Reinforcements! Reinforcements!

"This is... the Awakening of the Paramecia?"

Black exclaimed in surprise.

At this point, he could no longer maintain the appearance of a giant robot; almost half of his body had turned into a white, cloudy rice cake, which in turn tightly bound the other half of his body.

As Katakuri got closer, even more of it turned into mochi.

"Warship Black, you are indeed a powerful opponent that is difficult to defeat,"

Katakuri held his trident, his expression perfectly calm, showing no sign of the excitement he felt at easily defeating Black, whose bounty was far higher than his own. He simply spoke calmly, "But unfortunately, your strength is useless against me."

Several Floating Cannons suddenly flew up from behind him and simultaneously fired beams at him.

Katakuri's body transformed, easily dodging the beam, and then the next second, the Floating Cannons was also turned into mochi.

Black gritted his teeth inwardly.

I was careless.

They became arrogant because of their previous victory on Whole Cake Island.

Having emotions isn't all good; it's impossible to remain mechanically calm and objective forever.

This guy's Awakening is really too troublesome for me.

The body was directly assimilated into a cake and lost control.

Having lost its prized warship hull, it was completely helpless against him.

What to do?

What should we do now?

Black, use your invincible brain to come up with a solution!

Oh, there's another way!

There's one last way!

"Anyone, please help! I can't beat this guy!"

Black's voice spread far and wide.

Katakuri paused for a moment, "You bastard—"

How could you say such a thing?

We're on the battlefield now!

How could I cause trouble for others?

Black didn't seem to think anything of it.

Isn't that how it is between partners?

When you encounter difficulties, you can ask for help without hesitation.

I can rely on my partners.

"Black-- "

Luo suddenly appeared in mid-air, gazing at the distant scene, then gritted his teeth, "They got a pretty brutal beating!"

Where do you want to go?

Several beams of light shot into the sky.

However, Luo teleported instantly and easily dodged the beams of light.

He was preparing to rescue Black.

But.

Luo's eyes suddenly snapped open.

A breeze was blowing around him.

The wind seemed to be telling him something.

"I see."

Then, Luo chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

He flashed back to Queen, and said flippantly, "Come on, fat guy, round two."

"Who are you calling fat, you brat?!"

Queen flew into a rage. Having already entered his Human-Beast Form, he simultaneously extended his neck, tail, and mechanical arms, unleashing a continuous barrage of laser beams.

The battle resumes.

On Black's side.

"No one can save you."

Katakuri calmly raised his hand; his Observation Haki was the strongest in the entire arena, allowing him to clearly perceive the situation.

Even with the samurai joining forces, the Sirius Pirates were already at a huge disadvantage.

The troop strength is simply not on the same level.

If they can defeat this guy, then they will have no chance to defy fate.

"Yeah?"

Black's voice was full of laughter. "I don't think so, huh?"

"What?"

Katakuri frowned slightly.

"With your Observation Haki, haven't you sensed it yet?"

Black laughed and said, "The reinforcements have arrived."

Katakuri's expression suddenly changed.

He really sensed something.

"Go to hell!"

Without daring to delay any longer, Katakuri leaped up and unleashed his full power of Awakening.

Black's massive mechanical warship was rapidly being assimilated into a cake.

Waist, chest, shoulders, neck --

It was a moment when he was about to be completely assimilated, or even killed outright.

"Stop, Charlotte Katakuri."

A fierce wind howled.

A turquoise Tornado swept across the entire sky.

Even if Katakuri could see the future, he still couldn't dodge such a wide-range attack.

He quickly manipulated the rice cakes on the ground to rise up, which then grabbed him like arms.

But at that very moment, a figure suddenly materialized in front of him amidst the raging wind.

Katakuri, "Dragon!!"

"Dragon Claw Fist - Storm Dragon King!"

Dragon threw a punch, and a gale howled.

Boom!!

Rice cakes were flying everywhere, Katakuri was sent flying.

Then, as he left, the signs of Black's assimilation ceased instantly, and the rice cake-like transformation immediately began to dissipate.

He quickly transformed back into a giant robot.

We're saved!

Having survived the ordeal, Black was still somewhat shaken. He had almost truly perished; if his core had been assimilated, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.

He sincerely said to Dragon, who was still floating in the sky, "Mr. Dragon, thank you very much!"

"Nothing."

Dragon, his body wreathed in a whirlwind, laughed and said, "We are friends."

Then he asked with some curiosity, "But Black, is everything alright?"

After my body turned into a rice cake and was twisted into that shape, is there really no problem?

"The area below the waist was severely damaged, but it doesn't matter. The key areas are still largely intact, and it won't take much effort to repair."

Black's voice carried a hint of amusement, "However, ending this war won't be so easy."

"It doesn't matter,"

Dragon smiled and said, "We're here."

"Um."

The robot nodded.

"Oh, by the way, we encountered another group on the way here," Dragon said with a smile. "They were also here for this war."

"Um?"

Black looked into the distance; on the ice over there, a group of people were rapidly approaching.

"Let's go!!"

A beautiful woman waved a flag in her hand.

The people around her suddenly charged forward as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Seriously, Sabo, you're running way too fast!" The girl wearing goggles glared angrily at the boy who was speeding ahead of her.

"There's no time to wait, this is the moment of revolution!" The cat-like man laughed heartily. "Speaking of Kozuki, they've been our Mink Tribe's allies for generations! I never imagined that after Oden, we'd have such a remarkable descendant as Miss Hiyori!"

"Really, Mr. Lindbergh!" the girl pouted.

"Hahaha!! Let's go, you little guys!"

Beside him, an old man with a pointed chin laughed loudly, "Go help Lord Sirius achieve victory!"

"Oh!!"

A group of smoky-looking guys around him responded loudly.

"The emperors' battlefield? How wonderful!" The bald man's eyes burned with fervor, and his arms had already transformed into blades.

However, not everyone was enthusiastic.

"Why?"

Capone Beki stared blankly at the chaotic battlefield before him. "Why am I here?"

Reinforcements have arrived.
