As the words fell,
The entire Fishman island fell into a strange silence.
All the people on Katakuri ship looked at Whitebeard in horror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Faced with the question from the world's strongest man, no one dared to answer.
"Guurarara ~"
Seeing no one answering, Whitebeard let out a deep laugh, and suddenly his body unleashed a powerful surge of Conqueror's Haki.
Boom~
Haki swept through like a raging hurricane.
Wherever it passed, the vegetation bowed down, and at a fast speed, it crashed into the Katakuri ship.
"Here it comes!"
Katakuri's eyes narrowed into needle-like points.
He quickly raised his fists and crossed them in front of him, attempting to withstand the force of the Haki.
Crashh!
Relentless Haki surged towards him.
His breathing grew stagnant as he felt an immense force bearing down on his body. He staggered back under the impact of the Haki, taking several steps backward.
The rest of the crew on the ship fared even worse.
Feeling the overwhelming Haki, their breaths became rapid, clutching their necks in shock before falling into a state of stupefied.
In an instant,
The entire crew on the ship, except for Katakuri,
The rest were rendered powerless, unable to fight!
Katakuri, witnessing it all with his own eyes, was filled with astonishment.
As Katakuri looked at Whitebeard standing on the ship's bow, who had only said a word in the beginning, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
But as the head of the three Sweet Commanders,
Despite the discomfort in his heart, he mustered up the courage to speak, albeit with difficulty.
"The Big Mom Pirates don't want to be enemies of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Don't want to be our enemy? Then why did you come here? Don't you know that Fishman Island belongs to Father's territory?"
Marco stepped onto the bow and stood beside Whitebeard, placing his hands on his waist as he cast a stern gaze at Katakuri as He spoke in a flat tone: "And I've heard that you injured Jinbei. Jinbei is our brother. At sea, anyone who dares to harm our family, we won't let them off easily!"
"From the looks of it,"
"Big Mom is ready to go to war with us?"
Ace joined Whitebeard's side, his fists engulfed in fiery crimson flames as he spoke.
"Daring to harm Jinbei is unforgivable!"
'Diamond' Jozu stepped forward, his gaze sharp as he stared at Katakuri.
Katakuri remained silent.
If it was just a division commander or fleet captain, Katakuri still had the confidence to defeat them.
But now, with Marco, Ace, and others by their side, and the presence of Whitebeard, known as the strongest man in the world, Katakuri realized the overwhelming power that stood against him.
In the face of such a formidable lineup, he had no confidence in his ability to become winners.
But
He is not a person who sits still and waits for his death.
With his renowned composure and strategic mind, he knows that the only way to escape from this situation is through battle.
At that moment, he lifted his head abruptly!
He fixed his gaze on Whitebeard with fierce determination.
Boom!
He leaped into the air, brandishing his trident, and charged straight at Whitebeard.
Knowing that he had no escape route.
He initiated an attack on Whitebeard!
"Oh?"
Astonishment flashed in the eyes of Marco and others.
Unexpectedly, Katakuri showed such courage, daring to attack their father even though he knew he was no match for him.
If he changes to some cowardly people.
That people would have been overwhelmed by fear and given up all resistance,
"Oyaji, leave it to me!"
Ace said with high fighting spirit, his fists burned with fiery flames. He leaped into action, intercepting Katakuri: "If you want to lay a hand on the old man, you'll have to get through me first!"
"Hikenn!"
Ace's fist erupted with blazing flames, creating a fiery Fire Fist!
The scorching flames soared high, while the searing air fiercely surged and collided with Katakuri.
"Fire Fist Ace!"
Katakuri squinted his eyes.
Faced with such a wide range of flame attacks, he could no longer rush toward Whitebeard.
With a swift swing of his trident, with a violent sound of breaking through the air, he slashed at the flames.
Zhiingg~
In an instant, the flame was sliced cleanly in two.
As he glanced upwards, he saw Ace charging towards him, engulfed in blazing flames.
His fist burned by flames.
But,
Just before Ace's fist connected, Katakuri effortlessly dodged by tilting his head.
"I've already seen through every move you make!"
Katakuri's expression turned serious.
His ultimate trump card is Observation Haki, granting him the ability to glimpse a few seconds into the future!
In that moment, Ace feigned an attack with his Fire Fist, only to swiftly strike from close range. Katakuri had already sensed it keenly.
As he spoke, the trident trembled, forcefully pushing away Ace fist.
Simultaneously, his right fist surged with Armament Haki, sending a powerful punch to Ace abdomen with a violent burst of air.
"What a quick response!"
Ace squinted his eyes.
Instinctively, he raised his foot and swiftly blocked the attack without hesitation.
boom!
A muffled voice resonated.
An invisible wave of air generated from the center of their clash and rippled through the surroundings.
In the clash, Ace staggered back, taking three consecutive steps in retreat.
However, as Katakuri landed, he came to an immediate and steady halt.
"Amazing!"
"He managed to knock Ace back?"
Luffy, who had also arrived at the bow to observe, gazed in awe.

"Of course, Charlotte Katakuri is the leader of the three Sweet Commanders, with a bounty of 1 billion Berries, earning him the title of the Big Mom Pirates' greatest masterpiece!"
Marco explained.
"But Ace is not weak either!"
Vista grinned.
As soon as the words left Vista mouth, the spectators witnessed Ace swinging his fists.
The intense flames blazed, shaping into a spear-like form, before Ace throwing it towards Katakuri.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The flames exploded, forcing Katakuri to evade.
Taking advantage of the opening, Ace swung his fist and delivered a fiery punch.
Boom!
They collided once more.
The flames raged fiercely, igniting everything in their vicinity.
Katakuri, leader of the Sweet Commanders in the Big Mom Pirates, and Ace, Commander of the Second Division in the Whitebeard Pirates, engaged in an intense battle that lasted for a while.
In such a fierce battle, let alone Luffy.
Even the Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates was left in awe
"He may not choose the most strategic approach, but he's definitely not one to hold back. Despite knowing he's cornered with limited options, he fearlessly initiates his attacks, disregarding any sense of caution or logic."
Whitebeard gazed at Katakuri, a smile flickering in his eyes, and said, "But I admire this spirited and reckless youngster!"
COMMENT
As the words were spoken, a silence fell upon the surroundings.
Marco and the others stared at their father in astonishment.
Because they heard it from their father own lips,
He expressed his appreciation for Katakuri!

BOOM!
At that moment, Ace and Katakuri clashed once more. Faced with tremendous force, Ace's body was sent flying backward, landing forcefully on the bow of the Moby Dick. With a piercing gaze, he locked eyes with Katakuri and took a deep breath.
"This guy is really tough!" Ace declared, determined to continue his attack. However, just as he was about to make his move, he noticed a hand blocking his path. Ace looked up in surprise, realizing it was the old man who stopped him.
"Guurarara~"
"Linlin's son, if you seek trouble, then I shall be your opponent!" Whitebeard fixed his gaze on Katakuri, speaking with a gentle smile in his voice.
"Is the old man going to join the fight?" Ace took a deep breath, causing the flame on his fist to extinguish.
"It looks like Pops holds great admiration for Katakuri," Marco remarked, smiling as he exchanged a meaningful glance with the others. "Perhaps he'll become our brother."
"Ugh?" Everyone was taken aback by this revelation, but upon further reflection, the idea of Katakuri joining the family didn't seem so bad.
"The strongest man in the world - Whitebeard!"
Katakuri's face remained motionless, his previous calm expression now replaced by a solemn demeanor. He had a calculative and calm personality, never overestimating or underestimating others. Fully aware of the vast gap separating him from Whitebeard, Katakuri faced the challenge.
Thump!
Whitebeard leaped from the ship and landed firmly on the ground. Instead of acting immediately, he walked towards Katakuri with steady steps, calm and peaceful. It seemed more like a leisurely stroll than a confrontation, but it brought unimaginable pressure on Katakuri.
The moment he laid eyes on Whitebeard, a voice echoed in his heart, reminding him that the person before him was earning the title of the strongest man in the world. During the Summit War of Marineford, Whitebeard even won against the three Admirals, securing a decisive victory.
Cold sweat trickled down Katakuri's forehead. As Whitebeard drew nearer, Katakuri summoned his courage, letting out a low growl, and swiftly rushed forward.
Stabbed!
With the trident raised high, he struggled to strike down with all his might. However, Whitebeard remained unmoved, treating the attack as if it were child's play, not worth his attention. The weapons approached, only a few centimeters away from Whitebeard.
"It succeeded?" This thought briefly crossed Katakuri's mind. However,
Whitebeard's overwhelming power and the intensity of the battle against Katakuri reached a critical point. Katakuri, known for his incredible dodging abilities, found himself in a perilous situation as Whitebeard's Naginata descended with tremendous force.
"Guurarara~ Linlin kid, show me the extent of your foolishness!" Whitebeard's laughter echoed as the Naginata swiftly approached. Katakuri, recognizing the immense power behind the blow, instinctively raised his trident to defend himself, engaging in a clash of metal that reverberated with explosive force.
The strength behind Whitebeard's attack left Katakuri defenseless, his arms trembling as he was pushed backward. Despite his efforts to resist, he felt the overwhelming force and realized he was about to fall to the ground. In that critical moment, Katakuri remembered his sister's words, vowing never to fall on his back.
"I can't fall!" Katakuri exclaimed, determined not to let his family down. As he felt the numbness in his arm, he was on the verge of landing on his back. However, he summoned an unexpected surge of strength, forcefully slamming his head onto the ground, prioritizing support for his body over potential injury.
BOOM! The impact resonated, and Katakuri's head made contact with the ground before his back, showcasing his unwavering determination. Beads of sweat trickled down as he continued to use the trident to withstand Whitebeard's assault.
"Guurarara~ Even if it means getting injured, you must not land on your back. Is there a special conviction that drives you?" Whitebeard inquired, acknowledging the unusual resolve displayed by Katakuri in the face of such formidable opposition. The battle continued, each moment revealing the strength of both combatants and the unyielding convictions that fueled their actions.
Whitebeard witnessed the scene and chuckled, "What a reckless fool!" Saying this, he put away his Naginata, The Murakumogiri.
Feeling the pressure in his hand weaken, Katakuri exerted sudden force to evade. He leaped away from Whitebeard, putting some distance between them. However, he didn't feel lucky or satisfied. Instead, he gazed at Whitebeard with a serious expression. The previous strike made him acutely aware of the vast difference between himself and Whitebeard!
"Sigh~" He took a deep breath, making a conscious effort to calm down.
Swinging the trident once more, Katakuri charged towards Whitebeard. Zhiiing~ The sound of breaking through the air echoed. This attack was faster and more aggressive than before. However, Whitebeard seemed to see through the future, effortlessly dodging Katakuri's attacks no matter where they came from.
Throughout Katakuri's relentless attacks, Whitebeard's expression remained unchanged. From the beginning until now, it seemed like a breeze for Whitebeard. It appeared that he didn't take this battle seriously at all.
"Heh~" Crocodile said with a cigar in his mouth. "This battle is so boring. The difference in strength is too great, and there's absolutely no chance of winning!"
"Obviously, Katakuri is up against the old man!" Marco grinned predictably.
"After all, the old man is the strongest person in the world. It's only natural for him to surpass the younger generation!" Ace burst into laughter.
Amidst the ongoing conversation among several individuals, the battle between the two fighters continued. After launching another four or five attacks, Katakuri finally came to a halt, panting heavily. The look of astonishment on Katakuri's face grew even more pronounced as he gazed at Whitebeard because in this brief clash, he truly experienced the terrifying reality of Whitebeard's strength!
