Chapter 92: Katakuri’s Challenge
Kizaru lounged on a sun chair, legs crossed, the sunlight glinting off his short black hair like a high-gloss filter.
His fingers moved lightning-fast across his phone screen, practically a blur.
The hero he controlled dashed through the canyon like a streak of light, narrowly dodging enemy skills at the last second, again and again.
"Oh my, missed again," Kizaru said with a smirk, watching Daji's annoyed face on the screen.
He lazily took a sip of coffee, like this was all just a casual afternoon hobby.
Suddenly—
Three burly heroes burst from the bush. Kizaru's lips curved upward. "Too slow." His hero instantly blinked to safety, countered with a devastating combo, and scored a triple kill in the blink of an eye.
Onscreen, the enemy heroes dropped like dominoes, every movement smooth and surgical.
"How scary," Kizaru winked at the livestream camera, his tone half-joking, half-teasing. "Almost got jumped."
This gameplay highlight instantly skyrocketed up the trending ranks.
#LightSpeedKizaru, Eighteen Key Combos in One Second!
Netizens erupted. The comment section was flooded with jokes and applause:
> "That hand speed must come from being single for a hundred years!"
> "Someone test his urine! That ain't human reflexes."
On the training field, Kizaru remained sprawled out on his sun lounger, calm and relaxed.
On his phone screen, likes and comments from fans surged like tidal waves. But he stayed indifferent—as expected from someone who'd seen it all.
Then—
A mysterious squad suddenly appeared, clearly built to counter Kizaru.
The moment the enemy picked Zhang Liang, and Daji, Kizaru's sunglasses slid down his nose.
He frowned slightly and sighed. "These kids these days, huh... No ethics at all~~"
Kizaru lazily leaned back on the Marineford office sofa, finger swiping across his screen.
Defeat.
That word flashed in glaring red on his screen.
His legendary 99-win streak, ended—just like that.
A flicker of disbelief passed through his eyes.
"Oh dear, oh dear." Kizaru pushed his sunglasses back up. The lenses reflected the enemy team's player info.
And then he saw it—one name that made his eye twitch:
[Three Sweet Commanders · Katakuri]
What caught his attention even more was that all five opponents had a matching team prefix: [BIGMOM Pirates]
"This is... terrifying," Kizaru muttered as he slowly sat up, tapping the screen thoughtfully.
He began replaying the match in his mind: the perfect bush ambush, the flawlessly chained skills, and that damned Katakuri who kept reading his every move.
Thinking back now—it was clearly a premeditated ambush.
He tapped into the match history.
All five accounts were brand new, each with a spotless record—zero losses.
All win streaks?!
This was beyond tryhard.
"They really went all out just to snipe me..." Kizaru slid his finger across the screen and replayed Katakuri's final engage.
That predictive flash-ult combo shattered his hundred-win dream.
Onscreen, Katakuri's skills landed with terrifying precision, every move clearly calculated in advance.
Kizaru couldn't help but nod, a complex smile forming on his face. "This kid… he's got some real skill."
He leaned back against the sofa, eyes half-closed, reviewing every second of that battle in his mind.
The enemy team's coordination was unreal. Every skill felt like part of a pre-scripted performance.
Even though Kizaru was strong, under that level of setup and planning… he had to admit he'd underestimated them.
"Oh dear, oh dear... Can't look down on these kids anymore," he muttered.
He set his phone aside, stood up, and walked to the window.
Sunlight streamed across Marineford's training ground, bathing him in a blinding glow.
"Maybe... this game's world just got a whole lot more interesting."
…
The next day,
A video detonated across the Sea like a depth charge.
It was posted from the BIGMOM Pirates' official TikTok account, and it instantly blew up.
Views soared in seconds, and the comments came flooding in.
The video opened with Katakuri's signature scarf fluttering in the wind. He sat aboard a luxury pirate ship, sunlight cutting across his stern features.
He glanced at his phone, then slowly spoke in a deep, commanding voice:
"I heard… someone claims to be 'Light Speed Invincible'?"
Then the footage cut to pure humiliation: rapid-fire match highlights of Kizaru's worst moments.
The moment Kizaru left his fountain, he was jumped by the full BIGMOM squad, instantly deleted.
His hero's health bar vanished in a second. Gone. Ashes.
Katakuri's every move was one step ahead. His chain CC was clinical, predicting Kizaru's blink locations with scary accuracy. Kizaru couldn't even lift a finger in response.
Finally, the footage zoomed in on the end screen:
"Defeat."
The red text stamped over Kizaru's 99-win streak like a death certificate.
Countless viewers were left stunned.
Katakuri's voice came in cold and flat at the end:
"This game… is too easy."
"All challengers are welcome. One loss, one billion Berries."
The internet exploded.
Trending tags took over instantly:
#KatakuriTenBillionBounty
#KizaruCrushed
#BIGMOMPiratesEsports
Comments rolled in nonstop:
> "NO WAY?! Katakuri beat Kizaru?!"
> "Those combos were god-tier. Katakuri is HOK's true king!"
> "One billion Berries?! Is he challenging the whole damn world?!"
> "Kizaru really got steamrolled this time..."
