The enchantment's area was quite large, providing easy space for movement within. Whitebeard's original intent, however, wasn't to use this space to restrain Big Mom.
Whitebeard utilized this space to limit Homies' flight capabilities. Within this area, Homies couldn't fly to great heights for a brief period.
"Huh? What's this?"
Big Mom suddenly noticed the enchantment.
"Huh, trying to trap me with this? Whitebeard, you're underestimating me!"
Big Mom retorted after realizing that the barrier was made by Whitebeard.
Then, Big Mom prepared to destroy the barrier. She marched towards it, ready to unleash her strength and violently shatter it.
On the other side, Whitebeard used the power of vibration once more. This time, his target was the sea.
As they were on the coast, the sea was nearby. When Whitebeard raised his hand, the distant sea immediately grew turbulent.
This sudden movement immediately caught Big Mom's attention. To her surprise, Whitebeard conjured a massive wave over twenty meters high, crashing towards the shore.
"Wave attack? I'm not afraid,"
Big Mom said lightly, but she suddenly recalled something. While she wasn't afraid of it herself, she realized that Prometheus, being a ball of fire, was vulnerable to the sea.
"Whitebeard! So, this was your plan all along"
Big Mom realized Whitebeard's intentions. He intended to attack her Homies.
After understanding Whitebeard's intention, the Big Mom also stopped destroying the barrier, and then began to counter attack.
"Zeus, Prometheus!"
Big Mom called out.
Zeus and Prometheus quickly understood Big Mom's command and began conjuring a storm in the air.
The air filled with strong, chilly winds, and the sky poured down rain in a violent downpour. Big Mom then conjured a massive wave on her side.
"Is that all?"
Whitebeard's eyes widened slightly in surprise. Within the massive waves conjured by Big Mom, there appeared to be a face in it.
It turned out that Big Mom didn't use her own power to create the waves; instead, she utilized the sea Homies created by spreading souls, as ordered by her men earlier.
At Big Mom's command, an enormous wave, twenty meters taller than Whitebeard's, surged forth from the sea.
Amidst the violent storm and the darkened sky, two massive waves clashed against each other in the sea.
Originally, Whitebeard intended to use the seawater to kill Big Mom's Prometheus, but now her enormous waves would likely counter or even engulf Whitebeard's own.
A wave over twenty meters tall stood no chance against one towering over forty meters, so Whitebeard continued in using his vibration power.
The sea Homies, under Big Mom's command, clearly had the upper hand, but under the powerful vibrations caused by Whitebeard, the enormous waves soon began to collide and merge.
Before long, Whitebeard's towering wave increased from twenty to thirty meters in height, a development closely seen by Big Mom.
Witnessing Whitebeard's actions, Big Mom couldn't stand idly by. She too began to increase her strength, summoning even larger waves.
Thus, Whitebeard and Big Mom engaged in a fierce exchange. The waves they conjured grew taller, reaching forty meters, then forty-one meters, and so on.
The massive waves on both sides continued to grow, soon reaching a height of 50 meters. A wave this height, if it were to crash onto the island simultaneously, could potentially submerge it in an instant.
However, at that moment, no one considered the consequences of the island's past direction. Such a collision would result in countless deaths among the pirate groups on both sides. It was a suicidal maneuver.
Whitebeard and the Big Mom stared at each other. Both of them had stopped their movements. If they used their power, they could continue to increase the huge waves.
"Whitebeard!
"Linlin!
The two sides commanded the enormous waves to collide, resulting in a violent impact upon the sea.
The tremors from the collision of the massive waves swiftly spread to the island, causing it to shake violently under the impact, and even begin to shift noticeably.
"What's happening? Is it an earthquake?"
"Quick, stop the waves and take cover!"
The fighting on the island came to a halt as the ground beneath their feet continued to shake constantly.
The tremors felt as if the ground was about to split apart, causing panic among everyone. They believed it to be a massive earthquake.
However, Benjamin from the Whitebeard Pirates swiftly took command, ordering everyone to retreat immediately. The battle with the Big Mom Pirates was temporarily halted, and the two groups separated.
"Sanjuan Wolf, you guard everyone,"
Benjamin instructed. With his massive size, Sanjuan Wolf could provide good shelter for everyone.
After all, so many boulders falling from high places can cause some damage, and Sanjuan Wolf immediately replied: "No problem, leave it to me."
Sanjuan Wolf crouched down, forming a circle on the ground with his arms and leaving an entrance open.
"Everyone, take cover here!" Benjamin shouted.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirate retreated one by one, gathering within Sanjuan Wolf's arm circle. Fortunately, few were injured during this time.
On the other hand, the Big Mom Pirates were in disarray as they lacked someone to give orders. Katakuri was absent from the battlefield, and Perospero was being restrained by Jinbei.
Despite Perospero's order for everyone to retreat being issued quickly, only those near his location could hear him.
More pirates ran frantically on the boat, but due to the island's movement, they were gradually drifting farther away from the rest of the pirate group.
Furthermore, within the Big Mom Pirates group, as a large number of people gathered at the edge and the ground began to shatter due to the vibrations, some individuals ended up falling into the sea.
This caused panic among the people. At this moment, the battle between Katakuri and Marco stopped, and they both headed towards the battlefield without hesitation.
"Is it an earthquake? Or is it because of the clash between the old man and Big Mom?"
Marco thinks while flying along the way, realizing that such a huge earthquake would undoubtedly affect everyone on the island.
Marco now hoped that everyone remained unharmed, while Katakuri remembered his brothers and sisters, saving numerous individuals on his side as they made their way.
Katakuri quickly arrived at the gathering crowd and created a massive mochi roof to shield everyone from the threat of falling boulders.
"Is everyone alright?"
Katakuri asked with a commanding tone.
"It seems alright. Looks like it's because of mother's clash with Whitebeard"
Perrospero remarked after he finally escape Jinbei pursuit
