Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six Raigo – Thunder Greeting black spheres, one large and five small, shot out and raced through the air, spiraling around the largest one, quickly closing in on the ejected Katakuri.
"Not good!"
Katakuri's face turned pale, and water-like patterns spread across his arm in an instant, triggering his Devil Fruit Awakening.
'Mosu Donuts (Unparalleled Donut)!!'
Two mochi balls, big enough to encase him, barely managed to hold their ground against the approaching Raigo – Thunder Greeting black spheres. Then…
Bang Rumble!
The destructive power of Raigo – Thunder Greeting was unquestionable. Rowen's current strongest move, the Nine Dragons Plummeting Sun, was the giant-scale Raigo – Thunder Greeting at its limit.
Back on Angel Island, if Golden Lion Shiki hadn't coincidentally crashed into Kizaru, there might not have been anything left but charred remains.
The exploding Thunderlight instantly shattered the defensive layer made of sweet donuts. The extreme destructive power was beyond what even these Awakening-level mochis could withstand.
High-voltage currents, accompanied by a terrifying aura of destruction, struck Katakuri. He screamed in agony once again, spitting out a large puddle of unidentifiable black liquid, which flew outwards.
Gungnir!!
At this moment, Rowen raised the Thunder Dragon crescent-sided halberd. A massive thunder spear rapidly condensed above his head. Then, expressionless and exuding a chilling killing intent, he swung it downward.
Chi…!
The dazzling thunder tore through the Void, freezing time in its wake. Under Katakuri's horrified gaze, the thunder spear instantly pierced through his abdomen and then disappeared into the unfathomable depths of the sea.
"Ughh!!"
Only after the Thunderlight left a green afterimage on his retina did Katakuri blink, finally feeling the excruciating pain that penetrated his very bones.
The meteor guns piercing through his body wasn't just physical damage. The surging electric currents invading his body through the wounds were the most lethal threat!
Boom!!!
At this moment, the sea surged into towering waves, crashing heavily onto Katakuri's back. Propelled by the terrifying impact from the exploding meteor guns, the previously gentle seawater turned as hard as steel, pounding him like iron plates, instantly shattering his bones and tendons!
"Blargh!!"
Katakuri's eyes rolled back, blood spurting from his mouth uncontrollably. He teetered on the edge of unconsciousness.
Right now, he only had one thought.
Too fast!
If he had been given a bit of preparation time, even if he still couldn't withstand the attack, he wouldn't have been injured this severely. The speed and destructive power of the Thunder were simply unmatched by ordinary Ability users!
And Rowen had already pushed them to the extreme!
"A special Paramecia ability is truly extraordinary. To think that you can hide a Den Den Mushi in your belly… If it were a different opponent, you might have actually managed to relay the message back."
The Mochi-Mochi Fruit was indeed a special Paramecia. It could mold and disperse the body at will, just like a Logia. It could form a cavity inside the body, easily accommodating the two-meter-long trident "Mole," and even leaving room to spare for a Den Den Mushi.
Watching Katakuri plummeting downwards, a hint of a smile played at the corner of Rowen's lips.
"It's a pity you encountered me!"
The Den Den Mushi also transmitted signals through radio waves. Normally, with the interference of the planet's magnetic field, Rowen wouldn't have been able to discern which radio waves in the surrounding air were the signals being transmitted by the Den Den Mushi.
However, in such close proximity, the Den Den Mushi's abrupt radio waves were glaringly obvious to Rowen.
At this moment, if there were a third person present, they would certainly find it hard to believe that the Minister of Flour of the Charlotte Family, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Katakuri, had been struck by Rowen's relentless combo with no chance of fighting back!
But Rowen found this perfectly normal.
The destructive power and speed advantage of the Goro Goro no Mi (Thunder-Thunder Fruit) was simply perverse! Combined with his current strength, he could perfectly utilize the properties of the fruit.
Now he was like a ruthless endgame boss in an online game, with the game specifying a defense requirement of 10,000 points. Even if you had 9,999 points, you still wouldn't make it through.
As the saying goes, as long as it doesn't meet those three perverse requirements, the relative strength and weakness in the eyes of ordinary people are meaningless before Rowen.
This is the current Rowen, the true pinnacle of power in the sea, a formidable Soryu (Azure Dragon)!
Pū Tōng!
Katakuri crashed into the seawater, sending up waves of white spray several meters high. Less than three minutes had passed since the battle began, and Katakuri, one of the Four Sweet Commanders specializing in desserts, was declared defeated!
…
On Cake Island, in the previous room.
Thud!
"How is this possible?!!"
Charlotte Perospero angrily slammed his fist on the table. He stared at Katakuri's Vivre Card in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.
"Katakuri was actually defeated?!"
Upon receiving the notification, Perospero rushed to the room. However, in the short minutes it took him to get there, Katakuri's Vivre Card suddenly started to burn. The crimson sparks, symbolizing death, continuously consumed the brownish paper. It was now reduced to a small piece.
And…
"Big Brother, we can't keep this from Mama any longer."
Beside him, the Minister of Cheese Mont-d'Or spoke heavily.
He wore black and white striped clothing with a bone pattern, and his nose, resembling a witch's, towered prominently on his ashen face. His hairstyle looked like a stack of french fries.
"Oven, our older brother, is dead. Katakuri, our second brother, has been defeated. The enemy is now beyond our capabilities. Mama must step in!"
As one of the few highly intelligent individuals in the Charlotte Family with a strategic mind, Mont-d'Or initially agreed to Katakuri's plan.
This plan not only ensured the safety of Oven while avoiding provoking Big Mom, but it also boosted Mont-d'Or's confidence, thanks to Katakuri's consistently flawless performance.
But just a few minutes ago, this confidence was shattered by a burning Vivre Card!
Their masterpiece of the Charlotte Family was no match for the enemy!
"You want to tell Mama about this?"
Perospero's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He recalled the furious state of BIG·MOM, shrouded in dark clouds, with her terrifying grin. Perospero struggled to swallow his saliva. "People might die, you know?!"
"But not telling Mama will lead to even more deaths!"
Mont-d'Or spoke decisively. "The enemy deliberately used Oven, our Big Brother, to lure us in. Katakuri, our Big Brother, being defeated only proves that the enemy possesses combat power beyond our reach, except for Mama."
"Or rather, they, without any reservation, are planning to take us down one by one. If we don't tell Mama, it's highly likely they'll directly attack Totto Land next!"
"By then, even if we concentrate our forces to defeat the enemy, Mama will still be furious!"
Gūlp…
Just thinking about that scenario, Perospero felt his throat itch.
"And…"
Mont-d'Or sighed. "And… their deliberate decision not to kill our Big Brother Oven was clearly to bait us into rescuing him. Now that Katakuri Big Brother has been defeated by them, do you think they'll foolishly continue waiting?"
Katakuri's name was well-known in the New World, especially in Totto Land, ruled by BIG·MOM's pirate crew.
As their household's ultimate creation, he represented the highest combat power in BIG·MOM's pirate crew after Mama herself!
As long as the enemy wasn't someone completely ignorant, they all understood that they wouldn't send anyone to rescue Oven anymore.
Going would be a pointless suicide mission!
So Katakuri definitely wasn't safe, enduring for four days before meeting his demise.
With no bait value left, he was at most half a hostage. If they didn't act quickly, they were likely to lose two brothers in succession!
By then, Big Mom's thunderous rage would sweep across the entire New World!
"I…"
Thinking about the consequences, Perospero found it difficult to speak.
In the end, he nodded solemnly and said to Mont-d'Or, "I understand. I'll go find Mama now."
"Hurry!"
Mont-d'Or's tone was grave, his fist clenched.
