From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 271 Thunder Swordsman Zoro VS Perfect Man Katakuri!

Of course no one answered Katakuri's question.

After a brief moment of stiffness, Peng En demonstrated his qualities as an elite vice admiral of the navy. He pushed away the subordinate who was bandaging his wound, then turned around and slashed at Katakuri.

Perhaps it was because Peng En chose to push his subordinates away at the first moment, or perhaps the gap in strength was indeed too big.

In short, his straight knife did not achieve any effect.

Katakuri's hands were full of domineering aura, and he easily grasped Peng's blade. He looked at Peng with cold eyes and said, "You..."

However, before Katakuri could say anything, white smoke burst out from under Smoker's feet, and he rushed in quickly, shouting: "White Fist!"

Katakuri still didn't dodge at all and stood there without moving. Smoker's smoky white fist went straight through his chest.

"Elementalization!?" As a natural ability user, Smoker thought of this immediately, but the problem was... he was using Haki! ?

At the same time, Peng En loosened his grip on the knife handle, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and with domineering power wrapped in his hand, he punched Katakuri again.

The result was the same as Smoker's, neither of them was able to hit Katakuri's entity.

"Too slow." Katakuri said coldly.

The moment the words fell, Tashigi in the distance couldn't even see his movements clearly, she only saw Smoker and Lieutenant General Peng being knocked out at the same time, blood spurting in the air.

The two men fell to the ground almost at the same time. White smoke exploded around Smoker. In addition to the wound on his arm bursting open, there was also a bloody mark on his chest that looked like a slash. He didn't care about these injuries. He stood up and immediately looked at Peng En who was stuck in the ground and asked, "Are you okay?"

Looking again, Peng En's left arm had been broken and twisted unnaturally. The broken arm bone pierced the flesh and was exposed to the air with blood.

"Tashigi, take Peng En away, send a signal, and evacuate immediately!" Smoker ordered without hesitation.

After just one encounter, he already felt the absolute gap in strength between himself and Katakuri. Similarly, in an instant, Peng En was severely injured and obviously had lost his combat effectiveness.

But at this moment, Smoothie was still on the island, and Dor was working with some other naval officers to harass her. According to the original plan, he and Peng En would go to support Lieutenant General Dor after they had rested.

But now, I'm afraid there is no other way. If I stay behind to cover the rear, perhaps Dor, Peng En and more navy officers can escape!
It happened in a flash. As soon as Smoker finished his words, Katakuri raised his hand and several glutinous rice balls flew over and instantly covered Lieutenant General Peng En's body.

Dashiqi rushed over and wanted to take Peng En away. She reached out and grabbed the soft-looking glutinous rice ball, but was stuck to it. The next second, several more glutinous rice balls flew over and hit Dashiqi, sticking her and Peng En to the ground together, unable to break free.

"None of you can leave." Katakuri looked at Smoker and said softly.

"Bastard." Smoker cursed inwardly, white smoke bursting out of his body. He pulled out the Ten Hands of Seastone behind him and rushed towards Katakuri again.

Katakuri's expression didn't change at all. Perhaps except when facing his family, he is just a cold-blooded killing machine!
With a light step of his foot, Katakuri's five-meter-tall body instantly disappeared from Smoker's sight.

Before Smoker's observation Haki could detect Katakuri's movements, his pupils suddenly dilated, and Katakuri's figure appeared on his left side in an instant. At the same time, Katakuri's arm had expanded to a very large size, shaped like a glutinous rice, and his arm was like a mace with hideous spikes, and a faint flow of armed Haki was attached to it!

"Cut, cut, rice cake!" Katakuri growled.

Smoker is just the size of a normal person, but Katakuri's arms are bigger than his entire body at this moment.

At the same time, the Smoke Fruit has no strong points in terms of speed, and it is simply unable to keep up with Katakuri's ghostly figure, and it is too late to dodge.

"Iron block." Smoker growled, activating his domineering aura and iron block at the same time to protect his entire body.

But in the next moment, he was completely covered by Katakuri's move and was knocked away. His figure rolled dozens of times on the ground, leaving a ditch and his whole body was covered in blood.

Even though he protected himself with his domineering aura and the iron block at the first moment, Smoker still felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. There was no place that didn't hurt, especially in his chest. There was a bloody hole in his ribs, and his injured lungs could be vaguely seen, which made it difficult for him to breathe.

With just one strike, regardless of his previous casualness, Katakuri became a little more serious and severely injured him with just one strike!
This made Smoker feel extremely regretful. Why did he waste his time in the East China Sea in the past few years? If he had been able to work hard and persevere at the beginning, maybe there would be a turnaround today!

Feeling his strength and blood rapidly draining away from his body, Smoker's eyes gradually became blurry.

Then, he felt another wave of pain in his body. He tried hard to open his eyes and saw clearly that it was Katakuri who stepped on his chest.

"Where is Roronoa Zoro?" Katakuri repeated his original question, looking down at Smoker with a cold gaze.

Although Smoker knew that he could no longer struggle, he still laughed. As he laughed, the blood at the corner of his mouth made his face look somewhat hideous.

"You're just a pirate, and you still want to get information from me?" Smoker sneered. "Really?" Katakuri said with a murderous look in his eyes: "If you don't want to tell me, then go to hell."

As he finished speaking, he gradually exerted force on his feet, as if he wanted to step on Smoker to death.

The creepy sound of bones working could be heard in the air, but Smoker gritted his teeth like a tough guy, enduring the pain without saying a word.

Just when Katakuri was about to lose his patience and really kill Smoker, suddenly, his movements stopped.

At the same time, there were some changes in the expression on that face which had been so cold and expressionless, as if there was a hint of surprise in the eyes.

Then, Roronoa Zoro's voice came from behind him.

"I'll only say this once, get your dirty feet off my friend." Zoro, who was wearing a cloak of justice and appeared not far behind Katakuri, put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and said calmly, "Otherwise I'll chop it off."

It was not a threat. The proud Katakuri naturally disdained to threaten anything in this way. He immediately retracted his action of stepping on Smoker, turned around calmly, and said in a slightly puzzled tone: "I didn't even notice your arrival. Smoker deserved to be defeated."

At the same time, Smoker on the ground said intermittently with a dazed look in his eyes: "Support. Is that you? I'll leave it to you. Let me make it clear first. I can't hold on for too long."

Zoro glanced at Smoker and said confidently, "Don't worry, it won't take long."

The moment the words fell, a slight arc of electricity flashed on the ends of Zoro's green hair, and the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from Katakuri's sight.

Katakuri's pupils also shrank suddenly. It was not because he was careless or negligent just now!

Even though his Observation Haki has reached the level of foreseeing the future, he still cannot capture the figure of Roronoa Zoro!
Katakuri has encountered this phenomenon before, and the only explanation is that the navy's famous vice admiral's observation color strength is no less than his own!

There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, but reality is just a moment.

Even though Katakuri couldn't foresee Zoro's moves, his fighting instincts and qualities were still quite high. He swung his arm, and at the same time as glutinous rice paste splashed, a trident came out of his arm and was neatly caught in his hand, blocking forward!
The sharp smell of a blade was first heard in the air, and then the Wado Ichimonji in Zoro's hand chopped fiercely on the long handle of Katakuri's trident.

The high-voltage electric current burst into lightning, spreading up and down along the trident, quickly reaching Katakuri's palm, and then hit the domineering power in Katakuri's hand and dissipated.

Feeling the force coming from his hands, Katakuri became more alert.

When masters fight, it often only takes a split second to determine the strength of the other party.

At this moment, Katakuri no longer had any intention of underestimating Zoro, and directly regarded him as a powerful opponent who was comparable to himself!

For this reason, Katakuri no longer held back. His power surged and he instantly entered a state of awakening. The ground softened and donuts emerged, which then transformed into two arms shaped by his power. He clenched his fists and smashed towards Zoro with domineering power.

Zoro, with lightning flashing on his body again, instantly created a distance of two meters between him and Katakuri, neither far nor close. During this process, the Wado Ichimonji that he had just slashed at Katakuri was put back into the scabbard.

The next moment, Katakuri's rice cake arm came whizzing, a flash of lightning emanated from the edge of Zoro's eye sockets, and the hand holding the hilt also burst into a brilliance of thunder!

"The sun is full of colors."

Katakuri only heard the sound, and then, in an instant, a brilliant light seemed to burst out in front of his eyes. This light seemed to be composed of countless fine slashes that almost formed a dense grid, and he instinctively felt threatened.

He never underestimated his instincts, so he did not seize the opportunity to attack. On the contrary, Katakuri's feet sank, and his whole body sank directly into the glutinous rice on the ground, like diving, and disappeared.

The next moment, thousands of sword lights cut Katakuri's two remaining rice cake arms in the air into countless pieces, which fell like a rain curtain.

Without any emotional change, as Zoro's attack missed, his body turned into lightning and soared into the sky.

As expected, as his figure rushed into the sky, fireworks made of glutinous rice paste exploded on the ground, instantly covering the area where he was just now. If he was contaminated by this extremely viscous glutinous rice, even if he was the user of the Thunder Fruit, it would definitely have some impact.

After spinning half a circle in the air on the lightning, Zoro took a Moon Step. The Moon Step combined with the thunder exploded an indigo light in the air.

"Itsword Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubles Wind!!!" As he took the Moon Step, Zoro roared and slashed from the air, falling from top to bottom.

As the sword was unsheathed, it turned into a strong wind, and within the strong wind was the ear-piercing sound of thunder!

Under the ground, Katakuri emerged from the glutinous rice slurry, and with a flash of power in his hand, he said, "Rain of Rice Cakes!!!"

The ground was like a fountain, no... more like a volcanic eruption. Countless glutinous rice pastes gathered and gushed out, attacking the sky, and then collided with the slash, exploding into a rain curtain of glutinous rice paste all over the sky.
