Chapter 178, crack! The nemesis of predicting the future!
In Lovett's mind, Katakuri has two methods that are the most troublesome.
One is to predict the future.
This makes him a lot of insidious... No, righteous tactics cannot work. Only conspiracies like the Hell Sea or spell attacks that he cannot react to can be hit.
The second is fruit awakening!
The awakened state of the Nuo Nuo Fruit, like the Thread Fruit, can assimilate other substances into rice cakes, which can be controlled by the ability user. The attack bonus brought by this makes Katakuri no less than the natural type.
And it can also add domineering power to take its power to the next level!
Even as a mage, you still cannot be careless when facing this kind of long-range attack!
Whoosh!
Densely packed rice cake sticks shot out, covering the entire space from top to bottom, left and right, and without trying to break them one by one, Lovett stood on the water with his cane, and his energy was high.
Summons from the Underworld·Skeleton Mountain Dragon Shield!
Bang!
Compared to the one in the East China Sea, the Dragon Shield summoned this time was extremely huge, over a hundred meters high and dozens of meters wide, like a mountain peak blocking Lovett.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Almost at the moment when the shield popped out of the ink mark, a violent impact sounded instantly.
One after another, the rice cake sticks hit the huge shield with spiral horns, making a deafening knocking sound. At the same time, those rice cake sticks that were not blocked by the shield shot into the black sea, making large splashes of water.
"As expected, you can't touch the bottom!"
Katakuri looked into the distance with slight palpitations, feeling glad for his decision.
The rice cake sticks that fell into the water easily tore open the Black Sea, but a lot of seawater splashed on them in the process. Then the evil spirits in the water pounced on him decisively, causing him to lose control of this part of the rice cake.
If his fruit awakening ability hadn't continued to spread and the bone platform that had assimilated to the ground had not been replenished, even his current footing would soon collapse.
"The Black Count deliberately didn't use this trick just now. If I thought that standing on the rice cake was safe, I would have been fooled by him!"
Taking a silent breath, Katakuri looked at the huge shield blocking Lovett's front and snorted coldly.
Unparalleled donuts!
White rice cake balls with a diameter of about one meter suddenly appeared on the rice cake platform. Aiming in the direction of the shield, Katakuri threw out his right arm, his armed color and domineering force bursting out.
Weird rice cake!
Bang!
A giant rice cake arm spurted out from the center of the donut. The surface was as black as ink and covered with thick armor-colored domineering force.
Based on the Wushuang Donut and superimposed with the Jiao Nuo Tuan attack, this move is extremely powerful and can easily destroy a warship.
Poof!
The huge iron fist collided heavily with the bone shield, and the impact caused by the collision exploded instantly, blowing away a large piece of black sea around it.
Immediately, a crack appeared in the bone shield, and it turned into a sky full of bone debris in the explosion.
But at this moment, a black beam of light burst out from the smoke cloud, pointing directly at Katakuri.
Curse Magic·Finger of Death!
"Can't block it hard!"
Predicting the future movement, Katakuri could see what would happen if he tried to block it with the rice cake ball. The black light pillar would directly penetrate the rice cake ball's defense and inject the wronged soul contained in it into his body.
So he decisively dodged and let the black beam of light fly past him, avoiding the attack.
But at this time...
"What?!"
The beam of light did fly past him, but then it split into hundreds of thin, silk-like attacks, crossing 36° in mid-air and hitting his back.
"Did he prepare it long ago?"
A flash of shock flashed in Katakuri's eyes, and then he shook his head: "No, if he had planned it in advance, there is no way I could not see it!"
Five or six seconds is enough to see through Lovett's trick.
"So this is his temporary change of attack form!"
"You can actually control your abilities to such a fine degree!"
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, Katakuri's body spread out, and before the light beam came into contact with him, the position that was supposed to be hit continued to squirm, forming a gap.
Whoosh!
The beams of light flew out through the gaps, seemingly as if they had passed through Katakuri's body, but they did not cause any harm to him.
The next second, Katakuri's eyes widened in shock again.
"It's down there!"
Rumble!
I saw the black ocean rippling violently, and sharp blades of water appeared from below the platform, slashing hard at the pillars supporting the rice cake platform.
"He wants to destroy the platform and make me lose my footing!"
The future he saw was the original future, but when the original future was changed, time entered a new unknown stage.
This weakness is not considered a weakness. The moment the future is changed, Katakuri has often ended the battle. Even if it cannot be ended, the opponent cannot pose more unknown threats.
But when he faced Lovett, this weakness was infinitely magnified.
With the blessing of Lovett's huge computing power, his attack ideas are always changing in response to changes in the battlefield. Katakuri can see what he was going to do originally, but when the future changes, what he will do next second
What, another brand new future.
Sizzle!
The black water flowed at high speed, constantly cutting the rice cake pillars like a high-pressure water gun. Katakuri did not dare to be careless when he felt the vibration under his feet.
Nine rice cakes!
Donuts appeared one after another under the high platform, and then a huge rice cake iron fist wrapped in armed colors erupted from it, blasting away the sharp blades of the sea water.
"Huh? Your counterattack was a second too late."
At this time, a slightly surprised voice came from the smoke in the distance.
Wow!
Waving away the smoke that blocked his vision with one hand, Lovett stood on the water with a surprised expression: "Does it mean that your future prediction didn't detect the attack I was going to do?"
"No, that's not right."
The corners of his mouth curled up, and Lovett lowered his fingers, allowing the water columns to connect with his fingers.
"I seem to have... reached the upper limit of your ability!"
He replayed the steps he had just taken to counterattack in his mind, and Lowitt accurately caught the slight incongruity. Then he raised his fingers, pulled out five black tornadoes and threw them towards Katakuri.
Rice cake giant shield!
There are both vengeful souls and sea water, and Katakuri definitely doesn't want to get involved in this type of attack.
Large balls of white rice cakes rose from the platform under his feet, turning into a wall to block him.
Bang!
The water whirlwind kept cutting into the giant rice cake shield, but with the blessing of the opponent's armed domineering force, it was in vain. Instead, the enemies bit and tore at it, causing the giant shield to continuously collapse and fly away.
But correspondingly, this will consume the number of innocent souls stored in the sea of hell, and the gain outweighs the loss.
So Lovett gave up the struggle and spit out the last syllable.
Combination casting!
Soul torrent!
The tornado in his right hand had not yet dissipated, and his left hand kept pulling out the innocent souls in the water, condensing them into white light, and shot a waist-thick beam of light towards Katakuri.
Armed Haki is a combination of vitality and spiritual power, with limited resistance to soul spells.
Dragon can use his willpower to integrate his fruit abilities into spiritual energy to break through the torrent of souls, but he will never be able to withstand it if he switches to armed domineering!
Back in the City of Spring Queen, even Garp accidentally had his arm corroded.
"So...what should you do?"
Lovett narrowed his eyes, his computing power was pushed to the extreme, and his soul shone brightly.
"Another unstoppable attack!"
Behind the wall, Katakuri once again saw the consequences of trying to block the beam of light through predicting the future. Just like the black beam of light just now, it easily penetrated the rice cake and drowned him in the torrent of souls.
So, still can’t resist forcefully!
Whoosh!
It was also a dodge, but this time Katakuri was more careful and kept a far enough distance to prevent Lovett from changing his moves.
but……
"Sure enough, he can only see the future before I change my moves at a time!"
A flash of light flashed in Lovett's eyes: "And I determined what to do next based on his actions. I changed my mind in an instant and exceeded the upper limit of what he could predict at one time!"
The two futures will not overlap, and your attack will completely occur after the future is changed.
Just like now...
boom!!
The torrent of souls tore through the rice cake wall with mighty force and moved forward, pulling through most of the deck and surging towards the sky.
But then, Katakuri looked down in shock, looking down.
"Why?!"
The black water flow turned into a sharp blade again, constantly cutting the rice cake pillars. The two attacks could not hit each other together. Katakuri never thought that Lovett was going to do this, not to mention that the prediction screen did not appear in the five or six seconds.
Because it makes no sense!
Lovett just had a sudden thought, giving up all preparations and attacking at will!
Bang!
Boom!
Once again, he used the same trick of using nine rice cakes to smash the water flow to stabilize the high platform. Suddenly, Katakuri looked gloomy and clenched his fists.
"This...monster!!"
He was fooled!
The shattering water flow revealed the most critical information, that is, he did not see this scene in advance!
as expected!
Bo!
Seeing this, Lovett snapped his fingers and pointed at Katakuri: "Five seconds, one breath!"
"Five seconds is the time you can predict, and one breath is the time you can predict. Charlotte Katakuri, I have seen through your ability!"
………………
I'll take a break today for the second update. I didn't sleep well. I'll continue the third update tomorrow and start paying off my debts.
