While Ian and Arest were fighting, not far away, Katakuri was whispering with Big Mom.

“Mom, what’s going on with that Arest?” Katakuri asked her. “Why do I feel like he has a split personality, just like Pudding…”

“I don’t know either!” Big Mom said with a grim face. “But I’ve heard rumors that Father Arest fights like a bloodthirsty wolf. Now it seems to be true.”

“What should we do? Should we step in to stop them?” Perospero asked beside her. “They’re really going at it. If either of them gets taken out, it won’t be good for us…”

Perospero was right. If Arest were killed by Ian, then regardless, this newly appointed Navy Admiral would have been killed on Big Mom Pirates’ territory, and they couldn’t avoid responsibility. Although the Big Mom Pirates didn’t fear the Navy, if the Navy was determined to retaliate, it would be a big headache for them.

Similarly, if Ian were accidentally killed by Arest, it would also be troublesome. Didn’t you see Smoothie’s worried face? After all, he’s Big Mom’s designated son-in-law…

In short, in Katakuri and Perospero’s view, these two fighting on Whole Cake Island was definitely not a good thing.

However, after thinking it over, Big Mom made a decision that surprised them. She said, “No, let them fight, and the fiercer the better!”

“Huh?!” Katakuri and Perospero were baffled.

Big Mom explained in a low voice, “That old guy Arest dared to hide his promotion to Navy Admiral from us; he deserves to die. But I don’t think he can beat that kid Ian. Don’t forget, that kid even crippled both of Akainu’s hands. Arest can’t be stronger than Akainu, right? If he’s killed by Ian here, then even if the Navy wants to retaliate, most of their anger should be directed at his Dragon Hunter Pirates. The Dragon Hunter Pirates aren’t strong enough to confront the entire Navy yet. In that case, he would have to rely on the strength of our Big Mom Pirates!”

“I see. Mom, you want to use the Navy’s hand to push Ian to our side?” Perospero suddenly realized. “But even so, he might not necessarily lean toward us. Isn’t there still the Whitebeard Pirates?”

However, Big Mom glared at Perospero and said, “So what about the Whitebeard Pirates? Ian hasn’t joined them, has he? But we’re different. As long as Smoothie successfully marries him, he’ll be part of our Big Mom Pirates family. Would that old man Whitebeard have the nerve to interfere in our family affairs!?”

Smoothie listened behind them, overjoyed, and praised, “Mom is absolutely right! That’s my man; of course he’s part of our family!”

“Alright then!” Seeing that Big Mom had made her decision, Katakuri and Perospero could only go along with her wishes. They shrugged and said, “Hopefully, those two won’t destroy the whole Cake Island…”

Thus, the Big Mom Pirates stood by watching. When Feld and the other guests saw that the Big Mom Pirates didn’t intervene, they naturally stayed quiet on the sidelines.

The Vinsmoke family folded their arms, observing the fight between the two. This was a chance to thoroughly understand Ian’s combat power; they needed to gather some data. Although Reiju was a bit worried about Ian, she knew that with Ian’s current strength, he was confident in dealing with a Navy Admiral. So she accompanied Judge and the others to watch.

The most worried people on the scene were probably Capone Bege and his Fire Tank Pirates. They were about to start eating the wedding cake, but first Caesar was found, then Stussy’s identity was exposed, and now, even better, a Navy Admiral had inexplicably infiltrated the wedding, acted as his and Chiffon’s officiant, and then got into a fight with Ian.

Capone Bege was now extremely anxious. Could they still “enjoy” the cake properly!?

He already had a guilty conscience, so his patience for these unexpected events was naturally the lowest. Now, he was probably the one who most hoped that Ian would quickly take down Arest and get things back on track.

He glanced at the location of the wedding cake, then at where Big Mom was, and turned to look at his subordinate Vito. Noticing Capone Bege’s gaze, Vito lightly patted his own trouser pocket, indicating that the remote control was still with him, reassuring Capone Bege.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene occurred. Many subordinates of the Fire Tank Pirates and some members of the Big Mom Pirates, thin strands of blood suddenly floated out from each person!

These thin blood strands converged from all directions, heading toward Arest’s location.

Even the most oblivious person could see this strange scene now. Many people were horrified to discover that these blood strands were floating out from their bodies. Somewhere on each person’s body, in an inconspicuous spot, a shallow wound had appeared at some point, and the blood was flowing out from this wound.

There was no pain at all, and the wounds were very shallow. But strangely, the bleeding couldn’t be stopped. The blood kept flowing out, floating in the air, converging toward Arest.

Arest looked at Ian, who was hovering in mid-air with his flame wings unfolded, and grinned hideously. He spread his arms, and the blood flowing in from all directions began to condense in his palms, forming two blood spheres that grew larger and larger.

“Damn… damn it! It’s that guy’s doing!” The injured and bleeding people suddenly realized and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

Arest had been preparing for this moment. When Stussy was forced by Ian to reveal her identity, he knew things were going wrong. So, while everyone was gathered together, he quietly made his move.

That thin dagger, at an incredible speed, cut open the skin of more than a hundred people, leaving shallow wounds that could seep blood. Because Arest had the ability to manipulate blood, he directly suppressed the platelets in their blood, causing the shallow wounds to remain unhealed. Only when he began fighting Ian and needed to use his abilities did he explosively draw their blood.

This was why when Stussy was thrown to the ground and wanted to seek help from Arest, she couldn’t find him. At that time, Arest was quietly taking action.

Of course, Arest couldn’t injure those with strong abilities without them noticing. So the hundred or so people he cut were mostly weaker individuals on the scene, including some from the Fire Tank Pirates and some from the Big Mom Pirates.

After absorbing enough blood, Arest suddenly squeezed the blood sphere in his right hand, splitting it into two parts. Then, the two masses of blood floated to his back, transforming into a pair of blood-red wings!

“5000cc, Wings of Blood!”

Then, Arest actually flew up. Using the flapping of the Wings of Blood on his back, he gained temporary hovering ability, flying up to Ian’s level, facing him from a distance.

“What the hell! You can do that?!” Ian looked at the blood-red wings on Arest’s back, resembling angel wings, and couldn’t help but be astonished.

Since Arest was a Navy Admiral recruited from the private sector, he naturally wouldn’t know techniques like Moonwalk. Ian originally thought he could gain some advantage using his aerial mobility, but unexpectedly, Arest also flew up.

However, Ian also realized that Arest’s ability was probably related to blood…

Indeed, Arest’s Blood-Blood Fruit ability allowed him to manipulate more blood, increasing his combat power.

But what Ian didn’t know was that when Arest flew up and saw Ian’s condition, he was suddenly stunned and couldn’t help blurting out, “You… your wounds!?”

Arest clearly remembered that he had inflicted many wounds on Ian with his tactic of exchanging injury for injury. But now, after flying up, he suddenly discovered that the wounds on Ian’s body had somehow disappeared!

Although there were still bloodstains at the wound sites, they were dried bloodstains. Arest’s ability was very sensitive to wounds; he could “smell” the scent of fresh blood at the wound sites to judge the opponent’s injury. But now, he couldn’t “smell” that scent on Ian.

This was what shocked Arest the most. You know, when he had injured Ian earlier, he had already controlled the aggregation of platelets in Ian’s blood, preventing his wounds from healing. In theory, Ian’s bleeding shouldn’t have stopped at this time!

Only when the opponent was losing blood could Arest use his Devil Fruit ability to manipulate the blood in the opponent’s body, giving him a huge advantage in battle. Now, Ian’s wounds had suddenly healed, which was absolutely beyond Arest’s expectations…

When Ian heard his words, he was momentarily stunned. But then he realized and couldn’t help but grin, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, “Heh, you guess!”

He had finally figured out the general scope of Arest’s abilities. After saying this, a golden aura suddenly erupted from Ian’s body.

With a loud boom from breaking the sound barrier, Ian moved at an unimaginable speed, suddenly attacking Arest head-on, slashing down at him with his sword!
