"HURRY!!!" Katakuri yelled once more.
Taking advantage of Katakuri's moment of distraction, Kimimaro used Soru(shave) and disappear.
Katakuri had already noticed his opponent action, alas, he was a tad too late!
"Aaaaaah!" Smoothie suddenly screamed from behind.
Kimimaro reapeared and immediately went and catch Smoothie off guard! Smoothie's back was being pierced by a new conjured bones of Kimimaro which protruding out of his left palm!
Smoothie swung her sword towards her back hastily as Kimimaro immediately side-stepped from the spot while twisting his bone on Smoothie's back, worsening her wound!
"BASTARD!" The nearby Daifuku yelled and threw a punch covered Haki toward his enemy.
*Woosh...
Kimimaro calmly dodge the incoming strike and swung his bones forward.
*Clank...
Once again, Katakuri appeared and blocked Kimimaro's attack, however, this time his free hand conjured out mochi substances toward his enemies leg in attempt to obstruct his movement.
Seeing his enemy action, Kimimaro gave a smile. Contrary to everyone expectation, he didn't avoid the viscous substance, while he calmly said,
"Karamatsu no Mai(Dance of the larch)..."
in an instant, Kimimaro sprouts sharp bones from all parts of his body! Katakuri couldn't cancel his technique helplessly while the sharp bones shooting toward his surrounding, The trio who stood the closest to the epicenter could only tried their best to defend their bodies!
*Stab! *Stab! Stab!
*Clank! *Clank!
While Katakuri and Smoothie could block Kimimaro's sharp bones albeit in difficulty, their brother Daifuku could not!
When he saw Kimimaro's porcupine-like ability, he covered his arms with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki completely and made a boxing defensive stance to protect his vital parts. What he didn't know however, his Haki was far inferior than Kimimaro who had superior Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki even amongst the Marine!
*Shluk! *Shluk *Shluk!
"GUAAAAAKH....!" Daifuku screamed in agony when several bones impaled his body!
"DAIFUKU!" Katakuri and Smoothie yelled simultaneously.
"Karamatsu no Mai: Kaika(Dance of the Larch: Bloom)..."
In an instant moment, Kimimaro reshape his tube-shaped bones into blade-like shapes, thin and sharp! He spins his body around in a circular motion at high speed throwing away Daifuku who once got impaled!
*Woooosh....!
Katakuri immediately used his mochi ability to cushion Daifuku, preventing him from casted away toward the sea! Daifuku body was being covered with lots of gapping wound as he received the spinning attack of Kimimaro's bone when he was still being impaled, his breathing was rugged as he tried to keep himself awake.
Katakuri gnashed his teeth and sent Daifuku away from the combat zone seeIng his brother was in no condition to join another battle.
As for Smoothie, after she jumps away, she dashed back and swung her long sword toward Kimimaro once the latter stops his spinning motion.
"Die!" Yelled Smoothie.
*Clank...
Kimimaro calmly raised his left palm and block Smoothie's slash with his protruding bone-blade.
"Gotcha!" Smoothie smirked seeing her blade and Kimimaro's made contact.
She immediately tried to use her own Devil Fruit ability which able to absorb any liquid from anything she made contact into, be it living things or non-living things.
Alas, only a second later. Smoothie realized that something was amiss! Kimimaro chuckled and immediately kick her and sent her flying while his opponent were being confused.
*Bang!
