One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 118 The island cracked open!
The arena, a new ring.

"Bang!!!"

Goode and Katakuri charged at each other, their fists, imbued with Haki, clashed, and the powerful impact swept across the arena.

Their intense gazes met!
If Groudon form and the ability to foresee the future are maintained, the battle will drag on indefinitely until one of them can no longer hold on.

But it would be meaningless for either of them to decide the winner through a tug-of-war, so they both understood the signal the other was sending.

Katakuri dropped his disguise, revealing his true self to Goode, and abandoned his ability to foresee the future.

Goode responded in kind, reverting to Groudon form, ready for a pure contest of power and dominance.

Only by stepping out of your comfort zone can you move forward!
"Oh oh oh!!!"

Goode's eyes widened in fury, his muscles bulged, and a burst of violent power erupted. He deflected Katakuri's fist and simultaneously slammed his own fist into Katakuri's left cheek!
hit!
Katakuri tilted his head back, the area where he was hit enveloped in Armament Haki, and thick veins bulged on his neck as he forced his head back straight against Goode's fist.

"Horned Rice Cake!"

The next second, four iron fists struck Goode's face!

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The two men, their faces like demons, roared and attacked wildly, their fists striking each other while they themselves were also being attacked.

Blood continued to spill onto the ground!

The underground emperor and ministers from all nations climbed up one after another, peeking out half their heads to secretly observe the duel between Goode and the other.

"These two have changed their fighting style!"

Although the reason for this is unknown, the intensity of the battle at this moment is no less than before, and may even be more brutal.

Every punch landed hard, and the injuries on both of them increased visibly, with the intensity of the fight gradually escalating.

"Weird Rice Cake!"

"Cliff Sword!"

The massive Awakening Fist was unleashed, only to be pierced by a pillar of lava that rose from the ground. Accompanied by a dazzling light, the arm made of rice cakes was blasted into pieces.

"puff!"

Katakuri groaned. In his awakened state, his Musou Arm was an extension of his body. Although he wouldn't be truly injured, the pain of his arm being blown apart wouldn't disappear.

But this pain did not shake him in the slightest.

More and more donuts are appearing!

"Nutuan groans!"

All the donuts sprouted block-shaped arms that launched a fierce attack on Goode, leaving countless afterimages between the two!

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Spiked armor!

Goode curled up like a pangolin, his red shell encasing him, while a series of imposing, jet-black spikes emerged from his shell!
Absolute defensive stance!
When the body was hit, the spikes, which were more than ten times harder than steel, instantly pierced Katakuri's mochi fist.

All of the glutinous rice fists collapsed, and Goode was also blasted to the edge of the ring.

"Spike Lava Chariot!"

Goode's entire body glowed red, as if covered in magma, and even the spikes on his body turned a scorching orange-red.

Its curled-up body spun violently as it charged toward Katakuri at breakneck speed!

Katakuri can easily dodge his straightforward attacks even without using his ability to foresee the future. However, when he launches a counterattack, his fist is burned and deflected.

Do not touch!

Goode spun at high speed, circled the ring halfway, and charged at Katakuri again, bouncing high into the air as he approached.

Katakuri, panting heavily, took out his trident from his wrist and spun it at full speed, aiming it at Good in the sky.

"Nutuan thrust!"

"Sizzle~ Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"

The trident pierced the spinning Goode, creating a lot of sparks!

But in the next moment, the spinning spiked chariot suddenly opened, and Goode's bent body, like the gaping maw of a beast, lunged at Katakuri!

"what?!"

Katakuri's expression changed drastically; this sudden change was clearly beyond his comprehension, but his rich combat experience allowed him to make a quick judgment. He was still holding his weapon!

The trident pierced Goode's chest!

"Well!"

Good twisted his body, his abdomen pierced by the trident. He groaned and continued to pounce, his body arching forward as he swallowed Katakuri below him whole.

His muscles contracted rapidly, squeezing Katakuri in his arms.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible!
"puff!"

Katakuri coughed up a mouthful of blood, countless bones in his body were broken, and his body, compressed into a ball, was completely unable to exert any strength.

It's like being inside a box that's gradually shrinking.

But Goode's attack was not over yet; sharp spikes extended from his body and pierced into Katakuri's body!
"Hell's Prison - Steel Chamber!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Accompanied by screams, a large amount of blood gushed from Goode's curled-up body.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

"Brother Katakuri!"

Just when everyone thought Katakuri had been defeated, a blood-red mochi ball squeezed out from the gap and fled like a long snake.

"Hu~~ huh~~"

Katakuri reverted to human form, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily. His entire body was riddled with bloody holes, turning his skin red.

Goode stretched out his body and staggered to his feet. A trident was stuck in his bloodied abdomen, with only the handle sticking out.

Behind it, blood dripped continuously from the tip of the trident.

"puff!"

Goode pulled out his trident and threw it aside.

His eyes were blazing with fire.

Compared to his condition, Katakuri's injuries were more severe, and he had lost too much blood. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long; the next move would decide the outcome.

Goode's gaze was cold, and four sharp claws extended from his right hand. The "Ω" pattern on his back shell had turned into flowing magma.

The power supply is sufficient!

Although it was only one hand, and he didn't know how much power it could unleash, he was certain that this strike was enough to secure victory!

"It's time to end this, Katakuri!"

"Yes."

Katakuri's eyes glowed red, and his whole body radiated a blood-red heat wave, like a demon returned from hell.

The two walked past each other again, brushed past each other, and came to opposite ends of the ring before turning around at the same time.

Without a word, the two of them simultaneously stepped forward and rushed toward each other.

Katakuri's right arm swelled and grew larger, the crook of his arm covered with sharp spikes like a mace, condensing all his Haki.

Goode also raised his right claw, its lava-like patterns radiating a scorching light, as if he were wielding a sword from a precipice!
"Oh oh oh!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Cut, cut, rice cake!"

"Sword of the Cliff - Cleave!"

With a blinding white light, the battle came to an end, and the arena, along with the mountain below, split in two, with the huge crack extending to both ends of the island.

The island has cracked open!
In the center of the battlefield, Katakuri lay beside a massive chasm.

Goode stood to one side.

Winner: Goode.
