Everything was in slow motion to Mori as his body had been hacked in two, he looked up into the grey night sky with a shining moon untop "So.... this is how it ends for me?", he asked himself. One of his eyes from one half of his body looked down at Pride, who was laughing his guts out as Mori's body had been split in two while in air. Although Mori couldn't hear the laughing, he was genuinely irritated by the mere manifestation of an emotion he had laughing at him "The disgusting fucker's laughing, huh? What a pain. Have I really lost my edge? Did I become so soft? Ah, what does it matter. In a few seconds, I'll be dead, and this guy would take over from where my life left off.". Mori's eyes slowly started to close up "What a pain.", he muttered to himself before everything went dark. A few years ago, when Mori was just ten years old, he was sitted beside Tendra, his father, right on a bench that was infront if their house. Mori was wrapping his hand around one of his daggers with a cloth at the moment, while Tendra just enjoyed the day with a straight look on his face. He looked at his son, using a cloth to attach a new dagger that he himself had bought for Mori as a gift "What the hell are you doing now?", Tendra asked, Mori responded as he focused intensely on what he was doing "Nothing really.". After attaching the dagger to his hand, he infused energy into them, a blue aura radiating around his palms all the way to the dagger. Mori smirked smugly "Hm! Looks neat.", Tendra tells his son in a disinterested tone while he looked at him "You could get yourself injured by doing that.", Mori tilted his head "Yeah, yeah, I know that old man. You don't have to tell me that.", Tendra muttered "Old man?", (He was only 33 years old at the moment). Tendra sighed and looked forward calmly "Mori, do you know what the most important thing are in life is?", he asked. Mori looked forward and responded "Power, money and Pride.", Tendra scoffed "You're right. You must need power first. When a person has power, money will follow suit to them. And after one has both money and power....", Tendra looked at his son with his cold blue eyes, as if asking him "Complete the sentence or I'll kill you.", Mori replied firmly and almost coldly too "Your pride as a person should always remain intact, especially when you're a Katakuri.". Tendra closed his eyes, reaffirming his son's response "Very good.", he opened up his eyes "Although, Mori. We are prideful and arrogant, but we do not let those emotions control us so easily.". Mori looked at his father with one eye while the other one was closed "Hm? What do you mean? I mean, isn't that our whole game? To make people know they're weaker than us?", Tendra took a soft breath out "Yeah, that true. But like I've told you before, Pride might be our attributes, but it would be stupid for us to make an assumption that we are better than someone else without having the power and smarts to prove it.". Mori seemed bored and said with reluctance "Yeah, yeah. We are naturally gifted than others, but we should always realise what the threat is capable off before we can assume we can win. You've told me this a lot of times.", Tendra's tone changed into slight annoyance "I could never do the kind of things you do to grandfather when I was your age, I'd be killed instantly.", Mori looked at Tendra "Well whooptydoo, dad.", Tendra sighed inwardly "Fucking kid, you take after you stupid mom.". Tendra then proceeded to tell Mori "Back then, when I was just sixteen years old, I almost died in a war fighting for Kagahara. It was a devastating war, one that made it's sole idea to make the soldiers from both sides realize that it was the end.", Mori said to his dad with a flat tone "Really? You almost got killed before you were a registered adult? At least you should have layed with mom or some random woman to carry on your will first before diving into a war.", Tendra yelled with frustration "I TRIED OKAY? YOUR MOM WAS JUST A REAL FUCKING PAIN!", Mori yelled back "THEN WHY DID YOU END UP WITH HER?!". Tendra sighed, placing a palm on his head in dissapointment "Either way, that war gave me the ability to realise something. There are so many people who have the same ideology of pride as we Katakuri's do, all we need to do is prove it. Mori, you're a lot like me, but you let emotions get the better of you. As a future soldier, you should erase all sorts of unnecessary anger and bitterness when executing a mission. I've watched you fight before, so i know very well.", Tendra's mood and tone darkened "Emotions would get you killed, especially pride.". At this point, Mori was still in a suspended state in air as his body slowly fell apart, his dad's words echoed through his head "If you don't take control of it, it would take control of you. So make sure you grab it by the neck and show it who's boss.". After reaffirming those words, Mori thought "Yeah, that's right. Dad used to tell me that all the time, so much so that it became something I almost never forgot.". Mori started to think as his body glowed with blue energy "Yeah, I understand it now.", he looked at Pride once more "Grab Pride by the neck and show it who's boss.", his body slowly started to get taken over by his blue energy that resembled blue flames "I can very much do that!". Pride yelled with mad joy "DIE! MORI KATAKURI!", Mori's body that turn to two had suddenly reattached itself together "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ORDERING AROUND? YOU DAMN EMOTION!", Mori's voice growled with dominance and command. Pride was immediately confused, and without a moment to spear, Mori's body flowed with a dangerous amount of blue power, shooting all over the place "IM GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER RUN THAT DAMN MOUTH OF YOURS EVER AGAIN!". He stretched his hand to the side "SPECIAL TECHNIQUE: GOD CUTTER!", Pride's arms suddenly got cut off without him fully knowing so until his hands had been sliced off. His eyes widened "Whaaa?", an explosion of blue flashes shot out of the space his arm was once attached to. Pride was utterly confused "NO! THIS CANT BE!", he panicked. Mori was in the air, a powerful amount of blue energy had formed a slim but spikey blue armour around him. His right arm was stretched out to the side, taking the shape of a long sword that stretched up to two kilometres "LIMIT BREAK: DEATH KNIGHT.".
