HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

*** Jackson POV ***

"We are here to have a tea party! Enjoy yourselves properly."

The moment Big Mom appeared everyone moved heir attention from us to her. Seeing them picking up their dropped conversations from before, they must have been quite wary of what we were going to do.

"Should I freak them out by pretending to go berserk?"

"Please don't. Didn't you want to hear why Big Mom invited us, before we steal her Poneglyphs? We even placed bets on whether one of our guesses would turn out to be correct."

Law reminded me of my initial plan to hear what Big Mom has to say. I mean she must have had a good reason for guiding us into her HQ despite the potential damage we could cause if a fight broke, right?

Surely, she wouldn't think that we wouldn't dare cause trouble just because her whole military force is gathered today, right?

"Well, Big Mom is right, isn't she? We should also enjoy ourselves properly while we have the chance to."

"Agreed. Might as well have a good time, before sweeping this place clean."

Enel and Sabo commented with sly grins before taking off, shortly followed by the others, leaving me sitting with Hancock.

'Nice!'

Enjoying time alone with Hancock turned out to be quite fun during our little trip till here. Especially since she has such cute reactions to being teased. Actually, teasing the snake princess at a yonko's party sounds pretty 'fun' to me.

"Here Hancock, say ah."

Grabbing a plate with cake, I offered to feed her a bite, at which she first stared for a while then cutely accepted while blushing. That in itself was cute like a Hancock chibi version, but I still have more moves to play.

"Now you feed me a bite and we can consider it practise for our wedding."

*POOOOOF!*

Of course, I said so in an obviously joking manner but for some reason smoke rose from her head as she became unable to look me in the eyes.

'Did I go too far? Nah, we are not even dating yet, so it should be obvious that I was jokingly teasing her, right?'

Little did I know of the misunderstanding I just caused and what consequences it would bring along with it. Especially after I heard someone shout 'Big News! Big News!' from somewhere around us.

A strange feeling suddenly crept up my spine, so I quickly looked what the others were up to.

Sabo, Bepo and Law managed to engage Snack, Compote and Prim in a strange discussion about the importance of sweets.

Kuina and Robin moved around with Marigold and Sandersonia while occasionally unmanning sleezy bastards that hit them with slimy invitations to have sex.

On the other hand, Sachi, Penguin and Enel were busy trying to pull some bitches for themselves but so far without luck.

Only Tahm Kench and Augur were trying different kind of sweets and occasionally engaging in some small talk with others.

Shady business talk and underhanded schemes as well as rumours and intel were openly discussed in an atmosphere that made it look like a normal thing to do.

After some Time, one of Big Mom's officers finally came over.

"It seems like you and your crew friends enjoy the tea party. That is good."

It was Perospero. Not my favourite choice but whatever. He started with some boring small talk before finally telling me that Big Mom wants to discuss something with me.

On a side note, as I was standing up and following him, I noticed that Hancock was still bright red and mumbling something, as if she was daydreaming.

*** 3rd Person POV***

Big Mom stood up. After receiving various offering and gifts from people who attended her party, she sent Perospero to bring Jackson before standing up and moving to the back of the floor.

There, a huge mirror was prepared. Big Mom making a move made a lot of people look over. Standing in front of mentioned mirror, she waited until Jackson arrived before her loud voice resounded throughout her surroundings.

"Let's talk somewhere more private. Follow me."

With a smile still on her lips, Big Mom alongside Brulee and Jackson, walked through her mirror leaving most guests wondering what they were going to discuss.

"Hey. Any idea what this is about?"

Sabo approached Katakuri, whom he was sure, knew what Big Mom was planning.

"You will know once they come back. That is all I can tell you know."

Sitting with crossed arms and his usual cold look, he answered shortly, leaving Sabo as clueless as he was before.

A few minutes went by, before someone stepped through the mirror again. Brulee and Big Mom returned, accompanied by Zeus and Prometheus but for some reason, Jackson didn't come out yet.

*Sight*

Sabo heard Katakuri and judging by how the look in his eyes changed it didn't take a genius to understand what would happen next.

"Negotiation failed. Give the signal."

It was Big Mom talking and as soon as she finished, a flare was shot from somewhere followed by the entrance gate swinging open and her soldiers rushing in.

*POW*

Katakuri also moved instantly vanishing from his seat and appearing behind Sabo. He attacked him with his fist clad in haki, but Sabo turned around and countered with his own punch. Their fists met, causing the floor under their feet to crack whereas a strong shockwave blew away nearby chairs, tables and party guests.

"So far, it seems like Robin might win our little bet."

Flashing a cocky smile, the vice captain of the Jackson-Pirates commented before his fist overpowered Katakuri and pushed him back.

A flick of his hand caused their crews weapons, which he sent into a cloud before coming here, to fall towards their respective wielder.

*Snap*

"No, you won't!"

Katakuri's eyes lit up with a red light as he used advanced observation haki. He instantly dashed towards Sabo as 4 mochi rings appeared above his head, out of which square formed fists came shooting towards Sabo but he didn't make it in time.

Just like in his foresight, Sabo simply snapped with his fingers before the whole top floor of Big Mom's castle started to break apart and float according to his will.

In a matter of seconds most soldiers lost their footing and fell through the cracks or were squashed by huge chunks of this floor.

Much to Katakuri's surprise Sabo's eyes also lit up in red as he used advanced observation haki to dodge all his incoming attacks and gain distance from him.

Their first few exchanges of hits came to stand still for a moment before Sabo's instincts warned him of incoming danger as a huge figure overshadowed him.

"You Brat..."

Big Mom mumbled whit her gaze fixed at Sabo.

"How dare you damage my castle?!"

She was just standing there, livid about what he just did. Even while simply standing still with Zeus and Prometheus floating beside her, she emitted enough pressure to wipe all leisure from Sabo's face.

"Napoleon!"

Grabbing her hat, which then turned into a cutlass, she angrily swung at Sabo with enough strength and speed to generate destructive air pressure around her.

Katakuri didn't attack and chose to observe Sabo. A crimson aura sprung forth from his body and engulfed him and his weapon turning his metal pipe pitch black.

*Crackle*Crackle*

Grabbing the pipe with both hands, before taking a wide stance, Sabo parried Big Mom's attack. As her sword and his pipe were about to meet, black lightning emerged from the space between their weapons.

*BOOOOOMM!!!*

An enormous shockwave, much bigger and way more destructive than the one before, spread, with them as the centre. Black lightning danced and shot through hte air, as conqueror's haki was unleashed.

"What the…!"

Katakuri was shocked. He watched them closely and immediately noticed that their weapons aren't even touching, yet still unleashed such power.

Big Mom almost forgot her anger from the shock and surprise. The brat in front of her, who isn't even a captain, managed to block her attack. He had conqueror's haki and he knew how to clad himself and his weapon with it.

"Shambles."

But Sabo wasn't alone. Switching places with some floating rubble, Kuina appeared next to big mom, with her sword already drawn out of it's sheath. Black lightning danced around her blade as well.

"Black Getsuga Tenshou!"

A ferocious looking dark slash attack came flying at Big Mom from her side. Still interlocked with Sabo, she defended by cladding herself in conquerors haki, whish clashed with the slash attack.

It stopped in the air, a few centimetres from her skin, but like a hungry beast, the Black Getsuga Tenshou kept gnawing and pushing until it pushed Big Mom off her feet and sent her flying.

*CRASH!*

"MAMAAAA!!!"

Everyone, who was free enough to watch the clash amidst the chaos was taken aback. As a yonko, Big Mom is one of the strongest people on this planet, yet she was sent flying. Though all their worries turned out to be unnecessary.

"WRRAAAAHHHHH!!!! You damn brats!!!"

Dusting herself off, she stood up and screamed in rage. A violent storm followed her wrath, as she unleashed more of her conqueror's haki. Her show of power was very impressive and made her look like an unbeatable monster, but people still noticed one detail.

Her left arm. The side from which Kuina attacked, was bleeding. She managed to injure Big Mom while the later fully defended herself. She successfully cut into her skin.

As impressively as Sabo and Kuina performed, it's still too early to cheer. This was by far not enough reason to celebrate because the real fight would only start from here on out.

(AN: Hey Everyone! Haven't written any fighting scenes in a while so cut me some slack for this one pls. You probably expected a fight between Big Mom and Jackson, but don't you worry I have a plan. In case you wonder how could Sabo defend against Big Mom and why can Kuina injure her let me explain. The current Sabo, knowing all three advanced haki techniques and Jackson's muscle form and speed form, is power wise around the level of Luffy right before !!!SPOILER!!! he awakened his devil fruit. Adding Sabo's own devil fruit powers and rokushiki techniques, he should be at a level where he can take on a yonko for a while, even though he will probably loose 9 out of 10 fights. Kuina, who I envisioned to be around Sabo's level, also knows all three advanced haki techniques and also learned techniques from Jackson like the Black Getsuga Tenshou. This isn't anything new, it was shown around 10 or so chapters before. In case you have questions or find logical mistakes, you are free to comment, and I'll try to address them or ignore them, depending on what you write and my mood. Hopefull till next time!)
