Morning sunlight streamed into the nursery, glinting off polished floors and toys scattered about.
Katakuri's eyes opened, alert and calculating, every shadow and sound meticulously noted.
Tiny fingers flexed, Mochi energy humming faintly beneath his skin.
The system pinged softly: Observation Haki detected. Growth potential: 97%.
Today, a new opportunity awaited: his iconic weapon.
While scanning the nursery and adjoining rooms, Katakuri sensed something unusual—a faint aura, a lingering energy signature that didn't belong to Big Mom or the servants.
That… is a weapon.
Tiny hands reached instinctively, Mochi energy coiling subtly as he prepared for controlled interaction.
System notification: Weapon detected. Stats: Unknown. Recommended: cautious retrieval and training integration.
Katakuri's mind calculated risk and opportunity simultaneously.
Even as an infant, preparation ensures inevitability.
A servant appeared, carrying a small crate of supplies from the armory.
Inside, partially obscured by cloth, lay a scaled-down version of a trident-like weapon, glinting faintly with latent power.
Katakuri's eyes gleamed.
Tiny fingers reached out, Mochi extending softly to manipulate the cloth without detection.
The servant adjusted their grip subconsciously, unaware that the infant's tiny energy was subtly influencing their perception.
Influence without awareness… always the best tool.
The cloth slipped slightly, revealing more of the weapon.
Tiny hands grasped it delicately, testing weight and balance.
Mochi energy subtly reinforced the grip, integrating the weapon with Haki-enhanced strength.
System alert: Weapon detected: "Mochi-Integrated Trident". Recommended: gradual mastery, Armament Haki reinforcement.
Katakuri flexed tiny arms experimentally, swinging the weapon in controlled arcs.
Precision first, power later.
Tiny limbs struggled slightly under weight, but Mochi reinforcement eased strain.
Even infant muscles can adapt with proper integration.
Observation Haki monitored the servant's reaction, ensuring stealth.
The first swing: weapon extended, Mochi energy forming a semi-solid attachment to the tip.
Impact against a toy block sent it spinning harmlessly across the floor.
System ping: Mochi-Haki-Weapon integration: 10%. Strength output: 15% of potential.
Katakuri flexed tiny fingers, retracting Mochi energy.
Control is paramount… even slight errors reveal presence.
Bloodline essence subtly reinforced muscles, compensating for size.
Tiny swings repeated, each arc more precise, Mochi energy forming protective curves around the weapon's tip.
Every repetition builds both strength and technique.
System: Mochi-Haki-Weapon mastery: 15%. Observation Haki +0.07%. Armament Haki +0.08%.
Big Mom hummed from the hall, shadow stretching across the nursery.
Katakuri suppressed Haki and Mochi energy instantly, weapon held inertly in tiny hands.
She senses nothing… yet everything is cataloged.
Tiny experimentation continued once the hallway cleared.
Mochi appendages reinforced the weapon mid-swing, testing hardness, flexibility, and recoil absorption.
Even small arcs train precision and control simultaneously.
Bloodline synergy enhanced durability and reflexes.
Katakuri flexed tiny arms, swinging and retracting in precise patterns.
System ping: Mochi-Haki-Weapon mastery: 22%. Bloodline integration: 87%.
Observation Haki tracked environmental variables: toy placement, floor friction, potential servant interference.
Even the environment is training… every second counts.
Tiny fingers experimented with combining Mochi appendages with weapon strikes.
Small semi-solid spikes formed along the weapon's edge, absorbing recoil and redirecting force.
Integration perfect… precision improves rapidly.
Another sip from the Bloodline Vial subtly enhanced muscle response and endurance.
Even a fraction increases efficiency… every motion is optimized.
System: Bloodline synergy: 90%. Mochi-Haki-Weapon integration: 28%.
Tiny swings became faster, Mochi constructs forming and retracting in rhythm with each movement.
Observation Haki monitored servant attention and subtle perception cues.
Even infants can manipulate perception while training.
Katakuri envisioned future combat scenarios: dodging, parrying, striking, and controlling the battlefield.
Tiny arms moved in perfect mimicry of his mental simulations.
Even as a baby, strategic preparation is unavoidable.
Mochi appendages extended briefly, forming semi-solid defensive shields during weapon swings.
System ping: Mochi-Haki-Weapon mastery: 32%. Armament Haki +0.09%. Observation Haki +0.1%.
Bloodline essence subtly reinforced flexibility, speed, and latent destructive potential.
Tiny Katakuri flexed, swinging weapon with perfect control, Mochi energy forming precise semi-solid constructs.
Every movement, every pulse… growth is exponential.
Servants passed nearby, unaware that their actions were influenced subtly by Katakuri's tiny Conqueror Haki pulses.
Even indirect influence trains control… perception is malleable.
Tiny swings continued, toy blocks and other environmental objects used as both targets and testing points.
Mochi-Haki-Weapon integration gradually increased.
System: Integration 40%. Bloodline stability 92%. Strength output 20% potential.
Katakuri's tiny fists clenched, Mochi energy coiling around the weapon tip, ready for more complex maneuvers.
Observation Haki tracked servant reactions, floor friction, and balance, ensuring stealth and safety.
Even infants can master strategy… the body will follow.
Tiny swings became flowing sequences, integrating offense, defense, and precision control.
Bloodline synergy enhanced durability and strength with each motion.
Mochi constructs shifted instantly to compensate for recoil and enhance control.
Another sip from the Bloodline Vial, minimal but calculated, enhanced reflexes further.
System: Mochi-Haki-Weapon mastery: 45%. Observation Haki +0.12%. Armament Haki +0.11%.
Katakuri flexed tiny fingers, swinging weapon seamlessly with Mochi reinforcement.
Every motion precise, every micro-adjustment enhancing mastery and stealth simultaneously.
Even as a baby, I am a force unseen… a Yonko in preparation.
And so, the day passed—Katakuri, infant of unparalleled potential, wielding his iconic weapon, mastering Mochi-Haki integration, and subtly influencing the world around him, quietly asserting dominance and preparing for the moment when his full power would awaken.
