The Land of Wano, Flower Capital.
Amidst the thick dark clouds in the sky, a massive island floated mid-air.
At its center stood an enormous skull, atop which curved two massive horns—one already severed, its cross-section unnaturally smooth, undoubtedly the result of a clean slash from a blade.
Even more bizarrely, the island was encircled by rings of scorching flas, drifting like clouds around the brown earthen mass.
Lifting the entire island.
Supported by these flaming clouds, it drifted slowly through the sky, descending towards the Flower Capital below.
Inside the Flower Capital, a grand banquet was underway.
Though night had fallen, the city remained brilliantly illuminated.
On the streets and inside houses, every face was alight with joy.
So released lanterns into the river, while others admired the beauty of the night.
For now, the ordinary citizens of the Flower Capital were imrsed in long-awaited happiness.
Yet, in stark contrast to the festivities below, the situation on Onigashima was one of utter devastation.
The battle for Onigashima had begun.
The samurai of Wano, alongside the Straw Hat Pirates and several rising stars of the new era, clashed fiercely with the Beasts Pirates.
Now, the conflict had reached its climax.
On the skull-shaped do of Onigashima, the new generation of pirates faced off against Kaido of the Beasts Pirates.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the floating island within the clouds.
"BOOM!!"
With that sound, a section of Onigashima edge shattered, sending chunks of earth and rock plumting downward.
Amids the falling debris was an enormous figure, tumbling towards the sea below.
Her black chiffon dress flapped wildly in the wind as she fell, her pink hair styled into a half-circle at the back of her head.
Her lips were painted with rouge, her fleshy face rging seamlessly into her obese body—her neck all but disappearing between layers of fat.
From this grotesquely distorted figure ca a desperate cry:
"Protheus!"
"Save !"
Big Mom's body hurtled downward.
As one of the Four Emperors, the strongest female pirate in history—
At this mont, she was terrified.
With nothing to grasp in the air, gravity took full hold of her, leaving her powerless to change her fate.
As a Devil Fruit user, she knew exactly what awaited her if she hit the sea below.
Death.
Her hands and feet flailed helplessly in the air.
The woman who had once ruled the seas with unmatched might now seed utterly vulnerable.
Her last hope rested entirely on her Homie, Protheus.
But then—
A formidable presence suddenly erged beneath Onigashima.
From the darkness, a blur of motion shot towards Big Mom's falling form.
In an instant—With a sonic boom, the black figure that had been several kiloters away just monts ago appeared beside Big Mom in the blink of an eye, moving as if teleporting.
The black figure grabbed Big Mom by the collar, abruptly halting her fall just a few ters above the sea.
"Long ti no see!"
"Charlotte Linlin!"
Hearing the voice, Big Mom visibly stiffened before turning her head in disbelief.
A gleaming bald head ca into view.
"Bob!!"
The mont she saw who it was, Big Mom lit up like a child, her face a mix of shock and excitent.
Not only because she knew she was saved, but also because she was reunited with an old comrade.
Since the Rocks Pirates disbanded during the God Valley Incident, she hadn't seen Bob again—except on the big screen during the last Summit War.
She never imagined their first in-person eting in all these years would happen like this.
Yet, as he took in Big Mom's excitent, Bob's forehead darkened, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"Forty years later and the once-beautiful woman still couldn't escape the clutches of ti,"
Bob shook his head slightly, musing to himself.
Back in Amazon Lily, upon hearing the news, Bob had imdiately dropped everything and raced towards Wano Country's Flower Capital at top speed.
Just as he was adjusting his course towards Onigashima, he happened to catch Big Mom's cries for help.
Thanks to Bob's sky-walking speed, he managed to prevent the old woman from taking an unwanted dip in the sea.
"Seems like the battle's already reached a fierce stage!"
Bob glanced up at Onigashima, wrapped in fla clouds, and spoke.
Hearing this, Big Mom's eyes burned with hatred.
"Kaido's still up there! That damn Straw Hat Kid and the others!"
"And those Supernovas!"
Just as Big Mom finished speaking, a ball of fire suddenly shot down from Onigashima, streaking towards them at high speed.
All the while, it kept chanting.
"Mama! Mama!"
"I'm coming to save you!"
With that, the yellow fla reached the two of them, it was none other than Big Mom's Homie, Protheus.
Seeing this, Bob tightened his grip and tossed Big Mom straight onto it.
"You naughty child, why are you taking so long to save !"
"If Bob hadn't shown up, i would've drowned in the sea!"
Big Mom smacked Protheus beneath her, scolding it loudly.
At the sa ti, her weapon Napoleon descended from Onigashima.
Only then did the two Homies notice that Bob—the sa Bob who had crushed everything in the Summit War—was standing right there.
Their faces instantly paled, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
As sentient soul objects with human-level intelligence, they had lived for many years and had once sailed on the sa ship as Bob during the Rocks era.
Back then, they'd suffered plenty of bullying at his hands.
Now, seeing him again was like mice facing a cat.
"Pathetic things!" Big Mom smacked both Homies again, cursing.
The abused Homies pouted in grievance.
"Let's head to Onigashima first!"
Bob, who was rapidly stepping on the air with both feet, saw that Big Mom was fine and spoke up.
The next mont.
Big Mom commanded Protheus to fly towards Onigashima, her eerie laughter echoing through the sky.
Bob followed closely behind, soaring upward.
