Chapter 73 Who will repair the dam?
The moves collided and both of them took a few steps back.
Then both sides stepped forward at the same time and began a competition of strength and speed, each of them making continuous attacks.
Katakuri's left-hand fist and right-hand halberd were moving continuously and unstoppably, and each attack was as powerful as thunder.
Jerry's punches and kicks were as fast as the wind, and his attacks were as swift as a dragon. Every move he made was not to be underestimated, and they poured out like a torrential rain.
The wind was whistling and the air waves were rolling. After a short while, the surrounding area had become even more bumpy.
In order to deal with Jerry's agile and dazzling close combat, Katakuri grabbed the handle of the halberd in his hand, swung it to the side, and also chose close combat.
Just talking about his own hands, Katakuri's attack frequency cannot match Jerry's high speed.
Given the greater height difference than Cracker's previous attack, Jerry used both his fists and feet, jumping up and down, and using all four limbs, while Katakuri was mostly used to using only his upper limbs.
But like Cracker, he can use his abilities to condense into multiple arms and even legs.
"Ningli rice cake!"
During the fight, Katakuri found that his two arms were not enough, so he instantly transformed many long rice cakes on both sides of his body.
The rice cake turned into a fist, hardened with the armed color domineering, and increased the firepower output towards Jerry. In an instant, he launched several times the number of attacks before, launching an all-round random attack.
Faced with the sudden increase in fists, Jerry remained calm and responded calmly.
At this moment, he no longer tried, and his whole body moved as if the accelerator was on, his figure was erratic and his moves were as fast as lightning.
"This fist is really hard. You are worthy of being the pillar of the Big Mom Pirates."
As the battle continued, Jerry was moved as he felt Katakuri's fist that was heavier than a thousand pounds.
You have to know that the opponent was able to beat Luffy, who had been at sea for more than two years and had not yet started cheating, without any chance of fighting back.
But fortunately, I am not weak, Jerry thought, and threw himself into the seemingly endless sea of fists again.
After a long and fierce fight, the two men punched and kicked each other vigorously, but there were not many scars on their bodies.
This was because most of the attacks were offset by the two of them, and the aura was surging between their fists and feet.
Jerry's body is as fast as the wind, and he can always dodge at the critical moment. Even if he can't dodge and is hit and knocked away, his body is as slippery as a fish, and some of the force is released while twisting. In addition, with the defense of armed color, he is rarely injured.
Moreover, even if he cannot suffocate the opponent, he is at least the one who takes the initiative and attacks more and defends less.
Katakuri habitually maintained his powerful Observation Haki that allowed him to briefly foresee the future.
Whenever he was unable to resist, he would control the attacked part of his body to turn it into a glutinous rice hole in advance and avoid the attack unscathed. If he was too late, he would harden the attacked part with his armed color to resist.
This made the previous fight between the two seem like a lot of noise but little action. After fighting for a long time, both sides only suffered minor injuries, which did not affect their performance at all.
As time passed and the battle became fierce, Jerry no longer just used physical attacks. As he swung his fists and feet, a large number of water droplets strong enough to split mountains and rocks condensed in the surrounding air and shot towards the enemy.
Jerry's offensive became stronger and stronger, and his attacks became faster and more frequent.
"Hey!"
He seized the opportunity and, amidst thousands of attacks, swiftly kicked Katakuri in the chest.
"Boom!"
Ka Er was unable to react in time and was hit hard, sending him flying backwards.
But when his back was about to hit the wall of the building behind him, he turned his body abruptly, stepped on the ground with his feet, half-crouched and slid backwards to relieve the force, and finally stopped before touching the vertical wall.
"Crack!"
The ground along the way that he used as a force-relieving point began to crack and spread in all directions.
"Hey! Are you kidding me? What's going on today? Is he going to defeat all four generals?"
"Eh? That's a good idea. It's a good headline title."
"That's absolutely impossible. Lord Katakuri will not lose!"
"Ah, but now this..."
The spectators, who had been affected by the tense atmosphere of the fight scene, looked at the battle situation at this time and saw that even Katakuri was at a disadvantage. Everyone once again felt that they might be dreaming.
Among the many onlookers, in addition to the pirates from all sides, there were also reporters who were looking for some big news.
In the low voices, everyone had different opinions, but most of them found it incredible.
You know, Katakuri is regarded as the strongest fighter in the BIG MOM Pirates, second only to Big Mom Charlotte Linlin. He has always been a perfect and powerful man.
It can be said that it has been invincible in the past four-way conquests, and even in the waters of the New World, it is a top-level existence.
But now he was facing Dragon Fist Jerry, and the fight was evenly matched, and he was even defeated.
Everyone feels familiar yet unfamiliar with Jerry, this ruthless character who suddenly appears.
Many onlookers didn't know who he was at first, and only heard the information from other people.
Although Jerry's bounty is over 100 million, he hasn't done anything sensational in a long time.
Due to unknown reasons, only a few people knew about the news in Wano Country, and it was not spread on the sea.
Then, in the past six months, even though he had helped the Whitebeard Pirates on several expeditions, the focus of those events was not on him.
It gives people the feeling that they are just doing nothing, taking advantage of the situation, and traveling and checking in everywhere.
Jerry now has a pretty good idea of Katakuri's abilities and fighting style, and his observation Haki is not much worse than his.
Therefore, Jerry understood that if he wanted to defeat the man in front of him, he would have to go to great lengths.
Because of the existence of that exaggerated observation Haki, as long as Katakuri can stay calm and keep working, he can predict any moves of his opponent in advance.
In order to hit him, either the attack must be strong enough and large enough in range to make Katakuri unable to resist, or the attack frequency must be extremely high and the speed must be so fast that even if Katakuri can foresee it, he will not be able to react.
Of course, Jerry's options are not limited to this. He can take advantage of the port terrain here, with its back to the sea and plenty of water, and incorporate a large amount of water flow into his moves, turning each move into a range attack, which can be intertwined to leave the enemy with nowhere to escape.
In addition, there is an ultimate option, which is to manipulate huge amounts of sea water to form a large tsunami, directly flooding Jinshan Mountain and turning the table over. No one would fight, or they could fight at sea.
At this time, Katakuri stood up straight again, his eyes were as cold as ice, he pursed his lips tightly, and forced himself to swallow back the little blood that he wanted to spit out of his mouth.
On the other hand, Jerry, after hitting his opponent, landed gracefully on the ground, ready to collide with his opponent again at any time.
In the moment when Jerry was distracted thinking, Katakuri bent down again and supported himself on the ground with his hands.
"Flowing glutinous rice balls!"
With him as the starting point, the entire ground turned into a sticky ball and rushed towards Jerry like a stream of water.
It turned out that Katakuri had entered the awakened state of his Mochi-Mochi Fruit, directly assimilating the surrounding environment into an extension of his abilities.
"Huh!? Not good!"
But he had just made his move when his expression froze. He quickly turned his head and shouted to his subordinates who had stayed around after rescuing Cracker:
"Retreat quickly! Quickly!"
"Water Style: Damaixiuha!"
