One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 188: Conqueror’s Haki, Fruit Awakening!

"Useless!"

Rhodes put down the doll in his hand.

I don’t know if my domineering aura is not strong enough or if my guess is wrong, but the ability of this “doll princess” cannot be removed by domineering aura.

Under Rhodes' domineering impact, the doll remained the same, without any change.

"Humph! My ability can't be removed so easily!"

Liluka looked at Rhodes.

“I told you, let me go, I will fight that monster with you!

That ugly guy didn't take me seriously at all and completely destroyed my castle. I must turn him into a doll and ravage him!"

Rhodes glanced at the battle over there.

He just stole Pukki's flour. The Big Mom Pirates really couldn't understand why they sent the leader of the Three Dessert Generals to chase him just for such a small matter.

However, with Nelu's strength, he should be able to hold on for a while.

Fighting against such a strong enemy is also a rare experience for Neilu.

As for this one.

Rhodes looked at the pink-haired girl who was slumped on the ground because of the seastone handcuffs, his green pupils full of coldness.

Swah——

The sword at the waist was unsheathed in an instant, and the cold blade was pressed against Liluka's neck. The sharp blade seemed to be about to cut off her neck in the next second.

"You, still insist on not removing your ability?"

Looking at Rhodes' cold expression and sharp eyes, Liluka's heart trembled slightly.

The other party seemed to really want to kill her!

Doesn't he care about the life or death of his companions at all?
How could he be sure that the ability of his fruit would be eliminated if he was killed?

Yes, that's right, he absolutely dare not gamble!
Liluka encouraged herself in her heart and forced herself to look at Rhodes.

"Just let me go, and I will restore all your companions to their original state."

"Oh, that's a pity!"

Rhodes' eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. Under his powerful restraint, that intimidating aura condensed into one and accurately bombarded Liluka's body.

"This is……!!"

Liluka only saw Rhodes' eyes glare, and then a terrifying aura suddenly pressed down on her, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. Under the pressure of that powerful aura, her mind went blank, and her body swayed and fell backwards.

"Overlord and domineering!"

Before her consciousness faded, Liluka's mind was full of doubts.

She had also seen Conqueror's Haki before, but with her strength, ordinary Conqueror's Haki could not shake her will at all, let alone make her faint.

Also, why did others not react at all?

"Huh? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Gray looked at Liluka, who suddenly fainted, in confusion.

"You are indeed the one, Rhode! You actually frightened the other person to death."

Rhodes ignored Gray and paid close attention to the dolls in front of him.

After the user loses consciousness, the ability originally exerted may become ineffective.

The person with the "Childlike Fruit" ability in the Don Quixote family is like this. Her fruit ability can turn others into toys and erase the memory of the people who have become toys from everyone's mind.

However, as long as the user loses consciousness and falls into a coma, the toys that were originally transformed by her ability will return to their original state.

However, there are also cases where even if the user dies, the ability originally exerted will continue to exist.

It would be better if the ability of this "Doll Fruit" is not like that, otherwise there will be trouble later.

Under Rhodes' slightly nervous eyes, a faint pink light appeared on several dolls, and then the light gradually dimmed, and the dolls were still lying there.

"It's troublesome."

Rhodes frowned slightly.

It's the worst case scenario.

boom! ! !
The terrifying thunder erupted again. With the cover of thunder and lightning, Nelu flashed and avoided Katakuri's attack, while releasing thunder and lightning to attack Katakuri.

His strength is still insufficient. If he had not eaten the Thunder Fruit, he would probably have been defeated the first time he faced Katakuri.

However, even so, he was now fighting very hard. He could only rely on his elemental ability and his powerful observation Haki to fight with the opponent, and was unable to confront him head-on.

"That must be [Ba Quan] Rod."

Katakuri easily dealt with Neru's attack. He noticed Rod's presence. The number of rice cakes emerging from his body increased instantly. Several long legs made of rice cakes kicked towards Rod suddenly. Under the entanglement of domineering, each long leg reflected a domineering luster.

“Willow Cake!!”

Bang! !

Rhodes held the sword in one hand and blocked it in front of him. The long legs created by Katakuri's ability hit Rhodes in front of him, but were easily blocked.

"Kosa, settle them all first, and take this enemy with you."

"Minina, Gray, Brooke, the safety of our friends is in your hands."

"Do not worry!"

Minina patted her chest.

"I will definitely protect my companions before I fall myself."

"Well, so should we retreat now or..."

Brooke scratched his head.

"Retreat? It's the enemy that should retreat!"

A smile flashed across Rhodes' face, but that smile seemed particularly cold.

How can the unknown [Doll Princess] compare to the famous [Three Dessert Generals]?

"One Sword Style: Dragon Slash!"

Domineering aura flowed, black lightning flashed around Rhodes, and a powerful domineering aura wrapped around the blade of Qiu Shui. At the same time Rhodes spoke, the blade had already fallen in front of Katakuri.

too fast!
It was so fast that Katakuri had no time to react. Even if he had predicted Rod's attack with his Observation Haki, he could not be as calm as he was in dealing with other attacks.

too strong!
Obviously, Rhodes' body size was much smaller than Katakuri's, and he was holding only a normal-sized weapon in his hand, but when Rhodes attacked, Katakuri's vision seemed to be filled with the light of the sword.

"Hakubo rice cake!"

Katakuri's arms instantly turned into strips of rice cakes, with terrifying domineering aura gathered on them, and he swung them hard to meet Rhodes's attack.

boom! ! !
A terrifying air wave erupted instantly, and black lightning flashed around the two people's bodies.

As powerful men standing at the top of the ocean, they have mastered the use of domineering aura to perfection. With each strike, the gap between the impact of domineering aura and the physical blow is very short, thus achieving a critical hit effect.

That is the power that Rhodes calls [Ba Flash]!

"You are very strong!"

Katakuri took two steps back, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Rhodes opposite him.

"You're not bad either."

Rhodes secretly estimated Katakuri's strength.

As the second strongest force among the Four Emperors, he is already one of the most powerful people in the world.

However, I am stronger now!

Be it in terms of physique or domineering, I should be superior to him now!

"Rod."

With a flash of lightning, Nayru appeared beside Rhodes. "I'm sorry to interfere with your fight."

Rhodes stared at Katakuri opposite him and said to Neru without turning his head.

"But I'm in a bad mood right now!"

Thinking of Luo and the others who were still trapped in the doll and unable to get out, a fire burned in Rhodes' heart that could not be extinguished.

[Doll Princess] has been captured, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as she is in our hands, we can always find a way to rescue Law and the others. However, Katakuri in front of us is an existence that cannot be ignored.

In the eyes of the other party, I am probably just a small character who can be easily defeated.

But he will change his mind soon!

Feeling the anger in Rhodes' heart, Nalu nodded and did not pursue the outcome of his battle too much.

"I'll leave it to you, Rhodes!"

With a flash of lightning, Nalu appeared directly next to Minina and the others.

"Kosa, take the doll and hide. Gray, you treat Bonis and Webber first, and also be on guard against the doll princess."

"What about us?"

Brooke pointed to his head.

"We just need to calmly wait for the outcome of the battle."

Neylu looked at Rhodes over there and said softly.

However, it is not certain whether you can wait with peace of mind.

After all, there are other powerful people on this island now.

In Neru's perception, there are several extremely powerful auras on this island.

……

"So……"

Katakuri's arm squirmed and turned into a ball of rice cake, followed by domineering and heat flowing on his fist, and the whole fist instantly blasted out like a fired bazooka.

"Baked rice cakes!"

"Don't use this kind of move to embarrass yourself!"

With domineering aura entwined on the autumn water, Rod's power exploded instantly, and a terrifying slash cut the oncoming hot iron fist in half. The flying slash continued with momentum, slashing down fiercely at Katakuri.

Katakuri's eyes flashed red, and his whole body instantly turned into a flowing sticky ball, splitting his body on its own, allowing the slash to pass through his body and fall into the sea behind him, causing a violent wave.

"You are really strong!"

Feeling the waves coming from the sea behind him, Katakuri's eyes flickered slightly.

I didn’t expect to encounter such an interesting opponent in the first half of the Grand Line.

"However, since you dare to provoke our Big Mom Pirates, you must bear the corresponding consequences!"

Katakuri's arm instantly swelled up and turned into a huge mace-like shape, with domineering aura instantly wrapped around it. The man turned into a stream of light, and swung his huge arm fiercely at Rhodes.

"Cut, cut, rice cake!"

Squeak~~
Black lightning burst in the air. Rod inserted the Autumn Water into the scabbard and blocked Katakuri's attack with his fist.

"I've already told you not to use such moves to embarrass yourself!"

Feeling the powerful force coming from his arm, the corners of Rhodes' mouth rose slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Rhodes' arms suddenly exerted force, and more power burst out from his body, impacting Katakuri's body together with his domineering power.

"Outward attack!"

Katakuri's arm shook.

He can also express his domineering attitude.

However, compared to external attacks, he prefers to wrap his domineering aura around his body and crush everything with absolute hardness.

What's more, even in the New World, there are only a handful of people who can break through his hardened armament color and cause him harm.

"Ba Quan·Impact!"

An ordinary straight punch was released from Rod's hand, but at the same time as the punch was swung, the absolute domineering aura and impact hit Katakuri at the same time.

"Such an attack cannot hit me."

Katakuri dodged slightly, causing Rod's attack to miss the target instantly, then he placed his hands on the ground and released a force.

"Devil Fruits can be awakened!"

With Katakuri as the center, everything around him suddenly became soft, the ground undulated like waves, and even the buildings not far away became soft under that force.

"Flowing glutinous rice balls!"

The soft ground began to wriggle instantly, transforming into tentacles with bared fangs and claws that grabbed towards Rhodes.

"Cuiyu Nuomi!"

More glutinous rice surged up and instantly turned into thick rice cake strips, quickly bombarding the direction where Rhodes was.

"That makes sense."

Rhodes took a deep breath, his fist wrapped with domineering aura, and then swung it fiercely at the oncoming sea of ​​rice cake strips.

"Ba Quan: Galaxy Reversal!"

Under the wild domineering aura and shock wave, Katakuri's rice cake strips were instantly blown apart, and Rhodes' figure rushed over instantly, swinging his clenched fists fiercely at Katakuri.

……

“This is a great opportunity!”

Gion looked at Katakuri who was fighting with Rod, stroking his weapon in his hand, and seemed eager to make a move.

Katakuri, the leader of the Three Sweet Generals, is the second son of the [Four Emperors] Charlotte Linlin, and the second strongest force in the Big Mom Pirates. With Charlotte Linlin not involved in matters for a long time, she is almost the most important force in the Big Mom Pirates.

If they could keep the other party here, it would definitely be a huge weakening of the Big Mom Pirates' power.

"Don't let it get to your head, Gion-chan."

Came the calm voice of Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"The Navy is not ready to go to war with the Four Emperors yet."

"Moreover, it is precisely because of the so-called three dessert generals that Charlotte Lingling can stay safely in her Wan Kingdom. If this pattern is broken, who knows what that guy will do."

"We in the navy don't want to see a Four Emperor who has lost his mind causing trouble on the sea."

As we all know, Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, is a moody guy. However, in recent years, with the stability of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms she rules and the performance of the Three Dessert Generals, she has rarely appeared in person on the sea.

However, as a member of the older generation of the navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru has not forgotten the powerful destructive power of the strongest female pirate.

"Compared to Katakuri, I care more about this Shichibukai, [Baken] Rod."

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Rod who was suppressing Katakuri, his expression remained calm, but his eyes were full of caution.

Just Rod, the captain, and Nair, who ate the [Thunder Fruit] and was able to remain undefeated for a long time even against Katakuri, the combined power of these two people is already amazing.

If we include the other people under Rhodes' command, there is no doubt that the power wielded by this kid is too strong.

"What about your original plan?"

Gion glanced at Tsuru.

"The doll princess has been captured."

"Hahahaha, are you trying to recruit a new Shichibukai, Xiaozuru?"

Garp's heartless voice suddenly rang out.

Crane looked at the young man that Captiva was holding.

"How about making this boy one of the Shichibukai!"
