The body of 'Holo Jisei' was buried in the forest where he often practiced with his brothers from the Big Mom Pirates. There was no tombstone, and not many people even knew about it. It was only buried by Katakuri and a few others.
, and made certain marks.
He had been dead for more than five years, and his body had not undergone special treatment. When it was exhumed, it had turned into white bones.
Ji Xing admired his perfect frame for a while, then bent down to remove a rib and put it in his arms for subsequent experiments.
They both have bodies forged from the Seven Star Pearl, so they may have something in common. His physical ability with the talent of Big Stomach King is much stronger than that of Ji Xing, who is currently gifted with Great Swordsman, so he might be able to put it to use.
Beside them, Perospero and others looked at Ji Xing and then at the skeleton, their expressions were dull and their emotions were indescribable.
So it’s not fake death?
They thought they would find an empty tomb after digging the hole, which would make them psychologically more accepting.
As a result, the body is there and the person is still alive. That body...whose body is it?
"Are you...really Ji Xing?" Owen couldn't help but ask: "I don't remember that you have Devil Fruit abilities. At that time, your mother also mentioned that she would find a suitable fruit for you..."
"How about we give it a try?" Ji Xing asked.
Owen fell silent.
Katakuri asked: "What was the reason why I helped you stop your mother?"
Ji Xing replied: "I threatened her because I know her biggest secret. The Carmelite nun was eaten by her by mistake."
Katakuri was silent for a moment: "Over the years, I have often wondered why you knew that. Now it seems that there is indeed a huge secret in you, even...before 'Holo Ji Xing'
, do you have other identities?"
Ji Xing smiled and didn't explain any more.
"Giggle...Perospero..." Perospero, who was sticking out his long tongue, suddenly let out his trademark weird smile and said: "Knowing so many things that only a few of us know, it seems that there is no mistake.
Ji Xing, you really gave us a huge surprise. The strongest person in the world who defeated Mom and Kaido three years ago turned out to be you?
So now... how do we calculate it? You and we are friends, right? We can't be enemies, right?"
He asked and looked at the other brothers and sisters, seize the opportunity, this is the strongest in the world!
"It's a benefactor." Katakuri said: "We are very grateful to you for making that choice, not telling mother the truth, and not letting the world be destroyed. Although it seems now that you did not pay such a heavy price with your life, but death
Last time, there will definitely be no cost."
Perospero breathed a sigh of relief, Katakuri actually said something nice, but the next moment he heard Katakuri say again: "He is also an enemy."
"Because of us, you had to die once. If I hadn't taken you away from Hatchinos Island, nothing would have happened. Now you have the ability to take revenge on us."
Perospero almost bit off his tongue and chuckled twice: "Enemies are a bit exaggerated. This, isn't this not dead..."
"The enemies are indeed exaggerating." Ji Xing smiled and said: "Even if I contradicted Big Mom, Katakuri, and Owen in person, you still wanted to save me. Although your original intention was wrong, you still treat me as a family member.
I recognize the friendship...
But once I ‘died’ back then, the grudges were resolved, and now it’s a bit too much to say they are still friends, let’s just call them...familiar strangers.”
"Keke... let us get to know each other again and establish friendship again."
Perospero worked really hard, but the people around him couldn't help him. Owen said: "Then what do you mean by coming back this time? If you just want to tell us that you are not dead, you could have done it three years ago.
, why come at this time?"
"First, I want rubbings of the red historical text and other historical texts." Ji Xing said.
Red historical text?
"You, you want to be the Pirate King?!"
Ji Xing shook his head: "The second thing is... I heard that the Big Mom Pirate Group changed hands, so I came here to confirm Big Mom's situation. Is she not dead?"
Katakuri nodded slowly.
"She's been imprisoned." Ji Xing looked at him and said, "What are you going to do? She is not a person who will give in to her children. Do you want to imprison her all the time? This is very dangerous first of all. If she accidentally escapes, you will all
To die, secondly...
Even if you can keep her locked up, are you going to let such a female pirate who represents an era slowly die of old age in a cell? Or should you say she died of being betrayed by all her children?"
Katakuri was silent.
The other people were also silent.
"You don't want to kill her. No matter how much she controls your lives or puts pressure on you when she is in power, she is the mother who gave you life after all. You cannot bear her life, and you dare not bear it."
Ji Xingdao.
"So...just let me carry it."
Boom——
It's like another thunder rolls down!
The eyes of Katakuri and the others suddenly condensed, their eyes focused on Ji Xing like ears of suspicion.
Ji Xing repeated: "Let me kill her. We have a grudge. Not counting the time I died, she and Kaido also besieged me three years ago. If I hadn't been superior, I would have died again that time."
, so it is reasonable for me to take revenge on her."
"...No, no!" Smoothie said in an excited voice: "How could...Mom, she..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Ji Xing!" Owen glared and said, "How could I let you kill her?!"
Ji Xing smiled: "No? Then come and stop me. I want to kill you. Can you stop me?"
Everyone fell silent again for a moment.
Just like when I heard that Ji Xing was not dead and had become the strongest person in the world, I was at a loss and couldn't make a sound.
…
Soon after, chaos broke out on Cake Island.
An order 'from bigmom' was spread by Katakuri: 'Due to the need to renovate the environment of Cake Island, all residents of Cake Island need to temporarily relocate to neighboring islands for a few days.'
This would have been an uproar in an ordinary small town, but it was normal in Wan Guo. The residents were obedient, took their valuables, and went to the dock to board the ship in an orderly manner, with only a few words of confusion.
The only ones who would question it were my brothers and sisters.
Many big mom children, who serve as ministers in other islands of the world, did not get an answer after being contacted by phone. Many of them rushed to Cake Island, and all of them looked very nervous.
"What's wrong? Why..."
"Brother Katakuri! Could it be that something happened to my mother?!"
“Is mommy coming out?!”…
They were persuaded by Katakuri's silent expression, and each one with fear and confusion, went to the dock to evacuate the civilians, and were strictly ordered not to allow anyone to approach the upper center of the cake island.
In the center of Cake Island, after making all arrangements and preparations, Katakuri and the others took Ji Xing to the depths of Big Mom Castle.
Come to the cell where bigmom is imprisoned!
Except for Katakuri, Perospero and others had not dared to approach this place before, but this time they all braved the door and walked in.
Big Mom squatted in the cell like a trapped evil beast. When she felt someone coming, she immediately stared at him with fierce eyes.
Ji Xing standing next to Katakuri could not be ignored by anyone. Even if a bunch of damn children came, Big Mom's eyes still fell on him for an instant.
Unexpected, irritable, indifferent.
Various emotions flashed through her, and her mother laughed heartily: "Why, did these bastards who betrayed me find you as their backer, so they dared to do this?! Or maybe you heard about me and came here to see me.
What a mother’s joke?!”
Even when she was a prisoner and saw Ji Xing, who was invincible to her, she would not show any fear. Ji Xing did not answer, only took the key given by Katakuri, stepped forward to open the cell door, and then stepped forward to unlock Big Mom's key.
Sea Tower Stone Chain.
Bigmom didn't move until the chains were completely removed, then she stood up and moved her body.
She looked at Katakuri and the others.
Calm, scary, sad.
She looked down at Ji Xing again: "What does this mean? Are you looking down on me?"
"I am Holo Ji Xing." Ji Xing said.
"……Um?"
"Um?!!"
boom--
The crimson red color suddenly erupted. Owen and others stumbled back. Big Mom stared at Ji Xing with her eyes wide open: "What did you say?!"
Ji Xing said: "I am Holo Ji Xing. I faked my death and escaped five years ago. Now I have become powerful. I have come back to the world... to take revenge on you."
"You guy...how could it be..."
"Mom." Katakuri interrupted: "Let's go to the castle hall to talk. I have asked the chefs to prepare enough food for you."
Bigmom glanced sideways at him, then looked at Ji Xing. After a few seconds of silence, he walked out of the cell. Then without saying a word, he silently walked towards the castle hall, his steps swaying, still like a king inspecting his own.
territory.
Ji Xing followed behind.
Katakuri and others are behind Ji Xing again.
Pushing open the door of the castle hall, the fragrance of various cakes hit your nostrils. Not only the round table, but almost a thousand square meters of ground in the huge hall were filled with various delicacies!
Bigmom grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, then walked to the main seat and sat down.
Ji Xing followed on one side, Katakuri followed on the other side, and the others took their places one by one.
"Jixing? Ji
Let’s compare our appetites again!”
Ji Xing shook his head: "I died once and paid a lot of price. Now I can't eat that much."
"Really? It's disappointing." Big Mom shook her head and started eating. Ji Xing followed suit, and Katakuri and others followed silently...
Just like the 'last family banquet' more than five years ago, Katakuri and others couldn't eat anymore after eating, and sat in silence with their heads bowed.
Although Ji Xing no longer has the talent of being a big eater, he still managed to eat tons of food and stayed with Big Mom for a while after returning to life and exercising his appetite intentionally.
After that, Big Mom ate alone. She had not eaten much since she was locked up in the cell. She was very good at eating. She sucked in everything like a bottomless pit. The delicious sweets gradually made her forget everything and squinted happily.
Open your eyes.
Until everything is eaten!
Burping with satisfaction, she put on the two-cornered hat placed in the open space, looked around and said: "Katakuri, Perospero, you guys go away, don't be an eyesore here, or...you guys
Are you going to besiege me with him?"
"Mom." Katakuri said: "It was here five years ago that we besieged Ji Xing. Let's do it again. If we work together to win or defeat him, I hope you can hand over the management of the nations to us.
Retreat. If we lose to him..."
"Mom, mom..." Big Mom laughed: "Retire?! I will never retire!
Katakuri, you should know me. As long as you free your hands, all of you bastards who betrayed me will die! And I don’t need the help of you weaklings. Together, you are better than Kaidona.
Guy!"
"But we are your sons and daughters."
"Hmph - son? Daughter? The children locked up by my mother?! Hey, if you are not afraid of death, just stay here! My attack will not escape you!" Bigmom grabbed both hands, Zeus and the brand new
Prometheus appeared and was caught in her hand.
"Mom, are you finally out of trouble?!"
"Those damn traitors!"
"Wait - who is this guy?"
Bigmom clenched her hands, her huge body carrying a mountain-like pressure, and looked down at Ji Xing: "The last defeat brought me a lot of reflection. In the past three years, I have not made any progress! If you still think you can
It would be a big mistake to win me easily! Mom——"
"Thunder Fire!" Fire Cloud and Thunder Cloud shot toward the center, and the dazzling light expanded.
Thunder and lightning mixed with flames, causing strange ripples under the surging overlord color, and the space was caressed by ripples!
In the majestic baptism of heat, the table in front of her and the empty plates on the table melted away in an instant. The terrifying temperature seemed to exceed that of volcanic lava!
Katakuri and others jumped back.
Ji Xing touches the handle of the knife.
The knife comes out! The fire disappears! People fly!
In an instant, the world changes!
Big Mom, who was white and bleeding, crashed into the wall with a loud bang. She sat in the ruins and stared at Ji Xing with a knife in her hand in astonishment.
"Mom, mom - are you still getting stronger?!" Then she laughed a few times, grabbed the two-cornered hat sword with her backhand, and consumed three years of her life at once. Her body expanded to the extreme, almost 20 years old.
Huge rice!
At the same time, Ji Xing's feet suddenly turned into a tangle of syrup. Owen's high-heat fist, Katakuri's glutinous rice halberd, and Smoothie's Juicing Knife rushed towards Ji Xing from three directions!
"In the way! Get out of your way!" Big Mom's roar exploded with thunder.
Katakuri also responded with a domineering look: "Mom! We haven't listened to you for a long time, haven't we?! Nutuan stabs!"...
Ji Xing's black sword flipped over, and the ring sword wind swept out. The four people flew away with blood in an instant, and Dafu's demon was directly killed.
During the flying, Katakuri tore off his scarf and grinned with a big mouth: "Is this the strongest in the world? Ji Xing, let our family... experience your strength again!"
"ah--"
Owen roared.
Smoothie howled.
Dafu grinds his belly to produce sparks.
Bigmom watched silently as they were injured and bleeding for the second time, and finally raised their swords and fell!
Katsa——
The violent shock wave tore the sweet castle into pieces, cracked the sky, gathered dark clouds, and created a scene of doomsday over Cake Island!
…
On the coast, the other Big Mom children who came to Cake Island evacuated the civilians and followed Katakuri's order to stand by on the coast.
As soon as the magnificent shock wave erupted in the center of the island, they immediately felt it, and the subsequent increasingly obvious strange phenomena explained everything.
There are people fighting at the castle!
Is my mother really out of trouble? Can Katakuri-nii and the others lock her up again?
They gathered together, thinking about it but not daring to go. They waited nervously for half an hour before the shock and vibration in the center finally stopped.
"...Is it over?"
"Who won? We..."
A few of the stronger children hesitantly formed a team to go explore, leaving the others to wait for news.
At this time, the lion fur tribe Pokomus suddenly jumped out: "Everyone, wait a minute! The battle just now is not necessarily between mother and Katakuri! Before, we found that the world's strongest man, Holo, appeared on the cake.
On the island!”
"……What?!"
"Holo?! The monster who defeated Mom and Kaido together?!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"Brother Katakuri and the others..."
"Wait? Who saw Flampe?!"
…
On the other side, the sweet castle and square have been completely reduced to ruins, and even the top floor of the cake island is almost collapsed.
Bigmom's body returned to normal size, and even lost a bit of weight. She lay on the ground with her hair disheveled, blood staining her body red, and her eyes looked at the sky in confusion, as if she felt something was missing.
At this moment something was put into his hand.
She raised her hand to grab it and put it in front of her eyes.
It was a photo of an old lady wearing a nun's uniform, holding a cigarette in her right hand, sitting sideways, looking at her with a smile.
A smile appeared on her equally old face.
"Sister, we are finally reunited."
After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth, swallowed the photo, opened her mouth again, and sang:
"Put Binx's wine~
Delivered to you~"
Suddenly someone in the ruins responded: "Like the sea breeze, you can do whatever you want~ ride the wind and waves~"
Then the third person: "On the other side of the sea~the sunset is also noisy~"
One by one, one by one, they sang together the songs they were taught when they were young. Bigmom's voice gradually became cheerful, and she saw the picture of herself when she was happiest.
Gradually, her voice disappeared.
Several other people also became intermittent, and their voices were obviously mixed with choking sounds.
Ji Xing walked to Katakuri, who was humming and crying with his eyes closed, and sat on a piece of gravel. Just like Katakuri who clearly resisted and imprisoned Big Mom would shed tears at this time, Ji Xing's mood also became a little bit...
It is complex and difficult to understand.
Behind him, a poisonous needle pierced his neck, but it bounced away without even breaking the skin. Then the 13-year-old girl with a bun face jumped up and kicked him, and was picked up by Ji Xing and pinned on his legs.
"Damn it! Don't hurt Brother Katakuri... Hey, who is this?" Flamper, who had never seen Katakuri's big mouth under Katakuri's scarf, even forgot about being caught and stared blankly at Katakuri.
Kuri.
The other brothers and sisters who came quickly not far away saw Big Mom's body at first sight. They instantly looked horrified and froze in place!
"Mom...was..."
"That guy..."
Startled, frightened, at a loss.
The girl with blue and white hair gritted her teeth and pulled out the long knife, pointing at Ji Xing: "Let go of Flampe! Get away from Katakuri-san!"
Ji Xing looked at her, seeing the familiar arm armor, familiar long knife, and familiar two-jointed arm.
"Mukulu, come and eat two pieces of walnuts."
"..."
With a clang, the long knife fell to the ground.
On January 28, 1520 in the Hainan calendar, the most powerful female pirate in history, the Pirate Emperor Charlotte Lingling and her children faced the world's strongest Holo.
