Kronos smiled and said, "Let's go see Katakuri first. I'd like to know how those guys are complaining about me now."
Albedo sneered coldly and said, "If I find out they dared to speak ill of you, I'll tear them apart without hesitation."
At this moment—
Katakuri and the other Charlotte family members sat in the dungeon, all with grim, defeated expressions.
This loss could only be described as a crushing, humiliating defeat.
"How could things end up like this?!"
"Damn it! If I ever get another chance, I'll never let them go!"
"Are we really doomed to rot in here for the rest of our lives? I can't accept this!"
The Charlotte family was filled with despair. They had never imagined things would turn out this way.
If they had known earlier, they might not have obeyed Big Mom's command to follow her orders.
But now, it was far too late for regrets—these people were destined for a miserable end.
The saddest of them all, however, was Katakuri himself.
He crouched silently in the corner, his body wrapped in bandages.
Having fought against two top-level powerhouses one after another, even Katakuri's extraordinary endurance couldn't allow him to emerge unscathed.
The fact that he was still alive at all was already remarkable.
"I didn't expect… that I'd end up like this too."
Katakuri sighed bitterly.
He had once been expected by many to succeed Charlotte Linlin as the new Yonko.
Even Big Mom herself had believed his future was destined for greatness.
And yet—before that time even came, he had fallen to this point.
Would he ever have another chance to prove himself? Or would he remain trapped here until the end?
Suddenly—
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the dungeon. The Charlotte family members stiffened, their eyes turning toward the source of the sound.
Then, the man they hated most—the one they were all too familiar with—appeared before them.
"Yo, long time no see, Katakuri!"
Kronos waved casually, wearing a bright, almost friendly smile.
In that moment, he looked less like their enemy and more like a man greeting old friends.
Katakuri and the others instantly boiled with rage.
Their anger flared like fire.
What was this supposed to mean? Was Kronos mocking them?
"Kronos, don't get too arrogant! Sooner or later, Mama will lead the army here and crush you!"
"Our Charlotte family—"
Before Charlotte Oven could finish, a figure beside Kronos suddenly darted forward. With a devastating punch, he struck Oven in the chest like a cannonball.
Boom!
Blood sprayed from Oven's mouth as his body slammed into the wall.
He collapsed instantly, unconscious.
"Rude fool!"
"How dare you speak so boldly in front of the captain? Do you really think I don't exist?"
Albedo frowned, her expression dark and menacing.
At that moment, the Charlotte family's anger evaporated, replaced by fear.
They looked at Albedo one by one, as if staring at a living demon.
