"Crash!!", "Boom!!"
Fierce clashes continuously occurred on Cotton Candy Island, and the sea surface surged endlessly.
Facing Ichiji, who was now going all out and even directly using his Vampire Form's ability to quickly end this battle, even with his exaggerated Observation Haki that could foresee the near future, Katakuri still only had the strength to barely parry.
He could indeed, after breaking free from the darkness's entanglement, use his Devil Fruit ability to directly create a tight Mochi Armor to cover himself, and apply Haki to it, so he could directly use his Devil Fruit ability on the dark-shrouded ground.
However, every time he clashed with Ichiji, the sticky substance he released would be directly eroded by the darkness, and his ability would become ineffective in the blink of an eye.
The strongest Sweet Commander of the BIG MOM Pirates was indeed astonishingly strong. Despite being drenched in blood from Ichiji's attacks, and even constantly having his life force drained, he gradually aged and his strength was continuously weakened, but he still desperately resisted.
However, as time passed, this battle, whose outcome was predetermined from the start, finally concluded!
"Thump!"
Katakuri, who had aged beyond recognition and was covered in blood, having already lost consciousness, was thrown onto the ground.
Endless darkness, shrinking back at a speed visible to the naked eye. The beautiful cotton candy structures that had originally adorned the island had disappeared by a little over half, leaving a scene of devastation everywhere.
"Lord Katakuri has been defeated..."
"Even the strongest Sweet Commander is not his opponent? This monster from Germa 66..."
"And he can even drain the target's life force, just like Mama's ability! BON!"
Seeing Katakuri, who was barely breathing, thrown aside, Baron Tamago and the others all turned pale with shock, and at the same time, felt extreme dread towards Ichiji's ability. Not only could it nullify an ability user's power,
but it could even drain the target's life force through contact, which was truly terrifying. Even though Sweet Commander Katakuri counterattacked and resisted desperately, that monster from Germa 66 remained completely unharmed so far, simply unbelievable!
"Your Excellency Ichiji, Lord Katakuri, he..."
Baron Tamago and Pekoms bravely stepped forward.
Looking at Katakuri, with his body full of wrinkles, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Katakuri was undoubtedly the second strongest fighter in the BIG MOM Pirates, and his loss was absolutely unacceptable.
If these executives watched helplessly as Katakuri lost too much blood or directly aged to death, then BIG MOM herself would probably want to flay them alive.
"He's not dead yet. Treat his wounds..." Ichiji, sitting on a large rock, glanced indifferently at the anxious Baron Tamago and others.
"Quick, immediately bandage Lord Katakuri!"
Several executives hurriedly called the ship doctor to bandage Katakuri, who had shocking bloodstains all over his body and was still bleeding slowly from his wounds.
"Your Excellency Ichiji, Mama herself is personally coming. At 'Zeus' speed, it shouldn't take too long. Please be patient and wait..." Taking a deep breath, Baron Tamago pointed at Katakuri, who was currently receiving emergency treatment from the ship doctor.
His originally black short hair had turned gray, and his skin was withered and old, looking somewhat frightening. He swallowed hard: "It's just, Lord Katakuri, can his lifespan still...?"
If Katakuri's lifespan couldn't be restored, then the trouble would be immense. After all, having lost most of his life force, with his bodily functions aged and his strength greatly diminished,
Katakuri's combat power had dropped astonishingly. He would probably barely be able to defeat Sweet Commander Snack, and it would be hard to say if he could live for a few more years.
He believed that Vinsmoke Ichiji dared to do this, he absolutely wouldn't genuinely want to engage in a never-ending vendetta with the BIG MOM Pirates. Katakuri's drained life force should still be able to be restored.
"No need to worry..."
Ichiji sat there, calmly saying, "When BIG MOM arrives, I will return 'youth' to him."
"That's good!"
Baron Tamago and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. But they also held this leader of Germa in the highest respect. The terrifying strength he displayed had undoubtedly surpassed the level of a Sweet Commander. Even if he couldn't be compared to a "Four Emperor," he was certainly not far off.
Thinking of Vinsmoke Ichiji's age, which was inconsistent with his strength, they couldn't help but feel a chill. He was already this strong now; to what extent would he be strong in a few more years?
"Cough cough..."
Not long after, Katakuri, whose wounds had been bandaged, woke up.
"Damn it!!!"
Perceiving his current state, he almost went crazy. But the voice he made was old and unrecognizable, like that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man, making one's heart tremble.
"Lord Katakuri, please calm down!"
"That guy said that your drained life force can be returned!"
If Pekoms and the others hadn't pulled him back in time, he would probably have directly rushed forward to fight Ichiji to the death. After all, it's hard for anyone to accept directly transforming from their prime into an old, dilapidated appearance.
"You fellow, what exactly do you want to see Mama for?" Enduring the sharp pain coming from his body, Katakuri, with his aged body, moved forward. He glared at Ichiji, gritting his teeth, and asked.
He had to admit that this monster from Germa 66 was indeed astonishingly strong. But he wouldn't have specifically come over just to be an enemy with them.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, his respect for Germa's abilities reached its peak. The injuries on his body were not very serious; he could recover after some rest. Compared to that, if he couldn't recover his youth, he would probably directly collapse.
"Germa's brat!!! Katakuri!!"
At this moment, accompanied by an oppressive feeling that made one's heart tremble, a loud roar came from afar on the sea, carrying unspeakable fury.
A thundercloud appeared on the horizon. A plump figure sat on it, and above its head was a blazing, living fireball.
