Katakuri wasn't idle either. He unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, but it wasn't offensive. It merely stimulated the pirates on the island who were terrified by Whitebeard's arrival, bringing them back to their senses.

As everyone instinctively looked at Katakuri, he shouted, "What are you all doing? Get ready to fire! Don't let the Whitebeard Pirates land! Mom will be here soon!"

"Yes!"

Many pirates were impressed by Katakuri's undeniable charisma and instinctively followed his orders.

……

"Gurgling and lagging~~ Little ones, bring the boat closer!"

Whitebeard pointed his Murakumogiri at Whole Cake Island and loudly issued commands.

"Yes! Dad!"

The pirates under his command revealed arrogant smiles and glared fiercely at the island.

Boom! Boom boom!

The moment the two sides closed to a certain distance, both sides opened fire with their artillery, and the violent explosions set off flames on the shore and created waves on the sea.

Ships were sunk from time to time, and many pirates fell into the water. Cannonballs also frequently landed on the shore, exploding into a bloody mess.

This is the most brutal part of a conventional amphibious landing operation: the landing itself.

But neither side involved in the war are ordinary people.

A blue figure took off from the Moby Dick and soared into the sky, dancing in the air. Blue flames drifted down from the sky, as gentle and beautiful as scattered cherry blossoms.

But it is exceptionally deadly.

Flames exploded, engulfing large numbers of pirates in pain and pleasure.

"It's the Phoenix, Marco!!!"

The identity of the person who made the move was recognized in an instant, causing a wave of panic.

"Humph!"

Katakuri frowned, his expression turning serious. With a wave of his arm, a large number of mochi balls covered in black Armament Haki spread from the ground, transforming into hands that reached out to grab Marco.

He is the owner of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, which gives him the ability to transform himself and his surroundings into mochi balls and manipulate them.

These glutinous rice balls are extremely sticky and imbued with Armament Haki, making them in no way inferior in terms of strength.

With this one move alone, he could wipe out 99% of the pirates on the high seas.

However, Marco is clearly not one of the 99% who are.

"Ha ha!"

Marco chuckled, twisted his body, and the blue phoenix fire surged, turning into a ball of flame that melted the glutinous rice ball that was extending towards him.

At the same time, he released a scorching breath, causing the blue flames to transform into threads that attacked Katakuri below.

Katakuri clenched his fist, and a large number of mochi balls quickly overlapped and intertwined to form a defense against Marco's flames.

A large amount of rice balls melted, but Katakuri's Armament Haki was strong enough to withstand it easily.

However, Katakuri showed no signs of being relaxed.

After all, the Whitebeard Pirates weren't just Marco alone.

At this time, many of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains had already landed.

The battlefield exploded in an instant.

Katakuri's many brothers have already clashed with those captains.

Whitebeard's third division commander Jozu clashed with Bean Minister Charlotte Daifuku.

Fifth Captain "Float" Vista battles Biscuit Minister Charlotte Cracker.

Looking around, Katakuri's expression turned serious, because he keenly realized that the Big Mom Pirates were currently at a significant disadvantage in the battle.

Although the Charlotte family is full of talented individuals, and the Big Mom Pirates also have other powerful executives, theoretically they shouldn't lose to the Whitebeard Pirates by 4.6.

However, he discovered some people he had never seen before and people who shouldn't be there.

"That's... Shiryu?"

The warden of Impel Down, who is said to have died in the previous Impel Down attack.

Katakuri frowned, his gaze fixed on him, and then on the other unfamiliar enemies, his expression turning somewhat grim.

"What on earth happened? Where did these guys come from?"

Clearly, it is because of these people that the battlefield situation is so unfavorable.

"Fine... I'll just defeat you all!"

Thinking too much is useless. What we need to do now is stabilize the situation. The simplest way is to use our fighting power to defeat the enemy.

That's exactly what Katakuri was going to do.

Chapter 60 Artoria Makes Her Move

"Hey hey hey~~"

Shiryu brandished his longsword, slaughtering wantonly on the battlefield and unleashing a storm of blood.

These past few days, being restrained and controlled by Luo Hao had already made this inherently wicked guy extremely uncomfortable. Now that some of the restrictions had been lifted, he naturally went on a killing spree without any mercy.

Such a Shiryu would undoubtedly be a huge threat on the battlefield.

Katakuri, of course, could not turn a blind eye.

"!!!"

Shiryu's carefree expression vanished, his face changed drastically, and a strong sense of crisis surged through him.

With a swing of his longsword, a powerful burst of sword energy erupted forth.

Squeak~

The sword energy sliced ​​the rice ball in half, but under Katakuri's control, the rice quickly reassembled, enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki, and slammed heavily into Shiryu's body.

The heavy blow struck Shiryu, sending him flying.

While attacking Shiryu, Katakuri also launched an attack on Pizarro, Jotaro, and others, seemingly determined to turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Countless rice ball fists attacked the group, their surging momentum and swift attacks sending many of the 19 great pirates flying in an instant.

This action drew cheers from many of the Big Mom Pirates on the battlefield.

"As expected of Katakuri, he's so strong! He easily did things that we couldn't do!"

"It's exhilarating and makes you completely convinced!"

"So powerful... This is... Observation Haki? This man? He possesses a very high level of Observation Haki!"

Pizarro stood up, staring at the figure with a serious expression.

In that brief exchange, he clearly felt the power of his opponent's attack, like a relentless, surging tide, an attack that made it hard to breathe.

Every strike was so precise, guiding them to make the reactions he wanted, thus seizing the last opening and sending them flying.

This intensity reminded Pizarro of that legend.

When one's perception of color is cultivated to a high level, one can foresee the future.

He guessed that the man in front of him, dressed in a black metallic style, should possess this level of Observation Haki.

This inevitably made Pizarro wary.

However, he wasn't worried, since he didn't need to fight this person one-on-one.

Shiryu, Jot, and the others also stood up, glaring menacingly at Katakuri.

They were all powerful figures who had once dominated the seas. Although they were caught off guard, they were not so easily defeated by Katakuri.

Katakuri's expression was equally grave; he showed no sign of letting his guard down despite having just sent these people flying.

In fact, he also sensed a faint sense of oppression emanating from the three of them.

These three are definitely strong enough to be no less than the captains of Whitebeard's crew, with Shiryu even being stronger. At the same time, Katakuri has to face these three, no... strictly speaking, he also has to be wary of Marco in the sky. That is to say, he has to face Marco, who is equivalent to him in the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as three other powerful enemies, for a total of four people.

Even he was under immense pressure and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Clenching his fist, his Observation Haki, capable of foreseeing the future, activated, locking onto the three people in front of him and Marco in the sky.

At the same time, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, spreading it out recklessly to influence the four people in preparation for the upcoming battle.

……

"This is incredible! That kid actually has Conqueror's Haki!"

Whitebeard said with some curiosity.

It's important to know that Conqueror's Haki is generally only possessed by people who don't have a suppressor on their heads.

For pirates, it means being the captain of a ship.

Because only such people have enough ambition and courage to awaken the Conqueror's Haki.

It's rare for someone like this, a subordinate of so-and-so, to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

"Lingling really has an outstanding child!"
