40.1 Germinate
*Craaack! *Rustlee...
Katakuri couldn't help but stopping his charge when he saw the unbelievable happened, His opponent had actualy stopped his trident rotational momentum only by dampened it by his elongated bones protruding out of his left hand!
The bones coiled around his trident firmly as if it were some tentacles!
In the next moment, Kimimaro who currently unable to move saw Smoothie appeared from his left side, however, this time Smoothie's size had grown bigger and looks like a giant!
Kimimaro also noticed that lots of mumified body of his opponents crew laid lifelessly behind Smoothie huge body.
*CLAAANK!
A loud sound of metal clashing against metal were once more heard loudly as Kimimaro blocked Smoothie's giant sword!
*Craaack!
Simultaneously, the ship's wooden body cracking and almost couldn't held on when Smoothie swung her sword down against Kimimaro.
Smoothie gritted her teeth hard when tried to activate her devil fruit ability once again when her sword was blocked by Kimimaro's left palm sword.
Kimimaro chuckled seeing his opponent effort in vain, "Do you know? Bone's extracellular matrix only comprises 5% liquid in it. Your ability won't work against me..."
Just when Kimimaro finished talking, Katakuri let go of his stuck trident and dashed forward, he turns his arms and hands into mochi and compresses them until they acquire a square shape.
"KAKU MOCHI(Square Mochi)...!" Katakuri yelled.
He swings his arms so fast it became blurry and sent barrages of square-shaped punches towards Kimimaro!
*Boomb *Boom! *Boom!
The place where Kimimaro stood immediately destroyed along with the ship's quarter deck due to Katakuri's Haki imbued punches!
"Huh?!" Suddenly, Katakuri with his Kenbunshoku(Color of Observation) Haki felt something! And yet,
*Zraaaat!!!
"AAAAKH! FUCK!" Katakuri screamed when Kimimaro who instantly appeared right behind him slashed out his left palm sword covered Haki and cut off his left hand right from the base!
"NII-SAN...!"
*Boooom!
Smoothie yelled in horror when she saw her brother's left arm had been chopped off from its base on the shoulder, gushing out a massive amount of blood!
Without thinking she instantly swung her sword downwards against Kimimaro! Noticing the incoming slash, Kimimaro pulled his body away quickly.
"Teshi Sendan: Hatsuga(Ten Fingers Bullet: Germinate)..."
The latter swung his hands which by now had already transfromed back into normal looking ones and hurled Bone Bullets toward Smoothie's giant body!
*Pshuk! *Pshuk! *Pshuk!
Distracted by her brother condition, Smoothie almost didn't notice Kimimaro's finger bullets pierced her giant body easily like a knife through butter!
"Aaaaaaakh!" Smothie cried as her body swayed back while she tried to covers her exposed body.
"Bastard!" Katakuri was an admirable brother for his siblings, seeing Kimimaro hurts his sister, he dashed forward completely ignoring his chopped arm!
Covering his remaining hand with Haki, Katakuri punched out toward his opponent's head only to see Kimimaro similarly threw his own fist welcoming the oncoming strike!
*BOOOM!
A Haki explosions occured when the two fists connected towards each other, alas!
*Crack!
*Tumble....
*Boooom!
Just with a simplest punch, Katakuri was sent flying towards the ship's rubble at the back! Kimimaro smiled gently as he pulled his stretched fist back.
Only a moment later, he turned his head slightly and from the corner of his eye, he saw Daifuku's geenie had already made a stance at his back to swing its halberd towards him.
*CLANK!
