The cold and biting feeling of the sword blade spread from his neck to his whole body. Owen swallowed, his body froze in place, and many beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"No one really thinks that having a bounty of more than 300 million beli is very powerful, right?"

Nosha chuckled and spoke. He glanced at the dark clouds. Katakuri still didn't move. "A mere hot pot fruit user really takes himself seriously..."

Hot pot fruit?

Owen's face suddenly turned red as his throat was being strangled, and he felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart. He had always been proud of his ability to use Hot Fruit, so why did he become so unbearable in the other person's mouth?

but……

Think about how he was easily killed by the opponent in just three or two rounds.

Owen's face became depressed again. This guy is really qualified to say that today's battle really hit him too hard...

"That's enough."

At this moment, there was finally movement from the dark clouds above.

Katakuri fell from the clouds, stepped on the top of the waves, and looked directly at Nosha with cold eyes:

"Owen does act a little recklessly, but your strength really starts to surprise me, so that's good..."

"Come on, Nuo Xia! Use all your strength and have a hearty battle between men with me!"

He suddenly tightened his grip on the trident, and without being angry, he shouted sternly, "Everyone, please don't interfere for now! I want to see if the man my mother wants to get at all costs is worthy of her."

Qualifications!”

Gulu!

In an instant, the surrounding sea surface, which had returned to calm, suddenly turned into several huge black glutinous balls, which stood tall and roared towards the surrounded Nuo Xia!

"Unparalleled · Weird Rice Cake!"

boom!

The glutinous ball wrapped in a rich and domineering aura slapped heavily on the sea surface, and Nuo Xia, who was originally at that position, had already let go of Owen, and in a flash, he took moon steps to a position hundreds of meters high.

"It turns out that at this point in time, the fruit ability has been awakened..."

Looking at the sea surface below that was splashed with silver by the strange force of glutinous balls, Nuo Xia perked up and looked obviously much more excited than before. He grinned:

"This is so powerful. He is indeed the strongest general of the Charlotte family."

Since the battle with Du Galileo in the West Sea, he has never stopped practicing hard.

However, it is a pity that in the following few months, I did not encounter any decent opponents. Until now, I am already feeling a little itchy.

Until today, after taking Irving as a warm-up exercise and getting rid of it, can I finally let go and have a good battle?

at the same time.

Katakuri, who missed the attack, had no look of surprise on his face. He didn't even look at the sea. He raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Nosha, who was hundreds of meters away.

"Sure enough, it is the same as the news in the intelligence. Relying on the advantage of speed, the Drought Galileo was beaten to death..."

Katakuri muttered with narrowed eyes.

but.

If that's the case, let alone winning, there won't even be the desire to go all out.

After all, at nearly thirty years old, he already has the best knowledge and color, but he is a man who can predict the future in battle.

in other words.

Even if his opponent has a huge advantage in speed, he still has nothing to hide from him!

————————

At the same time, on the warship hundreds of meters away.

As early as the moment when Nosha left the deck and started fighting with Owen, a colonel who held the position of captain, seeing that the situation was not good, had already retreated to the communication room and dialed the number of the G1 branch.

"What?"

In the highest-level commander's office, Akainu listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone. His usually calm expression showed a rare hint of shock and anger:

"You mean, on the way back escorting the delegation, the bgimom pirate group suddenly dispatched half of its cadres and surrounded you?"

"Yes, Mr. Sakaski!"

The colonel's voice was urgent and panicked, "It's directed at Major General Nosha. The Major General has already started fighting with Katakuri. I don't know how long it will last... Anyway, please be sure to send troops to support as soon as possible!"

"

"rest assured."

Akainu said in a low voice, "They are just a group of pirates. Do they really regard the New World as their own base?"

"You actually dare to attack Nuo Xia, in this case."

He hung up the phone gently, stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and looked at the far horizon with a cold and murderous look in his eyes, "Then it's up to me to take this trip myself...

"

——————

On the other side, the sea.

Boom!

Using the Trident Earth Dragon to push back Nosha's oncoming sword, Katakuri was also shocked and took several steps back, leaving a series of ripples on the sea surface.

"call……"

He panted for a while, then quickly adjusted his breathing rhythm, stood up again and looked at Nuo Xia opposite, his eyes serious and his tone serious:

"It seems that I underestimated you. It turns out that you are not only extraordinary in speed, swordsmanship, strength, and physical skills. Or, in other words, you have become much stronger than when you defeated Du Galileo..."

"Is this a compliment?"

Nuo Xia, who was opposite, was still breathing steadily, raised his head and grinned, and accepted the praise calmly, "Look, just based on these words, in my eyes, you are much more pleasing to the eye than that bastard next to you.

…”

Owen, who was brought back to the main body of the dark cloud by Zeus, blushed again when he heard this.

Katakuri narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

At this moment, he had been fighting with Nuo Xia for about half an hour. With his strong fruit development ability and his crushing level of knowledge and color advantage, he barely gained the upper hand in the confrontation.

But that's all.

Until now, whether he used the Trident Earth Dragon or the Nuo Nuo Fruit ability, he had not been able to leave any decent injuries on Nuo Xia.

The opponent's physical strength was so strong that it was more like a dark bottomless pit, making it impossible for him to test his limits.

"I can't speak of praise, but frankly speaking, you are indeed very strong. It can even be said that the enemies I have fought before are not as strong as you."

Katakuri clenched the earth dragon in his hand, stood up straight and said: "So next, I will no longer retain my strength. Today's battle will be another battle where I will go all out after a few months.

"

"What a coincidence, so do I."

Nuo Xia smiled, glanced at the warship hundreds of meters away, and suddenly said:

"In order to prevent others from being affected, I suggest moving to a farther place. What do you think?"

“Very reasonable advice.”

Katakuri's eyes flashed, and without much hesitation, he nodded slightly.

After reaching this consensus, the two of them walked through the air at the same time, quickly retreating into the distance, and within a moment they were several kilometers away.

After so much distance, the two ships, which were not far away at first, suddenly became small black dots in the sight.

"Go on."

After a reminder, Nuo Xia tightened his grip on the hilts of Yongen's swords at his waist again, and his eyes gradually became sharper——

In the final analysis.

The fight between the two just now seemed to be a lively one, but in the end it was just a test. The real fierce fight can only really begin from now on!

Whoosh!

In the next moment, his figure suddenly moved.

After leaving an afterimage that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, he suddenly appeared behind Katakuri and slashed towards the opponent's neck with a sword.

when!

There was a dull sound of metal clashing, but Katakuri did not know when he had turned the trident around and placed it in front of his vital point.

At the same time, his left hand turned into a fist and was clenched tightly!

Boom!

The surrounding sea suddenly roared.

Countless glutinous rice balls the size of bullets broke away from the ground like water droplets rising up from the ground on a rainy day, shooting towards Nuoxia from all directions.
