Chapter 125: Borsalino Arrives

The ground writhed as if an invisible hand were kneading mochi strips.

*Click-clack, he created a huge pile, and the mochi strips were coated with a faint layer of black substance, showing just how strong Katakuri's mastery of Armament Haki was.

"Impressive!"

Karl's figure flickered constantly, relying on Observation Haki and speed to dodge Katakuri's attacks, but unfortunately, there were too many, and he was accidentally whipped once.

"Hiss~"

"Hmph! Looks Move Move Like your strength isn't much after all!"

Karl quickly regained his composure, condensed a ball of white holy light, and merged it into his body. The minor injury he had just sustained healed immediately.

"This is..."

The moment Katakuri saw Karl condense the holy light, a thunderclap rang in his mind. This power that could heal—wasn't it the same power he had felt earlier?

Not only could it heal, but it could also strengthen one's physique!

"It's you! Why were you helping us?"

Karl spread his hands helplessly: "My mission was to ensure the Red Hair Pirates weren't defeated by you, so they had to lose a few people to ignite their fighting spirit, didn't they?"

"Besides, I didn't help for free. Didn't I just kill a few of your brothers and sisters to settle the debt? So, no need to thank me."

*Giggle giggle~*

Katakuri clenched his fists, his arms trembling slightly, showing just how angry he was at this moment.

This Marine was simply, simply too despicable. Is this the justice of the Marines?

"Power Mochi!!!"

Mochi emerged from the ground, forming donut shapes—there were at least a dozen of them. Katakuri then manipulated the giant arms extending from the donuts, reinforced with mochi and Armament Haki, to attack Karl by swinging his own fists.

It was extremely similar to Luffy's Gear Fourth moves, and every punch was coated with Armament Haki.

Karl didn't speak, calming his mind. While perfectly dodging the arm thrusts, he quickly approached Katakuri.

"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!"

For Karl, who had Level 4 swordsmanship, this move wasn't too difficult. The only requirement was that his physique had to meet the standard. After the enhancement, Karl could easily use this move, though *Ikoku* would consume a massive amount of stamina.

"Giant's secret technique! How did you... Pfft!!!"

The massive golden flying slash severed several mochi fists while cutting straight into Katakuri's body, instantly inflicting heavy damage.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but he simply couldn't. Otherwise, Karl wouldn't have used this move at such close range.

The invincible Katakuri fell. Blood gushed from his chest. He struggled to stand up, but eventually passed out.

He had been in a high-intensity battle with Beckman earlier, so his stamina wasn't abundant to begin with, not to mention he had used his Fruit Awakening. He was exhausted now.

"Brother Katakuri!!!" "Brother, are you okay!"

"Don't come over! If you want to hurt Brother Katakuri, you'll have to get past me first!"

Karl twirled his blade and tossed Raven into the sky, saying faintly: "Now, can you stop?"

"How scary~ You actually defeated the strongest of the Big Mom Pirates' Sweet Commanders. Looks Move Move Like I arrived a bit early!"

Borsalino appeared behind Karl without warning, shaking his head as he looked at Katakuri, looking quite regretful.

"Ki, Kizaru, he really came!" "Damn, the Marines had planned to target us all along!"

Karl pointed at Shanks and Big Mom, who were still fighting, with annoyance: "I'll leave that side to you, I can't handle it."

"Sigh~ We're all Marines, why be so distant? Come with me!"

"Fine!"

Just Move Move Like that, Karl and Borsalino walked swaggeringly toward the other side. The Charlotte children didn't dare to block them.

There was no helping it; an Admiral is an Admiral, and they didn't dare to provoke one lightly.

"Ooh, they're fighting really intensely! That kid Shanks is quite tenacious."

Karl expressed a dissenting opinion: "Shanks is strong, but his talent is definitely not as good as Big Mom's. This woman keeps having kids every year and still has this level of combat power—she's a real monster!"

Borsalino was stunned, looking at Karl in surprise. What kind of novel perspective is this?

But after thinking about it for a moment, he had to agree with what Karl said: "That's right, this woman is indeed a monster. Alright, it's time for me to act."

"Yasakani no Magatama!!!"

Borsalino raised his fingers and pouted, shooting out countless light bullets, plastering Big Mom and producing a series of explosions.

"Kizaru, what do you want!!!"

Big Mom glared at Kizaru with uncontrollable rage, making no effort to hide the killing intent in her heart.

"*Kowai ne*, you woman are as fierce as ever!"

Big Mom raised her hand and unleashed two *Ikoku* sword auras. Kizaru flickered, dodged the sword aura, and brushed the dust off his body.

"Hey hey~ don't be so excited! I'm not here to fight you."

Big Mom glanced at the panting Shanks and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Then get lost! I don't need you Marines to interfere in my business!!!"

Kizaru immediately started "exchanging words" with Big Mom, one sentence after another.

Seeing this, Shanks glanced at Borsalino and Karl, then slipped away quietly, determined never to look back.

"In any case! The Marines will never sit by and watch the Red Hair Pirates join the Big Mom Pirates!"

"Damn it, I said it, I do whatever I want, I don't need you Marines to interfere!!!"

"You all go to hell!!!"

"Miko-ken!"

This was a combination technique of lightning, flame, and sword. Energy rings gathered on the blade, and swinging the sword would unleash a terrifying flying slash.

Kizaru scratched his head in annoyance, instantly turning into light particles and leaving the spot, dodging Big Mom's attack and leaving Karl behind.

Karl:??? I haven't gotten on the ride yet!!!

There was no choice; Karl could only dodge for his life. His small frame couldn't handle an attack of this magnitude.

"Shanks has already escaped, I'll cover you, you go first!"

Karl nodded vigorously. Raven quickly grew larger and crouched on the ground. Karl stepped on it and shouted: "Go! Fly as hard as you can!"

"*Caw caw caw!!! "

Raven flapped its wings for dear life, flying over 50 meters away in the blink of an eye, quickly leaving Big Mom's attack range.

After seeing Karl leave, Borsalino began to harass Big Mom with peace of mind.

Eh! Come and hit me! I'm running away!

Eh! Come again! I'm running away again!

Can't hit me, can't hit me, tell me, are you angry?

Don't know if Big Mom was angry, but Borsalino was quite happy. Later, feeling it was boring, he just flashed away, and Big Mom couldn't even catch his exhaust fumes.

After working for half a day and getting nothing, could Big Mom not be angry?

"Damn Kizaru, one day, I will make you pay the price!!!"
