Chapter 694: Crisis on Sky Island
After discovering the whereabouts of Big Mom and Perospero, Law spoke into the Baby Den Den Mushi, “Urouge, Varua, want to try something big?”
“What do you mean by ‘something big’?” Hearing this, Varua and Urouge were momentarily stunned.
“Heh! Of course, taking down a Yonko!” Law grinned. “What do you think—if we manage to take out Big Mom before the captain does, what kind of expression will he have?”
“…” Varua and Urouge fell silent. After a moment, Urouge’s hearty laughter came through the Den Den Mushi. “Interesting, truly interesting! Suddenly, I’m a bit intrigued!”
Varua, however, sounded a bit worried. “Is this really okay? And can we even kill Big Mom?”
Law replied, “Don’t you have confidence in your invention?”
Hearing this, Varua reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately shouting, “How could I not!?”
“That’s good then!” Law raised his telescope and continued observing below. “Now, adjust the cannon’s angle according to my reports…”
Thus, two audacious Supernovas, along with Varua—the scientist eager to test his weapon—set their sights on Big Mom, planning to fire at her together.
Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island below, Perospero sat on Big Mom’s shoulder, trying every possible way to placate her. He didn’t know how the battle between Katakuri and the Dragon Hunter Pirates was going, but just now, for some reason, Perospero suddenly felt a pang of unease.
This unease didn’t originate from Big Mom but from elsewhere…
Perospero turned, gazing toward the castle on Whole Cake Island. He knew something must have happened—perhaps one of his siblings…
“Damn it!” At this moment, Perospero was anxious and restless. Ian and the Dragon Hunter Pirates, this major threat, hadn’t been eliminated, and now Mama was in such a state. Today, everything was going wrong on Whole Cake Island.
His only hope now was that the chefs could quickly finish making the wedding cake, cure Mama’s craving illness, and then bring her back to the battlefield.
By then, whether it was Ian or Capone Bege, they all would have to pay with their lives!
“Not there yet?!” Big Mom’s voice came again. With a bang, she punched away a building blocking the road, roaring irritably, “Hurry up! I want cake! I want to eat cake!”
Perospero could only try to soothe her again, “Mama, soon, it’s just ahead. The cake we prepared is stored up ahead!”
However, perhaps because he had tried to placate her too many times, Big Mom no longer believed him. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Perospero from her shoulder!
Holding Perospero like a toy, Big Mom brought him before her eyes, roaring, “You dare deceive me! Where’s the cake! I’m going to kill you!”
“Ma… Mama!” Perospero was terrified, desperately saying, “I didn’t lie to you, really! There really is cake!”
But Big Mom wouldn’t listen at all. She opened her mouth and lunged to bite Perospero, seemingly intending to eat him!
Seeing this, Perospero was so frightened he nearly lost his soul, screaming, “Candy Clone!”

Because Big Mom was in a confused state, she didn’t use Haki when she grabbed Perospero. This gave him a chance to escape. In a flash, he left a candy syrup figure in Big Mom’s hand, and his real body slipped out of her grasp.
Big Mom bit into the candy figure Perospero had created, biting off half its body in one gulp, crunching it in her mouth.
Perospero, who had narrowly escaped, was drenched in cold sweat. Seizing the opportunity, he hurriedly ran. He knew that saying anything to Mama now was useless.
“Sweet…” After tasting the candy figure, Big Mom savored the flavor. But soon, she became even more furious. She threw the remaining half of the candy figure away, rampaging and smashing the surrounding trees and buildings as she chased Perospero, shouting, “It’s not the taste! Not this taste! Bring me the cake!”
On the Sky Island, Law saw this scene through his telescope and couldn’t believe it. “She… she actually wants to eat her own son?!”
“What do you mean, eat her own son?” Urouge’s voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
“Uh… nothing!” Law replied. “Are you ready?”
“All set!” Urouge answered.
“Then, have Varua fire!” Law gave the command.
In the next second, the bottom cloud layer of the Balloon Terminal Sky Island was suddenly illuminated by an incomparably intense white light.
Perospero, being chased by Big Mom, was desperately fleeing. Out of fear, he subconsciously watched the distance between himself and Big Mom as he ran. At that moment, he suddenly noticed an intense, blinding light coming from the sky.
It was as if… there was another sun in the sky!
Before he could react, he saw Big Mom behind him being engulfed by an enormous white light!
As soon as he witnessed this, he felt an intense burning sensation all over his body, and his mind went blank in an instant.
All of this happened so quickly. There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar. The attack of the Sky Thunder Cannon had arrived just like that.
Although called the Sky Thunder Cannon, regardless of how it was improved, it was still a Thunder Cannon. Since it used Thunderstones as energy, the shells it fired were naturally plasma balls. However, compared to those previously made by Varua, the plasma ball fired by this Sky Thunder Cannon was correspondingly much larger!
It was a plasma ball with a diameter of at least one meter. Since it traveled at lightning speed, it was a matter of an instant from firing to landing. At such speed, it could be said to hit wherever it was aimed!
And Law, as the observer, had directly chosen Big Mom as the target.
When the plasma ball struck Big Mom, it exploded instantly. The intense white light radiated out, almost illuminating the entire Whole Cake Island, and then vanished in a flash.
But although this only lasted an instant, the consequences were astonishing. Not to mention the high temperatures released by the plasma shell, just the countless ultra-high-voltage lightning sparks that instantly spread in all directions, forming an electrical surge phenomenon, were terrifying.
No one knew exactly how powerful this plasma ball was, but it was conservatively estimated to exceed the voltage of the final thunderbolt Ian unleashed on Sabaody Archipelago!
In other words, this was a lightning strike exceeding one billion volts!
Perospero was affected by the electrical surge. The violent current flowing through his body caused him to collapse to the ground in less than a second.
After falling, Perospero’s entire body turned charred black. Not only was smoke emitting from him, but there was also a smell of roasted meat.
Although he wasn’t directly hit like Big Mom, Perospero was still killed by this Thunder Cannon attack! At this moment, even his brain might have been burned away.
It wasn’t just him. The electrical surge continued to spread outward. Everything within a one-kilometer radius, whether trees or buildings, turned charred black.
Originally intended to clear out the Big Mom Pirates’ underlings, the Sky Thunder Cannon was now used to directly attack Big Mom and Perospero. Law stood at the edge of the Sky Island, witnessing the entire process of the plasma ball’s explosion through his telescope. However, he frowned slightly, feeling that the power seemed somewhat less than he had imagined.
The area of effect was smaller… According to Varua’s original estimation, this shot should have obliterated at least half of Whole Cake Island.
After all, when Varua created the Thunder Cannon, he aimed to rival the cannons of the ancient weapon Pluton. Although he hadn’t seen Pluton himself, the Thunder Cannon was designed to achieve the legendary goal of destroying an island with one shot.
As Law was pondering, suddenly, movement came from the charred crater below. Then, to Law’s astonishment, Big Mom, who had been directly hit by the plasma ball, slowly stood up!
“How is that possible?!” Law was extremely shocked.
In his expectation, even if they couldn’t kill Big Mom, they should at least have seriously injured her. But through the telescope, except for being charred all over, Big Mom didn’t seem to have any difficulty moving.
After she stood up, a black thundercloud crackling with lightning floated out from beneath her!
That was Zeus!
Law’s expectation wasn’t wrong, but the problem was that he didn’t know about Zeus—the thundercloud imbued with a soul by Big Mom—being by her side. Zeus had always been following Big Mom, so at the moment the plasma ball exploded, most of the lightning around Big Mom was absorbed by Zeus!
Having absorbed the lightning, Zeus naturally transformed significantly, becoming a massive black cloud. Its anthropomorphic face displayed an expression of ecstatic enjoyment.
The lightning just now was simply an unparalleled delicacy for it.
Instinctively, Zeus looked up at the Sky Island, licking its lips. It thought there might be even tastier lightning up there and wanted to fly upward.
However, at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed it!
“Zeus, where do you think you’re going?!” Big Mom, still in her rampaging state, glared ferociously at Zeus.
Perospero had died right in front of her, yet she felt nothing. Instead, anything that tried to escape from her now would be noticed.
Being grabbed by Big Mom, Zeus quickly said, “Sorry, Mama, I thought there might be something tasty up there…”
“Something tasty?! Is it cake?” Upon hearing this, Big Mom immediately drooled, lifting her head to gaze at the sky island clouds.
Law, holding his telescope, naturally saw Big Mom’s bewildered eyes when she looked up and couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Could it be…
In the next second, what he feared indeed happened. The massive black cloud suddenly moved beneath Big Mom, lifting her immense body, and then flew straight toward the Sky Island!
“Damn… damn it!” Law suddenly realized, cold sweat instantly dripping down. He never thought that this attack would instead attract Big Mom’s attention to the Sky Island!
The Sky Island was in danger…[ If you liked the chapter and want to read more, feel free to join my PATREON page and find 100 more chapters]
