Three Battlefields, Seeing the Future

"Shocking! The Straw Hat crew are actually going toe-to-toe with the BIG MOM Pirates! The rise of the Yonko of the Sea is unstoppable!!"

While Morgans "Shocking Party" leader, was still caught up in the excitement, the other underground giants had already begun to flee. After all, as a group of experts got more and more carried away with the fight, all sorts of thunder, storms, flames, sword energy, and slashes were flying everywhere! The top of the entire cake tower was on the verge of collapsing.

The three most crucial battlefields:

"Three-Sword Style: Leopard, Harp, Jade, Ultimate!"

Zoro's strength is definitely in the top tier of the Straw Hat crew. If Luffy is a 'high-resistance tank' and Roman is an 'all-around mage', then Zoro is a 'powerful damage dealer'.

Unlike others who fight for a long time before a winner is decided, Zoro is the kind of aggressive fighter who can decide the outcome with a single move. He was first trained by the mysterious Koshiro, Saber Technique is unparalleled in the One Piece world, with seemingly endless new techniques that are breathtaking! His only weakness is Armament Haki.

During these two years, he also became a disciple of Hawk Eyes, not only learning Armament Haki to project his own 'Black Blade,' but also refining his original Three-Sword Style. Since the Straw Hat crew reunited two years later, Zoro has won with ease every time, his strength unfathomable. However:

Clang!

The tall woman before him blocked all three of his swords with her longsword. Even though Zoro's overflowing sword energy could cut through steel, it couldn't harm her in the slightest.

"This is... water?"

As Zoro unleashed his unparalleled sword energy, a series of ripples, like waves, spread rapidly in all directions across Charlotte Smoothie's body. These ripples were so fluid and almost imperceptible that they were barely noticeable unless one looked closely. However, Zoro's three swords seemed to be submerged in water, experiencing significantly increased resistance with every movement.

"That's right, I'm Juice Human ate the 'Suke Suke no Mi'."

"It can extract 'juice' from any living organism or even object, and can even 'extract' anything harmful from the body. Meanwhile:"

Smoothie swung her sword, and an invisible force field that was invincible and could cut through and push away everything was formed on the sword, causing Zoro's surging and domineering sword energy to graze past her without touching her.

"I can extract the liquid from my body and then fuse it with my released Haki to form an invisible Haki armor half a meter thick! So you don't need to hold back."

"Tsk, you're so thoughtful!"

"At the same time, I can also absorb moisture from the outside world through the 'Suke Suke no Mi' to obtain an indestructible body and the power of a dragon and elephant! Just like this—!"

As Smoothie exerted her strength, forcing Zoro back a few steps, she dragged her longsword backward with both hands and leaned forward, her whole body suddenly 'expanding'! The muscles on her originally smooth arms bulged with distinct contours, full of explosive power.

At the same time, everything around Smoothie —buildings, seats, food, drinks—abruptly dried up, as if the moisture had been instantly sucked away by an invisible hand.

"Diamond Force - Flying Stream!"

In the next instant, Smoothie's longsword suddenly slashed forward, and the Flying Slash swept like an angry dragon, the Haki blade light wrapped in rolling water waves, like the roar of the sea and the towering waves crashing towards Zoro!

A fierce and powerful wave, like a thousand horses charging into battle, rolled out, imbued with Smoothie's unleashed Armament Haki, utterly devastating! Unstoppable! Under her sword strike, even steel warships would be instantly reduced to scrap metal! Leaving no trace of their remains.

"Excellent swordsmanship!!"

In an instant, Zoro's three katana tumbled and transformed into countless fleeting, cold lightning bolts, flashing and disappearing amidst the waves and the gleam of the blades. No matter how turbulent the waves were, they could not swallow or suppress those effortlessly cold and beautiful blade lights.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of slashes had been delivered! But the sound of blades clashing grew louder and louder, proving that Zoro's sword was finding it increasingly difficult to cut through the sea wave sword energy. When the final slash was delivered, it produced a loud clang that soared into the sky and stirred up the clouds.

"Cut!"

With a sudden swipe of his sword, Shusui, a smooth, freehand, and unrestrained trajectory was left in the air! Just like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, he used the thinest part of the blade to cut through the gap, finally completely splitting the wave-like sword energy through it.

Excellent, this is the opponent I've been dreaming of!

Zoro's lips curled into a smile, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his single eye. As a master swordsman who had already reached the level of a great swordsman, only battles against other great swordsmen could ignite his fighting spirit, and only combat against swordsmen of equal caliber could hone his sword and bring him one step closer to the throne of 'World's Greatest Swordsman'!

"Your knife isn't bad either, man."

Charlotte Smoothie nodded approvingly. Her sword strike not only stirred up the surrounding moisture, condensing it into a real raging storm, but the sword energy mixed in with the giant waves was also as dense as rain! However, the one-eyed man with the turban opposite her defended flawlessly.

It can be said that by simply wielding the three samurai swords in his hand, this person could walk through raging waterfalls and torrential rain without getting a single drop of water on his clothes.

Sharp!

"Again?"

"Again—!"

Go ahead and try again, you son of a bitch!!

A group of innocent bystanders, caught in the crossfire, cursed inwardly. Zoro could withstand Smoothie's "Flying Stream," but they certainly didn't. The waves cleaved by Zoro scattered like a thousand sharp Famous Sword, instantly staining the surrounding battlefield crimson. And most of the injured were from Charlotte family, but:

Faced with two guys who were fighting so hard, the people around them dared not say anything, and decided to avoid them if they couldn't afford to offend them.

The second battlefield:

"#@￥&·······*

Compared to Smoothie and Zoro, who were evenly matched and like worthy opponents, Charlotte Cracker was so angry that she lost the ability to speak. Because:

"Paper Paper - A Dazzling Impact!"

Cracker was about to dodge when another White Knight charged at high speed with his shoulders transformed into 'diamonds'. Before he could even move, another White Knight beside him opened his arms and pressed down on him from afar.

"Paper Paper: Hell's Journey!"

Click click click—

A terrifying gravity descended upon Cracker. Although this 'second-hand' gravity couldn't injure him, dodging it with agility was extremely difficult. Therefore, Cracker had no choice but to thrust his sword out suddenly! It struck the charging 'Diamond White Knight' in the shoulder, but:

"Paper Paper - Wind-Driven Lightning!"

Two white riders, their bodies crackling with Electric Light and enveloped in a whirlwind, appeared at high speed behind Cracker, their two longswords striking him mercilessly from the left and right.

My kidneys—

"Thousand Hands Pretzel!"

Cracker suddenly spun around like a top, his longsword transforming into a screen of light that enveloped him, Armament Haki that forced the 'White Knight' back. Thankfully, he was always afraid of pain, and before mastering his Devil Fruit ability, his swordsmanship focused primarily on defense.

When the spinning stopped, four identical arms emerged from Cracker's sides and shoulders, each wielding a sword called 'Pretzel'! It was as if six swords were wielded simultaneously, forming a defense with no blind spots.

"That's right. Since we can't use the puppet skill, we should compress our abilities to our own attack range."

In that case, even Roman wouldn't dare to rashly use his Swallow ability. —With his entire body covered in Armament Haki, he wouldn't know which 'Pretzel' was the real one; what if he swallowed the wrong one...?

While the 'swallowing ability' has an absolute suppressive effect on food-type Devil Fruit, it has limited effect on normal famous swords, especially when it is covered by Advanced Armament Haki.

Regardless, Roman could suppress Cracker with just the 'White Knight,' freeing him up to help on other battlefields and prevent the Straw Hat crew from being wiped out. This was the easiest battle, though the last one was...

"Gum-Gum Eagle Gun!"

Entering Gear Second, Luffy unleashed a full-force punch, creating a whirlwind of fist shadows coated in Armament Haki, filling every inch of space within a ten-meter radius. A single glance instilled a sense of utter despair, a feeling of having nowhere to escape! However:

Behind Charlotte Katakuri, fists formed from glutinous rice stretched out, meeting Luffy's High Speed Eagle Gun head-on with their own fists.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!

Amidst a continuous barrage of sounds like heavy artillery fire, a burst of fiery sparks erupted from the point where the two enormous fist shadows met, with faint black cracks visible spreading outwards! Each crack tore through everything, scattering into the void in all directions, causing everyone else within a radius of hundreds of meters to flee in panic.

After a series of punches, it was Luffy who was sent Luffy backwards! And:

Luffy who launched the attack, but Katakuri not only accurately intercepted Luffy's attacks with his fists, but also knocked Luffy away during the Vice Admiral. His incredible skill is evident!

No, this goes beyond the realm of skill; rather, it is:

"Indeed, you really can see the 'future'."

Luffy, who had just gotten up, wiped his mouth and was speechless in the face of Charlotte Katakuri, who had spoken his 'line' in advance. "You stole my line, so what am I supposed to say?"

"Your subordinates are all doing a good job,"

Charlotte Katakuri glanced around; Zoro and Smoothie were getting more and more excited as they fought! Roman had already suppressed Cracker. The battles elsewhere were also basically at a stalemate—although many of the Sherlock family's children had been defeated, they were all from the younger generation who were not strong enough; the main force of the forty-year-olds were still fighting.

Moreover, this was, after all, the heart of the BIG MOM Pirates. As the officers who had received the news arrived one after another, the situation had stabilized. The injured younger siblings were also quickly taken away from the battlefield, which made Katakuri secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and he turned his attention to the small figure in front of him.

"As the captain, he was the most pathetic."

"If you can't be strong enough to protect everything, what right do you have to be a leader?"

"Phew~ My crewmates aren't weaklings who need protection," Luffy said, standing up as he looked at the second-in-command of the Charlotte Family, a man Observation Haki was so advanced that he could even Future Sight.

"But you're right,"

Luffy bit his arm and blew hard.

"Fourth Gear!"

Charlotte Katakuri nodded as Luffy's arms began to swell like in Gear Third! But unlike Gear Third, which Luffy mainly about increasing strength, Luffy's arms were covered in Armament Haki as they swelled, giving them a muscular outline.

"Interesting. Are you planning to use an extremely enhanced speed so that even if I can 'predict the future,' my body won't be able to react in time?"

"Life Return— "

As Luffy Fourth Gear, his outward-released Haki suddenly compressed inward, forcefully shrinking his massive body from Fourth Gear 'Bounce Man' into a slender, elongated form! With the all-around boost from Gear Fourth Gear, his speed was further enhanced!

"Snake Man Mode!"
