Chapter 145: Battle! Katakuri
As if sensing Katakuri's surging fighting power, Yamato and others who had been resting in the living area behind the restaurant ran out one after another.
Noticing their concerned looks, Aoun thought for a while and then said:

"This is not a place for fighting. If you want to fight, let's find another place."
Katakuri looked at the various facilities in the restaurant, thought for a while and then said:
"follow me."
After saying this, he quickly walked out of the restaurant with Garrett.
He has been wandering the waters around Puke these days in search of Laura, so he naturally knows that he can fight Ornn there without worrying about being disturbed.
Noticing the concerned eyes of Yamato and others, Aoun chuckled at them and said:
"Don't worry, it's just a discussion."
About half an hour later, the pirate ships from both sides docked on a small desert island near Puke.
"How is it here?" Katakuri turned back and asked Ornn, who had just stepped off the Furnace.
"Just right."
Ornn said, while moving his body, he untied Mjolnir and Splash from behind.
No more words were needed. The two of them walked to the center of the deserted island and stood in a tacit understanding. Garrett, Yamato and others separated on both sides in a tacit understanding, silently cheering for the two sides.
Phew~
A breeze blew in the air at some point, and this breeze was like a bell ringing to start the battle.
Almost as soon as the breeze picked up, the two figures disappeared from the place at the same time.
The speed was so fast that Bellamy, who was at the back of the team, was dumbfounded. Even if he used his current trick "Pogo Man" to the maximum, it would be impossible for him to reach such a speed.
Dang~
The harsh sound of gold and iron sounded unexpectedly.
In this first tentative confrontation, neither of them chose to dodge, but had a standard head-on confrontation.
After a confrontation, the two of them took half a step back as agreed. When they looked up again, there was obvious shock in their eyes - the other party was so strong.
Whoosh~
The figures of the two men disappeared from the spot again, followed closely by the sounds of clanging weapons clashing.
In just a few breaths, the two had already fought for hundreds of rounds, and everyone watching on the sidelines was dazzled.
clang!
After another powerful collision, Orn retreated half a step, while Katakuri retreated a full step.
Although it was only a slight advantage, the fact that he was able to gain the upper hand in a wrestling match with Katakuri who was at his peak before entering the human-animal form shows Ornn's strong physical fitness developed through long-term blacksmithing and steel stacking.
"The warm-up is over. Next, get ready and don't die."
After regaining his balance, Katakuri uttered these words coldly, and then once again controlled the three-pronged gun "Earth Dragon" to stab Ornn.
Aoun did not dare to neglect and watched Katakuri's movements closely. The droplets on his left hand were raised high to block Katakuri's stab.
But he never thought that at the moment when the droplets were about to fall in his hand, Katakuri's right hand holding the "earth dragon" suddenly turned into a softened rice cake. The rice cake's arm suddenly lengthened, and while avoiding the droplets, it flew in the air. Drawing a semicircle, Aoun thrust again from the right waist position.
Aoun's Haki of Sensei gave a crazy warning at this moment. Noticing Sensei's warning, Aoun subconsciously turned sideways, and at the same time tried to knock away the earth dragon with Mjolnir held in his right hand.
clang!
Bang!
Two voices sounded almost at the same time. The former was when Ornn's Mjolnir successfully stopped the earth dragon, and the latter was when Katakuri's free left fist hit Ornn firmly on the chest.
The moment he was hit by the fist, Ornn flew backwards like a kite with its string broken.
Before Ornn could hit the ground, Katakuri rushed over like a meteor, and the earth dragon once again stabbed Ornn's flying body.
It’s really tricky!
After saying this in his heart, Aoun used the moon step to forcefully change direction in the air and jumped to a higher altitude.
Buzz!
Suppressing the discomfort in his chest, the armed haki instantly covered the droplets and hit Katakuri hard.
It would have been impossible for anyone else to avoid Aoun's sudden action, but Katakuri was able to do just that. A faint red light flashed in his eyes, and he once again relied on Nuo The glutinous fruit turned into a soft glutinous ball.
The moment Nuotuan avoided the droplets, the earth dragon in Katakuri's hand was spinning and stabbing Ornn again.
Nuo Tuan stabs!
Like Luffy's rubber boomerang, the three-pronged gun earth dragon rotates at high speed with Katakuri's arm. The sharp blade is as sharp as a meat grinder. If Orn relaxes even a little bit, he will be rotated by it. The gun blade was pureed.
burst!
Facing this whirling earth dragon, it was almost impossible to hold up Mjolnir with a backhand to resist it.
Therefore, at this critical moment, Ornn simply gave up on defense, and instead used all his strength to activate the droplets' unique explosive properties.
The moment the droplets came into contact with the ground, there was a violent explosion. The red light in Katakuri's eyes flashed again, and he quickly judged that even if he insisted on exchanging injuries with Ornn or above, he would be blown away by the violent impact.
So he chose to withdraw one step ahead of time, causing Ornn's attack to fail again.
Phew~
After forcing Katakuri to retreat, Ornn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, he forced this guy to retreat. If he didn't fight with him, he would never imagine how difficult it would be to have the "foresee the future" observation Haki.
Ornn felt uncomfortable with the feeling that all his actions were seen through.
Since escaping from Jin's hands, Ornn has never fought such a difficult fight.
When facing Qingjiao and Dongli before, even if he was not as strong as the other party, he could at least hit the other party a few times and get some real feedback.
But facing Katakuri was different. The "foresee the future" observation Haki could directly see through all of Ornn's offensive intentions, not only making all his attacks fail, but also threatening Ornn's life in turn.
Such a confrontation is not only easy to dampen a person's fighting spirit, but also more likely to make mistakes in a hurry.
After all, people are not machines. If they keep their nerves tense at a high intensity, they will reveal flaws sooner or later.
No, I can't let Katakuri control the rhythm of the attack like now, otherwise I will definitely lose in the end.
After this thought came to his mind, Orn no longer hesitated and immediately activated his own fruit ability. His whole body expanded rapidly. In just a short while, he turned into a giant goat man with a height of eight meters.
"It was so difficult to fight me in human form, and now you have become bigger. Do you really think this is the right decision?"
Katakuri looked at the huge Orn from a distance, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was dissatisfied or a reminder.
"Whether it is the right decision, you will know if you try it!"
While speaking, Orn put down Feimo and Mjolnir, put his hands together and took a deep breath.
With this action, his originally strong and sturdy body suddenly became a thin and tall posture. In the case of height inconvenience, the width was almost shortened by half.
Six-style secret. Paper painting martial arts!
After thanking the World Government for sending Lucci to test his strength again, Ornn picked up Mjolnir and Feimo again, and raised his chin to Katakuri in the distance:
"Let's start, the third round."
Katakuri did not respond, but silently raised his left hand covered with Armament Haki. Under the effect of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, the right arm quickly turned into the shape of a Gatling gun, and countless sticky rice bullets covered with Armament Haki were poured out as if they were free.
Seeing this in the distance, Peyton subconsciously reached out and touched his mechanical arm, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
What a convenient ability...
Ornn looked at the dense barrage pouring down on him, and immediately raised Mjolnir and knocked heavily on the ground under his feet.
Volcanic chasm!
A huge lava column larger than a rockery rose from the ground, easily blocking all the bullets.
Next...a fierce charge!
Ornn stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and his huge horns hit the lava column.
Boom!
The lava hill exploded under the impact of the horns, and the magma splashed, causing a terrifying explosion and leaving a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters.
Katakuri had foreseen this scene with his observation Haki, but he didn't expect that the Fiery Charge would cause such a terrifying impact when it hit the obstacle.
Although he had raised his arms covered with Armament Haki in front of him, his figure still flew up uncontrollably.
And Ornn seized this momentary opportunity, and the flying foam in his hand clearly ignited the orange light of the explosion, and swung an arc-shaped "Flying Slash" towards Katakuri in the distance.
Failure to kill!
The red light in Katakuri's eyes was bright, and he had foreseen the tricky part of this move.
He threw away the earth dragon in his hand while in the air, clenched his fists and only retracted his fists to about the position of his upper arms.
In this compression, the pair of rice cake fists covered with armed color domineering turned into the same orange-red color visibly.
Roasted rice cake!
The two fists shot out at the moment before Ornn's hair was about to be broken.
Boom!
The result of the collision between the rice cake fists and the orange slash was a violent explosion!
The impact was more terrifying than the previous impact when the volcanic rift was knocked down.
The visible shock wave swept in all directions, lifting all the smoke and sand on the ground.
Horse Magic Blade!
Butter Wall!
In order to prevent being severely injured by this terrifying impact, Yamato and Garrett on the other side tacitly used their abilities.
The ice wall and the butter wall rose almost at the same time, blocking the terrifying impact in front of the two waves of people.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the ice wall and the butter wall also melted together.
The two sides looked at the field tacitly, and saw that the two had been fighting again.
Affected by the explosion just now, both of them were slightly injured.
But these minor injuries obviously did not make them lose their fighting power. On the contrary, both of them were more excited because of this confrontation.
Yanagi!
Katakuri took the lead, and his body split into hundreds of fists in the air. What was even more incredible was that these hundreds of fists were all covered with armed color domineering.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
It seemed that a black rain fell in the air.
Mochi's fists hit Ornn like raindrops.
Seeing this, not to mention Rea and others, even Yamato's eyes were wide open in surprise.
Although she has mastered the King's Haki entanglement that even Katakuri has never mastered, she is still far behind him in the practice of Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Even Yamato is like this, let alone Orn who has just mastered the two-color Haki for less than half a year.
Facing the black rain, Orn mobilized his own Observation Haki to the greatest extent, and his arms waved in the air to create afterimages.
But two fists can't beat a hundred hands after all. It only lasted for less than three seconds before Katakuri's rice cake fist broke through Orn's defense.
Once the defense line collapses, it will soon be riddled with holes.
Since being hit by the first punch, more and more fists have landed on Orn. Although he is a thick-skinned animal type, although he has Armament Haki to protect his body, and although he has anti-armor to counter-injure, Orn still can't help but grin from being hit by the fists in the sky.
After realizing that he couldn't solve this attack with his Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Ornn finally stopped trying to show off his strength. He covered his whole body with lava to inflict damage to Katakuri and used all his strength to mobilize Mjolnir.
100 million volts. Thunder!
Crack!
A bolt of lightning came crashing down on Katakuri without warning.
Although there was no sign, Katakuri had foreseen this attack with his Observation Haki. He was about to calmly withdraw his attack and dodge away, but suddenly felt a burst of pain in his body - it was the damage-reversal effect of the Thorn Armor and the burns of the lava on his body that played a role.
The effect of the anti-armor slightly affected his body's movement, and this millisecond error meant that Katakuri was doomed to be unable to dodge this lightning.
Helplessly, he could only mobilize his Armament Haki to protect his body and resist the lightning strike with his flesh.
Even as powerful as Katakuri, he couldn't help but frown because of the pain after enduring the thunder.
Looking at Ornn who had just spit out the blood in his mouth in the distance, Katakuri couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"What exactly is your ability? Why can you be like... why can you control magma and thunder at the same time?"
Katakuri wanted to ask why he could be like his mother, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that his mother was much stronger than Ornn, so he changed the way of asking.
Ornn naturally couldn't tell the other party his biggest secret, so he just smiled mysteriously and said:
"If I tell you, there will be no surprise."
Katakuri was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, but he didn't intend to dig deep. In the end, he just snorted coldly and picked up his earth dragon from the ground:
"Your strength is indeed good. Five hundred kilograms of wine iron ore. I will send someone to collect it after I return to Totland."
"Don't fight anymore?" Ornn asked this question with some surprise.
Katakuri knocked the ground with his earth dragon and said coldly:
"We can't hold on here any longer."
After saying this, he didn't look at Orn's reaction, but turned around and left coolly:
"Let's go, Garette, we should go back."
Garette looked at Katakuri's back, then at Orn, her face full of hesitation.
After struggling for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to take out a Den Den Mushi from her arms and handed it to Orn:
"If you find my sister, call this Den Den Mushi, I will notify Brother Katakuri as soon as possible."
After saying this, she took a deep look at Orn for the last time, and followed Katakuri to board the standard dessert ship of Totland...
