Zephyr shouted, "It's impossible to capture everyone now. Let's just capture as many as we can."

There's no time to hesitate now.

"Clear."

Naito nodded.

Teacher Zephyr is really anxious; well, it's time for World to step up his game too.

"Professor Zephyr, is it just the two of you?"

Vice Admiral Simon spoke in surprise.

"More people would actually make it more dangerous."

Zephyr said, "Even if the operation fails, no one can stop Naito and me from retreating if we want."

"That makes sense, it does."

A bitter smile appeared on Vice Admiral Simon's lips.

Did I hold everyone back?

Zephyr looked at Naito, "Ready?"

Naito shrugged. "Of course."

It was ready much earlier than you think.

"Then, let's go!"

Zephyr launched itself into the air.

Naito followed closely behind.

"Naito!"

On deck, Commodore Doll Dol waved his arms, "Go for it!"

Yes, we definitely need to work harder.

Pirate Island.

The battle remains fierce.

Naito, standing on the ship's railing, twisted his neck.

So, let's get started.

He raised his right hand, and an invisible substance condensed into a giant sword. As he poured Flow Armament Haki into it, the More-More Fruit began to prepare.

The next instant, the giant sword was launched.

The moment the giant sword shot out, the power of the More-More Fruit activated, causing the giant sword to expand in size and its speed to increase dramatically.

The air itself was ignited by friction, leaving a long trail of flame that, due to its immense speed, even drew a crimson line of fire.

At the edge of the fire line, in front of the greatsword, Cracker, who was locked in fierce combat with Weevil, only had time to glance back briefly.

What?

How come, so fast?

Boom!!

The burning giant sword pierced the earth at an angle, instantly creating a deep, smooth crater.

Then, the terrifying kinetic energy carried by the giant sword erupted, causing the entire island to tremble. The coastline shook like a surging sea, the ground crumbled, and the sea boiled!

"Um?"

Naito was slightly surprised as he looked from afar at Charlotte Cracker, who was hanging upside down in mid-air by her ankles, held by a white tentacle.

He couldn't help but look up at Katakuri, who was summoning a giant mochi fist that collided with the flames falling from the sky, and then suddenly landed on the ground.

Future Sight is amazing.

"Cracker, you go deal with that woman."

Katakuri stared intently at Naito, manipulating his mochi tentacles to hurle Cracker into the air.

Ever since he realized that the war would be completely turned upside down once World joined the battle, he had been keeping a close eye on World.

Sure enough, if he had been even slightly careless, Cracker would have been finished.

"Your opponent is me!"

Katakuri's voice was solemn.

This is bad.

The current situation is extremely bad!

"Then let's try to stop it."

Naito said calmly, "Weevil, go ahead and wreak havoc."

"Oh!"

With excited cheers, Weevil charged towards the Charlotte Family executives like a heavy tank.

Katakuri's expression changed slightly, but now, he couldn't stop it.

"So,"

Naito smirked. "Try to stay on your toes."

Momo, speed up!

Bandi World's massive body vanished from the ship's side in an instant.

Katakuri's eyes flashed red as he also sprang forward, directly blocking Daifuku's path as he was fighting Anthony.

The next instant, the trident spun and thrust, "Mochi Thrust!"

The spinning trident collided with the suddenly appearing pale black greatsword.

The earth instantly cracked open, and huge fissures shattered the coastline.

An immense force emanated from the trident, causing Katakuri to grit his teeth and Return.

So heavy!

And, oh no!

Naito's figure paused for a moment, but the next instant, he had already sprang forward again.

"What?"

While Daifuku was controlling the demon and engaging in a passionate battle with Anthony, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and then his body was grabbed by something and dragged backward.

Wow!

He screamed in agony.

A deep, massive wound was cleaved from his left chest to his right abdomen.

"Daifuku!"

Katakuri's pupils trembled.

Even with the fastest maneuvering of the rice cake to grab the Daifuku and try to pull him away, it was still a step too late.

Even if one can foresee the future, the other party can also create a new future based on their own actions.

Moreover, if the opponent is fast enough, Future Sight is not impossible to crack.

Let's continue to peer into the future.

Naito, who had just slashed at Daifuku with his sword, did not stop, but instead snapped his fingers lightly.

They have penetrated deep into the heart of the battlefield, and the vast majority of the Charlotte Family officers are now within firing range.

Without adding any Haki aura, it can be projected remotely.

Try to crack my zero-frame start, Katakuri.

Behind each member of the Charlotte Family, a transparent blade materialized, ready to stab them in the back in the next instant.

"Stop it!!"

Katakuri Awakening and unleashes his full power.

He saw the future.

But it was too fast.

This guy's moves are effective way too fast!

It instantly coalesced behind his younger siblings, ready to pierce through their bodies in the next instant.

What exactly is this guy's ability?

Isn't he Devil Fruit User?

Katakuri gritted his teeth. Even if he manipulated the mochi to grab his younger siblings, it would be useless if they were pulled away before the blade condensed; the blade would simply condense in another place.

Therefore, he could only pull at the moment the blade was fully formed.

The problem is that once the blade is pulled apart, a new one re-forms, and the process never ends.

No matter how much Katakuri can Future Sight, he only has one brain and cannot take care of too many people at the same time.

He could only charge towards Naito, attempting to stop Naito by directly attacking his main body.

However, the speed difference was too great, and Naito easily widened the gap like a phantom.

The result is...

"Wow!"

"Ah! What is this?!"

"It hurts so much—my stomach has been pierced through—"

Screams gradually rose in intensity.

In just one minute of intense offense and defense, apart from Cracker who used his Haki defense in time, all the other Charlotte executives were hit.

Even Charlotte Oven was stabbed in the shoulder, and Daifuku, who was already Daifuku injured, was stabbed in the waist. Not to mention the others, almost all of them had lost their fighting ability.

It wasn't over yet. Weevil arrived, and Salt, Anthony, and the other fugitives were still eyeing him covetously.

Various attacks were unleashed without hesitation.

In an instant, Charlotte Family executives suffered heavy casualties.

"World!!"

Enrage made Katakuri's eyes bloodshot, and his berserk Conqueror's Haki began to roar.

At that moment, Naito appeared directly in front of Katakuri, "You're angry, aren't you?"

He gripped a transparent greatsword with both hands, simultaneously unleashing his Haki and the More-More Fruit.
