Dozens of glutinous balls extended from Katakuri's body, tightly wrapping around his brothers and sisters, and then he immediately retreated, out of Hashirama's attack range.
In the next moment, the lush dense forest covered the place where they were standing. The range of the tree boundary almost covered all the enemy troops in this direction. The neatly arranged chess soldiers were squeezed into pieces by the branches, and the biscuit soldiers were crushed by the tree trunks. Break into crumbled cookies.
In less than a minute, the tens of thousands of Big Mom pirates on the glacier were defeated by Hashirama's tree world.
Although most of this army was created by BigMom consuming the lifespan of the people and using the ability of the soul fruit, the number is real!
It can also be seen from this that nature-type ability users are extremely suitable for wars with large numbers of people because of the horror of large-scale attacks. Therefore, the Navy Headquarters has a relatively large number of top-level nature-type ability users.
The shaking of the glacier finally stopped. Katakuri and his rescued brothers and sisters looked up at the forest that suddenly appeared. This forest was like the huge mouth of a wild beast, ready to swallow them up at any time, making them afraid to pass through the interior of the forest.
"Natural... Sensen fruit..."
According to the BigMom Pirates' intelligence network, they had already known that the Dawn Pirates had killed Aramaki and taken away his Devil Fruit ability. They did not expect that the new owner of the Mori Fruit would be so powerful and wiped out ten of their own in a matter of minutes. one of the troops.
Tsunade said with emotion: "Grandpa's Wood Release is still so powerful."
Hashirama smiled and reminded: "Gang, you have to be careful, there are a few strong guys among the enemies."
"I understand." Tsunade was quite honest in front of her grandfather and nodded in agreement.
Katakuri turned his eyes and looked at Hashirama standing on the branch, and said to his brothers and sisters around him: "I will hold him back, and you go and deal with the other members of the Dawn Pirates as soon as possible."
The children of the Charlotte family were stunned. Katakuri was talking about delaying, not dealing with. m.
A tall man with a long beard and a cookie armor outside said: "Brother Katakuri, let me help!"
"No, the range of his attack is too large, you can't dodge it." Katakuri refused. His body can turn into glutinous rice to avoid Hashirama's attacks, prolonging the fight as much as possible and delaying it. .
"He controls the trees. My ability can restrain him. Katakuri, let me stay!" Owen said, clenching his fists, which glowed red due to the heat.
"……must be careful."
"Grandpa, they dispersed." Tsunade said suddenly.
"Well, I saw it." Hashirama looked directly into Katakuri's eyes and said, "Although a one-on-one duel is fair,... this is war."
Hashirama clasped his hands together, surging chakra was injected into the tree trunks, and the whole forest suddenly came to life!
"Don't think about it!" Katakuri's whole body turned into glutinous rice, rolled into a glutinous rice ball and rolled at high speed, rushing towards the pillars on the tree.
Countless sharp branches poked at the high-speed rolling glutinous rice balls. Katakuri saw the future, avoided every branch that blocked him with incomparable precision, and rolled towards Hashirama in the shortest distance.
The high-speed rotating glutinous rice balls left a clear rut on the tree trunk, and rushed to the front of Hashirama in a few breaths. The glutinous rice balls quickly condensed into the appearance of Katakuri. He raised his right arm and stretched it. , expanded into a rice cake with spikes, and slammed towards Hashirama.
"Bang" Hashirama, who couldn't dodge, was trapped in Katakuri's right arm.
"Ahhhhh——!" Katakuri mobilized all his strength, veins and blood vessels appeared in his big arms. He waved his arms wildly and slammed the glacier below: "Cut...cut...rice cake!"
"Boom boom boom" Katakuri took Hashirama's right arm and smashed the thick tree trunk, falling on the frozen ice of Esdeath.
"boom--!"
The glacier cracked, and large pieces of broken ice were lifted up.
"Crack, swish, swish," the dozens of meters thick ice was penetrated by Katakuri, and azure seawater seeped out from the hole in the ice.
Tsunade exclaimed: "Grandpa——!"
Katakuri stood on the edge of the cave entrance, staring at the cave entrance filled with seawater. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
"It's so dangerous." Not far away, Hashirama, who was unscathed, smiled and asked, "Is that your special move just now?"
"How is that possible!" Katakuri said coldly: "I clearly have the touch to hit you!"
"Oh, you're talking about this..." Hashirama clasped his palms together: "Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
A dozen identical wooden figures emerged from behind Hashirama. In the blink of an eye, the wood-colored bodies seemed to be coated with paint, becoming exactly like real people.
"!?" Katakuri was surprised. He didn't expect that the Sensen Fruit could have such a clone ability.
"What you just eliminated was my wooden clone, but thanks to it, I also figured out your speed, strength and abilities."
"Whoosh whoosh-" The wooden clones that split out from the pillars suddenly spread out, split into two directions, bypassed the crisscrossing branches, passed through the woods, and took a shortcut to pursue the Charlotte family members just now.
"Damn it..." Katakuri wanted to stop these wooden clones. Dozens of glutinous rice strips split and extended from his back. The front end turned into a sharp tip and went straight towards the split wooden clones between the pillars.
"Crack!" Hashirama clasped his hands together. Under the control of his chakra, the trees swayed, moved, and moved their branches. The thick trunks blocked the sharp glutinous rice strips.
The glutinous rice strips stuck hard into the tree trunk, making the sound of wood fibers breaking.
"It can't be pulled out..." Katakuri made a quick decision, cut off the glutinous rice strips connected to his back, and jumped to avoid the entanglement of two branches that suddenly grew out of the tree trunk under his feet.
"The perception is also very good." Hashirama commented with ease.
"Click" Katakuri fell back to the ice, and the spur-studded heels made a crisp sound. He bent down and pressed his left hand on the glacier under his feet. In an instant, the solid and flat ice surface turned into a squirming rice cake.
"The awakening of the superhuman system?"
"Cuiyu Nuomi!"
Under the control of Katakuri's thoughts, the huge glutinous rice ball assimilated by the ability split and extended into hundreds of sharp glutinous rice strips, rushing towards the pillars in the forest.
In the next second, the dense glutinous rice strips collided with the tree world.
"Bang bang bang——"
The forest, which contained vitality, destroyed the sticky rice strips covered in armed colors like a torrent, and pushed towards Katakuri with an unstoppable momentum.
"Katakuri!" Owen's whole body lit up with a red light symbolizing scorching heat, and wisps of white steam emerged from the surface of his body. He quickly rushed to Katakuri's location.
The moment the branches and roots touched Owen, they burned and turned into ashes, unable to stop him from moving forward.
However, a head of golden hair flashed past, and Tsunade stood in front of Owen.
"Go to hell!" Tsunade, who is 1.6 meters tall, looks like a large Barbie doll in front of Owen, who is nearly 5 meters tall. Owen has never seen her on the wanted poster and only thinks that Tsunade is a member of the Dawn Pirates. An ordinary newcomer: "Hot Wind Fist!"
The temperature of Owen's right fist was heated to the extreme, the air became distorted under the scorching temperature, and the hot wind wrapped around the fist. Owen's bent arm swung forward, and Owen punched out, and the scorching wind rushed towards Tsunade.
Tsunade ducked low and raised her left arm to resist the oncoming heat wave. The hot wind burned her white and tender skin, making her frown slightly. Then, she stepped forward and rushed into Owen's arms without hesitation. inside.
"What!?" Owen didn't expect that Tsunade was not blown away by his hot wind fist.
Tsunade used her strange power secret technique without reservation, and huge and high-quality chakra suddenly exploded in her petite fist.
A punch blasted out, causing heavy air waves visible to the naked eye. Owen faced this powerful punch and his face turned pale.
Suddenly, a strip of glutinous rice passed through the dense branches and wrapped around Owen's waist. When the snow-white glutinous rice ball encountered high temperatures, a black, hard char layer appeared on the surface.
"boom!"
With a dull loud noise, Tsunade punched the glutinous rice strips on Owen's chest, and the hardened glutinous rice strips shattered into pieces. Owen was punched away by Tsunade's strange strength, and his strong body flew into the air, flying backwards towards the scout ship thousands of meters away.
"Bang bang bang" opened a human-shaped hole in several Big Mom Pirates' reconnaissance ships. Owen, who was flying upside down, finally stopped. His chest was sunken and his whole body was lying limply on the ruins of a reconnaissance ship.
"Tsuna, are you okay?" Hashirama asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Tsunade raised her arm and showed the location of the burn. The burn disappeared visibly to the naked eye and became white and tender again.
"As expected of my granddaughter!" Hashirama laughed.
Tsunade asked: "Grandpa, what happened to the other enemy?"
"It's still inside, but... you might be surprised."
As soon as he finished speaking, the forest that encompassed Katakuri became soft and blended into a ball like glutinous rice. The original color of the wood was entangled and mixed with the emerald green of the leaves, like an abstract art painting.
"This..." Tsunade opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Did he assimilate his grandfather's tree world?"
"I'm afraid so."
Within a few seconds, a small piece of forest had been assimilated into glutinous rice by Katakuri. Katakuri walked out with a gloomy expression. He stared hard at Tsunade, who had seriously injured Owen.
But he didn't dare to divert his attention at all. The strength displayed by Hashirama...
"Tsuna, go support the others." Hashirama said with a smile: "This man is not easy to deal with, at least he is not someone who can be dealt with in one or two moves."
"Okay." Tsunade nodded, turned around and rushed into the dense forest, preparing to go to other battlefields.
Hashirama put on a fighting stance for the first time and said seriously: "Come on."
"..." Katakuri closed his mouth tightly, and the huge glutinous rice balls rushed toward Hashirama like a tidal wave under his urging.
Some people died, but not completely...
