Pirates: Rush to the Peak

Thousands of miles away, in the prison cell of Ark Maxim, Katakuri was lying on the ground, his limbs tightly wrapped with seastone chains and locked to the four corners of the cell.

His brows were furrowed and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"mom!"

Katakuri suddenly woke up, sat up with a frown on his face, and felt waves of pain all over his body, especially his head. He felt like his head was about to split open.

"Blood Blade!"

Katakuri closed his eyes and breathed heavily. After a few minutes, he felt his head was better and opened his eyes to look around.

"Clatter, clatter."

The chains on his body kept making noises as he turned, and Katakuri then realized that he was covered in shackles. As soon as he exerted force, a feeling of weakness came from his limbs.

Katakuri struggled to his feet and pulled the chains twice.

"Blood Blade! Blood Blade!!!"

Katakuri roared twice, and Eneel, who was eating food on the deck, twitched his ears twice.

"Brother, Katakuri is awake."

Kuro took an animal leg and ate it all in just a few bites, not even leaving the bones.

"You woke up so soon? It seems that the voltage of the lightning just now was not enough."

"If he were any bigger I could electrocute him to death."

Eneel quickly argued that his lightning was not weak, and the reason Katakuri could wake up so quickly was because of his good physical fitness.

Kuro looked at Enel and pouted, he was just being stubborn all day long.

"Brother, don't you go check on that guy? He kept calling your name after he woke up."

"No hurry, my most important task now is to eat. The last slash consumed too much domineering energy. If I don't eat something to replenish it, I will fall asleep soon."

Kuro said as he took two more plates of meat and started eating, quickly finishing all the food in front of him.

"Fire Bull! Where's the food? Food!!!"

Kuro looked at the empty plate in front of him, turned around and shouted loudly towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Huo Niu was holding two large pots, one for stewing meat and the other for roasting pork steaks. Hearing Kuro's voice, Huo Niu hurriedly told the crew members next to him to watch the fire, and he ran to the table and picked up the huge amount of fried rice on it.

"Captain, here we come! Here we come!"

"Special wild boar fried rice, please enjoy!"

As soon as Huoniu put down the fried rice, Kuro snatched it away, picked up the chopsticks and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Huoniu smiled with satisfaction when he saw Kuro eating, then turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

An hour later, the deck was filled with plates of all sizes, and Kuro was lying on the deck with his belly bulging like a mountain.

"Burp~Burp~Burp~~~~"

Kuro kept burping, blood-colored energy emerging from his body. He took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up, and then he slowly exhaled. The mountain in his stomach quickly disappeared, and the wounds on his body healed quickly.

"Ah~ I'm alive again!"

Kuro sat up, patted his belly with his right hand, and looked at the crew with a smile.

"Captain, you've eaten a quarter of the food on the ship in one breath."

Huo Niu said in surprise, holding a cup of hot tea.

"I can't help it. My body is overdrawn. If I don't eat this way, I won't be able to make up for it."

Kuro looked helpless, and Enel beside him was scratching his ears with his fingers.

"Brother, go check on Katakuri. He's too noisy. He's been yelling your name nonstop since he woke up."

Eneel wanted to give Katakuri a divine punishment, but was afraid of damaging the boat, and his tone was full of annoyance.

"Well, let's go and see what that guy is going to do."

Kuro stood up from the deck, walked to the iron door on the side of the cabin, opened the door, and revealed a passage extending downwards.

Kuro walked down slowly, and just halfway down he heard Katakuri's roar.

"Blood Blade, come out!"

"Blood Blade, where are you?"

"Stop shouting. If you keep shouting for a while, Enelu will go crazy."

When Kuro's voice came, Katakuri immediately jumped up, and the chains on his body were stretched tight, but the chains were not torn apart anyway.

"Blood Blade!"

"Stop shouting, what do you want from me?"

Kuro came from the corridor, walked to the bars of the cell, and looked at Katakuri.

"You killed my mother, so you are going to Wan Guo now, right?"

"Yes, we are now on our way to Wan Guo."

"I am willing to lead all the remaining people to join your pirate group."

Kuro's eyes narrowed and he looked at him thoughtfully.

"You made this decision because you were afraid that I would kill your brothers and sisters."

"Yes, my mother is dead, and I have to protect my remaining brothers and sisters no matter what."

Katakuri's expression was serious. He had only one thought in his mind now, to ensure that his remaining brothers and sisters survived!

"Um……"

Kuro stroked his chin and pondered in silence. Katakuri also did not speak. Both sides fell silent.

After a while, Kuro sat down cross-legged.

"Katakuri, I can agree to your request. It doesn't matter whether I kill those guys or not, but how can you guarantee that your brothers and sisters will not betray me? After all, I killed Big Mom myself."

"To you, I am the enemy who killed my mother."

Katakuri had been deliberately not thinking about this matter, but now that Kuro brought it up, Katakuri's face instantly became gloomy.

Looking at Kuro with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Haha, I like the look in your eyes. If you can even forget the revenge for your mother's murder, then there is no need for you to live."

After Kuro finished speaking, he pulled out the Budōmimori. Energy surged in his body and the Budōmimori was immediately awakened.

"Om~"

Butu Mitsumihara opened his eyes and a blood-red light shone into Katakuri's eyes. Katakuri immediately wanted to resist, but his domineering aura was weakened by seastone and he could not use it.

Katakuri could only watch the flash of blood, close his eyes, and his consciousness was sucked into the space of murderous intent.

When Katakuri opened his eyes again, he found himself in another space. Katakuri suddenly found that the chains on his body were gone.

"Isn't it weird?"

Kuro suddenly appeared behind Katakuri. Katakuri exploded instantly, turned quickly and stabbed Kuro's head with his right fist!

"bump!"

Kuro raised his hand and grabbed Katakuri's fist, with the corner of his mouth rising.

"You guys change your face really quickly. You were begging me just now, and now you're attacking me."

Katakuri had a sullen face and didn't say anything. Kuro waved his hand and pushed him out. Just when Katakuri stood firm and wanted to rush up again, Kuro grabbed the air twice.

Two chains appeared out of thin air, instantly locking Katakuri's hands and pulling him into the air. Blood-colored energy rushed into Katakuri's body along the chains.

The pain that pierced his soul made Katakuri unable to help but let out a roar!

"what!!!"

"You are too impatient. I wanted to show you Big Mom."

"what are you saying?!"

Katakuri immediately struggled when he heard that. Kuro smiled and waved his hand. The scene in front of him changed rapidly and he instantly arrived in front of Big Mom's cell.

"mom!"

Looking at Big Mom who was bored and dazed in the cage in front of him, Katakuri showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

Big Mom looked up at Katakuri, pointing her right finger at herself with a puzzled expression on her face.

Katakuri was immediately confused. How could his mother not recognize him?

"What on earth is going on with Blood Blade?!"

"This is Big Mom, but it's Big Mom herself, not your mother."

"what?"

Kuro waved again, and the scenery changed again, and the two of them came to Carmelo's cell.

At this time, Carmelo's body had become much weaker. She collapsed on the ground with a weak look on her face. The air was filled with blood-colored energy that was hitting her.

Kuro pointed at Carmelo on the ground.

"Hey, this guy is your mother."

"Are you kidding me?"

Katakuri shouted angrily, and Carmelo on the ground struggled to sit up after hearing Katakuri's voice.

"Katakuri, are you here to save me?"

Carmelo was pleasantly surprised, and Katakuri became even more confused after hearing her words, and turned to look at Kuro hoping he could explain.

"What? Can't recognize it?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Blood Blade! How could this guy…"

Before Katakuri finished speaking, he suddenly saw the energy of the Soul-Soul Fruit on Garmello and his eyes widened instantly.
