In the distance, on the Wind.

"Summer ...... Lord Xano, he ......"

Looking at the two who were already in a state of battle on the sea, Lola's expression suddenly became nervous, "Why did you fight with Brother Katakuri......"

"The conflict has escalated, it seems." Kidd next to him pushed away the goggles and looked into the distance with interest, "But that's right, your yellow-haired brother even dares to burn the things on our ship, I'm afraid that I have already annoyed Brother Xia Nuo." ”

"But, but ......" Lola was anxious, but didn't know how to speak.

In her opinion, this kind-hearted Lord Xiano, although he was one of the Seven Martial Seas under the king, and had also defeated enemies of the level of Drought Jack, but on the other side, it was her brother Katakuri!

That's the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family, the head of the four generals, and a man who has never tasted defeat in his life!

If she could, she wouldn't have wanted the two of them to fight anyway, especially since the calamity was caused by herself.

For a while, various emotions such as entanglement, guilt, and uneasiness lingered in her heart, so she subconsciously grabbed the corners of her skirt and began to rub them constantly.

"Don't worry!"

At this time, Dramp on the other side saw Laura's thoughts, patted her on the shoulder, laughed and comforted: "You don't have to worry about our captain, it's time for you, you should be worried about your brother." ”

Huh?

Lola was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard, but looked around and saw that the crew of the Tempest nodded approvingly, clearly agreeing with Dramp's words.

Is this the absolute trust of the crew in the captain?

Such a thought flashed in her heart, Lola looked into the distance, and found that the battle situation at this moment was not able to see the result at all, and her brother, who was originally invincible in her mind, was also in a bitter battle at this moment, and even faintly looked like he was falling behind.

Could it be ......

She chuckled in her heart, her mood became more complicated, and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried-

Brother Katakuri, is he really going to lose for the first time in his life today?

…………

Sea level.

Boom!

After using the Trident Earth Dragon to force back Xia Nuo's head-on sword, Katakuri was also shocked and took a few steps back, stepping out a series of ripples on the surface of the sea.

"Hoo ......"

He gasped violently for a while, and then immediately got up again and looked at Xia Nuo opposite, with an unprecedentedly serious expression on his face: "It seems that I underestimated you, it turns out that you are not only a speed, but also a great strength, no wonder Drought Jack's monster is not your opponent." ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Xia Nuo, who was on the other side, took a breath, raised his head and grinned, and accepted the praise calmly.

At this moment, he has been fighting with Katakuri for more than ten minutes, and he barely has the upper hand in the confrontation, but due to the opponent's difficult fruit ability and the terrifying sight and hearing that can predict the future, he always has a sense of frustration when he slashes into the cotton with his sword, and it is also not very comfortable.

Fortunately, in terms of physical strength, he and Ka Er are both monsters far beyond the level of ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

"I can't talk about compliments, but frankly speaking, you are indeed very strong, and I can even say that the enemies I have fought before are not as strong as you."

Katakuri clenched the earth dragon in his hand, stood up straight and said, "So next, I will not retain my strength anymore, and today will be my first all-out battle after a few months." ”

"Coincidentally, so do I."

Xia Nuo smiled, glanced at the Wind Storm hundreds of meters away, and suddenly said, "In order to prevent it from affecting others, I suggest changing to a farther place, what do you think?" ”

"Reasonable advice."

Katakuri's eyes flashed, and without much hesitation, he bowed slightly.

After reaching this agreement, the two of them stepped into the air at the same time, quickly retreating into the distance, and within a few moments they were several kilometers away, and after opening so many distances, the Tempest, which was not too far, suddenly became a small black dot in the sight.

"Go ahead."

After reminding him, Xia Nuo also re-grasped the hilt of the Lan Che sword at his waist, and his gaze gradually sharpened-

In the final analysis, the fight between the two just now seems to be impressive, but after all, it is just a trial, and the real white-hot fight will only really start now!

Swish!

In the next moment, his figure suddenly moved, leaving an afterimage that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and suddenly appeared behind Katakuri, and slashed at the opponent's neck with a sword.

While!

There was a dull metal clash of sounds, but it was Katakuri who had already turned the trident in front of his vital point, and his left hand was suddenly clenched at the same time!

Bang!

The surrounding sea suddenly roared, and countless bullet-sized glutinous rice balls broke out like droplets of water from the ground to the ground on a rainstorm, shooting towards Xia Nuo from all directions.

After this Devil Fruit awakens, it can affect all things around it, and it is vividly exerted in his hands.

Snort!

The glutinous rice bullets continued to fall on Xia Nuo's body like rain hitting plantains, but the latter's expression did not change in the slightest, nor did he make any evasive movements, but still stared at Katakuri's eyes, focusing his strength on the blade in his hand, and pressing down the trident inch by inch.

Has the armament color reached this level......

After seeing his peerless rice cake blade hitting the other party, leaving not even a trace of it, Katakuri couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, he thought that he was superior to the other party in terms of seeing and hearing, but in terms of the strength of the armed color alone, he couldn't do it to this extent.

"In that case......

Kataku's eyes were blazing with battle intent, and he suddenly poured all his strength into it, and set aside the sword blade that Xia Nuo was getting closer and closer, and then when the two of them were shocked and retreated again and again, he suddenly raised his right foot and stepped heavily on the sea!

"Flowing glutinous balls!"

Suddenly, the sea under his feet, as if given life, began to spread and flow around, turning all the surrounding sea into reddish-brown glutinous rice balls.

And just when Xia Nuo had just stabilized his body and was about to launch a new offensive, the mobile glutinous mass that had spread to a radius of hundreds of meters suddenly lifted off from under the waves, overwhelmingly shooting towards Xia Nuo's head!

The momentum of the glutinous mass falling from a height of more than hundreds of meters is really amazing, and from a distance, Xia Nuo looks like a small boat struggling to support itself in a storm, and it seems that it will be torn to pieces at any moment.

And in the distance, everyone in the Wind Pirates who saw this scene couldn't help but be moved and talked about it.

"It's too perverted to be able to control the sea for your own use at will......"

"Even if you are a Devil Fruit Awakener, it's rare to be able to do this so easily."

"It's a monster with a bounty of more than a billion, and it seems that the captain is fighting another fierce battle this time."

……

Everyone talked about it and talked about everything, but unlike those terrifying and powerful enemies they had encountered before, everyone did not have the slightest worry in their hearts, only full of trust in their own captain.

After all, how many times they faced desperate situations, the captain led them all the way through and created many miracles.

In contrast, in the battle in front of them, although the enemy was Katakuri, a man with a bounty high enough to make them look up and marvel at the past, how could their captain be an ordinary person?

It will be a year since they entered the new world, and the strength of the latter, because they have not gone all out for too long, has already reached a level that even they can't accurately predict.

In this case, no matter how terrifying the momentum of Katakuri is, everyone still thinks that their captain can still deal with it and crack it.

…………

And that's exactly what happened.

At the moment when the flowing glutinous ball was under the mask, Xia Nuo immediately made a decision, stepped on the moon step and quickly pulled back the distance, and at the same time he closed his sword, slashing out towards this huge and incomparable glutinous ball at an incredible speed!

Snort!

The faint white sword qi roared away, breaking through the sound barrier in an instant, and before the sound of breaking the wind sounded, the surging flowing glutinous mass in the distance had already been cut open by a sword from the middle, broken into two, and collapsed with a bang!

"A sword is so powerful."

Witnessing this scene, Kataku raised his eyebrows slightly, and he stabbed the trident head-on, and at the same time said in a deep voice, "I have fought against the foil Bista of the Whitebeard Pirates, and in terms of swordsmanship, he is not as good as you." ”

The sword halberds intersected, and the sparks flew in all directions, Xia Nuo borrowed his skillful strength, and picked off the opponent's trident with a sword, and then his wrist trembled slightly, and he turned his sword move into a horizontal slash to Kataku's waist and abdomen, and his mouth was silent and did not answer.

Although he had fought against Bista many times on Frost Island before, and won all of them easily, this was only a private battle after all, and only the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were lucky enough to watch the battle, so it only spread in a small area, and it was normal for Katakuri not to know about it.

On the other hand, after narrowly dodging Xano's slash, Katakuri found it increasingly difficult to dodge the opponent's slash, even if he had the domineering ability to see and hear.

After all, unlike long-distance fighting, in such a close deceptive fight, he didn't have much room to move around in the face of a great swordsman's stormy attack.

After judging this change in the situation, Katakuri instantly chose to change the way he fought.

The figure flashed, and Xia Nuo once again opened a distance of dozens of meters, Katakuri raised his right hand, and immediately dozens of doughnut-shaped glutinous balls formed in mid-air, of which the small half extended a hard strip-shaped rice cake, forming a protective shield around him, and the remaining half stretched out from it to cover the arm of the armed color domineering, and at the same time "snapped" and clenched into a fist violently.

"Peerless Nine-Head Rice Cake!"

With a low shout, all the arms suddenly moved, turning into fist shadows in the sky, and frantically bombarded towards Xia Nuo below.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Countless roars almost rang out one after another, and under this suffocating attack, Xia Nuo still remained calm, borrowing his body to shuttle freely through the gap of the fist shadow, as if he was strolling leisurely, easily dodging all the attacks.

In the next moment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he drew his sword out, and suddenly slashed out a sword from the bottom up.

Juhe: Slashing Flash!

Above the sea, the wind suddenly howled, and the surrounding air seemed to be completely withdrawn at this moment, and a giant tornado more than 20 meters high quickly formed, and swept towards Katakuri in mid-air with an unstoppable attitude!
