Katakuri flicked his other wrist, and several candy beans suddenly shot out, flying straight at Burgess's face in an instant.
Startled, Burgess twisted around in midair and hurriedly dodged the candy beans. But then a sharp pain struck his waist. Katakuri's staff had swept over at some unknown moment, landing a solid blow against his side.
"I can see every move you make clearly!" Katakuri whirled his staff with both hands, knocking Burgess's body into the air before sweeping it down again. "I can even see movements you haven't made yet."
Burgess cried out in pain while suspended in the air. Turning, he reached out with both hands, intending to seize Katakuri's staff, but Katakuri seemed to have anticipated his intentions. Three candy beans shot rapidly from his hand, flying at Burgess from three different angles.
Burgess's Observation Haki had already sensed Katakuri's attack. If he insisted on taking the weapon, those sharp little beans would definitely hit him. He angrily pulled back and dodged, cursing, "Are you selling beans or something? Why do you have so many candy beans?"
Katakuri ignored Burgess. After forcing him back with two rapid moves, he turned and charged toward the BIGMOM Pirates' grand fleet. At this point, the BIGMOM Pirates were already facing complete disarray.
If Jinbe and Moria led their troops in and completed the encirclement from all sides, the BIGMOM Pirates would likely go from disorder to outright defeat immediately.
That was why Katakuri would not continue tangling with Burgess. He only wanted to return and reorganize his forces.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Burgess, however, pursued him relentlessly. "You think you can run after hitting Laozi? No way!"
Katakuri paid Burgess no attention. He darted across the small boats at high speed, avoiding a prolonged fight with Burgess.
