"Kill!" "Fire!" "Bomb them!"
Shanks led the Azure Emperor Pirates toward the Big Mom Pirates.
The cannonballs rained down on the Big Mom Pirates ' fleet, blotting out the sky. " The Azure Emperor Pirates ' fleet is attacking! Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Upon seeing the Azure Emperor Pirates ' fleet approaching, Charlotte Zucotto immediately ordered her Big Mom Pirates fleet to counterattack.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw himself enveloped by a dark shadow.
Charlotte Zucotto turned around and saw a huge figure appear behind him.
Upon seeing the figure, Charlotte Zucotto didn't even recognize who it was before grabbing her pistol and preparing to shoot.
But just as he raised his hand, the other person slapped him across the face.
"Bang!" Charlotte Zuku's body vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
Everyone watched this scene in shock.
"Damn it!" At that moment, a trident flew from behind and stabbed fiercely into the bear's back.
"25 swish!" The bear vanished instantly, moving three meters away, causing the trident attack to miss.
"You bastard, we absolutely cannot let you do whatever you want anymore!" A figure appeared quickly, grabbed the trident stuck in the ground, and looked at the bear, saying this.
The person who chased after them was none other than Katakuri.
As soon as Katakuri finished speaking, the deck of the ship beneath his feet underwent a tremendous change.
The ship, originally made of wood and steel, suddenly turned into a sticky rice ball.
" Devil Fruit Awakening! That's quite rare!" Kuma exclaimed in surprise as he saw the ship's deck beneath his feet turn into a sticky mass, which then stuck to him and wrapped around his feet.
He recognized this phenomenon; it was a form of Devil Fruit Awakening.
There are very few people on the high seas today who can develop their Devil Fruit to the point of Awakening.
Especially those with Paramecia Logia Devil Fruit User.
Furthermore, anyone who can develop their Devil Fruit to the point of Awakening is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
For example, the Azure Emperor, and Bullet.
The bear tugged at its feet, which were tangled in the glutinous rice balls, but couldn't free them for a moment.
As expected, every Devil Fruit Awakening is incredibly troublesome; this is going to be a problem.
"Die!" Katakuri Mochi Thrust at the bear once more.
Just then, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Kuma, blocking Katakuri strike. " Red-Haired Shanks!"
Katakuri looked at the person who had blocked his thrust, and immediately recognized him by his striking Red Hair; he knew that the person was the commander of the Azure Emperor Pirates.
The First Division commander of the Azure Emperor Pirates, known as Shanks the Red Hair.
"Sorry, Kuma, I've taken your opponent. Our strategist told me I absolutely must take down Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates. How about I leave this to me?" Shanks said to Kuma behind him after blocking Katakuri's trident.
"I don't mind, but be careful, your opponent might be Awakening Logia, and they can predict your attacks!" Kuma said.
As it spoke, the bear unleashed two Ursus Shock from its paws, shattering the glutinous rice ball beneath its feet, before disappearing from its spot.
Katakuri frowned as he watched the bear disappear.
He wanted to chase after him, but he had to stop because there was an even more troublesome guy in front of him.
From the Shanks appeared, Katakuri sensed that the person before him was no ordinary character.
" Logia Devil Fruit Awakening? That's really a rare thing!" Shanks said with a smile.
" Red-Haired Shanks, you've come at the right time. I was just about to see what kind of monster could be entrusted with such an important task by the Azure Emperor!" "But now that I see it, it's not a big deal!" Katakuri said mockingly, trying to provoke Shanks.
"I'm nothing special, but I'm more than capable of taking on the Big Mom Pirates. After all, I am the First Division commander of the Azure Emperor Pirates!" Shanks said with a smile.
"What arrogance! You want to defeat Mother? Let the Azure Emperor come in person!" As Katakuri spoke, the mochi ball beneath his feet coiled around Shanks.
"Hmph." Shanks stomped his foot, Armament Haki burst forth from his body, shattering the incoming dough ball.
"Has his Haki reached this level? No wonder he's the captain of the First Division of the Azure Emperor Pirates." Katakuri's eyes narrowed upon seeing Shanks' Haki. " Peerless Donut!" " Power Mochi!"
Katakuri's expression turned extremely serious, and he immediately unleashed a powerful technique he had recently developed.
Two mochi balls split off from the mochi ball that had been awakened by Katakuri's Devil Fruit Awakening and flew up, turning into two donut-shaped pieces.
From each donut, a fist-shaped arm extends.
The fist and arm were imbued with powerful Armament Haki.
Katakuri slammed his trident into the ground, his two 790-degree fists unleashing their unparalleled Monster Strength as he struck at Shanks. "Not bad, but he's Paramecia Devil Fruit User, isn't he?"
"Clang! Clang!" Shanks unleashed a series of sword strikes, deflecting Katakuri's incoming fist.
" Divine Departure!" Shanks slashed out with his sword at that moment.
A powerful, impactful slash pierced through the air.
The Divine Departure was originally Roger's move, Shanks greatly admired and learned from Roger.
Seeing Shanks unleash his sword strike, Katakuri's expression turned serious as he blocked it with both hands.
At the same time, a giant Armament Haki arm made of Power Mochi blocked the attack, protecting Katakuri.
The Divine Departure strike landed on the enormous arm formed from the Power Mochi.
The palm strike and the Armament Haki on the Power Mochi vibrated and resisted each other.
At that moment, Shanks vanished from his spot.
When it reappeared, it was already behind Katakuri.
"Swish swish swish!" Sword energy flew around Katakuri, slashing Katakuri in multiple places.
"Hmm? No wonder Zesi said you'd be a problem. So that's it. You can see that too, can you?" Shanks turned around with a slight surprise and smiled.
