Chapter 163 - Katakuri vs Ace

Brandishing the bloody red trident Katakuri suddenly vanished from his spot.

Ace immediately jumped back to make space, but to no avail Katakuri appeared behind him and stabbed him with his trident in the shoulder.

Gnashing his teeth Ace glared at Katakuri while holding his bleeding shoulder. "Hmp! don't get c.o.c.ky just because you got lucky on stabbing me."

Katakuri smirk in disdain seeing Ace act tough. he then snapped his finger and walked back towards his throne.

Ace seeing Katakuri ignoring him was about to attack when suddenly he felt weak and suddenly fainted.

"Ace!"

Luffy shouted seeing Ace faint and immediately went towards him.

"Ace! are you okay? what happened? Hey!" Luffy said while shaking Ace's body.

"This.."

Tesoro and Sentinel were shocked seeing Ace defeated in just a short time.

Tesoro smiled wearily and looked at Seth "Boss, This guy just became stronger. I dont think that I can even defeat him anymore."

Patting his Vice-Captain's shoulder Seth smiled widely while looking at Katakuri who was now back at his throne.

"Hehehe, I think it would be nice if Katakuri will rebel so that I can have a chance to fight him seriously."

Tesoro shook his head hearing his Captain speaking nonsense, he knew that his Captain was getting bored because there was no one who can make him fight seriously anymore except for that man behind the Celestial bastards.

While the 2 emperors were fighting there was a human shaped bird who was trembling in excitement while holding his notebook.

"This is big news! big news! cuuuuckooocoooocooo!"

Katakuri who was currently seated with his legs crossed immediately stood up and bowed.

Seeing Katakuri's bizarre reaction the strawhats and charlotte family was puzzled when suddenly they saw 3 people descending towards Katakuri.

"It's the Big Boss!" Oven said and immediately went towards Seth and bowed. the other Charlotte family members followed behind Oven.

Seth nodded at them and sat on Katakuri's throne.

"That was a boring fight Katakuri, why did you finish so fast? are you also like that with your wife?" Seth asked curiously.

Katakuri was sweating hearing this while a brunette who was standing beside Katakuri was blushing.

The brunette then pinched Katakuri's waist in annoyance, Katakuri winced in pain but fought hard not to show it.

Seth laughed seeing this "No need to feel shy Viola, I was just jocking no need to get angry at Katakuri."

Viola bowed at Seth and said "I dare not get angry at my loving husband Emperor Seth."

"That is good.."

Seth was about to continue speaking when suddenly Viola spoke again.

"Emperor Seth my niece and the princess of dressrosa Rebecca is still waiting for your reply about the marriage."

*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*

Two beautiful woman arrived beside Seth holding his arms glaring at Viola.

Seth the powerful Emperor immediately sweated and silently cursed Viola (This wife of Katakuri's surely knows how to retaliate haysss)

"Hehehe, about that matter it would be best to let my lovely wives decide about that." Seth said while showing his "strong" presence as an Emperor.

Viola nodded "This subordinate understands."

"Hmp! let me tell you that my husband won't be marrying another woman ever." Nami said while holding Seth's left arm.

"Nami's right, so I would like for you to persuade your little princess to drop the matter about the marriage thing." Robin said with a smile.

Seeing that sparks were flying between the 3 ladies Tesoro cough and stepped between them.

"Ladies, please mind your manners the Emperor is currently here."

Seth gave Tesoro a grateful look and cleared his throat, he then turned his attention towards Luffy.

"Monkey, you still want to fight Katakuri?"

Luffy paused for a moment then glance at his brother and shook his head.

"Nah! I pass on this one, I know that I'm not strong enough. I already fought Katakuri numerous times and thought that I can finally defeat him. but, when I saw how he defeated Ace so easily I realized that I'm still not capable of defeating Katakuri." Luffy said with a serious face.

Seth smiled because Luffy has now m.a.t.u.r.ed not unlike his former self that doesn't even know how to back down, maybe his training under me finally made him a little smarter.
