The body of 'Holo Jisei' was buried in the forest where he often practiced with his brothers in the Big Mom Pirates. There was no tombstone, and not many people even knew about it. Only Katakuri and a few people were buried there. Yes, certain marks were made.
He had been dead for more than five years, and his body had not undergone special treatment. When it was exhumed, it had turned into white bones.
Ji Xing admired his perfect frame for a while, then bent down to remove a rib and put it in his arms for subsequent experiments.
They both have bodies forged from Seven Star Pearls, so they may have something in common. His physical ability with the talent of Big Stomach King is much stronger than that of Ji Xing, who is currently gifted with Great Swordsman, so he might be able to come in handy.
Beside them, Perospero and others looked at Ji Xing and then at the skeleton, their expressions dull and their emotions indescribable.
So it’s not fake death?
They thought that after digging the hole, they would see an empty tomb, which would make them psychologically more accepting.
As a result, the body was there and the person was still alive. Whose body was that body?
"Are you...really Ji Xing?" Owen couldn't help but ask: "I don't remember that you have Devil Fruit abilities. At that time, your mother also mentioned that she would find a suitable fruit for you..."
"How about a try to compete?" Ji Xing asked.
Owen fell silent.
Katakuri asked: "What was the reason why I helped you stop your mother?"
Ji Xing replied: "I was threatened. Because I know her biggest secret. The Carmelite nun was eaten by her by mistake."
Katakuri was silent for a moment: "Over the years, I have often wondered why you knew that. Now it seems that there is indeed a huge secret in you, even...before 'Holo Ji Xing' , do you have other identities?"
Ji Xing smiled and didn't explain any more.
"Giggle...Perospero..." Perospero, who was sticking out his long tongue, suddenly let out his trademark weird smile and said: "Knowing so many things that only a few of us know, it seems that there is no mistake. Ji Xing, you really gave us a huge surprise. The strongest person in the world who defeated Mom and Kaido three years ago turned out to be you?
So now...how to calculate it? Are you friends with us? It can't be the enemy, right? "
He asked and looked at the other brothers and sisters, seize the opportunity, this is the strongest in the world!
"It's a benefactor." Katakuri said: "We are very grateful to you for making that choice, not telling your mother the truth, and not letting the world be destroyed. Although it seems now that you did not pay such a heavy price with your life, death Last time, there will definitely be no price."
Perospero breathed a sigh of relief, Katakuri actually said something nice, but the next moment he heard Katakuri say again: "He is also an enemy."
"Because of us, you had to die once. If I hadn't taken you away from Hatchinos Island, nothing would have happened. Now you have the ability to take revenge on us."
Perospero almost bit off his tongue and chuckled twice: "The enemy is a bit exaggerated, isn't this, this is not dead..."
"The enemies are indeed exaggerating." Ji Xing smiled and said: "Even if I contradicted Big Mom in person, Katakuri and Owen still wanted to save me. Although the original intention was wrong, you still treated me as a human being. I recognize the friendship of family.
But as soon as I died, the grudges were resolved. Now it's a bit too much to say that we are still friends, let's just call them... familiar strangers. "
"Giggle...then let's get to know each other again and establish friendship again."
Perospero worked really hard, but the people around him couldn't help him. Irving said: "Then what do you mean by coming back this time? If you just want to tell us that you are not dead, you could have done it three years ago." , why come at this time?"
"First, I want rubbings of red historical texts and other historical texts." Ji Xing said.
Red historical text?
"You, you want to be the Pirate King?!"
Ji Xing shook his head: "The second thing is... I heard that the Big Mom Pirates changed hands, so I came here to confirm Big Mom's situation. Is she not dead?"
Katakuri nodded slowly.
"She's been imprisoned." Ji Xing looked at him and said: "What are you going to do? She is not a person who will give in to her children. You want to keep her imprisoned? This is very dangerous first of all. If she accidentally escapes, you will all To die, secondly...
Even if you can keep her locked up, are you going to let such a female pirate who represents an era slowly die of old age in a cell? Or was he betrayed by all his children and died? "
Katakuri was silent.
The others were also silent.
"You don't want to kill her. No matter how much she controls your lives or puts pressure on you when she is in power, she is the mother who gave you life after all. You cannot bear her life, and you dare not bear it." Ji Xing said.
"So...just let me carry it."
Boom——
It's like another thunder rolls down!
The eyes of Katakuri and the others suddenly condensed, their eyes focused on Ji Xing like ears of suspicion.
Ji Xing repeated: "Let me kill her. We have a grudge. Not counting the time I died, she and Kaido also besieged me three years ago. If I hadn't been superior, I would have died again that time." , so it is reasonable for me to take revenge on her."
"...No, no!" Smoothie said in an excited voice: "How could...Mom, she..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Ji Xing!" Owen glared and said, "How could I let you kill her?!"
Ji Xing smiled: "No? Then come and stop me. I want to kill you. Can you stop me?"
Everyone fell silent again for an instant.
Just like when he heard that Ji Xing was not dead and had become the strongest person in the world, he was at a loss and could not make a sound.
…
Soon after, chaos breaks out on Cake Island.
An order 'from Big Mom' was spread by Katakuri: 'Due to the need to renovate the environment of Cake Island, all residents of Cake Island need to temporarily relocate to neighboring islands for a few days. '
This would have been an uproar in an ordinary town, but it was normal in Wan Guo. The residents were obedient, took their valuables, and went to the dock to board the ship in an orderly manner. They only expressed a few words of confusion.
The only ones who would question it were the brothers and sisters.
Many children of big moms and ministers on other islands in the world did not get an answer after being contacted by phone. Many of them rushed to Cake Island with very nervous expressions.
"What's wrong? Why..."
"Brother Katakuri! Could it be that something happened to my mother?!"
"Is mommy coming out?!"
They were persuaded by Katakuri's silent expression, and each one with fear and confusion, went to the dock to evacuate the civilians, and were strictly ordered not to allow anyone to approach the upper center of Cake Island.
In the center of the cake island, Katakuri and the others, who had made all the arrangements and preparations, took Ji Xing to the depths of the big mom castle.
Come to the cell where Big Mom is imprisoned!
Except for Katakuri, Perospero and others had not dared to approach this place before, but this time they all had the courage to walk in the door.
The big mom squatting in the cell was like a trapped evil beast. When she felt someone coming, she immediately stared at her with fierce eyes.
Ji Xing standing next to Katakuri could not be ignored by anyone. Even if a bunch of damn children came, the big mom's eyes still fell on him for an instant.
Unexpected, testy, indifferent.
Various emotions flashed through her, and her mother laughed heartily: "Why, did these bastards who betrayed me find you as their backer, so they dared to do this?! Or maybe you heard about me and came here to see me? Mom’s joke?!”
Even when Ji Xing was in prison and saw that she was invincible, she would not show any fear. Ji Xing didn't answer. He only took the key given by Katakuri, stepped forward to open the cell door, and then stepped forward to untie Big Mom's sea tower stone chain.
Big Mom didn't move until the chains were completely removed, then she stood up and moved her body.
She looked at Katakuri and the others.
Calm, scary, sad.
She looked down at Ji Xing again: "What does this mean? Are you looking down on me?"
"I am Holo Ji Xing." Ji Xing said.
"……Um?"
"Um?!!"
boom--
The crimson red color suddenly erupted. Owen and others stumbled back. Big Mom stared at Ji Xing with her eyes wide open: "What did you say?!"
Ji Xing said: "I am Holo Ji Xing. I faked my death and escaped five years ago. Now I have achieved great strength. I have returned to Ten Thousand Kingdoms... to take revenge on you."
"You guy...how could it be..."
"Mom." Katakuri interrupted: "Let's go to the castle hall to talk. I have asked the chefs to prepare enough food for you."
Big Mom glanced at him sideways, then looked at Ji Xing. She was silent for a few seconds and walked out of the cell. Then without saying a word, she silently walked towards the castle hall, her steps wavering, still like a king inspecting her. territory.
Ji Xing follows behind.
Katakuri and others are behind Ji Xing again.
Pushing open the door of the castle hall, the fragrance of all kinds of cakes hit your nostrils. Not only the round table, but almost a thousand square meters of ground in the huge hall were filled with various delicacies!
Big Mom grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into her mouth, then walked to the main seat and sat down.
Ji Xing followed on one side, Katakuri on the other side, and the others took their positions one by one.
"Jixing? Ji Let’s compete on our appetite again!”
Ji Xing shook his head: "I died once and paid a lot of price. Now I can't eat that much."
"Really? It's disappointing." Big Mom shook her head and started eating. Ji Xing followed suit, and Katakuri and others followed silently.
Just like the 'last family banquet' more than five years ago, Katakuri and others couldn't eat anymore after eating, and sat in silence with their heads bowed.
Although Ji Xing no longer has the talent of being a big eater, he has deliberately exercised his appetite after returning to life. He can still eat tons of food and spend some time with Big Mom.
After that, big mom ate alone. Although she was already capable of eating, she had not eaten much since she was locked up in the cell. She was particularly good at eating, inhaling everything like a bottomless pit. The delicious sweets gradually made her forget everything, and she narrowed her eyes happily.
Until everything is eaten!
Burping with satisfaction, she put on the two-cornered hat placed in the open space, looked around and said: "Katakuri, Perospero, you guys, go away, don't be an eyesore here, or...you guys Are you going to besiege me with him?"
"Mom." Katakuri said: "It was here five years ago that we besieged Ji Xing. Let's do it again. If we work together to win or defeat him, I hope you can hand over the management of the nations to us. Retreat. If we lose to him..."
"Mom, mom..." Big Mom laughed: "Retire?! I will never retire!
Katakuri, you should know me. As long as you free your hands, you bastards who betrayed me will all die! And I don’t need help from you weaklings. Together, you are even better than Kaido! "
"But we are your sons and daughters."
"Hmph - son? Daughter? The children locked up by my mother?! Hey, if you are not afraid of death, just stay here! My attack will not escape you!" Big Mom grabbed both hands, Zeus and Brand New Prometheus appeared and was caught in her hand.
"Mom, are you finally out of trouble?!"
"Those damn traitors!"
"Wait - who is this guy?"
Big Mom clenched her hands, her huge body carrying a mountain-like pressure, and looked down at Ji Xing: "The last defeat brought me a lot of reflection. In the past three years, I have not made any progress! If you still think It would be a big mistake to win against me easily! Mom——"
"Thunder Fire!" Fire Cloud and Thunder Cloud shot toward the center, and the dazzling light expanded.
Thunder and lightning mixed with flames, causing strange ripples under the surging overlord color, and the space was caressed by ripples!
In the majestic baptism of heat, the table in front of her and the empty plates on the table melted away in an instant. The terrifying temperature seemed to exceed that of volcanic lava!
Katakuri and others jumped back.
Ji Xing touched the handle of the knife.
The knife comes out! The fire is gone! People fly!
In an instant, the world changes!
The big mom, who had a white belly and was bleeding, crashed into the wall with a loud bang. She sat in the ruins and stared at Ji Xing with a knife in her hand in astonishment.
"Mom, mom - are you still getting stronger?!" Then she laughed a few times, grabbed the two-cornered hat sword with her backhand, and consumed three years of her life at once. Her body expanded to the extreme, almost 20 years old. Huge rice!
At the same time, Ji Xing's feet suddenly turned into a tangle of syrup. Owen's high-heat fist, Katakuri's glutinous rice halberd, and Smoothie's Juicing Knife rushed towards Ji Xing from three directions!
"In the way! Get out of your way!" Big Mom's roar exploded with thunder.
Katakuri also responded with a domineering look: "Mom! We haven't listened to you for a long time, haven't we?! Nutuan stabs!"
Ji Xing's black sword flipped over, and the ring sword wind swept out. The four people flew away with blood in an instant, and Dafu's demon was directly killed.
While flying, Katakuri pulled off his scarf and grinned with a big mouth: "Is this the strongest in the world? Ji Xing, let our family... experience your strength again!"
"ah--"
Owen roared.
Smoothie howled.
Dafu grinds his belly to produce sparks.
Big Mom watched silently as they were injured and bleeding for the second time, and finally raised the knife and struck!
Katsa——
The violent shock wave tore the sweet castle into pieces, cracked the sky, gathered dark clouds, and created a scene of doomsday over Cake Island!
…
On the coast, the other Big Mom children who came to Cake Island evacuated the civilians and followed Katakuri's orders to stand by on the coast.
As soon as the magnificent shock wave erupted in the center of the island, they immediately felt it, and the subsequent increasingly obvious visions explained everything.
There's someone fighting at the castle!
Is mom really out of trouble? Can Katakuri-nii and the others lock up Mom again?
They gathered together, thinking about it but not daring to go. They waited nervously for half an hour before the shock and vibration in the center finally stopped.
"……finished?"
"Who won? We..."
A few of the stronger children hesitantly formed a team to go explore, leaving the others to wait for news.
At this time, the lion fur tribe Pokomus suddenly jumped out: "Everyone, wait a minute! The battle just now is not necessarily between mother and Katakuri! Before, before we found that the strongest man in the world, Holo, appeared on the cake On the island!”
"……What?!"
"Holo?! The monster who defeated Mom and Kaido's team-up?!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"Brother Katakuri and the others..."
"Wait? Who saw Flampe?!"
…
On the other side, the sweet castle and square had been completely reduced to ruins, and even the top floor of the cake island was almost destroyed.
Big Mom's body returned to normal size, and even lost a little weight. She lay on the ground with her hair disheveled, blood staining her body red, and her eyes looked at the sky in confusion, as if she felt something was missing.
Then something was put into his hand.
She raised her hand to grab it and put it in front of her eyes.
It was a photo of an old lady wearing a nun's uniform, holding a cigarette in her right hand, sitting sideways, looking at her with a smile.
A smile appeared on her equally old face.
"Sister, we are finally reunited."
After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth, swallowed the photo, opened her mouth again, and sang:
"Put Binx's wine~
Delivered to you~"
Suddenly someone in the ruins responded: "Like the sea breeze, you can do whatever you want~ ride the wind and waves~"
Then the third person: "On the other side of the sea~the sunset is also noisy~"
One by one, one by one, they sang together the songs they were taught when they were young. Big Mom's voice gradually became cheerful, and she saw the picture of herself when she was happiest.
Gradually, her voice disappeared.
Several others also became intermittent, and their voices were obviously mixed with choking sounds.
Ji Xing walked to Katakuri, who was humming and crying with his eyes closed, and sat on a piece of gravel. Just like Katakuri who clearly resisted and imprisoned Big Mom would cry at this time, Ji Xing's mood was also a little complicated and difficult to understand.
Behind him, a poisonous needle pierced his neck, but it bounced away without even breaking his skin. Then the 13-year-old girl with a bun face jumped up and kicked him, and was picked up by Ji Xing and pinned on his lap.
"Damn it! Don't hurt Brother Katakuri... Hey, who is this?" Flampe, who had never seen Katakuri's big mouth under Katakuri's scarf, even forgot about being caught and stared at Katakuri blankly. Kuri.
The other brothers and sisters who came quickly not far away saw Big Mom's body at first sight. They instantly looked horrified and froze in place!
"Mom...was..."
"That rascal……"
Startled, scared, overwhelmed.
The girl with blue and white hair gritted her teeth and drew out the long knife, pointing at Ji Xing: "Let go of Flampe! Get away from Katakuri-san!"
Ji Xing looked at her, familiar arm armor, familiar long knife, familiar two-jointed arm.
"Mukuru, come and eat two pieces of walnuts."
"..."
With a clang, the long knife fell to the ground.
On January 28, 1520 in the Hainan calendar, Charlotte Lingling, the most powerful female pirate in history and the Pirate Emperor, took her children to face the world's strongest Holo.
If you lose, you will die!
