Victory, Then Victory Again

A dozen dazzling beams of light hurtled toward you at a speed so fast that it would be almost impossible to dodge them if you didn't have Future Sight. They even seemed to possess their own consciousness, able to freely change direction and track you.

How should one avoid this situation?

Sirius felt a headache coming on.

While the battle here intensifies, the battle on Whole Cake Island is almost over.

"Injection and Launch."

Luo instantly appeared behind Perospero, wielding the newly acquired Famous Sword White Fish with a swift, teleporting thrust.

Perospero, who was already in a bad state from Maria's attack, couldn't react at all and let out a scream, spitting out blood.

Maria seized the opportunity to unleash her Wheel-Entering Monk, smashing Charlotte Family's eldest son into the ground.

Then, to ensure the man was incapacitated, he was struck several more times.

Luo's lips twitched as he watched the ground continue to shake.

Maria was always very gentle; she was like an older sister on the ship.

Except when she's fighting.

"Thank you so much, Luo, you've been a huge help."

Maria smiled gently, if one ignored the blood-stained club in her hand.

"Maria, you go and help the others first, although I don't think it's necessary anymore."

Law looked around the battlefield. Black had almost wiped out all the other enemies. Now, the only enemies still fighting were Katakuri and Smoothie.

"I'm going inside the castle to look for stones."

"Good."

Maria nodded.

Defeating the enemy is merely a means to an end; finding the stone is the true objective.

On another battlefield not far away.

Is that all?

Smoothie looked somewhat bewildered.

The outcome of the battle was already clear: they had no chance of turning the tide, and even their most respected Brother Katakuri, was being overwhelmed.

"Who gave you permission to look around like that!"

Jack let out a cold shout and threw a punch, utterly devoid of any martial ethics.

"That persistent jerk!!"

Smoothie gritted her teeth, "Then you can just die!!"

She swung her sword.

I don't understand what's wrong with this man. His hands are almost completely withered, but he still won't give up fighting. And he doesn't care about technique at all; he just goes head-to-head with his own abilities.

"I won't die!"

Jack sneered, "Sirius hasn't become the Pirate King yet, so our adventure isn't over!"

"The Pirate King?" Smoothie mocked. "You think he can defeat Mother? Mother is invincible!"

"Stop talking nonsense! No one can defeat Sirius! He will always win!"

Jack roared, his Haki surging and violent, and for a moment he actually deflected Smoothie's sword.

But then, Jack thought.

No, that's not how it works.

Recall what Sirius said?

Unlike the raw power of Flowing Armament Haki, more advanced Armament Haki requires calmness.

Like flowing water, it is flexible and calm, yet it can penetrate into any crevice.

The Armament Haki wrapped around Jack's fist suddenly calmed down.

His heart calmed down.

Jack clenched his fist.

"That naughty kid!"

Smoothie her sword.

Then--

"What?"

The next instant, her expression changed drastically!

Her Haki was instantly pierced! The greatsword was deflected.

Oh no, I was careless!

"So that's how it is!"

Jack suddenly burst into laughter, "Then you're finished!!"

Without giving Smoothie a chance to adjust her stance, Jack unleashed a powerful straight punch, "Demon Tile Straight Punch!"

Jack's fist landed squarely on Smoothie's cheek. Showing no mercy, he unleashed several more punches, sending Smoothie flying.

"Black!"

Jack shouted.

There was no need to make a loud noise; he carried Black's sensor core.

"Leave the finishing touches to me."

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Several beams of light shot out.

Boom boom boom boom!

With a deafening explosion, the battle ended.

Jack looked down at his fist, still wreathed in Haki, and said, "In that case—"

He turned his head and looked at Katakuri Yamato far away.

I should be able to fight him now.

Has Smoothie also been defeated?

Katakuri frowned deeply.

He was all alone now.

We can't win.

He alone could absolutely not turn the tide of the battle.

Now we can only hope that Mother defeats Sirius and then comes down to clean up the mess.

But--

The Sirius Pirates' fighting force is basically intact.

Not to mention there's also a Golden Lion eyeing the scene.

Katakuri can hardly help but be pessimistic about the outcome of today's battle.

Is there still time to look around?

Yamato has already pounced.

"Peerless Donut!"

Katakuri gave a soft shout, and another large number of mochi rings floated into the air, "Mochi Rings!"

A barrage of mochi-shaped fists rained down on Yamato.

"Useless, useless, useless, useless!"

Yamato wielded his Spiked Club with the aura of a phantom, shouting, "Kundali: Wolf Army!"

The jet-black mochi fist was utterly powerless against Yamato's Spiked Club, which was Conqueror's Haki Infusion with both Armament Haki Yamato Conqueror's Haki, and was instantly pulverized.

"Mochi Ball Thrust!"

Katakuri's eyes flashed red as he spotted an opening in Yamato's attack. He skillfully bypassed the spiked club, using the trident that was spinning wildly in his arm to thrust straight Yamato Spiked Club through the gap in the attack.

Then.

Katakuri's expression changed slightly.

Laugh!!

The wildly spinning trident pierced Yamato's body, sparks flying.

But they just couldn't get Yamato to shed even a single drop of blood.

White mist surged from Yamato's body, and black Inazuma flickered across her surface. "Mirror Mountain."

She covered her body with an extremely hard layer of ice as a defense, and with the addition of Two-Color Haki, this was a defense that Katakuri could not break through.

Katakuri withdrew and retreated.

But it's too slow.

The constant exposure to freezing air had made him too dull.

"You can't escape, Katakuri!"

Yamato did not give chase; he simply gripped the Spiked Club with both hands.

Conqueror's Haki Infusion, Armament Haki envelops it, full-force freezing air is injected, and finally, the shockwave of the Hasshoken is unleashed.

"Freeze everything, Aurora Eight Trigrams - Absolute Zero!"

She brandished Spiked Club.

A fan-shaped white wave spread out, instantly engulfing everything on the battlefield.

Even if Katakuri could Future Sight, he would have no way to avoid such a wide-ranging attack.

Boom!

The white shockwave surged forward, engulfing buildings, forests, land, and everything else. And this was not even the end; the wave continued to move forward, covering the sea and spreading ever onward.

Once the fluctuations finally subsided, a spectacular sight appeared.

That's really an exaggeration.

Jack couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Starting from Yamato, everything that extends outwards in a fan shape has been frozen into an ice sculpture.

This is a white world.

Katakuri was also frozen, and he even created a wall of mochi in front of him.

However, the focus of this freezing energy wave is not impact, but penetration. It is Internal Destruction a wave that uses Armament Haki and the penetrating wave of the Hasshoken to directly drive the freezing energy into the interior of the object.

Therefore, Katakuri's defensive measures were probably not very useful.

Yamato leaped up and landed on top of the frozen mochi wall, silently looking down at Katakuri.

Click.

The ice on Katakuri's body began to shatter.

He broke free from the ice.

But he was trembling all over, and his teeth were chattering.

His hands could no longer hold the trident, and it clattered to the ground.

The accumulating freezing air, which had been mixing with the incoming freezing air, finally exploded completely.

It's already quite remarkable that he was able to barely break free from the ice.

Katakuri looked up at Yamato.

"It's over, Katakuri."

Yamato jumped down,

"Ice Sever!"
