Yamato, as Kaido's daughter, possesses extraordinary talent just like Katakuri.
Born with the Conqueror's Haki, she trained under the strongest in the world.
Her temperament, talent and diligence are all top-tier.
Now, these cousins are working together for the first time and their attacks actually display a hint of synergy.
Their strikes subtly amplify each other and the Conqueror's Haki Infusion lightning in the sky grows denser, forming what seems like a prison of thunder.
BOOM!!
The earth crumbled into dust as Weevil was struck by the overwhelming assault.
Countless blows hammered against his thick Armament Haki armor, like a cataclysmic collision—as if millions of tons of explosives had detonated.
"Pfft!"
Weevil's defenses were finally breached.
Katakuri and Yamato's full-powered attacks landed squarely on his body.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
A storm of massive fists rained down.
Katakuri's face twisted ferociously as pitch-black ghost flames, completely engulfed Weevil's body, fiercely burning his soul.
"AAAHHH! IT HURTS, MOMMY! IT HURTS SO MUCH! I WANT TOYS! I WANT CHICKEN LEGS!"
Weevil dropped his guandao, clutching his head as he rolled on the ground, trying to shake off the black flames—but to no avail.
The ghost flames clung like a curse, not merely searing his flesh but tormenting his very soul and consciousness.
The pain he felt wasn't physical—it was his spirit being scorched.
Queen's trembled as he watched Weevil writhe in agony, gulping.
"By Caesar's name, what the hell is up with this guy's body? Why won't it break? I thought it was just his Haki being absurdly thick, but his flesh is monstrous too. Is he even human?"
Katakuri and Yamato also realized this.
Their expressions darkened, their faces pale from exhaustion.
Their combined ultimate attack had nearly drained them, utilizing Awakening, Conqueror's Haki Infusion and other powerful techniques—all landing squarely on this monster.
Yet, the result?
They shattered Weevil's Haki armor and Katakuri's ghost flames had some effect.
All three were elite fighters (Queen: I know what you're thinking—I was the MVP today), with keen perception.
They had already noticed a horrifying truth.
Despite enduring so many attacks, this mentally unstable monster had only suffered superficial wounds—his vitality barely diminished!
"This guy's tougher than Kizaru. His durability is insane. We can't kill him like this—we'll have to wear him down slowly" Katakuri muttered, tightening his grip on his trident, Mogura.
Yamato glanced at her bent iron club, pursed her lips, then ran her right hand down its length—straightening it instantly.
"WAAAHHHH!!"
Suddenly, Weevil stopped rolling and sat up, letting out an earth-shaking scream that startled the trio.
"This guy's lost it again. You wouldn't believe it—earlier, when his mom died, he chased me for like half an hour" Queen remarked, clicking his tongue.
Yamato was speechless, looking at Queen as if he were an idiot.
"You kill his mother, who else would he chase but you?"
At that moment, Weevil clutched his mouth, howling in agony and terror.
"Waaah! My beard! My beard! The beard just like my father Whitebeard is gone! Waaah!"
Queen felt the air around him boiling like scalding water, his eardrums nearly bursting from the noise, his head buzzing.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Queen couldn't help but roar.
Weevil's wailing stopped abruptly.
His tear-filled eyes turned to glare at Queen.
His massive body rose from the ground and he charged straight at Queen.
"Oh crap!" Queen shuddered in fright, blinking rapidly.
He whistled innocently and quietly shuffled his feet, hiding behind Yamato and Katakuri.
BOOM!
The battle erupted once more.
***
At the top of the Cake Tower, Kaido's face darkened as he listened to the report from the Gifters, shocked by the news they brought.
Caesar and Linlin's son, Katakuri's own brother Oven, had died in the waters of Totto Land—on an island under his own jurisdiction!
"Kaido-sama, by now, Queen and the others should already be on that island, fighting the enemy."
Kaido slowly stood up, picking up his kanabo at his feet.
"Take me there," he said in a low voice.
But as he reached the door, his steps faltered.
"I can't leave here. Aokiji and Zephyr—those two old foxes—could be lurking anywhere, watching. Fine, notify Caesar and Linlin instead."
Purupuru.
The Den Den Mushi rang a few times before the other end picked up.
Linlin's lazy voice came through.
"What is it, Kaido? We're having afternoon tea on Donut Island, Wanna join us?"
Kaido hesitated before speaking.
"Linlin, where's Caesar? Put him on."
"Hah? You two keeping secrets from me now? Tch, so mysterious."
****
Donut Island, located two hundred miles from Whole Cake Island, was under Katakuri's command.
Known for its variety of sweet delicacies, it was especially famous for its donuts and chocolate fruit tea.
At the center of the island, inside the most renowned dessert shop, Zero-Calorie Restaurant—
Caesar and Linlin sat by the window on the third floor, enjoying the island's scenery as they leisurely sipped fruit tea and munched on donuts.
The third floor was sparsely populated, reserved for the wealthy and elite.
Yet, even these well-dressed guests couldn't help but glance at Caesar and Linlin, their eyes filled with awe and fear.
"What is it, Kaido?" Caesar asked, puzzled, taking the Den Den Mushi from Linlin and holding it up.
"Oven's dead—on Oven Island. Zephyr and Aokiji are lurking here, so I can't move. Queen and Katakuri are already there. You're fast—I suggest you go check it out."
Kaido's voice was hushed.
The cheerful smile on Caesar's face faded bit by bit.
From his towering, imposing frame, an overwhelming suffocating aura began to rise, spreading in all directions.
Sensing the shift in Caesar's mood, Linlin who had been lost in the joy of sweets, paused and looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
BOOM!
The sky above Donut Island, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly gathered dark clouds that shrouded the land.
The rumble of thunder rolled ominously, as if a dragon were roaring within the clouds.
Caesar stood up, the air around him distorting.
His towering figure grew somewhat indistinct and the surroundings took on a bizarre, surreal appearance.
"Linlin, you should return to Whole Cake Island early. Enemies are coming—Zephyr and Aokiji. I have some business to take care of."
The words hissed through Caesar's teeth as he shattered the third-floor balcony with a single motion.
His massive frame soared into the air, golden feathers sprouting across his body.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a colossal golden bird, streaking across the sky like a bolt of lightning before vanishing into the distance.
"Zephyr and Aokiji?"
Linlin frowned, casting a reluctant glance at the sweets on the table before rising to her feet and hurrying back to Whole Cake Island.
