This Minister of Flour becomes the member of Big Mom Pirates, eventually rising above the ranks and adopting the title of a Sweet Commander.

In the Whole Cake Island Arc, Katakuri is given the responsibility to capture Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. His impassioned battle with Luffy occurs in Mirro-World leads him to admire his opponent due to his perseverance and growth as a fighter. Nonetheless, Katakuri is defeated by the Straw Hat Pirate. Also, he realises his rival’s potency to be a future King Pirate.
