Chapter 939: Can you still be considered a family like this? !
"Snag, my son!"
"I can tolerate it once or twice, but if you lose this time, do you know what will happen?"
Snag looked at his mother, the only emotion left in his eyes was fear: "I...I know..."
He trembled as he walked towards the ring, his eyes full of determination and confidence: "I will definitely win this match!"
Ten minutes later...
"How...how could it be..."
In disbelief, Snag fell to the ground.
"Hehehe... What a pity, you lost!"
Gajeel retracted his fist, feeling very happy, because although the guy in front of him was the weakest and had the lowest bounty among all the opponent's candidates, he was still worth 600 million Beli.
It can be said that now he doesn’t have to worry about the money for his child’s milk powder.
"But it seems that natural stuff is better, right? I need to make the little one work harder... or should I? No, no... I can't think about it anymore! Otherwise, I will lose face in front of so many people! ! "
Just when Gajeel was happily experiencing the fun of fantasy time, something strange happened!
Boom! !
The loud noise coming from behind attracted everyone's attention.
I saw that the aunt had appeared on the ring at some point. Her bloated body stood in front of Snag, like a demon from hell, staring at her son with ferocious and angry eyes.
"Hmm? What's wrong??"
Gajeel looked puzzled, then smiled defiantly and asked provocatively: "Do you want to fight me?"
The pirates couldn't believe their ears: "That idiot! Is he provoking mom?"
"Don't worry about him, he's looking for death!"
The fourth son, Owen, clenched his fists and looked at the figures on the court nervously: "The most important thing now is my mother's attitude! We have lost three games in a row. Judging from the result, we have already lost this match!"
The third daughter, Armand, was worried and looked even paler. "In the last round, Smoothie lost, and the 'four generals' became 'three generals'. Snag lost again in this round. Mom will probably not let him off easily!"
Sure enough, the mood of the aunt on the ring seemed very unstable. She exuded a chilling murderous intent, and said to her defeated son in a vicious tone: "Snag...you lost!!"
"You know what your defeat means, right? Not to mention that you lost 7 islands and precious road sign texts! Just talking about this best-of-five gambling match, the Big Mom Pirates lost three games. Even if we can win the next two games, we still lose! How can I survive in the New World ?!!"
"I'm not the only one who lost, why are you taking all your anger out on me?!"
Snag complained silently in his mind, but on the surface his legs were trembling, and he didn't dare to refute out loud. In fact, he was now sweating profusely and could hardly walk.
As a son, he knew best how scary the aunt was and how weird her personality was.
There is no way!
Snag could only bite the bullet and explain, hoping to be forgiven once again. It didn't matter if he was stripped of his title of "Star General" like Smoothie, as long as he could survive temporarily...
"Mom... I'm really sorry for losing the game, but I did my best..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. After he said that, the old lady became even angrier and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Try your best again! Try your best again!! I've heard this sentence many times today!!"
"Katakuri, Smoothie, and you all said they tried their best! I say, isn't it more embarrassing to give it your all and still get beaten into such a mess?!"
No! It’s going to be bad!!
Snag's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a hurry, "Mom...Mom...I know I was wrong! As punishment, I am willing to be removed from the fourth...no, third-rank generals. Please forgive me!!"
The aunt stuck out her terrifying red tongue, the shadows in the corners of her eyes were terribly thick, and she yelled, "Remove from the list of the three generals? How can it be that simple?!"
Then, under the stunned and unbelievable gazes of the crowd, the aunt asked that very familiar and terrifying question:
"DEAD OR LIFE?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Snag's pupils suddenly shrank, and in fear, his soul uncontrollably emerged from his body.
At the same time, the faces of all members of the Big Mom Pirates changed.
“Oh no!!”
“No!!”
"Mom, calm down!!"
"Snag is your son!!"
The voices of pleas for mercy came one after another, but the aunt remained indifferent and turned a deaf ear to the cries and pleas of her sons and daughters.
"What's going on?"
Unlike the members of the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates and the Wizards were all confused and stared blankly at the scene on the ring.
"what happened?"
"It seems like something ran out of him?"
A more knowledgeable middle-aged pirate explained: "That's the soul! Or 'lifespan'!!"
"The Four Emperors, Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin, is the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit. It is said that if you feel fear in front of her, your soul will be taken away uncontrollably."
Some young pirates from the Beasts Pirates turned pale in an instant, staring in amazement at Big Mom and Snag on the ring, as well as the translucent soul that kept overflowing from Snag's body.
"So, she's planning to kill her own son now? This... is more than just losing the duel, right?"
“Even if it’s seven islands, with so many subordinates, can’t we fight back? And the road sign text, even though it’s lost, that thing has been in the Big Mom Pirates for so long, there should be a lot of copies, right? Even if it’s gone now…”
The middle-aged pirate interrupted the young pirate: "What are you thinking about? She is one of the Four Emperors. When she reaches this position, she will consider her reputation more important than her life, even if it is her own child! What's more, she has so many sons and daughters..."
"But this is too scary! I heard that Whitebeard was very good to his sons, and Kaido was also very tolerant to Master Yamato. I didn't expect Big Mom to..."
For a time, Big Mom's cruelty and ruthlessness became well-known in the pirate circle and even around the world.
"Humph! Pirates are pirates after all! Every good thing!"
"This is too much! He even didn't let his dwarf go. This guy is simply a scumbag!!"
"No way, are the Big Mom Pirates so dangerous? I was originally planning to join them after entering the New World, but now it seems I have to think again!"
“…”
The more powerless you are to resist, the more fear you feel in your heart; the more fear you feel, the faster your soul will dissipate.
In the ring, Snag knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, begging for mercy from Big Mom, but he was unable to suppress the soul that was leaking out of his body. In the end, he could only let out a painful wail from his throat: “Ahhhh…!!!”
The brothers and sisters in the audience were watching with bloodshot eyes and extremely anxious, but they were powerless to do anything about what was happening before their eyes. They neither dared nor had the means to go up and stop their brother's death.
At this moment, a surge of magical power descended from the sky and landed directly on Snag's soul that was about to leave his body, abruptly stopping its dissipation.
At the same time, a roar spread throughout the arena.
"Are you kidding me?! If you fail, you will be executed. Is this still considered family?"
Gajeel, who was originally planning to step down, turned around and jumped up without hesitation after seeing the situation behind him. His right hand immediately turned into a thick, hard and long iron dragon stick and stabbed it hard towards Big Mom's face!
This abnormality instantly attracted the attention of all pirates and online viewers.
“What?! Those wizards actually...?!”
"Stop! Snag's soul stopped!! But why did he save Snag??"
"Wow... That's great! Now Brother Snag doesn't have to die! Thank you, Iron Man!!"
"Idiot! They are our enemies! If they hadn't occupied Cake Island, this wouldn't have happened!"
"...No matter what, we should thank them for their efforts."
"By the way, can he stop his furious mother?"
The iron dragon stick collided with the aunt known as the "iron ball", making a heavy muffled sound.
“So hard!!”
Gajeel felt as if his iron rod had hit an extremely dense diamond rock, and his eyes were immediately filled with shock. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the huge old woman in front of him didn't even use the power called 'Armament Haki', but only relied on pure physical defense to block his attack.
The aunt looked at the soul that stopped moving in front of her in surprise. She didn't expect that her fruit ability would be forcibly interrupted one day. "What? I punish my own son, and you guys want to intervene?"
She didn't even look at Gajeel, but instead looked at Kira who appeared on the field.
"That's not the case, but this is the gambling arena I prepared, not the place for you to enforce family rules!"
Kira gently waved his hand and stuffed Snag's soul back into his body. He said in a very tough attitude, "If you are not convinced, then come and get it back yourself!"
