Oven stared at the group of people colliding repeatedly, his expression growing increasingly grim.
Cracker and Snack have used all their strength.
Smoothie's body also absorbed water and continued to grow larger.
Katakuri pushed his Observation Haki, which allows him to Future Sight, to its absolute limit.
But Doflamingo never fell.
Moreover, his white lines were also restricting the four people's movement.
Numerous fine threads have seeped into the ground.
The entire island is almost turning into a battlefield controlled by the String-String Fruit.
"Fufufufufu!"
Doflamingo deflected Katakuri's trident, his laughter growing louder and louder.
" Katakuri, your ability is indeed troublesome."
"They always seem to anticipate my attacks."
Katakuri stepped back.
Are you scared?
"Fear?"
Doflamingo raised his finger.
A white line traced across the side of her face, wiping away a trickle of blood.
"In the past, I might really have had no way to deal with you."
"Your Observation Haki allows you to Future Sight."
"You already know where my attack will land before I even launch it."
Unfortunately, I am different now than I was in the past.
Katakuri's heart sank.
The next second, his Observation Haki allowed him to see hundreds of white lines simultaneously bursting forth from the ground.
"Leave the ground!"
Katakuri a reminder.
The four Sweet Commander leaped up simultaneously.
boom!
The entire island shook violently.
Countless white lines burst forth from the ground, densely blocking out the sky.
Cracker creates a cookie shield to block the first round of white lines.
Snack swung his knife repeatedly, cutting the thin wires that were being shot at him.
Smoothie swept across with her sword, clearing a large area.
Katakuri constantly changes his body shape, allowing the thin threads to pass through the mochi.
There are just too many white lines.
As soon as the previous batch was broken up, the next batch came in from all directions to fill the gap.
Katakuri can see the future, but he cannot shield all four people from all attacks at the same time.
A white line pierced through the biscuit shield, grazing Cracker's shoulder.
Fresh blood gushed out on the spot.
Snack was also entangled in three thin lines around his calves and pulled from mid-air to the ground.
Smoothie swung her sword and cut the white lines, having just saved Snack, when dozens of thin lines covered in Armament Haki shot towards her chest.
Katakuri rushed in front of her.
The trident was swung repeatedly, tearing apart all the white lines.
He was just about to remind the others to change positions when Doflamingo appeared above him.
Haki right foot slammed down.
Katakuri elemental form ahead of schedule.
His head transformed into a ball of glutinous rice and split open to the sides.
Doflamingo's foot passed through the middle, but did not hit his main body.
But Doflamingo didn't pull his leg back.
Several thin threads shot out from the toes, suddenly changed direction, and wrapped around Katakuri's chest.
Katakuri dodged ahead of time once again.
The glutinous rice ball stretched backward, brushing past the thin thread.
"This is really troublesome."
Doflamingo landed back on the ground.
Katakuri also reformed his body.
The two stared at each other from dozens of meters away.
Smoothie, Cracker, and Snack quickly stood beside Katakuri.
All four of them were breathing more heavily than before.
Doflamingo, however, only suffered a few minor injuries.
Cracker could not accept this result.
"How could his strength have increased so much?"
Snack wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Even with the four of us working together, we can only manage a stalemate with him?"
Smoothie gripped the hilt of his sword.
"It's not a stalemate."
He still has energy to spare.
Katakuri did not refute.
He'd already figured it out.
Doflamingo's strength, speed, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities all saw a tremendous increase.
Cracker and Snack's attacks are unlikely to pose a real threat to him.
The only things that Doflamingo truly fears are Smoothie's power and his Future Sight.
Even so, Doflamingo still managed to hold off the combined attack of the four.
This level of combat power has reached the level of a top-tier Admiral.
Doflamingo.
Katakuri in a deep voice.
What exactly did you go through?
"You couldn't possibly improve to this level on your own in such a short time."
Doflamingo spread his arms wide.
Thin lines rose continuously behind him.
"Who told you that this power was something I obtained on my own?"
Katakuri's gaze passed over Doflamingo and landed on Uchiha Xin in the distance.
Doflamingo was once Shichibukai.
He was arrogant and mad, and never truly submitted to anyone.
Even when cooperating with Kaido, Doflamingo was only wary of Kaido's power.
But now, he calls everyone "master."
There was not the slightest bit of reluctance.
All that remains is awe.
Katakuri's unease grew even stronger.
Doflamingo alone, after being strengthened by Uchiha Xin, was able to fight against the Sweet Commanders on his own.
What about Uchiha Xin himself?
Just how strong is he?
Katakuri abruptly turned his head to look in the direction Charlotte Linlin had flown off to.
"Mother..."
On the other side of the island, the ground suddenly exploded.
Charlotte Linlin's enormous body burst out of the deep pit.
She landed on the ground, and large sections of the rock beneath her feet crumbled.
That kick sent her flying hundreds of meters and sank a pirate ship.
But her body had no wounds.
Uchiha Xin looked at her, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Although this kick wasn't delivered with full force, it was enough to seriously injure an ordinary Admiral.
Charlotte Linlin took the hit head-on, yet remained completely unharmed.
" Uchiha Xin!"
Charlotte Linlin clenched her fists.
"How dare you kick me!"
She is Four Emperors of the Sea.
The Queen of Totto Land.
Over the years, no one has dared to kick her off their ship in front of all the members of the Charlotte Family.
This humiliation enraged her completely.
Charlotte Linlin raised her hand to grab the top of her head.
Prometheus!
The Sun Homies quickly fell into her hands.
The flames swelled in the wind, completely enveloping her arms.
" Heavenly Fire!"
Charlotte Linlin slapped down.
A pillar of fire fell from the sky.
Flames engulfed large areas of the island, burning vegetation and rocks simultaneously.
A sea of fire swept towards Uchiha Xin.
The nearby Big Mom Pirates members hurriedly retreated.
"Mom is angry!"
"Get out of the area affected by the Heavenly Fire!"
" The Thunder Emperor will be burned to ashes!"
Uchiha Xin stood still.
He only raised his right hand when the sea of fire was right in front of him.
Shinra Tensei.
boom!
An invisible repulsive force spreads forward.
The engulfing sea of fire stopped instantly.
The next moment, all the flames simultaneously dissipated.
The massive pillar of fire was torn apart from the middle by the repulsive force, turning into countless sparks that rolled back.
Prometheus let out a scream.
Its body was deformed by the repulsive force, making it difficult to even maintain the shape of a flame.
Charlotte Linlin's expression changed, and she immediately withdrew Prometheus.
Zeus!
Thunderclouds rose from beneath her feet.
Dark clouds gathered overhead above Uchiha Xin's head.
A thick bolt of Thunderbolt crashed down from the clouds.
" Thunderbolt!"
Boom!
Lightning illuminated the entire island.
Charlotte Linlin smiled again.
But Uchiha Xin didn't dodge.
He raised his finger and gently beckoned towards the Thunderbolt in the sky.
The Thunderbolt that struck down instantly stopped in mid-air.
