Chapter 188: Overlord Haki, Fruit Awakening!

"It's useless!"

Rod put down the doll in his hand.

I don't know if his domineering is not strong enough, or if his guess is wrong, the ability of this "doll princess" cannot be removed by domineering.

Under the impact of Rod's domineering, the doll is still the same, without any change.

"Hmph! My ability can't be removed so easily!"

Liluka looked at Rod.

"I told you, let me go, I will fight that monster with you!

That ugly guy doesn't take me seriously at all, and he completely destroyed my castle. I must turn him into a doll and ravage him!"

Rod glanced at the battle over there.

He just took away Pukki's flour. The Big Mom Pirates really couldn't understand why they sent the head of the three dessert generals to chase him because of such a small matter.

However, with Neru's strength, he should be able to hold on for a while.

Fighting with such a strong enemy is also a rare experience for Neru.

As for this one.

Rhode looked at the pink-haired girl who was slumped on the ground because of the seastone handcuffs, and his green pupils were full of coldness.

Swish——

The sword on his waist was unsheathed instantly, and the cold blade was pressed against Liluka's neck, and the sharp blade seemed to cut her neck off in the next second.

"You, still insist on not removing the ability?"

Looking at Rhode's indifferent expression and sharp eyes, Liluka's heart trembled slightly.

The other party seemed to really want to kill her!

Does he not care about the life and death of his companions at all?

How could he be sure that if he was killed, the ability of the fruit would be removed.

Yes, that's right, he definitely didn't dare to gamble!

Liluka encouraged herself in her heart and looked at Rhode with all her strength.

"If you just let me go, I will naturally restore all your companions to their original state."

"Is that so? What a pity!"

Rod's eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying aura emanated from him. Under his powerful restraint, the aura condensed into one, and accurately bombarded Liluka's body.

"This is...!!"

Liluka only saw Rod's eyes glare, and then a terrifying aura suddenly pressed down, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. Under the pressure of that powerful aura, her mind went blank, and her body swayed and fell backwards.

"Hegemonic Haki!"

Before her consciousness dissipated, Liluka's mind was full of doubts.

She had also seen Hegemonic Haki, but with her strength, ordinary Hegemonic Haki could not shake her will at all, let alone make her faint.

And why did the others have no reaction at all?

"Eh? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Gray looked at Liluka who suddenly fainted in confusion.

"As expected of you, Rod! You actually frightened the other person to death." Rod ignored Gray and paid close attention to the dolls in front of him. After the ability user loses consciousness, the originally applied ability may be invalidated. The "Childlike Fruit" ability user of the Don Quixote family is like this. Her fruit ability can turn others into toys and erase the memory of the person who has become a toy from everyone's mind. However, as long as the ability user loses consciousness and falls into a coma, the toys that were originally turned into toys by her ability will return to their original state. However, there are also cases where the original ability will continue to exist even if the ability user dies. It is better that the ability of this "Doll Fruit" is not like that, otherwise it will be troublesome later. In Rod's slightly nervous eyes, a few dolls glowed pink, and then the light gradually dimmed, and the dolls were still lying there. "Trouble." Rod frowned slightly. It's the worst case. Boom! ! ! The terrifying thunder erupted again. With the cover of thunder and lightning, Neru flashed and avoided Katakuri's attack, while releasing thunder and lightning to attack Katakuri.

His strength was still insufficient. If he hadn't eaten the [Thunder Fruit], he would have been defeated the first time he faced Katakuri.

However, even so, he was struggling now. He could only rely on his elemental ability and his own powerful observation Haki to entangle with the opponent, and he couldn't fight head-on.

"That must be [Baquan] Rod."

Coping with Neru's attack easily, Katakuri noticed Rod's presence, and the rice cakes emerging from his body increased instantly. Several long legs made of rice cakes kicked towards Rod fiercely. Under the entanglement of Haki, each long leg reflected the luster of Haki.

"Yanagi!!"

Bang! !

Rod held the sword in one hand and blocked it in front of him. The long legs created by Katakuri's ability bombarded Rod in front of him, but were easily resisted.

"Kosha, settle them all first, and take this enemy with you."

"Minina, Gray, Brooke, the safety of our companions is in your hands."

"Don't worry!"

Minina patted her chest.

"I will definitely protect my companions before I fall down myself."

"Well, so should we retreat now or..."

Brooke scratched his head.

"Retreat? The enemy should retreat!"

A smile flashed across Rhodes' face, but that smile seemed particularly cold.

How can the unknown [Princess Doll] compare to the famous [Three Dessert Generals]?

"One Sword Style·Dragon Slaying!"

The domineering energy circulated, black lightning flashed around Rhodes, and Qiu Shui's blade was wrapped with a powerful domineering energy. At the same time as Rhodes made a sound, the blade had already fallen in front of Katakuri.

Too fast!

It was so fast that Katakuri had no time to react. Even if he could foresee Rhode's attack, he wouldn't be able to deal with it as calmly as he could with other attacks.

Too strong!

Obviously Rhodes is much smaller than Katakuri, and what Rhodes is holding is only a normal-sized weapon. But when Rhodes attacks, Katakuri's vision seems to be filled with the light of the sword. .

"Hakubo rice cake!"

Katakuri's arm instantly turned into a bar-shaped rice cake, and terrifying domineering energy gathered on it, and he swung it out in response to Rhodes' slashing attack.

boom! ! !

A terrifying air wave erupted instantly, and black lightning flashed around the two bodies.

As strong men standing at the top of this sea, their skills in using domineering energy have become extremely proficient. Every blow can make the time gap between the impact of domineering energy and the physical strike very short, creating a critical hit effect.

That is the kind of power that Rhodes calls [Bad Flash]!

"You are very strong!"

Katakuri took two steps back, his eyes slightly focused, and he looked at Rhodes opposite.

"You're not bad either."

Rhodes secretly estimated Katakuri's power.

As the second fighting force among the Four Emperors, the opponent is already one of the most powerful in the world.

However, I am stronger now!

Whether it's physical strength or domineering power, I should be above the opponent now!

"Rod."

The electric light flashed, and Nailu appeared beside Rhodes.

"I'm sorry to intervene in your fight."

Rhodes stared at Katakuri opposite him and said to Neru without looking back.

"However, I'm in a very unhappy mood right now!"

Thinking of Luo and the others who were still trapped in the doll and unable to get out, a fire burned in Rhode's heart and could not be extinguished no matter what.

[The Doll Princess] has been captured, so there is nothing to fear. As long as someone is in hand, they can always find a way to rescue Luo and the others, and the Katakuri in front of them is a presence that cannot be ignored.

In the eyes of the other party, I am probably just a small character who can be easily defeated.

However, he will soon change his mind!

Feeling the anger in Rhodes' heart, Nailu nodded, not pursuing the outcome of his battle too much.

"Leave it to you, Rod!"

The electric light flashed, and Nailu appeared directly beside Minina and the others.

"Kosa, you take the doll and hide it. Gray, you need to heal Bowness and Weber a little first, and you also need to be on guard against the doll princess."

"What about us?"

Brooke pointed to his head.

"We can just wait for the outcome of the battle with peace of mind."

Nailu looked at Rhodes over there and said softly.

However, it is not certain whether we can wait with peace of mind.

After all, there are other powerful people on this island now.

In Nailu's perception, there are several extremely powerful auras on this island.

…

"So……"

Katakuri's arm squirmed and turned into a ball of rice cake, and then the domineering energy and heat flowed on the fist, and the entire fist exploded instantly like a rocket launcher.

"Baked rice cakes!"

"Don't use this kind of move to embarrass yourself!"

Autumn water was entangled with domineering energy, and Rhodes' power exploded instantly. A terrifying slash split the oncoming scorching iron fist in half. The flying slash continued unabated and slashed hard at Katakuri.

Katakuri's eyes flashed red, and his whole body instantly turned into a flowing glutinous ball. He separated his body on his own, letting the slash pass through his body and fall into the sea behind him, causing a violent wave.

"You are really strong!"

Feeling the waves coming from the sea behind him, Katakuri's eyes flickered slightly.

Unexpectedly, I would encounter such an interesting opponent in the first half of the Grand Route.

"However, since you dare to provoke our Big Mom Pirates, you must bear the corresponding consequences!"

Katakuri's arm instantly expanded into a huge mace-like shape, and his domineering energy instantly wrapped around it. The man turned into a stream of light and swung his huge arm at Rhodes.

"Cut, cut, rice cake!"

呲拉~~

Black lightning burst out in the air. Rhodes inserted Qiushui into the scabbard and blocked Katakuri's attack with his fist.

"I told you, don't use such moves to embarrass yourself!"

Feeling the powerful force coming from his arm, Rhodes' lips slightly raised.

Immediately afterwards, Rhodes' arm suddenly exerted force, and more power burst out from the body, impacting Katakuri's body together with the domineering force.

"External attack!"

Katakuri's arm trembled.

He can also show off his domineering attitude.

However, rather than attacking externally, he prefers to wrap his domineering energy around his body and crush everything with absolute hardness.

What's more, even in the new world, there are only a handful of people who can break through the color hardening of his weapons and cause him harm.

"Ba Fist·Impact!"

A mediocre straight punch was released from Rhodes' hand, but at the same time as the punch was swung, the extremely strong domineering and impact hit Katakuri at the same time.

"Such an attack can't hit me."

Katakuri slightly dodged, making Rhodes' attack instantly miss, and then put his hands on the ground, releasing a force.

"Devil Fruits can be awakened!"

With Katakuri as the center, everything around him suddenly became soft, the ground was undulating, like waves, and even the buildings not far away became soft under that force.

"Flowing glutinous rice balls!"

The soft ground instantly squirmed, turning into tentacles with fangs and claws grabbing towards Rhodes.

"Raining glutinous rice!"

More glutinous rice surged, and in an instant it turned into thick rice cake strips, quickly bombarding the direction where Rhodes was.

"This is more reasonable."

Rhodes took a deep breath, domineering wrapped around his fist, and then swung it at the oncoming sea of ​​rice cake strips.

"Baquan·Xinghe Rewind!"

Under the wild domineering and shock waves, Katakuri's rice cake strips were instantly blown away, and Rhodes rushed over instantly, swinging his clenched fist at Katakuri fiercely.

...

"This is a good opportunity!"

Gion looked at Katakuri who was fighting with Rhodes, stroking his weapon in his hand, and was quite eager to move.

Katakuri, the leader of the three dessert generals, is the second son of the [Four Emperors] Charlotte Linlin, and the second combat force of the Big Mom Pirates. In the case of Charlotte Linlin's long-term absence, the other party is almost the most important force of the Big Mom Pirates.

If the other party can be left here, it will definitely be a huge weakening of the Big Mom Pirates.

"Don't be carried away, little Gion."

The calm voice of Vice Admiral Tsuru came.

"The Navy is not ready to go to war with the Four Emperors yet."

"Besides, it is precisely because of the so-called three generals of the dessert that Charlotte Linlin can stay safely in her Wan Guo. If this pattern is broken, it is unknown what that guy will do."

"We in the Navy do not want to see a Four Emperor who has lost his mind stirring up trouble on the sea."

It is well known that Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, is a moody guy. However, in recent years, with the stability of the Wan Guo under her rule and the performance of the three generals of the dessert, the other party has rarely appeared in person on the sea.

However, as an older generation of the Navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru has not forgotten the powerful destructive power of this strongest female pirate.

"Compared to Katakuri, I am more concerned about this Shichibukai, [Baquan] Rod."

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Rod who was suppressing Katakuri, his face was still calm, but his eyes were full of caution.

The combined power of Rod, the captain, and Neru, who ate the Thunder Fruit and could remain undefeated for a long time even against Katakuri, is already very strong.

If we count the other people under Rod, there is no doubt that the power held by this kid is too strong.

"What are you going to do with your original plan?"

Gion glanced at Tsuru.

"That doll princess has been captured."

"Hahahaha, are you trying to recruit a new Shichibukai, Tsuru!"

Garp's heartless voice suddenly sounded.

Tsuru looked at the boy held in Garp's hand.

"How about making this kid a Shichibukai!"
