The Book-Book Fruit, a clash of spatial powers

The flames instantly engulfed Katakuri's upper body, and then, undeterred, burned the sea.

"Um?"

In mid-air, Samael stroked his chin. "Dodged it? Future Sight is really troublesome."

As the flames subsided, Katakuri was left with only half a body.

Strangely, the white substance on the waist of the upright legs wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its complete human form.

Samael grinned. "You're Paramecia, yet you can mimic Logia users by partially altering your body structure. You're quite interesting, kid."

Katakuri expressionless, simply observing calmly.

After a brief test, he had fully realized how troublesome his opponent was; Armament Haki simply couldn't grasp the opponent's "true form."

It's incredible, but it seems that the concept of a physical body doesn't exist in the other person.

This means that he is unable to launch any effective attack against it; he has never encountered such a bizarre being before.

"Why is there no original body? Or is what we're seeing actually a clone?"

Katakuri's mind raced, various guesses surfaced, but he quickly dismissed them.

Now is not the time to consider that; he doesn't necessarily need to defeat his opponent, he just needs to stall them.

The rest, leave to your companions!

"If even the sea can't defeat you... I don't believe it!"

As he said this, Katakuri suddenly squatted down and slapped the sand with both hands, one on each side.

Awakening Skill: Mochi Water Cannon!

Awakening Paramecia can project their power onto things outside themselves.

The beach within a hundred-meter radius was assimilated by the power of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, and the sand turned into white rice cakes, suddenly rising up in a clump.

Immediately, the giant rice cake transformed into a giant water gun, with a pipe at the end connecting to the sea.

The terrifying suction force draws in seawater, which is then ejected as a high-pressure water cannon.

You little rascal!

Samael's expression changed slightly. "You think this can deal with me? Mere Humans!"

With a roar, his body expanded, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall fire giant. Facing the incoming high-pressure water cannon, he unleashed a massive fiery fist.

"Fire Fist!"

A fiery fist descended from the sky and collided with a high-pressure water cannon in an instant. The forces of water and fire intertwined, and steam filled the air.

Finally, a huge explosion occurred.

At the same time.

It is located on the sea surface about ten kilometers away from Green Bit.

Charlotte Perospero stared at the fragment of the Vivre Card in her hand, confirming that it was pointing directly upwards.

"This is it. Can you handle it? Don't kill Lola and Cracker."

"You can rest assured."

Smoothie looked up at the sky. Although she couldn't see it with the naked eye, her Observation Haki allowed her to detect Lola's presence.

Just behind the clouds!

Taking a deep breath, Smoothie drew the longsword from her back, placed one foot on the figurehead, calmed her mind, and her face was resolute.

Gradually, a layer of pink, Haki enveloped her, and this Haki quickly converged on her sword.

"You only have one chance. If you can't shoot it down, things will get complicated," Charlotte Perospero warned.

Once is enough.

With that, Smoothie's eyes narrowed, and she slashed her longsword fiercely towards the sky.

Thump!!

A Flying Slash, a pink crescent-shaped sword aura a hundred meters long, shot straight into the sky.

At the same time.

Beyond the clouds, on the masthead of the Wave-Breaking Warrior, the sleeping pink dragon hatchling opened its eyes.

"Do you really have to come looking for trouble? I'm so sleepy."

Sigma yawned, flicked his dragon tail, and sailed away from the ship.

He descended from the sky, his body rapidly expanding, transforming in the blink of an eye into a thousand-meter-long dragon.

The dragon's head peeks out from the clouds, looking down upon the world.

The next moment, the dragon claw slashed forward, blocking the giant pink sword energy with a single strike.

Boom boom boom!

The atmosphere vibrated, Shockwave rolled back onto the sea surface, forming giant waves.

Smoothie's pupils contracted as she stood atop the swaying ship, muttering in disbelief, "He actually blocked my attack with just his bare body?!"

"You're annoying, Mere Humans."

Sigma Dragon opened its mouth slightly, and with a dissatisfied groan, suddenly retracted its claws.

With a bang, the giant pink sword energy was crushed by brute force.

The shattered sword energy fell into the sea, tearing the ocean apart as if slicing through tofu, and the wounds lingered for a long time.

Chapter 66 The Book-Book Fruit, A Battle of Space-Type Powers

The plan was wonderful, but reality was cruel.

Charlotte Perospero's face darkened.

He originally planned to send Katakuri to make the deal and hold off the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, while he himself would take the opportunity to shoot down the ship in the sky and rescue Lola and Cracker ahead of time.

At that time, the two sides will join forces and fight the Seven Deadly Sins again.

However, the plan failed right from the start.

Gazing at the pink dragon circling in the sky, Perospero's heart sank to the bottom.

"The same Mythical Zoan form as 'Kaido of the Beasts'!"

The previously seen wanted posters did not include a photograph; the image of Sigma was an abstract painting, featuring only a pink dragon head.

"How can there be two identical fruits in the world?" He looked utterly incredulous.

Not only him, but several high-ranking members of the Charlotte Family on the same ship also showed expressions of horror.

"On this vast ocean, everyone knows the two ironclad rules regarding Devil Fruit!"

"First rule: a person cannot eat two fruits, otherwise they will explode and die."

"Secondly... there are no two fruits with the same power!"

"But what is this dragon before us?"

Charlotte Daifuku, Paramecia Devil Fruit User.

Charlotte Oven, Paramecia Heat-Heat Devil Fruit User.

Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Paramecia Devil Fruit User.

The three of them spoke in turn, each hearing a sense of disbelief in the other's words.

Smoothie maintained her sword-wielding stance, gazing up at the pink dragon in the sky, when suddenly her expression changed, and she shouted:

"Prepare for defense! An attack is coming!"

High in the sky, the dragon's enormous eyes stared at the ships below, its mouth open, preparing to unleash a scorching breath.

"Bolo Breath!"

A burst of dragon's breath descended from the sky, heading straight for the pirate ship.

A deafening roar shook the surrounding area.

A huge hole was punched in the sea, and the seawater inside was instantly evaporated, while the surrounding seawater was slow to flow back in.

Large amounts of water vapor filled the sea surface, forming a fog zone with a diameter of one kilometer.

"Hmm? That's so simple... Did you kill them all?" Sigma was slightly taken aback. "What was that?"

He blinked hard, carefully observing the mist below.

A small book, as if flapping its wings like a bird, flew out of the mist.

Then, one book, two books, three books...

More than a dozen books flew out one after another, forming a staircase in the air.

A man with long, thin limbs and straw-like blond hair stood on the books, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

That was close! I almost got killed!

Sigma asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"Me? I was standing on the boat just now, didn't you see me?!" the man said angrily.

Sorry, I didn't notice. So who are you?

"My name is Charlotte Mont-d'Or, and I am a book-person who ate the Book-Book Fruit."

As he spoke, Mont-d'Or produced a book with a flick of his wrist, tossing it up and down. "Nickname: Clerk. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lust Sigma."

"You're the only one left? Are the others alright?" Sigma asked worriedly. "Do you still have the Devil Fruit you brought?"

He didn't care whether the Charlotte Family members were alive or dead; he was only worried about whether the Devil Fruit was intact.

Upon hearing this, Mont-d'Or's face immediately darkened.

The previous Bolo Breath was Kaido's signature move, and he had no doubt about the opponent's strength.

Why two identical fruits could exist in the world is a question that can be investigated later.

The most urgent task!

"Everyone else is fine too!"

With a loud shout, Mont-d'Or threw the book in his hand into the air.

The book shot up a thousand meters into the air, and just before Sigma, it suddenly exploded into a cloud of white smoke with a "poof," from which a lithe figure emerged.

"I'll hold him off, you guys go upstairs and rescue them!"

Smoothie roared and slashed her longsword fiercely at the pink dragon's eyeball.

Sigma only realized what was happening when he saw Smoothie emerge from a book.

The Book-Book Fruit's ability seems similar to Big Eye's Storyboard Fruit, both possessing space-related powers.

"I see, so these people avoided my attacks by hiding inside the books."

A sudden realization dawned on Sigma, who had no time to defend or dodge and could only take the blow head-on.

He closed his right eye.

Smoothie's sword struck his eyelid, producing only a clang and a burst of sparks.

"So tough! You monster! Is your defense on Kaido's level too?"

She gritted her teeth, her voice filled with disbelief.

A well-intentioned attack, imbued with Armament Haki and poised to strike, couldn't even break through the defense?

"Kaido, Kaido, you're so noisy!"

Sigma, displeased, flicked his dragon head, sending the small insect flying.

What is a minor movement to a dragon becomes an immense force to Smoothie.

She Armament Haki Hardening to block, but even so, she was still sent flying by the blow.
