One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 265
New World, Totto Landwaters.
Katakuri was directly sent flying by Vinsmoke in one blow. As he was sent hurtling through the air, Katakuri couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood. “So fast! So strong!”
At this moment, all he could think of were these words. It was the first time he truly understood the vast gap between his strength and that of a top-tier fighter. After sending Katakuri flying, Vinsmoke transformed into a pink-scaled dragon and headed toward the battlefield between Barrett and Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom).
“Roar!” A dragon’s roar resounded through the heavens and the earth. Barrett, Charlotte Linlin, and Carmelina all looked toward Vinsmoke. “We’ve wasted too much time.
Barrett, Dr. Vegapunk’s research facility, has encountered some unexpected guests, and Queen is leading an army of Devil Fruit users and mechanical troops to resist them. You need to go back and support him.”
Barrett glanced at Vinsmoke and then at Charlotte Linlin. “Alright, I’ve had my fun. I’ll leave the rest to you and Jin.” He said that Barrett’s wristband on his left hand flickered, transforming into a deep red suit of armor that he put on. Enormous mechanical wings extended from his back.
“I want to see who dares to cause trouble at our research facility!” Barrett chuckled and, with his wings flapping, disappeared at supersonic speed. Observing Barrett’s sudden departure, the people below became curious. “Why did Barrett leave all of a sudden?” Carmelina asked with curiosity.
After the World Government’s CP agents attacked Punk Hazard, Queen reported the situation to the Rocks Pirates, and Rocks instructed Vinsmoke to inform Barrett personally. The matter at the research facility was of utmost importance to the Rocks Pirates, and no room for mistakes could be allowed.
“Everyone, deal with the enemies here as quickly as possible. For the members of the Charlotte family, capture them if possible, and if that’s not an option, execute them on the spot.”
Just as the people were still puzzled about Barrett’s sudden departure, Vinsmoke’s voice echoed like thunder, reaching everyone present. “Jin, Carmelina, come with me. Let’s put an end to Charlotte Linlin.”
Vinsmoke then transformed into his human-beast form. His entire body was covered in pink dragon scales, and the wolf-tooth clubs in his hands appeared particularly ferocious.
“Ah, I see. Maybe something unexpected happened; that’s why Barrett left.” Erica chuckled and stretched her neck. She then leaped into the air and threw a punch towards Charlotte Linlin, who was still battling to gain control over her body.
“Impact Rocket Punch!”
“Flame Emperor!” Jin swiftly joined Charlotte Linlin, and his flaming fist struck her abdomen fiercely.
“Boom!” Both the shockwave and the fiery punch struck Charlotte Linlin’s midsection, shattering her defenses and causing her to vomit blood. At an incredibly fast speed, she was sent flying.
“Hehe, Linlin, it’s been a long time!” While everyone was still bewildered, a middle-aged man with red hair walked over to Charlotte Linlin’s flying path. His palm emitted a peculiar but terrifying glow.
“Crush!” As Charlotte Linlin approached, Gist slapped her on the back. A horrifying light instantly pierced through Charlotte Linlin’s body and soared into the sky.
“Ah!!!!!!!” A painful scream echoed throughout the Totto Land waters. Countless fragments of her internal organs, mixed with blood, were forcibly expelled from Charlotte Linlin’s body, and she let out a guttural scream.
“Mom!”
“Darn it! Who is that man?”
“Hurry, save Mom!” Just as the surviving members of the Charlotte family were about to rush over to save their mother, the officers of the Rocks Pirates blocked their path.
“Damn it! Get out of the way, you bastards!”
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
“Attack!” The members of the Charlotte family, perhaps genuinely having nothing to lose, fiercely engaged in combat with the Rocks Pirates’ officers. Katakuri, who had been lying on the ground, pale-faced and sullen, suddenly stood up and rushed towards Gist.
“Stay away from my mother!” Gist saw Katakuri charging and released his grip on Charlotte Linlin, kicking her aside. Then he looked at Katakuri with interest.
“Hey, kid, I didn’t expect the little boy from back then to have grown up so much. Time flies, doesn’t it?” Gist grinned, revealing a terrifying smile. He then extended his hand and slapped Katakuri’s shoulder.
“How is that possible?” In shock, Katakuri watched as his face crumbled into dust.
“Alright, wounded soldiers, leave the field.” After saying that, Gist kicked Katakuri away without any resistance.
“Hey, those pirates over there, aren’t you going to put Seastone handcuffs on him?”
“Oh, right! Here they are!” The distracted pirates quickly realized this and pulled out Seastone’s handcuffs to restrain Katakuri.
“Gist…” With severe injuries, Katakuri was being bound by Seastone handcuffs, muttering Gist’s name. The battle between Gist and Katakuri had ended so quickly that many didn’t even know what had happened. They only saw Katakuri, heavily injured and missing an arm, being captured.
“Who is that man? How could he defeat Katakuri so easily!”
“Darn it! Katakuri! How could this happen?”
“No, I don’t want to die. Curse you, Charlotte family. I still want to sail the seas!” The surviving members of the Charlotte family were starting to feel uneasy. Seeing Katakuri, whom they regarded incredibly reliable, be defeated so quickly, even though he was heavily injured, was a shock.
On the Rocks Pirates’ side, they were equally intrigued by Gist’s strength. “That man was brought back by Moria, right? Yet he has such incredible power!”
“As expected, the Rocks Pirates are the strongest!” Erica looked at Gist, who appeared maniacal, with a strange glint in her eye and a smile spread across her face.
“That guy is quite strong, huh? Hey, Vinsmoke, Jin, be careful; he might steal your titles as the Three Supreme Powers.” Vinsmoke replied with a snort, “Stop kidding around, Erica. I don’t think a newcomer like him would stand a chance against us.”
“Enough talk. Let’s finish this war.”
“Understood!”
