----------

The Colosseum, a new arena.

"!!!"

Daichi and Katakuri charged at each other, their Haki-infused fists colliding, and a powerful impact swept across the arena.

Their burning gazes met!

If they maintained their Groudon Form and future sight, the battle would drag on indefinitely until one of them could no longer hold on.

But deciding victory through a war of attrition held little meaning for either of them, so both understood the signal the other was sending.

Katakuri shed his disguise, revealing his true self to Daichi, and abandoned future sight.

Daichi likewise responded, retracting his Groudon Form, intent on a pure contest of strength and Haki.

Only by stepping out of one's comfort zone can one move forward!

"Ooooh!!!"

Daichi's eyes widened in fury, his entire body steaming with muscle. A surge of violent power erupted, pushing away Katakuri's fist while his own fist slammed into Katakuri's left cheek!

It hit!

Katakuri's head snapped back. The area struck was covered in Armament Haki, and thick veins bulged in his neck as he straightened his head against Daichi's fist.

"Buzz Cut Mochi!"

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

"Ooooh!!!"

Both men, like enraged demons, roared and attacked wildly. As their fists landed on the opponent, they themselves were also taking hits.

Blood continuously splattered onto the ground!

The Underground Emperors and the ministers of Totto Land successively climbed up, peeking out with half their heads to secretly observe Daichi and Katakuri's duel.

"These two have changed their fighting style!"

Although they didn't know why, the intensity of the battle now was no less than before, perhaps even more brutal.

Punch after punch, the injuries on both of them increased visibly, and the intensity of the battle was also gradually escalating.

"Power Mochi!"

"Fire Pledge!"

A massive awakened fist punched out but was pierced by a pillar of lava rising from the ground. Amidst a dazzling light, the mochi-formed arm was blown to pieces.

"Pfft!"

Katakuri grunted. In his awakened state, his twin arms were extensions of his body. Although he wouldn't be truly injured, the pain of his arm being shattered wouldn't disappear.

But this pain couldn't make him waver in the slightest.

More and more donuts appeared!

"Mochi Cluster!"

Block-like arms extended from all the donuts, launching a fierce assault on Daichi, leaving countless afterimages between the two!

"Ooooh!!!"

"Spike Armor!"

Daichi curled into a ball like a pangolin, his body enveloped in a red shell, while numerous black, Haki-infused spikes emerged from the shell!

Absolute Defense Stance!

When his body was hit, the spikes, tens of times harder than steel, instantly pierced through Katakuri's mochi fists.

All the mochi fists scattered, and Daichi was also blasted to the edge of the arena.

"Spike Lava Chariot!"

Daichi's entire body glowed red, his surface appearing covered in a layer of magma, even the spikes on his body turned a searing orange-red.

His curled body spun violently, rushing towards Katakuri at extreme speed!

With his straightforward attack method, even without using future sight, Katakuri could easily dodge, but when he counterattacked, his fists were both burned and pushed away.

Unable to touch!

Daichi spun at high speed, circled half the arena, then charged at Katakuri again, leaping high as he approached.

Katakuri gasped, pulled out his trident from his wrist, and spun at full speed, thrusting it towards Daichi in the sky.

"Mochi Thrust!"

"Sizzle~ Sizzle sizzle~~~"

The trident struck the spinning Daichi, creating a shower of sparks!

But the next moment, the spinning spike chariot suddenly opened, and Daichi's bent body, like a beast's gaping maw, lunged at Katakuri!

"What?!"

Katakuri's face changed drastically. This sudden change clearly exceeded his understanding, but his rich combat experience allowed him to make a quick judgment.

He still held his weapon!

The trident thrust towards Daichi's chest!

"Ugh!"

Daichi twisted his body, his abdomen pierced by the trident. He grunted, then continued his pounce, his body arched forward as he "swallowed" the Katakuri below into his abdomen.

His entire body's muscles rapidly contracted, squeezing Katakuri within his embrace.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible!

"Pfft!"

Katakuri spat out a mouthful of blood, countless bones in his body shattered, and his body, squeezed into a ball, couldn't exert any strength at all.

It was like being in a gradually shrinking box.

But Daichi's attack wasn't over. Spikes extended from his body, piercing into Katakuri's body.

"Hell's Prison: Iron Maiden!"

"Ahhh!!!"

Accompanied by screams, a large amount of blood overflowed from Daichi's curled body.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

"Katakuri!"

Just as everyone thought Katakuri had been defeated, a bloody mochi mass squeezed out from the gaps, escaping like a long snake.

"Hoo~~ Hoo~~"

Katakuri returned to human form, kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. His entire body was covered in bloody holes, staining him red.

Daichi also stretched out his body and stood up with a stagger. A trident was embedded in his bloody waist and abdomen, with only a section of the handle exposed.

Behind him, the tip of the trident continuously dripped blood.

"Pfft!"

Daichi pulled out the trident and tossed it aside.

His eyes gleamed with fire.

Compared to his own condition, Katakuri's injuries were more severe, and he had lost too much blood. He wouldn't last much longer; the next move should decide the victor.

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

The charge was sufficient!

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

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

"Indeed."

Katakuri's eyes glowed red, and bloody heatwaves emanated from his entire body, like a demon returned from hell.

The two walked towards each other again, brushed past each other, arriving at opposite ends of the arena, then simultaneously turned around. Without a word, both simultaneously charged towards the other.

Katakuri's right arm swelled and enlarged, his forearm covered in sharp spikes like a bludgeon, concentrating all his Haki.

Daichi similarly raised his right claw. The magma-like patterns on it emitted a scorching glow, as if he were wielding a Precipice Blades!

"Ooooh!!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

"Cutting Mochi!"

"Precipice Blades: Split!"

Accompanied by a blinding white light, the battle concluded. The Colosseum, along with the mountain beneath it, split into two halves, a massive crack extending all the way to both ends of the island.

The island, split apart!

At the center of the battlefield, Katakuri lay beside the enormous crack.

Daichi stood nearby.

Victor: Daichi.
