The power of the devil fruits!

"Clap, clap, clap...!"

From afar, applause rang out in the direction where Cracker was kicked away by Nicolas.

With each clap, towering figures emerged from the dust.

With every applause, a towering biscuit warrior, over five to six meters tall, manifested beside the large figure.

These biscuit warriors were adorned with red capes, helmets adorned with vertical mane-like decorations, horns on both sides of the helmet, and belts with the inscription "BIS." They wore a set of black and white biscuit armor.

Their weapons were giant swords resembling Cracker's, and somewhat perfunctory-looking biscuit shields.

Each biscuit warrior seemed like a mould imprint, and from the appearance alone, they were almost identical to Cracker on wanted posters.

"Clap, clap, clap...!"

With rhythmic applause, biscuit warriors materialized one after another in response to the applause.

In less than five to six seconds, over a hundred biscuit warriors appeared on the scene.

"That kick just now really hurt."

Following the voice, a figure with purple hair, three clusters of hair on the head with sparks on the left and right clusters, and a scar over the right eye appeared.

He wore only armor on his right shoulder, a pink cape, baggy trousers, brown boots, and a sword hanging from his waist. This was Cracker's true form.

Cold light flickered in Cracker's eyes as he looked at Nicolas and said, "My biscuit warriors aren't Homies, so they won't be affected by your strange aura!"

Nicolas, meanwhile, remained expressionless as he observed Cracker's ability to create biscuit soldiers. In a way, this ability resembled Doflamingo's String Clone technique and Nicolas's Thunder Clones.

However, the difference lay in their strengths.

Thanks to the original storyline, Nicolas had a vivid memory of many battles, such as the one between Luffy and Cracker. He was well aware that Luffy had to activate Gear Fourth to deal substantial damage to these biscuit warriors.

These biscuit warriors, although somewhat similar to Charlotte Linlin's Homies in appearance, lacked souls and were entirely creations of Devil Fruit powers.

It was worth mentioning that some members of the Charlotte family possessed remarkable talents, and their potential was often limited by their Devil Fruit abilities. Like Doflamingo, Katakuri, and Cracker, they had developed their abilities to the fullest extent, almost reaching their limits.

Cracker had developed his biscuit Devil Fruit ability to a considerable extent, capable of creating an endless army of powerful biscuit soldiers. He could be considered a one-man army!

"How many biscuit soldiers can you create with your stamina?" Nicolas inquired as he flexed his arm, and a long Sword appeared in his hand, resting the blade on his shoulder.

Ikoku sovereignty!

With the blade resting on his shoulder, a radiant white blade aura surged forward, creating a cylindrical shockwave that crushed soldiers underfoot and surged towards Cracker, who was surrounded by biscuit soldiers.

"That's Mom's technique...!" exclaimed Charlotte Smoothie in astonishment.

Not far away, Katakuri's gaze sharpened, and he pressed his hands firmly against the ground. Where his palms touched the ground, a rapidly undulating white fluid emerged, forming a towering wall of sticky rice.

Mochi Wall!

Candy Wall!

The white sticky rice surged upward, swiftly forming a massive wall fifty meters high and twenty meters thick in front of Cracker.

As the wall rose from the ground, Katakuri promptly infused it with Armament Haki, turning the entire wall into a shiny black color.

Controlling the armored sticky rice wall, Katakuri erected it before everyone, attempting to resist Nicolas's Sovereignty.

Boom!

Like a comet, the cylindrical shockwave struck the Mochi Wall with overwhelming force.

Crack, crack!

The Armament Haki-infused surface of the wall cracked under the mighty force of Sovereign Power.

Whoosh!

A fierce gust of wind swept across, sending flying the lifeless husks of many Homies lying on the ground.

One or two seconds later.

As the smoke cleared, the devastated Mochi Wall and scattered candy remnants were revealed.

"He's really a terrifying guy..." murmured Perospero, his face pale.

Solidified candy, mixed with steel debris, was most vulnerable to attacks with extremely high temperatures.

But as long as it didn't come into contact with such attacks, the solidified candy's defensive power could easily withstand even attacks from Giant-class adversaries.

However, in the face of Nicolas's attack, it crumbled like candy.

But no matter what...

Nicolas's attack was repelled.

However, looking back at the pitiful state of the defense constructed by Katakuri and Perospero, the faces of the Charlotte family members looked grim.

Without a doubt, this move was similar to Mom's Ikoku Sovereignty, which meant it had almost the same power!

"If it had hit us head-on..." murmured the Charlotte family members with lingering fear.

Nicolas slowly retracted his long Sword.

"Ah, not bad. But..."

Nicolas looked up at the heavily clouded sky, revealing a smile.

"Many of you guys have Devil Fruit abilities that are countered by rain, right?"

Drip, drip...

As raindrops fell on their faces, Nicolas's smile seemed as sinister as a devil in the eyes of the Charlotte family and others.
