章節 187: It won’t work again!
Big mom had used her ability to take lifespans of other people. One could say that this ability was the most troublesome and powerful out of all big mom abilities.
Why so? Because as long as the person was afraid of dying or afraid in general, he was at the mercy of her hands.
Even someone as strong as Kaido or whitebeard would still succumb to her ability if they were afraid of something.
But what happened next left big mom quite shocked.
One moment Elene was falling to her ability, but the next everything changed.
Elene felt scared. Not because she was usually quite easy to scare, no, it was because the devil fruit forces one to feel the fear…
Elene had felt scared that she was going to die. Not for her, no. She didn't want to leave her newest family. This fear had been with her since she reincarnated in this world. Ever since she felt Ian but didn't know where he was. She was scared she would never meet him. Or die before doing so. And now that she met him and they made a crew, she didn't want to leave them.
But who was Elene?
The moment her soul started to leave her body, she abruptly remembered.
She remembered what her crew had said to her.
They all said one thing as they all bumped their fists together.
"We trust you!"
That was what they had said.
And if they trusted her? Why wouldn't she trust in herself?
All of a sudden her confidence was restored and the soul that was leaving got back to her quite easily.
"NO! NO!" Big mom yelled as she tried to grab the soul before it completely returned.
But Elene jumped backward a bit.
"Surrender or LIFE!" Big mom yelled again. But nothing happened.
Elene snorted.
"It won't work again, you old hag. It appears that I must get serious now!" Elene laughed as she said.
Suddenly tendrils of shadows spread from under her. They all became quite sharp and solid as they started to attack big mom.
Big mom was dodging around this time. Why? Because she felt that Elene was using Haki on her strikes. Specifically Internal destruction.
So just like Kaido, though she was quite durable, she was vulnerable internally.
The spear-like shadows would get embedded in the ground as big mom would dodge and weave through them. One could say that her experience in fighting was quite impressive even with her huge size.
Big mom brought her sword to guard against a strike she wasn't able to dodge and then as she redirected it to the side, she thought to herself that she was done playing around.
"Prometheus! Zeus!" She yelled at them to which they came flying quickly.
Elene didn't care as she continued manipulating her shadows into very pointy ends that would spear through anything.
Sometimes she would make them razor-thin and try to cut big mom, but she would dodge again.
But as big mom brought Zeus and Prometheus, she was forced to start to dodge too.
Huge lightning strikes the size of buildings were launched at her and she would have to dodge hurriedly. She knew that she would not be able to take that attack and come up unscathed.
The area around her hit would be destroyed completely in a show of power.
But while dodging the lightning, the flames thrown at her would come.
Since the shadows Elene can manipulate are connected to her and she was dodging, her attacks stopped momentarily on big mom.
And this was something big mom banked on as she started throwing 'Ikoku' around and trying to hit Elene.
But then Elene got her bearing back and resumed her attacking too. Her strikes were so sharp that they were generating air slashes whenever the tendrils were swung.
The fight continued on in this manner for a while, until both sides realized that it was not going to work at all. They had been fighting for close to an hour like this. With Elene enjoying the fight, and big mom thinking that Elene was not as durable as her, so that she would tire.
But Elene ended up disappointing her when she didn't tire at all.
Though they did manage to hurt each other a bit. After all, it was not as if they would be able to dodge everything thrown at them.
Big mom had some scratch marks on her, and some not so very deep wounds.
Meanwhile, Elene had some burn marks on her arms.
At one point big mom had sent Zeus and Prometheus to the sky and had them merge to create a very huge cloud that rained lightning and fire. This was an attack that was hard for Elene to dodge. So she got burned a bit. Even while using Haki.
Still, though Elene paid back in full as she momentarily pinned big mom in place, and then she had her attacked from all sides with her shadow constructs.
Though Elene remarked to herself that she had to dodge all of big mom's strikes from now on. Though she was no longer showing any fear, she managed to feel a weak headache the moment she was touched by big mom's attack. So her devil fruit was still working. Elene now had to dodge or big mom would tire her using her devil fruit.
Big mom took this chance to up her level. She yelled at the homies helping her.
"Napoleon, Prometheus, Zeus!" She always yells only their names. As she had a connection with her, they know what she was meaning.
Prometheus snaked around her right arm and merged with it after she coated both hands in Haki.
Her right arm from the shoulders down now was coated in Haki and flames.
Meanwhile, her left arm went through the same thing, only with Zeus. Napoleon returned to a hat, as he knew his mother liked to beat people around in this form.
She could set them on fire, or stun them with lightning while punching them around.
Big mom grinned as she looked at Elene.
"Prepare to get beaten, little girl!" She taunted.
Elene knew that she had to dodge around this time once again. As even when she tried to hide around earlier she was easily found out by big mom's homies. Elene made them dispel, but since they were easily made, big mom made more.
Elene then refrained from hiding in the shadows anymore.
Instead, she brought Erebus to her and made it a bit smaller. And decided that she will engage big mom and attack/defend using the sword.
"Bring it on Old hag!" Elene replied with her own smirk plastered on her face.
