Chapter 388 "Slippery Glutinous Rice Dumplings" Master
Chapter 388 "Slippery Sticky Rice Balls" Volume [Master]★
As the only known high-level observation Haki awakening method in the entire comic, Xie Wen will of course try to fight Katakuri to see if he can directly upgrade like Luffy...
Although I know that this is probably the same as being beaten by Teacher Gai with three sticks, which is a plot exclusive to the protagonist.
But...
It doesn't cost money anyway, so it's no big deal to give it a try.
In addition, Xie Wen has recently gained some experience in the development of "Observation Kill", and it's just right to use Katakuri, a master of observation Haki, to test the waters.
"Blue Star" Xie Wen!"
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.
The cracker, who was no longer hiding in the biscuit armor, saw Xie Wen appear and immediately rushed towards him, and in his hand, he still held a handful of "pretzels"...
It's just made of biscuits.
However, Xie Wen, who only wanted to compete with Katakuri, didn't even bother to look at this defeated opponent, and continued to walk towards Katakuri carrying the fresh knife Shiragi.
As for Cracker...
"I won't let you disturb Master Xie Wen, meow."
Niaojuro raised his sword to block the biscuit man.
"Leave it to us! You guys go and catch Nico Robin!"
Katakuri gave the order decisively.
His two triplets, Charlotte Daifuku, the Oil Lamp Man who ate the Lamp Lamp Fruit, and Charlotte Owen, the High Heat Man who ate the Heat Heat Fruit, immediately led the remaining pirates to run towards Robin.
Xie Wen still ignored it, because he had signed a lot of unequal treaties with the little guy Klee, so that this little puppet would stay by Robin's side and ensure her safety.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, a huge flame Pooh fell in front of Daifuku and Owen.
Although she couldn't do it herself, it was the same to control the summoned creatures to fight. The clever Klee squatted on Robin's shoulder, shaking her furry little head proudly.
Moreover, Daifuku could summon the Lamp Demon Man, and Owen could generate high heat. Pooh, who was also a summoned creature and could also generate high temperature, was simply the most suitable opponent.
As for the remaining pirates, Klee was very loyal and let her sister Meowx deal with them.
"I heard that your observation Haki can see the future," Xie Wen raised Shiragi and pointed at Katakuri, who looked ugly, "So, can you see who will win next?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Katakuri drew out his weapon "Earth Dragon" and pointed back at Xie Wen, "Of course it's me!"
Seeing the trident in Katakuri's hand, Xie Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
How could he forget that Katakuri's weapon was a "spear", and it was the kind with plot weight!
So Xie Wen grinned and said, "Really? But I think you might lose your weapon to me like Cracker."
"Huh! You want my "Earth Dragon", then come and try it!"
Katakuri's eyes widened, and he activated his Conqueror Haki, which had no effect on Xie Wen at all.
Xie Wen tilted his head in confusion, "Didn't your Observation Haki foresee that I would not be affected by Conqueror Haki?"
"..."
Katakuri certainly foresaw it, but when he foresaw it, his Conqueror Haki had already been released.
Kataki, who didn't know how to explain it, could only attack Xie Wen with a dark face.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly so angry? Did I poke your sore spot just now?"
Xie Wen blocked his attack with Shiragi and continued to ask in confusion.
Similar to Foz F, Xie Wen also talked a lot when he met a plot character he was interested in.
However, Katakuri still didn't say anything and continued to attack.
"Nuo Tuan stabs! "
Kataki's arm turned into a ball of sticky rice, wrapped around the "Earth Dragon" in his hand and began to spin. The tip of the trident turned into a huge drill and stabbed at Xie Wen.
Monster Hunter Style·Strike Style·Mirror Flower Structure!
Xie Wen decisively activated the assault style and used the defensive hunting skill of the sword, Mirror Flower Structure.
The nature of this move is actually somewhat similar to the bounce, both of which bounce the enemy's attack, but the effect is not as good as the perfect bounce developed by Link Meow, and it is even a little worse than the ordinary bounce...
This is determined by the nature of the weapon. In this regard, the sword can never compare to the shield.
In Katakuri's observation Haki, he saw that Xie Wen simply raised the salted fish sword and made a blocking motion, and then his attack was bounced, and even the "Earth Dragon" almost fell out of his hand.
Because the scene was too incredible, Katakuri even doubted whether there was something wrong with his observation Haki.
"Hmph!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Katakuri did not stop his attack, but increased his strength and rotation, continuing to stab Xie Wen.
Because it was too late to change his moves now, it would only expose a bigger flaw, and...
He still didn't believe that his attack would be blocked so easily by Xie Wen.
"Clang——"
When the spinning earth dragon finally touched Shiragi, Katakuri realized that there was nothing wrong with his observation Haki.
A huge repulsive force came from the earth dragon in his hand. Katakuri's body was involuntarily tilted to the side, and his arm that turned into a glutinous rice ball exploded in all directions like a coil that had been broken.
If he hadn't been prepared for what he saw and heard, and regained his normal arm in time to grip the earth dragon again, the trident would really have been blown away.
Monster hunting style·Hunting skills·Sakura air blade slash!
Taking advantage of Katakuri's unstable body, Xie Wen immediately launched a counterattack, but the opponent's appearance was indeed something, and he used pseudo-elementation in time to avoid Xie Wen's slashing attack.
If he couldn't hit the enemy, he wouldn't be able to penetrate the sword energy into Ka Er's body. The first battle of Sakura Slash was in vain.
Sure enough, those hunting skills that add status to oneself are more useful.
Xie Wen, who had finished his attack, turned his feet, turned around, and assumed a posture to draw the knife...
Monster hunting style, Iai, and random blades are all broken!
With the bonus of the attack style, Xie Wen's sword drawing technique at this time can even catch up with Link's sword swing in the time state.
However, even with such a rapid speed, Katakuri was still able to avoid it in advance with his bug-level knowledge.
But Xie Wen did not give up so easily. Since the attack style was not fast enough, then...
Link time, open!
Monster hunting flow·Starry sky, moon and earth!
Countless stabbing and slashing sword auras were shot out by Xie Wen in an instant, shrouding Katakuri who still maintained his pseudo-elementary form. The layers of sword aura made it difficult to find. Even Katakuri, who can transform his body into a pseudo-element, has to find a place to hide.
Since the speed of the attack style can't hit, then use Link's time speed plus AOE attack. I don't believe you can avoid it!
And Katakuri did not avoid it. He didn't even make a dodge move. Instead, he quickly returned to his human form and chose to use his armor to shoulder it.
"Tsk..."
Xie Wen smacked his lips in displeasure.
In order to block Katakuri's hiding space to the greatest extent, the power of this move is relatively scattered, so the power of these sword energies is not great. When his own armament is good enough, it is indeed difficult to carry it hard. Not a bad way to cope.
But did Katakuri choose to carry it because he couldn't avoid it, or did he carry it because he saw the effect of doing so?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xie Wen felt that the second possibility was higher, but in this case, his previous attempt would not make much sense.
"Tsk!"
Xie Wen smacked his lips again, and then slowly lowered his eyes. His eyes seemed to be half-opened, as if he was suddenly separated from the battle in front of him.
At the same time, the aura on his body also became stronger and weaker, and became erratic.
