Chapter 935 Laxus VS Katakuri
"Kira Hoplite! I, the Hundred Beasts Pirates, accept your bet!!!"
Kaido is a pirate, a pure pirate, ambitious, cruel, ruthless, insidious and cunning. It is not wrong to use these words to describe him.
So he looked down on Whitebeard, who was obviously very powerful but was playing house on the sea with a bunch of little kids. He also looked down on Shanks, who was also very powerful but was committed to maintaining the balance of power and world stability.
But he did not look down on Big Mom. Although she also had a family, for her, the identity of son or daughter was just an extra layer of protection for the identity of "crew member", and this was a lesson he learned from the Rocks Pirates.
Kaido, who had been a trainee on the Rocks pirate ship, knew very well what would happen to an unstable and disunited pirate group when facing a major crisis.
By the time the audience came back to their senses from Kaido's challenge, the showdown in the arena was about to begin.
Perhaps in order to take the lead first, the Big Mom Pirates sent out Katakuri, the strongest person in their group besides Big Mom, in the first game.
This did not surprise Kira, so he also sent out the opponent he had prepared before, Laxus.
Originally, Laxus was not very satisfied with this arrangement, because in his opinion, as the third strongest wizard at present, judging from the high bounty, his opponent should be King of the Beasts Pirates.
But later, after some persuasion from Kira that "Kakuri is stronger than King", he reluctantly agreed to Kira's arrangement.
Katakuri, also known as 'Kataki', is 48 years old and over 5 meters tall. He is the vice-captain of the Big Mom Pirates, with a bounty of 1.057 billion Baileys. He possesses proficient three-color Haki and the ability to awaken the Devil Fruit.
Jin, also known as 'Flame Disaster ', is 47 years old, over 6 meters tall, is the vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 1.39 billion Beli, has the blood of the Lunaria clan, two-color domineering and the ability of an ancient devil fruit.
Although the bounty is lower, judging from the data panels of the two, Katakuri is undoubtedly stronger than King.
In the arena, Laxus and Katakuri stood several meters apart.
Laxus still kept his cloak on, raised his head slightly, and looked at the man in front of him who was more than twice his height, and frowned deeply.
"No matter how many times I see it, this height always annoys me!"
It's so high, and he has to look up by himself. He looks like he is at a congenital disadvantage. How can a proud and arrogant person like Laxus tolerate this?
So Laxus made a decision in his heart: "Just follow the plan and kill him as quickly as possible!"
Ding ding ding!!!
“The game begins”!!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Marcus rang the bell and announced the start of the duel.
As soon as he finished speaking, Laxus raised his hand and clenched his fist, condensing golden lightning and launching a tentative attack. He jumped up and appeared above Katakuri's head, then punched him hard!
“Thunder?!”
"Could it be the Thunder Fruit?"
"No, the 'magic' they mentioned seems to be the ability to manipulate elements, and the other party doesn't show any signs of natural magic..."
"Humph! Even if it's thunder and lightning, it's useless!"
"That's right, because Katakuri-nii is perfect! He is far more powerful than you can imagine!!!"
Watching Laxus' extremely swift movements in the arena , the pirates were not panicked at all, because they had absolute confidence in their brother, even though they knew that he was defeated by Roger who "resurrected from the dead" in the last battle.
After all, Roger is the 'Pirate King', a strong man who is at the same level as the 'Four Emperors' or even higher. His opponent should be their mother, not their brother Katakuri.
It's like if the Big Mom Pirates and the Kaido Pirates went to war, and Kaido defeated Katakuri. That would be a violation of martial ethics and bullying the weak.
Although they will be sad and regretful, they will not blame Katakuri for his defeat.
It's just that perhaps because they lost once, adding a failure to their "absolutely strong" resume, these people did not shout out arrogant words such as "never landed on their backs" and "never lost a battle".
Katakuri responded to his brothers and sisters' support with action. He tilted his tall body slightly and easily avoided Laxus' fist.
His observation Haki has reached the level of predicting the future, so he can see all of Laxus' attack routes clearly, and it is not difficult for him to avoid them in advance.
Laxus was not surprised when his move missed. He paused in the air and was about to raise his fist to attack again, but Katakuri's attack arrived first.
"Sticky Ball Stab!!" Katakuri attacked fiercely, without holding back at all.
He pulled out the trident hidden in his arms and used the power of the Mochi Mochi Fruit to create the halberd. A large number of sticky rice balls surrounded his arms, and at the same time attached the armed color domineering, turning it into a huge black weapon. With the help of rotation, it increased its penetration and destructive power, and stabbed down at Laxus from above! !
"Are you going to use weapons right away? Katakuri-nii…"
"Maybe he's angry because Brulee was captured by the enemy?"
A height of more than five meters contains enormous energy. When charged, the power of the attack is incredibly strong.
boom!!
A halberd broke through the air, producing a huge bang, and the attack fell to the ground. The arena was suddenly filled with flying stones and smoke. By the time the smoke cleared, a circular hole with a diameter of more than one meter and two or three meters deep into the ground had been left on the ground.
"What a terrible attack!!"
"If you get stabbed, you'll die..."
A group of wizards sitting in the audience were all worried for Laxus, "Too cruel! This guy is too cruel! But..."
"Did you dodge it?" Katakuri let out a deep voice from under the scarf.
At this moment, thunder suddenly sounded!
A loud shout came from behind Katakuri: "Thunder Dragon's Collapse Fist!!"
Laxus suddenly appeared in the air with a golden light, and a sharp electric sound came from his whole body. He punched Katakuri's head less than half a meter away with a powerful fist, and smashed it down hard! !
Boom! !
The violent power of thunder and lightning blasted most of Katakuri's body into glutinous rice residue, and a large amount of light yellow glutinous rice splashed into the air!
“Ehhhhhh???!!”
"That person was blasted into a sticky rice cake?!!"
"Idiot! Open your eyes and see clearly. That was dodged! Did you read the intelligence carefully before?!"
The wizards have already read the information about Katakuri given by Kira, and know that he is using his Observation Haki to avoid attacks in advance.
Laxus fell back to the ground, looking at the tall body that was being repaired in front of him with interest. "Did you avoid it in advance? I clearly added 'Haki' just before the attack! In other words, did you predict this? But I heard that this ability can only be used in a peaceful state of mind, right?"
"How much information have you found out?" Katakuri looked gloomy.
Seeing that I used my Observation Haki to dodge the attack, I could think that the other person possessed the eyesight of an expert. But when he said something like 'I heard that only by keeping a calm mind can you predict the future', it meant that the person in front of me was very familiar with my abilities, or the ability to 'predict the future', and that he had obtained it through gathering intelligence.
So from whom can the other party collect information about himself?
In this situation, Katakuri could only think of Brulee.
"What did you do to my sister?!!"
Laxus smiled evilly: "Who knows..."
asshole!!
Katakuri was confused and started to attack fiercely: "Super Power Rice Cake!!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the Mochi-Mochi Fruit created dozens of fists in the air, all of which were endowed with armed color domineering, and then attacked Laxus at the same time!
The sticky rice fist, combined with the unparalleled strength, makes Katakuri's tight attacks reach an unimaginable level in terms of quantity and power.
"You think you can win with this kind of attack?" Laxus sneered, raised his left hand, and lightning flashed. In an instant, countless lightning balls shot out from his palm.
"Lightning bomb!!"
The ball of light shot out like a cannonball, with the same speed and power, and continuously collided and bombarded with the falling glutinous rice fist in mid-air, causing a violent explosion. Strong winds blew in all directions, shocking all the spectators present.
“What a spectacular scene…!!”
"As expected of Laxus! The tribe is completely at a disadvantage!!!"
"Did I hear wrongly? They seemed to have mentioned 'sister' or something..."
"Don't worry about those little things, just watch carefully!"
"But Laxus looked like a bad guy just now..."
"Well, actually I think we are the bad guys now."
The atmosphere in the audience of the magicians suddenly became quiet.
Many people realized it later and said, "Yes, it turns out that we were the ones who took over someone else's place in the first place. This is really unreasonable."
"But they are pirates, pirates! Is there anything wrong with robbing pirates? No!"
"That's right...By the way, it was Irene-san who started it first!"
"What do you mean? Are you looking for death?!"
Amidst the banter, the wizards ate their snacks while admiring the battle in the arena.
Laxus and Katakuri's attacks went back and forth, but they still had trouble hitting each other.
Lightning is fast and powerful, and its attacks are fair and domineering; glutinous rice shows amazing ductility and plasticity, and with the blessing of domineering power, it becomes a weapon whose shape and size can be changed at will.
