Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Belial looked at the people "scattering and fleeing" on the ground and sighed helplessly, saying, "Can you guys give me some support? I've never learned how to hold back."

The members of the Flame Tank Pirates on the ground were also somewhat troubled, saying, "We're a gang, not actors. How could we possibly stage something like that?"

"Really..." Belial was complaining on the spot when he suddenly noticed thick smoke rising in the distance. Belial realized that the people who were supposed to come had arrived.

Belial's hands glowed, and he said, "You guys hide well, I'm about to unleash my skills."

After saying that, Belial released several light blasts, which "precisely" struck the crew members.

Mondor, who was far away, was horrified when he saw the explosion and ordered his gunners to fire shells at Beria.

"Bang bang bang!"

Belial turned his head and detonated a series of cannonballs, saying, "Finally, I can let go. Holding back like this is exhausting."

"Ultraman Z Belial, surrender now!" Montor shouted. "Don't try to put up a futile resistance."

"Pfft." Belial couldn't help but laugh, his face covered. "Even those brats from that world wouldn't dare talk to me like that. You guys are really fucking arrogant!"

After saying that, Beria charged towards Montor's convoy like a sword, and a blade of light flew towards the car where Montor was. Montor was terrified and hurriedly ran out.

"Oh!"

The car that Mondor was in was slashed to pieces. Mondor was lucky enough to jump off just before the light blade arrived, but he landed face down and was completely disoriented.

When he regained consciousness, what he saw was a convoy engulfed in flames and his men screaming in terror. Even his own brothers and sisters were injured to varying degrees.

Looking up, I saw Belial destroying the convoy with the Desium Ray.

At that moment, Beria noticed Montor and said with a provocative smile, "Hmm? You're still alive? I thought you were dead!"

After saying that, Belial rushed up to Montor and said as he walked, "Looks like Big Mom's kid isn't all that great."

He stepped on Mondor's stomach and said contemptuously, "Little brat, keep being arrogant. Aren't you so tough?"

Mondor cried out in terror, "You, you let me go! If you dare kill me, my mother and the others will kill you and your whole family!"

“This is the first time,” Belial said, his eyes gleaming with malice. “This is the first time anyone has dared to talk to me like that!” As he spoke, light emanated from Belial’s hands.

"Wait, you can't kill me. You need to understand the consequences of going against your mother."

Upon hearing this, Belial smiled and said, "Is this your last words? I'll take it as such."

After saying that, Belial was about to punch Montor.

Suddenly, Belial sensed danger. Then, a whooshing sound rang out, and something like a sharp sword rushed toward Belial.

The thing was too fast, and Belial hurriedly tried to block it with his hand, but the thing was too strong. Belial was pushed away and slid dozens of meters on the ground. Belial used his strength to bounce it off and barely stopped.

A man approached Montor, who was overjoyed to see him and exclaimed, "Brother, brother..."

"You can step back now; leave this to me."

The man picked up the weapon that Belial had deflected and looked at Belial coldly, saying, "So you're Belial?"

Beria looked at the man, who was at least three meters tall, with purplish-red hair, wearing long leather trousers and leather shoes with gears. A thick, long scarf covered his neck and mouth, leaving only his nose and above exposed.

Beria said, "You are not...?"

"Everything is arranged, so let's get started." Beria said, turning to leave.

“Belial, wait a minute,” Bege said. “If I’m not mistaken, you don’t know anything about the entire Big Mom Pirates, right?”

"Yes what's the matter?"

“I have witnessed your strength firsthand, so I think most of the Big Mom Pirates are not a threat to you. However, besides Big Mom, there is someone who is very difficult to deal with and may cause you a lot of trouble.”

"who is it?"

"He is the second son of Big Mom and the second brother of my wife Chiffon. He possesses extremely terrifying strength, and he even has Conqueror's Haki. It can be said that his status in the Big Mom Pirates is second only to Big Mom."

Upon hearing this, Belial's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Who exactly is he?"

Becky said in a deep voice, "He is Big Mom's ace, the leader of the Sweet Commanders, a terrifying figure with a bounty of one billion, his name is..."

"Charlotte Katakuri!"

"Exactly."

"Looks like a big shot has arrived."

Katakuri silently looked at Belial and said, "I guessed you would come, but I didn't expect you to dare to come in all by yourself. Do you think you're that strong?"

Belial smiled upon hearing this, and a layer of red light gradually appeared on his body. He said, "Whether it's strong or not, you'll know once you try!" With that, he unleashed three light blades with a single claw strike.

Katakuri's eyes flashed red, and then the light blade passed right through Katakuri's body without causing any damage.

"what!"

A creamy substance appeared on the surface of the hole in Katakuri's body before gradually healing. Katakuri coldly said, "I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible. You can't beat me."

Katakuri then stomped on the ground, sending a giant rock flying, and then kicked the rock at Belial.

Belial raised his hand and tore it apart, then flew towards Katakuri like lightning.

A punch was aimed at Katakuri's abdomen, but the punch passed right through Katakuri's body like it was hitting cream, without causing any damage.

"How can this be?"

Katakuri kicked Belial over and raised his earth dragon to stab Belial.

Belial raised his hand and struck the earth dragon twice with his hand blades, finding two gaps in the dragon's defenses. Katakuri then exerted force, sending Belial flying.

Katakuri said, "I told you, you can't beat me. Just admit defeat."

Belial laughed dismissively and said, "The word 'admit defeat' doesn't exist in my dictionary!" He then took out the Ultimate Blade and the Dark Cloth.

Katakuri said indifferently, "Hmph, stubborn fool." He picked up the Earth Dragon and charged towards Belial, who in turn charged towards Katakuri.

The earth dragon and the double-edged sword clashed, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

The two then launched into a flurry of attacks, their swords flashing and spears clashing, leaving the onlookers dazzled.

Belial unleashed a horizontal slash at Katakuri with his Dark Cloth, but it had no effect, just like before. After Katakuri recovered, he used Earth Dragon to launch Belial into the air.

Belial had barely landed and regained his footing when Katakuri leaped forward, his left hand enveloped in Armament Haki, and threw a punch at Belial.

Belial hurriedly used his two swords to block, but the powerful impact still sent him sliding several meters.

Before Belial could recover, Katakuri summoned a giant fist that slammed Belial into the ground.

"Looks like you're not all that great either. The new world isn't for arrogant kids like you to run wild."

"Well done, Katakuri-nii-san!"

At this moment, a tall, slender woman with white skin and green hair, wearing a large sun hat, said, "Katakuri, don't kill him. Don't forget what Mom told us."

"I know."

Mondor asked, "What are you talking about, Sister Armand?"

"Boom."

At this moment, Belial emerged from the pit and brushed off the dust.

Montor said in shock, "That guy, he took a heavy punch from Katakuri, and he can still stand up."

Armand said, "He's definitely not an ordinary person."

Belial shook his hand, looking at Katakuri and the others in front of him. Dark red light gathered in his right hand.

Seeing this, Katakuri's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Danger! Get out of the way!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Desium Ray burst forth, hurtling towards Katakuri and the others.

Katakuri and his men managed to dodge in time, but their subordinates were blown to pieces, a gruesome sight.

Beria moved his arm, and the light swept across other places.

Wherever the Desium Ray touched, the ground was scorched, and the subordinates brought by Katakuri and others were also routed.

Mondor urgently called Becky, ordering them to fire artillery shells in support.

Several subsequent shells hit Beria squarely.

Katakuri and the others were finally able to catch their breath. Katakuri looked at his men, who were in a terrible state amidst the scorched earth, and he realized that Belial was no arrogant brat.

"We really underestimated him with such terrifying strength," Armand said, sweating profusely.

Emerging from the smoke, Belial, his body crackling with lightning, slowly walked out. Looking at the pirates who had been utterly routed, he laughed, "You bastards, how does that feel now?"

"Damn it, this..."

Before Mondor could finish speaking, Katakuri stopped him, saying, "You all step back. You are no match for him. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Furthermore, this is a battle between him and me; you should not interfere."

After saying that, Katakuri walked forward and said, "I underestimated you a bit earlier, but that won't change the outcome."

"That's not something you can decide."

"So what? Your attacks have no effect on me."

"is it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Belial appeared before Katakuri like a red lightning bolt. Katakuri, shocked, used Armament Haki to defend himself.

Beria laughed and said, "What's wrong? Why did it work this time? Or did you not have time to predict?"

Upon hearing this, Katakuri's eyes widened in shock.

"I already know. Your so-called ineffectiveness was just using your Observation Haki to predict my attack trajectory and then changing your body shape, right?"

"As long as I'm fast enough, even if you can predict it, so what!"

After saying that, Belial suddenly exerted his strength, sending Katakuri flying dozens of meters. Just as Katakuri was about to fall to the ground, his eyes flashed, and he unleashed a powerful force, performing a backflip and landing on the ground.

"Katakuri-nii, actually..."

Montor and the others could hardly believe their eyes; their proud brother Katakuri had actually suffered a setback.

Katakuri took a deep breath and looked at Belial calmly, saying, "You've already done a remarkable job to discover this about me."

Belial smiled without saying a word. It was actually Bege who told him this: Katakuri had over-trained in Observation Haki and even gained the ability to see a short portion of the future.

"But so what? Your power probably won't last long."

After saying that, Katakuri charged towards Belial, and Belial charged towards Katakuri without hesitation.

Their fists collided, and they unleashed a barrage of punches like a hail of bullets, the intense pressure even crushing nearby rocks.

At this moment, Montor shouted, "Beria, I advise you to stop, otherwise, your companions will be in grave danger!"

"what?"

"boom!"

After a gunshot, Belial was wrapped in a large net and transformed back into human form. He was then blasted away by Katakuri's attack and crashed heavily to the ground more than ten meters away, losing consciousness.

"That's great, we won."

At this moment, the twelfth son of the logistics unit, Nusteldi, said, "No matter how powerful you are, you can't withstand the Seastone bullets."

"What are you doing!" Katakuri suddenly shouted. "Didn't I tell you to step back? Who gave you permission to interfere!"

Katakuri would never allow anyone to interfere in his battles with opponents he considered worthy of fighting, nor would he need the superficial cover of using allies to blackmail a respectable adversary.

Armand felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Katakuri's gaze, but he composed himself and said, "I'm sorry, Katakuri-nii, but this is Mom's order."

Hearing this, Katakuri calmed down slightly, walked past them and said, "Take care of him, then take that guy away. This is the last time; I won't need this kind of superficial cover in my battles from now on."

"understood."

The group bound Belial tightly and put him in the car, then drove towards BIG MOM's residence.

What they didn't notice was that a barely perceptible smile appeared on Beria's lips.
