Chapter 367: You guy, what are you going to do to my family!?
Totto Land, Charlotte Island.
Dark clouds shrouded the top of the island, and the fierce wind blew the scarf around Katakuri's neck.
"The Homies in the southwest direction haven't sent any messages back for thirty minutes."
"The sky Homies to the north are the same."
Beside him, Perospero and Smoothie were reporting the situation with serious faces.
"Mm."
Katakuri nodded silently: "Evacuation and martial law?"
"The highest level of evacuation orders has already been issued. Everyone has previous experience and is very obedient to commands now."
"Martial law has also been completed, and watchtowers have been raised in the nearby sea areas... But Katakuri... are you sure we're not preparing a plan to evacuate the main island?"
Perospero reported like this, but there was some hesitation in his eyes.
While speaking, his gaze also looked around.
Exactly as previously stated—Charlotte Island is a massive island formed after the remnants of the entire Big Mom Pirates forcefully connected the core islands of Totto Land together using Katakuri's "Mochi-Mochi Fruit".
Right now, in all directions of this massive island, the flags of the Big Mom Pirates and tall watchtowers have already been erected.
On the watchtowers, members of the Charlotte Family can be seen standing ready in battle formation.
Clearly, they had long been prepared for "war".
"This is Totto Land."
Katakuri said calmly: "It's the homeland Mama built for us—if we retreat without fighting out of fear even when there is outside assistance, then we have no right to be pirates!"
"But Brother Katakuri, we should at least try to intercept them outside the island... Although The Zodiac promised to help us, what if they break their promise? It wouldn't be good if the battle broke out on the main island."
"That is 'Beasts' Kaido after all, a guy on par with Mama..."
Beside Katakuri, Smoothie frowned deeply.
Unlike Perospero, she actually didn't hesitate about choosing to fight.
But she believed they shouldn't just give up the outer sea directly, but should ensure the battle didn't take place on the main island.
Hearing this, Katakuri glanced at Smoothie.
"The Zodiac will not break their promise."
He calmly gave an almost absolute answer: "She will not break her promise."
As soon as these words came out, Perospero and Smoothie were collectively stunned.
Subsequently, they spoke no more.
They both knew very well who the person Katakuri mentioned was.
If it was her, she indeed wouldn't break her promise to them.
And exactly at this moment in the conversation...
"..."
"..."
Katakuri seemed to sense something and instantly raised his head.
His pupils contracted in an instant. Within his gaze, his Observation Haki that transcended limits almost allowed him to see the future scenes and that extremely clear feeling of... destruction!
"Smoothie! Brother Perospero!"
He roared in a low voice.
Smoothie and Perospero raised their heads in confusion.
Just a moment later, they heard that booming loud noise.
"Roar!"
That was the sound of a dragon's roar.
Accompanying it, was the red light shining from beyond the sky densely covered with dark clouds in the already pitch-black night sky.
That was a roaring, burning firelight—like a massive meteor falling from the sky, or a sun appearing out of thin air in this dark night, it crossed a distance of several kilometers in an instant and sped towards Charlotte Island.
At the end of the firelight illuminating the dark night, the silhouette of a giant dragon could faintly be seen coiling its body, and below it were a massive number of pirate ships.
"It's Kaido's 'Blast Breath'!"
Seeing that menacing attack, Smoothie also immediately said in a deep voice—as fellow Four Emperor pirate crews, they had also clashed with the Beasts more than once in the past, and naturally had personally seen Kaido spew out that terrifying blast breath capable of destroying a high mountain with a single strike.
Even so, the three of them still had no intention of retreating in the slightest.
At this moment, the three of them almost moved simultaneously.
"Unstoppable Donuts: Giant Fist!"
Katakuri leaped up, his right hand turning into mochi and continuously extending, turning into a giant fist resembling a giant's in just an instant.
"Flowing Water Slash: Juicing Power 100%!"
Smoothie took down the giant sword from her back, raised her hand and drank a cup of beverage prepared beforehand, her figure similarly turning into the size of a giant, and abruptly swung the long sword in her hand.
"Candy Wall: Giant Golem!"
The candy syrup in Perospero's hand spread, turning into a massive candy golem in an instant, also blocking in front of the "Blast Breath".
The next moment...
BOOM!
Kaido's Blast Breath collided with the moves used by the three on the sea surface outside Charlotte Island.
A massive shockwave instantly rolled up giant waves across the entire sea surface centered on the collision point.
The seawater was evaporated out of thin air, turning into dense water mist, which was then blown away by the violent impact.
After all the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone saw that the giant fist formed by mochi, the slash formed by flowing water, and the giant condensed from candy syrup were currently bombarded and covered in scars.
On all three were ferocious penetrating wounds and scorched pitch-black hollows.
"Hah... hah... hah..."
"To think a single strike..."
Seeing this scene, Perospero and Smoothie were already panting heavily—the strike just now was a move they could only execute after pushing their abilities with all their might.
Although Katakuri beside them didn't have this exhausted look, his expression was similarly exceptionally solemn.
"Still the same as before... identical to Mama, monster-level power."
His eyes were sharp—even though he had never relaxed his training recently, he still had to admit... the gap between him and a Four Emperor was still very large!
"However, we at least managed to block the first strike... Hm!?"
He muttered to himself like this in his heart, but before he could even slightly breathe a sigh of relief, his expression changed drastically.
Because his Observation Haki that "foresaw the future" had already allowed him to see what was going to happen next.
"Ho... Linlin's children—quite capable, much less troublesome than my idiot son."
Right now, the ferocious vertical pupils of the evil dragon soaring in the sky were looking at that island in the distance.
"But unfortunately—it's 'war' right now."
"Forces not under my command, in a war, are things that should be destroyed!"
Accompanied by such a roar, scorching flames spewed from his mouth once again.
Besides this...
VMMM!
From his left arm, within that incredibly clear contract mark, pitch-black light flickered.
Even the scorching crimson flames in his mouth turned into almost pitch-black 'black flames' the next moment.
"Abyssal Blast Breath!"
Without even a pause, he opened his mouth and spewed another blast breath.
And this time, the power contained within the burning pitch-black firelight far exceeded the previous one.
The dark clouds were instantly torn apart by a deeper darkness, and a massive hollow caved in on the sea surface out of thin air.
Under this situation, the expressions of Katakuri and the other two became increasingly ugly.
Perospero and Smoothie suppressed the exhaustion in their bodies and forcefully activated their abilities again—the giant and the slash formed by candy syrup reappeared, and the giant fist constructed of mochi smashed towards the blast breath again.
But...
Rumble!
This time, the ability creations of the three main combat forces of the Charlotte Family were destroyed in an instant—that blast breath was almost like penetrating tofu, easily shattering the abilities of the three.
Then... that massive blast breath continued undiminished, speeding towards Charlotte Island!
BOOM!
The next moment, a booming explosion and massive smoke and dust rose together—the entire Charlotte Island was shrouded in that massive smoke, dust, and tremor.
"The Blast Breath hit!"
"As expected of Governor-General Kaido!"
"Completely overwhelming power—Totto Land without Big Mom is simply vulnerable to a single blow in front of Governor-General Kaido!"
The massive Beasts fleet behind Kaido also let out cheers.
"Worororororo!"
Kaido also opened his mouth and let out a huge laugh.
"Not bad, this power... I am very satisfied!"
He clenched his left claw, feeling the boiling power within his body.
Then...
"Go, boys!"
With a sweep of his dragon tail, stirring up monstrous waves, he looked at Charlotte Island where smoke and dust were rising everywhere: "Board the island—go capture the 'victory' of this war for me!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" *N
"Charge, treasure, women!"
"Totto Land's desserts are unparalleled, I'm going to capture a beautiful female pastry chef to take back!"
"Hey hey, if there are Devil Fruits, can I have one?"
"Who's going to give it to you!"
Accompanied by deafening cheers, the fleets below hoisted their sails and accelerated, the fastest among them quickly bypassing Kaido's figure and heading towards Charlotte Island.
But, an instant later.
"Hm?"
"..."
Kaido's brows abruptly furrowed—he sensed some kind of anomaly.
His originally casually soaring dragon body stopped abruptly, and his pair of vertical pupils looked towards Charlotte Island shrouded in smoke and dust.
In that gradually dissipating smoke and dust, some kind of massive "thing" shrouding that island was faintly revealing its appearance.
Or to be more precise—that thing itself presented a semi-transparent appearance, and it was only because of the surrounding smoke and dust that its shape appeared particularly conspicuous.
That was a barrier resembling a "bear paw".
Countless compressed air compressed to the extreme formed an incredibly hard barrier.
And at this time, above that barrier.
A tall man holding a Bible was slowly extending his hands—by the way, he also wore a sea beast animal mask on his face, but because it was too small, there was no way to conceal his face at all.
Of course, his globally known ability itself couldn't be concealed either.
[Bear's Barrier]
Right now, Charlotte Island, within the protection of that barrier, was strikingly unscathed.
That was exactly...
"Zodiac Constellation, 'Root'."
Or rather...
"It's... it's the former Warlord of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma!"
"Why is he appearing here!?"
"That mask, it seems to be... seems to be..."
"Are you an idiot? It was already heard before, Bartholomew Kuma seems to have joined The Zodiac, the death of the Five Elders 'Saturn' before seems to be related to him!"
"Stop first, adjust the course, and then coordinate with Governor-General Kaido to fire... hey, what's going on? Why is the ship out of control!"
"The ship is rising, what on earth... hey... my body also... can't... can't move!"
After seeing Kuma appear, the members of the Beasts Pirates charging at the very front were stunned at first—anyone with a bit of knowledge naturally knew Kuma's identity, so they instinctively wanted to wait for Kaido's next command before acting together.
But quickly they discovered, they couldn't.
The entire sea area near Charlotte Island began to experience a massive "anomaly" at this time.
The originally rough seawater inexplicably began to calm down, even seemingly pressed down and caved in by some kind of pressure.
Their bodies were also directly pressed against the deck by that heavy pressure appearing out of thin air, and most ordinary members found it difficult to even move.
On the contrary, their ships distinctly began to rise upwards.
"That is..."
At this time, some of the stronger Headliners brought by Kaido, who could still move slightly on the ship, had already seen a figure floating in the sky in the distance.
That was a robust man holding a tachi and stepping in wooden clogs.
He stepped on a flying rock, and similarly wore a sea beast animal mask on his face.
"Zodiac Constellation, 'Tail'."
He said in a low voice: "Under the command of the stars, coming to stop this war."
As the words fell, he gently lowered the tachi in his hand.
[Gravity Blade: Community]
Thus...
BOOM!
The batch of Beasts Pirates' pirate ships charging at the very front abruptly plummeted downwards.
"Ah!"
Rumble!
"Governor-General Kaido, save..."
Countless members of the Beasts didn't even have time to let out a scream before abruptly plunging into the deep sea—even if Headliners or some Beasts members with flying abilities barely leaped off the ship at this moment, they also abruptly plummeted into the sea under that massive gravity.
This scene also caused the expressions of other pirate ships in the back, who originally wanted to launch attacks, to change drastically, and they hurriedly stopped their ships' forward momentum.
"The Zodiac..."
Seeing this scene, a sharp look also appeared in Kaido's pair of vertical pupils.
"I see, Linlin's children have already..."
He seemed to want to say something.
But his words also only had time to be halfway spoken.
Rumble!
He strikingly heard the sound of thunder coming from above his head.
As well as an aura and angry roar booming and bursting, not inferior to thunder.
"Kai! Do!"
That was a voice quite familiar in his memory, yet quite unfamiliar.
Kaido almost instinctively raised his head.
And then he saw, that figure wearing a purple long dress, a captain's hat on her head, holding a long sword.
She treaded thunderclouds and flames, from above the sky... flying over!
Zzzt!
Wrapped in red-black Conqueror's Haki lightning, her appearance was not like the aging look of the past—on the contrary, her body right now was actually as beautiful and tough as when she was at her youngest.
And the look in her eyes was not as violent and mindless as the "Four Emperor" the world knew.
Her eyes were clear and determined, innocent as a child, carrying intense... anger the moment she saw Kaido!
"You guy, what are you going to do... to my family!?"
"Linlin!?"
At the moment of seeing Linlin, Kaido was too shocked to speak, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
But Charlotte Linlin would not give him time to react...
"Elbaf's Spear: Ikoku!"
Linlin swung her long sword down, the slash that dominated nations... striking Kaido's massive dragon body down from the sky!
