The glutinous rice ball is chanting!
Katakuri unleashed his ultimate technique after Devil Fruit Awakening —transforming the surrounding buildings into "Mochi Doughnuts," and from these, arms hardened with Armament Haki extended, hammering at Sig from all directions.
Even if Sig tries to dodge with Flash of Lightning or even a magnetic teleportation, the moment he appears in physical form, he will still be surrounded by rice balls!
In terms of overall strength, Sig is slightly weaker Katakuri, but it's not a fundamental difference. His speed advantage is overshadowed by "Future Sight"...
Furthermore, Katakuri is also a user of Conqueror's Haki. Although he is not as powerful as Kaido, or even Shanks at his current level, he has already reached a certain level of proficiency. The "Hypnotist's" ability is unlikely to have a direct impact on him.
If Katakuri doesn't use his Devil Fruit Awakening powers, Sig is evenly matched with him, and if it comes down to stamina and endurance, Sig is confident he can wear Katakuri!
However, the effects of "Devil Fruit Awakening" cannot be ignored...
The Mochi Mochi Fruit grants Katakuri's body extremely high controllability, allowing him to "grow" many extra limbs. Especially after using his Awakening power, he can grow many limbs from the outside to launch highly controllable attacks!
This is far superior to Pica, the big guy under Doflamingo. Because Pica has the Stone Stone Fruit ability, he is more focused on hardness. So while developing his Devil Fruit ability, he is good at Armament Haki. Even Devil Fruit Awakening, he only turns himself into a giant covered in rock.
In comparison, Katakuri's "four-armed" attack is clearly more difficult to deal with...
Sig was quite confident in his defensive capabilities, but he was still struggling to cope with the constant onslaught.
Just then...
[For example, Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates, the overlord of the Hachinosu Alliance, Devil Fruit Development to the point where he could generate prosthetic limbs infinitely. This was in conjunction with a certain level of "Life Return." Otherwise, the Mochi Mochi Fruit would only allow his body to deform, but wouldn't give him extra limbs...]
The words Jinbe said when he first explained "Life Return" to Sig echoed in Sig's mind.
This move, this move is called a memory trigger!
Life Return?
Well, Katakuri essentially trained in Life Return, making his body, or rather, his Lineage Factor, believe that "I can have many limbs, my limbs can split," and he was able to actually do this thanks to the malleability of his Mochi Mochi Devil Fruit ability.
Even if someone else trained to the same level, without the Devil Fruit ability, they wouldn't be able to grow extra limbs. And if Katakuri didn't have mastery of Life Return, his mochi body wouldn't be able to form extra limbs; at most, it would only expand or grow...
Realizing this, Sig began to fight back!
Suddenly, Sig changed his previous passive stance and, amidst the "glutinous rice fists" attacking him from all directions, twisted his waist and, with his hands in a throwing motion, gathered a thick stream of water.
With a flick of the wrist, the water roared like a water dragon, and lightning instantly filled it, making it even more ferocious.
As the Lightning Water Dragon Bullet raged, the arms of the surrounding mochi were momentarily paralyzed. Taking advantage of this opening, Sig broke through the encirclement and arrived in front of Katakuri.
"Heh." Katakuri, who had anticipated this scene a second ago, grinned coldly from behind his scarf.
Can't hold on any longer? Want to give it one last shot?
However, if you get close, you'll only lose faster.
Namelese Mochi!
Katakuri's body suddenly expanded into multiple arms, which, Armament Haki Hardening, attacked Sig simultaneously.
At the same time, the ground began to ripple like glutinous rice, and countless "donuts" emerged from the waves, seemingly about to stretch out countless arms to grab Sig.
However, at that moment, Katakuri suddenly froze, "seeing" Sig's strange dodging movements.
The next instant, this became "reality." With a twist, Sig's body trembled and Distortion as lightly as a piece of paper... no, as thin as a flag, miraculously dodging all attacks and resolutely completing the close-quarters combat!
Sig has analyzed quite a few Devil Fruit ability over the past few months, such as those on the Numancia Flamingo...
While a mere ten percent of the "Flag Flag Fruit" ability isn't enough for Sig to turn external objects into "flags," combining it with the Rose Bishop's body control abilities is enough to transform himself into a flag, allowing him to cultivate a technique even more advanced than the so-called "Paper Arts Body."
However, Katakuri had already "seen" this scene and did not think it would help the outcome of the battle. Immediately, the arms in the surrounding donuts and the arms on his body changed angles and continued to grab Sig!
Once Sig is caught, he'll be unleashed a barrage of "Ora!" and the outcome will be decided.
However, Sig seized the opportunity created by this "surprise attack," and with both hands clasped together, he pushed forward forcefully...
Dong--
With a muffled thud, Sig landed squarely on Katakuri's kidneys!
However, Katakuri couldn't withstand the force and slid backward for more than ten meters without moving his feet.
However, Sig was grabbed by arms that stretched out from the donuts on the surrounding "waves," which held him under his armpits. Because they were all covered with Armament Haki, Sig was unable to break free by using his Elementalization.
Seeing this, Katakuri approached smugly. "Looks like it's over... Join us, or die!"
Sig discovered that he didn't have any clear intention to kill, which further convinced him of Big Mom's intense desire for "Sea King".
"It's over." Sig looked up at Katakuri, then grinned savagely, his arms swelling even larger as he strained to break free.
Katakuri scoffed at this tactless behavior and raised his arm to unleash a devastating "Ora!"
However, at that moment, Katakuri's body swayed, and he almost lost his balance...
Instead of arms sprouting from the places on her body where the glutinous rice balls had appeared, as she had controlled, instead... sprouted Mochi Roses!
Even parts of Katakuri that didn't intend to become glutinous began to uncontrollably turn into glutinous rice and showed signs of growing haphazardly.
At one moment, his cheeks turned into glutinous rice and sprouted rose root-like growths. The next moment, they started turning into glutinous rice from his knees, and a large patch of roses grew out of them, covering the ground. When they bloomed like flowers, even the strength of his own bones was weakened, and he almost knelt down!
Sig easily broke free from the sticky, soft rice in his arms and walked to the front of Katakuri...
