Chapter 1302: Battle of Special Paramecia Types, Mochi and Gummy!
Grand Line First Half Sea Area.
On a small island about fifty nautical miles from Sabaody Archipelago.
Two tall figures, also wearing police officer uniforms and dark green coats, stood facing each other in the area, separated by dozens of meters.
"This is truly unexpected. The Gendarmerie Director actually challenged me, the Public Security Department Division Chief, to a fight."
"So what do you hope to get from this combat? Don't tell me you plan to demand I give up competing for the Police Headquarters Officer position after beating me?"
Gaspardi sneered repeatedly, his gaze full of mockery as he sized up Charlotte Katakuri opposite him.
Although Charlotte Katakuri was the second son of 'BIG MOM' and now the Gendarmerie Director, a position that gathered the police elite.
Gaspardi felt no fear, for he was full of confidence in his strength and ability.
Even most Marine Vice Admirals probably couldn't beat him!
As for Charlotte Katakuri's record of successfully arresting Elizabello II after facing 'King's Punch', he had specifically looked into it.
It was nothing more than transforming into mochi beforehand and hiding underground to avoid it.
He could do the same thing, as he was also a Special Paramecia Type Ability User.
"I have no interest in the Police Headquarters Officer position. Compared to that, I'm more interested in the act of exchanging blows with you itself."
Charlotte Katakuri's attitude was cold, but the fighting intent in his eyes burned like a flame.
"Stop lying, do you have any other reason to fight me besides that?!"
Gaspardi didn't believe Charlotte Katakuri's nonsense.
"But never mind, there are plenty of hypocritical people in this world, and you're just one of them."
"Since you want to fight, let's fight. Just hope you don't run crying to Mama after you get beaten~~"
Gaspardi quipped, amused by his own remark.
But jokes aside, he wasn't really afraid of 'BIG MOM'.
After all, he was now the Public Security Department Division Chief, backed by the World Government, a towering large tree.
"You really need to calm down."
Charlotte Katakuri was expressionless. He took a step forward, and instantly a loud boom rang out.
A fierce aura erupted from his body like a gale.
In an instant, the surrounding environment became dim, with crackling red lightning flashing occasionally.
At the same time.
Charlotte Katakuri's arms, which were moving forward, suddenly turned pitch black, their surface even shimmering with black glow.
"Conqueror's Haki, truly enviable."
Feeling the aura rushing towards him, and the spiritual power constantly impacting his will.
Jealousy flashed in Gaspardi's eyes.
In his opinion, Charlotte Katakuri was just born lucky.
Only by having a mother like 'BIG MOM' could he be fortunate enough to possess the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki.
Even though Gaspardi's family background far surpassed that of most civilians.
His father was previously Colonel Haros, the Base Commander of the Marines' 194th Branch Base on Watermelon Island in the South Blue.
The Special Paramecia Type Candy-Candy Fruit he now possessed was obtained by Colonel Haros.
However, Gaspardi was such a greedy person, always wanting to climb higher, even if it meant using any means necessary.
Crucially, his strength was indeed good, his luck had been good so far, and he was daring enough to fight.
That's how he smoothly ascended to the position of Public Security Department Division Chief.
"But I, without Conqueror's Haki, will definitely defeat you today!"
"Let a Heaven's Chosen like you taste the flavor of defeat, Haa!"
Amidst the impact of the Conqueror's Haki, Gaspardi let out an angry shout.
[Bang!]
When his arms also showed a black glow like ink, he stomped hard with his foot.
His entire being instantly transformed into an afterimage, rushing in front of Charlotte Katakuri in the blink of an eye.
[Boom----]
His right fist, like a cannonball leaving its barrel, violently exploded with a sonic boom.
Behind him was the soaring smoke and dust formed by the ground that was stomped and exploded.
Facing such a fierce attack, Charlotte Katakuri did not dodge or evade.
Even though the red glow flashing in his eyes meant he had already seen the 'Future', he still chose to meet it head-on.
Dragon's meaning was very clear: to make Gaspardi recognize his own strength level.
Don't think that just because the Public Security Department Division Chief and Gendarmerie Director are the same rank, their strength is also similar!
Even without Issho's sudden arrival, if someone were to be promoted, it wouldn't be him.
After all, what the World Government valued most was ultimately individual combat power.
Charlotte Katakuri exerted strength with his arms, his veins bulging.
His large black fist tore through the air, also exploding with a visible sonic boom mist in front of him.
[Dong!!!!]
Their fists collided.
The terrifying fist force, upon exploding, instantly vibrated the air, turning it into thick air currents that vented outwards in circles.
The ground beneath them trembled, cracked, and sank madly.
It quickly turned into an earth wave that pushed out in all directions.
A moment later, looking down from overhead, a huge circular pit had formed in the center of this island.
Then, a surging gale swept through, snapping all the trees on the island and throwing them into the high altitude.
"What?!"
Gaspardi felt the pain and terrifying strength transmitted from his fist.
His face was full of astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The next second.
He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, an air barrier forming behind him, until he slammed heavily against the earth wall of the ring pit.
[Swish!]
Before Gaspardi could react, his vision suddenly flashed.
Charlotte Katakuri instantly appeared in mid-air and stomped down towards his chest with one foot.
"Bastard, you're too arrogant!"
Gaspardi became furious, sharp green thorns appearing all over his body.
He quickly coated them with a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki, as well as a bright cherry-red radiance.
Hardening + Ryuo!
But Charlotte Katakuri didn't care at all. His foot didn't dodge or evade, allowing the seemingly dangerous spikes to pierce his foot and calf.
[Bang----]
The next moment, his right foot, squeezing through layers of air currents, heavily stomped on Gaspardi's chest.
"Ahhhhhh!"
A mournful scream echoed throughout the area. Gaspardi spat out blood, looking in fear at the legs and feet in front of him that hadn't suffered the slightest damage.
His attack couldn't break Charlotte Katakuri's Haki defense!
This showed that the power difference between the two was a whole level.
Admiral-level Combat Power!
This guy had definitely reached Admiral-level Combat Power!
Vice Admiral, Admiral, don't look at how close they are in rank, but in a real fight, the result would only be one-sided.
[Boom--------]
Charlotte Katakuri's stomp was truly earth-shattering.
The ring pit wall that had just formed not long ago was like it had been hit by a tactical missile bombardment.
In an instant, it crumbled and disintegrated, torn apart.
Under the deafening loud noise, Gaspardi's figure was deeply embedded underground.
The combat should be over... Just as Charlotte Katakuri, who was in mid-air, thought this.
The messy, completely collapsed gravel ground suddenly turned green and soft in large areas.
"This is Awakening?"
Charlotte Katakuri landed not far away, his face showing surprise.
He hadn't expected that under the pressure he applied, Gaspardi would actually succeed in awakening his Devil Fruit ability.
Indeed, someone who could become the Public Security Department Division Chief might have personality issues, but their ability and talent were not weak.
However...
"In front of me, your Awakening is useless."
Charlotte Katakuri's tone was cold, and at the same time, he activated his own Awakening.
Immediately, the broken ground that had just turned green rapidly turned white, constantly encroaching upon the green zone.
In the blink of an eye, the earth in the center of the island was completely turned into mochi.
Gaspardi, who looked bloody and extremely miserable, was also wrapped up in a mochi ball and brought from underground to stand before Charlotte Katakuri.
The former still retained some consciousness, his gaze towards the latter filled with fear.
"Do you understand what your level is now?"
Charlotte Katakuri looked calmly at Gaspardi:
"Just honestly be your Public Security Department Division Chief. This is already the peak you can reach."
