He sipped a glass of locally brewed citrus wine, nibbling on various sweet treats made from malt sugar—a regional delicacy, apparently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far from town, Charlotte Katakuri stood alone on the edge of the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Big Mom hadn't arrived yet, Kyūjō wasn't about to let Katakuri go. But he also wasn't forcing him to stay nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Katakuri couldn't fly, and the entirety of Malt Island remained under Kyūjō's absolute observation through his Infinity Perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Katakuri tried to run, Kyūjō could catch him before he took three steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first few bites of the snacks were enjoyable… but after a while, the sweetness turned overwhelming—almost painfully so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does a woman like Big Mom enjoy something this sugary…?\" Kyūjō mused. He genuinely couldn't understand. Her body was hard as steel—could she still even be called human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, once the other patrons had trickled out of the tavern, Kyūjō sensed something through his perception—faint, but unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive ship was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Big Mom Pirates had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a wad of Berries from his pocket and tossed them onto the counter without counting. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished from the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Katakuri, still standing by the shore, suddenly heard a soft voice whisper in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mother's here.

Her cravings could spiral into a berserker frenzy—losing all reason, she would become a walking natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why her ever-loyal firstborn son, the Candy Minister Perospero, had prepared enough treats to keep her satisfied until she reached the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all… they needed her at her best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To rescue Katakuri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRAAAAK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent crack of thunder ripped through the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Big Mom didn't flinch—still munching away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Perospero glanced up, unease creeping across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From high above the clouds, a monstrous slash wrapped in lightning—stretching thousands of meters—descended like the wrath of a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine judgment aimed straight for their ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perospero opened his mouth to scream—but he was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Mom had already sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes darkened with fury, and with a sharp growl, she launched herself into the air, abandoning her meal in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hated being interrupted while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one fierce shout, she ripped the pirate hat off her head and bellowed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Napoleon!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her command, the hat morphed into a massive double-edged sword—her living weapon, Napoleon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the hilt in both hands, she infused the blade with Busoshoku Haki, black lightning crackling up the edges.
