<><><><><><>

Even if this Marine Vice Admiral named Issho wasn't as powerful as the rumors suggested, his strength was undeniably impressive, at least on par with an elite Marine Vice Admiral. 

When Cracker saw his formidable Biscuit Soldiers being easily destroyed in front of so many people, he couldn't save face. 

Raising his longsword, he pointed it at Issho and bellowed, "You blind Marine! You're strong, I'll give you that, but you're qualified to die by my blade."

Issho, unfazed by Cracker's provocation, calmly replied, "You should worry about yourself first—don't end up dead before this blind man does."

Cracker didn't immediately sense anything was wrong. However, Katakuri, with his highly advanced observation, Haki noticed something was off. 

He turned and saw a young man in a Marine Vice Admiral's uniform standing behind Cracker. In this situation, who else could it be but Byakuya?

Just as Cracker was about to strike Issho, a cold voice came behind him: "Your mouth stinks, and I hate foul mouths."

Katakuri's eyes widened in alarm. "Cracker, watch your back!"

But it was too late. Cracker felt a terrifying force strike his waist. 

The impenetrable biscuit armor covering his body shattered instantly, revealing his true form beneath. 

He was launched into the sky with a single kick in the blink of an eye. 

The onlookers stared in stunned silence, unable to comprehend what had happened.

As Cracker soared higher, he felt as if the sheer force of the attack was tearing his body apart. Blood spurted uncontrollably from his mouth. 

"Damn it, what's happening?"

At that moment, a figure in a white Marine uniform appeared beside him in mid-air. 

Seeing the familiar face, Cracker trembled and stammered, "Y-you're Byakuya!?"

With a wicked smile, Byakuya responded, "Congratulations, you guessed right. Here's your prize: a high-speed descent experience card."

Cracker didn't hesitate. Activating his Devil Fruit awakening, he summoned layers of dark blue biscuit armor around himself. 

These biscuits were far harder than his usual creations, comparable to steel. This was his ultimate defensive technique.

But Byakuya seemed entirely uninterested in the fortified biscuit armor. 

Raising his right leg, he delivered a devastating whip kick to Cracker's chest. 

The supposedly indestructible layers of armor crumbled like toys, shattering on impact. 

Cracker was sent hurtling downward like a cannonball, leaving shockwaves in his wake.

The speed of his descent was so fast that it seemed like he was a meteor engulfed in flames. 

Watching this, Katakuri frowned deeply and muttered, "Damn it!" 

His hands transformed into sticky mochi, extending to form a large mochi net to catch Cracker.

However, when Cracker crashed into the mochi net, the residual force was so immense that even Katakuri stumbled, nearly falling over. 

"If just the aftermath of that attack is this terrifying, then Cracker, who took two direct hits..." Katakuri thought grimly as he pulled Cracker to safety.

Cracker was horrifying—his eyes rolled back, his face pale, and blood streaming from every pore of his body. 

His entire figure was drenched in crimson. 

The most shocking sight was his body, twisted into an unnatural V-shape, with all the bones above his waist shattered. 

He was barely alive, and if Katakuri hadn't used his Devil Fruit ability to catch him, Cracker would have been killed outright by Byakuya's kicks.

If Issho's earlier display of power had surprised the crowd, then Byakuya's attack instilled pure terror. 

To cripple a pirate of Cracker's caliber with just two moves—this was a feat reserved for those on the level of Marine Admirals. 

Byakuya's overwhelming strength was the foundation of his arrogance.

Even after seriously injuring Cracker, Byakuya stood nonchalantly on Katakuri's ship, completely unfazed by the presence of the Big Mom Pirates' strongest forces. 

Katakuri, furious at the sight of the barely-breathing Cracker, handed him to Smoothie.

"Vice Admiral Byakuya, do you think so little of the Big Mom Pirates? Do you believe the Charlotte Family can be trifled with?" Katakuri growled.

Byakuya shrugged. "Are you not to be trifled with?"

He held back from saying what he truly wanted: 'Haven't I already toyed with the Big Mom Pirates enough? Your mother is still bedridden recovering from our last encounter.'

The tension between Byakuya and Katakuri grew thicker as their confrontation escalated. 

The crowd watching from the sidelines grew more excited. While Cracker was strong but still a step below his elder brother. 

Katakuri was undoubtedly the strongest combatant in the Big Mom Pirates after Big Mom herself. 

Byakuya's earlier performance had already proven his immense strength, and a battle between him and Katakuri promised to be nothing short of spectacular—perhaps even rivaling the much-anticipated duel between Byakuya and Mihawk.

Meanwhile, not far away, Marco and Ace, aboard their ship, recognized the figure on Katakuri's vessel. Marco frowned deeply and sighed. 

"That guy's strength is like a bottomless abyss. You think you've trained enough to defeat him, but when you fight him, you realize how powerless you still are."

Turning to Ace, Marco asked, "Do you truly believe your current strength is enough to challenge him and avenge what happened at Fish-Man Island?"

Ace remained silent for a moment, hesitating before his eyes grew resolute. "I want to try!"

Marco looked at him, a hint of sadness in his eyes that quickly disappeared. He patted Ace's shoulder and said, "We'll back you up."

Jozu and Vista simultaneously said, "The four of us will take him on together!"

Ace nodded firmly. "Alright!"

However, Ace had no idea what kind of consequences his simple statement, "I want to try," would bring. 

At this age, Ace only understood the thrill of vengeance and the need to repay grudges without contemplating the broader implications.

As Katakuri and Byakuya's confrontation was on the verge of erupting, Katakuri activated his advanced Observation Haki to glimpse a brief moment of Byakuya's future. 

But in that instant, his face turned pale, and cold sweat drenched the back of his shirt. 

His Observation Haki couldn't predict Byakuya's future—a phenomenon Katakuri had only encountered once.

The last person he couldn't predict was "Night," the enigmatic leader of the Night Organization who had gravely injured Big Mom. 

Wait a second… Byakuya? Night? Katakuri's eyes snapped to Byakuya, who wore an enigmatic smile on his face.

"Could it be…" Katakuri's heart was filled with shock. If Byakuya truly was Night, the implications were terrifying. 

The mysterious leader of the Night Organization, turning out to be a Marine Vice Admiral, would send shockwaves across the entire ocean if this information got out.

While Katakuri was reeling from this realization, his observation was that Haki suddenly picked up faint images of Byakuya. 

This confused Katakuri—had he been mistaken? Yet before he could delve further, the Byakuya in the vision spoke:

"I have high hopes for you, so I'm giving you a bit of consideration by revealing my identity." 

"Make sure to keep your younger siblings in check and stop them from seeking death. If there's another incident like Cracker, I won't hold back next time."

"And if my identity is exposed, I'll bring the Night Organization and wipe out the entire Big Mom Pirates—every single one of you." 

"When I say I'll kill your entire family, I mean it. That includes you and Big Mom herself. You know I have the strength to back my words."

As Byakuya's words echoed in Katakuri's mind, the vision shattered as though it had never existed. Katakuri stared at Byakuya, astonished. 

The man managed to use Katakuri's own observation, Haki, to deliver a direct warning. What kind of ability was this?

Reflecting on the killing intent in Byakuya's final words, Katakuri couldn't help but shiver. 

He did not doubt Byakuya's power or resolve to carry out his threats.

From the perspective of onlookers, Byakuya hadn't made a move, yet Katakuri's expression was that of someone who had seen a ghost. 

He trembled uncontrollably as though he had witnessed the most horrifying thing imaginable.

Smoothie asked worriedly, "Katakuri, are you all right?"

Katakuri took a deep breath to process the shock Byakuya had inflicted on him and slowly shook his head. "I'm fine."

What happened next left everyone dumbfounded. Katakuri bowed deeply and apologized to Byakuya. 

"This was our mistake. We're willing to compensate for all losses."

"Katakuri!" Smoothie and Snag called out in unison, astonished.

"Shut up!" Katakuri roared. "This matter will be handled my way!"

Smoothie and Snag saw Katakuri scolding them harshly for the first time in their lives. They were left speechless.

Byakuya glanced at Katakuri and said nonchalantly, "In that case, your ships' toll fees will be increased tenfold."

"Understood. I accept." Katakuri's unusually respectful tone baffled everyone. No one could comprehend the sudden shift in his attitude.

After resolving matters with Katakuri, Byakuya disappeared in a flash and reappeared aboard Marco's ship. 

His eyes locked onto Marco and a visibly irritated Ace. Byakuya flashed a smug, provoking smile.

"So, will you pay the tenfold fee, or should I beat you all half to death and have Whitebeard himself bring ten times your bounty to reclaim you?"

Byakuya's words were even more audacious than Ace and Snag's earlier statements, but he had the strength to back his arrogance.

Ace's hands ignited with scorching flames as he declared firmly, "I choose to beat you half to death!"

"Oh, what terrifying flames," Byakuya said mockingly, feigning fear. "I might just get burned to death."

Despite his playful words, his hand rested on the sword's hilt. 

If Ace truly lost his composure, Byakuya had no qualms about igniting a war akin to the Summit War.

At that moment, a commanding voice echoed from the distance.

"Vice Admiral Byakuya, how about giving me some face and letting this matter go?"
