Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 572: Chapter 572: 【Hakai】 VS 【Hundredfold · Galaxy Impact】

But even without the awakened More-More Fruit, a hundredfold amplification was already terrifying enough.

After all, not every cheating son of Oda can casually reach two hundred times.

Dante faced the joint siege of three Yonko-level experts with an expressionless face, appearing extremely calm and composed, handling everything with ease.

"Let him go!!!"

Linlin had not personally given birth to Dante after all, and the other party was even trying to kill her, so there was not much family affection to speak of.

But Kaido was someone she had known for decades, a person she had recognized long ago. Although there were occasional conflicts and frictions, she had always treated him as a family member.

Now, seeing Kaido like a whip being swung around by his tail and slammed across the ground, Big Mom released an enraged Conqueror’s Haki roar.

Unfortunately...

Having a loud voice is useless on a high-level battlefield.

Big Mom gripped Napoleon, while the blade was wrapped with the sun Prometheus and the thundercloud Hera.

"Radiant Cannon!!!"

The power of the natural Homies converged at a single point, transforming into a raging laser that shot toward Dante’s body.

The dazzling laser illuminated everything around it as it struck directly into Dante’s back.

However...

Unlike its usual lethal results, this Radiant Cannon did not seem to produce any piercing effect this time. Instead, it was as if it had struck a wall.

"What is this warm thing?"

Dante, who had been in an unbreakable state since childhood, did not even bother opening his Observation Haki against attacks that were not infused with Conqueror’s Haki. He simply endured them with his body.

Turning around, he saw that the one attacking him was his "mother" in this world.

"Linlin..."

Kaido, who had been slammed around until he was dizzy and disoriented, finally gained a brief moment of clarity when Dante’s attention shifted.

He looked at the old woman with a complicated gaze, clenching his teeth tightly.

"So you should understand the gap now, right?"

Dante released the dragon tail he had been holding and instead turned toward Linlin, walking forward against the laser of the Radiant Cannon as if he were moving through a stream of water.

"Prometheus!!!"

Seeing Dante gradually approaching, Big Mom could not help but grow somewhat flustered. She grabbed Prometheus beside her and smashed him toward the ground.

Amid a sea of flames, those footsteps still did not stop in the slightest.

Instead, Dante raised his head and looked toward the furious blazing fireball.

"Oh? It’s Prometheus. When I was little, I used to grab you to roast meat~"

"That brings back memories~"

When Dante was a child, he did not yet have the mindset that he was invincible in the world, so like many carefree children, he loved to play.

Since no physical attack could break his defense, he would often grab the burning-hot Prometheus with his bare hands and use him to roast the bears, tigers, dinosaurs, and other beasts he had killed.

So, out of this bit of old friendship, Dante did not strike with lethal force. He simply gave him a huge slap infused with Haki.

Prometheus rolled his eyes and fell to the side, lying there.

After slapping Prometheus away, Dante suddenly felt his head grow heavy again.

He looked toward Big Mom with some confusion.

"How many more times do you plan to try?"

Napoleon’s slash struck Dante directly on the head, yet it could not even cut his skin.

"You rely too much on the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, old mom of this world~"

Dante pushed aside Napoleon’s slash with his bare hands.

[Amplification · Hundredfold Speed]

With his terrifying physical strength enhanced a hundred times, Dante moved at a speed almost like teleportation, arriving right in front of Big Mom.

On his hand surged Armament Haki like a raging ocean, instantly condensing.

"In fact, breaking the so-called ’Iron Body’ defense isn’t that difficult, and it doesn’t necessarily require training Ryuo..."

"Isn’t it enough if the fist is simply harder?"

An egg cannot break a stone only because it is more fragile than the stone.

But what if it were a diamond drill?

A pure Armament Haki punch struck Big Mom directly in the stomach, making her almost spit out the red bean mochi soup she had eaten.

Although the Dotor family likes backstabbing, they never backstab their own relatives.

But Big Mom was different.

When her hunger pangs erupted, she would not care whether you were her child or not. Even Dante had once been threatened by a starving Big Mom who had gone mad from dieting.

However, because he felt no fear at all, no soul was extracted from him. Instead, Big Mom was pinned to the ground and beaten by Dante’s monstrous strength.

With such a precedent,

Dante had absolutely no psychological burden when striking her, especially when it was the "ugly old mom" from another world.

Big Mom was sent flying, crashing down beside Kaido, who had already transformed into his human-beast form.

Kaido pulled Big Mom up and stared coldly at Dante’s figure.

"Hey!!! Linlin, this scene feels a bit familiar..."

For Big Mom, Kaido, and the others, Dante’s arrival reminded them of something from many years ago.

A familiar scene.

"Yeah..."

Big Mom spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up again. As she looked at the young figure approaching ahead, a hint of daze appeared in her eyes.

That was about twenty years ago, right?

Just as young back then, a long-haired young man had once challenged their alliance, plunging them into a fierce battle.

"How did we deal with Orin back then?"

Linlin showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, exchanging a tacit glance with her younger brother Kaido.

Kaido rested his spiked club on his shoulder and answered her question.

"We used that move, right?"

"Even Orin back then was in quite a sorry state~"

Before Dante’s tall figure, the two gigantic monsters began gathering surging Conqueror’s Haki, as if brewing some ultimate move.

At the same time, the ground on Dante’s left and right sides bulged upward. It was the power of the More-More Fruit, seemingly forcing him to face this attack head-on.

"There’s no need for that. I wasn’t planning to dodge anyway."

Facing such perfect cooperation, Dante still looked completely calm. Light illuminated his sculpted and handsome face.

His pink hair fluttered high in the air. At that moment, he slowly took another lollipop from his pocket and placed it in his mouth.

"Rather, if you didn’t go this far, I’d actually find it boring."

He gently tied up his fluttering pink hair with a rope. Slightly crouching, he assumed a preparatory punching stance.

Staring at the opponents ahead, a faint smile finally appeared on the face holding the lollipop.

"Crackle—!!!!"

Kingly Conqueror’s Haki surged out like a raging ocean, then compressed and condensed upon the peak of his fist.

A sun-like cross-shaped light source was tightly grasped in the young man’s hand.

Facing the terrifying power produced by the crossing blade and club, he made the same choice the young Orin had once made.

"[Hakai]!!!!"

"[Amplification · Hundredfold Power · Galaxy Impact]!!!"
