"What!?"
"Damn it..."
"It's Charlotte Wilhelm!"
"As expected, that bastard's ability..."
In an instant—
The rough sea roared beneath them.
Only a few figures with grim expressions remained — Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, along with Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, three outstanding Admiral candidates.
The Vice Admiral from the Titan Clan, along with tens of thousands of Marine elites and thirty warships, had vanished without a trace.
Those few who remained had lost their footing and were about to plunge into the raging sea.
"Pa, pa..."They swiftly stepped into the air, using Moonwalk to stabilize themselves midair.
Their strong Observation Haki burst out in full force, scanning not only the skies but also the surroundings and even deep beneath the ocean.
But no matter how hard they searched—
There was no sign of the expedition fleet.
Their hearts sank heavily.
"Ice Age!"
Without wasting a second, Aokiji dove toward the sea.
The moment he touched the surface, the raging waters froze over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A terrifying chill spread rapidly, and the thick ice expanded toward the BIG MOM Pirates' fleet, freezing the sea instantly.
Even the pirate ships were trapped in solid ice, unable to move.
The sheer scale of this ability was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
"Crack, crack..."Hearing the ice groan under their feet, Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, and the others, who had been suspended midair, landed cautiously on the thick ice sheet.
They scanned the area, faces filled with shock and anger.
All desperately searching for the vanished Marine fleet.
"Damn it... where did they go?"
Standing atop the ice, Sengoku's expression turned extremely grim. He frowned deeply and said,"In just an instant, the entire fleet was shifted out of sight... That guy's ability..."
A cold chill crept into his heart.
All around, aside from the frozen pirate fleet, there was no trace of the Marine forces.
Thirty massive battleships — gone in the blink of an eye.Charlotte Wilhelm's ability was terrifying beyond belief.
He had only heard rumors before, but now that the Fleet Admiral experienced it firsthand, he truly realized just how terrifying that kid from the Charlotte Family was.
"What's going on?"
"In an instant, the Marine warships disappeared!"
"Damn it... is this some kind of Marine conspiracy?"
"The sea's surface froze solid! The ships can't move!"
"It's Aokiji's ability!"
Up ahead on the frozen sea—
Looking at the vast stretch of ice before them, where the massive Marine fleet had vanished without a trace, everyone from the BIG MOM Pirates was left stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
Some pirates, confused and panicked, mistook it for a Marine trap and instinctively grew wary.
"This is Wilhelm's ability..."
"Tsk, tsk... so his plan actually worked?"
"Wilhelm's ability is truly incredible!"
"It's insane — he moved an entire fleet in an instant!"
Perospero, Cracker, Armand, Custard, browser, and a few other cadres of the Charlotte Family who were aware of Wilhelm's power, were both shocked and thrilled.
Even knowing about it beforehand, Wilhelm's unbelievable ability left them in awe.
This wasn't just two or three ships — it was a fleet of thirty of the Marines' most advanced battleships. A force so massive... yet even that couldn't stop Wilhelm from using his Transfer-Transfer Fruit.
The thought sent chills down their spines.
For a long time, Cracker — who had held a grudge ever since Wilhelm, at only nine years old, easily defeated and humiliated him — felt his scalp tingle with unease.
Luckily, though he had been dissatisfied with his monstrous younger brother, he wasn't stupid enough to confront him directly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he'd die.
"Wilhelm, that monster..."
Inside the Biscuit Fleet, hidden within his Biscuit Armor, Cracker wiped away the cold sweat running down his face.
He was even considering whether to try and mend his relationship with Wilhelm — maybe through their sister, Custard, the sixth daughter of the Charlotte Family.
Especially when he remembered what their strongest brother, Katakuri, had said two days ago on Cake Island — it had left a deep impression on Cracker.
Katakuri had made it clear: Wilhelm was born with a charisma that none of them in the Charlotte Family could match.
Without directly saying it, Katakuri's attitude had already shown that he would fully support Wilhelm in the future.
And if the day came when their powerful mother grew old, or on a whim decided to retire and live out the rest of her days peacefully...
If Wilhelm really took control of the Charlotte Family—Wouldn't Cracker's position as a general become meaningless?
"Hehehe~ It's really incredible!"
Aboard the Ark Maxim, Gekko Moria, who had now pledged loyalty to Wilhelm, couldn't hide his excitement."That kind of ability... it's just insane!"
"Is this Master Wilhelm's... big brother's true strength?"
It wasn't just Moria — Tesoro, Hancock, Rob Lucci, Yamato, Shinobu, and the others who followed Wilhelm were all stunned.
None of them had expected Wilhelm to make an entire massive Marine fleet vanish in an instant.
It was simply too overwhelming.
"Mama Mama Mama..."
At that moment—
Thousands of meters above the sea.
A tall, bloated figure swooped down, riding on the thundercloud, Zeus.
"BIG MOM!"
"Charlotte Linlin!"
"What's going on? Wasn't that woman still on her pirate ship?"
"Did we misjudge? Were we completely deceived?"
Right then—
As they stared up at the massive figure descending from the sky, Sengoku, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru couldn't help but narrow their eyes in disbelief.
They had clearly seen Charlotte Linlin standing atop her flagship, the Queen Mama Chanter.
"Mama Mama~ Sengoku of the Buddha, it's been a long time..."
Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily from high in the air.
Without hesitation, she looked down at Sengoku and launched an attack.
At some point, Napoleon, the sword in her hand, had transformed into a massive blade. With a mighty swing, she slashed downward.
The giant blade came roaring toward the pale-faced Sengoku below:
"Spear of Elbaf—"
"Weiguo!"
The very atmosphere seemed to freeze.
"Ommmmmm——!"A deafening sound tore through the air.
A terrifying blast of sword energy rushed straight at Sengoku with incredible force.
The sound of burning roared through the sky, and golden light radiated in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, Sengoku transformed into a towering golden Buddha.
Wearing the cloak of Marine justice, his figure shone with dazzling, divine brilliance — solemn and awe-inspiring.
Sengoku's face turned stern.Facing the ferocious sword aura rushing at him, he raised his gleaming, giant golden palm without hesitation.
He struck out fiercely.
"Shockwave!"
"Boom——!"
