Boom boom boom——
The rising earth gradually closed in to form a stone pillar, trying to squeeze Katakuri inside to death.
However, before it could shrink to a certain range, a heavy and powerful sound of impact was heard from inside. The attack, which could easily shatter a mountain of rock, broke a large hole in the sealed stone prison. Katakuri's figure rushed out from inside, turned around and looked at the hole that was slowly healing, his face under the scarf was extremely ugly.
"The user of the Float-Float Fruit has appeared again. Why is he here?"
As one of the only four vice-captains on the sea, Katakuri is not only extremely powerful, but also has knowledge that is unmatched by ordinary people.
Golden Lion was once a crew member on a ship with his mother. How could Katakuri not recognize the Float-Float Fruit of Golden Lion, one of the kings of the last era who was declared dead some time ago?
It was precisely because he was too shocked that Katakuri, who had just broken free from his restraints, could not understand for a moment the intention of the mysterious man appearing here.
"That direction is… Bastard, if you dare to attack my brother, I will never let you go!"
Just as Katakuri released his Observation Haki to look for that figure, his face suddenly changed in shock after seeing the direction he was heading. His figure turned into a residual image and merged into the darkness, running towards the direction of Baoman Town.
Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow, and it took him quite a while to break free from the restraints.
When his observation Haki found the figure, Dewey had already arrived in Baoman Town and found the strongest aura other than Katakuri.
"Boom…"
In order to prevent anyone from coming to cause trouble, Dewey once again used the power of the Floating Fruit to lift up an astonishingly large area of land, turning it into earth walls hundreds of meters high on all sides, covering the entire Baoman Town.
In addition to this, another earthen hand was created to wrap around the location where Owen was, a snack-shaped building.
Blocked by two incredibly thick earth walls, Dewey didn't believe that Katakuri could get there before he captured Owen.
Flying into the door in the earth wall that opened automatically, Dewey found Owen who came out on his own and was extremely conspicuous under the light.
He has golden-orange hair, a flame-like three-blade hairstyle, a beard on his chin, and a bare upper body with only a cloak on. He is obviously Katakuri's younger brother, but he looks older than Katakuri in appearance and body shape. He is Dewey's target, the one who ate the parahuman Heat-Hot Fruit – Charlotte Owen.
call out–!
Without any hesitation, Dewey flew directly towards Owen.
"High Fever Fist——"
Like his brother, Owen saw that it was Dewey who was causing chaos on his island and town. Without any questions, he jumped up with a nearly five-meter-tall figure, raised his fist as big as Dewey's head, heated it up to make it boiling hot, even with a little flame, and smashed it like a boxing champion.
The high temperature, power and domineering contained in the fist are such that even if a person with a strong physique and mastered the Armament Haki is hit head-on, he will suffer great damage unless the strength of his domineering is incredible.
If there is no domineering defense, even a burly strongman will die instantly once hit.
Just like Dewey's blade, it killed the Golden Lion just by passing through the chest.
Unless it's a monster like Whitebeard, no one can survive with their internal organs burned.
Unfortunately, Owen's domineering power is far inferior to that of his brother, and the enemy in front of him is not just a user of the Float-Float Fruit.
Faced with this punch containing high temperature, Dewey let Owen's fist fall on him, creating a huge hole in his chest, but no blood spurted out, only a golden flame that was hotter than Owen's fist.
"Golden flame, it's you… click!"
Seeing the golden flame that almost the whole world knew, Owen recognized Dewey's identity at once. He looked at this guy who could fly with a white mask in disbelief, with fear and confusion in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't understand why a natural ability user could fly without the help of elemental jets and also control the earth?
However, before he could finish his sentence, the figure that jumped high had not yet fallen down. At the same time that the fist pierced Dewey's chest, Dewey stretched out his left hand, which had been tucked inside the loose cuffs of his black windbreaker. Wearing a white glove that his right hand did not have, he held Owen's wrist with a handcuff.
In an instant, Owen's heated fist returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the strength in his body was drained away. His figure suddenly lost its sense of balance and was about to fall, but was caught by Dewey because of the handcuffs chain, and the whole person was directly hanging in the air.
"Sea…seastone…handcuffs!"
Although he felt weak all over, Owen did not lose consciousness. He looked up at the handcuffs on his right hand and tried to raise his other fist to resist with gritted teeth.
So Dewey came to his aid and put his other hand ring around his other wrist.
Then, Dewey took out the map of the kingdom from his body, crumpled it up and stuffed it into Ou Di's pocket to prevent him from revealing his identity.
After doing all this, Dewey took Owen and soared into the sky.
The hemispherical cover covering the snack building opened a door and let his creation leave the stone prison.
call out–
Swish—boom!
Almost as soon as he flew out of the stone prison, Dewey picked up Owen with one hand and drew the ordinary samurai sword from his waist with the other hand. He swung out a green sword covered with armed color domineering, which was hundreds of meters high and collided with the black fist extending from bottom to top.
"Give my brother back!!"
As an angry roar sounded, an aura that made all ordinary people faint immediately covered the entire Baoman Town.
Even the airflow generated by the collision of attack and domineering power is vulnerable to this aura.
However, Dewey just took a deep look at Katakuri who was in a state of rage, and did not release the pressure on Katakuri to fight back. Instead, he took advantage of the slash to block the extended attack, and then increased his speed and soared into the sky.
"Don't even think about running away!!"
Without any hesitation, Katakuri used the awakened power of the fruit, turning the entire ground into a sticky ball to form a springboard, and then he turned into an arrow like an afterimage and shot towards Dewey.
In response, Dewey simply raised his ungloved right hand and made a downward gesture.
The hundreds of meters high earth walls on all sides immediately changed their shape, gathering to form a giant palm, blocking Dewey and Katakuri, separating the two.
Through the shrinking crack, Dewey could see the murderous intent and anger in Katakuri's eyes, then he turned his back to Katakuri and completely disappeared into the night sky.
Boom boom
The four earth walls fell down like palms, and the entire Dim Sum Island shook violently again, causing the ministers who had received the news of the Dim Sum Island to speed up their pace.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at the ruined town of Baoman, they only saw their elder brother and younger brother. Katakuri was sitting on the ground that had turned into a sticky ball. His face was extremely gloomy, and he exuded a low pressure that made people dare not approach him.
"Katakuri, what happened here?"
No one dared to approach at this time. Only the eldest brother, Charlotte Perospero, came over and asked, "You used the fruit awakening. Did you encounter a powerful invader?"
"Owen was kidnapped. The intruder… was the user of the Float-Float Fruit." Katakuri looked at Perospero with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice.
"…Katakuri, come back with me to see mom."
Perospero's pupils shrank slightly, and then he turned around and walked towards the Cake Island without saying a word, his expression as ugly as Katakuri's.
In a dimly lit room on Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin was lying on her throne, staring at Katakuri and Perospero below with red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why did the mysterious guy who dug up a small island in the Sabaody Archipelago appear in my territory? Katakuri, did you see what he looked like?"
"…No, he was wearing a full-body trench coat with a hood and a white clown mask on his face. He was obviously a powerful swordsman, but he only used an ordinary samurai sword."
Seeing that his mother didn't say a word about Owen being kidnapped, Katakuri clenched his fists slightly and answered expressionlessly under the scarf.
Sizzle…
Saliva dripped onto the floor like sulfuric acid. Charlotte Linlin didn't care about Katakuri's mood changes. She just said fearfully, "On the day when those guys in the navy announced the death of Golden Lion to the world, the second generation of the Float-Float Fruit appeared and took away Area 77 of the Sabaody Archipelago. Now they are here to capture Owen. Are they trying to provoke me? Damn it, these cowardly guys are really annoying!"

"Mom, what should we do?" Perospero asked.
"What to do?"
Charlotte Lingling glared at her eldest son, as if venting her frustration, and scolded him loudly: "An enemy who is unknown to me, do you still want me to search the entire ocean to find him?!"
Taking a few deep breaths, Charlotte Lingling said in a cold voice: "Before he reveals his identity, you can only pray that Owen is not dead, otherwise this is his doomed death! Now, all of you, go out and appease those guys."
As soon as he finished speaking, Katakuri turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Perospero looked at Katakuri's back worriedly, then looked at Charlotte Linlin who closed her eyes, and left the room hesitantly.

"The awakening of the fruit is a very troublesome ability! Fortunately, you are a reckless person, otherwise my identity might be exposed."
Thousands of meters above the night sky, Dewey was flying at a moderate speed, looking down at Owen who was staring at him with hatred, and said with a smile.
I have to admit that Katakuri is completely worthy of the position of the Emperor's Vice-Chancellor.
The awakened ability of the fruit allowed him to effortlessly pass through the incredibly thick earth wall. If Dewey had been a few steps later, Owen might have been rescued and he would have faced a fierce battle.

Although the Floating Fruit can also seize control of Nuotuan, Nuotuan's power is obviously not comparable to that of the Earth.
Even if he had control of the sticky-eating doughnut, he couldn't hurt Katakuri.
Unless he reveals the Flame-Flame Fruit that restrains the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, it would be very difficult to kidnap Owen from Katakuri using only the Float-Float Fruit, swordsmanship, and domineering.
"Wuwuwu…"
Owen didn't know what Dewey was thinking. At this moment, he was kicking his feet hard, trying to attack Dewey.
"Sorry, I forgot you only lost your ability, you still have some strength."
Looking at Owen who was still struggling in vain, Dewey pulled out the ordinary samurai sword at his waist as if he had just remembered something, directly cut off Owen's legs, and then released flames to stop the bleeding of his wounds.
"Wuwuwu…"
The severe pain from the broken leg and burning sensation made Owen, who had lost his ability, faint from the pain.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Dewey nodded with satisfaction, then threw away the curved samurai sword and picked up Owen to speed up his flight.
In the early morning of the next day, Dewey crossed the Red Earth Continent and returned to the first half of the Grand Route, and then returned to the sailboat docked at Saint Ting Island in the afternoon.
Only two days had passed since Kalina and the other two landed on the island.
In just two days, Dewey traveled back and forth between the front and back halves of the Grand Line, broke into the territory of a hegemon, and kidnapped a person with special abilities.
This is the horror of the Floating Fruit!
With Golden Lion possessing this strategic-level ability, it is no wonder that his Flying Pirates were the strongest pirate group of the last era.
After returning to the ship, Dewey used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to control the sailboat back to the original coast, then took out the Den Den Mushi to contact Kalina.
"Boss, if I remember correctly, this person should be Charlotte Owen from the Big Mom Pirates, right?"
More than an hour later, Kalina, wearing a cloak, returned to the sailboat alone. Seeing Owen still in a coma, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes and looked at Dewey in shock and said, "Boss, you didn't go to the New World these two days, did you?"
"Well, help me take away his fruit ability, and then you go back and complete the test."
After handing the fruit to Kalina, Dewey pulled out the Autumn Water hanging back at his waist and took Owen's life.
"learn."
Kalina released a large amount of black mist and began the ritual expertly.
Soon, Kalina put away the black ball and handed the devil fruit surrounded by black mist to Dewey.
The last link of Ryujin Jakka, the superhuman Heat-Heat Fruit is obtained!
Dewey took the hot fruit handed to him by Kalina and took a bite of the fruit in front of Kalina without any hesitation.
Thus, the one and only user of the Three Fruits ability, Three, was born!
