One Piece : Glory To The Fleet Admiral

"All hands, prepare!"

"Brother Katakuri!"

As they watched the figures following the young Fleet Admiral charging toward the port, the members of the Charlotte family felt an overwhelming sense of suffocating pressure.

The powerful Sweet Commanders and core family members held their breath, while the weaker ones turned their eyes to Katakuri.

At that moment, several members of the Charlotte family who were not Devil Fruit users pulled Charlotte Linlin out of the sea.

Seeing this, Katakuri breathed a silent sigh of relief, then fixed his intense gaze on the approaching Marine forces, who were radiating an overwhelming battle intent.

Without hesitation, he declared.

"Prepare for battle!"

Before the words could fade, Katakuri swiftly darted out, landing alone on the icy surface once more, determined to single-handedly hold off the Marines and buy time for Charlotte Linlin to recover.

"Hum—"

The moment Katakuri touched the ice, a disorienting low-frequency vibration surged forth.

In the next instant, an overwhelming wave of Conqueror's Haki crashed toward him like a raging tsunami, akin to a towering mountain pressing down, nearly forcing Katakuri to his knees.

"Damn it!"

The sudden onslaught of Conqueror's Haki shook Katakuri to his core.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki to counter it, while struggling to lift his gaze forward.

In his line of sight, Orion with one hand resting on his sword, continued to stride forward.

With each step Orion took, a wave of solidified Conqueror's Haki was released, forming golden ripples that spread out irresistibly.

Seeing that Orion Conqueror's Haki was no longer the black-and-red flame-like aura from before but instead a dazzling golden radiance, Katakuri heart was struck by a tidal wave of disbelief.

He silently exclaimed in his mind.

'How is this possible!'

As a fellow possessor of Conqueror's Haki, he knew well that many strong individuals awakened different manifestations of this power.

Some released black-and-red or pale flame-like auras, while others displayed no visible flames, only a palpable pressure.

However, never before had he seen anyone capable of freely switching their Conqueror's Haki, especially not someone like Orion, who had just moments ago released a black-and-red aura and now was emanating golden ripples.

"Katakuri, don't waste your energy!"

Just as Katakuri was reeling from the shock, Orion voice suddenly rang out.

"Even if you manage to buy time for Charlotte Linlin to recover, it will only lead to the downfall of Whole Cake Island!"

"Hum—"

The familiar low-frequency vibration echoed once more.

In the next instant, the golden ripples released by Orion converged above Katakuri head, the overwhelming pressure of Conqueror's Haki seemingly locking him in place, forming a gravitational field directly above him.

Immediately, Katakuri felt as though the air around him had stopped flowing.

With each step Orion took, the gravitational force above him intensified, rendering him unable to move forward.

What shocked him the most was that, as Orion footsteps continued to echo in his ears, not only was he unable to act, but even his Devil Fruit abilities seemed suppressed, making it impossible to unleash them.

Before Katakuri could recover from his astonishment, another wave of golden ripples flashed past his head as Orion strode forward.

***

At the same time.

At the port of Whole Cake Island, the members of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom allied forces, who had been preparing to engage after Katakuri charge, had barely assumed their battle stances when the golden ripples swept over the island at an imperceptible speed, enveloping the entire island in an instant.

In the next moment.

The tens of thousands of people at the port felt as though they had been rooted to the spot, their eyes widening before they collapsed one by one.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Big Mom Pirates' allied forces fell to the ground.

Even formidable figures like the Sweet Commanders Smoothie and Cracker had their pupils constrict the moment the golden ripples swept over them, instinctively preparing to charge forward.

However, when they exerted all their strength to resist the overwhelming invisible pressure and tried to break free, it was already too late.

Despite their immense power, which kept them from being knocked unconscious by the Conqueror's Haki, they lost control of their bodies, much like Katakuri, who had leaped onto the icy surface.

"Dammit, what the hell is going on?" Galette eyes widened in alarm as she struggled under the immense pressure, urgently calling out.

"Smoothie, do something!"

Thud—

Thud—

As soon as Galette finished speaking, members of the Charlotte family began collapsing one after another, unable to hold on any longer.

"Galette, I... I can't hold on anymore!"

As figures continued to fall in the crowd, a young girl behind Charlotte Galette let out her final cry before collapsing completely, her eyes wide open, her fate uncertain.

Before Galette could react, Charlotte Pudding and Charlotte Flampe, who had earlier run to the front of the crowd from the family ranks, also silently crumpled to the ground.

Amidst the continuous sounds of bodies hitting the ground, except for Charlotte Smoothie and a dozen core combat members of the family like Perospero who were still struggling to hold on, not a single person among the tens of thousands at the port of Whole Cake Island remained standing.

Smoothie had not spoken a word from beginning to end.

Holding her long sword, she supported herself against the overwhelming invisible pressure.

The constant collapse of her family members behind her did not cause much emotional fluctuation.

It wasn't that she lacked affection for her family members, but the scene had unfolded too suddenly.

Before she could react, she was already suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki that enveloped her, rendering her unable to make any further moves.

However, she did not give up.

Gripping the hilt of her sword tightly, she stared intently at the figure striding across the ice.

Although the Conqueror's Haki released by Orion was absurdly strong, she didn't believe he could maintain this state indefinitely.

As long as she gritted her teeth and endured this wave of Conqueror's Haki, she could counterattack at the first opportunity.

On the ice, Orion leading a group of Marine Admirals and Vice Admirals, continued to stride forward walking past Katakuri, who was suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki.

"ORION!"

Seeing that Orion hadn't even glanced at him from start to finish, Katakuri, gripping his trident under immense pressure, suddenly stood up.

"Am I not even worthy of making you stop? Don't look down on me!"

Before his words faded, Katakuri took a fierce step forward.

The Conqueror's Haki, which had been completely suppressed by Orion, broke free from its shackles and instantly surged across a hundred meters, enveloping Orion and the group of Marine Admirals who had just walked past him.

In the next second, his figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was standing in front of Orion, trident in hand.

However, the moment his figure appeared, another figure suddenly loomed infinitely large in his pupils—it was Admiral Gion, wielding her golden sword Konpira, charging forward with ferocity.

"Make the Fleet Admiral stop?"

"You're not worthy, Katakuri!"
