Chapter 216: The man's determination has another reason
Although Lu Kai was very hungry and tired at this moment, his fighting power was not weakened at all. However, Charlotte Linling was obviously dying.
Lu Kai felt quite regretful about this, because he found that fighting with a strong person of Charlotte Lingling's level without any scruples could enable him to make great progress.
Therefore, Luke was eager to fight for another ten days and ten nights.
However, knowing his own position, Cyborg would definitely send warships to provide assistance as soon as possible, and would definitely let Sengoku lead the elite troops from the headquarters.
After all, the soldiers from the branch came here just to deliver food, and Steel Bone would never do that.
If the warship sails at full speed day and night, it should be there soon considering the time, so Lu Kai does not have that much time to waste.
The members of the Big Mom Pirates also tried to deliver the food they had prepared long ago to the battlefield to replenish Charlotte Linlin's strength, but they were unable to do so because they could not get close to the battlefield at all.
Seeing that Charlotte Lingling was already extremely weak, Lu Kai walked slowly towards her in the air.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The captain of a pirate group under Charlotte Linlin suddenly jumped up, ready to use the power of his fruit to launch a long-range sneak attack on Luke.
Luke, who noticed all this, hadn't moved yet, but another person moved, and that person was Katakuri.
He instantly appeared in front of the man, kicked him in the chest, kicked him back, and then shouted: "Everyone, don't move."
While shouting, beads of sweat had already appeared on Katakuri's forehead, because he had just used his observation Haki to see the future.
Once someone attacks Luke, Luke will immediately massacre them indiscriminately. That scene makes Katakuri shiver all over.
Lukai smiled at Katakuri who was a thousand meters away, and then came to Charlotte Linlin who was almost unconscious.
Thundercloud Zeus and Fire Prometheus were also completely panicked by Charlotte Lingling's coma, and they didn't even step forward to stop Lu Kai.
Instead, he watched helplessly as Lu Kai punched Charlotte Linlin in the chest, sending her flying backwards, in the direction where Katakuri was.
At this moment, all the members of the Big Mom Pirates were heading in this direction. After all, since Luke's subordinates were not there, it was meaningless for them to surround them, so they all gathered behind Charlotte Linlin.
Katakuri immediately activated the ability of his fruit, forming a soft sticky cushion, stopping Charlotte Linlin, and then holding her in his arms.
But Lu Kai was already walking towards them through the void.
Although they were walking, the feeling of oppression was more unbearable than if they were teleported directly, because the dull footsteps made by Lu Kai in the void seemed to be the countdown to their death.
Moreover, Lu Kai only took one step and appeared dozens of meters away, and soon he was able to reach the crowd.
Katakuri immediately handed Charlotte Linlin to Charlotte Daifuku, and shouted, "Everyone, retreat immediately. I will stop Lukai."
After hearing Katakuri's words, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then immediately began to retreat at a rapid speed. They had come in such a high-spirited manner, and now they were leaving in such a disgraceful manner.
Luke had no intention of stopping him, but continued to walk towards Katakuri.
When he was still ten meters away from Katakuri, Lukai stopped and said contemptuously: "You can't stop me."
But Katakuri showed no intention of retreating and still stood in front of Lukai, ready to fight.
"Don't mention it. You are the most suitable person to intercept me. At least you can last longer than others." Lu Kai smiled and said, "But this also proves that you are ready, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lukai appeared in front of Katakuri and punched Katakuri in the abdomen heavily.
Katakuri, who had foreseen this scene, began to dodge the moment Lukai disappeared, but how could the speed of dodging catch up with the speed of teleportation?
So Luke's fist still grazed Katakuri's right waist, injuring him immediately, but Katakuri did not retreat at all. Instead, he held the trident and took the initiative to attack Luke.
Katakuri used a life-threatening fighting style.
Because his family has not set sail yet, he absolutely cannot retreat at this time. Even if he dies, he must delay Lu Kai and buy time for his family to escape.
Katakuri did not hesitate at all to exchange the death of one person for the survival of 5000 people.
But the battle was not as exciting as imagined. Katakuri fought for his life but only held Luke back for five minutes.
This was still Lu Kai's attitude of playfulness. After all, the combat capabilities of both sides were completely not at the same level.
Katakuri's Observation Haki, which he is proud of and can foresee the future, only has a slight advantage over Luke's Observation Haki, which can also foresee the future.
Five minutes later, the seriously injured Katakuri was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, but his eyes were fixed on the fleet that had already set sail, hoping that a miracle would happen and Lukai would not be able to pursue.
And Luke really had no intention of chasing after him. Instead, he looked down at Katakuri lying on the ground.
"Katakuri, aren't you known as the perfect man who never touches the ground with his back? You look a little ugly now." Luke said contemptuously.
"Humiliating the loser after a duel, is this the magnanimity of Red Wind Lukai?" Although Katakuri's body could not move, he was merciless in his words, "If you want to kill me, it's up to you, but if you just want to humiliate me..."
"So what if I humiliate you?" Luke interrupted Katakuri rudely and scolded.
"Besides, killing you would be so boring." After saying this, Lu Kai's eyes turned cold in an instant. He turned to the fleet not far away, and then turned around and was about to leave.
Katakuri's severely injured body suddenly burst out with an unknown force. He rushed forward and hugged Luke's legs tightly, preventing him from moving forward.
Luke tried hard to pull his legs out, but Katakuri refused to let go. Because he was using too much force, Katakuri's muscles became tense and his fingers turned white.
Lukai seemed like a machine without any emotions. He exerted force with his feet and threw Katakuri away.
Katakuri fell heavily to the ground dozens of meters away. His body rolled four or five times due to inertia, but he was still struggling to do something.
After a while, Katakuri finally sat up with the help of his hands, and then he changed his posture to a kneeling position with great difficulty. After tidying up his clothes, Katakuri suddenly knocked his head to Lukai.
