Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 564 - 331: Cleaving Through Will!
"Shadow Claw!"
A shadowy claw swept across Daifuku’s body, causing him to pause momentarily before a burst of blood gushed from his chest. The Lamp Spirit on his belt was also interrupted, and he collapsed onto the deck.
"You are the one..."
Moriah glanced at Daifuku who had lost consciousness due to the injury and chuckled, "Don’t underestimate me."
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are not to be trifled with.
If they couldn’t even defeat some of the subordinates of the Four Emperors, they would have failed long ago and not held their positions for so long.
Just like the former Warlord who was defeated by ’Fire Fist’ Ace.
Such a tragic defeat would lead to being removed from the position.
"The plan is right."
Moriah looked at the radiance emerging from the sea, his voice sinking low.
"But whether we can hold on is hard to say. Since we’re following your plan, we must complete it well. We can’t afford to fail easily... Lily."
With that, he continued to move toward the other ships.
The extra, unguarded enemies with combat ability were perfectly manageable for him, Moriah.
Next, it was up to them...
...
"Flying Bird·Raid!"
In the wreckage on the opposite side of the sea, like a thunderbolt, Lily appeared high in the sky, swinging her blade downward to unleash a powerful Half Moon Slash.
The speed was so fast that it was completely invisible to the naked eye.
But no need to see with the naked eye. As Lily made her move, Katakuri had already leaped aside, dodging to another piece of wreckage, raising a fist high and instantly launching it.
"Grilled Mochi!"
The fist detached from Katakuri’s wrist, trailing strands of mochi, the launched fist somehow burning with heat, its flame enveloped in Armament Hardening.
The moment the blast was released, it caused the air to explode with bangs, its speed no slower than Lily’s movement.
As Lily finished her assault, the fist already reached below her.
This move couldn’t be taken head-on!
Its power was immense!
But if she dodged, the opening wouldn’t be enough!
Grinding her teeth, Lily sheathed White Thunder instantly, swiftly drew it out again, forming a black thunderbolt in the air, slashing straight down.
"Extreme Thunder Slash!"
BOOM!!
The fiery mochi fist was struck by the slash like a thunderbolt; after a moment of delay, it quickly tore through the lightning and continued its upward impact.
BANG!
A figure plummeted diagonally from the air, crashing into the sea, causing a gigantic splash.
Amidst the spray, flashes of lightning burst forth, slicing the water into segments, and a figure shot out, landing on a piece of wreckage.
"Ha, ha..."
Lily’s dazzling wavy golden hair was damp, partially hanging disheveled in front of her pretty face.
Her face was pale, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and her waist and ribs wrapped in armor were also stained with blood.
The move was very powerful. She barely avoided the full hit by using a slash first to cause a delay and then sidestepping to dodge.
Even so, the move’s power could not be underestimated.
That is Katakuri...
"I told you, I can see your attacks."
The red glow in Katakuri’s eyes emitted faint lightning, "Every move is useless against me."
During their battle, Lily used all sorts of techniques, whether it was rapid thrusts or dense Soaring Slashes, all perfectly dodged by him.
Under Foreseeing the Future, every attack had traces to follow; even large-scale offensives could be preemptively dodged and counter-attacked.
"Good strategy, but some things are destined to fail." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Katakuri thought for a moment, "You want Moriah to handle others, but never considered that you’re not my match. Once I defeat you, I can still find Moriah to fight, leaving you with one less combatant here."
It wasn’t Moriah who fought him, so he knew what was happening.
The strategy was good. If it were Katakuri himself, facing numerous foes, he might do the same.
But the prerequisite is having matching power.
This woman is not bad, but to deal with him, it’s far from enough.
Faster than the already occurring future?
"Stop underestimating me!"
Lily gripped White Thunder tightly, her expression exceptionally resolute, "Since I chose to hold you back, I have my reasons! Don’t declare victory so easily here!"
"Is that so..."
Katakuri’s arm sprouted large globs of mochi, surrounding his trident and rotating rapidly, the front edge staining a shade so dark it was almost red.
"Then I’ll just have to kill you first!"
BANG!
He stepped forward, rising into the air, and the spinning trident hurled straight at Lily.
"You can’t escape anywhere!"
In the future, this woman did not move but prepared to draw her sword and counterattack...
Very well, courage commendable...
Then let us engage in a fierce battle!
Lily took a deep breath, just as Katakuri foresaw in the future, sheathed White Thunder, assumed the Iaido Stance, and fixed her gaze firmly upon him.
Dodge?
Retreat?
Choosing Katakuri as an opponent, beyond maximizing battle results, was to let this guy refine her!
Training ultimately has its limits; without fighting deadly enemies, growth would be minimal.
After Sage’s and Kaido’s battle, they only got stronger and stronger.
In comparison, those of them striving hard to catch up were still a bit short.
