General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 741 Shock Fruit?

Along with the black air as dark as ink, strands of black air quickly emerged from the palms of Tiqi's open hands, and a huge suction force as huge as a black hole was born out of thin air between his hands.

And black lines as thin as hair stretched out in mid-air, connecting to the surface of Katakuri's tall body like smoke.

In an instant, Katakuri felt a terrifying suction force acting on himself.

His body seemed to be grabbed by countless invisible hands and dragged in the direction of Tiqi.

"Unparalleled rice cake blade bomb!"

Katakuri's face was stern and extremely calm. He waved his hand and threw out balls of snow-white glutinous rice balls in the direction of the suction force. Those glutinous balls rotated in mid-air, transforming into gear-like rice cakes. Countless black sharp thorns protruded from the edges, cutting the air, emitting a piercing scream, and shot towards Tiqi.

Moreover, driven by the huge suction force released by Tiqi, the laser speed of the rice cake blade bullet increased sharply again, like a phantom that wiped out the flowing arrow.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy to deal with you, the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family."

Tiqi snorted coldly, but had no intention of dodging, and allowed countless rice cake blade bullets to hit her body.

The suction force that erupted in the palm of his hand became stronger and stronger. Even Katakuri was unable to offset the suction force and was pulled up to fly towards him.

Katakuri's eyes narrowed, but he saw that the rice cake blade bullets he shot penetrated Tikki's body and disappeared the moment they hit the surface of his body.

This kind of penetration is not the penetration effect of natural elements, it is more like the attack that hit Tiqi, which was swallowed up by him and entered another space.

His body surface was covered with a layer of pitch-black black air at some point. Those blades hit the black air and were swallowed up, as if they had entered a black hole and disappeared completely without causing any waves. .

Seeing this scene, Katakuri frowned slightly.

It was not like he had never fought with natural ability users who could perform elementalization.

In the G1 sea battle, he had faced off against Aokiji.

But even if someone is as strong as Aokiji, when he is hit by his attack, at least some ice shards will explode from his body, instead of appearing unscathed like Tiqi.

This is not normal.

In the previous few confrontations, he had briefly fought against Tiqi, but he had never seen the other party display the ability to absorb damage now.

Has this guy been hiding his true strength, or has he made a new breakthrough in ability development?

Katakuri didn't think about it.

It doesn't matter if Tikki is strong or not.

Because, no matter how strong he is, he will never be his opponent!

"Overlord color entanglement!"

Katakuri's eyes shrank, and his right arm, which was longer than Tiki's height, bent at the elbow. Black spikes sprouted out, and at the same time, there were bunches of black and red that exuded a terrifying aura. Overlord-colored lightning wrapped around it and struck Tiqi on the head as she approached quickly.

"Cut the rice cake!"

"Boom!"

The air between the two of them seemed to have been detonated by a massive amount of explosives, creating a chaotic impact airflow that made Tiqi unable to open her eyes. The hat covering her head was blown away and splashed. of black and red lightning.

"Ward!"

A trace of strong fear flashed deep in Tiki's eyes, and she roared violently. At the same time, instead of retreating, she advanced forward, thrust forward her hands that were emitting a lot of black energy, regardless of the fact that her palms were covered by the bulges on Katakuri's arms. The danger of being pierced by black spikes grabbed his right arm that was swung over.

As Katakuri's arms came into contact with his hands, a strange suppressive force that Katakuri could not resist made the Nuo Nuo Fruit ability in him disappear instantly as if it had malfunctioned.

His right arm that swelled and enlarged, as well as the black spikes emerging from the surface of the arm, were all transformed from the Nuo Nuo fruit's ability, so they disappeared and dissipated instantly.

But the majestic and domineering appearance covering his tall body and the terrifying physical talent he inherited from Charlotte Lingling are still there, without any reduction.

Tiqi only heard two crisp clicks, and the next moment he felt the heart-breaking pain on his wrists, making him scream in pain.

He saw Katakuri's right arm being smashed by him, and he stretched out his hands to grab Katakuri's right arm. He was shocked by the terrifying crushing force of the opponent, bending and breaking, and his skin and muscles were torn. It was cracked, and even white bone stubble protruded from the broken wound, making people's scalp numb when they saw it.

Katakuri, who injured Tikki with one successful blow, was also punched in the right waist and abdomen by Walder who arrived in time.

"Momo, speed a hundred times! Armed with a giant cannon!"

Walder's punch speed increased by a hundred times, reaching the terrifying ten times the speed of sound. With one punch, the air twisted in front of his fist and spiraled around, forming a cone-shaped air shock wave that hit Katakuri's ribs like a drill.

The terrifying power caused Katakuri's nearly six-meter-tall body to arch to the left and fly out in front of Tikki, smashing into pieces the syrup wall created by Perospero using his ability to lick the fruit. After being thrown hundreds of meters, he used the Nuo Nuo Fruit ability that he recovered after being freed from Tiqi's touch to make the ground waxy, giving birth to glutinous ball tentacles to grab his body, stopping the castration and stopping.

Katakuri fell to the ground, looked down at his ribs, and saw an obvious dented fist mark there. The skin and muscles around the fist mark were torn, and a large amount of blood oozed out. Two of the ribs inside were broken, and there was a stinging pain, but Katakuri remained expressionless.

He raised his right foot high and stepped heavily on the ground in front of him.

"Awaken! The waxy realm!"

"Crash!"

The ground under his feet was instantly affected by the awakened Nuo Nuo Fruit ability and turned into a sticky glutinous ball. As he stepped down, the ground surged like waves, stacking up and swarming towards everyone outside the Charlotte family.

The land with a radius of several hundred meters was affected by Katakuri's ability and turned into surging waves.

The pirates who were standing on the ruins of the town and on the outskirts of the forest to snatch gold were immediately horrified to see that their feet were stuck to the sticky waves, and they were tumbling forward with their bodies.

During the surging process, each pirate was like a fly stuck on a fly board, unable to break free from the white waxy waves, and was swallowed up by the rolling waxy waves, as if trapped in the depths of a swamp.

Only a handful of powerful pirates can react in time and use their powerful jumping abilities to avoid the changing ground beneath their feet.

"Hahahaha, thief, you can develop a superhuman fruit to a level comparable to a natural fruit. You are indeed the best son born by that fat woman Charlotte Lingling."

Facing the white waxy waves surging in front of her like a tsunami, Tiki grinned. She still had time to turn her head to look at Perospero, who had already retreated to the mine with his men, and mocked unceremoniously: " Unlike this waste, he is obviously Charlotte Lingling's eldest son, but he is a pure waste, with no brains, no strength, and can't even win the position of a general. "

"Bastard Blackbeard!" Perospero's face turned red. He looked at Blackbeard angrily and said bitterly, "Just wait, Kaido will be here soon. Let me see how you can escape with your tail between your legs."

Tiqi sneered and ignored him. Black air spurted out from her hands like a fountain, covering the severed hands with bone stubble.

As the blood vessels on his face bulged, several groans were squeezed out of his throat. When the black air that enveloped his severed hands dissipated, his hands returned to their original state again, as if they had never been attacked by Katakuri.

Walder still had a conscience and did not move away. Instead, he stood in front of him and fired a crude cannon at the incoming white waves. Under the hundred-fold amplification and hundred-fold rapid increase of Momo Fruit, the most ordinary cannonball can produce a terrifying explosion effect comparable to that of a meteorite, blasting the incoming Nuolang land into pieces.

"let me!"

Tiqi stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, leaned down with a grin, and slammed her hands on the ground beneath her.

"Dark acupoint!"

"Whoosh!"

Thick black energy like thick ink spurted out from his body like a tide, spreading rapidly in all directions.

In just a few breaths, the ground with a radius of several hundred meters was covered with black air, as if the entrance to hell had been opened by Tiki herself. The boiling black air swallowed up the surging white waxy waves and headed towards Kataku in the opposite direction. Li, Perospero and others spread over.

A huge suction force exploded, and the ground boiling with black energy was like a black hole, grabbing all the surrounding pirates and dragging them into the black energy.

"No! We are not enemies! We can deal with the Beast Pirates together!"

The pirate captains and officers who had escaped Katakuri's attack looked at their bodies in horror as they were entangled in countless tentacle-like black energy, unable to resist and dragged into the depths of the bottomless black hole. They hurriedly attacked Tiki. and Walder yelled.

"That's right! We are not enemies! I can give you gold and we can cooperate!"

"The Beast Pirates are too powerful. We must not kill each other. Only by cooperating can we fight against them together and take away the gold here."

The pirates shouted eagerly, but Tikki and Walder turned a deaf ear.

They didn't even bother to look at these people.

On the ground, infinite suction force exploded, pulling the pirates of the Beast Pirates and the surrounding New World pirates into his dark cave space. Only the members of the Ward Pirates were not affected by this huge suction force, but they did not dare to get close to the center of the battlefield where Tikki, Ward, and Katakuri were fighting. Instead, under the leadership of Ward's brother, Binjack, the deputy captain of the Ward Pirates, they rushed to the mine and began frantically digging for the gold mine underground.

Seeing that the safety of his younger brothers and sisters was threatened by the Ward Pirates because of the strong suction force of Tiki's secret acupoint, Katakuri finally broke out.

"Buzz!"

A terrifying black and red overlord-colored energy storm suddenly surged out from his tall body, sweeping across all directions in an instant.

With that extremely powerful momentum, even the dark acupoint space released by Tiqi was annihilated by the impact and shrunk a lot.

The terrifying overlord color swept across all directions, shocking the pirates of the Ward Pirates to the point of dizziness. The weaker ones even vomited blood and were shocked to the point of vomiting blood and getting injured.

Katakuri himself, on the other hand, bowed his body and his back exploded. As the glutinous mass surged, his python-like arms, entwined by his thick armed-colored Haki and Overlord-colored Haki, jumped across. Hundreds of meters of sky shot towards Tikki and Wald from top to bottom and from all directions.

There were also dozens or hundreds of huge glutinous arms, which smashed into hundreds of Ward Pirates including Binjack.

Katakuri actually wanted to deal with the entire Ward Pirates on his own.

"Ba Tang! Nuotuan moaned!" "This guy is going crazy. Those trash in the Charlotte family are his counter scales. Walder! Take action with all your strength!"

Tiqi shouted, pressing the ground with her palms, and infinite black energy spurted upward, like black crude oil erupting from deep underground, swallowing up the glutinous fists that were blasted one after another.

"Dark acupoint! Black sun breaks out!"

The turbulent black air covered the sky and the sun, turning Songruan Island into a hell.

Swallowed by the black energy, the giant glutinous fists that were smashed one after another, even if they were wrapped in thick armed and overlord-colored domineering energy and dispersed part of the black energy, they were still inevitably swallowed up and disappeared by the black energy. .

It's just that the speed of being swallowed has slowed down.

At the same time, the black energy on the ground also spread to Katakuri's feet and was frantically wrapping around his body, trying to drag him into the bottomless dark acupoint space.

There was a fierce light in Walder's eyes, and while Tiki was restraining Katakuri, his body wrapped in jet-black domineering power disappeared suddenly, and came behind Katakuri. His fists increased a hundred times faster, and he aimed towards Katakuri's body. Countless fist shadows shot out from his body.

"A hundred times the speed! Phantom Punch!"

While Katakuri was attacking the entire Ward Pirates, resisting Tikki's secret acupoint pull, he released countless glutinous giant fists, which popped out from various parts of his body, like a bunch of untouchable hedgehogs. Generally, they shoot and bombard in all directions.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the continuous exchange of explosions, Walder swung a heavy punch at a hundred times speed, dodging most of the giant glutinous fists wrapped with terrifying domineering energy, and blasted the attack on Katakuri's body, knocking Katakuri away. Kuri staggered, unable to stand firmly, and there was a crackling sound coming from his body.

The rapid consumption of Haki made the Haki armor covering his body become a little thin.

At this moment, one person was fighting against the entire Ward Pirates, and was immediately hit hard by Ward who was too fast.

However, Walder, who made a sneak attack, could not completely avoid Katakuri's indiscriminate bombardment. Occasionally, he would be hit in the body by a huge glutinous fist, and he would cough up blood and fly backwards. But in order to kill Katakuri, he had to endure the injury, ran back again, and continued to deal fierce damage to Katakuri.

Just when the fight on the island was getting fierce, a hot air balloon suddenly floated over the sea outside Songruan Island and hovered over the island, attracting ships that were crowding around and trying to grab the anchorage on the sea. , the eyes of the pirates who left this dangerous island.

I saw that the hot air balloon hovering in mid-air was printed with a seagull fluttering on an aqua blue planet.

"It's Big News Morgans' Seagull Pictures!" Some pirates recognized the meaning of the logo.

In the basket hanging under the hot air balloon, an enthusiastic news reporter with an excited face and no fear at all because of the fierce fighting on the island below quickly took out a video phone bug capable of live broadcasting around the world and aimed it at Soft Island below.

The young reporter took out a loudspeaker Den Den Mushi from his arms, cleared his throat, and prepared to start his live news report.

This is Seagull Pictures' first real-time news broadcast to the world. Marbury feels extremely honored that the president can entrust this important task to him.

He vowed to complete this important task perfectly even if he sacrificed his own life.

When the recorded video was projected over Soft Island, Marbury immediately spoke to the loudspeaker phone in his hand and broadcast the report seriously with a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Hello everyone, I am Marbury, a news reporter from Seagull Pictures. Now, let me give you the first global news broadcast of Seagull Pictures. As you can see, in front of us, is the new world Tote The loose island in the blue sea."

"Most viewers may have never heard of Soft Island, but everyone is certainly familiar with Totland Sea. Yes, this is the Totland of All Nations owned by the original Four Emperors of the New World, bigmom Charlotte Lingling. And Soft Island, It is one of the original thirty-four islands in the Totland Sea area and the current thirty-three islands.”

"Through the live broadcast, you can see that a huge bloody battle is taking place on the loose island below. The Yonko Beast Pirates are fighting against the Ward Pirates. The two sides are fighting extremely fiercely. , has caused huge casualties to each of them, and affected thousands of New World pirates on the island, resulting in the annihilation of more than a dozen large and small pirate groups. "

"The strong man headed by the Beasts Pirates is the fourth general Charlotte Katakuri, the son of the former Big Mom Charlotte Lingling. The Ward Pirates are out in full force, leading all the strong men under their command. Yes, it’s their captain, the World Destroyer Bondiwald who possesses the Momo Fruit!”

"So what is the reason why the two big pirate groups in the New World had such a fierce battle on Soft Island?"

After Marbury gave up for a moment, he said in a louder voice: "The answer is gold! That's right! On the island below, there is a gold mine with a reserve of more than thousands of tons. This value is worth several thousand tons. Even the Four Emperors, who are as powerful as the New World, can't help but snatch the huge wealth of hundreds of billions! But that's not the real reason for their fight!"

With that said, Marbury took out a phone bug that recorded the video, connected it to the world live broadcast, and played the video recorded inside.

The Image Phone Bug's eyes opened and faced the mid-air of Soft Island, projecting a hazy picture of light and shadow.

Because it was projected in mid-air, the picture looked a little blurry. The pirates on the scene couldn't see it clearly at all, but the audience from all over the world who received the video phone bug signal could see it clearly.

At the entrance of the gold mine, Walder, Tikki, Katakuri and others who were fighting had already noticed the news hot air balloon hovering in the sky.

At first, a few people were not interested in Marbury, who was reporting the news.

The reporters of the News of the World, just like their president Morgans, are a group of lunatics who will risk their lives in order to find news with huge gimmicks.

There shouldn't be too many journalists like Marbury in the News of the World.

Generally speaking, no matter which force in the world it is, they will not rashly offend a neutral camp like the World News Agency.

Because once you offend the news agency, not only will you be blacklisted in the future, but you will no longer be able to buy newspapers from the newspaper delivery seagull. And even if the bounty on the pirates is increased, the World News Agency can exert a huge influence by not publishing their bounty order in the newspaper, so that the pirates cannot gain fame by increasing the bounty.

No matter which of the above targeting methods is used, it is enough to cause huge losses to the pirates.

Therefore, no matter which force it is, it will not take action against a neutral newspaper unless necessary.

Walder and Tikki thought the same way, so they didn't pay attention at first.

But when Marbury said that their real purpose was not to find the gold mine on Soft Island, the two of them were stunned.

The real purpose?
Could it be that what Marbury is saying is that they are here to find Baynes and Gary?

Walder could only think of this.

Because apart from that, they really came here just to grab the gold mines so that they could earn Bailey and recruit soldiers in the new world.

Although several people were still fighting fiercely, they all involuntarily paid some attention to the blurry image projected in the sky.

Then, Walder and Tikki saw the image of Bynes.

In the flickering hazy picture, Bynes was covered in blood, with a crazy smile on his face. He was holding a very blurry blue light and shadow in his hand, which was somewhat unclear.

He seemed to be saying something, with a strong expression of annoyance and remorse on his face, but he also laughed maniacally from time to time, as if he was in some kind of crazy state.

Tikki narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Bynes's unusual behavior with confusion, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the blue light and shadow in his hand.

The blue light and shadow took on a gourd shape, and circles of more blurry spiral texture seemed to be outlined on it.

That seems to be...

"Is that a Devil Fruit?" Walder was the first to express the doubts that arose in Tikki's mind. "That idiot Bynes actually got a Devil Fruit here? What kind of Devil Fruit was it? It made him act like a madman. Crying and laughing at the same time?”

"Devil Fruit..." Tikki frowned and looked at the blurry Devil Fruit held by Bynes in the flickering screen, and a vague idea gradually became clear in her mind.

His pupils widened little by little, and scarlet bloodshot threads filled the two eyeballs. When his mind was lost, the black energy released in his hands dissipated so much that Katakuri took advantage of it. He kicked him in the chest, spurting out a large mouthful of blood and flying backwards, slamming into the ruins behind him.

However, Tiqi seemed not to notice. She supported her body and climbed up from the ruins. She raised her head in confusion and looked at the dancing blue light and shadow.

A gourd-shaped, blue devil fruit with a crazy look on his face.

The combination of several factors caused the name to emerge uncontrollably in Tiki's mind after reading the Devil Fruit illustrated book.

That was the fruit ability that he wanted to obtain most after spending half his life to obtain the Dark Fruit that he longed for.

Walder and Katakuri obviously noticed Tikki's gaffe, and they were immediately confused and followed his gaze to the sky.

In the sky, Marbury announced news like a big explosion.

"Did everyone see it? The picture is a secret picture that our reporter risked his life to take. The bearded pirate in the picture is a senior combatant of the Ward Pirates, and the great pirate Byrne who escaped from Impel Down City Si. The fruit he holds in his hand is the legendary Superman-type Zhenzhen Fruit!"

"That's right! It's the power of the late Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, who can set off a world-destroying tsunami, a super-human shock fruit with the power to destroy the world!"

"I have reason to believe that what can cause the Beasts Pirates and the Ward Pirates to fight to the death is definitely not only the gold mine, but more importantly, this superhuman shock fruit. Because as long as you have this ability , that is the next Whitebeard, the next Yonko, the next strongest in the world!”

Marbury's words, as the amplifier phone worm expanded, echoed throughout the soft island and reached the ears of every audience in front of the world's live broadcast.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be silent.

On Soft Island, the pirates' eyes widened, their mouths opened, their faces full of shock, and then their eyes turned red, revealing a greed that was even more exciting than robbing a gold mine!

"Hey! Is it true? There are earthquake fruits on this island?"

"That's the ability of Whitebeard! As long as I can eat the Shock Fruit, I can become a man as powerful as Whitebeard and sit on the throne of the Four Emperors. With that kind of power that can destroy the world, I can For damn gold, I can get everything!”

The pirates who originally wanted to rob the pirate ship and escape fell into a greedy and crazy state of mind. They no longer thought about escaping, but turned back to look at the soft island.

As for Walder and Katakuri, who were in the center of the island, their bodies were greatly shaken, and they were uncontrollably shocked by the news that Marbury said.

"Shock Fruit? That guy Bynes actually found Whitebeard's Shock Fruit here?" Walder's eyes widened, his voice became hoarse, and he screamed like a woman caught in bed, "He Where? Where did he go? Who can tell me, where did that lucky bastard go? "

Of all the people, Tikki was the most excited.

His whole body was shaking, from the inside out, from his mind to his body, he was shaking uncontrollably.

"Zhenzhen Fruit, Zhenzhen Fruit, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that fruit to be reborn here. Could it be said that it was reborn because I came here? That guy Bynes already has the ability of the Chain Fruit , he can’t eat the Zhenzhen Fruit. I have to find him, it’s mine, and no one can take it away!”

Tiqi's eyes were red, and thick blood vessels bulged on his face, making him look like a demon.

At the same time, viewers in front of the live broadcasts around the world were stunned by Marbury's news, and then there was an uproar!
