One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 253

In a new world above the Totland Sea, several glutinous rice balls appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

“Nine-Headed Year Cake!” Katakuri muttered lowly, and immediately, nine mighty fists, covered in Armament Haki, burst out from the glutinous rice balls, hammering fiercely at the ground where Jin was crouched.

A loud noise filled the air, and the tremendous force directly shattered the entire ship’s deck. The flowing year cakes on the ground tightly enveloped Jin, preventing him from falling through the broken deck.

After a while, the attack stopped, and Katakuri looked at Jin with a severe expression, his eyes flashing with crimson light. In an instant, a fiery spear pierced through Katakuri’s chest.

The scorching flames continued to burn Katakuri’s flowing-year cake on his chest.
In no time, the flames extinguished, and Katakuri’s chest returned to normal. Jin slowly got up from the ground, and the scorching flames instantly evaporated the year cakes clinging to his body.

Seeing Jin completely unharmed and undamaged, Katakuri’s expression grew even more solemn. “Being able to foresee the future with Observation Haki is quite troublesome.” Jin said calmly to Katakuri.

“You’re no different. Under my attacks, you still haven’t suffered any injuries.” Katakuri replied with a calm expression. At the same time, the flowing year cakes on the ground slowly disappeared, returning to their original form as the ship’s deck.

Katakuri had voluntarily deactivated his awakening ability. After all, maintaining the awakened ability for an extended period consumed much energy, especially when facing Jin, who seemed to have no weaknesses.

Jin looked at the restored deck and then at Katakuri. “Are you ready to give up your advantage and fight me in a normal state?” Jin asked flatly while drawing the massive sword from his waist.

“Hmph! For someone like you, losing early due to a lack of stamina would be embarrassing.” Katakuri said coldly and tightly gripped his Trident Tridents, then stomped on the ground, charging directly at Jin, launching a fierce melee battle.

“Boom!” The clash between the longsword and trident produced a tremendous roar, and the powerful shockwave instantly shattered the fragile warship. Countless wooden fragments flew in all directions, killing many innocent pirates who were caught in the crossfire.

Jin and Katakuri’s intense battle quickly separated them from the rest of the battlefield. All the pirates caught in their attacks perished. The violent waves continued to splash around them. The longsword and trident clashed continuously.

Each collision pushed them back a step, and then they would engage in a fierce exchange again. “Slicing Year Cake!” After a collision, one of Katakuri’s arms instantly turned into a massive black wolf-fang club, which he ruthlessly struck against Jin’s body.

The strong impact sent Jin flying backward. Jin coldly glanced at Katakuri, and then the fiery wings on his back flapped stabilizing his position in mid-air. “Fire Dragon Sovereign!” The blazing flames behind Jin ignited, transforming into vicious, roaring dragon beasts.

Under Jin’s command, these dozens of fire dragon beasts roared as they charged toward Katakuri below. Sensing the destruction-laden fire dragons, Katakuri did not take it lightly. The flowing year cakes on his body continuously condensed, and in the blink of an eye, four arms, gleaming with a dark black color, appeared behind Katakuri.

“Flaming Chestnut Year Cake!” Katakuri growled lowly, and six arms rapidly swung.
Under Katakuri’s movements, the six arms generated countless fist shadows, forming an impenetrable wall in front of him.

All the fire dragons were shattered by Katakuri’s fists, turning into flaming fragments.
After dispersing all the fire dragons, one of Katakuri’s arms ignited with scorching flames and struck Jin.

“Grilled Year Cake!” Jin coldly stared at the flaming fist, directly receiving it with his body without dodging or avoiding it.

“Boom!” Dust and smoke billowed, and flames scattered. The powerful shockwave violently rocked the warship below. Katakuri, with a severe expression, watched Jin, who was hidden in the smoke and dust above, feeling somewhat powerless.

Jin’s terrifying defense made it difficult for Katakuri to find a way to attack. “That guy Jin, with his current strength and the observation Haki to briefly foresee the future, can avoid all my attacks. In this war, our Big Mom Pirates are in deep trouble.

Katakuri’s heart finally began to waver slightly. However, in mid-air, Jin, also feeling somewhat helpless, looked at Katakuri. With the ability to foresee the future briefly, Jin could dodge all of Katakuri’s attacks.

In addition to his formidable martial skills and Haki mastery, Jin truly deserved to be called the Charlotte family’s ultimate masterpiece. Facing such an opponent without a higher level of observation or overwhelming strength, it was necessary to deliver a decisive blow.

Unfortunately, Jin lacked both of these. If it weren’t for the defensive power his lineage granted him—stronger than Kaido—he might not be a match for his opponent. Thinking about this, Jin relaxed.

“Our pirate crew still has three true monsters. So, Katakuri, your Big Mom Pirates will lose this time.” Katakuri seemed to hear Jin’s thoughts, and his expression became even more serious and anxious.

“That guy, Jin, what is his weakness after all? There’s no such thing as an undefeatable defense in the world, and even Mom has a fatal weakness.” Katakuri thought, his red eyes growing even more intense, and he rushed toward Jin’s location with a fierce attack.

Jin and Katakuri’s battle attracted the attention of countless onlookers. Daifuku continuously knocked away the pirates who charged at him, occasionally glancing at Katakuri and Jin’s battle.

“That guy, being able to fight Katakuri on equal terms, this time, our Charlotte family might be in danger!” Daifuku felt highly anxious and uneasy. He had never imagined that his family and his pirate crew might one day face defeat.

“Katakuri, you must not lose!” With a low growl in his heart, Daifuku quickly cleared the surrounding pirates and then rushed towards the battlefield of Jin and Katakuri, ready to assist Katakuri in defeating Jin.

“Hey, where do you think you’re going?” Just as Daifuku was about to help, a lazy voice sounded in his ear, followed by a fierce wolf-fang club aimed at his face with overwhelming force.

“What!!!”

“Boom!” A thunderous explosion resounded as Daifuku was sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth, teeth scattered, and his eyes rolled back as he was blown away.

A single strike sent Daifuku flying, and Vista placed the wolf-fang club on his shoulder. “In a one-on-one fight between men, you shouldn’t interfere easily. Stay put on the sidelines.”
