A Three-on-Three Agreement

Charlotte Katakuri made the first move, throwing his trident directly at Garling...

The trident shot out like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Garling. Garling's expression changed drastically...

He was also aware of Charlotte Katakuri's strength. After all, he had come to Wano Country to complete the mission given to him by Imu, so naturally he needed to understand those who could threaten him.

Charlotte Katakuri is one of them.

However, my previous understanding was limited to what I read on paper.

But now, it's face-to-face.

Only at this moment could he truly appreciate its reality and strength.

Garling's expression changed.

The sword in his hand was instantly drawn, and then swung out with lightning speed and precision, directly meeting Charlotte Katakuri's trident attack.

"Clang..."

The trident was deflected by his strike and landed beside him.

"Chop, slice, rice cake!"

But Charlotte Katakuri himself was right behind the trident. Or rather, the trident was just a feint. His real killing move was himself.

He transformed his arm into a rice cake, which expanded and became a mace-like shape. He then combined it with Armament Haki, spun it at high speed, and struck at Garling like a meteor hammer.

It is extremely powerful and fast. In the original work, it was able to Luffy in his Gear Fourth Snake-Man into the abyss and make him lose consciousness. It is one of Katakuri's ultimate moves.

It must be said that Charlotte Katakuri did not underestimate Garling in the slightest, and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

Garling's expression changed drastically. Having just slashed the trident away, he only had time to retrieve his sword and hold it in front of him.

The next second.

Charlotte Katakuri's attack has arrived.

The powerful impact made Garling feel as if he had been hit by a train.

His entire body tensed up, and at this moment, under duress, he unleashed all his strength. Even so, he continued to retreat.

However, his legs did not move an inch.

He dragged two deep gashes into the ground. After more than ten meters, Garling felt the power weaken considerably as he struggled to resist. He stomped his foot hard, and the powerful force shattered the ground.

The person also came to an abrupt stop.

However, due to excessive force, his muscles bulged as if they had exploded. His slightly loose clothes were also stretched and torn.

"Drink..."

Then, with a Garling shout, Katakuri back. The force of the reaction sent Charlotte Katakuri into the air. Then, his hand, under the influence of his ability...

It lengthened, grabbed the trident stuck in the ground, and retrieved it. Finally, it somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

"Collapse..."

If Charlotte Katakuri were to launch another attack in the next instant...

"Mochi Thrust!"

With a powerful thrust of his legs, he charged towards Garling once again.

Simultaneously, using the Devil Fruit Ability, he transforms his arm into a mochi ball that surrounds his weapon, the trident. He then continuously rotates his arm and thrusts it forward with immense power. If someone were hit by this, they would be pierced through.

By this time, Garling had recovered.

However, at this moment, the way he looked at Charlotte Katakuri had completely changed. Gone was the disdainful attitude he had shown as Celestial Dragons.

All that remained was solemnity.

Only now did he understand.

The Charlotte Katakuri before him was definitely no less powerful than him. Moreover, this guy didn't seem to care about being Celestial Dragons or a Knights of God.

On the contrary, it will make them even more excited.

Garling frowned, which greatly displeased him. In his view, as Celestial Dragons, he could disregard everything, while others had to obey unconditionally.

Anyone who dares to rebel should be wiped off this world.

"Kill..."

Garling lowered his body slightly, bent his knees slightly, and leaned forward.

"Collapse..."

He shot out like a cannonball, his longsword flashing as it clashed violently with Charlotte Katakuri's trident in mid-air.

The immense power clashed continuously between the two.

Shockwave rippled outwards from the two of them, not only making their clothes rustle loudly but also shattering the ground.

It rose to the surface.

It was as if gravity had been lost.

"A good opportunity..." Saint Puck and Od Saint exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.

Keep in mind that Charlotte Katakuri and Garling full power at that moment and had no time to spare. If they were to intervene now, even if they couldn't kill him instantly, they could certainly severely injure him.

The thought of this made the two of them eager to make a move.

Just then, five deadly attacks locked onto them.

The four—Jin, Yixiao, Shiryu, Enel —had murderous intent in their eyes.

Saint Puck and Od Saint stiffened involuntarily. Being stared at by four people who were no weaker than them, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Smiled, he added, "Since Charlotte Katakuri said he'd let Korin leave if he Garling, we absolutely won't break our word. So you'd better not get involved in their fight. Otherwise, don't blame us for ganging up on you."

Enel has been itching to do it for a long time.

If Charlotte Katakuri hadn't made the first move, he definitely would have rushed out. He'd missed the big battles before, but this time, he absolutely wouldn't miss it again.

He held his head high, an air of utter disdain for the world, and pointed at Od Saint: "After they're done, it'll be your duel. Again, if you defeat me, you can leave this place; otherwise... I'll electrocute you!"

"Crackling... cracking..."

As he spoke, a powerful electric current crackled in his hand, conveying a sense of warning and threat.

"Asshole..."

Od Saint cursed under his breath, but abandoned his plan to launch a sneak attack, and didn't refute it. He knew perfectly well that this was their only chance to live.

Even if he really didn't want to admit it.

Meanwhile, Shiryu let out a mocking laugh. He then drew his longsword from his waist and pointed it at Saint Puck: "Then the third match will be between you and me. The rules are the same: the winner leaves."

Jin looked at Yixiao, and Yixiao seemed to sense it, turning his head to look at Jin with his eyes that could no longer see.

Then they fell silent.

They truly hadn't expected that Charlotte Katakuri, Enel, and Shiryu were all so belligerent. They didn't even get a chance to make a move...
