As the white burning demon uttered its cry, everything imbued with a soul by Big Mom screamed in agony, including Prometheus and Zeus.
In the original story, Brook also had a similar ability to target Big Mom, who was endowed with soul power, but it was ineffective against high-quality souls, such as Prometheus, Zeus, and the hat Big Mom wore on her head.
However, the White Burning Demon's power now has an effect on all souls, and it is very effective.
"Mom, save me..."
"Mom, I'm going to die..."
"Tsk."
In the future Katakuri foresaw, they were all released from their souls, which startled him. He quickly transformed his right leg into a hard, long one, covered it with black Armament Haki, and attacked the white burning demon.
However, it was blocked by a casual punch from number 4.
"Mom, that powerful approach worked!"
Katakuri hurriedly said, while Cracker next to him was constantly making cookie soldiers, and there were already more than a dozen. At this time, even Charlotte Smoothie arrived. She was the last of the Sweet Commanders, and now they were all gathered here.
After failing to stop them, Zeus and Prometheus all died and their souls vanished.
"Zeus, Prometheus..."
Big Mom murmured absently, her eyes glazed over.
"Everyone... has disappeared..."
"You deserve to die!"
"How dare you! How dare you!"
Big Mom's eyes blazed with fury, radiating an astonishing aura.
"Oh no, Mom's about to explode."
Smoothie said worriedly.
“This guy…” Katakuri’s face was ashen.
"angry?"
The white-burning demon seemed to look down on Big Mom even more: "What right do you have, what gives you the audacity to be angry?"
"Only the strong have the right to freely vent their emotions."
"The weak can only submit or wail under the power of natural disasters."
"I am the fourth creation of Lord Calamity, named Soul Calamity."
“Weaklings, take a good look at what true disaster is. It is a power more terrifying than the wrath of any creature.”
As the white demon spoke, the souls he had just released onto various objects began to gather around his body.
"Ghost Soldiers".
The No. 4 Soul Calamity clenched its fist, and the soul energy transformed into soldiers who were as thin as skeletons, but completely transparent, with white flames burning inside, and holding various weapons, such as swords, spears, or shields.
Under orders from the Fourth Soul Calamity, these soldiers did not besiege BigMom, but instead... began to wreak havoc in all directions.
"Stop them!"
Katakuri quickly said that in the future he foresaw, these ghost soldiers possessed a strength that should not be underestimated.
"Be careful, they... are dangerous."
Just as Katakuri reminded his other siblings, Big Mom had already attacked the 4th Soul Calamity.
Big Mom's hands are covered with amazing Armament Haki. Her Haki is very strong in the original work. She can knock back Gear Fourth Bungee Luffy with one punch.
Soul Calamity also used its right hand, imbued with domineering energy, to exchange a punch with Big Mom. It was almost a crushing blow; Soul Calamity's punch sent Big Mom flying backward.
"mom!"
"How is this possible?! Mom actually lost the boxing match?!"
Big Mom's children were horrified. In their eyes, their mother was an invincible being, a powerful Yonko, and a great pirate who roamed the New World.
Now, they can't even defeat a creation of a newly emerged rookie pirate?
They could see the disbelief in each other's eyes.
Katakuri's Observation Haki seemed to have failed him, as he couldn't foresee the movements of the Soul Calamity. Otherwise, he would have definitely gone up to help Big Mom.
Even Big Mom herself was surprised. The setback made her angry mind calm down a bit, but this was only temporary. What followed was even more agitation.
"Natural disaster for Li Wei... a calamity of the soul..."
"I want you all to die!"
"Number 38, go further away."
Upon hearing the words about the soul calamity, the giant bird number 38 hurriedly flew away into the distance, fearing it would be affected.
After seeing that No. 38 had flown a sufficient distance, the Soul Calamity opened its huge mouth, took a deep breath, and formed a huge vortex.
“Soul Power Absorption”.
Within the suction range, everyone could feel something flowing out of their bodies. Although they couldn't see it, their instinctive reaction was one of terror and frantic panic.
Then, after everyone weakened for a while, Soul Calamity jumped in front of Big Mom, grabbed her, and slammed her to the ground. The speed and force were so great that Big Mom could not resist it.
"Soul Explosion".
With a loud bang, white smoke billowed from Big Mom's body.
As the smoke cleared, everyone saw the Soul Calamity grab Big Mom's head with its large hand, lifting her up. Its demonic face was sinister and cruel as it spoke.
"Listen up, Big Mom. This is just the first punishment. If Lord Calamity hadn't wanted the banquet to be too bloody, he would have killed you today. But if you dare to skip the banquet or show any further disrespect..."
"Bloodbath on Cake Island."
Chapter 419 The World is Shocked!
Big Mom, who had been lifted up by the calamity of the soul, was covered in blood, her face smeared with blood, and her eyes were somewhat vacant.
"Master..."
Big Mom murmured to herself that Master was the most important person in her heart. In the original story, she would go crazy even if there was a problem with the Master's, or the nun's, photograph.
But now that she has been so traumatized and forcefully defeated, she recalls her childhood dependence on her master.
“Master…they all bully me…and they don’t listen to me…Master…”
Big Mom kept repeating these words.
"Mom...she actually lost!"
The three generals were utterly shocked, and not only them, but also the other onlookers were horrified.
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors who dominated the New World, was actually defeated with great force, and by a mere rookie pirate who had just begun to gain fame?!
"This is the price you have to pay."
The Soul Calamity unleashed its power on Big Mom.
"Alive or Dead!?"
"This is Mother's soul incantation!? How can it be used?" Smoothie exclaimed in horror.
“Monster…” Katakuri couldn’t help but say in a low voice.
On Big Mom, some white things rose up in a smoke-like manner. Soul Calamity grabbed them, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them.
"I'll accept your twenty years of life."
"mom!"
Everyone on Whole Cake Island who witnessed this scene panicked. Only Big Mom had ever used soul spells to steal other people's lifespans. How could anyone do this to Big Mom?
But this bizarre and unbelievable thing happened right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
Some people with weak or insufficient capacity for acceptance might even slap themselves in the face, feeling as if they are having an unreal dream.
Unfortunately, the slap hurt a lot, proving that this was reality and not a dream.
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, was truly defeated in a crushing manner and had twenty years of her lifespan taken away.
Furthermore, when the Soul Calamity finished doing all this, the ghost soldiers also caused great destruction to the surrounding area. Many buildings collapsed, and many of Big Mom's subordinates were killed. The streets and dessert houses in the area were covered with splattered blood.
"Ghost Soldiers, return to your positions!"
After inflicting enough damage on the Soul Calamity, it sucked all the ghost soldiers back into its body. With a bang, a puff of white smoke rose, and after the smoke dissipated, the Soul Calamity transformed back into a small paper figure about half the height of a person.
At this moment, the soul calamity spoke in a muffled voice: "Number 38, bring me my basket."
Seeing that the Soul Calamity had subsided, the No. 38 Great Bird dared to fly back and approach, otherwise, if it were affected by the residual power, its soul would suffer fundamental damage and it might not be able to be reborn in the City of Rebirth.
Because it is also a creation of Li Wei, the Soul Calamity, which is of a higher level, will greatly restrain it in terms of ability.
"Lord Soul Calamity, this is your basket."
The giant bird, number 38, very respectfully and nimbly used its enormous wings to carefully carry the small basket and hand it to the Soul Calamity.
After the little paper figure retrieved the basket, it pulled out a flag even larger than itself. It was similar to the flag Li Wei had planted in the Alabasta Palace, only smaller, with a demon-shaped skull and a dense black cloud behind it. There was wind, fire, thunder, lightning, and rolling waves, and none of them were static, but dynamic, changing at any moment, as if the contents inside were about to spill out.
"Number 38, find a high spot nearby and plant this flag there."
The Soul Calamity commanded, "Hand the flag to the great bird."
"Yes, Lord Number 4."
Number 4 spoke softly: "From this day forward, all territories and powers under Big Mom, including Whole Cake Island, will be under the rule of Lord Calamity."
"You may raise objections, but we will take appropriate measures."
"Rest assured, we are not being unreasonable, and we will consider your suggestions accordingly."
The Soul Calamity, which had reverted to its paper doll form, seemed easy to talk to and quite fragile, appearing as if it could be killed with a single blow.
But ever since they had witnessed its power, no one on the field dared to make a move, not even utter a sound, let alone raise any objections.
"In a few days, we will send some of the great creations of the God of Disasters to oversee things. In the next few days, you'd better not let anything that no one wants to see happen."
"Otherwise, it could have terrible consequences."
The little paper figure gently persuaded him.
After saying these words, it rode the giant bird that had planted the flag and flew back towards Alabasta.
Those who remained on Whole Cake Island discovered that, seemingly with the planting of that flag, the entire island began to undergo some inexplicable change.
The hideous demonic skull seemed to be alive, constantly staring at them.
This made them feel cold.
The news of Big Mom's defeat was immediately reported by those audacious and reckless reporters, which sent shockwaves through the world.
When everyone saw this headline, they thought they were seeing things, or that someone had fabricated fake news. But as the news spread, people had no choice but to believe it.
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, was decisively defeated by the fourth subordinate of Li Wei, the Calamity. No one on Whole Cake Island could stop her, and from now on she will bow down to Li Wei, the Calamity!
This news is shocking! Is this still the Four Emperors they know? Is this still one of the kings who dominates the New World and stands at the top of the pirate world?
The Four Emperors are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; they can't be defeated by just anyone.
"Is that natural disaster Li Wei really that terrifying?"
"It's unbelievable! Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, couldn't even put up a fight!?"
"Did you notice that those are only Li Wei's fourth-ranked subordinates? What does that mean? Li Wei has at least three subordinates who can overpower the Four Emperors, and there are likely several others in the rankings who can rival the Four Emperors!"
"Li Wei, Li Wei, natural disaster... This world is not going to be peaceful. I have a feeling that a big event is about to happen."
"We just talked about defeating a Marine Admiral a while ago. I didn't expect Akainu to escape. It seems that Li Wei didn't care about him and ignored him."
For a time, Li Wei's reputation as a natural disaster was unmatched. The entire world, whether it was the Grand Line, the New World, or the four seas, was discussing the ferocity of the natural disaster.
Some believe this is the rise of another Yonko, but many more subconsciously consider Li Wei to be the uncrowned king of the sea, the Pirate King.
Because they couldn't imagine any pirate crew or force that could rival Li Wei. Even the Four Emperors combined probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Li Wei, the Cataclysmic One.
However, what people didn't expect was that just as the Li Wei incident was gaining momentum, another bombshell news broke.
PAS: I should update no more than four times today. I need to take some time to rest. I have to attend a full day of classes the day after tomorrow.
Hopefully, I'll get a spot on the big recommendation list this week. If not, I'll have to cut back on updates next week. This big recommendation is very important. But don't worry, even if I cut back on updates, the articles I leave out will still be published on the recommendation list. Actually, it's hard to say. It seems like the driving instructor I signed me up for is planning to have me learn to drive for six or seven days in three weeks...
