----------
Tea Party Garden.
Big Mom's children smiled brightly, celebrating Katakuri becoming the captain.
Before the reality of defeating Mama, no one would question it. Even the eldest son, Perospero, willingly called his younger brother captain at this moment.
The invited Underworld Emperors also presented gifts, warmly congratulating Katakuri on his ascension.
Katakuri was expressionless, speaking sparingly, his aloof demeanor making his younger siblings worship him even more.
The perfect older brother!
Just as everyone was immersed in the banquet, Katakuri suddenly spoke.
"Trouble is coming."
"Trouble?"
Everyone was confused.
The next moment, the garden gate was violently kicked open!
The Straw Hats appeared, each member fully armed with guns, clearly indicating their hostile intentions.
"It's the Straw Hats!"
"How did they get here?"
"Gah gah, this is going to be good!"
Morgans pulled out his Den Den Mushi, excitedly filming the Straw Hats.
Today's big news just kept coming!
At the entrance, Zoro and Sanji moved aside, and then Luffy, in a red suit, walked out from between them, his gaze quickly locking onto Katakuri.
Katakuri frowned deeply.
"Don't shout."
"Katakuri!"
Luffy roared and ran forward, and as the ministers tried to block him, he instantly moved above the banquet plaza, his fists becoming gigantic as he swung them behind him.
"Gum-Gum Grizzly Magnum!"
Two Haki-infused giant fists slammed into the grand banquet table.
"Boom!"
Tables and chairs shattered, and smoke billowed into the sky!
Luffy retracted his fists, his gaze sweeping over the smoke below, when suddenly his vision blurred, and Katakuri appeared before him.
"Slap!"
His neck was gripped by the opponent!
Luffy couldn't breathe, struggling violently, his fists and feet continuously striking Katakuri's body, but all attacks passed through Katakuri's body, unable to cause any damage.
When the smoke cleared, and the affected Underworld Emperors were fuming, the battle had already concluded.
Katakuri's tall figure stood in the center of the banquet hall, his right hand gripping Straw Hat Luffy's neck.
The Straw Hat, who had been shouting moments ago, was now limp like a noodle, his eyes rolling back as he was about to lose consciousness.
"Luffy!"
The Straw Hat crew cried out in fear.
What just happened in that instant? With Luffy's strength, he shouldn't have been defeated so easily!
"Cook!"
"Understood!"
Zoro and Sanji reacted the fastest, charging at Katakuri from left and right.
As the ministers collectively moved to confront the two, Katakuri spoke coldly. "Let them come."
"Bastards, don't let the Straw Hats get close to Katakuri-nii!"
The ministers roared in anger, but after taking two steps, they immediately stopped, looking resentfully at Katakuri-nii.
Foreseeing the future was too terrifying.
Katakuri noticed his siblings' reactions and couldn't help but recall the situation when he fought Daichi, the corner of his mouth under his scarf slightly curving upward.
Next time, I still shouldn't speak in advance.
"Purgatory Oni Giri!"
"Diable Jambe!"
Zoro and Sanji rushed to the center of the hall, attacking simultaneously!
"Oni Giri!"
"Collier Strike!"
"Clang!"
Two large hands grabbed Sanji's kicking leg and Zoro's sword!
Katakuri stood motionless, mochi arms extending from his sides, blocking Zoro and Sanji's attacks while also using the mochi's properties to restrain them.
Easily handled.
Katakuri looked down indifferently at the Straw Hats' three main fighters.
"Is this all you're capable of?"
"Damn it!"
Zoro and Sanji struggled hard, but couldn't break free from the mochi restraint. Instead, their bodies were gradually enveloped by mochi.
What kind of Devil Fruit user is this guy?
The last time they met, Luffy was defeated in a one-on-one fight with him, but he seemed busy with other matters and didn't pursue them.
It was only when they truly faced him that they realized Katakuri's strength.
The other crewmates also rushed forward, but the result was the same. Katakuri extended multiple mochi limbs from his back, sticking everyone.
"What is this?!"
"Damn guy, using such despicable methods!"
"Wah, help!"
Nami, Franky, Chopper.
The three cried out in fear, but the more they struggled, the more mochi covered them, like sinking into a swamp.
Robin and the others were also trapped by the mochi, unable to move.
In less than a minute, the Straw Hats were defeated.
Suddenly, the restrained Straw Hats felt their bodies loosen, and they all fell to the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Luffy clutched his neck, coughing continuously, desperately gasping for air. He felt like he had almost died.
Katakuri looked down at the Straw Hats, taking the initiative to explain his ability.
"First, let me explain—I am a Mochi-Mochi Fruit user. If you are touched by my body, you will be stuck by mochi."
"Seeing how unwilling you are, I'll give you one more chance. Show me your strongest side. Don't disappoint me."
He completely disregarded the Straw Hats.
Or rather, Katakuri was showcasing his strength to his younger siblings, so they could feel more at ease.
"Damn it!"
Luffy got up, bit his arm, and blew into it, while Zoro and the others also unleashed their strongest techniques.
"Gear Fourth: Boundman!"
"Three-Sword Style!"
"Diable Jambe!"
The three main fighters charged simultaneously, unleashing their most powerful attacks!
"Gum-Gum King Cobra!"
"Oni Giri!"
"Party Table Kick Course!"
Punches, kicks, and slashes.
The three main fighters attacked frantically, countless fists and feet engulfing Katakuri. Except for Zoro, who was not good at continuous attacks, Luffy and Sanji both chose sustained offense.
They already knew that Katakuri possessed a Logia-like elementalization ability, so frequency was more important than more powerful single attacks.
"Correct strategy."
Katakuri praised them, his body parts constantly turning into mochi and breaking apart, dodging every attack.
The Straw Hats' choice was correct. Compared to a single decisive blow, a greater number of attacks was undoubtedly more effective, but it would only consume a little more of his energy.
When the attacks stopped, Katakuri stood perfectly unharmed in his original spot, his feet embedded in the ground, not having retreated a single step.
A despair-inducing sight!
"Even a Logia shouldn't be able to dodge all of our attacks. There must be something we don't understand!"
Zoro's eyes were shadowed.
All three of their attacks were imbued with Armament Haki. They shouldn't be ineffective. There must be something special.
When dealing with a Devil Fruit user, as long as you can decipher the secret of their ability, half the battle is won!
"It seems you cannot understand."
Katakuri said coldly.
"Don't worry, from now on, I won't use the ability I just used. I will crush you with pure power!"
"Mochi Thrust!"
Giant mochi donuts appeared above Katakuri's sides, from which square arms comparable to those of giants extended.
Katakuri swung his fist forward, and the giant arms from the donuts also swung, extending forward like a Gum-Gum Fruit.
Seeing this, Luffy immediately met him, his fist retracting into his arm.
"Gum-Gum King Kong Gun!"
"Mochi Thrust!"
"Bang!"
Fists collided, and black lightning spread!
The next second, Katakuri's iron fist pushed back the Gum-Gum fist, slamming heavily into Straw Hat Luffy's face!
"Waaahhh!"
Straw Hat Luffy screamed, flying wildly through the sky like a deflated balloon, then crashing heavily onto the ground, smoke rising from his mouth.
This time, he completely lost consciousness.
"So strong!"
"He defeated the Straw Hat with one punch!"
"As expected of Katakuri-nii!"
Totto Land erupted!
