The lightning baptism continued.
Immediately, all the Charlotte Family cadres with remaining strength displayed their unique abilities, protecting their siblings nearby and sending them all into Brulee's Mirror World.
Reno watched the scene below with an impassive expression, not deliberately stopping them.
As he had said before, those who managed to survive today were receiving his final act of mercy.
"Reno, stop it! Do you want to destroy all of Totto Land?!"
"We're willing to go with you, just stop it!!!"
Helpless Galette and Flampe stomped their feet in frustration.
In that short time, over a third of the people had already fallen to the ground, completely lifeless.
Even the guests suffered collateral damage.
It's worth noting that most of these people had business dealings with the Big Mom Pirates.
They were also partners of the Big Mom Pirates.
If they died, many of Big Mom's underworld businesses would stagnate, severely affecting development.
"Bastard!!"
Snag, one of the Sweet Commanders, gripped his katana tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Everyone, let's attack together and stop him now!"
As soon as he spoke, Snag's corpulent body leaped into the air.
His large katana, carrying the force to cleave mountains, fiercely slashed towards Reno.
"Reno, die!!"
At the same time, several other cadres also joined in.
A burly man with a handlebar mustache, wearing a blue padded jacket, and possessing slender limbs, rubbed his body with both hands.
Soon, a Genie made of smoke was summoned from his belt.
The Minister of Beans.
Charlotte Daifuku, the third son of the Charlotte Family and a Paramecia-type Steam-Steam Devil Fruit Ability user, launched his attack.
"Genie Slash!!"
Charlotte Daifuku roared, and the Genie's gaze suddenly fixated on Reno. The smoke quickly elongated, and the long blade in his hand fiercely slashed towards Reno.
"Reno, Totto Land is not a place for you to run wild!!!"
"Die, you bastard!!"
The speaker was a tall, burly man with a bare upper body and orange hair styled in three fan-shaped sections.
The fourth son of the Charlotte Family, the Minister of Baking.
Charlotte Oven, a Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Devil Fruit Ability user.
He was also Katakuri and Daifuku's full brother.
"Heatwave Fist!!!"
With his Devil Fruit Ability activated, his body visibly began to glow red, and the surrounding temperature rapidly increased.
Oven threw a punch, and a scorching hot wave of heat rushed towards Reno like a tsunami.
"Juice Giant!!!"
A delicate shout came.
Smoothie, the only female powerhouse among the Sweet Commanders, used her Squeeze-Squeeze Devil Fruit Ability to drain several small fry, after which her body grew as tall as a giant.
She swung her long blade, and a flying slash several tens of meters long tore through the air, directly cutting towards Reno.
Four powerful cadres of the Charlotte Family simultaneously unleashed their killing moves, attacking Reno.
Facing the four's attacks, Reno's lips curled into a cold sneer.
"Your courage is commendable, but you're like an ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating yourselves!"
Reno snapped his fingers, and the magic blade thousand blades shattered into countless blade fragments.
Spinning at high speed, imbued with high-density Armament Haki: Ryuo, they ferociously shot towards Daifuku and the other three.
Lightning tore through the surrounding air, and the blade fragments broke through the four's attacks.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Countless blade fragments, enveloped by lightning and Ryou, crushed the four's attacks like decaying wood and pierced through their bodies.
"Ah!!!"
"Bastard!!!"
"Reno, you %￥%..."
Like needle and thread, countless silver-white lines weaved back and forth through the four's bodies, patching them up.
Their Haki defense, at this moment, was as fragile as thin paper.
Each scream was accompanied by the blooming of a seductive blood flower.
In just a few seconds, the four's bodies were riddled with holes, like sieves.
Blood spurted out as if it were worthless.
"Die!!"
Reno's gaze suddenly sharpened, and the blade fragments, one after another, pierced through the four's heads.
With a bang, red and white matter exploded.
Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Daifuku, Charlotte Oven, and Snag's eyes widened, their faces still showing an unspeakable terror.
The next second, the four rolled their eyes and successively fell into pools of blood.
They were as dead as could be!
"No!!!"
Katakuri's eyes were bloodshot, and his molars ground together, making a grating sound.
The four who died were not only his younger siblings but also the mainstays of the Big Mom Pirates.
Their deaths would undoubtedly severely weaken Big Mom.
The people in the safe zone had long been so terrified by the scene before them that they lost control of their expressions.
The Big Mom Pirates, an existence they looked up to.
Now, they were screaming, wailing, and then one by one dying before their eyes.
Who could remain indifferent after seeing that?
"Is this the legendary Reno?!"
Judge's expression was blank, and he murmured in a daze.
The Big Mom Pirates, a powerful existence he had always dreamed of associating with.
A hegemonic force on the sea.
Before Reno, they were like chickens and dogs.
Watching one powerful cadre after another fall, Judge felt disoriented, a sense of unreality.
Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji, the three modified humans, watched the scene with impassive faces.
As if nothing could move them.
Reiju rested her elbows on the table, supporting her chin with her hands, gazing blankly at Reno, who was battling the Charlotte Family cadres.
She wondered what she was thinking.
"It's going to be huge, it's really going to be huge this time!!"
"Reno just entered the New World and took down a Four Emperors' Crews. Is there any news more explosive than this?"
From a safe position, Morgans' camera was focused on Reno the entire time.
One-shotting four powerful cadres of the Big Mom Pirates—what Sweet Commander, what Minister—facing Reno, it was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Morgans pressed the shutter, capturing every exciting moment of Reno.
He also glanced at a spot not far away with his peripheral vision.
Three corpses lay there.
They were none other than the King of Shipping, the King of Killers, and the King of Loan Sharks.
"Hehehe, it's just your bad luck."
Morgans sneered and mocked them.
If these three had been as farsighted as he was, they wouldn't have died so miserably.
On the other side, Stussy used Moonwalk to ascend an undamaged tall building, overlooking the entire battlefield.
"That hateful guy, he really is targeting me!!"
She looked at Reno in the distance, her eyes filled with resentment.
Just now, she had planned to slip away.
No matter what Reno's purpose was, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Who would have thought that just as she was about to step out the door, a bolt of lightning landed on her path without any warning?
It was only a meter away from her body.
Helpless, Stussy could only return the way she came.
She had a more important mission and absolutely could not fall into Reno's hands.
Thinking of this, Stussy's mind raced, and she started plotting again.
Reno casually glanced at Stussy on the tall building, a playful curve forming on his lips.
The entire Totto Land was enveloped by his Observation Haki. Did she still think she could escape right under his nose?
Once he got his hands on her, he would have to properly "train" her.
To taste what this vixen was truly like.
Withdrawing his gaze, Reno looked up at Big Mom, whose pupils were spinning, and said with a half-smile, "Big Mom, do you like this gift I gave you?!"
Under his teasing gaze, Big Mom swayed, bumping around like she was drunk.
A terrifyingly powerful aura gathered within her body.
Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon, the three major soul Homies, sensing Big Mom's condition, suddenly transformed.
The three ferocious weapons guarded Big Mom, collectively protecting the Soul Queen.
Not getting a response from Big Mom, Reno shook his head, bored.
The obese woman before him, in her youth, was also a stunning beauty renowned across the sea.
Even compared to Hancock and Nami, she was no less impressive.
However, to build the utopia in her heart, she began to have intimate relations with men without restraint.
Every day, she was either giving birth or on her way to giving birth.
Day after day, year after year.
Over time, Big Mom transformed into her current monstrous appearance.
But from another perspective, under these circumstances, Big Mom could still firmly hold her position as one of the Yonko of the sea.
It was enough to show how abnormal her Steel Balloon Talent was.
On the high seas, truly no one could surpass her.
After a moment of pity for Big Mom, Reno suddenly vanished from his spot.
Above Big Mom's head, Reno flashed out of the lightning.
He looked at Big Mom expressionlessly, and countless blade fragments re-condensed!
Reno gripped his magic blade thousand blades, aimed at Big Mom's neck, and swung his sword!
"Stop!!!"
At the critical moment, Katakuri quickly arrived.
"Slash, Cut, Mochi!!!"
Katakuri let out a low growl, activating his Paramecia Devil Fruit Ability, Mochi-Mochi Fruit.
His left arm quickly transformed into a spiked club, immediately coated with pure Armament Haki.
In a high-speed spin, he blocked Reno's fatal blow.
"Reno, I won't let you hurt Mama!!!"
Katakuri's aura surged around him; he showed no fear facing Reno.
In his future vision.
He had personally seen Reno cut off Big Mom's head with a single sword.
Katakuri absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Even if the Big Mom Pirates suffered heavy losses, even crippling ones.
As long as Big Mom was alive, the Big Mom Pirates would have a day to rise again.
All of them could die, but Big Mom could not.
"Mama, wake up quickly!!!"
Katakuri shouted loudly.
Big Mom remained unresponsive.
Once her eating disorder flared up, she would remain in that state unless she ate her favorite sweets and food.
Reno's face completely darkened.
"Katakuri, since you..."
Before Reno finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.
The dizzy Big Mom, her mental world finally reached its breaking point and completely collapsed.
"Ah!!!"
Big Mom let out a piercing roar towards the sky.
Reno flashed away, his brows tightly furrowed.
This was absolutely the most ear-splitting sound he had ever heard.
The rolling sound waves, mixed with Conqueror's Haki, swept out in all directions like a tsunami.
"Mama, stop quickly!!!"
"Ah! My head hurts so much!"
"Damn it, why now of all times!"
"..."
The Charlotte Family executives, who had just dodged the lightning, hadn't had time to rejoice before being violently impacted by Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki.
In their daze, they were completely engulfed by the Thunder Sea.
Amidst screams, they fell silent.
Under the impact of the powerful Conqueror's Haki, several more Charlotte Family executives fell unconscious.
At this moment, everyone present became Big Mom's indiscriminate attack target.
Morgans, caught off guard, was directly knocked unconscious.
Stussy and the Vinsmoke Family retreated to a farther, safer position.
Katakuri, being closest to Big Mom, bore the brunt of it.
The powerful Conqueror's Haki swept over him, making even him momentarily dazed.
Only Reno on the entire scene was unaffected.
After all, his Conqueror's Haki was only stronger, not weaker, compared to Big Mom's.
"Good opportunity!"
With a ripping sound, Reno reappeared above Big Mom's head.
At this moment, Big Mom, already controlling her three Homies, began to cause destruction wildly.
"Reno, what do you want to do?"
"I warn you, don't have any ideas about Mama!"
"Quickly attack, don't let him harm Mama!!!"
The three ferocious-looking Soul Homies glared at Reno, full of vigilance and caution.
"Stolen Fire!!!"
"Indra!!!"
At Napoleon's reminder, the Sun Homie Prometheus and the Thundercloud Homie Zeus decisively attacked Reno.
"A bunch of annoying guys!!!"
Reno snorted coldly, swung his magic blade thousand blades, and directly chopped the three Soul Homies into skin fragments.
While they were re-condensing, Reno swung another strike.
The magic blade thousand blades suddenly flashed across Big Mom's neck.
Big Mom's top-tier defense was instantly broken by the slash, which was imbued with Thunder Power, Armament Haki: Ryuo, and Conqueror's Haki Coating.
Under everyone's terrified gazes, a head with swirling pupils detached from the giant body.
A pillar of blood shot into the sky.
"Mama!!!"
"No!!!"
"Mama is dead, Mama was killed by Reno!!!"
"..."
Galette and Flampe cried out in despair, running quickly towards Big Mom's direction.
Other family executives also showed sorrow and wept loudly.
Even Katakuri was stunned in place, his brain completely crashed, a blank.
"Reno actually killed Big Mom??"
On the high-rise, Stussy's brows furrowed slightly.
As one of the Yonko, Big Mom had complex connections.
She held an extremely important position on the Grand Line.
Her death would trigger a chain reaction, shaking the entire sea.
"No, I must leave here quickly."
For the first time, panic appeared on Stussy's face.
With Big Mom dead, the other family executives were just small fry in front of Reno.
After he dealt with them, Reno would come for her.
She absolutely could not fall into Reno's hands.
Thinking of this, Stussy no longer hesitated, leaped from the high-rise, and quickly fled.
Just as she thought Reno hadn't noticed her, the moment her high heel stepped out the door again.
Boom!
Boom!!!
It seemed like a warning.
Silver-white lightning, even thicker than before, blasted a circle of charred marks around her.
Stussy subconsciously swallowed, then slumped to the ground in despair.
Waiting for her impending fate.
On the other side.
"Dead, Big Mom is really dead!!!"
Judge, losing control of his expression, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
He felt like he was truly going to break down.
No words could express his feelings at this moment.
Death was not terrifying, but the process of waiting for death was the most frightening.
Even the high and mighty Big Mom had been killed by Reno.
If Reno obtained Germa's technology, would their fate be the same as Big Mom's?!
In a mix of panic and unease, Judge painstakingly awaited Reno's judgment.
Compared to him, Reiju was quite calm.
She only regretted that Reno's gaze had never lingered on her.
Amidst everyone's expressions of panic, disbelief, and pain, Big Mom's corpulent body fell to the ground with a thud.
Thus.
The Captain of the era's Pirate Crew.
The Sea Emperor who single-handedly built Totto Land, Charlotte Linlin, met her demise.
At the moment of her death, Reno immediately recovered the Soul-Soul Fruit.
