Chapter 568 567 "Katakuri Demon"
[Chapter Serialization·Chopper and the Quack 16·"You will die at 4 pm three days later"
[Chopper invites Hiluluk to have dinner together in Kuleha's tree house. Everyone is laughing so happily that the quack doctor spits out a mouthful of blood on the ground... A terminal illness is still a terminal illness after all. No matter how much you fantasize, you can't stop the approach of death. Kuleha wipes her glasses and tells the quack doctor the last time he has left...] -
Therefore, in order to officially obtain the title of Shichibukai, and also to inquire about the location of Donquixote Doflamingo from the navy, Lynch and Robin immediately set off for the navy headquarters in Marinford.
But before that, Lynch and Robin plan to stop by the Whitebeard Pirates.
Robin had also heard about the Don Quixote family, a criminal gang in the North Sea, in the newspapers.
What's more, Don Quixote Doflamingo was the one who made Lynch willing to travel a long way to visit him, and his strength was obviously recognized by Lynch.
To be on the safe side, Robin certainly doesn't mind going to the Moby Dick again to recharge his Whitebeard's power.
Speaking of which, the fact that Robin was able to use Whitebeard's Flower Clone to defeat Baron Dandan and Killer Poppy of the Big Mom Pirates this time was actually a bit special - in the past, the Flower Clone that Robin copied with the Flower-Flower Fruit could only last for a month for each object, and after a month, it was almost impossible to successfully summon the corresponding Flower Clone. For example, about a month after leaving Nine Snake Island, Robin tried to summon Hancock's Flower Clone, but failed.
For a long time, Robin had conducted tests on passers-by, and the results basically conformed to this pattern.
The flower clones of passers-by he created with Hua Zizai could only have a few more or less days in a month. If he didn't touch that person with the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit again to "renew" the power, he would not be able to successfully summon them again.
Robin could easily figure out the reason behind this - as the user of the Flower-Flower Fruit, she was able to create flower clones of herself anytime and anywhere, because the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit was constantly "updating" her power.
However, the clone of his Flower Freeze that was used to map other people was not the user of the Flower-Flower Fruit. When the state of the clone that his Flower Freeze replicated was too different from the state of the replicated body, there was a huge misalignment, so that it was impossible to achieve the thing of "the perception of the flower clone was fed back to the original body, and the power of the flower clone was copied to the original body". Therefore, his Flower Freeze clone could not be successfully summoned.
"Although Whitebeard has recovered his health, he is still over sixty years old. Unlike Hancock and I, our bodies are improving and changing every moment." Lynch thought for a moment, "So the time when Whitebeard's original body and his flower clone's state showed a significant deviation was later, and his flower clone's summonable time was also longer..."
However, I don't think it will grow much longer.
Although Whitebeard will not become stronger, he is getting weaker as he continues to age. However, the extent of the weakening is not as obvious as that of a young man who is getting stronger day by day.
Robin tried to summon his own clones of the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates that he had gathered on the Moby Dick that day, but all of them failed.
"We'll test how long the 'Flower Beard' can last when we have time later," Lin Qi said, "I'll update it first..."
Robin smiled and nodded.
…………
On the sea of the New World, the JOJO Pirates' boat sails against the waves.
In the spacious and comfortable living room of Den Den Mushi's castle, there was a piece of paper on the coffee table. It was Whitebeard's life paper that Robin had taken from Marco when she left Moby Dick.
The life paper will always move slowly towards the position of the person it represents, guiding the direction of that person...When that person is injured and his life is threatened, the life paper will spontaneously combust without fire. The more it burns, the more threatened that person's life is. If it is completely burned to ashes, it means that the person is completely dead. However, if the person is not completely dead and is rescued, the life paper that is almost burned will miraculously grow back and return to its original state.
Whitebeard's life paper moved gently in one direction on the coffee table.
"BIB" is still replaying the memories of its main body's trip this time, especially the battle between Katakuri and Aokiji.
The peculiarity of Aokiji's Ice Fruit and the never-before-seen awakening ability of the nature system greatly surprised "BIB" - exactly the same as the surprise that Lynch felt at the time.
If Akainu's Molten Fruit is of the type with absolute lethality; then Aokiji, who relies on the concealment of the true element of the Ice Fruit and creates a cold environment to slowly take away the opponent's body temperature, physical strength and even life, is of the type that kills with a blunt knife and continuously drains blood... Even if your strength is not afraid of being frozen by the opponent, you can't do anything about Aokiji, and there is a high probability that you can only watch yourself being consumed to death in the opponent's frozen field.
However, it is now easier to understand why Aokiji would lose to Akainu in the battle for the position of Grand Admiral.
Akainu, who has the ability to use the Molten Fruit, obviously doesn't care about Aokiji's style of "killing slowly by grinding blood with cold"... How could Akainu, who is himself the scorching magma, lose his strength due to the low temperature? The mutual restraint of the fruits does exist.
It's just like the restraint that Urouge had on Charlotte Snag. Snag's Suffering Fruit makes anyone who touches his skin suffer the torture of being in a frying pan, but Urouge's ability is to transform the pain into a larger size and strength every time he endures pain and attacks. It is a special ability called "karma" - Lynch has a few doubts about what Urouge's devil fruit is, but he is not sure about it. However, this ability is definitely the Suffering Fruit of Tenxnage, which is probably why Urouge was able to defeat Snag, one of the four generals of the dessert...
Speaking of the four dessert stars...
Of course, "BIB" did not miss the several attempts in the main body's memory to test Charlotte Katakuri's Observation Haki, which was able to foresee the future.
"How is it?" Lynch asked with a smile while drinking fresh flower milk tea. "Your guess about his future observation Haki should be the same as mine, right?"
"Of course..." The Stand Armor's narrow eyes were filled with watching, replaying the scenes in the Big Mom chapter where Kaji appeared several times and showed his ability to foresee the future.
After Lynch came back, he reviewed these comic clips and made some confirmations.
"Katakuri's so-called 'foreseeing the future' is not an ability related to time." Lynch said confidently, "Haki is just Haki after all, and Observation Haki is just Observation Haki after all. Even if it has evolved after training, it will only extend the original ability, and it is impossible to suddenly steal the authority of time... This is not a fantasy world, how can one suddenly comprehend the law of time? This is nonsense!"
"And the evidence is -" Lynch said, "the 'future' he foresaw does not always come true! I used the King's Fist to test it and confirmed this."
"BIB" said slowly: "You didn't really want to use the King's Fist to attack Mondor and the others at that time... It's just that your King's Fist, which accumulates power very slowly, has become a huge threat to Katakuri's "foreseeing the future" observation Haki... In other words, judging from the increasing danger of your fist, the probability of you killing Mondor and the others with your fist is very high."
The future that Katakuri foresees is not the real future.
At the tea party in the Big Mom chapter of the comic, Katakuri used his Observation Haki to foresee that one of the guests would make a statement of revenge, and then he shot that person with a jelly bean in advance... In other words, in fact, the other party did not say the words that Katakuri foresaw at all! Although it is just a very subtle detail, it is enough for Lynch to infer the truth of Katakuri's Observation Haki that can foresee the future.
The truth is often simple, and even makes people feel disappointed: “That’s it?”
"Observation Haki can 'foresee the future'." Lin Qi finished drinking a cup of flower milk tea and smiled, "Otherwise, how can you predict the opponent's upcoming attack?"
In the comics, whether it is the heart net on Sky Island or Luffy's fight with the sisters Sanda and Mari on Nine Snake Island, how he will punch and from which direction he will kick are all predicted by Eneel, Sanda, and Mari's observation Haki.
Isn't this "foreseeing the future"? It's just a very small future.
Moreover, ordinary observation Haki cannot be like Katakuri, who can even see the clear "future scene" a few seconds later. What's even more weird is that he can see in advance what others will say a few seconds later...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"BIB" crossed his arms, "We must be thinking of the same word..."
"Of course." Lin Qi sighed, "We have to thank those online novels for popularizing science..."
After a pause, he and his stand simultaneously uttered a term: Laplace's demon.
…
"Laplace's demon?"
Robin came back from making a pot of coffee and just happened to hear Lynch mutter the word, which made him feel a little confused.
"BIB"'s narrow eyes glowed with light as he quickly pulled up the definition of an encyclopedia entry and read: "Suppose there is an omnipresent, omniscient fairy who knows all the forces of natural motion and the positions of all natural objects at a certain moment, and can analyze this data. Then, for this fairy, nothing will be ambiguous, and the future will only appear before it like the past..."
Robin digested the concept of this hypothesis, that is, the hypothetical "Laplace's Demon" knew all the "causes" of the past, and thus could foresee the "results" of the future? Lynch then told her about Charlotte Katakuri and his Observation Haki that could foresee the future.
"You mean--" Robin was quick-witted and immediately caught onto Lynch's train of thought. He asked in surprise, "Katakuri used his Observation Haki to collect the aura of everything around him, and thus was able to 'foresee the future'?"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. It sounds good, doesn't it? When one's observation Haki is cultivated to the point where one can observe everything around him in great detail, countless 'ultra-fine futures' of countless tiny things are piled up, consciously or unconsciously summarized in the subconscious mind, and then 'bang' - a wonderful thing happens! The future scene is 'played in advance' through the observation Haki..."
However, in this case, perhaps the observation Haki that Katakuri has cultivated and can foresee the short future should be called - Katakuri Demon?
…………
After the boat sailed on the sea for a while, a black ghost flew out holding a green Den Den Mushi, knocked the latter against the hull, and the whole boat disappeared with a BIU.
"BIB" held Little Green in his arms and flew over the sea of the New World.
And in Little Green's right eye, Lynch was holding Robin and sitting on the edge of the castle portal, admiring the ever-changing weather wonders on the sea of the New World.
In Robin's hand was Whitebeard's life paper, reminding "BIB" outside the correct direction from time to time.
After all, they are about to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the outside world seems to believe that there is an irreconcilable hatred between their JOJO Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates... At this time, it is indeed not convenient to drive the boat directly to Whitebeard's ship openly.
…
In a certain sea area, the White Whale.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were counting their spoils on the deck. Marco was treating the injuries of several injured brothers when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Hey, who beat you up?"
Marco's face darkened, and he turned around to see Giorno and Jolyne who suddenly appeared on the deck. Jolyne was still so quiet, as if she was always observing her surroundings, and Giorno was still so... making people want to punch him.
I 'm not feeling well today, so I'll take a break. Although there are only two chapters, they add up to 7,200 words... It's different from the 4,000 words I used to clock in and finish the work! It seems that there will be double monthly tickets at the end of the month. I'm conserving my energy today, and I'll definitely go for it when the time comes! I'm already thinking about how to ask for 3,000 monthly tickets (looking up to the sky)
