Chapter 373: Fierce Battle, the Future Four Emperors at their Peak! (Two in One)
Although Katakuri's absolute speed is not as fast as Tsugakuni Yoriichi's, his observation Haki has reached the level of foreseeing the future. This ability can be effective even when facing Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
Early warning allows for early action, so when the golden light shooting towards BIG MOM reached mid-air, Katakuri's long-haired mane arrived in time and stabbed at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi who had transformed into the light.
The sticky ball thrusts forward.
The three-edged long hair was in a state of high-speed rotation when it stabbed Yoriichi Tsugikuni. In this way, Katakuri could maximize his attack power.
Although his fight with Yoriichi Tsugakuni was brief, the scene where Yoriichi Tsugakuni used his body to block his attack left a deep impression in his mind.
In this ocean, the strongest people standing at the top actually have one thing in common, that is, while they possess extremely strong attack power, they also often possess extremely strong defense power.
Big Mom is that kind of person, and Tsugikuni Yuichiro is actually that kind of person too.
Katakuri knew that ordinary attacks were simply not going to break through Tsugakuni Yoriichi's defenses and pose a threat to him. Although he didn't want to escalate the conflict, since Big Mom had already taken action, he could only wholeheartedly help MAMA and immediately gave it his all.
The whistling spear stirred up a hurricane. With Tsugakuni Yoriichi's level of observation Haki, he naturally anticipated this situation. The future he saw was even farther than Katakuri's!
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni flew towards BIG MOM without slowing down, but when Katakuri's spear was about to hit him, he quickly grabbed another long sword at his waist with his left hand.
The first generation of Kitetsu was quickly pulled out by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and blocked at his side. The long hairs that attacked his waist and abdomen directly hit the blade of Kitetsu.
"Dang!!!" After a loud noise, the three-bladed spear was blocked. Ji Guoyuan in the air paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward, directly coming to the top of BIG MOM's head and slashing at BIG MOM's head with his sword.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was very fast, but after being reminded by Katakuri, BIG MOM had already reacted. What's more, Katakuri's attack also slowed down Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's speed.
When Tsugikuni Yoshiichi drew his sword and struck back, a ball of fire, like a cloud, quickly descended upon Big Mom's feet. Homies, whom Big Mom called Prometheus, appeared, carrying Big Mom and levitating her.
At the same time, the tall BIG MOM was not afraid of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's attack at all. An excited look appeared on her face, and she swung her sword directly at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.
Levitating to her feet was simply to allow Big Mom's power to flow more smoothly. Charlotte Linlin, the king of the New World's oceans, perennially at the top of the food chain, couldn't possibly stand still and passively defend herself against Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack.
"Who do you think I am, little brat?!"
"You've only gained some fame, don't get carried away!!"
BIG MOM swung her sword in counterattack and let out a loud shout. The ring-handled sword quickly collided with the long sword in Ji Guoyuan's hand.
The two men's domineering auras collided again at this moment, and a terrifying aura instantly gushed out in all directions.
The blades were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni in mid-air was the first to run out of strength. He was somewhat different from Big Mom, as the other had support under his feet, but he did not.
Realizing that he could not withstand the opponent's huge strength, Ji Guoyuan changed his tactics first. He quickly pressed his wrist downwards to reduce the opponent's slashing force. At the same time, he used the recoil force to fly up again. Then he flipped his body in the air and easily passed over BIG MOM's long sword, and then quickly fell towards BIG MOM's chest.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's figure once again turned into a golden stream of light, and in an instant, he arrived in front of BIG MOM, and then the long sword directly slashed the center of BIG MOM's chest.
This time, Katakuri was unable to help his MAMA. Tsugakuni Yoriichi and BIG MOM were too close to each other, and it only took a short moment for Tsugakuni Yoriichi to show his intention to change his moves and attack BIG MOM.
Although Katakuri was aware of what was going to happen, he had no time to remind his MAMA.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's long sword slashed on BIG MOM's chest, but unlike the scene of blood spurting out as others imagined, under Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's slash, BIG MOM's figure quickly flew backwards, and although a blood mark appeared on her body, only a small amount of blood seeped out of it.
The knife that Jiguo Yuanyi used did not cut deep.
"boom!!!!"
Big Mom's huge body fell from Prometheus and crashed into the ground with a loud bang under the gaze of Katakuri, Cracker and others.
Ji Guoyuan grabbed the knife, his body surrounded by golden flames, floating in the air, his brows slightly furrowed.
"This feeling of slashing"
"How is that possible?"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was secretly surprised. Although he didn't intend to kill Big Mom completely, he also intended to make Big Mom suffer a little with this blow so that she would give up.
After all, if he doesn't establish his authority today, if the BIG MOM Pirates hold a grudge against him and plan to cause trouble for Yoriichi Tsugakuni, it will also cause a lot of trouble for Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
It is necessary to show your strong power and make the other party be cautious and behave themselves.
But unexpectedly, with one blow, he didn't seem to cause much damage to the opponent.
"Mother!!"
As Big Mom's figure fell from mid-air, her children immediately screamed and shouted, looking towards the cloud of dust in the distance.
"ah!!!"
At this moment, the smoke and dust covering BIG MOM's body was directly dispersed by BIG MOM's scream. BIG MOM stood on the ground, raised her head and stared at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, releasing the terrifying domineering aura and pounced towards Tsugakuin Yoshiichi in mid-air.
Big Mom looked furious, and it was obvious that she was completely enraged.
Under the pressure of BIG MOM's domineering aura, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze quickly looked at BIG MOM's body. There was a long knife wound on BIG MOM's chest, and golden flames were attached to the surface of her skin.
However, as Big Mom released her terrifying Conqueror's Haki, the golden flame quickly shrank and was completely extinguished. Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki was so strong that it was able to offset some of the power of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's Devil Fruit.
The golden flame disappeared, leaving only a long bloody mark on BIG MOM's chest, with only a small amount of blood flowing out of it.
When BIG MOM's children saw that their mother was injured in the battle, their faces changed drastically.
How many years have you lived?
Big Mom had roamed the seas for countless years, and this was the first time anyone had been able to hurt her. At least, as long as Katakuri and her children could remember, Big Mom had never been injured. The fact that Tsugikuni Yoriichi had actually been able to inflict a scar on her was something many people couldn't imagine.
"It really is a monster!"
Cracker looked at his furious mother, then turned his head to look at Tsuguki Yuichi who was in mid-air, and couldn't help but murmur. Cracker felt that people like Tsuguki Yuichi were scary, but at the same time, what Cracker was thinking in his mind was also what Tsuguki Yuichi was thinking in his mind at that moment.
But the object is not herself, but Big Mom below.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi was confident in his own strength. The attack he had just made could easily severely injure pirates of the caliber of Katakuri and Cracker. With just one strike, he could have rendered these vice-captains unable to stand.
However, even an attack of this magnitude could only leave a shallow wound on BIG MOM's body.
This kind of defensive power was really beyond Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expectations.
After all, he underestimated the future king of the sea at his peak. Compared with a woman like BIG MOM who has roamed the sea for many years, Kaido, whom he defeated in his early years, was just a young man who had not fully grown up.
Kaido, who is on equal footing with Oden, can at most be killed in one blow by Roger.
Akainu and Kizaru, future admirals of the navy who were once defeated by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, are still in their rising period. Needless to say, Aokiji is the youngest of the three admirals.
As for the legendary Golden Lion Fleet that nearly destroyed Roger's group in the Battle of Et-Wol, that was simply because the Golden Lion's ability was too great an advantage in a naval battle environment. It does not mean that the Golden Lion's combat power can be compared with that of Roger's group.
The reason why Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was able to cooperate with Kuzan to kill the opponent was that he took advantage of the "state of no self" to kill with his sight.
Otherwise, the golden lion that successfully rose into the air could easily "kite" the dead Kuniyoshi and Kuzan.
Big Mom's defense is so strong that even the combined forces of several people from the future "Evil Era" cannot hurt her.
Until BIG MOM fell onto Onigashima, Luo and his team were unable to cause any substantial damage to BIG MOM, which shows their defensive strength.
Speaking of defense, we have to mention Akainu, who used his kidney to take a punch from the angry Whitebeard "Bakujima".
In terms of physical talent, BIG MOM is far superior to Akainu. Her defense is even more terrifying than Akainu. After all, she can catch the enemy with her bare hands.
The long period of success caused Ji Guoyuan to misjudge the top combat power in this ocean.
He originally thought that the Five Elders and Im hidden in the holy land were the most powerful people in the world, and their strength was even greater than that of the future Four Emperors.
But now it seems that this judgment was somewhat wrong.
"After all, I underestimated the powerful beings on this sea."
"Faced with a monster like you, I actually thought of holding back."
“It’s really ridiculous.”
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi shook his head slightly, and looking at the angry Big Mom on the ground, he couldn't help but laugh at his own previous thoughts.
"Weiguo!!"
In response to Tsugakuni Yoriichi, BIG MOM's terrifying slashing attack.
Big Mom clutched the long sword "Napoleon" with both hands and swung it, unleashing a blue-purple slash at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi in mid-air. The terrifying power made the Charlotte family members present scalp tighten. Although the attack was clearly not directed at them, it made them feel the breath of death.
The slashing attack came, but Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō had no intention of dodging. His figure fell rapidly and rushed towards BIG MOM, while the long sword in his hand quickly slashed the flying attack.
Silently.
The slashing attack on Yoriichi Tsugakuin only slowed him down slightly, and then he was suddenly cut into two pieces by Yoriichi Tsugakuin and flew towards the dome above.
"boom!!!!"
The two blows fell on the dome of the treasury one after another, and the stone roof was immediately cut open. The entire hemispherical roof structure was destroyed. As large pieces of rubble fell from above, the roof of the entire treasury also disintegrated and collapsed.
Tsugikoku Yuichiro didn't care about what was happening on the roof at all. He now inexplicably felt a strong desire to fight. Facing a strong enemy like BIG MOM, he also wanted to let go and fight the opponent.
"boom!!!"
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's figure fell quickly, and the long sword in his hand collided with BIG MOM's Napoleon again. The two figures separated rapidly at the moment of intersection. Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's figure flew back several meters, and BIG MOM staggered after a fight with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, and took two steps back before stabilizing her body.
Feeling the terrifying power coming from her arm, BIG MOM's eyes showed deep excitement. She laughed shrilly, tightened the long sword in her hand, and quickly rushed towards Ji Guoyuan.
At this time, Yuichiro Tsugikuni also turned into a stream of light and rushed towards BIG MOM.
“Wow—”
The roof of the treasury collapsed, and rubble and soil fell from the sky. For a moment, the treasury was filled with smoke and dust.
"Quick, get out of here!"
"Don't get dragged into this fight!"
Katakuri reacted quickly. Before Big Mom's severed "Weiguo" hit the dome, he realized what was going to happen. While using his ability to protect his weaker brothers and sisters, he shouted loudly.
In the smoke and dust in the distance, BIG MOM, holding a big knife, turned into a huge black shadow under the cover of the smoke and dust, and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also turned into a slightly dim golden figure.
The two figures sometimes converged, sometimes separated, and the treasury echoed with the sound of swords clashing. Under the terrifying Domineering Haki, Katakuri saw that several of his brothers and sisters had already fainted, unable to withstand the emanating Domineering Haki.
The number of people who can intervene in this battle is very limited.
"boom!!!!!"
At this moment, a loud bang sounded in the treasure house. In Katakuri's sight, the golden figure in the smoke suddenly appeared in front of BIG MOM, and slashed at BIG MOM's lower abdomen directly from bottom to top.
Although Big Mom drew her sword in time to block, the terrifying force still sent her flying.
The black shadow quickly rose and disappeared above the vault. The golden figure in the smoke didn't seem to want to stop, and followed the knocked-away Big Mom into the vault.
Ji Guoyuan knocked BIG MOM away one by one, then jumped up and chased after BIG MOM. His previous attack was blocked. The opponent's physical ability was quite good. Although his sword speed could not catch up with him, his strength and defense were very terrifying.
It's hard to imagine that BIG MOM, who has been giving birth to children and rarely fights in recent years, still maintains this level of fighting power.
If Tsugikuni Yoshiichi wants to defeat his opponent, he will probably have to work hard.
"Quick, get out of here!"
When Katakuri saw Tsugakuni Enishi blast BIG MOM away and then get up to chase her, a hint of anxiety appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but urge her.
"Katakuri, go help MAMA, leave this to us!"
At this moment, Big Mom's eldest son, Perospero, hurriedly shouted. He was the user of the Parahuman Licking Fruit, able to freely create candies and syrups. Even if the treasury collapsed, he could still protect his brothers and sisters.
What's more, with the presence of capable brothers and sisters like Cracker, they can still do a good job of taking care of younger brothers and sisters.
Katakuri didn't hesitate. He quickly stretched out his arms, grabbed the roof, and then flew away.
The moonlight spread across the lawn inside the cake tower.
A huge black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, crashed into the ground, and was instantly buried by dirt and dust.
Shortly after the giant shadow crashed to the ground, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's figure, wrapped in golden flames, also rapidly descended.
He held the knife in both hands and swiftly stabbed it towards the chest of the figure that had crashed into the ground.
The smoke and dust were dispersed by the strong wind caused by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack. In the hole on the ground, BIG MOM quickly turned over and stood up, holding the long sword in her hand directly above her head.
The tip of Dawn's blade pierced Napoleon's blade, and the terrifying domineering aura of the two collided in an instant, forming a shock wave that shot towards the surrounding buildings. The magnificent cake tower collapsed under this terrifying shock wave.
