Ch 157-158

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

"I won"

Yamato was in good mood, she thought that this battle will be difficult, but it turn out to be so easy for her.

Katakuri and the Big Mom Pirates looked at Oven, who was completely frozen.

After ten second, the ice statue of Oven began to melt, although he was frozen, he can still use his Devil Fruit to melt the ice, but it took him ten second to melt the ice, and in those ten seconds he could have been killed. Oven knew he lost this battle.

Big Mom looked at Oven, blue veins were popping around her forehead, she seems angry, but she didn't make any excuses for the loss.

Big Mom gritted her teeth and accepted the loss.

Looking at angry Big Mom, Oven was terrified, he lowered his head.

"Mother, I am sorry, I..."

"Useless."

Oven didn't dare to say anything, he silently retreated to his brothers side.

Big Mom was in a state of extreme anger, no one dared to say anything, the place was silent.

"You lost the first match."

Others were afraid of Big Mom, but not koch.

Big Mom looked at Koch, and then looked at Galette.

"Galette, you also know the rules of the Davy Back Fight, you will be the member of the Sun and Moon Pirates from now."

Galette was happy and sad to hear that, although she wanted to join the Sun and Moon pirates, but she didn't want to lose her family.

Galette looked at her family, but no one seems to care about her, and even if someone do cared for her, they don't dare to say anything infornt of Big Mom.

Galette walk silently towards Koch, every step was difficult for her, she felt sad in her heart.

Galette looked at Big Mom, who was filled with anger. Galette knew Big Mom was angry not because she was leaving the family, she was angry because she didn't get the Road Poneglyph.

Galette walked to the side of Koch and the Sun and Moon Pirates.

"Welcome to the crew."

Koch glanced at Galette and gave her a gentle look.

Galette forced a smile.

Gion and others also welcomed her to the crew.

Big Mom looked at Yamato, she thought that Yamato was still young and not that strong.

Yamato raised her head proudly and looked at Big Mom without any fear.

Big Mom was more depressed, all of her children were afraid of her, and not a single pirate can stand infront of her without any fear, but looking at Yamato, who was staring at her without any fear, Big Mom start to doubt herself.

'Am I not scary anymore."

Why should Yamato be scared of Big Mom. She was not even afraid of Kaido, she even dare to changed her name to Oden and even declared to free wano.

"That waste kaido, how can he gave his daughter so easily."

Big Mom blamed Kaido for everything. Yamato was young but she was strong and even defeated Oven so easily, how can kaido gave up his daughter so easily.

Big Mom looked at Yamato.

"That idiot kaido was really generous, he gave this powerful Mythical Zoan Devil fruit to you, but you still betrayed your family and willingly joined the Sun and Moon Pirates."

"Do you really think that old guy was generous, he is very stingy. This Devil Fruit was given to me by my captain."

Yamato didn't like kaido, he never treat her like a father should, so why should she care about him, she was glad that she joined the Sun and Moon Pirates.

After training her Devil Fruit with koch, she clearly felt the power of the fruit, and how much it increased her strength.

Yamato went towards Koch.

"Captain, I want to fight the second match too, that fire guy was not that strong."

Koch didn't mind sending Yamato again, her first fight was indeed easy, and she didn't used all of her strength.

After getting approval from Koch, she looked at the Big Mom Pirates.

"Who is fighting with me next."

Big Mom didn't send anyone, but looked at koch.

"Let's bet for the second match. You want one of my daughters, so I bet Smoothie."

Without any thought, Big Mom choose to put Smoothie on the bet.

Hearing her name, Smoothie was both happy and sad.

Smoothie was little sad, she always thought that she was different and with her strength, Big Mom won't used her as the betting chip.

Smoothie didn't mind when Big Mom choosed her as one of the candidate for Koch bride, but it was completely different thing now. She doesn't like to be used as a betting chip.

"It's your turn to put the bet."

Hearing the words from Big Mom, Galette clenched her fist, she thought the Koch will put her in the bet this time. Koch will lose nothing if he put her in the bet.

Big Mom looked at Koch and then looked at Galette, she knew that Koch can put Galette in the bet, but if he does, if will be little unfair for her.

If koch win, then he will take Smoothie, and if Big Mom win then Galette will return back, but she will not gain anything else.

Big Mom want that Road Poneglyph no matter what, and if she have to sacrifice Galette then she would do it.

"Let's talk about the bet, although Galette joined your crew, she can no longer be used as bet anymore."

Big Mom said to Koch.

Galette knew that this would happen, although she was mentally prepared, she still can't control herself, there were tear in her eyes and looked at Big Mom.

"You want smoothie, so I put her as my bet, and I want that Road Poneglyph, so I want you to use it as the bet."

Big Mom ignored Galette and looked at Koch, it's not that Big Mom was unwilling to win Galette back, but in her eye, the Road Poneglyph was more important than Galette.

"Galette is my crew member now, so I won't used her as a bet. If you want the Road Poneglyph, then it will be our bet for this match."

Katakuri looked at Big Mom and Koch, althought he admires and trust Big Mom, he has to admit that Koch is better captain than Big Mom.

Koch looked at Galette, there was system light around her.

[Charlotte Galette joined the crew.

Devil Fruit: Butter-Butter fruit.

Combat Power: 18,969]

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

"I will bet the Road Poneglyph for this game."

Koch said to Big Mom.

Angry Big Mom finally heard the satisfactory answer. Big Mom looked at her children.

Koch send Yamato again for the second battle, who can easily defeat Oven, so she need to send someone stronger than Oven.

Big Mom wanted to send the sweet commanders, but she is the who said that the both participating members should have equal status, so she can't send the sweet commanders until Koch send Gion, Stussy or Shakky.

Big Mom looked at her first son Perospero, he is the strongest after the sweet commanders, in fact he is even stronger than sweet commander, Charlotte Snack. Snack was one of the sweet commander because he showed great talent from young age, but snack was still weaker than Perospero.

Among the children of Big Mom, Perospero strength was only behind of Katakuri, smoothie and Cracker.

"Perospero, it's your turn."

Big Mom choose Perospero, not only his strength was higher than Oven, his Devil Fruit was also best for this match.

Yamato showed her ice ability, and her ice will not work against Perospero's candy devul fruit. Perospero Devil Fruit only weakness was fire.

Koch accepted, Perospero was strong but not strong enough to win against Yamato.

Big Mom looked at Perospero

"You need to win this fight."

Yamato just fought the battle, and they already saw her strength and her ability.

"I will definitely win this battle."

Perospero was confident in his strength, he carried his pink candy cane and went to the battlefield.

"You look weird."

Yamato doesn't like Perospero.

Perospero just smiled and waved his pink candy cane.

'Candy Wave.'

Perospero tried to bind Yamato with his candy, his candy were pretty strong and can immobilise his opponents.

"Your Mythical Zoan Devil fruit may have the ability of ice, but I not afraid of of it."

Perospero looked at Yamato with confident.

Yamato swing her mace and shattered the hard candy.

'Candy Shower'

Perospero created a bow and arrows from his candy and shoot many arrows in the sky. All of the arrows reached the peak and start to fall like rain.

Yamao looked at the arrows, and she swing her mace, all of the arrows were destroyed easily, and she took a deep breath and exhale a dense blast of cold air towards Perospero.

'Candy wall'

Perospero created a huge candy wall to protect himself.

The candy wall was frozen from Yamato ice breath, but it was not destroyed.

Yamato swing her mace and easily destroyed the candy wall. That candy wall was strong but it became fragile after it was frozen by Yamato.

After Yamato shattered the candy wall, she was shocked to find no one behind the wall.

'Candy Maiden'

Perospero has already retreated to the other side and formed the giant candy Maiden from the shattered candy wall to trap Yamato.

...

"He is good at range attacks."

"But Yamato is a close combat fighter."

Gion and the girls looked at the battle, they already saw the advantages and disadvantages of Perospero, they wanted to remind Yamato, but were stopped by Koch.

"Let Yamato solve this issue herself. It will be a great experience for her."

Yamato only have raw strength but she doesn't have any combat experience, so Koch want her to gain combat experience from these battles.

"What if she lost this battle."

Koala and Kuina asked Koch, they don't want Yamato to lose this match.

"No need to worry, even if Yamato lost this fight, it will gave her good battle experience. And we also have nothing to lose, Robin already read the Road Poneglyph, so we don't have any use of it."

Koch doesn't care about the Road Poneglyph, Robin already read it, and she also wrote everything on her notebook.

The Four Road Poneglyph are the keys to find the Laugh Tale, but Koch was sure that even after he reached Laugh Tale he would get nothing, when Roger reached the the last island, he said that he was too early.

From all the information that Koch knew, the right time to visit the Laugh tale is when Shirahoshi become adult and awakened her true power, and maybe when luffy awakened his Devil Fruit.

...

Yamato kept dodging Perospero attacks, but she was unable to get close to him.

Yamato was little embarrassed, although she have strength to defeat Perospero, but she was unable to attack, she was only in defensive state.

Yamato frowned, she doesnt like this kind of fight. Every time she wanted to catch up, she would be blocked by Perospero candy wall or Candy Maiden, and Perospero will create a distance between them.

'Looks like he is afraid of close combat.'

Yamato slowly figure out Perospero weakness.

'But how to get closer.'

Looking at distressed Yamato, Perospero began to smile.

'It turn out she is just a rookie with strength but without any experience, it will be easy to win this match. That idiot hot headed Oven only think with his fists.'

Perospero continue to use his long range attacks, and kept a certain distance between them.

They kept fighting for some time, but Yamato never found a opportunity.

Yamato shattered the candy wall again to get closer but Perospero kept keeping his distance.

"You are strong but if you can't hit me, then that strength was useless."

Perospero said to Yamato, but Yamato suddenly increased her speed came infront of Perospero instantly.

Yamato covered her mace with Armament haki and smashed Perospero.

'BOOM'

The collision create the huge shockwave, Perospero was flown backward and slammed at the building.

Yamato belived that she won again, and looked at Koch.

"I won."

Suddenly Perospero came out of the ruins, he was covered in candy armor. He was uninjured, Yamato attack did nothing.

Yamato was shocked to see the candy armor around Perospero.

'Candy Maiden Decoration'

Perospero gather all of the candy that was spread all over the battlefield and created a huge mouth that was covered with dozens of sharp teeth, he fire all of them towards Yamato at the same time.

'BOOM'

...

Big Mom looked at Perospero and start laughing, she knew her first son would win this battle.

"Perospero won this battle."

Daifuku and Oven were smiling.

Katakuri looked at the Battlefield, he has already advanced his observation haki, so he has the ability to predict the future of few seconds ahead.

"No, the battle is not over yet."

...

Suddenly, all the spikes and the candy Maiden were destroyed, and Yamato came out of carrying her mace and smashed Perospero with full force.

Perospero's complexion changed suddenly, he desperately tried to create candy armor but he was too late.

'BANG'

Yamato mace slammed him into the ground, and this time he was truly defeated.

Perospero knew he already lost this battle.

"How?"

Perospero raised his head and looked at Yamato with difficulty.

"I just created a armor around myself. Thank you for teaching me this trick."

Yamato broke her ice armor and replied to Perospero.

"Captain, I won again."

Yamato ran towards Koch, her eyes were those of child asking for compliments.

Big Mom looked at Perospero with anger, the Big Mom Pirates lost the second match.
