"Was it you who killed Cracker?"
Katakuri's voice was low, yet it held enough fury to freeze the very air.
"It was."
Ye Chuan answered calmly.
"Very well."
Katakuri wasted no more words. He simply, slowly pointed the trident Mogura in his hand at Ye Chuan.
As Ye Chuan looked at the man before him, he could not help admiring him.

In the original story, he had even come close to utterly defeating Luffy in Gear Fourth. His strength had probably long been severely underestimated by that billion-berry bounty.
