Just as the Marines decided to focus their attention on Kronos and Whitebeard...
The Kamui Pirates had already entered the waters near Honeycomb Island—only one kilometer away from their destination.
In less than half an hour, the Angel of Redemption would officially arrive on the island and confront the Whitebeard Pirates.
Obviously, they were about to go up against the man known as the strongest in the world. Yet, the crew of the Kamui Pirates were all incredibly excited!
"Are we finally going to fight Whitebeard? Hahaha! I've been looking forward to this!"
Uchiha Madara stood with arms akimbo, full of fighting spirit as always. He couldn't wait to land on Honeycomb Island.
Senju Hashirama, ever willing to go along with Madara's madness, nodded in agreement.
"I'm looking forward to this battle as well. That pirate crew is packed with powerful fighters—it's practically overflowing with talent."
Jigoro Kuwajima (Ji Guoyuanyi) remained silent but quietly wondered to himself:
"I wonder if there's a swordsman there worth my blade?"
Bang Gu (Silver Fang from One Punch Man) began doing warm-up exercises, clearly ready to fight at a moment's notice.
The crew was bursting with anticipation!
They didn't fear the Whitebeard Pirates—not in the slightest.
To the rest of the world, Whitebeard and his pirate crew were like demons—monsters of the sea.
But to the Kamui Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates were nothing more than defeated men of the past. They weren't even worth taking seriously.
During the recent Summit War, it was the Kamui Pirates who had ambushed the Whitebeard Pirates, inflicting massive casualties.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them utterly defeated.
After all, who had really emerged victorious?
Staring out at the deep blue sea in the distance, Kronos suddenly had a flash of inspiration—he thought of a brilliant tactic.
"Katakuri," he called.
"I've got a mission for you."
"I hope you can pull it off."
Katakuri, who had been standing silently with his usual grim expression, instantly froze. His face changed slightly.
What did Kronos mean by this?
Why was he suddenly giving him a mission?
The rest of the crew were also confused. What kind of task was so special that only Katakuri could do it?
Kronos smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers.
"Wait."
"You're going in first. Head to Honeycomb Island alone. Got it?"
Katakuri was no fool. On the contrary, he was known for his intelligence and sharp instincts. After just a moment's thought, he fully understood what Kronos was getting at.
He sucked in a sharp breath of cold air—he almost passed out.
Good grief.
Kronos was too cunning!
He was using him as bait!
Sending him alone to Honeycomb Island—wasn't that the same as making him a decoy to draw out the Whitebeard Pirates?
If he went in first, all of Whitebeard's forces would treat him as the main target!
At that moment, all the captains from the Whitebeard Pirates might descend on him like wild beasts!
Katakuri knew full well—none of the sixteen division commanders were pushovers!
If those elite captains joined forces, they could tear him apart multiple times over!
Not to mention... there was someone on the island whose strength rivaled his own—
Marco the Phoenix.
