On Sweet Island, after the six unleashed their earth-shaking battle, the port area spanning hundreds of meters was reduced to shattered ruins within mere moments!
Fortunately, in recent times, Sweet Island—along with Cake Island, Candy Island, and others—had seen very few ordinary residents aside from some servants and attendants.
Cake Island still had a relatively larger population, as most of the Beast God Pirates' members resided there, aside from those scattered across Totto Land's 87 islands.
On Sweet Island, only a dozen or so restaurants and taverns remained operational, all run by the Beast God Pirates themselves—merely for the convenience of Caesar and other high-ranking officers.
The Beast God Pirates were already battle-hardened veterans.
The moment the fight erupted, the island's designated personnel swiftly evacuated everyone from another direction!
Just the sound alone was enough to convey the sheer intensity of the battle.
Thus, no reckless pirates dared to join the fray.
The Beast God Pirates' regulations also had strict clauses: different levels of combat required corresponding levels of strength.
Those who lacked the necessary power were forbidden from reckless participation!
If they acted recklessly and died, so be it.
But if they somehow survived, they would face severe punishment from the disciplinary squad!
The reason for such strict rules is precisely because, in this world, top-tier powerhouses can single-handedly crush a hundred thousand weaklings!
A single peak-level Conqueror's Haki shockwave is enough to overwhelm any low-level combatant who lacks sufficient strength!
"Awakened Devil Fruit? What a troublesome ability!"
Golden Axe frowned as he felt his feet being stuck to the ground, which had turned sticky and malleable under Katakuri's power.
Within a radius of several hundred meters, the entire battlefield had transformed into Katakuri's mochi domain!
Giant, spike-covered donuts, appearing endlessly, rumbled with explosive force as they surged forward one after another, relentlessly crashing toward the three approaching Katakuri and Yamato!
"Get out of my way!! More-More Hundredfold Fist!!"
World, battered by the endless barrage of fists and donuts, was already at the peak of fury and bloodlust, his rage nearly bursting from his chest!
His eyes bloodshot, he threw a punch, shattering dozens of massive mochi fists that coiled like pythons, along with countless donuts, all reduced to fragments by the sheer force of his strike!
The sheer terror of this punch was almost half as powerful as the combined "Hakai" attack Katakuri and Yamato had unleashed earlier!
This was the power of the More-More Fruit—as long as the user possessed sufficient strength, they could amplify their own power anywhere from one to a hundred times!
Moreover, external objects could also be enhanced by the More-More Fruit's ability—bullets, cannonballs, even certain parts of the body…
In truth, even if World were only half as strong as Kaido, he could still sweep through the New World and become a true "World Destroyer."
Unfortunately, even after amplifying his strength a hundredfold, he barely reached Admiral-level power.
Seizing the moment World blasted through the endless mochi donuts blocking their path, the massive, crab-like brute Otto finally made his move.
"ROAR!!"
With a furious bellow, Otto's head rapidly morphed into the terrifying visage of a crocodile, his body covered in thick, armored scales, his hands transforming into massive, razor-sharp claws, and his legs swelling with bulging muscles.
He stomped the ground—in that instant, the entire Sweet Island trembled, and the mochi-covered earth within several hundred meters exploded under the force of his power!
Otto, resembling a squat, almost comically stubby-legged tyrannosaurus, ignored the barrage of Armament Haki-infused mochi fists.
With his gaping crocodile maw and massive scaled claws, he charged forward like a heavy tank, smashing through countless fists before delivering a devastating punch straight at Katakuri!
With Yamato still beside him, Katakuri couldn't easily dodge—he had no choice but to meet Otto's clawed fist with his own!
CRACK!!
The next moment, Katakuri's expression twisted in shock—Otto's punch carried an overwhelming, unstoppable force!
His right arm nearly buckled under the pressure, bones creaking dangerously, on the verge of shattering!
Otto was a user of the Zoan-type Crocodile Fruit!
A top-tier powerhouse who had mastered the awakened power of a Zoan, his physical strength was already frighteningly close to Kaido's!
Undoubtedly one of the pinnacle titans of raw physical power, his every strike embodied pure, unrelenting brutality!
The massive scaled fist, wreathed in thick Armament Haki and formidable Conqueror's Haki, forced Katakuri back over a dozen steps like a heavy bulldozer, pulverizing the ground into dust that was then sent flying by the powerful shockwaves, shrouding the entire island in a gray haze.
"Golden Storm!!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Golden Axe erupted into action.
Though wielding a golden short axe less than a meter long, he unleashed dozens of hundred-meter-long golden shockwaves in rapid succession, driving Yamato back relentlessly.
Several bone-deep wounds were carved into her body!
"More-More 50x Speed! Shave!"
With a cold glare, World vanished from sight.
In the next moment, before Yamato could react, a vicious grin twisted his lips as his fist, coated in Armament Haki, slammed squarely into her ample chest with brutal force.
"Guh!"
Yamato's intended swing with her club was interrupted by this sudden blow.
Her towering chest caved inward, ribs cracking audibly as she vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments—a gruesome sight.
Golden Axe approached with aristocratic grace, twirling his golden short axe effortlessly before delivering a ruthless vertical slash toward Yamato's body.
"Dear niece, your father and I were once comrades, heh. Back then, I was a captain-level fighter while your dad Kaido was just a mere combatant—a rookie. If it weren't for that... demon Caesar always getting in my way, I'd have split his skull with this axe long ago!"
Yamato roared through gritted teeth, swinging Tsuchigumo to force World back, her face etched with unmistakable scorn.
"Kill my father? Are you joking?! My father is... the 'Dragon God' Kaido of the Beast God Pirates!!"
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Blood vessels burst across Yamato's arms as her eyes turned bloodshot.
Crimson Conqueror's lightning erupted from Tsuchigumo, tearing through the void and shaking the atmosphere as it crashed toward Golden Axe's golden battle-axe with a thunderous roar.
The clash between kanabo and axe produced an ear-splitting metallic screech, forcing World to grit his teeth and spit blood.
Though his Devil Fruit Ability was formidable, his physical strength was merely average—his Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's Haki all mediocre at best.
Without the hundredfold amplification from the More-More Fruit, World wouldn't stand a chance!
"Dragon God? War God? Caesar loves his useless gimmicks! Even if he showed up now, I'd chop him dead with this golden axe!"
Yamato's injuries were severe.
Fighting both Golden Axe and Worldsimultaneously had pushed her to her limit.
With one final slash, Golden Axe tore through space itself, sending Yamato flying hundreds of meters as she smashed through buildings in a storm of dust and debris.
