Without dwelling on it further, Katakuri suddenly stopped attacking and placed one hand on the ground. With his Awakening active, he turned the entire ground into mochi, and countless long strands burst from its surface, sticking to Lin Mo's Fairy Sphere from every direction.
In the blink of an eye, mochi covered the entire Fairy Sphere.
Then, under Katakuri's control, the mochi began contracting inward, trying to crush the Fairy Sphere and Lin Mo along with it.
Of course, Katakuri knew perfectly well that pressure of this level couldn't break the Fairy Sphere. But he also knew Lin Mo would dispel it himself and break out of the mochi.
Sure enough, shortly after the mochi completely engulfed the Fairy Sphere, several flashes of sword light suddenly appeared across its pure-white surface. With a bang, the mochi encasing it was sliced into several pieces that scattered in every direction.
Just as Lin Mo broke through the mochi surrounding him, Katakuri appeared before him. He instantly created nine doughnuts, from which nine enormous arms reinforced with block-shaped mochi emerged, swinging viciously at Lin Mo from every angle.
Lin Mo reacted swiftly, using the speed of Flash Step and the guidance of his Observation Haki to slip through the gaps between the nine enormous fists.
But before he could stop, Katakuri appeared ahead of him, right where he was about to land, and instantly created another two enormous doughnuts on the ground.
An enormous block-shaped mochi arm with a clenched fist immediately surged from each doughnut. Katakuri then swung his own fists to control the massive, reinforced arms extending from them, bringing them crashing down on Lin Mo once more with monstrous strength.
In the future, Katakuri's Power Mochi would be a strength-based technique capable of easily knocking Luffy back in Gear Fourth
