BIG MOM's Fury
With things having come to this, Katakuri didn't think twice and yelled loudly towards Smoothie's Bedroom. Now, his only option was to ask Big Mom for help.
"What? It's just Pizarro, Katakuri, do you have to be so cautious?"
Smoothie, somewhat disgruntled, muttered to herself as she walked out of the room.
To her, Katakuri was a very strong and reliable older brother who had always taken good care of his younger siblings like a father. He was also recognized by the family for his strength. This was the first time Smoothie had ever seen Katakuri so out of control.
"I'm not kidding, Smoothie, that man is on this island right now!"
Katakuri voice.
Who is it?
"Admiral Candidate Admiral White Hou!"
"It was him--!?"
Smoothie was startled. Although she had never seen Atlas in person, she had a very deep impression of Atlas.
Several years ago, he was able to hold his own against Katakuri's brother, and even went to the Totto Land Waters to cause trouble several times. The most serious time, he even attracted his mother's personal pursuit, but he still managed to escape!
Her recent battle with Kaido caused quite a stir. At just over twenty years old, she was able to fight Kaido, who is on par with her mother, to a standstill.
Without a doubt, that admiral Candidate Admiral was a complete monster.
"Can't we turn back now?"
"No, he's already discovered us. You don't know, his Observation Haki..."
"They're now on par with me, maybe even stronger!!"
Katakuri smiled wryly; if he could leave, he wouldn't have said those words.
"What!!?"
It's important to understand that while Katakuri Awakening Haki at the age of three, he only truly mastered Observation Haki to its peak a few years ago. As for Future Sight...
Could that man do it too?
Smoothie instinctively looked toward the approaching port.
Suddenly, a pure white figure burst into view.
"Now that you're here, just stay on the boat. Remember to call your mom for help; I'll try my best to hold that guy off."
After saying that, Katakuri walked towards Atlas.
Broccoli Island, port.
The civilians in the surrounding area had been dispersed by the navy, and the already somewhat dilapidated port now appeared even more desolate, with only a few lonely Pirates ships quietly anchored.
After beheading Pizarro, Atlas quickly arrived at the port, coldly watching the Queen Mama Chanter slowly approach and Katakuri disembark from the ship.
"I didn't expect the Big Mom Pirates to be interested in this island too?"
Atlas spoke coldly.
"Our objective is Pizarro; we don't want a conflict with your navy!"
"Conflict? You think you can Katakuri?"
Although I hate to admit it, Katakuri is indeed a man worthy of respect, but being born into the Charlotte Family is his greatest tragedy.
He was like a ferocious beast in shackles; even with sharp teeth and claws, he was nothing more than a puppet on a string.
"Hand over Pizarro. Mom is on her way. I'm sure you don't want to see her angry, do you?"
Although Atlas recently fought Kaido and proved that he had reached the pinnacle of his strength, Katakuri does not believe that he can withstand his mother's wrath.
Big Mom, who was already famous during the Rocks era, is now undoubtedly at her peak. Although she may be slightly weaker than Whitebeard, she is definitely stronger than Kaido.
"So, Pizarro's actions on this island were orchestrated by the Big Mom Pirates?"
A knowing glint flashed in Atlas's eyes.
Although Atlas could hear the Pirates talking loudly outside the tavern, the noise was too overwhelming, and he could only vaguely make out the name BIG MOM. Therefore, Atlas naturally had no idea what the BIG MOM Pirates were up to.
Katakuri was taken aback, then quickly realized, "My goal is to bring Pizarro back to Totto Land to face my mother's punishment."
"Oh dear, it seems there was a misunderstanding!"
"Never mind, since we're here, we might as well stay!"
"If your greatest masterpiece of the Charlotte Family were to be destroyed here, Big Mom would surely be furious, wouldn't she?"
Atlas chuckled with a hint of amusement.
"Stop talking big! I'm not going to surrender so easily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Katakuri waved his hand, and a white, glutinous rice ball surged forth, revealing a trident in his hand. The sharp blade pointed at Atlas, his expression cold and stern.
"I want to see if your strength has changed as drastically as the rumors suggest over the past few years!"
This guy...
Atlas narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"If you think you can just slink away like you did a few years ago, it won't be that easy."
Atlas knew very well that Katakuri was probably still a little unconvinced. In the battle four years ago, he hadn't used his full strength. Even though he wasn't yet proficient with his newly Awakening Devil Fruit Ability, he definitely wouldn't be too badly defeated by Atlas.
"..."
Without rebuttal, the arm gripping the Mogura quickly transformed into a white glutinous rice ball, tightly wrapping around the end of the trident. The large amount of glutinous rice ball began to spin at high speed, and terrifying wind pressure swept outwards. The tip of the trident even sparked a lot of sparks from friction with the air, and Armament Haki covered it.
"Mochi Thrust!!"
Chapter 211 The Enraged Big Mom
On the Queen Mama Chanter.
Smoothie nervously dialed Big Mom's number, her face looking rather grim.
Although the failure of this mission was due to force majeure.
However, given Big Mom's personality, punishment is inevitable.
"Hey, hey, hey! Smoothie, why are you calling me? Did you manage to catch that bastard Pizarro?"
The call connected, and BIG MOM's signature laughter came through the receiver.
Glug--!
Smoothie swallowed hard, her voice strained, and said, "Mom, we've run into a little trouble here."
"Um--!?"
The drawn-out melody made Smoothie's heart pound with anxiety.
She knew this was a prelude to her mother's impending anger.
"Mom, we encountered the White Hou. That guy appeared on Broccoli Island for some reason."
Without giving Big Mom time to make a move, Smoothie quickly explained the current situation.
"White Hou?"
"It's Kanos Atlas, the Marine who fought Kaido a Hiyori."
"Atlas? Oh my god! I remember now, it was that brat. What an annoying memory."
On the other end of the phone, BIG MOM grimaced, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly recalling something very unpleasant.
"Hold him off, I'm going to settle this score with him this time! Mwah mwah mwah!"
BIG MOM clearly remembered that Atlas killed Oven and frequently harassed the Totto Land Waters.
She is...
Extremely vengeful!!!
Broccoli Island, port.
The trident, spinning at high speed, hurtled towards Atlas's face with terrifying force, accompanied by countless booming sounds and violent turbulence in the surrounding air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Atlas calmly watched the oncoming Mogura, his eyes flashing red, and he forcefully shifted his body to the side, barely dodging the trident's blade.
Top- Observation Haki Future Sight!
Really...
This guy's Observation Haki has reached the same level as his.
During their last encounter, Katakuri had already sensed that Atlas's Observation Haki was not far from Future Sight.
However, despite this.
He still hadn't anticipated that this "not far" would actually only take a few short years.
However, Katakuri was wrong. In fact, not long after being chased by BIG MOM, Atlas had already successfully achieved the ability to Future Sight with the help of the Sheep Talisman.
And this was something only Marco was aware of.
Although both were the right-hand men of the Three Emperors 'Pirates crews, they weren't close enough to talk about anything. Every time they met, they were either fighting or fighting.
"You're too slow, Katakuri!"
Atlas couldn't help but lightly tap his brow and chuckle softly.
"Although your strength is much greater than before, but..."
"My progress is far greater than you can imagine!!"
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Atlas charged forward, leaving a large crater in his wake. Flames shot up from his hands, and a powerful Explosion force flickered within them.
Almost instantly, the enormous fist struck Katakuri.
"Let me show you just how big the gap is between us!"
Atlas's application of Dragon Talisman is no longer simply about spewing out Explosive Flame; he can achieve unexpected effects through the reaction force generated by a momentary burst of power.
Just like Akainu developing the Magma-Magma Fruit, he didn't just focus on the high heat of the magma. Instead, he transformed his body into a volcano, using the explosive force generated during a volcanic eruption to defeat his enemies!
Even Katakuri, who was mentally prepared, slightly changed his expression when faced with this powerful punch.
Without hesitation, he used the Devil Fruit Awakening, and the surrounding buildings and land were quickly assimilated into white mochi!
A thick, black protective wall suddenly appeared in front of them.
Boom--!!
A massive explosion rang out, and a terrifying shockwave surged forth. A fist carrying immense explosive force slammed into the protective wall, the massive Explosive Flame clinging to the bone like a malignant sore.
It quickly engulfed the entire protective wall!
The seemingly impenetrable wall collapsed rapidly, and a giant arm burst through it in an instant!
"This level of explosive power..."
Seeing this, Katakuri's heart grew even heavier, but his mind remained surprisingly calm, and a flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes.
It must be admitted that Atlas is much more troublesome than he was a few years ago, when he only had a slight advantage over Katakuri in terms of strength.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, both their physique and strength have shown a complete dominance over him!
But.
He couldn't afford to have any other thoughts at that moment.
Atlas's fist is about to strike!
--[shrink]
His chest caved in abruptly as a fist, brimming with destructive power, pierced through Katakuri's body.
"But I am..."
