Chapter 486 Mysterious Man
Katakuri uses the Future Foresight to see Vic's moves and trajectory, but pseudo-elementization alone is not enough. He cannot pseudo-elementize his entire body in the air. After all, it is not a real natural system, and that would be very passive.
Katakuri also used Armament Haki to defend himself, but even so, he still had many wounds on his body. When he used Armament Haki to defend himself, he was still injured inside by Victor's stronger Ryuo.
It can be said that Katakuri is now injured both inside and outside, and is already struggling to hold on. As time goes on, coupled with so many injuries, it will definitely affect his condition and his observation Haki, and he will eventually be defeated.
He didn't expect that Vic didn't use his full strength against him just now. After mastering the ability to foresee the future, he thought he could give it a try. But now it seems that he was fooled. Katakuri's expression was a little ferocious, and he felt extremely unwilling in his heart!
But it was useless no matter how unwilling he was. It was all because of the different camps and the grudges that had been buried before. Even if Vic admired him as a real man, it was useless. Vic had already decided to kill him, so his attacks were continuous and without any delay!
Smoothie had already flown back using the Moon Step, but given the current state of the battle between the two, no, given Vic's unilateral strong attack, she couldn't get involved at all. If Vic was distracted and just greeted her, she wouldn't be able to bear it, so she didn't take any action from the side, but the worry in her heart was beyond words!
Vic could already see that Katakuri was on the verge of collapse. His fruit ability was no longer as smooth as before. His observation Haki that allowed him to foresee the future was also affected by his tired body and mind. He could no longer foresee the future 100%, and the wounds on his body became bigger and more numerous.
Just as Vic was about to end the battle with a gust of wind, something unexpected happened.
Vic's invisible wind slash was blocked in front of Katakuri by an invisible force, and the slash was directly shattered and turned into a breeze and dissipated.
Katakuri's future-foresight Haki cannot detect such a slash. Only when the slash hits the target can he use his future-foresight to judge the slash and its landing point through the target's wound.
But we only know where the landing point is. As for the shape, size and trajectory of the slash, we cannot capture it. Most of the wounds on Katakuri's body were caused by the wind slash.
Because such a move would prolong his reaction time and prevent him from pseudo-elementalizing in time to avoid damage, this slash did not work and was blocked by some force. This was something that Vic was very puzzled about!
He knew that this was not the power used by Katakuri and Smoothie. If they still had this power, they would have used it long ago, not at the critical moment of life and death.
The trump cards that you use when you are about to die are basically disposable. What can you do after using them? You will still be at the mercy of others and it cannot change the outcome at all. If they are not disposable, you should have used them long ago. Would you still leave yourself covered in bruises?
Just as Vic was wondering what this power was, a sense of crisis arose in his heart and he disappeared from the spot in an instant. The place where Vic had just stopped was cut by a huge black sword and flew to the horizon.
Even Vic didn't dare to take this kind of attack lightly. This attack was as strong as his own full-strength attack and could hurt him.
However, his observation Haki was always open, and there was no other human presence nearby except the people on the pirate ship and warship. It was not these people who did it, and Smoothie next to him did not have the ability to do so.
Just as Vic immersed his mind in the observation Haki to carefully sense the unknown enemy, he looked in a certain direction as if he had sensed something!
There was a figure floating in the air, approaching here quickly as if teleporting. The person was covered in a black robe, and a black hood covered his head and face, so his face could not be seen clearly. In just a moment, he came from a distance to the few people.
Vic's forehead was covered with cold sweat as he looked at this person. This man in black robe gave him a terrifying feeling. Although he looked like an ordinary person covered in black robe, could an ordinary person fly in the air? Standing in the air without moving his feet? Even Vic's advanced moon step couldn't do that!
Can an ordinary person become invisible in Vic's observation Haki? In Vic's observation Haki, the place where the black-robed man stood was empty, without anyone or anything at all!
That was less than 20 meters away from Vic! Even if Vic had consumed some of his observation Haki in the previous battle, he shouldn't be unable to sense something at such a close distance, right?
His body recovered its domineering power for a few seconds, which was enough for him to perceive, but now he could only see with his naked eyes. His observation Haki was completely useless against the black-robed man in front of him. This was why Victor's forehead was sweating. This man gave him a much greater pressure than Kaido had given him at the beginning, as if he had met a natural enemy!
Vic was on guard as if he had met his lifelong enemy, but Katakuri and Smoothie did not feel the extreme danger. One was not strong enough to feel it, and the other was chopped all over by Vic and was in a state of confusion.
In addition, the man in black robe came to help them, so he had no perception of this aspect. He was only wondering in his heart why the man in black robe came to save them?
The man who came was about two meters tall and was not the strong man Katakuri knew. Although the hood could not completely cover the man's face, the face of the man in black robe attracted all the light like a black hole. It was pitch black there and he could not see his face, so he could not recognize who it was.
He suspected that it was his mother who invited him. Probably only a strong person like his mother could invite such a strong person. He even suspected that the man in black robe was one of his mother's old lovers.
But from just now until now he had no time to call his mother for help, and Smoothie and Cracker didn't have such an opportunity either. Could it be that those Homies had called him?
But would Xuanlong just ignore it? Did he think that no one would be able to come to support him in such a short time, just like himself?
Even if Homiz asked for help, who could come to rescue him in a short time? Could it be that the man in black robe was near this sea area?
Katakuri thought a lot, but still couldn't figure it out. However, he still felt relieved. If it weren't for the invisible force that blocked the invisible slash, he would have been split in two.
Vic looked at the feet of the man in black robe with a serious expression, but they did not move. This mysterious man did not need to step on the air to float, this was true floating in the air!
This reminded Vic of the scenes he saw when he was practicing Moon Steps and flying to the Red Earth Continent. In that illusory picture, there were seven humans in different clothes, all of whom were able to fly in the air!
That place is ten thousand meters high and the air is thin. That kind of flight cannot be the effect of the fruit ability. There can't be seven identical devil fruits. Devil fruits are all unique!
