Chapter 1309: Mochi
Katakuri and Doflamingo stopped fighting, and Su Xiao stood at the edge of the battlefield.
He wasn't about to step on the white sand yet.
Su Xiao wouldn't rashly get close to Katakuri, at least not right now, he wasn't sure yet if Qing Gang Yin's energy was working against those with the power of the Devil Fruit or not.
Katakuri could turn his body into rice dough, so normal attacks wouldn't do anything to him. The power of Qing Gang Yin's energy was to absorb the energy and deal true damage from the absorbed energy.
Su Xiao seriously doubted that his sword attacks would be able to cut Katakuri dough, and even if he could cut this dough, he didn't know if it would be considered an injury. If not, the Qing Gang Yin energy wouldn't be able to enter Katakuri's body and wouldn't be able to harm him, which essentially wouldn't allow him to defeat him.
The Katakuri Devil Fruit was very difficult to deal with. Although his Devil Fruit was of the "Paramecia" type, it was actually stronger than some "Zoan" type fruits.».
In most cases, Logia type Devil Fruits were the most powerful, followed by Zoan type fruits, and Paramecia type fruits were considered the weakest».
This arrangement was not the ultimate truth. Some Paramecia-type fruits were more valuable than Zoan-type fruits, but in terms of starting characteristics, Zoan-type fruits were mostly stronger than Paramecia-type fruits.».
That's just the upper limit of the strength of the fruit type "Paramecia" was very difficult to reach, and some really strong people in this world had just the same strength of the fruit type "Paramecia", for example, the same Whitebeard, Golden Lion Siki, Burnie World...
At the beginning of their journey, they weren't very strong, but over time, thanks to training, they reached a level where they could easily destroy an entire world.
There was no "strongest Devil fruit" in nature, only "strongest Devil Fruit user" existed».
Although this statement was also not entirely correct, it reflected the whole point.
And the Katakuri Devil Fruit was very strong. Although it was of the 'Paramecia' type, the upper limit of this fruit's power was very difficult to reach, and thanks to the power of this fruit, the user could transform both their surroundings and themselves into mochi.
Thanks to this, Katakuri's body was very elastic, strong and plastic.
The exterminator appeared in Su Xiao's hand and he immediately shot Katakuri twice in the head.
*Poof-poof...*
A red light flashed in Katakuri's eyes and he immediately turned his head, while his body twisted at a strange angle and turned into a mochi.
The bullets missed Katakuri's head. Since the attempt was unsuccessful, Su Xiao removed the Annihilator.
Katakuri predicted and destroyed his plan.
Given his abilities, it wasn't surprising that Doflamingo was beaten up so badly. Katakuri could only be defeated if his opponent was significantly faster than him.
Doflamingo slowly approached Su Xiao and whispered — " Hold him down, I'll deal with the Cracker." This is an opportunity we can't miss.
— Do you want to send a man of science to fight one of Big Mama's generals? " asked Su Xiao and looked at Doflamingo with a smile on his face.
The veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged.
— I don't have any Weapons Hacks, so I can't do anything to him.
— … — Doflamingo was very surprised. He couldn't understand how Su Xiao hadn't mastered the Armament Haki with his current strength.
— If you delay him, I'll deal with the Cracker. Just like before, as soon as Katakuri tries to save Cracker, you can attack him, " Su Xiao said. He didn't want to kill Cracker because of the reward, but because he didn't know if Qing Gang Yin's energy could harm Katakuri.
— All right, " Doflamingo said. Even though he didn't want to fight Katakuri, he wasn't alone now. If they help him in this battle, he definitely won't die on this beach today.
— The cracker is now located...
With a crash the mochi under Katakuri's feet reared up and he immediately charged straight towards the duo.
Su Xiao and Doflamingo immediately jumped away in different directions. Katakuri slowed down for a moment, but ended up rushing towards Su Xiao.
— Stop him!" Doflamingo roared and kicked at mochi.
Katakuri reached Su Xiao in an instant. His right arm turned into dough and bent, then covered in Khaki Armor and rushed towards Su Xiao's chest.
Su Xiao had no intention of dodging. Trying to evade the attack was pointless because Katakuri could predict the future.
A 700 mana barrier appeared in front of Su Xiao.
Due to Qing Gang Yin's energy reaching level 40, Su Xiao could now create a shield for 700 mana points.
The strength of the shield for 600 and 700 mana was different by an order of magnitude.
*BOOM!*
The ground beneath Su Xiao's feet trembled, and large cracks appeared on the barrier in front of him.
A moment later the barrier shattered and fragments of it began to stab into Su Xiao's body.
When he felt a dull pain, he immediately removed his barrier.
Qing Gang Yin's energy enveloped the Dragon's Flash and it slashed at Katakuri with it.
Since Katakuri was a five-meter-tall giant, it was impossible for Su Xiao to cut his neck, but it allowed him to reach his torso without much trouble.
As soon as Su Xiao's sword charged forward, Katakuri's legs turned into mochi and rushed towards Su Xiao's head.
Su Xiao immediately stopped walking and held out his sword horizontally in front of him.
Katakuri spun around and dodged the blade of the sword, then his feet flew towards Su Xiao's shoulder.
Intuition predicted Katakuri's goal and Su Xiao immediately put out his left hand near the shoulder, but instead of stopping the attack, Katakuri abruptly turned around and his fist rushed forward.
Su Xiao didn't even notice that mochi was wrapped around his legs.
Katakuri's hand turned into a mochi and immediately turned black as it bit straight into Su Xiao's lower abdomen.
With a bang, the energy barrier shattered, and Su Xiao himself was sent flying backwards with a bang and slammed into a huge rock.
Katakuri was very strong. No matter how good his opponent was, he could see the future and use this knowledge in battle, and since his body could become rice dough at any time, it gave him access to completely unexpected attacks.
If Su Xiao didn't have his intuition, the first encounter would have created a hole in his head.
Katakuri was able to avoid Su Xiao's counterattack and used mochi to immobilize him, after which he launched a very successful attack.
He knew that Su Xiao would create another barrier, but it was unavoidable, as according to his analysis, this barrier would appear anywhere.
While Su Xiao was trying not to die at Katakuri's hands, Doflamingo was actively looking for a Cracker in mochi.
Did Doflamingo really want to kill Cracker so badly? No, but he was well aware that there wasn't much they could do together..
As soon as Su Xiao was slammed into a rock, Katakuri immediately rushed towards Doflamingo.
After climbing out of the hole, Su Xiao cleared his throat and spat out blood.
Katakuri was too strong.
But with the help of this skirmish, he discovered something very interesting. Even though he had to block some very strong punches to do so, he realized that Katakuri had avoided the Dragon's Flash from start to finish.
