Be My Son

"Guurarara~"

"The old hag Linlin has her eyes on Fishman Island. You're not ready for it yet!" Whitebeard swiftly raised his Naginata, pointing it directly at Katakuri. As his words resonated, a majestic wave of Conqueror's Haki surged into the sky, enveloping the surroundings. The aura spread, shrouding most of Fishman Island.

Katakuri, with a fierce expression, narrowed his eyes to needle-like points. The overwhelming momentum left him frozen in place, unable to move his hands or feet. A single thought consumed his mind – stay completely still. Any move could lead to his demise at the hands of Whitebeard. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as his breathing grew tense. His body froze in place, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

In that moment, Whitebeard swung his Naginata. A tremendous wave of oppressive force erupted, crashing into Katakuri.

Zhhing!

A piercing light flashed, carrying astonishing power within it. "Holy shit!" Katakuri's eyes widened. Summoning all his strength, he tried to avoid the strike. However, Whitebeard's Naginata seemed to encompass the entire area, leaving him with no safe haven to escape the impending blow.

In a crucial moment, Katakuri let out a furious roar. He transformed his arm into Mochi, wrapping it around the trident in his hand and spinning it rapidly.

"Mochi Tsukii!"

A resounding roar echoed through the air as a powerful strike unleashed with all his might. The two attacks collided in mid-air, causing a surge of turbulent energy to ripple outwards.

BOOM!

A loud sound echoed, and the entire Fishman Island trembled. A powerful hurricane swept through, tossing all the crew on Katakuri's ship into the air. Marco and the others quickly raised their arms to shield themselves.

Once the hurricane subsided, they looked ahead and saw a figure flying through the air like a cannonball, crashing into the large ship behind and creating a massive hole in its hull.

Boom!

Debris scattered, and dust filled the air. People witnessed clearly who was launched into the air – none other than Charlotte Katakuri. His once composed demeanor had transformed into a hideous sight, with a ghastly scar on his body, blood flowing, and his clothes in tatters.

"Arghh!"

He knelt on the ground, his face reddened as he coughed uncontrollably. His body trembled, nearly collapsing to the ground, having confronted Whitebeard's powerful strike head-on.

The aftermath of Whitebeard's powerful blow left even the formidable Katakuri, the leader of Big Mom's three Sweet Commanders, on the brink of defeat. Luffy, witnessing this display of overwhelming strength, stood in stunned disbelief. Despite knowing Katakuri's identity and his impressive bounty of 1 billion berries, the reality of him being overwhelmed by a single direct blow from Whitebeard was shocking.

Crocodile, recognizing the terrifying strength of Whitebeard, acknowledged that he, too, might have fared worse than Katakuri in such a confrontation. Marco, with a wry smile, emphasized the vast difference in strength between them and the old man, highlighting the sheer power of the world's strongest man.

Katakuri's gaze at Whitebeard revealed a mix of awe and disbelief. This setback was unprecedented in his life, having offered no resistance throughout the battle and nearly facing defeat with a single slash from Whitebeard's Naginata. The magnitude of Whitebeard's strength deeply shook Katakuri, but he was a man of countless battles and refused to succumb to the pain coursing through his body.

Despite the grave injury, Katakuri mustered the strength to stand up, gasping for breath and raising his trident with a trembling arm. His determination to continue the fight spoke volumes about his character. Ace acknowledged Katakuri's resilience, recognizing the leader of the three Sweet Commanders as a truly determined and strong individual.

Marco, surprised by Katakuri's unwavering resolve, noted that despite the clear difference in abilities, Katakuri showed no signs of backing down. The determination to continue the attack, even after such a severe injury, impressed Marco.

"Guurarara~ What a reckless and stubborn kid!" Whitebeard exclaimed, acknowledging Katakuri's tenacity. The battle continued, each moment revealing the resilience and determination of these powerful individuals in the face of overwhelming odds.

Whitebeard laughed, his eyes brimming with admiration.

Katakuri gasped for air, blood trickling from his wounds, making his head dizzy. Nevertheless, he clung on and retorted, "Whitebeard, the battle is far from over!"

With those words, he swiftly pressed forward once more. He tapped into the full potential of his Observation Haki. It appeared that he intended to utilize Haki to foresee the future and anticipate Whitebeard's every move.

However, it proved useless! Seeing the future proved beneficial only for weak enemies; to powerful enemies, it held no use. Each move carried an overwhelming force, rendering Katakuri unable to evade Whitebeard's attacks, even if he could foresee them.

BOOM!

Whitebeard swung his fist. A devastating vibration erupted, sweeping through like a raging wave. Just as Katakuri was about to get close to Whitebeard, he was struck by the shockwave and sent flying backward. The so-called seeing through the future—it was utterly useless at this moment!

Boom!

With his already grievous injuries, Katakuri could no longer endure, his body collapsing heavily onto the ground.

And this time, he landed on his back!

In other words, Whitebeard shattered Katakuri's vow to never be knocked down on his back!

At this moment, Whitebeard walked over. The tall figure's shadow enveloped Katakuri, as Whitebeard gazed upon the still-struggling warrior and burst into laughter.

"Guurarara~"

"Do you still want to stand up?"

Katakuri ignored it and continued to struggle to get up. However, the severity of his injuries hindered his progress, causing him to crawl only halfway before collapsing to the ground once more.

"Katakuri, it would be a shame to see you die now. If you seek more challenges, carry my name and sail these seas to your heart's content!"

While speaking, Whitebeard extended his hand and gently put a smile on his face: "So be my son!"
