Total Suppression

Dark clouds obscured the sky, and the air crackled with explosions. In the flickering light, two figures stood facing each other.

Putting down Counter, Katakuri a sullen face, slowly stepped forward and stopped two meters away from Ye Chen.

Katakuri was a head and a half taller than Ye Chen, and he looked down at him.

"State your name!"

His cold arrogance and domineering presence were irresistible, and an aura of power emanated from him.

Looking up, cold and indifferent, Ye Chen reached out and beckoned to Katakuri with an even more domineering gesture.

In a flash, Katakuri's eyes flashed, and the trident in his hand, like lightning in the night, pierced towards Ye Chen's head in an instant.

Amidst the clash of swords and the roar of horses, sparks flew as a slender hand forcefully blocked the blade of a trident, instantly blasting the ground apart. A storm raged around the two men, lifting the earth.

"Boom boom boom"

They stared at each other, their Conqueror's Haki paling the entire world.

With a slight look of anger, Katakuri clenched his left fist, his black Armament Haki gleaming, and slammed it fiercely towards Ye Chen.

The Meteorite exploded, the two fists collided, and just then, a whip kick swept across.

With a cold expression, Ye Chen's knee struck out, accompanied by a deafening thud. The ground cracked, his body slid sideways, and he slowly emerged from the shattered ground.

The two were evenly matched; after only two exchanges, Katakuri knew that the guy in front of him was no less capable than him.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Ye Chen looked at Katakuri, who then vanished with a deafening roar.

"Here."

Looking down with his Observation Haki, Katakuri sneered and thrust his trident directly into the empty space on his right.

Suddenly, Katakuri's expression changed, because by a hair's breadth, the difference was enormous. Ye Chen had grazed the edge of the trident and flew to his side, delivering a jet-black, gleaming punch that swept away the wind and slammed into him.

At the last second, Katakuri to the side, a loud bang in his ear, but just then, a whip-like leg lashed out, making his eyelids twitch.

With no other choice, he abandoned the trident, crossed his arms in front of his face, and assumed a defensive stance.

Tearing through eardrums, an endless hurricane swept through, revealing Katakuri's hands, which were as uneven as flour, before shooting backward, scattering countless fragments of rock.

Ye Chen pulled his foot back and landed on the ground, ignoring the dust.

A series of footsteps came from the dust. Katakuri's arms were hanging down, and the uneven surface of his arms writhed and slowly returned to normal.

With a cold expression, Katakuri looked at Ye Chen without saying a word, and for the first time took the initiative to attack.

"Whoosh"

Moving close to the ground, Katakuri pulled his hands back, then suddenly roared, transforming into a series of afterimages as he attacked Ye Chen.

Seeing Katakuri's attack, Ye Chen frowned slightly. No matter how you looked at it, it was similar to Luffy's attack.

Unpredictable and elusive, Ye Chen moved like a blur amidst the dense barrage of fist shadows, dodging back and forth.

An atmospheric boom resounded, the speed increased rapidly, and Katakuri gradually drew closer.

With a downward slam of his right hand, a powerful force shot through the air, Katakuri's knee sending Ye Chen flying into the void. At the same time, his right hand exploded with an extremely cunning attack.

Vanished in an instant, Ye Chen reappeared to Katakuri's left, his right foot lifting off the ground and kicking out.

His entire body bent over, and at the moment of contact, Ye Chen was slightly moved, raising his hands to protect his head.

Flying backward, Ye Chen did several backflips in the air, looking at Katakuri with some surprise, because Katakuri's abnormally bent waist was recovering, and there was some sticky residue left on his feet.

"Ye Chen, that guy is Big Two's second son, a Paramecia Fruit user who ate the Mochi Mochi no Mi."

Strawberry, who had long since moved away from the battle, let out a shout.

Ye Chen glanced sideways, flicked his hand, and disappeared from the spot.

"Boom"

In mid-air, two fists, one large and one small, collided violently, causing the surrounding lightning to surge wildly.

A sweeping attack ensued, the two engaged in close combat, each strike creating a massive upheaval.

Katakuri's neck, while his other hand shot into the air, aiming for Ye Chen's stomach.

As they brushed past each other, Ye Chen flipped over, his entire body hooked up, and pressed down with his foot. Katakuri, with his hands above his head and his feet deep in the ground, twisted his hands, grabbed Ye Chen's foot, and pulled hard, his knee rising from the ground.

Armed with both Armament Haki covering his body, Ye Chen coughed up blood, his previously indifferent expression turning fierce. He swept out with his other foot, breaking Katakuri's upper body in two with a loud bang.

Creating some distance, Ye Chen stood on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His expression was rather grim, because the opponent's body was healing as if it were a Logia, and his attack had not had any effect.

With a bent leg, a hurricane struck. Katakuri's right leg, pitch black and elongated like rubber, swept towards Ye Chen.

"Interesting!"

Seeing Katakuri's abilities, which were similar to Luffy's, Ye Chen clenched his fist, vanished, and reappeared in front of Katakuri.

"Boom boom boom"

The sudden explosion shook the entire island, causing the ground to collapse layer by layer, tearing countless cracks, and a massive hurricane swept through, with smoke and flames swirling in the air.

"Bang bang"

Like rain, giant rocks fell one after another, creating a horrifying scene. A crater hundreds of meters wide was formed, and the turmoil continued, tearing apart the entire harbor.

"Cough cough"

In the distance, Katakuri was surrounded by smoke, his body solidified, blood was spitting from his mouth, and his face was somewhat pale.

The sudden and powerful explosion, with its force and impact, left him momentarily stunned.

A chill ran down his spine. A sinister face was right in front of him, inches away. A whooshing sound came, and Katakuri leaned back. He thought he had dodged it, but just then, another explosion rang out.

An immense tearing force pressed down, unparalleled, with flames Burning and the earth cracking and splitting, leaving the entire shattered surface unrecognizable.

Surrounded by smoke and flames, Ye Chen stood not far away, shook his feet, and felt pretty good.

"Wow"

On the shattered ground, Katakuri bent over, his body tattered and bleeding profusely.

His ability, like Logia user, can ignore many attacks, and can even negate several layers of Armament Haki. However, he is still just a sticky rice ball, and is afraid of both water and fire.

Leaving aside the impact of Ye Chen's explosion, the temperature alone was enough to make Katakuri uncomfortable. Most importantly, there was also Armament Haki.

That's right, the combination of Armament Haki and his abilities is one of the rewards Ye Chen has gained from two years of training.

"You're in the Navy!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Katakuri's face was grim. With the two explosions, Katakuri recalled the four people that the Navy had been talking about two years ago.

Narrowing his eyes, Ye Chen didn't answer, but just stared coldly at Katakuri.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The next moment, Katakuri did something that surprised Ye Chen: his right hand grew longer, gripping the trident and the Counter. Without saying a word, he glanced at Ye Chen one last time and left.

I've been here too long. I can't take down this navy in a short time. Navy reinforcements will probably arrive soon. I've already got the egg tarts. The most important thing now is to send them back. Otherwise, if my mother's sweet tooth flares up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There will be other opportunities in the future if the outcome of a match is undecided!

Ye Chen did not stop Katakuri from leaving, but his brows were furrowed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
