Sig was very interested in Enel's body, or rather, in the power of the "Copy-Copy Fruit".
Unfortunately, now was clearly not the time to explore the mysteries of Enel's body. After giving Enel a few instructions, Sig returned to the battlefield in his Fish-Man form.
Flowing Mochi!
Power Mochi!
Katakuri was transforming the ground into mochi, creating waves that made Fárbauti lose his footing. Then, a giant donut appeared before him, from which two enormous arms imbued with Armament Haki emerged, slamming a punch into Katakuri 'Fárbauti chest...
However, Fárbauti was not defeated yet—the stamina of the Giant Race was no joke; despite being hit hard, he was only panting!
Katakuri wanted to continue his pursuit and expand his advantage, but suddenly his expression changed. As if he had seen a clue, Conan seemed to realize something in a flash and turned to adopt a defensive posture.
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of lightning, Sig appeared directly in front of Katakuri, delivering a kick to his face.
However, Katakuri seemed to Soothsayer this, already raising his arm in defense. Although Sig's kick caused Katakuri's arm, which Armament Haki Hardening, to ripple slightly, it did not cause any damage at all!
Katakuri:???
How did this Fish-Man become so fierce?
Katakuri had indeed heard about the brute Fish-Man in the Red-Hair Pirates, especially since Smoker had previously suffered at his hands.
He had indeed wondered just now—why was that Fish-Man so weak?
But it's only been a short while, how come...
Was Vladimir there to fight, or to buff the enemy?
Of course, Katakuri was only somewhat surprised, not shocked, after all... such strength was not beyond his ability to cope with.
Katakuri immediately switched from defense to offense, raising his leg to deliver a kick, and as he kicked out, his calf swelled into a "spiky iron ball" Armament Haki Hardening.
Sig immediately vanished in a flash of lightning, but almost simultaneously, as Sig reappeared a dozen meters away, Katakuri arrived, his arm outstretched, and a punch aimed at Sieg's face!
Just as he managed to raise his arms to shield his head, a sudden gust of wind and thunder erupted around Sig, with immense wind pressure radiating outwards from Sig and lightning crackling everywhere.
This amount of lightning was nothing to Katakuri's Armament Haki.
However, they managed to create some distance, and in the next moment, Sig pulled out a "mini trident" from his pocket. With a flick of his wrist, the mini trident arced in all directions, surrounding Katakuri.
Katakuri then drew a real "trident" from his wrist—a trident as tall as the five-meter-tall Katakuri, named "Earth Dragon"!
With a flick of his wrist, he easily knocked these small creatures down.
However, Sig didn't really intend to use them to harm Katakuri; all he wanted was for them to stay around Katakuri!
Water-Splitting Thunder Ball!
A pool of water emerged from Sig's palm, into which lightning power was poured, and then...
Sig's figure flashed around Katakuri, attacking Katakuri from all angles.
Because of its incredible speed, it even gave the impression that Sig was using a clone technique to surround and beat up Katakuri.
What's even more illogical is that Katakuri, in his offensive exchange with Sig, was not at all at a disadvantage. Even though Sig's speed was so fast that it was like "flash," Katakuri was able to accurately block his attacks and even counterattack with him every time!
This made Sig feel even worse.
It's not even a question of how fast Katakuri's reaction is...
Sig, who kept "appearing" beside him, could sense that every time he appeared in physical form and attacked, Katakuri's attack or defense was already waiting for him in the direction of the attack!
However, in terms of reaction speed, Sig is not as good as Katakuri. After all, reaction speed is determined by Observation Haki and physical agility, and there is still a considerable gap between the two in the former.
Keep in mind that Sig is now moving at near the speed of light. Even Sig himself can't control this speed; he can only prepare in advance, appearing where he is and attacking in which direction.
Katakuri's problem has gone beyond just how sharp his Observation Haki is...
Rather... Future Sight!
Unlike Shyarly from Fish-Man Island and Kozuki Toki from Wano Country, whose prophecies were mysterious and long-term, Katakuri used Observation Haki to briefly foresee the "future" a few seconds in advance.
In terms of how things unfold, a few seconds of foresight may seem insignificant, but in battle, it's an all-around ability.
It's simply impossible to ambush Katakuri, or to ambush someone Katakuri cares about right in front of him.
Right now, Sig's speed has been completely countered...
It had nothing to do with how fast Sig; Katakuri saw the "result" directly, so he could defend with ease.
Moreover, even if someone else foresaw the "future," it would be difficult to completely defend against attacks from all directions simultaneously in an instant—unless they were like Diamond Jozu, whose entire body could be used for defense.
Katakuri's pure defensive ability is certainly inferior to Jozu's, but he has his own methods...
With a body that has the properties of "glutinous rice," Katakuri can instantly extend several arms. At this moment, Katakuri transforms into an eight-armed form, blocking all attacks from all directions!
While Sig's movement speed was indeed close to the speed of light when using magnetic fields for positioning, he still needed to think before he could move, which limited his attack frequency...
After Katakuri adjusted slightly, he decisively launched a counterattack—after blocking Sig's attack with his two arms, he immediately extended two more arms from his ball-shaped elbows to grab him, and then kicked Sig away!
If we disregard his unresponsive speed, Katakuri's attack and defense are significantly stronger than Sig's at the moment.
Even so, Katakuri was still very surprised—this Fish-Man's strength had exceeded his expectations!
No wonder Smoker lost so badly before; it seems what they said wasn't an exaggeration...
"Sea King...?" Katakuri didn't understand why his Mom cared so much about "Sea King," but Sig's strength had indeed earned his approval.
"Very well... Join me, or die!" Katakuri said, his Conqueror's Haki expanding, his eyes seeming to unleash black and red Inazuma.
However, the savage Fish-Man also grinned ferociously, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki as well, colliding with Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki, causing the surrounding air to tremble and buildings to crack—it was Conqueror's Haki that produced a slight physical effect during the collision!
"Dream!"
Sure enough, not everyone is as shameless as that seemingly polite but actually wicked Vampire — Katakuri thought to himself, and decided to subdue him with his strength.
