Chapter 177 - 177: Clash with the Big Mom Pirates
"Is that so?"
Mio said with a cold face and disdainful tone. "I think maybe your Big Mom Pirates may die even faster."
"Holding a tea party—do you think no one knows your plan? It's nothing more than starting preparations for the throne. While everyone else is staying low, Big Mom takes this chance to win over allies and make her move. It's a good strategy. But unfortunately, even so, your Big Mom Pirates will be very busy in the coming days. So do you think Big Mom has time to kill us?"
It had to be said, although Big Mom was the weakest among the Four Emperors, she was still one of them. Mio might not be her match right now.
But so what?
"Or do you think you can kill us yourself?" Mio sneered, not hiding his contempt. "Without Big Mom, you don't have that strength. And even if Big Mom comes, she might not make it back alive."
Now was a critical time.
If Big Mom left her territory, Mio believed there were a few people who wouldn't hesitate to act and see if they could take her down.
Besides, Big Mom was someone who could fall into madness at any moment.
Upon hearing this, Perospero's face turned grim. But he couldn't deny that Mio's words made sense. As a major contender for the throne and a famous name in the New World, Big Mom had plenty of enemies. Any movement on her part would draw attention.
The New World today was filled with ambition. Many powerful people were fighting for the throne. To rise to that position, they'd gamble on any opportunity—especially one that involved taking down Big Mom.
"Hmph, you're not wrong," Perospero snorted coldly, eyes glinting with malice. "But you seem too confident in your own strength."
"You don't need Mama to kill you. I can do it myself."
"If you dare to disrespect Mama, then go to hell!"
The tea party invitations hadn't been delivered yet. Though it wasn't entirely his fault, Perospero knew his mother's temper too well. If he went back like this, even as her biological son, he might suffer greatly.
This new pirate crew had dared to insult his mother. Even though they had Conqueror's Haki, how strong could they really be, just stepping into the New World?
As long as he brought back the captain's head, Perospero was sure Big Mom would be pleased.
Of course, he wouldn't underestimate them. Mio's display of Haki alone was enough to show that he couldn't be judged by normal standards. Still, Perospero believed it wouldn't be difficult to destroy the Black Crow Pirates.
After all, he wasn't alone this time.
"Kill them, Katakuri!" Perospero shouted.
A figure burst from the ship, leaping over the Black Glory. Cold eyes locked onto Mio, and the figure stabbed fiercely with a trident.
"Oh? Big Mom's strongest son?" Mio raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing no fear as he tilted his head to dodge the attack.
A strong whoosh of air passed by his ear.
Mio looked calmly at Katakuri, then glanced over at Perospero. "Kill them," he said flatly.
The moment the words fell—
Bang!
Perospero's figure flew backward like a broken kite, smashing the ship's flagpole before crashing onto the shore of the Kessia Islands, blood spurting from his mouth.

Lilith landed softly, her right foot touching the deck, a bright smile on her face.
"The master ordered that you all stay here."
She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.
Snap!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Huge blue wings unfurled behind her. With a strong flap, countless wind blades formed in an instant—over a hundred.
Whoosh!
The air was torn apart by the sound of wind blades slicing through.
They vanished from sight and reappeared near Perospero. Blood sprayed from his abdomen as the blades cut deep.
Katakuri frowned, turning his attention to Lilith. His instincts warned him—this woman was dangerous. But his priority was clear: kill the captain of this rookie crew.
With that thought, Katakuri lunged again, trident aimed straight at Mio's head, coated in Armament Haki.
The air cracked as it thrust forward.
Mio didn't move.
Instead, a figure appeared beside him, calm and still. One hand reached out and grasped the trident effortlessly—stopping it just ten centimeters from Mio's forehead.
It was Bai Feng.
"You'll fight me," he said calmly.
Then, with a flick of his wrist,
Boom!
A powerful force surged through the trident. Katakuri stumbled back a few steps, surprised by the strength. His eyes narrowed in caution.
A sudden sense of danger surged within him.
It was as if... this man could kill him.
Katakuri wasn't at his peak yet, but he was far from weak.
And yet, under Bai Feng's gaze, a heavy pressure weighed on him.
Mio smiled, leaping lightly to the ship's bow and sitting cross-legged. He looked down at Katakuri and said calmly, "I'll give you a chance. If you beat him, I'll let you live."
"Of course, if you lose—everyone stays."
He smiled, using this opportunity to test Bai Feng's strength—and to send a message to Big Mom and the other arrogant forces in the New World.
They needed to understand that this so-called rookie pirate group... could be a threat.
And they weren't afraid of anyone.
If he didn't demonstrate that, they'd only cause more trouble later.
As the words faded,
Katakuri charged at Bai Feng, trident sweeping wide.
Bai Feng jumped lightly and landed on the shore. "Come down and fight," he said coolly.
Katakuri didn't hesitate, leaping down and launching another attack.
Bai Feng raised his right hand.
Rumble—
The ground shook as a thick wall of earth rose between them, blocking the blow.
In the next moment, Bai Feng vanished and reappeared behind Katakuri. Wind howled around him as he moved, increasing his speed.
Then—he kicked.
As his foot flew forward, compressed air formed a sharpened wind blade.
If it landed, it could slice a man in half with ease.
