Whoosh... da!!
Phil landed smoothly on the ground, his right arm still wrapped with the severed arm of the Biscuit Soldiers.
Bang...
Phil reached out, pulled it away, and threw it to the ground with a dull thud.
" George, turn the ship around immediately. We need to take this opportunity to leave. We'll hold off these enemies. As for Luo Chen, don't worry about him..."
Phil, clutching his injured arm with his left hand, turned to George and gave him instructions.
"Okay, I understand. I'll leave this to you..."
George, knowing the gravity of the situation, nodded to him, accepting the task and mission entrusted to him, and turned to run towards the cabin.
Bang...
Meanwhile, Cracker had come to his senses and broke free from the human-shaped opening in the fence. Amidst the flying wood chips, he looked at George, who was trying to run into the control room, and immediately gave him orders.
"Stop him!!"
Upon receiving its master's order, the mindless Biscuit Soldiers gripped its sword and slashed at him.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
"Heh, trying to run away? Not so easy."
Several longsword blades swept across, and Cracker's lips curled into a sinister grin.
"Um..."
" Giant... Heavy Fist!!"
" The Hundred Generations Hard Staff Dance!!"
"Secret Technique... Instant Body Slash!!"
boom...
Fists flashed, staffs gleamed, and swords gleamed as the three soldiers exploded in front of George, turning into biscuit crumbs that scattered everywhere.
"Hurry up, don't linger, we'll handle this..."
Catherine turned her head and reminded George.
"Understood..."
George nodded and continued charging forward.
"Do you need my help?"
Meanwhile, Violet and Lulith, who had recently joined them, arrived one after another, asking if there was anything they could do to help.
"Why don't you and Lulith go see George and see if he needs any help? We don't need your assistance here..."
While holding her sword and keeping a watchful eye on the Cracker Biscuit Soldiers and Chess Soldiers who could attack at any moment, Catherine gave them instructions.
"Okay, I understand. We'll head over now..."
Violet knew she hadn't fully gained their trust yet, and they couldn't entrust their backs to her, so she nodded and accepted Catherine's request, following George's lead with Lulith.
" Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!"
" Kaku Mochi!!"
boom...
On the Charlotte Family's flagship, Luo Chen and Katakuri unleashed their attacks simultaneously, fist against fist, Haki against Haki clashing head-on. The armor cracked, wood chips flew everywhere, and the intense shockwave cleared everything around them, leaving no one able to intervene.
Bang...
A few seconds later, the two separated again, adjusted their momentum, and charged forward once more.
boom...
Click...
Splash!
The battle continued, with dark clouds gathering in the sky as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth were sinking. The waves surged, and several small warships were unable to withstand the surging waves and were swept into the sea.
" Katakuri- san, we have to end this battle right away, or else..."
Behind Katakuri, two Den Den Mushi rang simultaneously, with the anxious shouts of Sweet Commander Smoothie and Snack coming through, excitedly reminding him.
Bang...
Katakuri, like Luo Chen before him, was also held up by the other party and unable to spare a moment to respond to them.
Clang...
The sword blade and the halberd tip clashed once more, sparks and lightning flying, a deafening roar accompanied by intense vibrations that spread outwards.
brush...
"What? Aren't you going to talk to your younger siblings? They seem really anxious, or are they too busy with me to respond to them?"
Taking advantage of the distance, Luo Chen once again provoked the other party with words, hoping to make him reveal a weakness.
"Stop using these useless tricks. If we can't defeat me, we won't just slink away like this. Instead of using these pointless tactics, we should think of a good way to deal with me..."
" Mochi... Ten Fist Hands!!"
After saying that, Katakuri extended ten Mochi Tentacles from behind and shaped them into fists, wrapped in Armament Haki, and formed ten black arms, which blasted towards Luo Chen from different directions.
"Hahaha, interesting... Shigan Secret Technique... Rapid-Fire Gun!!"
Luo Chen laughed heartily as he watched the fists raining down from all directions. Then he raised both arms, extended his index fingers, and fired them forward like machine gun fire.
Bang bang bang...
Bang bang bang...
A dark red finger, comparable to that of a sniper rifle, struck Katakuri's ten black fists, producing a series of impact sounds as powerful bursts of energy emanated and spread around the two.
"How is it? Has Katakuri replied to us?"
On the outside of the Isel, Sweet Commander Snack spoke into Smoothie's Den Den Mushi in his palm, asking a question.
"No, they still haven't responded to us!!"
Smoothie looked at the Den Den Mushi on the other side, which was wearing a scarf and had a haughty expression, remaining silent, and shook her head in reply.
"What should we do? According to our men, a massive storm is approaching. If we don't evacuate in time..."
Snack's words made it very clear that he was uneasy about the impending storm. His men had told him it was a massive storm, no less powerful than the one that struck the Golden Lion and Roger at the Edd War Sea more than twenty years ago.
Even the once-dominant Golden Lion was defeated by the weather, let alone them? So when Snack learned that a storm was coming, he wanted to run away as fast as he could, but he held back and kept asking Katakuri's orders.
"It's time to go, there's no point in staying any longer..."
Not far from them, on a magic carpet flying through the sky Mammon reminded Asmodeus behind him.
Oh, let's go!
Huh?! What happened? Weren't you planning to get involved? Why did you turn around?!
Asmodeus, who was dozing off behind him, didn't react at first when he heard Mammon's words. He mumbled a reply, then was startled awake and looked at him with surprise.
"No, there's no chance to intervene if we continue. Their battle will end soon. They've all held back in the face of this apocalyptic storm, not using their true trump cards. So there's no point in us continuing to watch. We might as well go to their next destination and look for an opportunity to strike..."
Mammon watched the battle between Katakuri and Luo Chen from beginning to end. As someone whose strength was close to that of a King, he could naturally see that both sides were holding back and restraining each other, and that they were not truly fighting to the death.
Having thought this through, he knew what would likely happen next, so he decided to stop observing and leave immediately.
"Really?! I understand now, let's go!"
... Magic carpet... Gale!!
Asmodeus's hands radiated eerie purple energy, and with a ripple, the magic carpet beneath them suddenly increased in speed, carrying the two of them away into the distance.
"Get out of the Isel... Giant... Wrestling!!"
On the Isel, Singh roared and charged forward.
boom...
The Biscuit Soldiers carrying Cracker was Charge into the chest by an unstoppable force. Its limbs curled up, and it crashed through the railing like a ball, slamming into Charlotte's warship on the opposite side. The Biscuit Soldiers on the ship were scattered by Catherine and the others in an instant, and the invading enemies on the ship were wiped out in an instant.
"Everyone, get ready! We're about to break through the encirclement!!"
Inside the cabin, George's slightly excited voice could be heard. Then, the outer wheels of the ship started moving, and with the help of Violet and Lulith, the canvas was folded up, and the bow was turned towards the weakest point.
Bang...
"Damn it, all of you get going and set sail right now! I'm going to catch up with them and tear them to pieces..."
"Yes!!"
Cracker, after struggling to his feet again, immediately ordered a pursuit.
A warship was hot on its Isel, shells exploding behind it.
