Have You Ever Heard of the Palm Strike That Descends from the Heavens?
Atlas raised an eyebrow, showing no surprise whatsoever, and gave Katakuri a sinister grin, "I predicted your prediction!"
If Katakuri's Observation Haki can predict what might happen within 3 seconds, then Atlas, with his Sheep Talisman, can predict it for a full 5 seconds!
Not good!
Katakuri suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, and his Observation Haki began to flash warnings.
Pity.
It's too late!!
Boom--!!
An explosion rang out, and a massive burst of flames completely engulfed Katakuri. Atlas, meanwhile, retreated rapidly, silently watching the mushroom cloud bloom.
That attack just now was not simply the Explosion of the Dragon Talisman; it also unleashed a burst of Advanced Armament Haki and Internal Destruction techniques.
Even Katakuri.
That's enough to give him a good scolding!
"Cough cough..."
As the smoke cleared, Katakuri's disheveled figure gradually came into view. The scarf that had covered his jaw was gone, revealing a gaping maw with fangs right in front of Atlas.
The charred, blackened dough began to fall off, revealing a deep fist-shaped mark on its chest.
"Puff--!!"
A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, not even bothering to cover his exposed fangs.
Inside the body, a glutinous mass of glutinous rice balls quickly glued the shattered internal organs back together.
One punch!
Just one punch was enough to overwhelm him!
He now realized that the person in front of him was merely an equal to him four years ago.
We have now undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of the world!
There's no time to hesitate any longer; we must stall until Mom arrives, otherwise he and Smoothie...
I might never be able to leave this island again!
Thinking of this, a hint of ferocity flashed across his face. The assimilated glutinous rice balls around him surged wildly, and two enormous hands suddenly appeared on either side of Atlas, their Armament Haki Infusion around them.
They suddenly launched a combined attack on Atlas, who was positioned in the middle!
[Mochi Palm]

Chapter 212 Have you ever heard of a palm strike that falls from the sky?
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Thump thump thump--!!
"Please come in!"
Sengoku continued to work on the documents in his hands, head bowed.
The current Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Sky, is already vying for the Commander-in-Chief, and naval affairs are basically left to him to handle.
The Sengoku is now essentially the crown prince regent, only lacking the formal conferment of the Fleet Admiral.
As the undisputed next Fleet Admiral, he must have a lot to deal with every day.
Unlike Garp, who seemed so carefree and relaxed.
Garp...
Sengoku's blood pressure would spike at the mere thought of Garp.
If Garp hadn't repeatedly refused the promotion to Admiral, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.
"Admiral of the Sengoku, you..."
The naval Colonel had just knocked on the door had no idea what Sengoku was thinking.
Seeing Sengoku's furious expression, I assumed Sengoku was in a bad mood today and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Sengoku was startled, but he forced himself to remain calm and quickly regained his composure, speaking in a deep voice.
Is there anything you need to report to me?
"Reporting to Sengoku Admiral, our personnel monitoring the Big Mom Pirates have discovered that Big Mom has left the Totto Land Waters!"
In fact, the navy sends a large number of spies to monitor the territory of each Emperor of the Sea, since each Emperor of the Sea is a mobile war fortress.
It can be said that moving one thing can affect the whole situation.
The navy must have a grasp of their general movements!
Have you found out her purpose?
Sengoku felt a little heavy-hearted. That crazy woman, Big Mom, never went out without something good happening.
"Uh, I don't know. As you know, Admiral, among the territories of the three Emperor of the Sea, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates are the most difficult to monitor."
The Whole Totto Land Waters of the Big Mom Pirates are filled with Homies, creations of her own abilities.
For the navy to infiltrate is nothing short of a pipe dream.
They can only monitor the Totto Land Waters from a distance, 24 hours a day, in shifts.
As for the Beasts Pirates, due to the unique ocean currents, the Navy has not yet found a safe passage to enter Wano Country.
The only couple that was successfully arranged to enter Wano Country last time has actually been exposed.
It seems it's time to start arranging undercover agents to infiltrate the various Pirates crews...
Sengoku couldn't help but tap his index finger slowly on the table, beginning to rethink the naval strategy.
The Navy actually has a secret special force, but it was established not long ago. It is specifically responsible for monitoring the movements of the Four Emperors and other great Pirates who pose a great threat, but for now it is only on the surface.
Unlike more than a decade later, when the inner workings of the Emperor of the Sea were completely infiltrated.
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Sengoku was taken aback, looking at the naval Colonel who had not yet left.
"I noticed you seemed to be thinking about something, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"Also, we just received a call from Vice Admiral the Tokikake."
"Kaido of the Beasts..."
"They sank the prison ship and escaped!"
The naval Colonel said with a wry smile.
This is the first time Kaido has managed to sink a prison ship and escape. Previously, the Navy had always sentenced him to death, but now they have no choice but to send him to Impel Down.
Unexpected.
This guy actually managed to sink the prison ship and escape while Seastone chains.
"What!!?"
Sengoku was shocked and jumped up from his seat, forgetting all about maintaining the demeanor of Admiral.
Kaido, that guy...
Is it his Devil Fruit Ability that's special, or does he possess some inherent ability that allows him to ignore high-purity Seastone?
It's important to know that the Navy took this escort of Kaido seriously, even using the purest Seastone shackles from Marine Headquarters.
"I understand. You can go out now. Report back to me if there are any developments with BIG MOM."
"Yes! Admiral of the Sengoku!"
After the Colonel left, Sengoku stared at the unfinished documents on the table, lost in thought.
He remembered.
When Kaido was being taken to the prison ship, it seems that the Cipher Pol saw him once on the orders of the Five Elders, but Sengoku didn't know the specifics.
The Cipher Pol did not allow the Navy to be present.
After a long while, Sengoku slowly picked up the tea that had long since gone cold and took a sip. His black frog eyes were backlit, making it impossible to see his expression.
World Government...
On the other side, Broccoli Island.
Facing the enormous hand that unleashed terrifying gusts of wind, Atlas remained unmoved, as steady as a rock.
Clang--!!
The giant hands clasped together, and a clear, resonant sound rang out, like a temple bell, clear, far-reaching, and lingering!
"Not good!"
Upon seeing this, Katakuri was more surprised than pleased.
Because the two enormous hands were not completely closed; Atlas was casually spreading them apart.
No matter how Katakuri tried to control it, he couldn't make any progress.
"Hey!"
"Have you heard of...?"
"A palm strike that descended from the sky?"
Atlas grinned, the sun shining brightly.
"... Um!!?"
Katakuri suddenly looked up and saw a huge hand made of seawater that had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time, rushing downwards at high speed.
And the goal.
That's exactly where he is!
"Chestnut Mochi!!"
With a furious roar, a giant Donut appeared above his head, covered by Armament Haki, and countless spikes emerged, shooting towards the giant hand!
Swish--!!
Without any pause, the giant seawater mercilessly swallowed up the spikes!
"Hateful!"
"Mochi Palm!"
With no other option, Katakuri summoned two enormous, jet-black hands once more.
However, it wasn't used to attack Atla; instead, he interlaced his fingers and quickly enveloped his entire body.
Boom!!!
The giant palm of the sea slammed down!
The entire Broccoli Island trembled inexplicably, and the land where the port is located sank by a third!
Splash--!!
The seawater receded.
Katakuri, panting heavily, gripped the Mogura tightly in his right hand, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and looked up at Atlas, who had broken free of his restraints and was walking towards him step by step.
"Give up! Don't you realize you're no match for me?"
Atlas's clothes were completely undamaged, his body was spotless, and his gaze was calm.
"Isn't it better to surrender than to suffer a beating?"
What do you think?
