Chapter 233: One Man Against Totto Land

Chapter 233 - 233: One Man Against Totto Land 

The sheer force of the Truth-Seeking Orb's explosion sent Big Mom hurtling through the air, her massive form crashing onto the crumbling earth below.

It took everything she had to regain her footing amidst the shattered landscape—

And then she heard his voice.

"This Road Poneglyph... is mine now."

Her head snapped upward.

There—

Suspended in the air, a hundred meters above the ground—

Ron.

Clad in billowing black robes, he floated effortlessly in the sky.

His right hand gripped his black blade, while his left hand held aloft a massive crimson stone slab—

The Road Poneglyph.

The violent winds howled around him, making his dark coat flare like the wings of a reaper.

Big Mom's eyes turned blood-red.

She let out a furious roar—

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"

"HEAVENLY FIRE!"

A storm of colossal fireballs rained down from the heavens, streaking toward Ron like falling meteors!

But—

BOOM!

A brilliant blue light flashed within Ron's eyes.

With a single burst of repelling force, he shattered the incoming fireballs into harmless embers.

Big Mom wasn't finished.

She swung her sword in midair, unleashing—

"Mighty Nation!"

A gigantic purple slash tore through the atmosphere, carrying an unstoppable and tyrannical power—

A strike meant to split mountains.

Ron didn't hesitate.

He swung his black blade.

"Calamity - Celestial Crescent."

A massive black crescent slash surged forward, colliding head-on with Big Mom's attack!

BOOOOOOM!!!!

An explosion of blinding sword energy erupted in the sky as both slashes annihilated each other, their residual energy shaking the very heavens.

And then—

Big Mom's eyes burned crimson as she stomped down hard on the crumbling earth—

And leapt.

Her gigantic form soared into the sky, her hands gripping Napoleon, now infused with—

Thunder. Fire. Haki.

An unstoppable force of nature.

She brought it down toward Ron—

A colossal slash meant to destroy everything in its path.

Ron met her strike head-on.

His black blade, wrapped in Advanced Haki, clashed against the monstrous greatsword—

CLAAAANG!!!

The impact was earth-shattering.

The ground below them—

A radius of one kilometer—

Caved inward.

A massive shockwave blasted outward like rippling tsunamis of destruction—

The very earth cracked apart, splitting into deep fissures!

Ron and Big Mom locked eyes, both of them radiating a crimson battle aura.

Their weapons clashed relentlessly, neither side yielding an inch—

Like two unstoppable warlords, their battlefield was the sky, and their weapons thundered like gods clashing.

The black and purple shockwaves from their swords filled the sky, lashing outward like whips of blood-red lightning!

The air itself seemed to catch fire as the two warriors fought.

The pressure from their battle was so overwhelming that—

Everything within a thousand meters was sent flying—

Boulders. Trees. Debris.

Even the clouds above were torn apart by the sheer force of their battle.

And beneath them—

The land was breaking.

A massive crack split through the battlefield, growing wider and deeper with every second.

It was as if—

Whole Cake Island itself was about to be torn in half.

Ron's long black hair whipped wildly behind him as he stared calmly at Big Mom below.

And then, he spoke—

"Totto Land can stay out of this war... but if you make any moves—"

His tone was icy. Absolute.

"Then Totto Land... will cease to exist."

Big Mom's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Brat... are you threatening me?"

Ron's gaze remained unwavering.

"No."

His voice was calm, yet his next words—

"That was a warning."

And the moment he said those words—

A devastating wave of sword intent erupted from his body.

Ron's black blade ignited with a surge of crimson energy—

A power so overwhelming that Big Mom's face twisted in shock.

Before she could react—

SLASH!!!

Ron's blade cut through Napoleon—

Breaking through Big Mom's attack—

And sending her greatsword flying.

At that moment—

Katakuri, who had barely pulled himself out from the rubble, looked up.

And what he saw—

Made his blood run cold.

A colossal, inescapable, abyssal black slash—

Descending from the heavens.

Like a judgment passed down from the gods themselves.

SLAAAAASH!!!!

The unstoppable black sword wave tore through the sky—

And struck Big Mom dead-on.

Her gigantic form was blasted downward, crashing like a falling meteor—

Slamming into the ground below!

Katakuri's face turned ashen.

And then—

BOOOOOOM!!!!

The black sword energy exploded within the island's core, sending shockwaves across Totto Land—

And at that moment—

The earth-shattering impact finally completed its work.

Whole Cake Island—

Split in two.

Ron sheathed his blade, his cold gaze flickering toward Katakuri for a brief moment—

Then, without another word—

He rose into the sky, the Road Poneglyph still in his grasp.

Katakuri stood amidst the ruins—

Watching in absolute silence as Ron disappeared into the clouds above.

"Mom... lost?"

"This is the Traveler... no..."

"This is the power of the one whom even the World Government dares to call the 'Demon King'...?!"

...

Big Mom climbed out of the massive fissure in the earth.

She looked around at the ruined landscape—her homeland, Whole Cake Island, had been cleaved in two. The mountains were sundered, the land was devastated, and destruction was everywhere.

Her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, her teeth grinding audibly.

"Traveler... Ron! You damned lunatic!"

Whole Cake Island was destroyed.

The Road Poneglyph was taken.

The explosion of the Truth-Seeking Orb had gravely injured Perospero and the Thirty-Four Ministers, while the Three Sweet Commanders had suffered varying degrees of wounds.

Countless members of Totto Land had perished in the battle.

The army of Homies was nearly wiped out, and many souls had simply vanished into nothingness.

One of the Four Emperors' territories had suffered a catastrophic defeat.

...

After seizing the red Road Poneglyph from Totto Land, Ron piloted his floating ship toward Punk Hazard, a remote island in the New World, situated close to the Red Line.

Before long, he reached the island—an abandoned wasteland, its surface still shrouded in toxic gas from past World Government experiments.

Hovering ten thousand meters in the air above the island, Ron unleashed his Transparent World ability along with his Observation Haki, scanning everything below.

As expected, the information had been leaked.

Punk Hazard, a government-controlled island where the infamous scientist Caesar Clown once conducted his inhumane experiments, was now eerily silent.

Caesar himself was nowhere to be found, nor were his test subjects.

And deep within the abandoned experimental facility, someone had planted a large number of highly volatile Dyna Stones—a devastating explosive weapon.

If those fragile glass containers were to break and the contents made contact with air...

Ron opened his eyes, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

"As expected of the World Government... ruthless as ever."

Robin, who had been observing him closely, immediately noticed the shift in his expression.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Ron spoke calmly, but his words sent a chill through the air.

"This island is rigged with Dyna Stones."

Robin's expression changed instantly.

Nami, confused, asked, "Dyna Stones? What are those?"

Conis, Bonney, and Kuina also turned their attention to Robin, seeking answers.

Robin wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead and explained, "If I remember correctly, Dyna Stones are a classified Marine research weapon. They are sealed within delicate glass containers, and once the glass shatters and they come into contact with air, they trigger massive explosions. It is said that even a palm-sized fragment is powerful enough to annihilate an entire island..."

Hearing this, Conis and the others were visibly shaken. Kuina's sharp eyes narrowed in thought.

"Comparable to the Ancient Weapons...?"

"Capable of wiping out an island...?"

Nami swallowed hard. "What a terrifying weapon... And the World Government has been secretly producing something this dangerous?!"

"It looks like they planned to use those things to wipe this island off the map—along with us."

Bonney wiped the sweat off her brow. "Tch... what a nasty move."

"This is war," Ron said nonchalantly. "And in war, winning is all that matters—no matter the cost."

Stepping onto the ship's railing, he turned towards them with a smirk.

"I'm going down there for a bit. I'll be back soon."

And with that, he disappeared into the depths of Punk Hazard.
