Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"By the way, is Brulee alright?"

“Don’t worry, Mom. Katakuri, Owen, and Daifuku have been protecting Brulee all along,” Perospero replied.

Charlotte Linlin's eyes, now barely slits, held a hint of terror as she warned her.

“Mama, well done, Perospero. You must protect Brulee, otherwise it will be troublesome if she wants to leave the Mirror World.”

"Yes, Mom, don't worry."

As Perospero answered cautiously, he also breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing that his mother was still very lucid even when she wasn't in a "food craving" state.

For the "BIG MOM Pirates" who have now entered the "Mirror World", Brulee is of utmost importance. Therefore, Perospero specifically instructed his three very trustworthy brothers, Katakuri, Oven, and Daifuku, to keep a close watch on and protect Brulee at all times, and to keep Brulee at the center of the team at all times.

However, at that moment...

"boom!"

At the center of the group, a large amount of white rice cakes exploded, and Owen and Daifuku were blasted into the air.

"An enemy attack? How could that be?!"

Perospero stared wide-eyed at the scene!

However, the next moment, Owen and Daifuku's incomprehensible words left the entire "BIG MOM Pirates" stunned.

"Katakuri, what are you doing?"

"Why did they suddenly attack us?!"

The instant Owen and Daifuku finished speaking, Katakuri, who was in a state of "Fruit Awakening," broke away from the group while carrying Brulee and headed straight for the nearest mirror.

[Chapter 775. The Chosen Pawn]

"Stop Katakuri!!!"

Perospero's voice, filled with disbelief and anger, echoed in the Mirror World from a relatively far distance, bringing the rest of the Charlotte family to their senses.

As Smoothie, who is also a Charlotte Family Sweet Commander like Katakuri, made her move, a huge purple flying slash crashed down towards Katakuri's back.

"Water Sword!"

However, Katakuri's Observation Haki, which was capable of "predicting the future," had already foreseen this scene. A large ball of mochi covered in Armament Haki formed a shield on Katakuri's back.

"boom!"

The collision between the water sword and the mochi ball not only failed to cause effective damage to Katakuri, but also caused Katakuri to suddenly increase in speed due to the impact of the collision. He narrowly avoided being surrounded by the two executives in front of him and then landed next to a mirror that was as tall as a person.

"Damn it! Katakuri's precognition completely anticipated our reactions!"

Smoothie spoke with a grim expression, and the other Charlotte family members dared not make any rash moves.

Now, Katakuri and Brulee are standing by the mirror, which means that Katakuri and Brulee can leave the mirror world at any time and trap everyone else here.

Charlotte Linlin, whose reaction was slightly delayed, was now emanating an almost tangible black aura. She stared at Katakuri with a terrifying gaze and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Katakuri! My good son, do you know what you're doing?"

Katakuri, feeling Brulee's trembling body filled with fear in his arms, put Brulee down and held her behind him. He then looked resolutely at Charlotte Linlin and her many younger siblings in front of him and spoke.

“Of course, Mom, I’ve never been more lucid than I am right now.”

Seeing that Katakuri, whom they had once loved and admired, had suddenly done such a thing and had thoroughly enraged Charlotte Linlin, the other siblings couldn't help but speak up to persuade her.

"Katakuri, you...you're trying to rebel against Mom?"

"Don't be impulsive, Katakuri-san!"

"Katakuri, apologize to your mother now and explain properly, and she will forgive you."

"Katakuri-san, have you been bewitched by someone?"

However, Charlotte Linlin let out a loud shout.

"Shut up!"

In an instant, almost all the Charlotte family members froze, cold sweat pouring down their faces, and dared not utter another sound.

Charlotte Linlin then jumped off the Homie that served as her mode of transportation. Behind her floated two special Homies that resembled clouds – “Thundercloud Zeus” and “Suncloud Prometheus”. The bicorn hat Homie “Napoleon” on her head transformed into a giant military sword that Charlotte Linlin held in her hand.

"Katakuri, do you really think the Mirror World can hold me captive forever?"

Enraged, Charlotte Linlin walked step by step toward Katakuri, the immense pressure making all the Charlotte family executives feel like they couldn't breathe.

"Hand over Brulee now, then kneel down, and I'll spare your soul some torment. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."

Katakuri lowered his head slightly, his eyes gloomy, then looked directly at Charlotte Linlin and answered.

"Of course, Mom, I also believe that you can't be trapped in the mirror world forever, and I understand the consequences of betraying you."

Charlotte Linlin's large, bell-like eyes flashed with intense killing intent and anger as she questioned, "If that's the case, how dare you?"

However, at that moment, a calm voice sounded behind Katakuri.

"Why wouldn't you dare? Charlotte Linlin, do you still think this is the era of the so-called Sea Emperors?"

As Katakuri pulled Brulee aside, Yann and Enel appeared before the entire Charlotte family.

This man?!

At this moment, not only all the Charlotte family executives, but even Charlotte Linlin was stunned!

Naval hero... "Sakura Dragon" Tefimer Yarn?!

"How is that possible? Wasn't this guy already dead?"

"Could this be... a conspiracy by the Navy? Has Katakuri been bribed by the Navy?"

"Damn it, we've been tricked! We've been tricked ever since we entered the Mirror World!"

……

Amidst the murmurs of shock and anger, Yann calmly surveyed the crowd before speaking to Katakuri.

“Well done, Katakuri, you didn’t let me down.”

"Lord Yan, I hope you will keep your promise," Katakuri said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Katakuri..."

Ya'en smiled slightly, adjusted his glasses, and said, "The world is vast enough to accommodate you, and it can also accommodate the people you value."

Only now, having received Yann's promise again, did Katakuri finally feel completely at ease.

“mamama~”

Suddenly, Charlotte Linlin burst into laughter, several veins bulging on her forehead in extreme anger, her eyes so terrifying that it seemed she intended to devour Yann alive.

"The Navy? How arrogant! Are they planning to wipe out both the Whitebeard Pirates and my Big Mom Pirates at the same time?"

"For this, he even staged his own death to trick me into joining the war from the Mirror World? 'Strategist' Sengoku, you're really something, and quite arrogant..."

Charlotte Linlin spoke while glancing at the mirrors around her.

"Where are the others? The three admirals, the seven warlords, that old man Garp, and Sengoku—tell them all to come out!"

As soon as Charlotte Linlin spoke, the other members of the Charlotte family tensed up and cautiously glanced around at the mirrors.

Amidst this tense and solemn atmosphere, Yann couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Pfft..."

Charlotte Linlin glared at Yarne and demanded, "What are you laughing at, you brat?!"

"Feel sorry……"

Yann pushed up his glasses and said with a hint of a smile, "It's not that I look down on you, but the 'BIG MOM Pirates' really don't deserve such attention."

Charlotte Linlin's forehead vein throbbed as she asked, "You brat, do you know what you're saying?"

Yaen shook his head helplessly, then slowly drew the Zanpakuto from his waist and said.

"As a pawn I've chosen, you're overestimating yourself a bit too much, Charlotte Linlin..."

[Chapter 776. All I Want Is You]

As Arn's words fell, the Zanpakuto's tip was pointed at Charlotte Linlin in the instant...

"Bankai: God Slayer Spear!"

The next instant, it was as if an extremely fast white light stretched to Charlotte Linlin's chest, causing Charlotte Linlin's eyes to widen involuntarily.

"Ding!"

The next moment, the extended blade of the "Godslayer Gun" pressed against Charlotte Linlin's chest.

However, the expected piercing did not occur. Instead, Charlotte Linlin's enormous body was sent flying backward by the impact of the "Godslayer Spear," crashing into and exploding a large number of Homies before disappearing from everyone's sight.

Immediately, Yann retracted the "Godslayer Spear," which had been extended by several kilometers, and turned to Enel beside him.

"Don't let these pirates bother me."

Immediately afterward, Yann's figure vanished from his spot, heading straight towards Charlotte Linlin, who had been blasted away.

"Stop that guy!"

"Damn bastard, how dare you underestimate the 'BIG MOM Pirates'!"

"Go help Mom!"

Just as the "BIG MOM Pirates" executives subconsciously began to act, a head of blond hair slowly floated up under the influence of lightning. Enel, whose entire body was wrapped in a large amount of lightning, blocked the "BIG MOM Pirates" executives. With his dead fish eyes, he calmly looked down at the group of people below and spoke.

"If I kill you all, I probably won't be able to bother my god anymore."

As Enel finished speaking, the four thunder drums once again unleashed purple lightning, slowly forming the outline of a purple lightning giant behind Enel.

Compared to Enel's past pursuit of high voltage and his efforts to maximize the power of lightning, after being thoroughly beaten by Luffy who used his "non-conductive" nature, Enel began to develop his "Rumble-Rumble Fruit" ability in a different direction.

At that moment, in the future perceived by Katakuri's Observation Haki, Enel threw his lightning spear, and a terrifying purple lightning bolt exploded, directly annihilating dozens of his subordinates.

"and many more……"

Katakuri quickly stepped between Enel and the other "BIG MOM Pirates" executives, then looked at Enel with apprehension as he continued, "I'm not stopping for a second."

"I have an agreement with Lord Yann, and he will guarantee the safety of my brothers and sisters!"

Upon hearing this, Enel paused in his actions, and the other members of the "BIG MOM Pirates" were even more surprised.

"Katakuri, did you betray Mom for our sake?" Charlotte Armand, the "Minister of Nuts," asked in shock.
