"Pa, pa pa...!"
Applause suddenly rang out from the direction where Cracker, who had been kicked away by Nicholas, was located in the distance.
Along with the applause, giant figures appeared in the Dust Cloud.
Each time applause sounded, a Biscuit Soldier with a height of over five or six meters would appear out of nowhere beside the tall figure.
These Biscuit Soldiers wore red Cloaks, helmets decorated with vertical rows of bristles, horns with Biscuit decoration bases on both sides of the helmets, the Lettering BIS on their belts, and sets of black and white Biscuit Armor on their bodies.
Their Weapons were Giant Swords that looked similar to Cracker's Sword, one for each person, and Biscuit Shields that looked perfunctory.
Each Biscuit Soldier was like they were printed from the same mold. Judging by appearance alone, they were almost exactly the same as Cracker on the Bounty Poster.
"Pa pa, pa pa...!"
Along with the rhythmic applause, one by one, Biscuit Soldiers materialized in response.
In less than five or six seconds, more than a hundred Biscuit Soldiers appeared in the field.
"That last hit really hurt."
As the voice fell, a Figure with purple hair, three tufts of hair behind his head, sparks on the left and right tufts, and a Scar on his right eye appeared.
His upper body was only wearing a piece of Armor on his right Shoulder and a pink Cloak, his lower body was wearing wide Riding Pants and brown Boots, and a Sword was hanging on his Waist. This was Cracker's True Form.
Cracker's Eyes flashed with cold light as he looked at Nicholas and said, "My Biscuit Soldiers are not Homies, so they won't be affected by your strange Aura!"
Obviously, although the Biscuit Soldiers created by the Biscuit Fruit Ability imitated Charlotte Linlin's Homies to a certain extent, these Biscuit Soldiers had no Soul and were completely Fruit Creations.
It has to be said that some of the Charlotte Family's children are actually quite Talented. To a large extent, their upper limit is limited by their own Fruit, just like Doflamingo, Katakuri, and Cracker. They have played their Fruits to the extreme, or rather, they have Development them to the limit.
However, the Strength of the Fruit is just there. After Development to Awakening, there is no more path.
They can only continue Development in Haki and other Aspects.
Cracker has Development the originally ordinary Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit to be quite powerful. He can rely on his Devil Fruit Ability to create an endless army of powerful Biscuit Soldiers. It can be said that he is truly an army of one!
Nicholas watched expressionlessly as Cracker used his Ability to create Biscuit Soldiers. To a certain extent, this was similar to Doflamingo's Shadow Rider Thread and Nicholas's Lightning Clone.
The only difference was the Strength.
Thanks to Luffy's Battle with Cracker in the original work, Nicholas had a very deep impression of this Ability to create Biscuit Soldiers out of thin air.
He clearly remembered that Luffy at that time had to activate Gear Fourth to cause substantial Damage to these Biscuit Soldiers created by Cracker.
It can be said that these Biscuit Soldiers are completely comparable to Monkey D. Luffy who has Training for two years in terms of Combat Power, possessing considerable Defense and hardness.
From this, it can be seen that, putting aside Attack Power, Biscuit Soldiers already possess the Strength of some New World Pirate Crew Captains based on this Defense alone.
Theoretically speaking, Luffy, who cannot maintain Gear Fourth for a long Time, is absolutely powerless in front of Cracker's Biscuit Army.
In that Battle, Nami assisted from the side by summoning a Timely Rain with her Climate Baton that could soften the hardness of the Biscuit Soldiers, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent victory.
The softened Biscuit Soldiers not only lost their original excellent Defense, but also directly became Luffy's food.
In this way, Cracker stubbornly endured the strange Rain summoned by Nami and created Biscuit Soldiers for almost an entire night.
Then, Luffy never wanted to eat Biscuit again.
One consumed Stamina to create Biscuit Soldiers, and the other frantically ate Biscuit until he was about to vomit. With this ebb and flow, they finally managed to grind Cracker to death.
Moreover, the most Outrageous thing is that Cracker, as one of the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates later, didn't even use Armament Haki in the process of fighting Luffy, which is just outrageous.
Now, Nicholas has come to this World and has experienced countless Battles.
Now, recalling many of the Battles that happened in the original work, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
Was it that these People's IQs would automatically become negative when they encountered the Protagonist, or was Luffy's Protagonist halo too strong?
Nicholas couldn't say for sure, after all, he didn't even know where Luffy was now.
"How many Biscuit Soldiers can your Stamina allow you to create?"
Nicholas spoke and instructed, while rolling up his Arm, a Long Sword appeared in his hand at the same time, and he rested the Blade Back of the Long Sword on his Shoulder.
Conqueror's Kingdom!
The Long Sword resting on his Shoulder suddenly slashed forward.
A crystal-white Blade Light flashed and disappeared.
A cylindrical Shockwave emitting dazzling white light arose in response, carrying an invincible momentum, crushing the Soldiers on the Ground, and heading straight for Cracker, who was surrounded by Biscuit Soldiers.
"It's Mom's Conqueror's Kingdom...!"
Charlotte Angelu exclaimed in surprise.
And Katakuri, not far away, narrowed his Eyes, then suddenly pressed his hands to the Ground. At the Place where Katakuri's Palm contacted the Ground, it quickly wriggled, and then rolled out a wave-like white Fluid.
Mochi City Flow Wall!
The white Mochi instantly rose from the Ground in front of Cracker and quickly formed a huge City Wall fifty meters high and twenty meters thick.
When the City Wall constructed of Mochi rose from the Ground in an instant, the Armament Color that followed in time dyed the entire City Wall into a shiny black Color.
Katakuri controlled the Mochi City Flow Wall covered with solid Armament Haki, placing it horizontally In front of everyone, attempting to resist the Conqueror's Kingdom unleashed by Nicholas.
Boom!
The cylindrical Shockwave, like a comet, slammed heavily into the Mochi City Flow Wall.
Crack, crack--!
The Armament Haki spread on the Mochi City Flow Wall instantly made a cracking sound under the powerful Shockwave of the Conqueror's Kingdom.
Whoosh--!
"Lick lick~Candy Wall!"
The violent Air Wave swept around, blowing away the many Homie Shells that had lost their Souls on the Ground.
A second or two later.
The Gunsmoke dissipated, revealing the devastated Mochi Wall and the Candy Residue scattered around.
"He really is a Terror..."
Perospero said with a pale Complexion.
Candy Liquid mixed with Steel Slag after solidification is most afraid of extremely high-temperature Attacks.
But as long as it doesn't touch this type of Existence, the Defense of solidified Candy can easily block even the Attack of the Giant Race.
But in front of Nicholas's Attack, it's really as brittle as Candy.
But no matter what...
Nicholas's Attack was finally blocked.
However, the Charlotte Family members, looking back at the miserable Manner of the Defense jointly constructed by Katakuri and Perospero, looked very ugly.
Undoubtedly, this is the same Move as Mom's Might Kingdom, so it also means it has similar Power!
"If we were hit head-on..."
The Charlotte Family members were still scared.
Nicholas slowly sheathed his Long Sword.
"Ara ara, that's really not bad. But..."
As he spoke, Nicholas looked up at the Sky covered with Dark Clouds and showed a smile.
"Many of you guys' Devil Fruit Abilities are restrained by Rainwater, right?"
Drip, drip.
As Rainwater dripped on his Face, Nicholas's smile looked like a Demon in the Eyes of the Charlotte Family and others.

Chapter 307 Fake News
World Economy News Company.
News Company Staff members were all looking shocked and bewildered at this moment.
The cause of their reaction was the newly arrived news spread across the office desks, along with a dozen or so attached photos.
"Is this kind of thing really possible? Am I dreaming?"
A reporter looked at one of the photos of Bullet holding a delicate treasure chest and muttered to himself in disbelief.
Standing next to him was another Colleague who was also looking at the Intelligence.
"Slap!"
Without a word, this Colleague raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
The slapped reporter immediately gasped again.
"Hey, hey! Is that the point? It's this! Roger's Bloodline! This is Big News that could shake the World!"
Seeing the reporter's reaction, the Colleague who slapped him picked up a photo and shouted loudly at him.
"Fart, who knows if that News is true or false? Roger has been gone for so long. If his Bloodline was captured, wouldn't he show up? Compared to that, the News about the Charlotte Family starting a war with Nicholas is real News."
Totto Land already has several Islands destroyed, and the two sides are currently in fierce battle on Cake Island. Most importantly, there are pictures and proof!"
These faxed Data and photos spread across the office desks are all headline-worthy.
"This headline event... we need to publish it quickly!!! I can already imagine the reaction of the Whole world!!!"
"Where is President Morgans?"
"I don't know, I was too busy looking at the photos."
Just as everyone was discussing, the Office door of Morgans was pushed open forcefully.
Morgans walked out, and under everyone's gaze, quickly approached the office desk where Big News event reports were placed.
"This is Big News."
Morgans picked up the photo of Bullet holding a delicate treasure chest in one hand and the photo of Nicholas confronting the Charlotte Family in the other, his expression extremely excited. He then looked around at his Subordinate.
"Same old Rules, double Headline layout. But this time is a bit different. I want tomorrow morning's Newspaper to have Headlines on both the front and back! So, everyone... from this moment on, let's look forward to seeing a World of News, hahaha!"
"Long live President Morgans!!!"
Excited and agitated Sounds, through the door and window gaps of the mobile News Company, spread into the distance, startling a large group of Newspaper Delivery Seagull who were catching up on sleep.
That night.
As the industry leader, the World Economy News Newspaper Company worked through the night, something they hadn't done in a long time.
As per President Morgans's request, tomorrow morning's Newspaper must have a double Headline layout, and the front page must be all Headlines.
This extremely special request was a first in the News Company's history, so there was no room for any carelessness.
The next day.
Copies of Newspaper were carried by Newspaper Delivery Seagull from the World Economy News branches in Various Locations Worldwide and flew to Various Locations Worldwide.
Loguetown, Marine Residence Base.
"Admiral Sengoku, here's today's latest Newspaper."
Along with the orderly's report, the latest Newspaper was delivered In front of Sengoku.
Looking at the content of the Newspaper, Sengoku's brows furrowed.
Unexpectedly, Bullet actually caused this Thing. If the Intelligence is true, then the Buster Call against Douglas Bullet will need to be adjusted to some Degree.
After all, we need to consider the Remnant of the Roger Pirates and those sea scum who are stirred up by the rumors of the Eternal Pose to the Final Island.
"Roger's Bloodline in Bullet's hands?"
Garp, who came to see Sengoku for Breakfast early in the morning, picked up the Newspaper, glanced at it, and became a little dazed.
Aren't Roger's Wife and Son in Windmill Village? Could it be that Roger, that thick-browed and big-eyed Weapon, has an Illegitimate Child outside?
Thinking of the rumors about Whitebeard's Illegitimate Child that once circulated on the Grand Line, Garp just wanted to say that Pirate Life is really chaotic.
"Hmm, this is just a report from the World Economy News Company, it's still uncertain. I've already contacted the Intelligence Department at Marine Headquarters and the World Government, asking them to verify it as soon as possible."
Sengoku nodded, clearly not fully believing the report.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Rayleigh sat on the steps in front of Shakky's Bar, watching a Figure appear in the distance. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his Gaze.
When the Figure approached, he threw the Wine Bottle in his hand directly to the newcomer.
"Jabba, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see. You Weapon are really here to retire?"
Jabba took the Wine Bottle and calmly took a small sip.
Then he returned the Wine Bottle to Rayleigh.
After sitting beside Rayleigh, Jabba took out a Newspaper and said, "What I'm more concerned about is whether Captain's Bloodline has really been found by that Bullet Weapon."
"Sigh, you Weapons. Didn't Captain tell you to live a good and stable Life?"
Rayleigh sighed softly, a little helpless.
Then he continued, "No, that Roger Weapon said he went to have children. Who knows if he actually had any? And with Captain's Personality, if Bullet really dared to attack his Wife and children, he'd probably be dead already."
"Don't forget, Roger just has a Disease, it's not like he can't lift a Sword anymore."
"That's right."
Jabba thought about it, and Rayleigh's words made sense. Based on his understanding of Roger, it really fits Roger's style.
"By the way, how is everyone?"
"Hehe, don't worry. Everyone is doing great, except for those two Weapons, Shanks and Buggy, who are always thinking about going to Sea to find Captain. Everyone there is living very happily."
"Then let's have a good drink later. I hope your Drinking Capacity has improved a bit."
"Don't worry, both my Drinking Capacity and Cooking Skills have improved a lot."
The Two people looked at each other. After a moment.
The Laughter of the Two people spread throughout the nearby Tree Islands.
But seconds later, an extremely domineering Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire Tree Island 13, interrupting the Laughter of the Two people.
Thump thump.
As Conqueror's Haki swept through, the Ordinary People of Tree Island 13 and the surrounding Tree Islands were all stunned by the sudden Conqueror's Haki. Even some Pirates resting nearby couldn't help but fall to the ground.
In just a second or two, within the entire Tree Island 13, only a few People could remain standing.
"Hmm?"
Rayleigh and Jabba looked in one direction in unison.
A Man with a burly and strong figure, Long Hair, wearing earmuffs and a military uniform, with a fanatical smile on his Face, was striding towards Tree Island 13.
Looking at this Man who suddenly appeared, Rayleigh and Jabba both showed solemn expressions on their Faces.
The Man walked towards the Two people, not only not restraining his Conqueror's Haki, but instead unscrupulously using it to constantly impact these two Companions in front of him who had once been on the same Ship.
"Long time no see, Rayleigh, Jabba."
The Man slightly raised his chin, looking at the Two people proudly.
"Long time no see, Bullet!"
As the Sound of Words fell, Haki no less powerful than Bullet's suddenly erupted. Powerful Conqueror's Color, black and red Lightning, constantly flashed across Tree Island 13 as they collided.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 308: Kick Blast
"Albert Nicholas!!! We will avenge Older Brother Opera and the others!!! Prepare yourself!"
Not far from Katakuri, there was a huge and sturdy man, staring at Nicholas with a face full of hatred.
He is Charlotte Opera's biological Younger Brother and also the Charlotte Family's ninth son, Charlotte Gala.
And not long ago, his Older Brother, the fifth son Charlotte Opera, the sixth son Charlotte Conte, the seventh son Charlotte Cadenza, and the eighth son Charlotte Cavalet were all killed by Nicholas.
It can be said that if he didn't have things to do on Cake Island, their group of five Brothers would probably have been wiped out.
Because Nicholas personally killed Opera and the others, as Charlotte Gala, Opera's biological Brother, he can be said to hate Nicholas to the bone.
After all, in the Charlotte Family, Blood Relation is a very important bond. Originally, their five brothers were united, and even among many brothers and Sisters, they had considerable Voice. Now only he is left. It is conceivable that in the days to come, his life in the Charlotte Family will not be easy.
"I will kill you!!! Ahhhhh!!!"
Gala, who is proficient in Body Techniques and Armament Haki, has Killing Intent in his eyes. His legs, which were originally as thick as buckets, suddenly swelled up, and even Veins bulged. Then he was about to step on the ground and rush towards Nicholas.
But just as he was about to spring out.
Two incredibly sticky Mochi Masses suddenly sprang out from under his feet, like tentacles, wrapping around Charlotte Gala's Waist, thereby stopping his momentum.
"Older Brother Katakuri? Why are you stopping me!?"
Suddenly stuck by the Mochi Mass, feeling the amazing Power from the Mochi Mass, Gala couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then looked at Katakuri with a puzzled Face.
He wanted to know why Katakuri stopped him from avenging his Older Brothers.
And in Katakuri's Pupil, there was a faint Red Light floating, staring fixedly at Nicholas standing there, completely ignoring Charlotte Gala's puzzled Gaze.
"One second."
He suddenly said Words that made Charlotte Gala and many brothers and Sisters around him feel puzzled.
One second?
What one second?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard Katakuri explain.
"Just now, if I had let you rush over... that Man would have taken your Life within 'one second'."
"What!?"
Hearing Katakuri's explanation, everyone finally understood the meaning of one second, and Charlotte Gala was even more shocked.
Although he knew that he would not be Nicholas's Opponent, he never thought that he would be killed within one second.
"Older Brother Gala's Power and Body Techniques are even praised by Mama..."
"Gala is so strong, but in front of that Man, he can't even last 'one second'!? What kind of Monster is that?"
"..."
Gala was like a deflated balloon, and the Complexion of the other Charlotte children around him became quite pale.
In other words—
According to what Older Brother Katakuri said, with the Strength of most People present, in front of Nicholas, they can't even withstand a single move!
They haven't even made a move yet, but they have been officially informed of the result.
This Feel...
It made them experience a Despair that cannot be described in Words.
After all, this sense of powerlessness is something they have never experienced before.
As for doubting Katakuri's judgment, no one would have this Thoughts at all.
They know very well that Katakuri's Observation Haki has been Development to the Degree of being able to briefly foresee the Future. Since he said so, then it is absolutely impossible to be wrong...
After Observation Haki is Training to a very high Level, one can glimpse the Future.
Although it is only a brief few seconds...
And Katakuri's Observation Haki is of this Level.
He can see the Development of Things in the next few seconds in an instant.
And just now, he personally "saw" Charlotte Gala use his Special Move that he had been Training for a long time. His whole Person directly turned into a Meatball, and rushed towards Nicholas head-on at an extremely fast Speed.
Facing Charlotte Gala's Attack, Nicholas seemed to have no Reaction at all.
Just standing there quietly, seemingly having no intention of responding to Gala's Attack at all.
Immediately afterwards, when Gala's Attack was about to touch Nicholas, he moved.
That right Foot that turned into Lightning, touched Gala who had turned into a ball.
A Scene that seemed to freeze in an instant—
That Lightning-transformed leg, like a battle axe, directly kicked Gala in mid-air and exploded him.
Even Gala, who was originally thick-set, directly turned into thousands upon thousands of pieces, and fell everywhere with the Rainwater falling from the Sky.
Although this Scene did not actually happen, the cruel and bloody Scene has been deeply imprinted in Katakuri's mind.
It was because he saw Gala's Future that he took action in time to stop Gala's rather reckless Action.
Otherwise...
The Scene of Gala being kicked and exploded would happen according to the Scene he saw.
In front of Nicholas, his Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters have almost no Qualification to even touch him, and can't even last a second.
But it's not that their Strength is too Weak, but that the Enemy is too strong!
Katakuri didn't have time to comfort them, but strode out and walked straight towards Nicholas.
As he walked, the Metal Accessories worn on his body collided, making a rattling sound.
"Nicholas is different from the Enemies you have encountered before. This guy is undoubtedly a Monster-level Opponent, so cheer up. Otherwise, you will really die."
Katakuri slightly turned his Wrist, held the Trident Earth Dragon diagonally by his side, and walked towards Nicholas step by step, and said in a deep voice:
"In this Battle, there is no room for luck. As long as there is a moment of mistake, you will lose your Life!"
"..."
A reminder full of solemn meaning, made everyone, including Eldest Daughter Compote, change their Complexion slightly.
It can be said that since they were born, it is not that they have not encountered tricky Enemies, and even when they were Weakness, they also faced Enemies stronger than themselves.
But with the Family's increasing prosperity and Charlotte Linlin's Strength, they have never faced a Crisis of Life and death again.
Never before have they lost so many Brothers like now.
Moreover, even Katakuri, the most outstanding Work in the Family, the most powerful Strength, and almost perfect, has said so...
This made them feel a huge Pressure more clearly.
Katakuri ignored the Reaction of his brothers and Sisters, and took the lead in facing this Opponent who might be the most powerful he had ever encountered.
In this Battle, even with Charlotte Linlin in charge, he has no confidence of winning.
What he can do is to try his best to share the Pressure brought by Nicholas in the Battle, and give those Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters a chance of survival.
"That guy Katakuri is right. That guy doesn't care about Mama's attitude, and his Strength is as strong as a Monster. Maybe we will really die."
Cracker stopped making Biscuit Soldier's Action, looked up at the Rainwater falling from the Sky, and tightened his Sword in his hand.
Nicholas is right, Rainwater has a certain restraint effect on the Fruit of many of them.
Moreover, changing the weather in the Charlotte Family can currently only be done by Mama alone.
But now it is obvious that Mama cannot spend too much Stamina to change the weather.
Perhaps in Mama's opinion, even if most of the children present die, as long as Nicholas can be killed, it is within her acceptable range.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 309 Charlotte Opens the Group Fight
Katakuri naturally wouldn't go to face Nicholas alone, thereby letting the Charlotte Family members stay completely out of it.
After all, even if he really wanted to keep his Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters out of the Battlefield, their Strength wouldn't allow it.
"Nicholas, I thought you would intervene to stop the 'situation' just now, after all, you see further than I do."
Katakuri stood with one foot on the edge of the Distance range most suitable for launching attacks and counterattacks, looking at Nicholas with a calm and composed expression, and said.
And in his Eyes looking towards Nicholas, there was always a flicker of Red Light, fully activating his Observation Haki, maintaining the Ability to glimpse a moment into the Future.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Katakuri's Complexion darkened, as if he had glimpsed some Future from countless fragments.
He suddenly raised his left Arm, activated his Ability, and preemptively launched an Attack.
It could be seen that his empty left Arm wriggled like Mochi, raising his Index Finger and thumb while retracting the other Fingers, turning his hand into a Mochi Mass, and simultaneously firing a Mochi Mass combined with Armament Haki from his Index Finger.
Mochi Blade Bullet!
As the left Arm, transformed into a Mochi Mass by the Ability activation, suddenly aimed at Nicholas, then one after another Mochi Pellet Bullets wrapped in Armament Haki, sprayed out from the fingertip of his Index Finger, forming a Barrage attacking Nicholas.
Facing the range Attack that could be called dense.
Nicholas raised an eyebrow slightly, abandoning the Thought of directly using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Speed combined with his Body Technique to instantly eliminate those Weakness Weapon of the Charlotte Family, and instead quickly brought his hands together, then suddenly pulled them apart.
Chi!
Instantly, a Lightning barrier appeared in front of Nicholas, and then Diamond Shuttle made of Lightning took shape, swiftly rushing towards the Mochi Pellet Bullets coming from the front.
Accompanied by continuous sounds of collision, Mochi Pellet Bullets and Diamond Shuttle collided in mid-air.
At the instant of their respective disintegration, countless Sparks suddenly flashed out.
For a time, this Firepower that seemed evenly matched, actually intertwined in mid-air to create a dazzling and dangerous area.
But the Mochi Pellet Bullets fired by Katakuri did not last for too long.
Because, while Nicholas was shooting, Observation Haki was also activated, and that Observation Haki, stronger than Katakuri's, allowed Diamond Shuttle made of Lightning, while shattering the Mochi Pellet Bullets, to let some of the Attack pass through the Barrage, directly attacking Katakuri.
Katakuri did not, or rather, had no time to even glance at those Attacks, just letting those Diamond Shuttle strike his Body, creating Wound after Wound filled with Mochi.
And just as these Attacks passed through Katakuri's Body, Nicholas also vanished into thin air.
Without the Attacks fired by Nicholas, the Mochi Blade Bullet sprayed from Katakuri's left Index Finger immediately landed in empty space.
At the same time.
Nicholas, who had disappeared from his original position, appeared behind Katakuri in the flicker of a Diamond Shuttle piercing through Katakuri.
The instant his figure appeared, Nicholas swung the Long Sword wrapped in Armament Haki, directly slashing towards Katakuri's Neck.
Katakuri's Trident, held in his backhand, was one step faster, Thrusting out directly from under Katakuri's armpit with an unreasonable counter-attack Trajectory, and then, with undiminished momentum, Thrust towards Nicholas's Chest.
This is Observation Haki that foresees the Future!
Whether it's Attack or defense and counterattack, it's all about seizing the initiative.
Katakuri's adoption of this form of defense and counterattack in close-quarters offense and defense that is fast to the extreme is simply a divine skill.
But Nicholas's Observation Haki is even stronger.
Facing the Earth Dragon Thrusting towards him, the Long Sword in his hand still unhesitatingly slashed towards Katakuri's Neck, clearly intending to trade Injury for Life.
After all, Logia Type are never afraid of this kind of fighting style of trading Injury for Life.
Moreover, for Nicholas, whether or not he can be injured is another matter.
When Nicholas's Long Sword swung towards himself without stopping, Katakuri sensed it in advance, and his brow furrowed slightly.
This was the first time he had experienced the troublesome aspect of Observation Haki that can foresee the Future.
In the past, it was always him who put others in a passive position, but now he himself had fallen into passivity, and the Earth Dragon's Attack had already been launched, so obviously changing the Attack was very unrealistic.
But according to the following development, he might very likely die, while Nicholas, relying on the Advantage of his own Fruit, might not even suffer Injury.
This was unacceptable to Katakuri, and at the same time, Katakuri also realized the troublesome aspect of top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit User.
Just at this moment, the Long Sword that was originally intended to slash towards Katakuri's Vital point, was forced to passively change its momentum in haste, lying horizontally beside him to block a sudden Attack.
Clang!
Famous Sword Pretzel and an Arrow made of solidified Syrup covered in Armament Haki, Thrust onto the Sword Body with immense force.
Sparks flashed intensely.
Nicholas, who was suspended in the Sky without a point of leverage, was immediately pushed away by the force.
And almost at the same time, Katakuri suddenly squatted down, pressing his left hand on the Ground.
The Mochi-Mochi Fruit Ability that had already Awakening, instantly turned a large area of the Ground into Mochi that kept wriggling.
Falling Rain Mochi!
Under Katakuri's mental control, the Ground, which had been assimilated by the Ability into a huge Mochi Mass, instantly had nearly a hundred thick Mochi strips rise from Underground and rapidly covered in Armament Haki, quickly attacking Nicholas who was in a state of being suspended in the Sky.
Not far away, the People of the Charlotte Family, with various expressions, watched the brief exchange that happened in the Lightning Flash.
In these short few breaths, they were actually unable to intervene.
But—this moment actually let them see that the Terror Man was not invincible.
"Well done! No need to be moral with this Weapon, you should just go up together."
"What's with that, Older Brother Katakuri exaggerated, isn't this suppressing that Weapon?"
"No one can easily break free from Older Brother Katakuri's Falling Rain Mochi! He's definitely stuck now!"
"Shut up, everyone, prepare to attack, only after we've dealt with the opponent, will you have the Qualification to Taunt..."
At this time, many Members within the Charlotte Family cast admiring Gaze towards Katakuri.
This is the Charlotte Family's greatest Masterpiece!
He is a perfect Man who inherited Mama's Bloodline and has incredibly powerful Strength!
And at this moment.
Nicholas calmly watched the thick Mochi strips attacking from all directions, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "This is really a good Attack, as expected, Observation Haki that can foresee the Future, can be said to be invincible in one-on-one Battle, but in the process of melee, although the effect is equally outstanding, the Energy consumed is obviously greater than targeting a single person.
However, wanting to take me down with this kind of Attack, isn't it being too Naive?"
Before his Words finished, Electric Arc flickered around Nicholas, and in an instant, Lightning Light blazed, and then, in the terrified Gaze of the Charlotte Family, a hundred-meter-tall Thunder God appeared, and those thick Mochi strips were simply dwarfed in front of the hundred-meter-tall Thunder God.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 310 Charlotte Linlin takes action
Almost at the instant the massive Thunder God appeared, a gigantic Thunder Spear converged in the Thunder God's hand. As the Thunder Spear took shape, the massive Thunder God adopted a throwing posture, and simultaneously, numerous smaller Thunder Spears appeared around the Thunder Spear.
Not far away.
Seeing Katakuri about to face the Thunder God's storm-like offensive, the Charlotte Family members, led by Eldest Daughter Comport, would naturally not stand idly by.
"Quickly help Katakuri out of this!"
Monde clenched her fists, and with a whoosh, released Armament Haki, firmly covering both fists.
Judging from the solidification of the Armament Haki, its level was not weak.
After all, as the Eldest Daughter of the Charlotte Family, and also one of the few main Combat Power within the Family, and being called the child most like Charlotte Linlin, being proficient in Armament Haki was a matter of course.
"Everyone, attack!"
Comport, who had also covered her Long Sword with Armament Haki, stomped her foot hard on the Ground.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, a shallow pit suddenly appeared where Monde's foot landed.
At the same time, Monde, who looked quite bulky, burst out with Speed that belied her Body, transforming into an afterimage and closing in on Nicholas.
Following Comport and Monde's actions, the others responded one after another, closely following Monde and attacking Nicholas.
They planned to join forces to block Nicholas's next Attack.
As soon as they made their move, Nicholas immediately noticed, but he ignored them, focusing his attention on Charlotte Linlin.
It wasn't that Nicholas didn't take them seriously, but compared to these minor troubles, Charlotte Linlin was his most important Opponent.
Although these guys' attacks would cause some trouble, they were insignificant compared to Charlotte Linlin's Threat.
Monde watched the approaching behemoth, her Eyes suddenly narrowed.
Then, without a second thought, she instantly made her Move, which could be described as extremely decisive.
White Snake·Speed!
The Long Sword in her hand pierced through the Air, immediately stirring up a white torrent, like a White Snake, heading straight for the Thunder God's Head.
"Dealing with Logia Type with this is useless."
Nicholas easily saw through Monde's Move, without even dodging, allowing the white serpent winding through the Sky to directly stab at his Face.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Head was scattered, but before Monde could rejoice, she saw the Thunder God's Head restored to its original state under the condensation of Lightning.
"Completely ineffective...!!!"
The Attack had no effect whatsoever, causing Monde's Complexion to change drastically.
Perospero, watching the panic-stricken Monde, said with a gloomy gaze, "It's not that it's ineffective, at least it consumed his Stamina..."
Almost all Ability User on the Grand Line knew that activating Abilities consumed Stamina.
And although Monde's Strike just now seemed to have achieved nothing, there was no doubt that it had consumed Nicholas's Stamina, just no one knew how much.
"Then it's my turn!"
Bang!
As the Words fell, the Thunder Spear in the Thunder God's hand was suddenly thrown out, and at the same time, the countless small Thunder Spears scattered around the Long Spear also flew towards Charlotte and the others like a volley of arrows.
The Long Spear, carrying formidable Power, tore through the Air, and a ring-shaped Air Wave vibrated and spread out in response. The gigantic Thunder Spear shot out at an incredible Speed!
The Charlotte Family members who had followed closely behind Comport and Monde stared blankly at the rain of Spears whistling overhead, their mouths agape.
"Everyone, don't hold back!"
"Right, don't hold back! Block it!"
After all, they were members of a Pirate Crew based in the New World and dominating one region, and they quickly understood the current situation.
"Slow Waltz!"
"Might Kingdom!"
"Demon Man Slash!"
"Shining Impact!"
"Candy..."
Various dazzling attacks, like a tide, struck towards the Sky.
Rumble!
Countless thick bolts of Thunder exploded in the center of the Battlefield, turning the surrounding Ground into Scorched Earth, and continuously, fragments of gravel and sand flew out, turning into Dust and falling.
"Nicholas, you Kid!"
In a sharp roar like that of an Evil Ghost, Charlotte Linlin finally couldn't hold back and made her Move.
Stepping on the giant Zeus Thundercloud, and wielding the Great Blade Napoleon in her hand, she directly slashed at the giant Thunder God. The giant Thunder God used his Right Hand to firmly grasp the Great Blade Napoleon, and at the same time, freed his Left Hand, and violently threw a Fist at Charlotte Linlin.
Dong!
Charlotte Linlin neither dodged nor avoided, and also used her Fist to forcefully receive the Thunder God's Fist.
The enormous Fist Wind generated by the clash between the two directly swept across the entire Battlefield, causing many Charlotte Family members to subconsciously raise their hands to shield themselves.
"Finally couldn't hold back, huh?"
Nicholas dispelled the giant Thunder God transformation, revealing his Form. He exerted force with his Right Hand, suddenly pressing the Long Sword in his hand down towards the Great Blade Napoleon. A cold smile appeared on his Face as he stared at the face like an Evil Ghost, which was close at hand.
"Arrogant!"
Charlotte Linlin roared, suddenly pouring all her Power into Napoleon, instantly sending Nicholas flying backwards.
"Nicholas, this time I will personally kill you!"
Buzz!
At the instant the Words fell, the Soul Power within her Body frantically poured into the Great Blade Napoleon in her hand. The Iris in the eyes of the Homie Napoleon suddenly appeared, and the Sword Blade of the entire Sword emitted a dazzling and radiant red glow.
"Emperor Sword·Breaking Blade!"
Accompanied by Charlotte Linlin's deafening Roar, endless Flames suddenly erupted on the Great Blade Napoleon. A suffocatingly scorching high temperature, along with the Sword Blade's downward slash, licked towards Nicholas.
Nicholas was not affected in the slightest by this high temperature that was enough to distort the Air. His Gaze was cold and stern as he looked at Charlotte Linlin.
"Sword, is not used like this! Although it is said that a heavy Sword has no edge, and great skill is clumsy. But you only have Power without skill."
Chih!
As the low voice sounded, Nicholas swung the Long Sword in his hand from left to right, stirring up a terrifying Air Wave.
Iai·World Severance!
As the Sword was swung, a ray of light instantly illuminated the entire Battlefield. Then, the originally menacing wave of Flames instantly extinguished.
And the Flames on the surface of Napoleon's Sword Blade, which Big Mom had slashed down, rapidly receded.
"Mama!"
Napoleon let out a painful scream, and then was directly split in two from the middle.
However.
When the Battle had progressed to this degree, Charlotte Linlin naturally had no time to be distracted. She once again forcibly poured in a large amount of Soul Power, and roughly repaired Napoleon in an instant, and once again slashed fiercely with her Sword.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing resounded, and two incomparably powerful forces collided and crushed each other, and after a few seconds of stalemate, they completely Burst, sending both of them flying backwards at the same Time.
"Truly terrifying Power, Kid..."
Charlotte Linlin sensed the Power transmitted, and couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression.
Although Nicholas's Power was still a little weaker than her own, this little Gap in Power, between Strongest at their level, was enough to determine the Outcome.
But almost everyone in the World knew that Nicholas's greatest Advantage was the Burst and Speed brought by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as well as that terrifying Thunder. Power had always been a relatively weak aspect.
Then, comprehensively speaking, that little Gap in Power could be completely smoothed out by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
This situation could not help but make her feel vigilant, and re-examine this former Companion in front of her.
"Seems you're not stupid after all."
Nicholas smiled slightly, and slowly clenched the Sword hilt again with his Right Hand. "Rage in this kind of battle between equals, not only cannot change the result, but may also accelerate the Speed of defeat."
While speaking.
Lightning surged around Nicholas's Whole Body, and then at this moment, frantically gathered towards the Long Sword, and in the next moment, suddenly slashed out, forming a magnificent Sword Aura that was entwined with Lightning, like a White Dragon.
One-Sword Style·Dragon's Roar!
The White Dragon raged and rampaged, biting Charlotte Linlin, who was caught off guard, in its mouth, and all the way, it split the Ground into a huge gully that was dozens of meters deep, and devoured everything along the way.
Boom!
The huge Explosions resounded throughout Cake Island for a Time. Countless huge Cracks, like spider webs, rapidly spread across the entire Island.
When the Dust Cloud dissipated, Big Mom's Form, holding Napoleon, knelt on one knee in the pit, her Whole Body covered in wounds. Blood was gurgling out from the Injury on her Skin, which was known as the Iron Balloon, dyeing the Scorched Earth beneath her into a Blood red color.
Such an astonishing commotion naturally attracted the attention on the Battlefield. When the Gunsmoke dissipated, and they saw the Disheveled Big Mom kneeling on the Ground.
Everyone was in disbelief.
