Katakuri, Stopping at the Right Moment

Everything happened so fast.

Daifuku and the others didn't even realize what had happened.

The intense light had already engulfed them all.

Starting with Sirius and his companion, the massive shockwave nearly swallowed everything in its path.

"Sea Hegemon" is a special technique that Teacher Kaido taught Sirius and Yamato.

This is the truly strongest move that only the two of them can unleash together!

Sirius certainly knew this move; Teacher Kaido and Charlotte Big Mom had used it in the original work.

The two unleashed the most visually stunning attack of all the characters in the original work, with the shockwave alone being the size of Onigashima.

Zoro was on the verge of death after only blocking for a moment; almost all the bones in his body were shattered.

One can imagine how terrifying this move is.

The still inexperienced Sirius and Yamato were far inferior to Teacher Kaido and Big Mom in using this technique; the shockwaves they unleashed were only a mere hundred meters in size.

But that's enough.

The roaring shockwave engulfed the entire Charlotte Family, then surged headlong into the sea.

The shockwave blasted a path through the sea, as if Moses from the mythology had descended to earth.

"Even though I used it myself, I still think it's ridiculous every time I see it."

Sirius leaned on his sword, gazing at the scene before him with a touch of melancholy.

Everything in front of us has been cleared away.

A huge trench, more than a hundred meters wide, was dug out of the ground and stretched all the way into the sea.

Scattered on both sides and at the bottom of the chasm were people lying on the ground.

They were lucky; they weren't blown directly into the sea.

Those unlucky ones might already be several nautical miles from the shore.

"So, Sirius, this counts as our victory?"

Yamato and Sirius stood side by side, she was panting.

Such a powerful tactic is not used casually; otherwise, Sirius wouldn't have needed to split up with Yamato earlier. A barrage of attacks on the enemy would have been enough.

Sea Hegemon consumes a significant amount of Haki.

Haki stems from physical strength and willpower.

Therefore, it is very taxing on both the body and mind.

What are you saying?

Sirius gazed at the distant battlefield. "The most troublesome enemy is still fighting."

"And--"

He turned around, and not far away, at the edge of the chasm, a figure slowly stood up.

"You brat!!!"

He roared.

It's Cracker.

The Biscuit Armor covering his body gradually fell off, revealing his bloodied head.

Even if he made armor out of biscuits and added Armament Haki for defense, he still couldn't be completely immune to that attack.

Completely freed from the protection of the cookies, Cracker's face was incredibly grim. "Look what you've done!!"

He stepped forward.

Sirius gripped the hilt of the Azure Greatsword tightly.

Then, Cracker suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Just as Sirius was completely bewildered, he saw the guy suddenly start rolling around on the ground.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much! It's killing me, you bastard!!"

He screamed repeatedly and even wept bitterly.

Sirius was completely dumbfounded.

Is this guy trying to be funny?

I wasn't injured at all! It wasn't even a serious injury!

They're trying to scam me here!

However, Sirius remembered that although this guy was undoubtedly a formidable fighter in battle, he was extremely afraid of pain and even refused to get injections.

The fact that he didn't faint from the stress after suffering such an injury already shows how strong his willpower is.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Yamato blinked in surprise.

I really don't understand what's going on with this man.

"Kindness?"

Sirius suddenly turned his head, and a dark shadow rushed towards him from a distance.

Just seconds ago they were on the other side of the battlefield, but in the blink of an eye they were almost right in front of them.

He landed directly next to Cracker.

Leather jacket, long legs, short Red-Haired, trident.

Katakuri.

Sirius turned his head and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw the pterosaur approaching at the same speed in the sky.

Katakuri glanced at Cracker, then at his younger siblings scattered around him.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on Sirius and the other man.

"The tide of battle actually turned because of you two. I have to admit, you're both remarkable kids."

He raised his trident, the ground melting beneath him. "But—"

Sirius took a deep breath, "Yamato-- "

"Kindness"

Yamato nodded.

"How dare you harm my family? Are you all ready to die?"

The trident flew high, and the ground exploded, turning into an incredibly viscous wave of mochi. The two men, Sirius, were stripped of their footing and were about to be completely swallowed by the waves.

"Freeze them!" Sirius shouted.

Freezing air instantly emanated from Yamato's body, freezing the mochi beneath his feet into an incredibly hard solid.

But the mochi was just the beginning. Katakuri, wielding his trident, was already upon them, his speed terrifying, almost instantly plunging the trident into Sirius's stomach.

Sirius opened his mouth wide, intending to repeat his previous tactic, and lunged at Katakuri's trident.

"Namuji Hyoga!"

Yamato also exhaled.

But Katakuri was no Cracker. A red light seemed to emanate from his eyes. He changed the direction of his trident and began to spin, forcefully blowing away Yamato's breath while simultaneously stabbing at Yamato. Then, he kicked Sirius in the stomach.

Oh no!

"Teacher King!!"

Sirius shouted at the top of his lungs.

Help!

"Tankyūdon!"

Fortunately, Teacher King never lets you down; he's like a bomber flying close to the ground, creating huge waves.

At the same time, his enormous wings slashed towards Katakuri.

Katakuri's body split in two, avoiding Teacher King's slash, but the shockwave even blew away his split body.

Seizing the opportunity, Sirius and Yamato quickly withdrew.

Then Sirius a deep breath and spewed flames down his feet.

Even if you could see the future, you couldn't possibly dodge such a wide-ranging attack!

The flames exploded instantly, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.

Amidst the flames, Katakuri's body recovered. He gave the retreating Sirius a deep look, then instantly escaped the sea of fire and quickly returned to Cracker's side.

Sirius finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

That's really dangerous.

Katakuri's power was still completely unmatched by him at this moment.

Sirius could wear Cracker down with his teeth and even chase him, but he knew that if Cracker were willing to fight him in close combat, the outcome might be uncertain.

Katakuri, on the other hand, can see into the future, so there's absolutely no way he can bite Katakuri.

Fighting him will only result in one outcome: your own swift defeat and death.

"This guy is amazing!" Yamato exclaimed sincerely.

Sirius nodded in deep agreement.

He's at best a one-trick pony; there's still a gap between him and a true professional player.

Teacher King descended from the sky, landing in front of Sirius and the other two. He reverted to his human form and asked, "Do you still want to continue fighting Katakuri?"

Katakuri turned around, paused for a moment, and then said, "This time, consider it a victory for you."

What do you mean by "even if we win"?

Sirius was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Then you should leave."

"This sea area is our territory now," said Teacher King.

Sirius was greatly shocked.

Is that all? Is this how it ends? Is this how martial ethics are practiced?

So, Teacher Kaido, you did coordinate with Aunt Big Mom beforehand, didn't you?

Katakuri didn't object; he simply gave Sirius and the other boy a deep look and said, "I'll remember you, brats."

This is bad; he's got his eye on us.

After all, everyone knows that Katakuri values his family the most.

Sirius thought to himself that he actually quite liked this guy.

"Don't just remember his appearance,"

He smiled and said, "My name is Sirius."

"I'm Yamato!" Yamato introduced himself loudly.

Katakuri and went to gather his brothers and sisters.

However, this could be troublesome, since many people have been driven out to sea by Sirius and Yamato.

In any case, this battle for territory has come to an end.

But no one noticed that someone in the sky was sighing.

"Wow, wow, wow, they've really recruited an amazing newcomer! I wonder if Beasts Pirates Fleet Admiral Kong will have a headache."
