Chapter 483 Backstab
Vic's Observation Haki had already foreseen this scene, and he instantly covered the parts that were about to be stabbed with his Armament Haki. There was a ding sound, which was caused by the collision between the Armament Haki, and Vic blocked the spikes.
But the huge force acted on Vic, and he slid several meters away on the deck. The sword that Smoothie was slashing at his back changed its trajectory and went upwards, passing over Vic's head and slashing towards Katakuri again.
Katakuri's waist was cut in half, but there was no bleeding. Katakuri's observation Haki had turned his waist into glutinous rice paste in advance, but Smoothie could still see beads of sweat on his brother's forehead. Obviously, this sword was very dangerous, and his brother who had never been defeated almost got hit. Smoothie felt deeply guilty for his own failure.
"puff"
At this moment, a slight sound was heard. Vic looked down at the half sword blade sticking out from his chest, and he found that he had been stabbed in the chest by a sword!
His armament color faded after being hit by the spikes just now. Katakuri and Smoothie were within his sight. The other pirate minions and Homies soldiers could not participate in this level of battle at all and had already hidden aside.
Then the only one who could stab him was Cracker who was rescued by Katakuri before. It happened that the place where Vic retreated was Cracker lying on the deck. Vic was pierced in the chest by Cracker's sword. He looked at the sword blade exposed in front of his chest and figured it out. Cracker woke up at some point and had been lurking there, waiting for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow!
"Hahaha! I finally got the chance I've been waiting for. Let's see whether you live or not this time!"
Cracker had returned to his original appearance, his previous biscuit armor having fallen apart after he was electrocuted by Vic, and was now standing up from the deck with the hilt of his sword in his hand, a smug smile on his face.
He didn't dare to move when he just woke up. He was knocked unconscious without even seeing the enemy. You can imagine how strong the enemy is. He chose to continue pretending to be unconscious and use his observation Haki to sense the situation around him. When he sensed that Katakuri and Smoothie were being beaten, he dared not wake up anymore. Until just now, when the man retreated to his side, he sensed a glimmer of opportunity and then he mustered up the courage to stab the figure in front of him with a sword.
Cracker looked at his brother and sister proudly again, wanting to see expressions of admiration on their faces, but he didn't get what he wanted. He only saw the two of them looking at him as if he was a fool.
What's going on? I'm using my sword barrel to pierce this navy, why are you guys looking like this? This shouldn't be happening.
Cracker didn't know that the person he stabbed was Wick, and thought it was a strong man from the Marine Headquarters. He had been unconscious before, and after waking up he used his observation Haki to sense the surroundings. At that time, Wick did not use the ability of the Thunder Fruit in battle.
Cracker's observation Haki was not as good as Vic's in seeing the specific scene. He could only sense the breath. Therefore, he didn't know that he had stabbed a natural ability user. He was still showing off to his family complacently. He didn't use the armament Haki at all in this sword. The blade extending from Vic's chest was still as silvery and bright as ever, without a trace of blood.
"Numb?"
Smoothie couldn't help but ask when she saw this scene. She hadn't touched Vic with her sword just now, and was a little curious about the feeling of being stabbed by the elemental form of the Thunder Fruit.
"Mom? Where is she?"
Cracker was a little confused, thinking that his mother had come from the new world to save them. He turned around and looked around but saw nothing.
"Oh my god! It's so numb! So hot!..."
Just as Cracker was looking around, the hand holding the sword felt numb, and then he felt the temperature of the hilt of the sword was rising rapidly.
He looked down and found that the entire sword was turning redder and redder. Just when he was wondering whether he should let go of this famous sword, he smelled the aroma of barbecue and saw red liquid dripping from the sword.
"Idiot! Let go, Cracker!"
Katakuri saw that the tip of the sword exposed on Vic's chest had completely melted into liquid and was dripping onto the deck, but his silly brother was still holding the hilt of the sword tightly, so he had to speak up and remind him!
Didn't you smell the aroma of the barbecue? Didn't your hands feel hot? Or were they numb and you couldn't feel it anymore?
"Ah! Hot, hot, hot, hot! So hot! Phew!"
After hearing Katakuri's reminder, Cracker finally let go, but his palm had been burned and smoke was still coming out of it. He quickly retracted his hand and put it to his mouth to blow away.
In fact, this is not the first time he has been scalded. His brother Owen is a user of the Heat-Heat Fruit. He has also suffered at the hands of his brother. Now he is relatively immune to temperature. Although his palms were burned, he did not completely lose his combat effectiveness.
Vic didn't give Cracker a second chance to launch a sneak attack, nor did he look back. Instead, several zigzag arcs of electricity shot out quickly from all over his back, wrapping Cracker in them.
Less than a moment after waking up, Cracker fell down again. His body was charred and smoking, with a lightning mark left on his neck. Cracker would probably have to live with this lightning mark for the rest of his life. Of course, it was not certain whether Vic would give him a chance to go back alive.
Looking at his younger brother who just stood up and lay down again, Katakuri was in mixed mood. He thought that there was still some hope if the three of them joined forces to fight Xuanlong, but this younger brother seemed to be here to make fun of him, and his sister's sword kept attacking him. How could he fight?
He really felt that he had a hard time. How could this mission have provoked such a being? Everything was heading in the worst direction.
Katakuri attacked Vic again, but he did not use the ability of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit again. He knew that in the eyes of an opponent of this level, the ability of the fruit was basically ineffective. He wrapped the Armament Haki around the Earth Dragon and rushed towards Vic, ready for close combat.
After Smoothie restored her enlarged body to its original shape, she followed closely with a sword in hand. Her enlarged body did not play a big role on the boat. She was even more passive in front of Xuanlong. She did not dare to move or use force easily, for fear of capsizing the boat. So when she saw Katakuri choose to get close, she was prepared to do so as well.
Two men besieged Vic, one holding a sword and the other holding a trident, both of them were wrapped in armed color domineering. Although Vic's body could be elementalized, he could not resist head-on. Both of them could become generals in the future, and their physical domineering would not be weak, so Vic would not be careless.
Katakuri's slashing attack was very powerful. After Vic blocked it with his sword, he retreated several meters away. Then Smoothie took over and slashed Vic with his sword again, which was also very powerful. Vic directly smashed the side of the ship and flew out of the pirate ship.
