Mangaka in the StrawHats

"Amazing, Brook~~~," Logan said with a grin, turning his attention back to Big Mom. His voice was firm as he addressed her, "Now, can we sit down and have a proper talk?"

"Talk in hell, little bastard!!——" Big Mom roared, her voice echoing through the hall.

Logan's request for dialogue was met with nothing but fury. The Straw Hat Pirates had humiliated her children, and now Logan expected her to negotiate?

Do you really think I, Big Mom, enjoy talking?

Her massive hand gripped Napoleon tighter as Prometheus' flames and Zeus' lightning fused with the sword. A terrifying energy built up around it, condensing into a shining sword of raw power.

"Maser Cannon!!" Big Mom bellowed, slashing forward with all her might. The sword's tip unleashed a surge of flaming, crackling energy, and a colossal spectral woman appeared from the blast.

Her face was contorted with fury as she rushed toward the Straw Hat Pirates, her form twisting with the elements of fire and lightning.

"What the hell is that!?" Usopp exclaimed, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and disbelief.

"It's... Big Mom's sword energy?!" Franky added, equally taken aback. "But how is it moving like a living thing!?"

"That's the power of her Soul-Soul Fruit!" Robin explained. Even the underworld emperors watching from afar were stunned by the sight.

"Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun!!——————" Luffy's eyes lit up with excitement. Without hesitation, he charged forward, his fist covered in black Armament Haki, and launched a massive punch directly at the Maser Cannon.

Whoosh!!

His fist punched straight through the spectral woman, but it had no effect. Luffy blinked, tilting his head. "Eh? Didn't I hit it?"

The Maser's face twisted with malice as she lunged forward to attack Luffy.

"Get out of the way!" Logan's arm shot out, grabbing Luffy and pulling him back just in time.

"Ahhh~?" Luffy whined, disappointed that his fun was cut short. "I wanted to fight her!"

Logan chuckled. "Give Zoro a chance to perform."

Zoro, who had been waiting for the moment, unsheathed Wado Ichimonji with a sharp clang. His aura shifted as spiritual energy from the Soul Society surged through him, causing the entire hall to grow cold. The temperature dropped drastically, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present.

"What's happening? Why does it feel like I've fallen into an ice hole?" one pirate stammered.

"My body... it's trembling on its own!" another gasped.

Zoro's Reiryoku—the spiritual pressure that connects the realms of the living and the dead—continued to intensify, gathering on his sword like a storm. The spiritual energy couldn't be seen, but its overwhelming presence was undeniable. The entire hall seemed to bend under the weight of it.

"One Sword Style: Reiatsu Crush!!——————" Zoro slashed forward, his blade cutting through the air with a terrifying force.

The Maser Cannon, infused with the soul energy of Big Mom, suddenly recoiled in fear. Her spectral form trembled as she faced the raw spiritual pressure radiating from Zoro. As a creation of Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit, the Maser was, at her core, a spirit. Against Zoro's spiritual power, she was utterly powerless.

In an instant, the Maser knelt before Zoro, her defiance crumbling into terror.

"Damned kids!!!" Big Mom screamed, her fury reaching new heights as she watched her creation cower before Zoro. But before she could intervene, Zoro's sword slashed down with devastating power.

Boom!!

The sheer force of the spiritual pressure from Zoro's blade crushed the Maser Cannon into oblivion. Her scream echoed through the hall before fading into nothingness, leaving only the remnants of her once-terrifying form behind.

The pirates in the hall were thrown off their feet by the shockwave of spiritual energy that followed the strike, tossed about like ragdolls.

"You damned kids!!!" Big Mom's voice quivered with rage as she saw the ease with which the Straw Hat Pirates were handling her attacks. First Logan, then Luffy, and now Zoro—one after the other, they showed they could challenge even her.

She charged toward them, her massive body shaking the very ground as she moved. "I'll fight you all myself!!!"

"Why...?" Logan muttered with a sigh, his face showing disappointment. "Why can't we just have a civil conversation?"

He shook his head, realizing that there was no room for negotiation. "Fine, then. Straw Hats, come together! Let's show Big Mom our power!"

"Ah?" Sanji's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, are you suggesting we all gang up on an old woman? Isn't that... inhumane?"

Sanji, ever the gentleman, couldn't imagine raising a hand against a woman, no matter who she was. Even if it was Big Mom herself.

"Inhumane?" Logan smirked, remembering a classic response. "It doesn't matter! For pirate scum like her, we have to fight fire with fire! Everyone, come together!"

The Straw Hats didn't hesitate after Logan's words.

"Okay!!" they shouted in unison.

Luffy, Zoro, and Logan charged at Big Mom in close combat, their fists and blades clashing against her overwhelming strength. Nami unleashed her Clow Cards, casting elemental attacks , while Robin's hands crossed in preparation for her devastating techniques.

Meanwhile, Brook's Hell Chain provided invaluable support, weaving in and out of the battlefield, tripping Big Mom's movements and weakening her with its spiritual energy.

Bang! Crash! Boom!

The sound of battle echoed throughout the castle as Big Mom was battered from every side. She swung Napoleon wildly, trying to defend herself, but the combined might of the Straw Hat Pirates was too much for even her to handle.

After an intense flurry of attacks, Big Mom's gigantic form finally collapsed with a deafening thud, the ground shaking beneath her weight.

Logan dusted off his hands, satisfied. "Well, that's done. Now..." he turned to Nami and Robin with a grin. "Let's go check out Big Mom's treasure room."

"Yeah!!" Nami's eyes lit up, immediately turning into gleaming Berry symbols as the thought of treasure flooded her mind.
