Chapter 352: Slade vs. Katakuri
"Yes! Done!"
Having done all this, Slade slowly descended onto the ice below, then stood there quietly with his arms crossed, his eyes calmly fixed on Katakuri on the pirate ship, a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Katakuri, recovering from his surprise, gave an order to the people behind him, then leaped into the air from the deck, his body swiftly gliding through the air before landing with a thud on the ice, standing proudly opposite Slade.
"Phew! Is it about to begin?"
Meanwhile, on the deck of the Liberty, Bartolomeo, looking slightly nervous, gripped the ship's railing, intently watching the two figures on the battlefield.
"Hey! Enel! Crocodile! You two need to be extra careful in this battle. As fellow Logia-type Devil Fruit users, you might be able to get some inspiration from Katakuri's use of his Devil Fruit abilities!"
Sitting at the bow of the ship, Mu Chong stared intently at the two on the battlefield. After a moment's hesitation, he turned to Enel and Crocodile and said something.
"Huh? Tch!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Crocodile's face flashed with disdain, but his eyes remained fixed on the battlefield.
The reason for his disdain stemmed from his confidence in his own Devil Fruit abilities; the reason for his focus on the battlefield was to understand the difference between Slade and Katakuri, given that one of them was already renowned.
"Okay! Got it, Captain!"
In contrast to Crocodile's disdainful expression, Enel simply nodded in approval.
Since Enel boarded the Liberty and his Rumble-Rumble Fruit power has awakened, Mu Chong's advice has played a significant role in his journey. Therefore, Enel now believes that Mu Chong wouldn't have said these things without reason.
Mu Chong merely smiled slightly at the differing opinions of the two people behind him, then turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
On the ice ahead of the Freedom, Slade and Katakuri stood facing each other, neither making the first move, silently observing the other.
Slade, dressed in a white robe, sported dreadlocks and stood nearly three meters tall. While his muscular physique didn't quite match the explosive muscles of Baku, it still exuded a powerful aura.
On the other side, Katakuri wore a black vest and black leggings, with short red hair and a white scarf with flowers around his neck. He was over five meters tall, and his imposing figure, accentuated by his strong muscles, gave off a powerful and intimidating aura.
call!
A sea breeze swept across, stirring up a chilling aura that rose from the ice. This chill, like a signal to begin a battle, ignited an attack almost simultaneously.
boom!boom!
Click!
As two very similar voices rang out, Slade and Katakuri simultaneously charged forward. The ice surface where they had stood cracked under the immense impact, but fortunately, the ice was thick enough.
boom!
In their first probing attack, neither of them chose to dodge. Their fists, both enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki, collided in mid-air.
boom!
A surge of energy erupted from the two fists as they clashed with immense force.
Swish!
After exchanging tentative punches, the two didn't linger for long, but quickly separated, returning to their previous positions almost identically.
"Hahaha! Not bad strength! In that case, let's have a good fight!"
Slade felt the power from the punch he had just received, and the excitement in his eyes intensified. The power Katakuri had displayed truly placed him among the ranks of the strong.
boom!
Slade's lips curled into a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he thrust his legs forward again, charging towards Katakuri. For Slade, this battle was an all-out attack.
"Hmph! Just the navigator of the Liberty? Then let me see what this ship is all about!"
Katakuri, who also tested the waters with a punch, initially acknowledged Slade's power. However, as one of the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, he undoubtedly possessed the pride of a strong individual deep down.
boom!
Katakuri didn't waste any words. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and at the same time as Slad launched his attack, his body had already charged forward again. For Katakuri, this battle was a test of the Liberty's strength.
The two fighters had a very clear objective: to unleash their full power and force the other to reveal more of their trump cards. Therefore, once they began their true offensive, the entire battlefield descended into a frenzy.
boom!boom!boom……
With a series of dull thuds, the entire ice surface began to tremble violently. Each collision between the two caused the entire battlefield to shake. If Slard hadn't frozen the ice so thickly, it would likely have already shattered.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Rumble!
Amidst the relentless attacks, Slade and Katakuri showed no inclination to speak, completely absorbed in the brutal exchange of blows, reveling in the exhilarating thrill and excitement that came with their power.
Charlotte Katakuri, as one of the veteran Yonko (Four Emperors), possesses undeniable strength, as evidenced by his bounty exceeding one billion.
The sheer maturity of their physical skills, the advanced level of Armament Haki, and the rich combat experience displayed so far already indicate the excitement of this battle.
In contrast, Slade, who had very little actual time at sea, was only lacking in real combat experience in life-or-death situations compared to Katakuri.
Slad also possesses advanced Armament Haki, and even has mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, though he hasn't yet fully mastered it. As for physical combat, there's never a shortage of sparring training on the Freedom! Therefore, in his current exchange with Katakuri, Slad has consistently held his own.
boom!boom!boom……
boom!
Rumble!
On the battlefield, the battle between the two continued. Each clash of their fists, amidst their clashing figures, carried terrifying power. A series of muffled thuds echoed, the ice surface trembled more and more violently, and occasionally, drops of red blood could be seen splattering onto the ice.
Bang! Bang...
Rumble!
"Hiss! This attack is too exaggerated! Both of them are clearly Devil Fruit users, yet they possess such incredible strength and physical skills. Devil Fruits? Are they even useful?"
On the deck of the Liberty, Daz Bones stared in utter shock at the two figures locked in combat, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but mutter to himself...
Meanwhile, Crocodile, standing next to Daz Bones, remained silent, but the changes in his expression revealed that he was deeply lost in thought.
"Captain! Brother Slade! Can we win?"
Bartolomeo moved closer to Mu Chong, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, and asked softly.
"Hehehe! Barto! It's too early to talk about who won or lost. Their battle has only just begun. Right now, it's all about Armament Haki and physical attacks. Neither of them has used any of their skills or abilities yet! Just watch!"
When Mu Chong heard Bartolomeo's question, he didn't turn to look at him. His eyes remained fixed on the battlefield, his expression indifferent, and his tone unwavering.
Mu Chong witnessed the entire battle between the two on the battlefield. In his eyes, although they had been exchanging blows for so long, neither of them had used any special abilities; Katakuri hadn't even used his Observation Haki to foresee the future.
