Kaido awakens and defeat Luffy during battle of Onigashima

King couldn't help but laugh: "You are really arrogant!"

Katakuri said coldly: "I never say anything I'm not sure about!"

Then, his body immediately began to flow and turn into a high-speed rolling mochi ball, constantly approaching the opponent in a roundabout way.

King's flames fell one after another, but they were all foreseen and avoided by the other party's Observation Haki.

However, when the mochi ball came to him, the opponent did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he quickly went around and circled him.

King's attacks couldn't hit, and the other party didn't fight him head-on.

This made King angry. He said, "How long do you plan to play with me? Are you timid just after getting the upper hand?"

Katakuri, moving at high speed, responded: "Are you angry because you can't catch me? I have plenty of time!"

Several bloodshot threads emerged from King's eyes, and his figure suddenly surged, turning into a black blast and chasing the opponent.

Katakuri sneered secretly at this moment: "What I've been waiting for is now!"

"Peerless Donuts: Mochi mace !"

The mochi ball instantly condensed into his figure, and his arms quickly expanded and changed into the shape of a giant mace.

At the same time, he coated his arms with extremely strong Armament Haki and used the potential energy from the high-speed rolling to attack the approaching opponent like a meteor hammer.

He hit the top of King's head.

For some reason, King, who had never frowned in the face of a hail of bullets before, suddenly changed his expression. He sensed the extraordinary power of the opponent's move and immediately retreated violently.

"Hide? If I seriously want to fight, you will never be able to dodge!" Katakuri's eyes flashed red, and he immediately predicted King's dodge direction in advance. His offensive was adjusted instantly, landing precisely where King moved. It was so accurate that it was terrifying.

Such a close attack meant King could only use his armor to protect his body.

The huge black mace-like arm immediately covered King's entire body. With it, Katakuri smashed a terrifying giant hole into the ground, causing the entire Mirror World to shake and all the mirror surfaces to tremble.

Katakuri regained his arm and stared at the bottomless pit.

Then, a smile appeared on his lips.

Just as he predicted, not long after, a flaming figure soared into the sky from the bottom of the pit, spreading far away.

King was in a state of embarrassment at the moment, and even a corner of his iconic mask was cracked.

He stared at the other person and said, "It seems you have discovered my secret!"

Katakuri responded calmly: "It's obvious!"

He had guessed before that King's physical ability was closely related to his flame.

When there was a flame behind him, his body's hardness would become extremely terrifying, but his speed would be average.

When the flame behind him extinguished, his speed would greatly improve, but his defense ability would be greatly reduced at this time. His attack would be effective.

Speed and defense cannot be balanced at the same time, which is King's biggest weakness.

That's why Katakuri provoked him before, just to stimulate him to speed up and chase him, and the facts proved his suspicion.

But King's physical fitness still exceeded his expectations. The Lunarian clan's innate physique, coupled with the increase in ancient zoan, gave him extremely terrifying physical fitness and vitality.

The move just now was already Katakuri's most lethal. If it hit King head-on, it only injured him and did not make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Even so, King's condition had dropped a lot. After all, his opponent had strength comparable to his.

At this moment, King's whole body was in severe pain, and he was panting violently, but he still stared at the other party closely and suddenly asked: "So, is it true?"

"Huh?" Katakuri was also startled and stopped.

King said seriously: "I heard that you lost to the Straw Hats before. I thought it was outrageous at first, but then his performance in Wano left me speechless!"

"And now, I also clearly realize that that kid has the power to surpass us!"

Katakuri was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "I lost that battle, and I am also convinced he will reach heights higher than we have!"

Then, he looked up at King and asked, "I also heard that you lost to the pirate hunter on the Straw Hat ship in Wano?"

King was startled and said: "Although I am very unwilling to admit it, it is true that my skills are inferior to his!"

After Katakuri heard this, he looked at the half of the wings that had been cut off from King's back. He was silent for a moment and said, "What a terrifying person!"

"It's embarrassing to think about it. We two losers are still competing here!"

At this moment, King slowly tore off the damaged mask on his face, revealing his dark skin and long silver hair, and showing a resolute and handsome face. He said seriously: "There are winners and losers in battles, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"No matter how many times you win or lose in the past, it's all meaningless! Only this battle in front of you is meaningful!"

Whole Cake Island, Day 5.

During the fight between L'Aquila and Oven, the battle continued for three days.

Oven was out of breath, exhausted, and had several hideous wounds on his body.

L'Aquila also had many burn marks on his body, but the physical advantage given by Zoan's ability made him still strong, and at least his condition was much better than that of his opponent.

In order to reduce the damage to the capital town, Oven had been trying his best to control the fighting area in the central square.

Under the influence of his high-temperature baking ability, the surrounding dessert buildings melted into juice, emitting an unpleasant scorched smell.

The entire battlefield became hot and pungent.

Oven also expected the outcome of the battle to be bad. He stared at the opponent and said, "You arrogant bastard, you really have a few tricks up your sleeve!"

He also rarely encountered people who could confront his high-temperature ability head-on. The Haki and combat skills shown by the opponent also gave him a headache.

The two were both senior cadres of the Four Emperors pirate groups. They were originally about the same strength, but a protracted war was obviously more beneficial to L'Aquila.

At this moment, the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards L'Aquila.

L'Aquila, who was also aware of this, still said nothing. She spread her wings, coated them with Armament Haki, soared into the air, and kept hovering over the opponent's head.

"Are you doing this again?" Oven was furious, but he could do nothing about L'Aquila's huge air superiority.

At this time, L'Aquila's Haki-coated wings hovering in the air suddenly waved, and a dozen feathers turned into a dozen black light spots and hit the opponent.

Those were no ordinary feathers. Infused with high-strength Armament Haki and strange power, their lethality was like a dozen sharp blades.

"Heat Fist!"

Oven fired his fists together, and the high-temperature air waves immediately dispersed and roasted dozens of black feathers, but one still scratched his cheek, cutting a deep bloody wound.
