Chapter 378: Kumogakure's Support! Katakuri's Absolute Strength!

Ever since the battle with Whitebeard, Ai had never felt such a sense of oppression.

Especially when the big man in front of him raised a fist, he felt like goosebumps all over his body suddenly appeared!

Ai doesn't know Haki, but his years of combat experience and combat awareness tell him that danger is coming!

It was also at this moment that Katakuri's swift and powerful right fist hit Ai.

The sense of oppression and crisis brought about by this punch was stretched to the extreme!

Ai's pupils tightened, and he immediately raised his arms to block him.

There was a very thick metal arm guard on his arm, and he felt that he should be able to block this man's punch.

But the moment Katakuri's fist collided with Ai's arm guard, the expression on Ai's face changed as wonderfully as possible.

He felt that what hit him was not a fist, but a big mountain. Ai's whole body instantly flew through the air and flew into Yunyin Village!

The speed of flying upside down even exceeded the speed of sound, forming a sound barrier cloud and causing a sonic boom.

His body slammed into the buildings of Yunyin Village and destroyed several houses one after another.

Finally, it hit the Raikage Building heavily.

The Raikage Building, which was more than ten stories high, immediately trembled, and large amounts of gravel and bricks continued to fall down.

A group of Kumogakure ninjas in Kumogakure Village also noticed this battle.

A large number of Kumogakure ninjas began to run towards the Kumogakure gate.

Some ninjas quickly took a look and wanted to know what it was, and suddenly attacked the Raikage Building.

As a result, these Kumogakure village ninjas watched helplessly as the somewhat embarrassed Fourth Raikage crawled out of the rubble.

This made a group of them stunned, no one expected that it was the Raikage!

"Lord Raikage, what are you?!"

An ANBU ninja wearing a mask hurriedly stepped forward to help Ai.

As a result, Ai shook his hand angrily, interrupting his support.

Ai Ding looked at the tall figure far ahead with a vigilant gaze. His only remaining arm was trembling slightly, and the arm guard on his arm had long been shattered.

If it weren't for the protection of this steel armguard, he felt that one of his hands might have been disabled by the pirates!

Ai was very unbelievable.

He really couldn't imagine why the Whitebeard Pirates were so powerful? !

Whitebeard is so strong that he can barely make sense.

But the big man who appeared out of nowhere in front of him was actually only slightly weaker than Whitebeard in terms of strength!

Even from a distance, Keai could still clearly see the expressionless look on the half of Katakuri's face, as if he had never taken him seriously.

Unfounded anger and irritability made Ai furious.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn pirates, don't underestimate the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village! Today, it's up to me, the Fourth Raikage Ai, to rectify the name of the ninjas in the ninja world!"

Ai's speed increased to an incredible speed.

A flash of lightning flashed by, and he rushed to Katakuri in the blink of an eye.

"Ninjutsu·Thunder Tornado Steel Explosion Whirlwind Kick!!!"

Ai launched a swift roundhouse kick, hitting Katakuri in the throat.

However, a hole appeared in Katakuri's neck in advance.

Let Ai's feet pass through.

"It's this move again!" Ai's eyes narrowed. He had been prepared and snorted coldly: "I don't believe that you, a pirate with such a weird body, are really not afraid of all attacks!"

Taking advantage of this close moment, Ai quickly formed seals with one hand.

As the Fourth Raikage, he is indeed the best at Thunder Release Ninjutsu, but that does not mean that he is not good at other Thunder Release Ninjutsu.

"Thunder Escape: The Beast of Pseudo Darkness!!!" Ai opened his mouth and roared, and the Thunder Escape Chakra transformed into five thunder beasts in the form of wolves, biting at five different parts of Katakuri's body.

Katakuri took a few steps back. He was ten or twenty meters away from his ridiculous height.

Five thunder beasts in the form of wolves jumped into the air and collided with each other, causing a fierce explosion.

A large amount of thunder and lightning spread wildly on the ground, blasting a big hole in the ground.

Seeing that Katakuri dodged the attack, Ai became even more convinced that the strange body of the pirate in front of him was not completely immune to any attack.

It was as if the opponent knew in advance which part he was going to attack, and took the initiative to control which way his body spread out.

And all he has to do is cover the opponent's entire body with his attack...

Then this big pirate is basically unavoidable!

"You are quite powerful. You were able to analyze the characteristics of my fruit ability at once." Katakuri could see what Ai was thinking at a glance, but his eyes remained unchanged: "It's a pity, you know It’s no use either.”

Katakuri even took the initiative to introduce his ability information to Ai: "My ability is to turn my body into rice cakes, I can also make rice cakes out of thin air, and I can even affect surrounding objects and turn them into rice cakes."

Katakuri finally moved his wrists and neck, and continued: "You who can see through my abilities are obviously not an ordinary person, so I'll be a little more serious and play with you!"

The veins on Ai's forehead trembled because he felt that this guy was talking too pretentiously.

Every word that comes out of his mouth means looking down on him, the Raikage!

Ai didn't know whether Katakuri really thought so.

Anyway, he felt that this pirate's tone was too arrogant!

"My name is 'Ai'. Pirate, what's your name?" Ai suppressed the anger in his heart and his face sank.

He wanted to know what this pirate's name was.

"Me? Katakuri." Katakuri obviously answered all questions. His tone was very calm, but there was no emotion: "Charlotte Katakuri."

Charlotte Katakuri?

What a strange name!

"Katakuri..." Ai took a deep breath and stared at the man in front of him: "You are the second person in the Whitebeard Pirates besides Whitebeard who is worthy of me fighting you with all my strength!"

After the words fell, Ai suddenly let out a roar, the chakra in his body was madly injected into every cell in his body, and the lightning flashing on the surface of his skin became more conspicuous and bright.

The blue chakra visible to the naked eye enveloped his entire body.

Strands of hair are constantly flying.

The true aura of being the Fourth Raikage was finally fully revealed at this moment.

This is also Ai's most powerful state.

The legendary "Strongest Thunder Escape Armor"!

"Huh?" Katakuri made a slightly surprised voice. His Haki clearly felt that the aura of the Fourth Raikage in front of him was becoming more dangerous than before.

The expressionless face finally showed some fluctuations.

Katakuri's eyes were a little surprised, and his ferocious mouth hidden under the scarf suddenly revealed a smile.

"It's interesting. I respect your determination. In that case..."

Under Ai's astonished gaze, Katakuri slowly regained his expressionless expression and continued: "I have decided not to fight you with Haki Haki, nor will I dodge every attack. In this way, I feel that this The fight will be fairer."

Ai didn't know what seeing and hearing Haki meant, but he could tell that the pirate in front of him wanted to make fun of him!

Are you kidding me?

I used my strongest form and was ready for a life-and-death battle with this pirate, but the other party wanted to let him go?

However, the other party's tone was very serious, as if he really wanted to have a fair fight with him.

For Ai, who has a violent personality, this simply adds a layer of blood rage buff to him out of thin air.

He was absolutely furious.

"Pirate! Stop looking down on people!!!"

Ai instantly became furious and rushed towards Katakuri, leaping high and punching Katakuri with his thunder-surging fist.

"Lei Dou Ninja encounters the need to spit out the sword!!!"

This thunderous punch was like a sharp sword hitting Katakuri's head.

You don't need to see and hear Haki to predict the future. Just a pair of naked eyes cannot capture the astonishing speed of this fourth generation Raikage.

But Katakuri's many years of combat experience are not a vegetarian.

The few previous fights made Katakuri understand that this Raikage was more accustomed to attacking people's chest and upper body parts.

Katakuri instantly blocked his arms in front of him, forming a cross. His muscular forearms were like a strong shield, covered with a layer of dark armed domineering energy.

What a coincidence, Ai's thunderous punch hit the center of Katakuri's arms folded!

boom! ! !

The collision of flesh and flesh actually produced a roar that was no less than the explosion of a detonating talisman.

Katakuri's body was slightly tilted back at an angle of less than ten degrees, his legs were tightly attached to the ground, and he was not knocked back even a step.

An eye exposed behind the arms flashed with a cold light: "Your speed is enough, but your strength is not enough."

Katakuri tried to reach out and grab Ai with almost lightning speed.

Ai was so frightened that the hair on his hair stood on end, and he quickly dodged back.

Katakuri's movement changed, and his movement of trying to catch Ai turned into a movement of punching forward.

His arms are also wrapped with weapons, and his punch is amazingly powerful!

"Hakubo rice cake!"

Katakuri's punch speed was also astonishingly fast, and Ai, who felt a sense of crisis, hurriedly dodged back again.

Boom, boom, boom! ! !

When Katakuri's punch hit the ground below, the entire mountain where Yunyin Village was located shook!

This is a move that can swell the hands of Luffy in his fourth gear snake form!

The ferocious cracks in the ground spread toward Yunyin Village.

Houses throughout the village were shaken by an earthquake.

"This guy named Katakuri..." Ai turned around and forgot to take a look at the village. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Isn't he a little too powerful to be scary?!"

It's hard for Ai to imagine that if he hadn't dodged the blow just now, would he have been punched and paralyzed? !

Even he is very confident in his "strongest thunder escape armor".

But facing the power of this punch, Ai suddenly felt a little less confident.

Just when Ai was about to make any move, his expression suddenly changed and he lowered his head to look down.

I saw that the ground under my feet had become very strange and very soft at some point.

It was so soft that he felt like he was stepping on clouds.

And he found that he couldn't pull his foot out!

Not only did the ground become very soft, it also became very sticky!

He suddenly remembered the strange ability information Katakuri had revealed to him before.

"The ground... turned into rice cakes!??"

Ai was shocked. What kind of weird ninjutsu is this?

Is it a blood inheritance limit?

The blood of rice cake continues to the limit! ?

How weird!

"Nutuan tsunami!"

Katakuri gently touched the ground beneath his feet with one hand and uttered a sentence without expression.

The ground that turned into white rice cakes under my feet suddenly became undulating.

A large pile of sticky rice cakes lifted up and turned into a 100-meter-tall tsunami of rice cakes, rushing toward the Fourth Raikage!

"not good!"

Ai's pupils shrank like pinholes.

He could still dodge Katakuri's punches and kicks, but if he tried to dodge this attack, the village behind him would be in danger!

Ai gritted her teeth.

The muscles all over his body were tensing up, veins were rising on his skin, and the chakra fluctuations in his body were even stronger.

"Yirei Explodes Chiyomai!!!"

Ai roared and roared, raising his lightning-blasting arm and charging towards Rice Cake Tsunami.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

At this moment, figures one after another came to support from Yunyin Village behind.

"Raikage-sama, we are here to help you!!!"

These people are clearly ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village, and every one of them is at the Jonin level.

Because they can all see that the battle outside the village is not something that ninjas below jounin are qualified to participate in.

One after another, the Kumogakure Murakunin formed seals at the same time.

"Thunder Escape·Thunder Spear Technique!!!"

The dazzling lightning almost illuminated the entire village. The thunder and lightning collided with the rice cake tsunami. The astonishing rice cake tsunami was penetrated by the thunder.

The Fourth Raikage and a dozen Kumogakure Murakami jonins took action together, and finally blocked the attack that awakened Katakuri's fruit power!

"Tsk, I admire you so much."

Katakuri retracted the resolute respect he had for Ai before. Even though there were a bunch of Kumogakure ninjas standing in front of him, his expression remained unchanged.

Katakuri said expressionlessly: "I thought you were the kind of man who would fight one-on-one even if he risked his life, even if he knew he was no match at all."

"But now it seems... there is still a big gap between you ninjas and the heroes on the sea."

…

the other side.

The battle between Bista and Kirabi was also intervened by Kumogakure Jōnin. When Bista and Kirabi were rapidly fighting at close range, ten Kumogakure Jōnin quickly attacked from different directions.

Fortunately, Bista's perception of hegemonic power is not too weak.

After quickly retreating to avoid the surprise attack of this group of ninjas...

Bista held the knife in his right hand and put the knife on his shoulder with his left hand. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Ha, there are more ninjas!"

The smile on his face gradually turned ferocious and bloodthirsty.

The murderous intention of the great swordsman slowly spread, and the strong murderous intention visible to the naked eye caused ripples in the air!

"If that's the case, then I won't restrain my murderous intent!"

"Ninjas!!!"

…
