Chapter 230: Disparity, Overwhelming Strength And Arrival

Chapter 230: Disparity, Overwhelming Strength And Arrival

__________ POV Narration __________

Luffy and his crew had already reunited with Bege and the other people that took part in the assassination plans.

They were running around inside the mirror world in a panic.

Bege was already arguing with Luffy.

"Why the hell would you give the signal that soon, eh?!!?" The Mafia boss was well and truly relying on Luffy, or someone from his crew, to give the signal in time.

"... I thought Enel was gonna help us..." The Straw Hat seemed genuinely discouraged, as he remembered the Sky King just looking at him as he fought with Katakuri, the Doudgh User.

"Well, he did end up helping us in the end, but I think that wasn't his goal today..." Robin muttered as she remembered seeing all of the Big Mom Pirates and the Vinsmoke family getting intercepted by Enel's lightning.

"Don't try and defend your boyfriend Robin! Big Mom would've actually died if he helped us..." Zoro was admittedly a bit salty, which led to him speaking in a harsher manner.

Sanji just shook his head. "This is all my fault in the first place... I got us all involved in this..."

"Shut your mouth!" Zoro and Nami both ended up punching him in the head, not wanting to hear any self-deprecating bullshit from their cook.

"Hey, let's look at the positive side... At least we're getting away, right?" Ussop spoke out as he rode on Chopper's back to keep up with the rest.

"... About that..." Zoro sweated a bit as he remembered looking back through the mirror he had come from and seeing Brulee being saved by her brother.

"We need to look for the Mirror user and try to capture her again..." All of them essentially stopped in their tracks when hearing that.

"W-what?!" Nami was completely mortified, the rest also seemed confused, before it clicked in...

Caesar hadn't even managed to escape alongside them.

Without the user of the Mirror Fruit, they had no way of genuinely getting out of the Mirror World.

They needed to at least be in contact with the unconscious body of the user to travel through the mirrors, but they now had no way out.

This realization made Bege start swearing loudly, as he was now trapped within an Emperor's territory.

"G-guys... Look at that mirror..." Ussop then pointed to one of the mirrors in the distance, where something seemed to be emerging towards them...

It was none other than Katakrui, carrying his sister's unconscious form in order to travel into the Mirror dimension.

He stepped into the mirror world and his eyes were already locked onto the group of pirates/would-be assassins, he then placed his hand on the mirror at his side, and more people started pouring in.

More and more of his siblings followed, especially the injured and the unconscious ones also started being dragged in.

Everyone was shocked to see the state of so many of the Charlotte Family, then one of them also looked to the side, to see countless mirrors cracked.

Within those cracks, an image formed.

An image of a man with golden hair covered in lighting, a pair of drums spinning constantly on his back, his arms crossed and position casual as he essentially laid down in mid-air.

"Yahahahaha~" His laughter shook the skies as they rumbled and formed a vortex the skies at his command, in the middle of that vortex was revealed the figure of a burnt and unconscious Big Mom.

She seemed to have already dropped her blade, her body was filled with injuries and covered in a black tint, having been charred for a while.

Her Haki may have protected her, but she was in no good shape. She was just freefalling back towards the Island.

Prometheus was locked in a cage of clouds, and Zeus was rushing to catch his creator in a panic.

Such a shocking scene left an imprint on the minds of everyone that saw it.

Enel didn't even look like he was struggling, he genuinely looked like he was enjoying his rest on a fluffy bed of clouds while Big Mom seemed to be on death's doorstep.

Such a disparity of strength between emperors was simply mindboggling for Bege and the others.

To them, Big Mom and her Sweet Commanders were absolute monsters deserving of fear. But now, the biggest monster in their eyes, Big Mom, appeared like nothing more than a toy in the Sky King's hands.

Luffy just smiled widely, already expecting such a scene to happen.

'Of course! Enel is strong after all!'

He was also happy that Enel had helped them in the end.

All that was left to worry about was Big Mom, who also seemed to be aiming at growing her powers before the war.

Her fear of Francisco seemed to have turned her completely against him. And Luffy's stupidity certainly didn't help things along.

But things could still be salvaged.

'Still... To think that this disk is that powerful...'

Enel looked back at the spinning drums on his back.

He remembered awakening, and in that instant Big Mom was already swinging her sword, Napoleon, towards him.

She was even using 'Cognac(Emperor Blade)' covering Napoleon in Prometheus and her own Conquror's coating while trying to behead Enel once and for all.

But the blade didn't even get close to grazing Enel's skin before the spinning disk rushed in front of him.

The drums spun endlessly even as sparks rose from the point of contact of the ring and Big Mom's blade. If anything, the drums seemed to turn into a saw blade for a few seconds, spinning even faster as they started cutting into Napoleon.

In that instant, Napoleon screamed in pain as it wrestled with the spinning drums, Big Mom's hands trembled as she tried to press down onto Enel unsuccessfully.

Eventually, something that neither Emperors expected happened, Napoleon stopped screaming for a moment, giving his mother one last smile before he melted in her hands, the heat was so strong that even Phromoeteus was repelled, before being entrapped in clouds.

Big Mom was then also caught in a similar prison, alongside Zeus who did his best to protect her.

The scariest part was that Enel didn't even try to block that blade or destroy Napoleon. He was going to just dodge the attack. But the drums seemed to have a mind of their own, and they moved instinctively to protect him.

He did remember Luffy's devil fruit supposedly held a part of Nika within it, one that could influence his mind to some extent.

He didn't experience that with his fruit. But it was possible that a part of Raijin's consciousness lived on within those drums and in the tattoo on his back.

But he had no way of knowing, nor did he have any way of speaking to a pair of lightning drums. So he could only speculate.

Knowing the old God's temperament, it did match the actions of the drums... After all, the old god likely would've been too prideful to even consider dodging such a 'weak' attack.

That thought was also what ended up making Enel laugh.

In a strange way, his strength had grown exponentially. But he clearly still had a lot of work to do regarding his control.

He hadn't wanted to destroy Napoleon at the end of the day. Thankfully his control over clouds seemed to have become even greater.

He could now essentially create them with ease too.

He did so by burning up water from the sea and turning parts of it into vapour, vapour that he then energized and condensed to form clouds endlessly.

He no longer needed any dials, nor did he need to hide a ship nearby to act as a cloud machine.

'I still have a lot of exploring left to do... I must discover what other abilities I have besides the Drum and overall power and perception boost...

Awakenings are never really that simple, and Luffy's allowed him to even affect reality itself with his imagination...'

The Emperor couldn't help but sigh as his gaze turned back to Big Mom, who was being lowered to the ground gently by a Zeus that was freaking out.

At that moment, his senses settled on a man that just appeared by Big Mom's side.

He was tall and filled with muscle, he had one mechanical arm and leg, and his hair was shaped in a strange clover style.

'... Oven...'

The Emperor scratched the back of his head as he realised that he now had to face his friend after essentially brutalising his mother...

'Let's hope things don't re-escalate further... Better go and meet him now...'
