Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 112 - Totto Land Vl

Chapter 112 - Totto Land Vl

Katakuri's face changed dramatically until holding his eyes can even spew out flames of anger.

All the men in the Navy shouted to the sky, while their morale was through the roof, they began to fight one more fiercely.

At that precise moment Katakuri turned to face the north.

Ryu and kizaru were in a sorry state after facing BIG-MOM, they wanted to end the war as fast as they could.

They could see victory, they just had to claim it.

Ryu: Capture everyone present... if they resist, kill them.

Kizaru launched himself to face them, the entire Charlotte family was at a critical point, they were resisting as much as they could, but they all knew that, without his mother, it was impossible for them to face so many vice admirals and 2 admirals.

Katakuri: Amadare mochi

Katakuri, with his power, turns the ground and surrounding walls into mochi, giving them the shape of giant drops to make them crash against all the marines.

But before it could reach its target, hundreds of light particles passed through the mochi.

Kizaru: Charlotte Katakuri...

Katakuri went into defensive mode, while activating his fruit.

Katakuri: Muso donuts.

He summons two circles of mochi from the ground and lifts them up into a donut shape.

Katakuri: Chikara mochi.

Katakuri transforms the mochi donuts into giant square arms similar to those in the kaku mochi technique and hardens them with busoshoku haki. With a layer of mochi covering his hands, Katakuri manipulates these arms to strike his opponent with impressive force.

The fists attacked Kizaru, who disappeared from the scene, to appear behind Katakuri, and launch a kick at the speed of light.

Leaving Katakuri on the ground.

Charlotte Smoothie: Katakuri....

As he lunged at Kizaru, only to receive a beam of light that pierced his chest.

Charlotte Smoothie: Brother...

They were the last words of one of the three sweet commanders.

Katakuri tried to get to his feet as fast as he could, to watch how everything turned into chaos.

Just to receive dozens of light particles.

Perospero: Wave of Caramel

Creating a giant tide of candy that attacked the admirals.

Ryu launched himself against the giant tide of candy.

Ryu: Sixth Stance: Burning Sun

Creating a vortex of fire that crossed the giant tide, until arriving in front of Perospero.

Katakuri: Mochi tsuki.

Wielding his trident, Mogura, Katakuri twists his mochi arm into compression, then strikes Ryu, releasing the compression creating the effect of a driller that is capable of breaking through walls and the ground.

Ryu parried the attack with his sword covered in Haki.

To launch a long-distance slash in Katakuri's direction.

Katakuri was able to defend himself in time, but before he could respond.

Ryu appeared behind him.

Ryu: Eleventh Stance: Dragon Solar Halo.

It spirals into the air to launch a powerful slash across Katakuri's entire blade.

Ryu: You didn't see it coming, did you, you damn pirate.

For his part, Kizaru had already immobilized Perospero, leaving him in a bad state.

Kizaru: This is all they have to offer... Big Mom was the only fearsome thing in this whole place.

Katakuri was in a pitiful state, he knew that if a miracle didn't happen, the navy would win this war...

Katakuri: Everyone retreat...we can't deal with them... Perospero, help me create a diversion so the others can escape.

But before he could say anything else, he was hit by a powerful beam of light, which pierced him leaving a large hole in his stomach.

Katakuri saw how every second that passed someone from his family was killed, men, women even the children who escaped were arrested, despair seized his being for the first time in his life.

He didn't know what to do, not even he could face 2 admirals at the same time.

Kizaru rushed to shoot a powerful beam of light in Katakuri's direction, but was stopped by a powerful dragon as black as night.

An army of over 500 men came to war, led by King Crow himself, followed by Laxus Dreyar, Dabi Todoroki.

Kizaru: Ara ara... It seems we have some unforeseen events...

Katahara: ATTACK!

At that moment Kizaru charged at them, but was stopped by a black bolt.

Ryu also got ready to fight, but had to dodge a gigantic pillar of fire that appeared out of nowhere.

While Katahara approached Katakuri.

Katahara: It seems that this war has gotten out of control…don't you think Charlotte Katakuri.

Katakuri: Now that... you came yourself to put the last nail in the coffin of the Charlotte family.

Receiving a smile from Katahara.

Katahara: Right now a support fleet is headed here headed by an admiral, they will arrive in maximum 2 hours... do you think the Charlotte family will survive now that your mother passed away...

What surprised Katakuri, if another admiral arrived, the whole serious place would be taken by the Navy.

Katahara: Do you think you can keep watching your brothers and sisters get slaughtered like dogs...

Katakuri: We don't need your help if that's what you think.

Katahara: That's what you think, right now my men are transporting the poneglyphs to our ships, I just came here because I was too bored.

Katakuri: Poneglyph, that's what they were doing here...

At that moment Ryu appeared in front of Katahara with a sword slash.

Which responded quickly enough, launching an even more powerful slash.

Katahara: It seems that the battle was too hard... finishing you and Kizaru, in his state... it took me a while, but in the end I could kill them...

Ryu knew that their state was dire, even Kizaru was in a bad state, if Katahara faced them with all his might, they would have to retreat, without losing a large part of their troops first.

Katahara: Katakuri...if this continues, the entire Charlotte family will perish...I offer you this...Join me and I will save your family...or at least what's left of them.

Leaving not only Katakuri speechless but also Ryu himself.

Katakuri turned to see the battlefield, and saw all the bodies of his brothers and sisters... he knew that the whole island was in the same state, and if another fleet arrived with an admiral, everything would end for the Charlotte family.

Katahara: Do you think you can bear to see your sisters, being tortured in Impel Down, for the rest of your life... the way I see it, the entire Charlotte family is in this place... and only 40% are still alive ...

Katakuri knew that if he wanted everyone to survive he would have to make a deal with the devil.

Katakuri: If I accept, you will save my brothers....

Katahara: I have enough ships to carry the entire Charlotte family... this place is lost, all the people of this kingdom... Totto Land is already lost...

Katakuri, turned to see his brothers who were still dying minute by minute... with all the guards of the kingdom

Katakuri: The Charlotte family will join you... if you manage to save them.

Receiving a smile in response.

Katahara pointed his sword at the battlefield, and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki along with his killing thirst, paralyzing the battlefield.

Katahara: Then why not, get serious Ryu...

Kizaru and Ryu turned to face each other for a few seconds.

While his Shodai Kitetsu was covered in armor Haki, and shadows.

Kizaru appeared to her left preparing to launch a powerful kick of light.

But he was stopped by Katahara's hand, which was totally black, before throwing Kizaru into the air.

Kizaru: Did you nullify my Akuma Nomi?

Katahara's hand was black, as darkness flamed.

Surprising everyone present.

While Katahara launched a powerful long range slash at Ryu, who was able to block the attack in time.

Kizaru wasted no time and launched a powerful light particle attack.

Katahara: Wall of the End.

Created from the ground a huge wall of shadows.

The light particles disintegrated upon contact with the great wall.

But before everyone could react, Katahara appeared on Kizaru's back.

Kazaru: Ara Ara... what monstrous speed.

While Katahara gave him a powerful fist with his hand still imbued with shadows.

While holding him to the ground with his shadow.

Kizaru tried to use his devil fruit ability, but found it unresponsive, so he decided to deliver a powerful kick covered in armor Haki to push Katahara away.

Ryu: The Yami Yami... This became dangerous...

Meanwhile, Katahara raised his right hand.

Katahara: Black Hole.

Spreading its darkness over a large area and just like a real black hole, it swallows everything in the place.

Kizaru: You're pretty scary... Uchiha Katahara.

As he got up off the ground.

To then throw all the rubble against the two admirals, who destroyed all the rubble that was thrown at them.

As little by little Katahara was getting closer to them, as he released his Conqueror Haki, unleashing lightning bolts everywhere, causing everything around him to crack along with a great pressure to everyone present, surprising Ryu and Kizaru.

Ryu had no idea how monstrous Conqueror's Haki would become in such a short time.

Kizaru: This escalated to a whole other level....

While turning to see Ryu.

Katahara: So... how do you want to fix this?

Ryu: Totto Land, now it is the jurisdiction of the navy....

While Ryu unleashed his own Conqueror Haki, which wasn't as strong as Katahara's.

Katahara knew that there was not much value in occupying the islands of the Charlotte family.

Katahara: Totto Land has no value to me... would you be so kind as to free Charlotte Brulee... I don't want my new subordinates to have Impel Down as their new home.

Ryu: He doesn't get too tired... Katahara.....

At that moment Ryu raised his hand giving the signal for Brulee to be released.

Katahara noted that she was the only one worth freeing, as well as being one of the closest to Katakuri.

Katahara: Let's go Katakuri.

At that moment, Perospero approached them.

Perospero: What did you do brother....

Perospero, he knew they had no other alternative so he continued while he turned to see the body of his deceased mother.

In another part of the island, Laffitte was loading the Poneglyphs onto the ships, he had looted more than 15 Poneglyphs, belonging to the Charlotte family.

Laffitte: With this is the last...

While looking at the giant books that came out from the castle.

Laffitte: Interesting books... don't you think so Drust.

Drust: They're prisons... Big Mom's personal collection... what happened to the others, there are only 3 books.

While Laffitte took to open one of the books.

Laffitte: The whole place was destroyed with corpses of marines and pirates, and the whole place was on fire... a real war broke out in this place.

Drust: The navy attacked by surprise, with everything they had, but this level of brutality...

Laffitte: What a pity, these books only contain a collection of some animals...

While in the books you could see all kinds of horses, rhinos and even elephants.

At that moment Reiju approached them.

Reiju: It would be a good gift for the Adeptus Mechanicus.

While dozens of marines began to approach to face them.

Drust: It seems that he finally became aware of our presence.

But before any marines could approach the harbor, they were rounded up, crushed, and killed on the spot.

Borry: We were commissioned to protect Miss Reiju..

Dorry: Don't let any of these weaklings get an inch closer.

Receiving war cries from all the giants in the place.

Starting to kill everyone who came close.

In another part of the island, the main battle had concluded, the whole place was completely silent.

Ryu: 1 hour... that's all the Armistice I'll give you...

Katahara: Charlotte Linlin's body will come with us....

Ryu understood that the Charlotte family would not leave his mother's body.

Ryu: Well... that's all...

Katahara: It's always a pleasure, talking to you admirals...

Katahara then raised her hand in the direction of Charlotte Linlin, who began to levitate.

Kathara: Let's go.

Ryu noticed the change in the shape of Katahara's eyes:

Ryu: Mangekyo Sharingan...

Receiving a smile from Katahara..

Ryu: Retrieve all the bodies of our people.... I'll contact the Chief Admiral.

The entire island was destroyed, the great palace was in ruins, bodies of all shapes and sizes could be seen, along with bodies of navy officers.

Katahara: Everyone be ready, we set sail immediately... look all over the island... you should find some akuma.

Augur: As ordered... I will search the entire island....

At that time Augur disappeared from the place.

Katahara turned to see everyone who came with him.

I observe only 20 members of the Charlotte family, along with dozens of civilians from the kingdom.

It didn't take long until they reached the port that was guarded by dozens of giants.

Katahara: To your ships, we set sail immediately.

Dorry: As commanded Captain.

At that moment all the giants managed to get on their ships.

The entire Charlotte family had a look of surprise on their faces seeing giants for the first time in their lives, their mother's dream was to find giants and now right in front of her eyes were more than 40 giants.

Katahara: come on...

As they all climbed onto the ships, as they watched what was once their home, their kingdom, now nothing but rubble and corpses, some even cried remembering their fallen brothers.
