Charlotte Linlin's room.

"Perospero's guess was right after all. This guy is suspicious. He took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Mom's room. What does he want to do?!"

Charlotte Brûlée, the "Mirror-Mirror Fruit" user who had been continuously monitoring Corazon from within the Mirror World under Perospero's orders, muttered to herself as she carefully observed Corazon's every move.

"Should we tell the brothers now? But they're busy dealing with Mom's food cravings... Or should we wait and see? There shouldn't be anything important in Mom's room anyway..."

Corazon remained completely unaware of Charlotte Brûlée's surveillance hidden in the Mirror World. After entering Charlotte Linlin's rather luxurious and large room, he began searching through it.

For Charlotte Linlin, who is nearly eight meters tall, the luxurious room she was staying in was no less than the size of a small football field. Several hours had passed by the time Corazon had searched every corner of the room.

'No?!'

Having gained nothing, Corazon's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

It's highly likely that Charlotte Linlin still carries Kaido's Vivre Card, which would make obtaining it from her much more difficult.

Immediately after Corazon informed Arn of the situation, he didn't hesitate and headed straight for the "BIG MOM Pirates'" treasure vault.

Although the sounds of Charlotte Linlin's destruction continued outside, Corazon had no doubt that the Big Mom Pirates' executives had the ability to quell the situation and that they had to act as soon as possible before the chaos subsided.

Soon, Corazon stopped in front of a gate that was nearly ten meters high.

"found it……"

Charlotte Brûlée, who was monitoring Corazon's movements through the Mirror World, widened her eyes and muttered, "Is this guy's goal... the treasure room?"

However, Charlotte Brûlée immediately breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "But it's alright. The door to the treasure room is specially made of a mixture of seastone. Without the key, Corazon shouldn't be able to get in."

However, Corazon, whose path was blocked by the treasure room door, did not hesitate at all and directly activated the power of the "Silence-Silence Fruit".

"Soundproof wall!"

The next moment, an invisible wall opened up, not only enveloping Corazon himself, but also encompassing the entire treasure vault in front of him, completely severing the transmission of sound between the inside and outside of the invisible wall.

"Next, we'll use a slightly more forceful approach!"

Corazon tugged at the collar of his white suit, then swung the giant scythe in his hand and slammed it towards the door in front of him.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

A series of loud roars echoed at the entrance to the treasure room. Without any concern about attracting reinforcements, Corazon went all out, and the door that Charlotte Brûlée had placed so much hope in collapsed in less than a few breaths.

"Boom~~~"

Meanwhile, the numerous members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" guarding the treasure room were all somewhat stunned by this sudden situation.

Has the entire World Ocean already been... breached?

Who on earth dared to so brazenly force open the door to the treasure room?!

The next moment, as the door collapsed and a cloud of smoke billowed out, a slender figure became clearer and clearer. Charlotte Contecolason, the person in charge of guarding the treasure room on duty, shouted.

"Who?!"

"Da da~"

The sound of Corazon's white leather shoes treading on the ruins of the gate rang out, and his figure carrying a giant scythe became clearer and clearer.

"It seems things won't go as smoothly as I imagined. Are there still guards inside the treasure room?"
