Capítulo 565: Chapter 564: The Shocking Turn
But for now, this kid still poses no real threat.
Internal Destruction can only inflict harm; it's not enough to truly stand against him in a unified combat force.
He is Four Emperors Kaido—his Devil Fruit abilities and Haki are developed to their utmost.
To challenge him, one must at least reach his level in both aspects.
Yet Straw Hat Luffy, whether it's his Haki or Gear Fourth, is still lacking.
How can a mere rubber man stand against a dragon?
Kaido's thoughts dismissed Luffy as inconsequential to his plans.
People in front of the screen eagerly awaited the next development.
Would Big Mom and Straw Hat Luffy clash again, or would they clear up their misunderstanding and join forces against Kaido?
Everyone's attention was fixed on Luke.
"Although the collar was removed, Luffy was momentarily freed from immediate danger. However, Big Mom, still furious, launched a brutal assault on Luffy.
The Internal Destruction Luffy used earlier was a desperate move, and he didn't even recall how he achieved it.
Hyogoro saw this as an opportunity for Luffy to master the technique. He stayed put, letting Luffy protect him, hoping Luffy could fully grasp Internal Destruction.
To truly increase his strength, Luffy needed to master this technique under deep desperation.
Hearing Hyogoro's words, Luffy stopped and positioned himself between Hyogoro and Big Mom, trying to recall the sensation from before while blocking Big Mom's attacks."
Everyone swallowed nervously. This was Four Emperors Big Mom.
She had knocked down Queen with just two strikes.
Luffy had been defeated by Kaido recently, and now faced another monster of Kaido's caliber.
Could he really withstand Big Mom's attack?
"Everyone was stunned by Luffy's courageous stance. Could he actually hold his ground? They watched with bated breath as Big Mom threw a punch at Luffy.
Luffy was blown away without surprise. Both he and Hyogoro were driven into the stone wall like javelins. Fortunately, their Armament Haki shielded them; otherwise, Big Mom would have taken them out instantly."
This was Big Mom. How could Luffy block her?
Fortunately, this was Big Mom without her memories, only relying on brute force. Had she used Haki and abilities like Kaido, both Luffy and Hyogoro would have been finished.
Kaido shook his head, indifferent. This kid was still far from being a threat.
"Luffy, now unwilling to face Big Mom's attacks head-on, fled around as Big Mom continued her rampage. If this continued, the prison would be destroyed.
At this moment, Queen finally regained consciousness.
To prevent further destruction, he took advantage of Big Mom's distraction and launched a surprise attack from above. Transforming into a Brachiosaurus, he came crashing down with his most powerful headbutt.
If it had connected, it might have created a massive crater. But Big Mom remained unmoved.
Not only that, Big Mom, who had been standing still, slowly turned her head to face Queen, emitting a completely different aura. This sight horrified Queen.
Indeed, Queen's headbutt had restored Big Mom's memory. She remembered everything.
Just as Queen's fear reached its peak, Big Mom, lying on the ground, began snoring and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Queen acted quickly. He ordered his subordinates to cuff Big Mom with pure sea stone and administer 100 doses of anesthetic used for beasts.
Ensuring Big Mom was subdued was paramount. Queen handed over the fish bowl to the Warden and transported Big Mom to Onigashima to deliver her to Kaido."
This development stunned everyone once again.
Big Mom had been driven back by Queen's attack.
What was going on?
With Big Mom's loss, the previously marginal advantage held by Kaido's coalition was gone.
Now, Straw Hat Luffy was the strongest remaining force against Kaido.
Could Luffy truly stand up to Kaido?
Luffy couldn't even defend against Kaido's attacks.
Queen had also been knocked out by Big Mom's sheer power.
The strength of the Four Emperors was truly terrifying.
Even though Luffy had defeated Katakuri, he was still far from matching the Four Emperors.
Even if he faced Kaido again, he likely wouldn't be able to stand against him.
In the end, the situation remained unchanged.
If Straw Hat Luffy couldn't defeat Kaido, who could?
With Big Mom's departure, the chances of defeating Kaido seemed almost nonexistent.
They had underestimated the difficulty of toppling a Four Emperor.
The fall of a Four Emperor isn't easily achieved.
Even the Marine Headquarters, in their attempt to kill Whitebeard at the Summit War, sacrificed countless resources—Admirals, Vice Admirals, 100,000 Marine elites—despite having the advantage of time, place, and numbers.
In this situation, Whitebeard fell.
Now, with all advantages on Kaido's side, including the final battle taking place on his territory, Onigashima, the alliance's chances were slim.
The power of the Four Emperors was indisputable.
The only possibility left was that the alliance to crush Kaido might not succeed.
If it were to succeed, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
And the whereabouts of Big Mom remained a significant concern.
