Kronos laughed, as if he had expected the other person to say that.
"Katakuri, have you thought this through carefully?"
"Once you die, what will happen to your family?"
"Can you really just stand by and watch something happen to them without doing anything?"
Katakuri's eyes were filled with anger.
This bastard Kronos was clearly threatening them!
But—he had no choice!
They were completely outmatched.
Katakuri truly hated Kronos and the others. In his heart, he cursed them as viciously as he could.
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything against the Kamui Pirates out loud.
He couldn't utter a single harsh word!
If he did, it would only further provoke them and make the situation worse—and that was the last thing Katakuri wanted.
In truth, Kronos was right about one thing. There were two main reasons why Katakuri hadn't fought the Kamui Pirates yet.
The first reason, naturally, was that he understood their strength—he knew he stood no chance against so many powerful foes.
But the more important reason was this:
He didn't want his family to die for nothing because of his pride.
Katakuri wasn't a fool. He could tell there was still room for negotiation.
Maybe Kronos and the others would be willing to consider the bigger picture and let them go—it wasn't impossible.
After all, behind him stood the entire Charlotte Family.
If Charlotte Linlin—one of the Four Emperors—found out about this, she would definitely be furious!
Katakuri alone understood the weight of the situation.
His siblings had no idea what was going through their big brother's mind.
At that moment, one of Katakuri's younger brothers, Charlotte Oven, stepped forward. His face flushed with rage, he shouted at Kronos and the others:
"If you have the guts, fight us fair and square!"
"You're just relying on numbers!"
"If it's one-on-one, Katakuri wouldn't lose to anyone—not even your Kamui Pirates!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the crew of the Kamui Pirates paused in surprise. Then, they all burst out laughing, as if they'd just heard the most ridiculous joke.
"Hahaha!"
"What kind of nonsense is this idiot spouting? Is there something wrong with his head? Saying something that dumb..."
"Don't tell me the whole Charlotte Family is this stupid? If that's the case, then in my opinion, they're the most pathetic of all the Four Emperors!"
"A one-on-one fight? You really think you're that strong? Compared to us, the Charlotte Family is trash!"
The Kamui Pirates jeered one after another. None of them took Oven's words seriously. In their eyes, he must've had a few screws loose.
"Arghhh! I'm so pissed off!"
"I really want to crush that bug with my own hands!"
Albedo stomped her feet in fury. If Kronos gave the order to attack, she would be the first to move—determined to silence the arrogant Oven once and for all!
