Chapter 650: SFDI - 650
"Requip! Heaven’s Wheel Armor! Blazing Dance of Swords!"
Steel wings spread out behind Erza, and a large number of swords were manipulated by her, shooting towards Katakuri.
However, Katakuri’s body suddenly developed a large number of holes, and traces of white mochi could be seen around the edges of the holes.
All the swords passed through these constantly appearing holes, with not a single one touching Katakuri’s body.
A top executive of the BIG MOM Pirates, a pillar of the Charlotte Family, Katakuri possessed the strength to bear these titles.
And his most noteworthy ability was his Kenbunshoku Haki that could foresee the future. Combined with his Devil Fruit ability, he could manipulate his body to flow and dodge all of his opponent’s attacks, achieving an effect similar to that of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
Erza’s subsequent close-range attacks were also dodged by an exaggerated twist of his body, and he stabbed at Erza with his trident in return.
But Erza had already requipped into her strongest defensive armor, the Adamantine Armor, and the green magic barrier formed by the two shields held together steadily blocked Katakuri’s attack.
Katakuri turned his arm into mochi and wrapped it around Mogura, and after coating the trident’s sharp blade in Busoshoku Haki, the trident began to spin along with Katakuri’s arm, turning into a black drill.
With a low roar, the black drill broke through the magic circle and slammed into the Adamantine Barrier.
A look of seriousness appeared in Katakuri’s eyes, as he had already foreseen the outcome of this attack.
A string of sparks flew out. Although Mogura didn’t break through the Adamantine Barrier’s defense, it did manage to push Erza back a step.
Light enveloped her, and Erza requipped again, donning her fastest armor, the Flight Armor, and wielding dual short swords to attack Katakuri.
But Erza’s attacks were either blocked or dodged by Katakuri’s transformed body.
"Interesting. So, this is the power of Haki in this world?"
Erza stopped her useless attacks and requipped into her most reliable armor, the Heart Kreuz Armor.
This armor didn’t have any special abilities, and even its defense was inferior to her usual knight armor. But by equipping this armor, Erza was also releasing all of her power, making it her strongest form.
Drake had been watching the situation on the entire battlefield. BIG MOM had sent her elites this time, a top-tier lineup.
Whether it was Devil Fruit abilities or Haki, these people’s levels were quite high, allowing everyone to directly experience the power of this world.
Both the bizarre nature of the Devil Fruit abilities, which were no less strange than various rare magics, and the simple yet extremely practical Haki, were eye-opening for everyone.
The price was that everyone was being suppressed. The Devil Fruit abilities were fine, as everyone treated them as magic with special effects, and they had experience dealing with that.
But Haki was giving them a lot of trouble.
Whether it was the Busoshoku Haki that increased attack power or the Kenbunshoku Haki that sensed attacks, everyone was at a disadvantage fighting these opponents for the first time.
Unlike being suppressed by the First Hokage’s raw power in the ninja world, this time they were being suppressed by the mechanics of the abilities.
However, Drake didn’t intervene. On one hand, this was a trial, a part of the training that they had to go through.
As for whether he was worried? Worried about whom? Fairy Tail’s buff in team battles was invincible.
The more dangerous the situation, the more likely it was that everyone would suddenly unleash their full potential, and the Four Emperor Pirates would be overturned in minutes.
Drake raised his hand and batted away several chess soldiers chasing after Happy, then looked up at the sky.
"Finally coming, huh!"
Rolling clouds were coming from the horizon, with flashes of lightning visible within them.
"Mamamama! You little brat, I’ve finally found you!"
Before she even arrived, her voice came first, and the bone-chilling screeching sound made the air tremble.
Katakuri swung his arm, which was covered in Busoshoku Haki, and forced back Erza’s demon blade, looking up at the sky, while also foreseeing the scene that was about to unfold.
"Mama has arrived! But she’s going too far."
As the words left his mouth, the figure in the distance had already moved above them.
What followed was a bone-chilling wave of Haoshoku Haki.
The chess soldiers, who had been created by BIG MOM’s ability, collapsed because of her rage, and then some of the weaker people began to lose consciousness.
Even on the Fairy Tail side, Wendy, Carla, Sherria, and Vinnie were startled, and although they didn’t faint, their faces were pale, as if they had been frightened.
Even those with strong wills like Erza and the others showed surprised expressions.
One of the Four Emperors, the strongest female pirate in the world, BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin, had descended!
BIG MOM herself was an old woman with a severely out-of-shape figure, but when she was standing in mid-air, supported by the thundercloud Homie Zeus, with the fire ball Homie Prometheus floating beside her, and with that terrifying Haoshoku Haki that she was unleashing without restraint due to her rage, she looked like a god.
Drake spread his fiery wings behind him, also flying up to meet her gaze.
BIG MOM grinned menacingly and said, "You little brat who made me lose face, I admire your courage for daring to show your face on the sea. I’ll kill you right now!"
Drake gave up on discussing who was right and wrong with this guy who was stacked with all sorts of unreasonable buffs, and said, "Your words don’t require me to have any courage to show up, but I’m also tired of you, so let’s settle our grudges here!"
"Mamamama! You’re as arrogant as ever, brat. Did I let you off the hook last time, making you think you can contend with me? Then I’ll show you why I’m a Sea Emperor!"
"Napoleon!"
"I’m here, Mama!"
The captain’s hat on BIG MOM’s head flew off, turning into a large sword that landed in her hand.
"Prometheus!"
"Here, Mama!"
The fireball spun around and landed on BIG MOM’s head, turning into fiery hair that danced around her.
"Brat, I’m coming!"
Seeing BIG MOM using her full power, Drake also showed respect for the Sea Emperor.
"Dragon Flame Fighting Gear, Dragon King Martial Body, Nibelungen Ring... Open!"
Flames were released violently, and Drake directly entered full-power mode.
"Tenman Daijizaitenjin!" (Heavenly Great Freely-Acting Deity)
BIG MOM screeched, and a large amount of lightning was released from the thunderclouds she was standing on, enveloping Drake.
Among BIG MOM’s three strongest attack abilities, she knew from last time that fire-based abilities were not only useless against Drake, but would actually replenish his power, so she could only use lightning or swordsmanship.
And with this attack, BIG MOM included everyone from Fairy Tail in the attack range, in addition to Drake.
However...!
Sasuke, controlling Susanoo, swung his sword to force back Daifuku and the Genie, and his eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
The Sharingan spun, Takemikazuchi activated, attracting all the falling lightning and firing it at Daifuku.
How could Daifuku have expected this to happen? Not only was the Genie he summoned scattered by the lightning, but the Busoshoku Haki he used in a hurry was also shattered, but at least he managed to save his life from this attack.
BIG MOM was stunned. Her flames were useless, and now she couldn’t use lightning either. Was she being targeted?!
