One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 686 Despair in an instant

The decision must be made in an instant.

Katakuri is not an indecisive person.

He knew what he had to protect.

He made a choice that Yamato had not anticipated.

During the stalemate, he expended less effort.

Then, Yamato's spiked club struck him mercilessly.

It's different from the beginning.

This time, Yamato's spiked club was imbued with a powerful aura.

Even for Katakuri, facing this head-on would be extremely difficult.

However, Katakuri has reasons to "accept it entirely".

He needs to save his younger brother.

He temporarily escaped Yamato's entanglement at the cost of injury.

This was unexpected by Yamato.

Her hammer blow sent Katakuri closer to Montor.

Despite his own injuries, Katakuri immediately rescued Mondor.

"elder brother!"

Mondor stared blankly at his brother's bleeding wound.

I don't know what to say.

And it was also because the scarf that my brother had been wearing fell off.

This was also the first time he had seen his brother's true face.

It's hard to describe.

A fishman's mouth.

Its fangs are sharp.

Ugly.

This was Mondor's first reaction.

Is this what my older brother looks like?

"I'm sorry to show you this imperfect side of me. I'm not as perfect as you think! But please forgive me, Montord, I really tried my best this time."

Katakuri's voice sounded weak.

There was also a sense of helplessness involved.

Yamato's attack just now really caused him great harm.

Even so, he checked Mondor's wounds immediately.

His family must not be harmed.

Everything he did was for them.

You can't beat me.

Yamato sighed.

She didn't react in any particular way to Katakuri's appearance.

After all, she was someone who was extremely insensitive to human faces.

She has something else she cares about more.

"You do have the qualities of a soldier, but you are distracted by many things."

Yamato offered this assessment.

He clearly possesses numerous skills.

However, it was crushed by external forces.

Even I can see it.

"Without strength, nothing can be saved."

Yamato thought of the past.

I am a living example.

No matter what, it cannot save Wano Country.

Yamato does understand Katakuri's protection.

Rather, she always believed that Katakuri was being severely suppressed.

After a glimmer of hope appears, it is quickly suppressed again.

Clearly, aspirations can help one grow.

Here, however, it has a counterproductive effect.

To this, Yamato could only shake his head.

Because the result is already quite obvious.

But perhaps that's exactly what Garrett wanted!

It's because he wanted to distract Katakuri so that he could win more easily!

Although it wasn't explicitly stated.

But that's what she must be thinking.

Although she was a little annoyed, Yamato knew that she still had things to do.

Because Katakuri's eyes showed he hadn't given up.

"Let's continue!"

"I don't care, but can you still hold on?"

"certainly!!!"

Katakuri still did not back down.

It seems the same as before.

However, what happened next shocked the two of them.

Sometimes, despair can strike in an instant.

It turns out that people can lose precious things without even realizing it.

Despair is such a profound thing.

That was Katakuri's first reaction upon seeing his sister's corpse.

And it wasn't just one.

There are many.

The body fell from the sky.

Like a withered leaf.

However, due to gravity, the body that fell turned into a cracked watermelon.

Blood plasma was everywhere.

His chest remained completely still.

There was no sound during the fall.

died.

really dead.

For a moment, Katakuri didn't know how to accept this fact.

Because the cold corpse was right in front of them.

He can't even deceive himself.

Just now, a group of people fell from a height of hundreds of meters.

It's as absurd as rain falling on a sunny day.

It appeared suddenly, and suddenly left a large amount of bloodstains on the ground.

At that moment, reason was crumbling.

Katakuri sensed that something was about to emerge.
