Chapter 1300: Mochi-Mochi Fruit
Katakuri and Doflamingo stopped fighting. Su Xiao stood at the edge of the mochi area; he hadn't stepped into the mochi area yet.
Before confirming a certain thing, he would never rashly get close to Katakuri. That was whether Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying was effective against fruit ability users, or rather, after activating Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, could he wound Katakuri?
Katakuri's body could turn into mochi; ordinary slashes had no effect. The Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was to perform energy annihilation inside the enemy's body after slashing the enemy, thereby causing true damage.
Su Xiao seriously doubted whether slashing through the mochi-fied Katakuri counted as slashing the enemy. If it didn't count, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying couldn't exert its effect, and he would have no way to deal with Katakuri.
Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit was very troublesome. This Paramecia-type Devil Fruit was even more precious than most Logia-type fruits.
In most cases, the value of Devil Fruits was Logia > Paramecia > Zoan.
This wasn't an absolute ranking. Some Mythical Zoan-type fruits were even more precious than Logia-types. But in terms of the initial combat power after eating a Devil Fruit, Logia-types were mostly the strongest.
Paramecia-type fruits had a high ceiling. Most top-tier powerhouses were Paramecia-types, such as Whitebeard, Shiki (peak period), and Byrnndi World (peak period).
The abilities of these guys weren't much at the beginning, but the strength of the users gave these Paramecia-types world-destroying capabilities.
There was no strongest fruit, only the strongest user. Although this sentence wasn't entirely accurate, that was generally the situation.
Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit was a perfect fruit ability. Paramecia-types already had a high ceiling, and this fruit also possessed an ability similar to 'elementalization'.
The elasticity, adhesiveness, and plasticity of mochi were all developed to the extreme by Katakuri.
D-Assassination appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He fired two shots at Katakuri's head.
Ptoo, ptoo...
Red light flickered in Katakuri's eyes. The next moment, he suddenly tilted his head to dodge, his body twisting to an almost eerie angle. His waist had already turned into mochi.
The bullets flew past Katakuri's ear. The experiment failed, and Su Xiao could only put away D-Assassination. He had originally wanted to create a silent domain around Katakuri, but it was predicted by the other party.
No wonder Doflamingo was beaten so miserably. The agility Katakuri displayed when dodging and his use of fruit ability meant that without overwhelming speed, it was simply impossible to wound the other party.
Doflamingo walked slowly toward Su Xiao and whispered: "You drag him down first, I'll solve Charlotte Cracker. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed."
"You want a researcher to drag down one of the Big Mom Pirates' Four Sweet Commanders?"
Su Xiao looked at Doflamingo with a smile. Veins bulged on Doflamingo's forehead.
"I don't understand Armament Haki; I can't drag him down at all."
"?"
Doflamingo was very surprised. He couldn't figure out why, with Su Xiao's strength, he hadn't mastered Armament Haki.
"The fact is just like that. You drag him down, I'll solve Charlotte Cracker. Just like before, once he supports Charlotte Cracker, you'll have a chance to wound him."
Su Xiao wasn't coveting Cracker's treasure chest, but he couldn't confirm whether Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying could wound Katakuri.
"Can do."
Doflamingo probably didn't want to deal with Katakuri alone either. If this continued, he would die here today.
"Charlotte Cracker's position is at..."
With a bang, mochi splashed beneath Katakuri's feet, and he charged straight toward the two.
Su Xiao and Doflamingo leaped to the left and right respectively. Katakuri's charging momentum slowed, and he turned to pounce on Su Xiao.
"Drag him down!"
Doflamingo roared while charging into the large mass of mochi.
Katakuri instantly rushed to Su Xiao's front. His right arm turned into mochi, which allowed his right arm to bend to an exaggerated angle.
Armament Haki coated Katakuri's right arm. He punched toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao had no intention of dodging; the opponent could predict the future, so dodging was meaningless.
An energy shield with 700 points of intensity appeared in front of Su Xiao. Katakuri punched the energy shield.
After Su Xiao's Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability reached lv. 40, the intensity cap of the energy shield was raised to 700 points. 700 points of intensity and 600 points were absolutely two different concepts.
Thud!
The ground beneath Su Xiao's feet vibrated. Large cracks appeared on the energy shield in front of him, and an impact passed through the energy shield and rushed into Su Xiao's body.
The internal organs in Su Xiao's chest cavity ached vaguely. He immediately withdrew the energy shield, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy clung to Checking Zhan Long Shan, and the long sword slashed toward Katakuri's knee.
Facing Katakuri, who was five meters tall, wanting to slash his neck was simply unrealistic. As long as his massive size didn't appear clumsy, that was an advantage that couldn't be ignored.
Su Xiao had just swung his blade when Katakuri leaped up. His legs turned into mochi and kicked straight toward Su Xiao's face.
The long sword had just slashed halfway when Su Xiao immediately withdrew the blade and placed Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying in front of him.
Just at this moment, Katakuri's body flipped in mid-air. His mochi-fied legs were soft and boneless, actually bypassing Checking Zhan Long Shan and whipping toward Su Xiao's face from the side.
Intuition ability warned him immediately. Su Xiao's forearm, wrapped in metal bracers, blocked in front of his side face.
Just when he thought Katakuri's attack was about to land, he felt a sense of crisis from beneath his feet again. Don't know when, a mass of mochi had wrapped around his leg.
Katakuri's arm turned into mochi. After coating it with Armament Haki, he punched straight into Su Xiao's lower abdomen.
With a crack, the energy shield formed at Su Xiao's lower abdomen shattered. He flew backward with a swoosh and crashed straight into a giant rock.
This was Katakuri. No matter how the enemy defended, he could predict it and use his mochi-fied body to continuously change the attack position until he inevitably hit the enemy.
If Su Xiao didn't have intuition ability, he would have been kicked away by Katakuri's U-shaped kick earlier and wouldn't have lasted until Katakuri punched.
That's right, Katakuri's kick earlier was a U-shaped kick. While dodging Checking Zhan Long Shan, he could still hit Su Xiao's head. Su Xiao's act of raising his arm to block made Katakuri abandon this strike, turning to use a mass of mochi to bind Su Xiao's movements and punching Su Xiao's lower abdomen.
As for the energy shield formed at Su Xiao's lower abdomen, Katakuri predicted that this was an inevitable result. No matter where he attacked, it would be blocked by this energy layer.
Su Xiao dragged Katakuri down for a few seconds. Doflamingo had already rushed into the large mass of mochi. Threads surged, mochi splashed, and he was searching for Cracker.
Was Doflamingo really obsessed with killing Cracker? Not really. Although Doflamingo hadn't heard of 'besieging Wei to save Zhao', he clearly understood this principle. If both were dragged down by Katakuri, that would be the worst result.
Su Xiao had just been punched into the giant rock when Katakuri rushed toward Doflamingo.
Gravel splashed. Su Xiao, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, walked out from the hole in the giant rock. Katakuri was simply monstrously strong.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Su Xiao coughed dryly several times. Although he took a punch, he discovered something very interesting: from beginning to end, Katakuri had been avoiding Checking Zhan Long Shan. ===== CHAPTER 1301 =====
