Scatter, Senbonzakura!

However, this is still not enough, at least not enough to deal with Katakuri!

Luffy calmed himself down and focused intently on activating his Observation Haki, hoping to glimpse the Future once more!

Because only in this way could he have even the slightest chance of defeating Katakuri.

Just then, the mirrors around Luffy and Katakuri shattered simultaneously.

This sudden turn of events caught the two completely off guard!

Katakuri, who was more familiar with the mirror space, was the first to realize that the mirrors near him and Luffy all came from Whole Cake Island!

In other words, Katakuri turned and stared intently at Luffy, saying, "Something's happened on Whole Cake Island! As expected, your sudden appearance wasn't for nothing!!!"

"You're deliberately trying to stall me!" Katakuri concluded immediately.

Luffy shook his head and said, "No! No! I didn't come here to hold you back. I promised Haku I'd come and defeat you!"

"Haku!" Katakuri widened slightly.

Realizing what was happening, he exclaimed, "So, Haku is on Whole Cake Island!!!"

Katakuri abandoned Luffy and went to find the mirror that led to Whole Cake Island!

"Wait! Our battle isn't over yet, I won't let you leave!" Luffy said, flashing in front of Katakuri.

"Get out of the way!"

Katakuri hand pieces transformed into a giant spiked club, which he then smashed towards Luffy!

"No way!"

Luffy stubbornly covered his hands with Armament Haki and held them up in front of him, blocking Katakuri's attack!

Although Luffy blocked Katakuri's attack, the enormous impact still forced him back a few steps. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and looked at Katakuri with unwavering determination.

"I must defeat you, Katakuri!" Luffy shouted, his voice filled with determination. "At the same time, I can't let you go to Whole Cake Island; that's what I promised Haku!"

Katakuri frowned, surprised by Luffy's persistence. He knew that with Luffy's current strength, defeating him was only a matter of time!

However, something has happened on Whole Cake Island!

He was completely helpless against a tough opponent like Luffy!

But at this moment, he was more worried about the safety of Whole Cake Island. He had to get there as soon as possible to ensure its safety.

"Get out of the way, Straw Hat Kid!" Katakuri warned again, his voice filled with impatience.

Luffy shook his head; he knew he couldn't back down.

Luffy's reason for not yielding to his opponent is that he desperately wants to find a worthy opponent to improve his strength!

Katakuri just happened to be the unlucky one to become such an opponent!

Just then, the surrounding mirrors began to shatter again. A strong sense of unease surged into their hearts. Luffy and Katakuri looked at the shattered mirrors at the same time, their eyes filled with shock.

"What's going on?" Luffy muttered to himself.

"That's Mom's Conqueror's Haki and Haku's Conqueror's Haki! Damn it! Haku really made her move!" Katakuri said with a grim expression.

"Wow! That really is Haku's Conqueror's Haki! Looks like things are going well on his side too," Luffy exclaimed excitedly. "I wonder how Nami and the others are doing?"

Inside the Palace on Whole Cake Island!

Nami, with her keen sense for money, has already found Big Mom's treasure room!

"Nami- san, is it really okay for us to just leave Haku here like this?" Brook whispered.

"What's wrong with it? You don't really think that by going to Haku's side of the battlefield, you can actually help him," Nami explained.

"Besides, you've already completed your missions, so it's time to work hard for the Thousand Sunny's gold!" Nami said, her eyes gleaming with greed.

"It seems like we two aren't crew members of the Thousand Sunny, so why are we coming along too?" Pedro said.

Nami turned to Pedro, who had a touch of arrogance in him, and said, "You can choose to go too, but are you sure those Big Mom members will target you?"

"It seems you were there when you stepped out of Capone Bege's body! Your face should be on Big Mom's blacklist by now!" Nami said, pointing at Pedro's hairy face.

"Hmph, why would I be afraid of those guys?" Pedro was somewhat dissatisfied, but Nami's words reminded him of his current situation; he had indeed become a prime target for Big Mom's wanted list.

"Alright, let's hurry. This treasure is enough for us to last a while," Nami urged, her eyes gleaming with gold, as if she could already see the ship full of gold and jewels.

Just as Nami and her companions were busy looting the treasure, a violent tremor suddenly came from deep within the Palace. Immediately afterwards, the entire Palace began to shake, as if some enormous force was tearing it apart.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Chopper asked in alarm.

"No, this is a clash of Conqueror's Haki!" Nami said in a deep voice, her expression turning serious. She knew that only a clash between Conqueror's Haki could cause such a powerful impact.

"It's Haku and the Big Mom!" Pedro realized this too, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Although he hadn't precisely calculated how many levels he'd descended, the sense of distance told Pedro that the battle erupting above was incredibly intense!

Whole Cake Island! The top floor of the Palace!

"Elbaf Wigo!"

The Big Mom, wielding Napoleon, unleashed a shockwave at Haku.

Haku wrapped her left hand in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, forcefully blocking the shockwave emitted by Big Mom in front of her!

"That monster!" Smoothie cursed under her breath.

She swiftly used her Devil Fruit ability to strengthen her legs, then launched a charged attack, her spear aimed straight for Haku's back!

To Haku's left front, Prometheus unleashed a fiery fireball!

Meanwhile, Hera unleashed a massive amount of lightning from the right front!

Faced with this three-pronged attack, Haku's eyes held a hint of mockery!

"You didn't dodge? Then go to hell!" The remaining Big Mom's children either fired guns or cannons!

The intention is to cut off all of Haku's escape routes!

Haku scoffed, "A bunch of trash!"

Strangely, all the attacks seemed to be paused by a remote control, stopping right in front of Haku!

"That ability again!" Smoothie had seen Haku use this move against Cracker before.

To avoid ending up Cracker, Smoothie stepped back!

"Hey beautiful long-legged lady, you can't just come and go as you please here!"

Although Haku's words were teasing, her tone was completely devoid of emotion!

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

Haku's Zanpakuto is slowly turning into cherry blossoms and scattering away!
