Round 2 — Ben Goes Brainstorm (Analysis Mode)
Katakuri vs Luffy (Gear 3 Clash, Dark Cut)
Ben steps away from the clash, but his silence doesn't mean safety.
The Omnitrix flashes — yellow lightning pulses through his veins.
FLASH — Brainstorm.
Eight crackling limbs unfurl from his back.
Electricity dances over glass shards like a storm given intelligence.
He isn't fighting.
He's dissecting the fight like a surgeon with lightning for fingers.
Katakuri lunges — twin mochi spears coated in jet-black Haki.
Luffy answers with Gear 3: Elephant Gun.
Bone-shattering force collides against future-sight precision.
Glass explodes off the floors like bullets.
Brainstorm's voice is low, eerie:
Brainstorm:
"He's not responding to you.
He's responding to the future version of you."
Ben maps everything.
Breathing tempo.
Heel pressure.
Shoulder torque.
Katakuri dodges a punch before the muscle twitches to throw it.
That's the nightmare.
Ben finishes his calculation.
Brainstorm:
"Luffy. Stop planning punches.
Act before you think.
Become unpredictable — even to yourself."
Katakuri's eye flickers — annoyance.
He knows Ben just handed Luffy a weapon.
Luffy's breathing slows.
Instinct slides into the driver's seat.
He leans back —
before Katakuri's punch is thrown.
Katakuri:
"So… you're finally looking ahead too."
Luffy grins with blood in his teeth.

Round 3 — Gear Fourth + Ultimate Echo Echo vs Katakuri
Future Sight vs Chaos
Steam erupts from Luffy's skin.
The room darkens around him.
GEAR FOURTH: BOUNDMAN.
Floor dents beneath him.
Ben slams the Omnitrix again.
FLASH — Ultimate Echo Echo.
Fifteen hovering sonic disks float like weapons from another universe.
Armament Haki surges through their edges — black rings over cold metal.
Katakuri exhales slowly.
The fight just got real.
---
Phase 1 — Breaking the Pattern
Luffy rockets in — patterns broken, movements jagged and chaotic.
Ben's sonic channels distort every echo in the Mirror World.
Katakuri tries predicting — his vision stutters.
Luffy:
"Kong Gun!"
An invisible sonic shove knocks Katakuri's balance off by a fraction —
just enough for the punch to land.
Katakuri skids hard.
The floor cracks.
He's surprised.
Not afraid… not yet.
But the mask slips.
---
Phase 2 — Katakuri Shows His True Form
He wipes blood from his mouth like cleaning ink from a page.
Katakuri:
"You two are forcing me to abandon elegance."
His body swells — massive, Haki-armored, overwhelming.
He blitzes forward faster than the echo of his own steps.
Luffy is speared through a wall of mirrors.
Ben is smashed to the ground — sparks flying.
Even Echo Echo's bones vibrate with pain.
---
Phase 3 — Ben's Battlefield Hack
Ben stands, cracked but grinning.
Ultimate Echo Echo:
"He can't predict what he can't process."
Every surviving disk slams into the surfaces around them.
Then—
Sonic Overdrive.
The entire dimension warps.
Reflections stretch.
Footsteps echo wrong.
Air hums like a dying world.
Katakuri's pupils shrink.
His future sight collapses into static.
Katakuri:
"…I can't see—"
Too late.
Luffy erupts forward.
Luffy:
"PYTHON!"
Arms bend like serpents.
Ben detonates a sonic blast.
Katakuri takes both hits full force.
He drops to one knee.
Future no longer certain.
---
Phase 4 — Respect Among Monsters
Katakuri rises.
Bleeding.
Breathing hard.
Katakuri:
"You have earned… my intent to kill you."
Luffy cracks his neck and points his fist forward.
Luffy:
"We'll beat your future… together."
Ben's disks circle for another strike — but he knows the truth:
This is Luffy's mountain.
Ultimate Echo Echo (quiet):
"I'll break the world around you…
but you have to be the one who stands on top of it."
Katakuri adjusts his stance.
Future sight flickering, unstable — but unbroken.
Three monsters.
One reflection shattering with every blow.
And the real battle hasn't even started.
