Chapter 417: Katakuri
"Charlotte! Don't even think about running!"
Charlotte Linlin's eyes burned red as she roared at Charlotte!
Charlotte, sprinting away, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Which of her eyes saw him running?
He was just trying to find a better place to fight!
With a few quick leaps, Charlotte landed on an unnamed island.
Seeing Linlin in hot pursuit, he turned and slashed with his sword!
The sword energy split the sea—
Unstoppable, it tore toward Charlotte Linlin!
"Emperor Sword: Piercing Blade!"
Charlotte Linlin covered Napoleon with Prometheus's flames and swung to intercept the incoming slash!
"Charlotte! Die!!"
She leapt onto the island,
Grabbed Zeus in one hand—
"Thunder Command!"
A bolt of lightning shot from Zeus straight toward Charlotte!
Charlotte slashed his longsword!
The lightning was deflected by the Seven Star Sword!
"Thunder Strike!"
Linlin lunged forward,
Her punch, coated with Zeus's storm, crashed down on Charlotte!
CLANG!
Charlotte blocked with a horizontal guard!
The immense force bent his knees slightly—
Lightning raged all around him,
But with his body completely covered in black-green Armament Haki,
The electricity had no effect!
"Heavenly Fire!"
Linlin grabbed Prometheus with her left hand and smashed down!
BOOM!
Charlotte was blasted back over a hundred meters!
Flames scorched around him—
But the black-green Haki armor absorbed most of the damage!
"You've got a lot of tricks, huh?"
Charlotte muttered as he looked at Linlin, who was alternating between lightning and fire.
"Heavenly Fireball!"
Not giving him time to think,
A massive fireball came flying toward him!
Charlotte slashed—
The fireball split in two, narrowly missing him!
They exploded behind him, erupting into a blazing inferno!
"Cognac Slash!"
Linlin roared again!
A purple shockwave soared toward Charlotte!
He pushed off the ground lightly with his toes—
The attack landed at his feet,
And the explosion sent him flying several meters!
"You've got move after move…
Then how about you try this one!"
"Demon Sword – Overlord Heaven!"
Conqueror's Haki erupted!
Red-green lightning surged along the Seven Star Sword!
Charlotte slashed violently!
The ferocious Haki burst forth like a tidal wave toward Linlin!
Linlin's pupils shrank as the shockwave enveloped half the sky!
Napoleon rose—
Prometheus and Zeus fused into it!
"Blazing Light Cannon!"
Linlin fired a concentrated energy beam!
It pierced Charlotte's Haki wave and struck his slash!
BOOM!!
A massive energy blast erupted where the two forces met!
The overwhelming force blasted both of them back!
The ground cracked,
And the energy explosion sent the surrounding sea surging upward—
Forming a massive water curtain!
"Insane power…"
Caesar, watching the battle from afar, said in awe.
He had assumed the challenger was just some ambitious upstart,
But seeing it firsthand—
He realized this man was on the same level as his father!
All eyes were on the island, expressions solemn.
Barrett's eyes sparkled,
Then he sighed—
He was still a step away from that level...
The Big Mom Pirates watched with serious expressions.
"Charlotte Rockefeller can actually go toe-to-toe with Mama!"
To many of the younger children,
Mama was invincible.
But now, someone was matching her in combat!
"Don't underestimate the Rockefeller Pirates!
They were famous even before Mama!"
Katakuri said, watching the battle unfold.
"Not good! Get ready for battle!
The Rockefeller Pirates have launched an attack!"
Perospero, who had been keeping a close eye on the enemy's fleet,
Shouted as soon as the ships moved toward them!
"BIG MOM PIRATES, BATTLE STATIONS!"
Katakuri roared at the top of his lungs!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Cannons roared!
The Rockefeller Pirate fleet launched a full bombardment!
Over forty ships and a thousand cannons opened fire!
The sky above the Big Mom fleet was blanketed by cannonfire!
"Mochi Shield!"
Katakuri waved his hand!
Armament Haki-covered mochi enveloped the Queen Mama Chanter!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Explosions rang out as the cannonballs hit the shield!
But they couldn't break through Katakuri's defenses!
As the barrage ended,
Katakuri withdrew his mochi—
But the Rockefeller fleet was already within striking distance!
"CHARGE!!"
Esdeath unsheathed her sword and roared!
With a flash, she leapt onto the sea!
"Ice Seal!"
Frost spread rapidly across the water—
The turbulent ocean was instantly frozen,
Stretching over a thousand meters!
"She's trying to immobilize us!"
Perospero shouted, seeing their ships trapped in ice!
"Watch out!"
Katakuri suddenly warned!
A sword slash flew toward their flagship!
"We're dead meat!"
The terrified Homies on deck screamed!
"Shut up!"
Katakuri leapt into action!
"Mochi Slam!"
His left arm turned into mochi, wrapped in Armament Haki,
And smashed into the slash from Esdeath!
CLANG!
The sword energy clashed with mochi—
Held for three seconds—
Then dissipated!
"Charlotte Katakuri—The greatest creation of the Charlotte Family!"
Esdeath stood poised with her western longsword.
"Ice Queen—Rockefeller Esdeath—Eldest daughter of the Rockefeller Family!"
Katakuri countered, his trident in hand!
VMMM!
Their Conqueror's Haki exploded!
Ice-blue lightning clashed with red-black lightning—
Neither side giving an inch!
"DIE!!"
Esdeath slashed!
A frost-laced blade wave slid across the icy ground toward Katakuri!
"Mochi Spike!"
Katakuri's arm became mochi,
Trident wrapped in it,
And pierced through the frost wave,
Heading straight for Esdeath!
The extending arm shot toward her—
Esdeath raised her sword—
BOOM!
The impact sent her flying back over ten meters!
"BIG SIS!!"
Everyone aboard the Sea God Poseidon screamed in panic!
Barrett slammed down with fury—
His Armament-covered fist launched at Katakuri!
Katakuri's pupils contracted—
He pushed his Observation Haki to the limit!
Mochi shot upward in defense—
But Barrett's fist smashed through it
And struck Katakuri directly!
BOOM!
Katakuri was sent flying over a hundred meters,
Crashing into the Queen Mama Chanter!
