the other side,

The special battlefield that Jinbe mentioned.

The underground prison that held thousands of pirates is now a complete ruin.

Amidst the rubble, Luffy, now in Gear Fourth, was panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.

On the other hand, Katakuri, who looked aloof, didn't even have a speck of dust on his clothes.

Strangely, the large group of pursuers from Big Mom's crew seemed oblivious to Luffy, focusing only on the escapees fleeing from prison ahead.

A massive crowd of pirates passed through, and Luffy and Katakuri ended up in a one-on-one duel.

"Surrender, Straw Hat Boy, I've seen through all your attacks."

Katakuri bluntly stated the painful truth: "Whether it's strength or speed, I'm clearly superior."

It acknowledges Luffy's potential and his courage in the face of powerful enemies.

Katakuri considers Luffy a worthy rival, so he forbids his other crew members from interfering.

That's why Luffy sent Jinbe to help the other crew members.

With absolutely no intention of surrendering, Luffy, who was hopping around in place, was struggling with how to defeat the formidable enemy before him!

This guy's Observation Haki is amazing!

The only way to break through that guy's Observation Haki defense is to use an even faster attack speed!

With this in mind, Luffy's thick rubber arms began to contract and gather power!

"Rubber Black Mamba!!!"

A rubber fist twisted like a venomous snake!

A supersonic attack, a barrage of punches raining down on the formidable enemy!

Seeing that Luffy intended to win by speed, a crimson glint flashed in Katakuri's eyes!

"boom!"

Chapter 265 A Man's One-on-One Showdown!

"boom!!!"

Like a torrential downpour of iron fists, they kept raining down!

The air rippled outwards, and the gravel ground collapsed inch by inch!

Katakuri's slender body moved nimbly through the shadows of fists, constantly closing in on Luffy!

Ten meters, five meters, three meters!

"Qiang!"

Katakuri's swollen arms grew spikes like a mace, and black Armament Haki wrapped around them!

"Freshly Cut Rice Cake!"

"boom!!!"

The forearm, transformed into a spiked iron club, slammed hard into Luffy's face!

"--ah!!!"

With a bloody scream, Luffy was blasted into the air by a club!

"Damn it, that guy's Observation Haki really can foresee the future!"

Luffy's face, contorted with pain, suddenly froze.

Suddenly, he recalled Rayleigh's teachings on advanced Haki and how to deal with it.

Thanks to Blackbeard's surprise attack and the establishment of the future Empire.

The increasingly chaotic situation at sea also led Rayleigh to provide Luffy with more comprehensive guidance than in the original story.

The speed must exceed what that guy can foresee in the future, and the attack cannot be too simple.

The Luffy in real life and the Luffy in battle have a "qualitative" change in intelligence!

Luffy quickly came up with a solution, and his hands began to transform and extend!

"Rubber King Cobra!!!"

"boom!"

The air crackled with explosions, and Luffy's outstretched fist twisted and crawled like a snake!

Instead of directly attacking the target, Katakuri's rubber fists, enhanced with Armament Haki, circled around him, bouncing and turning wildly!

"Um!!!"

A strong wind blew in, causing Katakuri's scarf, which covered his mouth and nose, to flutter!

Katakuri's expression darkened as he stared at the sky filled with countless fist shadows, his eyes flashing red!

Every change in direction of the rubber fist is a completely different vision of the future.

As Luffy's fist bounced repeatedly, the images flashing through Katakuri's mind became increasingly chaotic.

There's a future where he can't dodge and the attack will miss; there's a future where he'll be attacked in the abdomen in the next second; and...

"boom!!!"

Katakuri raised his arms, enhanced with Armament Haki, and firmly blocked Luffy's fist in front of his face!

"--call!"

The sudden gust of wind then blew away the scarf that Katakuri was using to shield himself!

The stitched scars on both sides of her cheeks, and the sharp teeth that show even when her mouth is closed.

not good! ! !

With his younger siblings still nearby, Katakuri felt a moment of panic when he realized that his true form had been exposed!

But Luffy didn't care about any of that!

"good chance!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the powerful enemy was distracted, he delivered a powerful punch to the abdomen!

"boom!!!"

“Finally hit it!”

Looking at the powerful enemy who had been blasted away, Luffy, covered in wounds, grinned.

He felt his strength grow once again.

......

Feeling the fierce wind on both sides of his ears, Katakuri, who was about to fall, forcibly twisted his body and landed on the ground with his feet slightly bent!

To maintain his image in his younger siblings' eyes, Katakuri has always played the role of a perfect man who will never be looked down upon by anyone.

For him, strength means never having his back touch the ground.

"Katakuri, bro, brother?!!"

The Big Mom Pirates crew members who were chasing the escaped prisoners nearby all came to a halt.

"Who...who are you?!"

In their hearts, Katakuri is the perfect older brother who is aloof, cold, powerful, and without any weaknesses!

Looking at Katakuri's big-mouthed eel-like face, everyone's imagined image of the older brother was completely shattered!

"Pfft!"

Charlotte Flampe is also the president of Katakuri's fan club and the captain of the special operations team.

Franpe looked at the ugly monster in front of her and felt a wave of despair wash over her!

She idolizes her perfect older brother and aims to become the "Queen of Sisters" whom Katakuri loves.

Franpe scoffed, collapsing to the point of denying reality: "No, no! This ugly monster must be an imposter!"

"Men, quickly take a picture! I want everyone to know this guy is a fraud!"

He was being pointed at by his own sister, while a large group of his subordinates were taking pictures.

Katakuri, who seemed indifferent, couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation inside.

The perfect image he always maintained was not out of vanity, but to protect his younger siblings from harm.

result......

In the instant Katakuri was distracted, the massive iron fist in Gear Third mode crashed straight down from the sky!

Oops!

To protect his sister from harm, Katakuri leaped up first and took the giant punch head-on!

"boom!!!"

The figure was smashed into the deep pit by tremendous force, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Luffy, having regained his stamina and mastered Gear Second, landed steadily on the ground!

Luffy didn't mean to take advantage; he just didn't understand Katakuri's complicated mindset.

but.......

Glancing sideways at the surrounding pirates, Luffy snapped, "Get out of my way!"

A burst of dark red lightning erupted, and a kingly aura suddenly burst forth from the crowd!

"Bang, bang bang!"

Whether it was the Den Den Mushi that took the photo or the pirates who had mocked Katakuri earlier, they all foamed at the mouth and passed out.

These guys are actually mocking the people protecting them. What a bunch of low-class pirates!

Luffy looked at the deep pit at his feet and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to not dodge in order to protect them."
