I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Rayleigh blocked Big Mom's next sword strike with his sword, his mind filled with complex emotions, but he didn't say much.

Seeing that Rayleigh remained silent, Big Mom's anger intensified, but she couldn't escape Rayleigh's entanglement for the time being. She grinned and revealed a chilling smile.

"Katakuri, Smoothie...you guys go!"

"Yes, Mom."

Katakuri and the others immediately responded.

"A siege?"

Katakuri muttered something under his breath, raised his trident, and charged into the battlefield.

However, when he saw Sieg still standing alone in the same spot, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Smoothie...you guys wait here." Katakuri suddenly spoke, stopping Smoothie and the others behind him:

“I can handle an enemy of Sig’s caliber by myself.”

Meanwhile, the singing continued.

Alone on the summit, the cold wind kept blowing.

Who can understand my loneliness?

A black line appeared on Katakuri's forehead, and his eyes turned cold.

"Fine, let's all go together."

Chapter 317 Foreseeing the Future

Seeing Katakuri and the others rush forward, Sengoku and the others on the side remained still and quietly observed.

"Great General of the Warring States Period, are we really just going to stand by and watch?"

"If such arrogant criminals are not stopped immediately, it will tarnish the name of justice!"

Major General Onigumo of the headquarters had a sullen face and was in a bad mood.

Upon hearing the singing coming from Yinbeili, he felt his brow twitch and wished he could rush up and arrest Sig immediately.

"Not urgent."

Sengoku remained calm, his gaze fixed on Katakuri.

"I've heard that Big Mom's second son, Katakuri, has surpassed his mother and has mastered Observation Haki to the point where he can foresee the future... Add to that the rest of Big Mom's crew, and Higuma won't last long."

"We'll strike when Sig is injured or defeated."

"not to mention..."

Sengoku glanced around the battlefield but didn't continue speaking.

........

At the same time, as Katakuri and the others stepped forward, Sig also brought up the system panel.

Iruma card, activate!

Instantly, the remaining uses of the card jumped from 2 to 1.

The time limit for the cards is 5 minutes, which is longer than the duration of a song.

After activating the card, Sig still felt uncertain, his heart pounding.

Katakuri is the leader of the Big Mom Pirates' Sweet Commanders, and is arguably the strongest member of the entire crew besides Big Mom. He is also a user of the Mochi Mochi Fruit.

Whether the Iruma card's 100% evasion ability will be effective remains to be seen.

This made Sieg's heart pound, and the sound of the Emperor's engine grew increasingly dense and deep.

Katakuri didn't say much, and immediately lunged forward, his arm quickly transforming into sticky rice, stretching out rapidly, wrapping around the trident in his hand as it hurtled through the air.

"Spiritual Thrust!"

He held the trident straight and thrust it toward Sieg's chest with lightning speed.

Just as the trident was about to reach his body, Katakuri's gaze narrowed slightly, and a brief vision of the future appeared in his eyes.

"You dodged my attack by sidestepping? Your reaction was indeed quick. But that's enough for now."

Katakuri's lips, hidden beneath his scarf, curled into a slight smile.

In a flash, the trident in his hand changed from a thrust to a sweep, tearing through the air towards Sig!

Bang bang bang bang bang...

At this moment, the thumping of the Emperor's engine became more urgent and intense, and a powerful sense of oppression emanated from Sieg.

Just as the trident was about to strike, Sieg's figure flashed to the other side by a hair's breadth, appearing a few steps away.

Bang bang bang bang!

Under the power of the Emperor Engine, Sieg's blood surged through his limbs and bones like a river, causing his entire body to churn with energy. His movements and reactions were many times faster than usual.

In front of Katakuri, the Emperor Engine surged to its limit, its rapid beats seemingly blending seamlessly with the music that resounded throughout the arena.

"He dodged it?"

Katakuri's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat confused about what had just happened.

He clearly saw the future... but he didn't manage to stab Sieg?

Sieg's dodging actions were completely the opposite of the future he saw.

"Was the judgment made wrong by Observation Haki?"

Katakuri frowned slightly. Ever since he mastered Observation Haki to the point of seeing into the future, almost no one could evade his attacks, but this time he failed.

"Katakuri-nii-san, I'm here to help you!"

Behind the battlefield, Charlotte Daifuku quickly rubbed her body together, and suddenly a genie with indigo skin appeared and slashed at Sieg.

"Demon Slash!"

This strike was quite powerful; wherever it struck, the ground cracked open, creating a huge ravine tens of meters long.

However, this attack still missed.

Only then did Sieg breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He didn't even need to consciously dodge; his body's instincts would guide him to make the most effective evasive maneuver...

Although it seemed fraught with danger, Iruma Card had never failed in his many uses of the Imperial Engine.

In the brief moments between dodging, Sig even had a chance to glance at the card panel.

To achieve a card synergy of 35%... this means he needs to rack up 6% synergy in just five minutes.

If you fail to meet the requirements within the allotted time, the opportunity will be gone.

Sigurd pondered for a moment, then prepared to begin his performance again.

"Hehehe..."

The moment his laughter left his mouth, Katakuri's trident struck again, relentlessly piercing through the air with each thrust, the sound of it whistling through the air filling the air as he subtly unleashed his Observation Haki.

But this time, they still failed.

Sieg's dodging movements weren't actually that fast for him, but for some reason, he always managed to dodge his attacks at the last second before being hit.

One mistake can be considered a mistake, but so many consecutive mistakes are not normal.

This made Katakuri frown, feeling like he was punching cotton, that uncomfortable feeling of having no leverage.

A strange feeling welled up inside him.

He was a master of Observation Haki, and he had always relied on his ability to foresee the future, combined with the Mochi Mochi Fruit, to completely ignore other people's attacks... But now, the situation has been reversed.

What does it mean that Sieg evaded his series of attacks at a slower pace?

"Is his Observation Haki level stronger than mine?"

Katakuri frowned slightly.

"You also saw the future? No, even so, you couldn't possibly evade my attack completely," Katakuri asked in a low voice, his voice tinged with doubt.

He wasn't one to waste words in the heat of battle, but Sieg's situation certainly piqued his curiosity.

Over the years, Katakuri has never encountered anyone who has reached the same level as him.

"The future? You're oversimplifying things," Sieg scoffed.

"I not only saw the future, I also saw that you saw my future!"

"All your attacks are useless!"

Katakuri paused for a moment.

"Really? Can Observation Haki really reach such a level?"

Katakuri had reservations about this.

He originally thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his Observation Haki, which allowed him to briefly foresee the future.

But now, he has encountered someone with Observation Haki who seems to be even stronger than him...

He narrowed his eyes, but his whole being suddenly invigorated.

This opponent is worth fighting!

"So, if I hit you, it means my Observation Haki will advance to a higher level, right?" Katakuri thought to himself.

Chapter 318 Alone at the Summit

Katakuri ignored his brothers who were besieging Sigurd, and even Sigurd himself.

Instead, he relaxed and used his Observation Haki once again.

Then, his trident flashed out again. But halfway through the thrust, his gaze sharpened, and he changed his move, switching from a straight thrust to an upward slash.

In the future he saw, Sieg leaped lightly upwards, dodging his attack.

However, Katakuri didn't have much faith in his Observation Haki.
