But this time the speed is clearly much slower than before.
"After all, it's not infinite, huh?"
Shano hovered mid-air, watching BIGMOM's chest bones struggle to heal, with a grin:
"Since there's a limit, then it's manageable."
If things keep up like this, one more blow and these bones won't be able to heal before the battle ends, the rest of the parts are the same.
Comparing the two.
His self-healing ability, as long as his stamina is sufficient, is endless, surpassing BIGMOM!
No need to worry about anything!
Elevate the battle, using a reckless strategy of trading wounds for wounds, to tear apart, rip into pieces, and destroy this Steel Balloon!
Decide superiority, and also life and death!
"Mamahahaha, manageable?" BIGMOM's expression grew increasingly vicious, "You dare say, brat!"
"Mama!"
At this moment, Prometheus, Hera, and Napoleon finally rushed back from afar, rejoining BIGMOM's side.
"Oh, you're back."
BIGMOM bared her teeth, "You came just in time, hey, join the battle again, you three!"
"Yes, Mama!"
The youthful robust body, it's truly enviable.
Even with her arrogant self-confidence in her own talent, she had to admit, this brat, not only in swordsmanship but also in hand-to-hand combat, was absolutely not inferior to her!
Perhaps, even slightly stronger!
And having been suppressed for so long, she must face the reality now, to crush the opponent, relying solely on her fists won't work.
The power of the three Homiz is indispensable!
"Mamahahaha, still gotta rely on my most familiar fighting style, you've had your fun now, it's my turn to counterattack, Shano brat!"
She raised her head, gripped the sword handle tightly again, both of their fierce eyes focused at one point, then instantly disappeared from the spot, charging towards each other!
BAM BAM BAM BAM!
The entire sky above the island immediately exploded into a continuous cloud of sonic booms.
And that massive commotion was clearly heard even from the distant glacier battlefield...
——————
"Mama!"
Katakuri's expression changed slightly, suddenly turned around, raised his head, gazed towards the direction of the split island.
The enormous noise coming from there was hard to ignore and made him distracted.
Since the battle began until now, the sunset had fallen, night gradually descended, the sky was completely dark.
Therefore, nothing was visible to the naked eye.
Yet in the vague perception from Observation.
Mama's...
Energy was noticeably more chaotic, had she fallen behind in the previous exchanges?
Katakuri narrowed his eyes, his face cast a shadow.
But after calming down, it didn't matter.
After all, battles between Sea Emperors often last days and nights once they start, even if one gradually gains the upper hand, true victory is extremely hard to achieve.
Let alone life and death.
The so-called "Four Emperors"... none of them are easy to kill!
Therefore, comparatively, what concerns him more at this moment is the situation of his siblings in the Ice Marsh.
Not good.
Very bad...
Over at Snack's side, he indeed held the advantage, suppressing his opponent, forgot the enemy's name, it's a guy whose name sounded similar.
As for Perospero big brother, with the richest experience and wisdom, that Shano's sister is also having a tough and difficult time.
No need to worry about these two, given some time, they're likely to win, but as for the others...
Especially over at Smoothie's side, not long ago, a Supreme King wave erupted, sharp as a sword, piercing the sky, absolutely improbable to belong to his sister.
"Hey hey, now's not the time to lose focus!"
Jack's furious voice echoed, twin scythes entwined in potent wild Haki slashed down hard, "What the hell, forgot you're facing me, Katakuri!"
CLANG!
The metallic clang echoed across the battlefield, Katakuri hurried to block, but the wild force jolted him back several steps.
He glanced at the blood seeping from his palm, let out a cold snort.
"Oh hahahaha! Finally bleeding!"
Jack grinned with a smug laugh, showing blood-stained sharp teeth, "Finally paid for your arrogance, you bastard!"
So damn tough!
Katakuri is just bleeding, but he's already covered in blood.
How can he be so strong, this monster wearing human skin!
Clearly, against that Grand Admiral Aokiji and Kaido years ago, he didn't feel this much pressure!
"Don't get cocky!"
Katakuri's eyes glinted with icy light.
The situation was worse than imagined, and he had been held up long enough, must exert extra effort to end this quickly!
CRACK!
Trident Earth Dragon thrust down.
The surface layer of ice, parts not touching seawater, was suddenly assimilated by his Awakening ability, turning into flowing mochi.
Controlled with precision, directed at will!
"Down!"
Katakuri yelled, pressing the Trident again, the mochi-assimilated ice surface immediately applied tremendous force down, in a hundred-meter radius, the ice layer plummeted all at once.
This was a complete collapse, everything happened too fast, too sudden, leaving no time for reaction.
Jack was just stunned when his enormous body suddenly lost support, crashing into the icy sea.
"Glub glub glub—"
Seawater flooded Jack's nose and mouth instantly, his face turned frantic, limbs instinctively struggled upwards.
Being a Fishman, even as a Devil Fruit Ability User, he could still breathe and stay conscious underwater.
Yet ultimately a land creature.
That utterly unresistible sense of weakness swiftly surged through his body, the twelve-meter-tall giant immediately sank rapidly like a stone.
"It's over."
Katakuri stood at the edge of the ice cavity, coldly overseeing the gradually blurring figure underwater.
He's no fool.
During the battle, he realized this Ancient Mammoth was too tough to break through.
With a bit of thought, immediately understood that this guy was simply positioned by Endgame to hold him.
Can he defeat him?
Absolutely no doubt.
But using normal methods, it'd take at least a whole night of battle, and by the time dawn breaks, his siblings might be mostly dead or wounded!
In such circumstances, the supposed victory of a man and glory, what's the point?
Family, and his sisters, are the most important!
Surveying the surroundings, slightly sensing with Observation, Katakuri decided to assist Smoothie.
Endgame's Deputy Captain Kuina, is precisely the opponent meant for him to resolve!
Besides, Smoothie's energy was becoming weak, clearly wouldn't hold out long.
Katakuri clutched the Trident, turned and was about to leave.
However.
Right then, mutation arose without warning!
BOOM!
A silver lightning burst forth from the sea, Ah Yin gripping Jack's back neck soared into the sky, carrying splashes of water everywhere, the massive wolf agilely landing on distant ice, casually placing the burly giant down.
"Thanks a lot!"
Jack quickly stood up, taking deep breaths, drenched but his eyes still burning with fighting spirit, patting Ah Yin's head with a grin:
"Nicely done, Senior Ah Yin!"
Ah Yin disdainfully dodged his hand, not bothering to deal more, it dashed away as a silver phantom into the distance.
With its powerful mobility and skilled rescuer experience, it became the most versatile moving support force on the battlefield.
Jack awkwardly scratched his head, watched Ah Yin leave, then shifted focus back to Katakuri's face.
"I won't let you go easily this time! Or it'll be huge trouble for my allies!"
He wiped the water from his face, snarling fiercely,
"I'll stake my life, drag you here! Falling into the sea was due to carelessness, but once is enough! Won't happen a second time!"
