Amidst the swirling Red Mist, Luo Chen One Flash to Katakuri's side and raised his blood-red fist to smash into him.
Bang...
Luo Chen's punch was faster than the speed of sound. A sonic boom cloud appeared in front of him, and then his fist suddenly struck Katakuri's crossed arms as he blocked.
call out...
Sizzle sizzle...
Katakuri's body flew sideways once again, leaving two deep furrows in the ground where his feet had dragged him for a long distance before finally coming to a stop.
"Shave... Shadow Flash!!"
call out...
Luo Chen's figure vanished from Katakuri's sight once again in an instant.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
"Um??"
Katakuri didn't panic when he saw Luo Chen disappear. He immediately calmed down and used his Observation Haki to sense his presence.
Suddenly, he was astonished. In his Observation Haki, Luo Chen's figure seemed to multiply into dozens of figures, constantly moving around him. However, he knew very well that there was only one Luo Chen. The reason for this was simply that Luo Chen's speed was so fast that it created a brief image in his perception.
Seeing this, Katakuri did not act immediately, but instead calmly waited for his opponent's next move.

" Shigan. Awakening of Insects!!"
brush...
Finally, after wandering around for a while, Luo Chen launched an attack, his figure suddenly appearing in front of him, his four fingers clenched tightly, his index finger extended, like a thunderclap, drawing a winding and elusive afterimage in the air, stabbing towards his heart.
"..."
Faced with this Thunderbolt -fast attack, Katakuri also acted in an instant, Observation Haki to accurately see through fragments of the future and conceal part of his body.
boom...
Critical Strike rang out, glutinous liquid splattered, and a large hole was blasted into Katakuri's heart. The aftershocks continued to propagate behind him, blasting through the ground.
Wow...
Dust flew everywhere, and the surroundings were shrouded in a pale yellow haze.
Swoosh...
" Horn Mochi!!"
Just as Luo Chen used his Observation Haki to sense the other party's presence, the gray mist in front of him was torn apart, and then Katakuri's right hand, Mochi into a black mochi fist, swung out.
Bang!!
Without a second thought, Luo Chen threw a punch to meet the attack.
Fists collided, the reverberation echoing all around, and streams of translucent air were compressed and reverberated by the Impact.
" Rankyaku... Great Wind Cut!!"
Clang!!
The stalemate lasted less than half a minute. Luo Chen pulled his hand back, hooked his right foot upward, and a white wind blade swirled up.
" Mochi Scythe!!"
brush...
Seeing this, Katakuri stepped back and also raised his right foot to sweep forward.
boom!!
Hiss... Bang!!
His long, black legs, wrapped in Armament Haki, suddenly extended and shattered the large wind blade unleashed by Luo Chen, causing the air currents to scatter wildly.
"Time is running out. I will do my best to finish you off... Sword Technique... Dragon Flash!!"
Chant~
After saying that, Luo Chen swung his sword, unleashing Dragon Roar slash that roared to the sky as it hurtled towards Katakuri.
Clang!!
"Really? Then me too..."
The Flying Slash slashed past, cutting a large gash in Katakuri's face, which was then smoothed back together by the white, sticky paste.
Seeing that his opponent seemed intent on ending the battle as soon as possible, he naturally decided not to hold back any longer and to go all out against the opponent he respected.
"Shave... Wandering Trace!!"
Having said that, Luo Chen flashed through the air in a zigzag pattern, attacking him once again.
"While your Observation Haki is indeed very strong, as long as your speed is fast enough to exceed your reflexes, that's enough. Crimson Breath Dragon Fist... Tremor!!"
The next moment, Luo Chen reappeared in front of him, speaking as he unleashed a punch that combined trembling fist energy with the power of the Devil Fruit.
Buzz...
Bang!!
Katakuri was caught completely off guard and was instantly blasted away.
call out...
"Secret Technique... Crimson Breath Dragon Fist... Explode!!"
boom...
Before he could stop, Luo Chen threw another punch right behind him. The explosive force of the punch, combined with the Blood Breath, made him feel as if he were inside a gunpowder bomb, causing him to be thrown back again.
call out...
" Crimson Breath Dragon Fist... Break!!"
This time, he used the force of Shatter Destruction fists, which, unlike tremors and Burst, only broke through one surface, causing him to lose his reaction instantly and fly out again.
boom...
Dust flew and smoke billowed as Katakuri lay in a deep, dark, human-shaped crater, peering at the light streaming in from outside. He tapped his finger lightly, slowly rising to prepare to retaliate.
call out...
In another One Flash, Luo Chen flew above it, stretched out his palm and aimed it at Katakuri below. A six-pointed star pattern flew out from his palm and began to spin, while a beam of high-intensity energy condensed at the same time.
"I won't give you even the slightest chance to react, Katakuri. Take this!"
" Blood Breath... Demon Roar Cannon!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red energy beam shot out from his pattern, heading straight for Katakuri below.
"..."
Katakuri knew that if he were hit by this attack, even with his great abilities, he would inevitably suffer serious damage. He immediately activated the power of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, assimilating the mud and ground around him and mobilizing all the mochi he could control to surround him and block the attack.
boom...
The beam of light exploded, white glutinous rice paste flew everywhere, and the surrounding soil splashed, once again obscuring the area with sand and dust.
brush...
Luo Chen appeared at the cave entrance and used his Observation Haki to sense its movements, but he did not detect any signs of life there.
"Where are you? I don't believe you'll fall to my probing attack. Come out now, Katakuri!!"
brush...
"I'm here!! Willow Mochi!!"
In a flash, Katakuri spotted Luo Chen's location and appeared behind him, splitting his legs into dozens to attack him from different angles.
Kami-e... Wind Dance
Luo Chen used his deepened understanding and mastery of Kami-e to dodge the kicks coming from all directions and kept moving closer to his opponent.
call out...
" Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!"
" Horn Mochi!!"
boom...
Katz... Katz...
As their fists clashed, their energy surged, crimson lightning flashed, and waves of energy rippled and scattered the dust and dirt that had settled and lingered on the ground and in the air.
call out...
" Mochi Thrusts..."
" Shigan... Storm!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Fingertips collided with the fist imprint, and a violent surge of energy swept through the vicinity once again. Wherever it passed, the air currents became turbulent, the ground was torn apart, and plants snapped.
brush...
" All-Things Mimicry... Blood Shadow Clone "
After a brief standoff, Luo Chen distanced himself from him and activated his power, causing his Blood Breath to coalesce around him, forming three dark red clones identical to himself.
"Now it's my turn to step up my game..."
Sword Technique... Crescent Moon Slash
" Fire Shigan... draw"
" Rankyaku... Boomerang "
The three Shura clones surrounded Katakuri, preventing him from moving. Then, they opened their mouths simultaneously and spoke, each launching an attack on him using different techniques.
There was a Flying Slash Crescent Moon formed from cleaving waves, Rankyaku hooked up by a Boomerang, and a flame cannon formed from Shigan.
They attacked from three sides in an instant.
Swoosh...
Katakuri tried to dodge the attacks by flying overhead, but Luo Chen appeared above him first, his ability conjuring eight shackles that locked onto him.
Whoosh... Clang!! Clang!! Clang!!
Katakuri was caught off guard and was bound by shackles, falling to the ground and facing the combined attack of three clones.
Boom boom boom!!
Time was extremely short, Katakuri was hit by the attack before he could react. Instantly, sword light, flames, and gusts of wind exploded on his body.
