Chapter 153

After the two Yonko became serious, Whole Cake Island became completely insecure. Most tried to leave him and get away from this disaster. After a hard victory over Smoothie, Sargon and Robin quickly copied the poneglyph and began to leave. On the way, they met North, so having united, they quickly began to leave this place. But not all of the team have finished their battles yet.

In the Forest of Seductions, a battle was still taking place, which began not so long ago. Charlie, Alia, Nami and Sanji faced several powerful opponents. Of course, they would have easily defeated them one by one. But the problem was that they far outnumbered them. More than ten children of Big Mom, led by Perospero, whose strength was not far from the level of the Candy General. Moreover, they had quite strong pirate allies, Tamago Knight, with his companion Pekoms. These three were already enough to cause problems. Although of course they weren't Sanji's opponents. But most of the arrivals were fruit, so the battle dragged on. Even so, it was clear who would come out the winner. Yet Charlie and Sanji's powers were terrifying. The logic of lightning and the logic of light were victorious one after another. It became much easier after a terrifying wave passed through everyone. Sanji took the lead and decided to finally destroy everything here ...

* Bz-z-z-z * * BOOM! * * BOOM! *

Terrifying golden lightning struck all members of Big Mom's team. Charlie did not stand aside and, stretching out his arms, shouted:

- Light Bomb!

* BOOOOM! *

Another terrifying explosion thundered in this once tranquil forest. All that is left is a huge crater, several burnt bodies and a gradually burning forest.

With this one attack, all the enemies were defeated, no matter how Perospero tried, he could not stand it.

As soon as the lightning stopped incinerating the forest, the sky shook again. Everyone turned towards Whole Cake Chateau. Suddenly, the level building split into two parts. Even in the sky, a clear trace was reflected, and the black clouds parted slightly.

Sanji snorted.

"Damn swordsman, what did he do there?"

Charlie chuckled.

- It looks like he finished, it's time to get out before the cap here has blown everything.

- What about Robin-chan? The cook asked worriedly.

Suddenly, Nami appeared next to them and said:

"Sargon is with her, so everything will be all right. It's time to leave before it's too late.

Surprisingly, none of the four were even hurt. It was immediately clear that this fight was not that difficult. Perhaps they were the only ones from the team who were so lucky ...

Charlie turned to the others and said:

- I quickly fly to the castle and check, we must not lose.

- I'm with you. Sanji stood beside him.

Charlie shook his head.

- - No need, I alone will be enough, better prepare the ship for sailing.

Sanji was about to protest but was stopped by Nami and pulled to the side. After saying something to him, the cook sighed and nodded:

- Be careful.

Smiling, Charlie disappeared with a flash of light.

The rest, without thinking twice, turned around and began to leave.

***

A few minutes earlier, the Whole Cake Chateau neighborhood.

The once beautiful place, with many decorated houses, has fallen into ruins. This was by no means the result of the Yonko clash. The two who fought here were among the strongest in their teams. Perhaps they can be called the second after their captains.

Charlotte Katakuri and Roronoa Zoro, two terrifyingly powerful pirates. The two were completely disparate in size, but they did not differ much in strength. That is why, now they were all bloody and pretty weak.

Even as a master of the will of observation, against this swordsman, Katakuri sometimes missed attacks. The speed of the sword and terrifying instincts, calmly allowed Zoro to repulse the enemy, and being also the owner of swords, it was even easier for him to strike. Yet comparing sword and fists, it was not hard to see who would emerge victorious. Although Katakuri was a master of the will of arms, so was Zoro. So Katakuri tried to dodge as much as possible and use the fruit. But as much as he wanted direct contact, he still needed to face it. How can he win without striking? So it was natural that the fist and the sword collided. From which Katakuri's fists were bleeding and were ripped to the bone.

But even if Zoro had the advantage in weapons, he was otherwise lagging behind. As much as his will and instincts were developed, Katakuri was still Katakuri. His will to observe was terrifying ... That is why, Zoro missed most of the blows and was in a deplorable state, which cannot be said about Katakuri, that he still fully held on, although he was wounded. Zoro was fortunate that he developed very quickly in this battle. He was even glad that he came across a similar opponent, it took only a few minutes, and his will to observe moved to a completely different level. He already felt that he was very close to that very level of foresight.

* Vshuh * * Vshuh * * Vshuh * * Bang! *

Taking another blow, the swordsman staggered back and swung his blade. The speed was many times slower than before, which Katakuri happily used. After Zoro was weakened, he was at his fingertips. All he needed was to survive his first quick attacks, and now all that remained was to win. But even so, he was in no hurry, he enjoyed the battle that was so rare ...

* Vshuh * * Bach *

Dodging and striking, Katakuri aimed his fist at Zoro's jaw, but suddenly, as if he had foreseen and took a step back, he dodged. Surprised, Katakuri reacted a little later, causing the blade to hit him again.

* Tink! *

Blocking it, the general jumped back and grinned:

- Not bad, you learn quickly, amazing ...

Zoro bared his bloody teeth and said:

- You've already lost.

Katakuri raised an eyebrow and asked:

- Lost? What do you have in ... - at that moment, the general suddenly felt danger. His will didn't react, but instincts ... before he could do something, the incredibly fast blade easily cut through the air. Noticing the swordsman's unusual actions and the strange dark purple color, Katakuri dared not hesitate. Everything happened within a few milliseconds, so there was no point in dodging. The speed of the blade was so fast that all he could do was move his body a little to the right and concentrate all the will of the weapon. In an instant, this ghostly blade passed through Katakuri's body. He immediately felt horror because he realized what had happened.

The last thing he saw was a huge creature with six arms and three heads. The aura of this monster was overwhelming, and a dark purple color obscured the eyes. The last thing he heard was a cold phrase:

- Shine of the Asura.

At the same moment, Katakuri's left arm, along with his shoulder, separated from the body. The Candy General immediately passed out. But the attack did not stop ... The firmly standing Whole Cake Chateau was instantly split in two. A wave swept across the dark sky and slightly parted thick black clouds.

"Kha ..." Coughing up blood, Zoro fell forward, but in time he plunged his katana into the ground and held on.

Thus, this battle ended ...
