Kronos didn't care about the other members of the Charlotte Family, but he was very interested in Katakuri.
Katakuri—the second-in-command of the Charlotte Family.
Some say...
He's just one step away from being the head of the family.
There are even rumors that, if Charlotte Linlin were to die one day, Katakuri would rise to power almost instantly and become the new head of the Charlotte Family.
These rumors had been around for a long time, and when the Charlotte Family heard about them, they didn't deny it. Instead, their silence seemed like a tacit confirmation.
In other words, if Katakuri could be captured in this battle, it would greatly benefit Kronos' future plans.
All along...
Kronos had seen Charlotte Linlin as a true threat.
Not just Linlin herself—
But the massive family behind her.
They were like thorns in his side.
They had to be removed!
Although he didn't know exactly why the Charlotte Family had appeared in this area, Kronos could easily guess their intentions weren't good.
The most likely reason?
They came to take advantage of the chaos, to fish in troubled waters.
One thing was certain: they hadn't come to discuss cooperation with the Kamui Pirates.
And since he knew their intentions were hostile, Kronos felt no need to show mercy.
After all, they weren't friends.
Meanwhile...
The Charlotte Family's ships began turning around.
Their engines roared as they sped up.
Like a herd of frightened wild horses, they tried to escape from the area as fast as possible.
"Faster! Hurry up!"
"If we don't move now, it'll be too late!"
The Charlotte family members were in complete panic.
No one wanted to stay here a second longer.
Even a single moment felt like too much.
Their fear was clear.
They were terrified they'd be trapped in this place forever, unable to escape.
The fact that the Charlotte Family—themselves one of the Four Emperor crews—could be frightened like this...
Was proof enough of just how terrifying the Kamui Pirates were.
Suddenly...
Without anyone knowing when it happened—
A cold figure appeared silently on one of the fleeing pirate ships.
"Hello, everyone."
"You're in such a rush. Where are you planning to go?"
The man had white hair, wore a blindfold, and smiled casually.
Everyone froze.
Who was this white-haired man?
When had he appeared on their ship?
Why hadn't anyone noticed?
Which meant...
If this man had wanted to kill them, they would have been powerless.
He could've taken their lives without them even realizing it.
It was clear from his presence that he wasn't some random weakling.
He was a terrifying powerhouse.
Suddenly—
A clan member recognized him, his voice trembling in fear.
"I remember now!"
"He's one of the Kamui Pirates... Gojo Satoru!"
Gojo Satoru had joined the Kamui Pirates long ago.
He'd already made his name known before the Summit War even began.
By now, he was one of the most infamous powerhouses across the seas.
So much so that the moment the Charlotte Family's crew realized it was Gojo Satoru, sheer panic swept through them.
A chill ran down their spines.
If it had been just some random intruder, they would've charged forward without hesitation.
But facing Gojo Satoru?
Not one of them dared to move.
Because they knew—
This wasn't someone they could mess with.
