Chapter 882

Brulee needles Luffy by boasting that Katakuri has never once been knocked down, much to Katakuri's annoyance. When Luffy swings at her, Katakuri intercepts, hurls him into a mirror wall, and follows with his spinning trident, which Luffy barely evades. The wall erupts behind him as Katakuri threatens to dismantle him piece by piece. Worn down, Luffy notices that fighting Katakuri drains him because the man foresees his every dodge, forcing extra effort. Katakuri, equally surprised at how often his strikes miss, turns the entire Mirro-World floor into mochi.

As the mochi engulfs Luffy, he bites into his arm, and Katakuri recognizes the prelude to Gear 4. Out at sea, Brulee relays through a Den Den Mushi that the tidal wave failed to sink the Sunny, prompting Perospero to steer Big Mom toward Cacao Island, though she veers off toward Nuts Island instead. Back in Sweet City, Mont-d'Or puzzles over why the territorial sea slug network has reported nothing. Niwatori, surprised by Pedro's self-sacrifice while Pekoms mourns him, urges deploying a strong division as a last defense. Word then arrives that Custard's group has lost the Fire Tank Pirates.

Katakuri is confirmed as an awakened Devil Fruit user, and his spear is named Mogura. The Fire Tank Pirates' ship is revealed as the Nostra Castello, en route to Cacao Island. The dormant sea slugs leave the Big Mom Pirates blind to both vessels. At the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmokes crush their pursuers, and Niji, posing as Nusstorte, tricks Mont-d'Or into believing Germa 66 has fallen before Ichiji orders them to set sail. Pandaman appears among the defeated. The cover follows the XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance spotting two warring ships at sea.
