Chapter 1305: Third Rank
The bullet flew towards its target.
Katakuri knocked Doflamingo back with a punch and immediately lunged for the Cracker.
— Come here!" Doflamingo shouted as he wrapped Haki around his leg and hit her right on Katakuri's head.
He was forced to stop and block the kick.
With a bang, the yellow sand along with the bloody minced meat flew in all directions, and the Cracker flew several meters to the side. One of his legs was reduced to a bloody mess.
White bones could be seen through this mess, and this is taking into account the fact that the bullet had to break through Khaki Weapons.
Did Su Xiao miss? Not quite, because Katakuri was still able to deflect the bullet.
Katakuri himself seemed aloof and cold, but that wasn't really the case. He was different from his mother, Charlotte Linlin. Although Katakuri looked cold, he actually cared about his subordinates and relatives.
Cracker was his little brother, a brother who grew up in front of him, so he wouldn't watch him die in front of him. A semi-conscious Cracker wouldn't be able to activate the Weapon's Haki to block the bullet, so Katakuri helped him with that, but he had to take a hit from Doflamingo to do it..
His Surveillance Haki was too scary. Before the bullet left the sniper rifle, he already knew exactly where it would hit.
As the owner of the Mochi type Devil Fruit power, Mochi no Mi Katakuri could almost completely ignore physical attacks, but Doflamingo's attacks were enhanced by his Weapon Haki, which allowed him to deal damage even to the owner of such power.
Katakuri's expression turned ugly. He knew he couldn't beat Doflamingo and still protect Cracker. If this was a normal 1v1 battle, Katakuri was completely confident that he would be able to kill Doflamingo, but right now it was clearly not a 1v1 battle. 1.
— First... deal with him, I will... I can... Hold on, " Cracker said, recovering. The first thing he did was assess the current situation and immediately realized that he had become a burden. Previously, he had underestimated the Quixote family, and for that, he had paid the price.
— … — Katakuri said nothing and looked at Cracker's wounds, which didn't look so hopeless.
The sand beneath Katakuri's feet began to change rapidly and soon turned milky white.
As the owner of the Paramecia type Devil Fruit, he could transform his surroundings into mochi.
Doflamingo began to jump back and soon left the white zone, after which the sand under his feet began to turn white and became filled with white threads..
He also activated his power to its fullest.
The beach with a radius of several hundred meters became half one large rice cake, and the other half was filled with barely noticeable threads.
They both made the battlefield more convenient for themselves.
The cracker lay down on the white sand and was immediately devoured by it.
At the same time, the ball of threads rolled towards Katakuri, and Katakuri waved his hand and the white dough flew out to meet him.
The cracker quietly disappeared into the white dough, and the ball of threads could not break through and a figure flew out of it.
Doflamingo protected his head from the impact and slammed into a huge rock.
*Pip-pip-pip...*
A strange squeak suddenly started coming out of the rice dough.
Katakuri picked it up and squeezed a small bomb out of the dough.
It immediately exploded, but the explosion didn't do any damage to Katakuri. Katakuri himself formed a dough on his palm, from which he made a trident, after which it turned black.
Bending slightly, he threw the trident with all his strength.
*BOOM!*
A three-meter-wide hole appeared in the huge rock on the beach. There was blood in the hole. A fourth rank contractor with the concealment skill was instantly killed by Katakuri's throw.
He came here to seize the chance, but he was too brazen.
But it wasn't just him, at least dozens of rank four contractors were watching the battle. They all initially fought on the battlefield and killed ordinary pirates, but when they saw Doflamingo and Katakuri start fighting, they immediately hid and waited for one side to be at a disadvantage.
Most of these contractors were from the Big Mama Pirates, and only a few were from the Quixote family or were from the Beast Pirates.
If a contractor joined a faction, it didn't mean that they would always help her and fight on her side. Without an appropriate reward, who would even fight for someone? Answer: no one.
Right now, dozens of pairs of eyes were watching the seriously injured Cracker intently. If they got the chance, they would kill him, and even though the main damage was dealt by Su Xiao, they would still be able to get most of the reward for killing him.
Given the possible rewards for killing such a character, even Big Mama Pirate contractors would try their luck. Even if it meant being expelled from the faction, it was still worth it, and they would be able to immediately join the Quixote Family or the Beast Pirates, thus avoiding the fine.
And these contractors were targeting not only Cracker, but also Su Xiao. Given the current situation, if someone could get rid of Su Xiao, they would definitely be able to get a reward from Katakuri. Katakuri himself was far from the last person among the pirates of Big Mama, so a high status and various good rewards were provided to them.
But the situation suddenly turned upside down. Katakuri seemed to be able to solve all the problems on his own, and he was already able to seriously injure Doflamingo, so all the contractors focused their attention on Doflamingo.
On the fourth floor of the villa, Su Xiao stopped paying attention to the situation on the beach. Right now, all he could do was give Doflamingo a moral boost, as he himself was now in trouble.
Turning the scope, he saw several contractors moving towards him, all of them from the Big Mama Pirates.
Killing a contractor from an enemy faction would earn half of their reputation. In other words, if someone kills Su Xiao, they will get over 1,000 reputation points for it.
In the residential area of Dress Rosa, five contractors were moving quickly between houses.
They were from the same group.
After advancing a little, they stopped behind a tall building.
— Don't get shot at. Cracker almost died with just one bullet, " said a skinny man with a chain in his hands. Leaning against the edge of the wall, he looked towards the Royal Plateau. - Did you find out who this sniper is? "What is it?" he asked.
— He is a third-rank contractor, call sign Byakuya. I can't say anything about the characteristics, it's too far away, " the red-haired, long-legged girl replied, looking towards the Royal Plateau.
— Third rank? the skinny man asked in surprise.
— That's right, rank three, " the long-legged girl replied and shrugged.
