40.2 Germinate
*CLANK!
The halberd failed to connect as it being held by Kimimaro's rib which instantly grew upwards and protected him like a cage!
In an instant moment, Katakuri jumping out from behind rubles and dust, he stretched his right leg upwards utilizing his mochi ability and sprouts multiple long tendrils of mochi from it, covering his right leg with Haki, Katakuri stomped it downward aiming at Kimimaro!
"Yanagi Mochi!" Katakuri yelled.
*BOOOOM!
Kimimaro kept his calm as he stretched his free hands upwards, he conjured out bones from his hands in an attempt to block Katakuri's leg.
Seeing his leg's being stopped, Katakuri didn't felt discouraged he immediately reshape his leg back into viscous liquid made out of mochi and swallows Kimimaro at the middle.
Kimimaro was still motionless even though his body were drowned by an extreme amount of viscous mochi substances, rendering him unable to move from the spot.
Seeing his opponent unable to move, Katakuri shouted, "SMOOTHIE! NOW!"
However, a moment later he couldn't help but turned his head quickly towards Smoothie, he was shocked when he saw his sister's body becoming smaller and smaller while the latter clutched her left chest with extreme pain showed on her face.
"Smoothie!" Without thinking, Katakuri immediately abandoned Kimimaro and dashed towards his sister.
Daifuku's geenie was also dissipated into thin air while the former tried his best to hold his pain and joining his sibling to check up on them.
"Katakuri! What happened to her?" Daifuku approached them hastily while blood drenched his clothes.
Katakuri's contenance turned grim as he held Smoothie's body close, Smoothie gritted her teeth in pain as several tear drops falling from her cheek.
Katakuri who let go of his mochi control couldn't careless about Kimimaro as he was feeling exasperated seeing his sister was laying down in pain.
*Tap *Tap *Tap.
The sounds of Kimimaro's Getta(Wooden sandal) resounding as he approached the siblings. Daifuku flinched his wounded body as he tried to shows a strong front while Katakuri turned his head feeling extremely upset.
"Give up, i don't want to kill you guys. That would be very troublesome..." Kimimaro smiled while Charlotte siblings face turned ugly
Katakuri suddenly stood up after he signaled Daifuku to held on Smoothie, the later complied as he carried Smoothie and tried to take several steps back.
Seeing their interactions, Kimimaro couldn't help but felt a little admiration toward their bonds.
"Don't worry, your sister is fine..." He spoke slowly.
"What did you do to her?" Katakuri was bewildered, how could Smoothie suddenly fell without fighting after a brief confrontation with the young Marine?
Raising one of his eyebrow, Kimimaro smiled and raise his right index finger, slowly Katakuri watched his enemy fingerskin peeled showing a drill-bits like bones inside.
"It was just a small trick of mine..." Kimimaro chuckled and swung his finger downwards toward the ship's wooden deck.
*Stab.
Katakuri saw that the sharp finger bones lodged on the floor, however a moment later the bone suddenly drilled into the wood and reapeared several steps away from its initial point!
Realization struck Katakuri, Kimimaro could control his bones even though it had already disconnected from his body! No wonder, Smoothie had gotten those finger bones lodged at her body, soon she fell down while clutching her left chest and he was sure that Kimimaro controlled it towards her hearts once those bones were inside her body!
"Charlotte Katakuri, i'm sure you had understood our gap. For your sister's sake, give up..."
