Chapter 741
General Star's One-Sided Crushing of "Disaster"!
Shutenmaru is a pragmatic person who knows how to assess situations.
He glanced at "Drought" Jack, who had also stopped moving, and made a decision in an instant.
"Men! The wind's blowing hard, get out of here! Grab the food you've stolen and run!"
Without hesitation, Shutenmaru immediately ordered the henchmen of the Touyama Thieves to slip away from the troubled area like a whirlwind during the standoff between Katakuri and Jack.
Katakuri didn't even spare a glance for the fleeing Shutenmaru.
To him, petty thieves who take advantage of others' misfortunes are not worthy of being his opponents.
His cold eyes remained fixed on the giant man in front of him, who exuded a strong aura of blood and tyranny.
"Drought... Jack."
Katakuri's deep voice echoed through the dilapidated streets, carrying an undisguised contempt.
"Who do you think you are, daring to meddle in my business?!"
Jack's bloodshot eyes burned with a ferocious killing intent.
As the top member of the Beasts Pirates, he never had the concepts of "tactics" or "retreat" in his mind; all he had was pure destruction and violence!
"Whoever you are, if you dare to block my way, you'd better die!!!"
Jack let out a terrifying roar, like that of an ancient mammoth.
He suddenly drew two huge, ivory-shaped Schottel knives from his waist.
"boom!"
Jack suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his massive body unleashed a terrifying speed that was completely disproportionate to its size.
He was like a heavy armored vehicle charging at full speed, crushing all obstacles in his path, and rushing straight towards Katakuri with violent wind pressure!
"Die!"
Jack crossed his arms, and two massive Shorter blades, wreathed in dark Armament Haki, slashed down fiercely towards Katakuri's neck like two scythes of death!
The power of this strike was terrifying. Before the blade even fell, the sharp slashing wind pressure had already torn a row of wooden houses dozens of meters behind Katakuri in half!
However, faced with this devastating blow that struck like lightning...
Katakuri didn't even move; he remained in the position with his arms crossed.
However, his originally dark eyes suddenly burst forth with a dazzling scarlet light!
Observation Haki – Foreseeing the future!
In Katakuri's mind, the next few seconds unfolded as clearly as a slow-motion scene in a movie.
He clearly saw the trajectory and angle of Jack's falling blade, and even the ripples in the airflow were crystal clear.
"Whoosh!"
Just at the absolute limit when Jack's twin swords were about to sever Katakuri's head!
A bizarre scene unfolded!
Katakuri's neck suddenly split open to the left and right like a melted mochi!
Jack's twin swords, carrying immense force, slashed through Katakuri's split neck with a "whoosh" without any hindrance!
The sharp blade merely sliced through the air, without touching Katakuri's skin or fur in the slightest!
The elemental transformation of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, combined with Observation Haki that can foresee the future, is Katakuri's absolute defense that is virtually unbeatable!
"What?!"
Jack's pupils contracted sharply; the emptiness of punching cotton made him uncomfortable.
"Too slow, his movements are full of flaws, he's like a crazy, stupid pig."
Katakuri's icy voice rang directly in Jack's ears.
The split neck healed instantly, and Katakuri's right leg, like a flexible yet deadly whip, stretched backward sharply. Then, wrapped in rich Armament Haki, it lashed out like a black battle axe, viciously striking Jack's cheek!
"Bang!!!"
With a dull thud, Jack's massive, mountain-like body was sent flying by the whip kick, his feet leaving the ground and his entire body flying sideways. He crashed through three houses with a loud bang before finally coming to a stop amidst the ruins.
"Damn it!!!"
Jack, like a raging beast, furiously crawled up from the ruins.
His cheek was swollen and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but this did not make him back down; instead, it ignited the ferocity within him!
"I'm going to chop you into mincemeat!"
Jack brandished his twin blades wildly, charging forward once more like a black whirlwind.
He abandoned all defense, each strike was wide and sweeping, purely squandering his seemingly inexhaustible and terrifying physical strength.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The streets of Jianlou Village suffered a devastating blow.
Every time Jack's slash missed, it plowed a bottomless trench in the earth.
Every time someone steps on it, it triggers a small earthquake.
The gale, carrying pebbles and wood chips, created a deadly storm around the battlefield, making it impossible to approach.
The villagers, hiding in the distance, watched this terrifying scene, which resembled a battle of gods, and trembled with fear, too exhausted to even run away.
However, at the heart of this storm-like attack...
Katakuri, however, moved with the ease of a leisurely stroll.
His body kept turning into rice cakes, sometimes splitting in the middle, sometimes twisting into incredible shapes, and even gracefully weaving between Jack's blades.
Jack's seemingly devastating series of slashes appeared as slow as a child swinging a stick in Katakuri's eyes, which could "foresee the future."
Hundreds of slashes failed to even touch a single hem of Katakuri's clothes!
"Does this kind of brute force, without any method, even deserve to be called a 'disaster'?"
A chilling glint flashed in Katakuri's eyes.
He knew it was time to end this tedious probing.
He slowly extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
On his arm, a large amount of rice cake surged and coalesced wildly like boiling water.
To Jack's astonishment, a massive weapon, shaped like a trident and exuding a chilling killing intent, was slowly pulled out of the rice cake!
This is Katakuri's signature weapon, the Trident Earth Dragon, which accompanied him through countless bloody battles!
"Let me show you what true power is."
Katakuri gripped the Earth Dragon tightly with both hands, and a terrifying deep purple Armament Haki, like a spiraling flame, instantly wrapped around the tip of the trident!
"Earth Dragon - Thrust!!!"
"Buzz!!!"
At that moment, the air emitted a piercing shriek!
Katakuri's arm was like a rapidly spinning drill, and his trident transformed into a black lightning bolt that was impossible to see with the naked eye. With a domineering and sharp posture, it instantly pierced through Jack's double-blade defense!
"Pfft!!!"
Blood exploded in mid-air like a fountain!
The earth dragon, wreathed in top-tier Armament Haki, pierced Jack's left shoulder with precision and ruthlessness!
The violent spinning and crushing force even turned the muscles and bones in Jack's shoulder into a lump of mud!
"Ughh ...
Jack let out a piercing scream and staggered backward.
But this is just the beginning!
With the power to foresee the future, Katakuri's attacks flowed like mercury, penetrating every nook and cranny.
"Chop, slice, and cut the rice cake!"
"Unrivaled Donuts!"
Katakuri's figure transformed into countless afterimages in mid-air.
The earth dragon was like a deadly venomous snake, weaving, changing direction, and thrusting strangely in mid-air!
