As a user of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, Katakuri can turn his entire body into mochi, a form of "elementalization" similar to Logia abilities.
While it's not as powerful as Logia's full elemental transformation, it offers unique advantages, such as expelling toxins from his body, like he was doing now.
There are many special Paramecia powers like this, such as Garrett's Butter Fruit.
When Katakuri returned to the center of the tea party, he was shocked by the scene before him.
Almost all of his brothers and sisters had been poisoned and were lying on the ground. Out of the hundreds of family leaders present, fewer than ten were still standing.
Although Katakuri was poisoned, his strong physique allowed him to endure.
Garrett expelled the toxins from her body by secreting toxin-laden butter.
Smoothie, Cracker, Owen, and Perospero were still standing but had all been seriously poisoned.
Daifuku and Jinbei were lucky, as they were the only two people who hadn't eaten any of the food.
Big Mom and Lynch appeared unaffected, standing as if nothing was wrong. Katakuri felt a wave of relief seeing that his mother and Lynch were fine.
As long as they were in charge, he knew there would be no further trouble.
"Mom, are you okay? Someone poisoned the tea party," Katakuri said, clearly worried.
"We need to arrange treatment for the people on the island immediately."
"Maamaa~ Maamaaa~!"
Big Mom laughed angrily, and the air around her turned cold. "I saw it, Katakuri. Whoever caused trouble at this tea party—when I find them, they won't even have a grave to bury them in!"
"Ahem... Brother, quickly, call Kaido for help. I feel like this is just the beginning," Cracker said weakly, spitting out a large mouthful of black blood.
"Me too, brother. I think the real danger is yet to come," Snack muttered, using his fruit ability to create high heat in an attempt to destroy the toxins in his body.
"Even though the murderer hasn't appeared yet, they won't miss this chance."
The only thing everyone was relieved about was that Big Mom had already eaten enough.
If she hadn't, the tea party would have been ruined, and if Big Mom's split personality attacked, the consequences could have been more disastrous!
Katakuri nodded silently, clearly thinking the same thing.
He wanted to save his fallen brothers and sisters, but almost everyone on the island had been affected.
He could only hope that those who had eaten the cake would hold on until Smoothie could come to their rescue.
No one could understand the pain Katakuri was feeling in that moment.
"Ahem... it's finally coming out,"
Smoothie said as she squeezed the fruit to expel the toxins from her body. Her symptoms quickly improved.
Once recovered, Smoothie immediately went to work, rescuing Brule from the poison and instructing her to pull the poisoned brothers and sisters into the mirror space for safety.
After that, Smoothie continuously used her fruit's power to squeeze the toxins out of Cracker, Owen, Snack, and Perospero.
"Lynch, what are you doing? You're crazy!" Katakuri suddenly noticed Lynch from the corner of his eye and shouted in surprise. Could it be that Lynch was the one responsible for the poisoning?!
Lynch was gripping Baron Tamago's neck like a chicken and punching him hard in the face, nearly beating him to death.
"Ahhhhh! Mr. Lynch, why are you hitting me?!" Baron Tamago screamed, dazed from the blows, feeling like his brain was about to explode.
"Idiot, open your mouth," Lynch commanded.
On the verge of death, Baron Tamago subconsciously obeyed, opening his mouth as scarlet blood poured in.
Baron Tamago quickly recovered from his injuries and broke free from his shell like a chicken, transforming into his Viscount Hiyoko form.
To an outside observer, it would look like a Zoan user who had eaten the Chick Fruit.
This is Baron Tamago's ability. He has eaten a special Paramecia fruit, the Egg Egg Fruit, which allows him to hatch from his shell and become stronger each time he is severely injured.
Theoretically, as long as he can endure the damage, Baron Tamago could become infinitely powerful.
Coincidentally, Lynch's blood ensures Baron Tamago immortality.
In just two minutes, Lynch nearly killed him seventy-two times.
Baron Tamago evolved from his base form into the Viscount Hiyoko form, and then further into the Count Niwatori form, and then transformed into his base form again in cycle. His strength now rivaled Katakuri's.
This process could only be triggered by Lynch. Normally, Baron Tamago would have been beaten to death after five or six rounds, but Lynch's blood kept him regenerating.
"Trash, your potential only ends here."
Baron Tamago's strength no longer increased after beating him, so Lynch threw him down in disgust.
At this point, Baron Tamago still didn't realize Lynch's true intent. In awe, he quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Lynch! Thank you, Mr. Lynch!"
From the two-minute beating, Baron Tamago deeply understood how powerful Lynch was, and developed a deep respect for him.
"Hmph, why don't you go help Katakuri and the others?" Lynch said, his tone cool.
Even though he was visiting relatives with Garrett, he knew he had to help Big Mom, especially for Jerry Mouse.
He suspected that the enemy might be targeting both Big Mom and him.
If they weren't after him, there would be no reason to attack Cake Island at this moment.
"Thank you, Lynch," Katakuri said sincerely. When Lynch was on their side, he truly felt safe.
Just when Smoothie wanted to continue rescuing people, an uninvited guest broke in and attracted everyone's attention.
"Stussy, that traitor is you!"
Big Mom's eyes narrowed with fury as she stared at the approaching Stussy, blue veins throbbing on her forehead.
"Keke~ Linlin, don't look at me like that. We're good friends," Stussy said with a playful smile and sighed:
"You are really powerful. The poison that could kill a thousand beasts, yet you ate most of it and you're still fine."
Stussy looked at Lynch again, "You're the same, handsome guy. You've eaten a lot of food, but you're fine."
"How confident are you to think that poison can kill a mythical beasts?" Lynch sneered.
"Don't call me Linlin, I'm going to kill you!" Big Mom roared, her rage intensifying.
"Napoleon!" she shouted, and the Napoleon sword appeared in her hand.
"Keke~ Linlin, haven't you figured it out yet? Since I dared to appear in front of you, it means you have no chance of winning."
After Stussy finished speaking, a large number of CP members poured out from all over the mountains and plains.
Saint 'Jay Garcia' Saturn, Admiral Kizaru, Garp, Akainu, Momonga, Tokikake, Doberman, Onigumo, Dalmantia, and Strawberry all surrounded Cake Island!
