Chapter 354: A Troublesome Top-Tier Observation Haki
"Ok?"
"Captain! What's this?"
Everyone around was astonished when they saw Katakuri's actions. To dodge so calmly amidst such a dense barrage of shells was a sight that stunned everyone.
"That's right! This is top-tier Observation Haki, which allows you to briefly foresee the future. Katakuri saw the trajectory of the cannon in Slade's hand perfectly. Only by predicting in advance can you dodge it!"
Sitting at the bow of the Freedom, Mu Chong watched this scene with a deep gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, as he explained to the astonished crowd behind him.
"Hiss! To anticipate the opponent's attack? That's too powerful. How is Slard supposed to fight this battle?"
Hearing Mu Chong's explanation, Bartolomeo, who was staring intently at the battlefield, spoke up.
Slade, who was also on the battlefield, was equally astonished. As Katakuri approached at an incredible speed, Slade frowned.
boom!boom!boom……
"Hmm? He dodged it? Is this the ability to foresee the future that the captain was talking about? He really can't be attacked!"
Slade's hands, transformed into cannons, continued to spew shells, but this no longer hindered Katakuri's advance. The next second, Katakuri, right in front of him, launched his attack.
Swish!
"Cloud Shield!"
boom!
At the critical moment, Slad decisively abandoned the cannon. As soon as he finished speaking, a jet-black shield appeared in front of Slad, solidly blocking Katakuri's punch.
"Thrust!"
Swish!
Slade wasn't simply trying to block Katakuri's attack. The instant the two made contact, dozens of sharp black spikes erupted from the previously flat shield, shooting towards Katakuri in unison.
"Humph!"
However, Slade's intentions were completely exposed to Katakuri's Observation Haki. The moment the spikes appeared, Katakuri dodged to the side.
boom!
"Horned rice cake!"
Immediately after, Katakuri kicked off with both feet, twisting his body as he charged towards Slade again. He first used the power of the Mochi Mochi Fruit to transform his hands into long, thin rice cakes, then hardened them with Armament Haki, attacking with a whooshing force.
Katakuri is incredibly fast; from dodging to turning around and attacking, it only takes the time it takes to breathe.
"Hmm? The attack was predicted! This is troublesome!"
In an instant, Slade frowned, muttering to himself as he activated the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power.
"Cloud Evolution - Heavy Fist!"
In an instant, Slade covered his hands with clouds generated from his Devil Fruit power, followed by Armament Haki, and met Katakuri's horned mochi head-on.
boom!boom!boom……
Boom! Boom...
The two instantly resumed their exchange of blows, each punch producing a deafening roar, as if they had returned to the stage of their physical combat contest.
boom!
But this time, the two didn't exchange blows for long. With a powerful punch, they separated again, but Katakuri showed no sign of stopping.
"Mingkuchi Rice Cake!"
Katakuri roared, using his Mochi Mochi Fruit powers to transform his hands into long, thin rice cakes. Combining this with Armament Haki, he unleashed countless hardened mochi-like balls of mochi at Slard in a rapid, all-around attack, at incredible speed.
"Ok?"
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Slad hastily retreated, dodging and parrying at the same time.
Bang! Bang! ...
However, due to Katakuri's attack, both its speed and the sheer number of mochi strips it produced were incredibly exaggerated, and Slade was hit by it several times.
"Pah! You've used this sticky rice fruit in such a fancy and frivolous way!"
After exiting Katakuri's attack range, Slade's eyes flashed with a glint of shrewdness. As he muttered a sarcastic remark, he activated his Cloud-Cloud Fruit power.
"Cloud Network - Restraint!"
Slade raised his right hand, and a large amount of white clouds spread from his palm. After reaching the space between the two, they suddenly transformed into a large black net, enveloping Katakuri.
boom!
The instant the black net formed, Slad pushed off with both feet, his body leaping into the air. As he soared into the air, thick white clouds appeared before him.
"Cloud Evolution - Meteor Fist!"
Slad's fists, now transformed into clouds, swung rapidly towards Katakuri below. With each swing of Slad's arms, countless black fists shot forth from the white clouds, slamming towards Katakuri.
Slad's combination attack was executed with fluid grace, completed in an extremely short time. The overwhelming net and the meteor-like barrage of punches were all designed to restrict Katakuri's Observation Haki.
However, at this moment, Katakuri, standing on the ice, did not dodge. Instead, the instant Slade's black net formed, Katakuri's attack was already underway.
"Baked rice cakes!"
In an instant, Katakuri transformed the upper part of his hand into a mochi and compressed it, simultaneously wrapping it in scorching heat, and hurled it towards the large black net like a rocket launcher.
boom!
The rice cake fist that had detached from the arm instantly grew larger, engulfed in blazing flames, and struck Slad's black cloud net squarely.
boom!
As the fiery fist collided with the cloud net, an energy wave erupted, sweeping outwards. The rice cake fist, after breaking through the cloud net, shattered and was instantly torn to pieces by the meteor fist.
"Mingkuchi Rice Cake!"
Facing the meteor punch coming from above, Katakuri once again used Mochi Barrage, sending several long, thin mochi balls flying towards the meteor punch.
boom!boom!boom……
The moment the two densely packed techniques clashed, the sounds of impact echoed incessantly, followed by shockwaves that raged wildly through the surrounding area.
Boom! Boom...
Rumble!
Slade's meteor punches rained down on Katakuri below, but some of them still landed on the ice beneath Katakuri's feet. The immense force caused the ice to crack and shatter, revealing numerous fissures.
boom!
Whoosh!
Under the relentless onslaught, the ice where Katakuri stood finally succumbed to the power of Slade's Meteor Fist and collapsed, seawater gushing out from the breach.
boom!
As the ice collapsed, Katakuri had nowhere to stand. But at that critical moment, a red light flashed in Katakuri's eyes. He blocked the meteor punch while simultaneously moving away from the collapsed area.
boom!
Katakuri dodged to the side, his legs quickly gathering momentum, and in the next second, he soared into the air, charging towards Slade who was in mid-air.
"Chop, slice, rice cake!"
Katakuri leaped into the air, transforming his arm into a mochi that rapidly expanded. The enormous mochi then morphed into a spiked club shape, which he then coated with Armament Haki. He spun rapidly, launching it like a flail towards Slade.
"Cloud Gathering - Siege Cannon!"
As Slade faced Katakuri's attack from mid-air, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Then, a large amount of white cloud gathered on Slade's right fist, and after a frantic compression, Slade swung his fist.
boom!
boom!
Rumble!
A terrifying white shockwave slammed directly into the black mochi spiked club, the two forces exploding in mid-air with a tremendous roar.
"Huh? It didn't break apart?"
