Katakuri didn't have time to comfort them, so he strode straight towards Mod.
As he moved around, the metal jewelry he wore on his body made a clattering sound.
"Whether it's Aoki or Maud, these two men are undoubtedly monster-level opponents, so please keep your spirits up."
Katakuri turned his wrist slightly, held the trident horizontally by his side, walked towards Moder step by step, and said in a deep voice:
"There is no room for error in this battle. Just a moment's mistake will cost you your life!"
“…”
The solemn reminder made everyone's expressions change slightly, including the eldest daughter Compert.
Even the pillar of the family, who is extremely powerful and has never been defeated in his life, said this...
This made them clearly feel a sense of oppression like a huge black cloud pressing down on the earth.
Katakuri ignored the reactions of his brothers and sisters and took the lead to face what was probably the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered.
He had no confidence in winning this battle.
Naturally, he would not challenge Maud alone, leaving members of the family out of the fray.
This is not an honest duel, but a battle to repel the invaders!
"I thought you would be confused about the 'situation' just now and make your own judgment."
Katakuri stepped into the distance that was most suitable for launching a fast attack. He looked calm and calm and said: "The result is 'no word'..."
The red light in his eyes as he looked at Maude was always floating, maintaining the color of knowledge that could predict the future for a moment.
Just as Katakuri predicted, Moder raised Qiushui without saying a word.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Katakuri's face darkened, as if he had seen a future that displeased him.
He suddenly raised his left arm and activated his ability.
I saw my left arm squirming like a rice cake, and immediately turned into the shape of a Gatling machine gun, and it was covered with armed Haki.
Rice cake blade bomb!
The machine gun suddenly turned, and glutinous bullets wrapped with armed colors flew out from the muzzle and hit Maud.
Maude raised her eyebrows slightly, stopped thinking about taking out Smoothie's body from the shadow box, and quickly pulled out the pistol transformed by Bailey.
In this case, there is no need for Mod to issue a transformation command.
Bailey, who had fought alongside Maude countless times, did not hesitate to transform into one of the weapon forms he learned from Franky, which was a machine gun!
laugh!
Bailey completed his transformation in an instant, switching from pistol form to machine gun form.
Then Maud pulled the trigger.
Da da da!
As the tongues of fire gushed out, bullets shot through the smoke and faced the glutinous bullets coming from the front.
Along with the continuous sound of gunshots, bullets flying from different directions collided together in mid-air.
The moment they disintegrated, countless sparks suddenly flashed out.
For a moment, these seemingly equal firepowers actually intertwined into a gorgeous and dangerous firework in mid-air.
But the firefight caused by the Gatling machine gun did not last long.
Because, while shooting, Mod used Qiushui to strike the ground, and a flying slash followed the ground, heading towards Katakuri.
Katakuri didn't even look at the slash that was coming from the ground, and just let the slash cut a ferocious vertical cut in his abdomen.
And the moment the flying slash passed through Katakuri's body, Mod disappeared out of thin air.
Without his outpouring of firepower, the rice cake blade bullets ejected from Katakuri's gun suddenly fell into the air.
at the same time.
Mod, who disappeared from the spot, exchanged places with the shadow hidden in the flying slash, and came behind Katakuri.
The moment his body appeared, Mod was about to swing the autumn water wrapped with armed domineering energy and slash directly at the back of Katakuri's neck——
The trident held by Katakuri's hand shook out a little bit of cold light faster, and with an unreasonable counterattack trajectory, it first pierced his chest, and then stabbed him with unabated force. To Maud's chest.
This is what it means to foresee the future!
Whether it's offense or defensive counterattack, they always have the upper hand.
Moreover, in a situation with almost no room for thinking, he came up with the tactic of using his own body to hide his counterattack.
In the extremely fast close attack and defense, this form of defensive counterattack is simply a magical skill.
But Maud's knowledge and color are not a vegetarian either.
When the trident penetrated Katakuri's back, Mod noticed it in advance and frowned slightly.
This was the first time he experienced the difficulty of being able to foresee the future.
Qiu Shui, who originally planned to slash at Katakuri's vitals, could only change his position in a hurry and stand in front of him to block Katakuri's attack.
clang!
The dark end of the trident stabbed Qiushui Dao with great force.
Sparks flashed.
Maud, who was in the air without a point of strength, was immediately pushed away by the force.
Katakuri was not surprised that he failed to stab Mod in that situation. He turned around and squatted down, pressing his left hand on the ground.
The awakened glutinous rice fruit ability instantly turned a large area of the ground into a squirming rice cake.
Rainy glutinous rice!
Under the control of Katakuri's mind, the huge rice cake ball that was assimilated by the ability turned into nearly a hundred thick rice cake strips in the blink of an eye, and quickly attacked Maude from the bottom up.
Not far away, everyone in the Charlotte family looked at the brief confrontation between lightning and flint in front of them with different reactions.
In just a few breaths, they were unable to intervene.
but-
"What a fierce attack, worthy of Katakuri-nii!"
"What? Brother Katakuri is just too humble. Hasn't this already suppressed that man?"
"Except for my mother, I have never seen anyone who can withstand Katakuri-nii's advantage when he gets the upper hand! That guy will definitely be stuck!!!"
"Be prepared to take action, the moment that guy is controlled by Katakuri-nii..."
Although it was difficult to intervene, it did not prevent many members of the Charlotte family from looking at Katakuri with admiration.
This is the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family!
He is an extremely powerful and perfect man who has inherited his mother’s bloodline!
And at this time.
Maude looked calmly at the thick rice cake sticks coming from all directions, and whispered to herself: "You are not the only one who has awakened his ability."
Before he finished speaking, the shadows that could be seen everywhere gathered in an instant, and immediately imitated shadow pillars. With the help of seeing and hearing, they stopped the incoming rice cake sticks in mid-air with great accuracy.
The shadow pillar and the rice cake sticks collided hard in mid-air, making a thunderous sound.
In the gap between the rice cake sticks intercepted by the shadow pillar, Maude landed steadily, and then slowly raised her left arm, with shadow waves flowing on her palm.
He opened the Shadow Box and took out Smoothie's body.
This is what Maud planned to do five seconds ago.
But Katakuri had seen Mod take out Smoothie's body five seconds ago through his vision of the future.
This made his face darken at that time, and then he took action angrily, "interrupting" Maude's thoughts before she really put them into action.
However, even if Katakuri can foresee the future, there is no 100% guarantee that he can change the future.
Just like this moment.
After several rounds of confrontation, Maude followed his original plan and took out Smoothie's body from the shadow box in front of many members of the Charlotte family.
As Smoothie's body appeared, Katakuri's eyes became as cold as the cold wind.
On the other hand, the other members of the Charlotte family were stunned at first when they saw Maud taking out Smoothie's body, and then they all glared at Maud.
"How dare that guy do this...!!!"
"I will cut him to death with a thousand knives!!!"
"Sister Smoothie..."
Seeing Maud "playing" with Smoothie's corpse, except for Katakuri who was still calm, everyone in the Charlotte family had their facial features slightly distorted due to anger.
Facing the angry looks from everyone in the Charlotte family, Maud remained unmoved, exuding a cold aura.
In terms of anger alone, his chest was like a volcano that was erupting wantonly, no less than the rest of the Charlotte family.
Under Maude's instruction, Smoothie's corpse slowly opened its eyes, and immediately stood in front of Maude, like a loyal soldier, blocking the angry sight of Maude from the front.
"this… "
Seeing Smoothie's cold eyes, everyone in the Charlotte family couldn't help but feel in a trance.
"That's not Smoothie anymore."
Mond, the second daughter of the Charlotte family, slowly pulled out her sword and said calmly: "Let us... help Smoothie free himself."
"Sister Mond..."
Everyone looked at Mond who was the first to express his stance.
Most members of the family are proficient in swordsmanship.
At least a dozen people can achieve the realm of cutting ships.
As the second daughter, Mond was ranked among the best in terms of swordsmanship.
Although her overall strength is not as good as Smoothie's Devil Fruit ability, her swordsmanship is worse than Smoothie's.
In addition to Mond, those present such as Slow Sword Armand, Fast Sword Yaxiu, Karstad, Blowyer, Snamon and others are also very powerful swordsmen.
And their mood at the moment gradually became the same as Mond's.
Help Sister Smoothie escape...
Such thoughts quietly penetrated into the sword in his hand.
Inside the venue.
Shadow pillars and rice cake sticks were fighting back and forth in mid-air, regardless of top or bottom.
under.
Mod looked at Katakuri.
He didn't see what he wanted from this man's face.
Katakuri met Mod's scrutinizing gaze and said coldly: "The next thing you want to say is, 'I thought you would be angry or something, but in the end you didn't say a word?' So, you Are you looking down on me?"
"Whatever you think."
Seeing that Katakuri said what he wanted to say in advance, Mod's expression did not change at all.
After taking out Smoothie's body, the Shadow Box was not closed.
He still had something to take out.
That's the shadow of the prisoners.
With a slight movement of thought, a total of seven shadows emerged from the shadow box, and were easily held by Maud in his hand.
It seemed that Moder had done this deliberately. The shadows that had been taken out were struggling crazily, as if they were sending soul-deep messages for help to the surroundings.
The owners of these seven shadows are the shadows that Mod collected from the ministers, that is, the children of Charlotte Lingling, after they captured many islands of the pirate group.
As for the name...
After taking the shadow, it was no longer worthy to stay in his head.
