The Annoying Katakuri

"Ha! You think you can play with fire in front of me? You must be crazy!" Haku said sarcastically.

Haku wrapped flames around the Blade of Ryujin Jakka, and with a crisp sound Haku easily blocked the Big Mom's sneak attack!

This time, Haku didn't use Shunpo to dodge the Big Mom's attack!

There's no way around it, that Katakuri's playing support for the Big Mom is just too annoying!

Haku snorted and with a flick of his wrist, sent the incredibly strong Charlotte Linlin flying!

Haku quickly created distance between himself and his opponent, then whispered, "Bankai! Zanka no Tachi!"

A large amount of flames were absorbed by the Ryujin Jakka in Haku's hand, and soon a charred katana appeared in Haku's hand!

Katakuri from afar, narrowed his eyes slightly! He had a bad feeling about Haku's upcoming attack!

Then he yelled, "Mom, don't touch the tip of his knife!"

This timely reminder prompted the Big Mom to immediately follow Katakuri's advice and dodge the attack!

"Tch! We almost hit it!" Haku said, displeased.

Just now, just now! He almost slashed the Big Mom with the knife!

Even if the Big Mom is known as the 'Iron Balloon,' so what! Haku doesn't believe the Big Mom can withstand the extremely high temperature released by her Rising Sun Blade!

Haku turned her gaze back to Katakuri!

"Zanka no Tachi - South - Great Burial Array of Ten Trillion Deaths!"

Haku plunged the blade of the Zanka no Tachi into the ground, and the intense heat of the Zanpakuto directly awakened the ashes of those who had died by Haku's blade in the past!

He transformed them into a charred legion of skeletons, endlessly slaughtering those whom Haku considered enemies.

It was obvious! The charred skeleton army's target was Katakuri, and they immediately gave chase to Katakuri the moment they crawled out of the ground!

Haku turned back to the Big Mom and said coldly, "Alright, from now on! There shouldn't be anything annoying coming out!"

The Big Mom glanced at Katakuri, because Katakuri's reminder was gone!

She knew she would struggle to deal with Haku's strange abilities, but as one of the Four Emperors renowned throughout the seas, she was confident she could defeat Haku even without Katakuri's assistance!

"Wow, that's powerful!" On a rooftop some distance from Cake Castle, Stussy was recording all of Haku's combat data using a small recording bug!

"Powerful, that's for sure! Otherwise, how could this Marine Admiral have become such a hot topic on the Sea in recent years!" Morgans, standing next to Stussy, kept snapping photos in the direction of the battlefield!

As for the other four Kings of the Underworld, they had already left Whole Cake Island when Big Mom and Haku started fighting!

Stussy glanced at Morgans beside her and asked curiously, "Who do you think will win between these two?"

Morgans cleared his throat and said, "Objectively speaking, Charlotte Linlin, this veteran Four Emperors, actually has a better chance of winning!"

"Oh? So you think the Big Mom can win?" Stussy said.

Morgans shook his head and said, "No! You've got it wrong. I just said that the Big Mom has a better chance of winning! So, I think Haku will win!"

"Huh?" Stussy was slightly confused.

Mogos shook his head and said, "Do you think this young Marine Admiral has already shown his full strength?"

Stussy said, "Even after all this, they still haven't shown their true strength?"

Morgans, "If you'd been to Wano Country and seen the battlefield between Haku and Kaido, you wouldn't have such doubts!"

Upon hearing this, Stussy turned his gaze back to Cake Castle!

The Tea Party venue—or rather, the dilapidated Tea Party venue!

Haku, wielding the Zanka no Tachi, had already fought Big Mom for hundreds of rounds. As Top-Tier Powerhouse, the two could battle for days without eating or drinking!

During her battle with Haku, the Big Mom has figured out what Haku needs to pay attention to when making her moves!

This is what she got in exchange for her body!

In order to withstand Haku's 'Zanka no Tachi - North - Heavenly Ashes!', Dangdang paid the price by having the skin on her left arm sliced off!

To prevent Haku from using Heavenly Ashes again, Big Mom didn't let her guard down at all when dealing with Haku!

If Haku uses a similar opening move, she immediately closes in and interrupts Haku's charge-up!

"Mom, let me help you!"

Katakuri had apparently dealt with the skeleton army sometime earlier, reappeared near the battlefield close to Haku and Big Mom!

"This thing is pretty fast!" Haku thought to herself.

Now that Katakuri has dealt with the entire skeleton army, and Haku has had enough fun!

He no longer intends to hide it!

He left the vicinity of the battlefield and flew into the sky!

The Big Mom seized the opportunity to launch a slash at Haku, who was flying into the air, because she thought Haku was about to escape!

As Haku rose, the Thundercloud in the sky grew even denser.

Streaks of red lightning appeared around Haku, making him look like Thunder God!

"Ten Thousand Thunders!"

As Haku's voice faded, countless bolts of lightning surged forth!

This terrified all the Big Mom members below, and most of them were already looking for cover to avoid the lightning strikes!

Ain and Binz, who had almost retreated to the coast, were already being entangled by Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven!

The two sides clashed on a nearby street, but unfortunately, due to the Lamp Demon, Ain's Return-Return Fruit ability couldn't reach Charlotte Daifuku's body!

Binz's Abundance Devil Fruit ability was countered by Oven's Heat-Heat Devil Fruit ability!

"You damned navy! Since you've ruined Mom's Tea Party, you'll leave your lives behind!" Charlotte Daifuku said to Ain.

Just as he was controlling the Lamp Demon to forcibly kill Ain!

A bolt of Red Falling Lightning shattered the Lamp Demon!

???

"Chance!"

Ain quickly closed in on Charlotte Daifuku, her hands, imbued with the power of the Return-Return Fruit, aimed directly at his body!

"Hmph!" Charlotte Daifuku thought that the lightning strike had just coincidentally saved Ain's life!

After easily dodging Ain's attack, he immediately rubbed his body again to summon the Lamp Demon!

Suddenly, both Charlotte Daifuku, who was summoning the Lamp Demon, and Charlotte Oven, who was beating up Binz, stopped what they were doing!

Countless Red Falling Lightning fell from the void!

By the time Ain and the others realized what was happening, all that remained around them were corpses strewn across the ground! And the oblivious Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven!
