"Terraman/Captain!" the crew shouted, their voices filled with anxiety. Law lay on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes burning with intense frustration. Since joining the Straw Hat crew, Law had positioned himself as part of the second combat echelon alongside Zoro, while Luffy and Carl handled the primary threats like Big Mom and Kaido. However, in his current, battered state, he realized his strength was still far from enough.
Looking around, Zoro was holding his own in a tense stalemate against Shiryu, a man whose strength was comparable to the Calamity Jhin. Meanwhile, Marie and Mr. 3 had successfully defeated two of the three Sweet Commanders, and Sanji was firmly suppressing Badgers. The rest of the crew were performing well, leaving Law feeling like the only one falling behind.
"I! Am! Not! Done!" Law gritted his teeth, climbing to his feet to face Katakuri once more. Though he knew the odds were against him, he refused to back down even if it meant death. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji glanced at him; they saw his determination and courage, and while they were worried, they knew stopping him would be an insult to his spirit. They watched silently, ready to intervene only if his life was truly at risk.
Katakuri ignored Law, instead focusing on the fallen Smoothie and the unconscious Cracker with visible anger. "Mom, it is because I failed to guide my younger siblings well that they have failed," Katakuri said, taking full responsibility.
"Katakuri, if you want to apologize, kill the remaining Straw Hats, otherwise I will not forgive Smoothie and Cracker," Big Mom retorted, her tone dripping with murderous intent. "As the second combat force of the kingdom, losing to a group of fledgling rookies makes me embarrassed!".
"Yes, Mom! I will kill the Straw Hat crew!" Katakuri agreed, locking his murderous gaze onto Law. Law smiled, opening his "Room" and pointing his blade at Katakuri.
Carl sneered at Big Mom, taunting her: "Charlotte Linlin, haven't you been beaten like a dog by us newcomers? I don't see you blaming yourself! You blame your children for what they cannot do; you are an unqualified parent. If I kill you, I believe Katakuri and the others would agree, as they wouldn't have to die!".
Big Mom erupted in rage. "Bastard! I'll show you my power!". She lunged forward with a move called "Mother's Visit: Three Thousand Miles," sending a giant woman made of fire and energy toward Carl. Carl charged forward, his own sword-supported movement carrying him like a rocket. "Cross God! Die!" he roared, landing a double-sword strike that sent Big Mom flying backward, blood pouring from her chest.
Desperate, Big Mom threw her sword, Napoleon, to Prometheus. The three Homies merged, and with a swing of the sword, they fired a massive laser cannon. "Sound Cannon!". The beam hit Carl directly, causing a violent explosion. When the smoke cleared, Carl's clothes were tattered and he was bleeding, but he remained indifferent, having braced for the impact.
"Damn kid, you're hard to kill!" Big Mom spat.
"You're an old woman in your sixties, you should be buried already," Carl replied coolly.
While they traded blows, Law focused on Katakuri. Katakuri dismissed Law, despite being hit by him earlier. When Katakuri attacked, Law used his "Room" ability to teleport behind him, stabbing at the Sweet Commander's back. "Your method, I predicted it long ago!" Katakuri countered, spinning to sweep Law away with a powerful kick. Law fell but rose quickly, throwing debris and imbuing his sword, Kikoku, with high-frequency current. "Slaughterhouse! High-Frequency Scalpel!". He teleported above Katakuri, plunging his blade toward the commander's forehead. "Glutinous Ball Stabbing!".
