Silver Theorem

"You told me to 'dodge' and I did, but I didn't see anything," Katakuri said.

"How come... ah!" Mia seemed to think of something: "Don't use domineering, look directly with the naked eye!"

"No... I can feel the breath and hear Homiz's voice, but I can't determine its location. What's going on?" Katakuri clenched the "Earth Dragon" in his hand. ——In that case, let’s start with the visible enemy...

"Katakuri, don't confront that guy for the time being. You who can't see the demon sword are very dangerous now. I speculate that there may be something that affects perception on your side, and this effect may be eliminated through the mirror. , I will give you instructions from the mirror." Mia dismissed his thoughts in time.

"Please... Although I don't rely on vision, but the presence of that knife is very strange..."

Before he could finish speaking, Katakuri suddenly turned sideways and waved "Earth Dragon" towards the place where Mia saw nothing, followed by a piercing crashing sound.

"Hiss! As expected of you, you can't determine the location, but you can still attack by instinct, but can you be so lucky every time?"

Ignoring Skoll's yelling, Mia thought intently, what's going on, this time it's her turn to not see it, no, the demon sword is still floating in the air and staring at Katakuri, so the one who attacked him just now was...

At this time, Bree also brought the guest to the mirror world according to Mia's request.

"I brought the man, and the pen and paper you asked for."

"Thank you, it seems that Sis really put in a lot of effort." Having said that, Mia's expression was not frustrated.

While watching the battlefield, she explained the situation to the guests.

"Of course the demon sword has a physical body. Even if you use invisibility technology, you shouldn't be able to escape Lord Katakuri's knowledge, but..."

"only?"

"What you call 'fog' bothers me a bit."

"Could it be the demonic aura of the demon sword or something?"

"You're talking about a curse, right? A curse is invisible to the naked eye. At most, it feels oppressive and fearful. It can be said to be a kind of atmosphere. But the demon sword has a special power because of the curse on it. Strength, if the curse is stripped off, it is just an ordinary knife."

"Wait," Mia interrupted the guest: "You said 'stripping'... you can't..."

"What did you think of?" Bree asked.

"It's just my guess. This monster knife probably has some kind of change after being infused with the soul. If Homiz's real body is not a knife but a curse..."

"Huh?" Bree and the guest exclaimed at the same time.

This idea is too jumpy, so far there has never been a non-physical Homiz.

"Look carefully, although the demon knife can move on its own, it doesn't have a face like other Homiz."

"Ah... Indeed... No wonder I felt a sense of disobedience from just now."

"If Homiz is the product of the 'soul', will it be similar to the 'curse'? Maybe the two can be merged, so this is not a 'dual personality knife', but a 'dual personality curse' '."

"But what you said has anything to do with Brother Katakuri's inability to see the demon sword?"

"As for this, suppose the fog is the product of the combination of the curse and the soul, that is to say, the soul can make the curse visible, and now the fog has disappeared..."

"Ah, really! When..."

"I judge that it is because the curse has spread, just like sugar cubes dissolved in water, and the curse is also left on the demon knife. As I said just now, the knife is just a carrier. Because the curse is 'alive' and can act on its own, it is impossible Oddly, it is now like a small tree in a conscious forest."

"I'm familiar with this." Bree thought of the Forest of Temptation.

"I have a bottom line." Katakuri's voice came from the phone bug: "It's not that I 'can't see' this knife, but because its existence is too confusing."

"What do you mean, Katakuri-san?"

"I can't locate it because it's everywhere."

Because of his strong sense of knowledge, Katakuri's senses are too sharp, and perhaps it is because of this that he will be more affected than ordinary people.

"What we saw just now should be the body of the demon sword. The reason why Katakuri 'didn't see' may be because of the dislocation of vision after using the color of knowledge. We were not at the scene, so we were not affected by the curse." Mia said While pacing back and forth in front of the mirror.

"It will only be the real demon sword that attacks, and the sense of presence is impossible to hurt people, right? As long as we help Katakuri-sama watch..." Before the guest finished speaking, Bu Lei grabbed the mirror and shouted:

"...Eh? That knife, when did it disappear!"

"It should be hiding, and using the interference of the curse to launch an attack by surprise is its predetermined tactic..."

Mia stopped in her tracks. There was something else that she missed. Just now there was indeed a situation where the attack could not be seen even through the mirror. Could it be that...

"It seems that you are also very imaginative. I didn't expect the combination of the soul and the curse to have such a magical effect. Although a troublesome personality was produced, the indiscriminate killing I originally planned became a specific target... But..." Skoll approached Katakuri with a knife, and suddenly cut out from bottom to top: "As long as you have trained well, you will be fine!"

Katakuri blocked it easily with the earth dragon.

——The curse is non-physical, so it is impossible to add poison to it anyway, so Skoll himself will be in danger, so just focus on defending against the attacks of Demon Sword and Skoll.

— But could the invisible attack just now be caused by a curse?How to attack without an entity?How to explain it?

"Hello!" Katakuri's deep voice interrupted Mia's thoughts: "As a field person, I would like to express my opinion. Don't go into a dead end. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. Just think about how to defeat the enemy."

Mia suddenly realized, yes, the principle is not important, just think from the facts that she can recognize, try all the methods that can be tried, with him, I will definitely be able to do it!

She tore off her silk sash and handed it to Katakuri through the mirror from Bree.

The moment Katakuri got the ribbon, he felt the air around him suddenly release an electric current. This time, he clearly saw a knife attacking him from mid-air.

While Katakuri blocked the sword, Skoll roared: "What are you doing, stupid sword!"

Immediately afterwards, the demon sword "disappeared" from Katakuri's eyes again, followed by invisible slashes from all directions, and Skoll also attacked him in coordination.

"It doesn't matter, that guy eats this set, continue to induce it, Katakuri!" Mia shouted: "Listen, I have observed the surroundings through the mirror just now, and now I will use you as the center, and the space with a radius of 50 meters Divide the coordinates in units of [-] centimeters from the length of the demon sword, and tell me the coordinates of the source of the attack you sensed with the color of knowledge, it doesn’t matter if it’s inaccurate, can it be done?”

"It's simple."

As Mia expected, due to the temptation of silk, the appearance of the demon sword became more frequent, and the invisible attacks became more and more violent. Katakuri cleverly used the silk to guide the attack direction of the demon sword, and under Mia's reminder Easily dodge attacks.

For the invisible attack, he used the earth dragon to resist, and at the same time provided Mia with coordinates. Those coordinates were very messy, and sometimes even appeared in different positions at the same time. The pen and paper worked quickly.

"What is that guy doing?" Bree asked softly.

The guest replaced Mia, who had no time to care about him, and explained: "Now it can be seen that the demon knife itself still has a stronger obsession with silk, and the invisible attack is mainly aimed at Katakuri-sama. Although it cannot be accurately captured with knowledge and knowledge, but It seems that the attacks of the demon sword and the demon sword are ebb and flow. Using silk to separate the attacks of the two is more convenient for observation. She is betting right... and she just wants to clarify the connection and rules, so as to pre-empt strikes, after all, it only depends on evasion You can't seal the Demon Sword if you resist it. But...it's all based on guesswork."

At this moment, Katakuri was already used to the rhythm of the battle, a sharp spear was brandished like a shield, and attacks from all directions were easily resolved by him without hurting him at all.

"Why! I should have sealed your knowledge, why can't I defeat you!" Skoll roared hysterically.

"Your tactics are indeed strange, but your understanding of combat is still at the entry level." Katakuri responded unhurriedly.

"By the way, just now the voice in the phone bug said... Mirror! Is your helper coming from there! Knife, destroy all mirrors first!" Skoll ordered. burst open.

"The mirrors all around are shattered!" Bree yelled, holding her head.

"It's okay, Katakuri, continue to report the coordinates to me, you don't need my support anymore, right?" Mia calmly said to the phone bug.

"Yeah, I'm gradually able to distinguish the actions of the 'main body'." Katakuri said.

"Stop bragging!" The phone bug also received Skoll's voice: "The soul can help the demon knife to project multiple invisible entities in the cursed space, and the two can increase their projection infinitely while supplementing each other's strength. How do you They might all be recognized!"

"Thank you for your explanation." Mia smiled lightly: "Although the principle doesn't matter anymore, but I know that I will feel more comfortable in the future~"

"But, the charms are all on Mia, right? How can I send the charms without the mirror?" The guest raised his concerns.

Bree pulled out from behind him an ornate mirror large enough for Mia to pass through.

"Let me go."

"Brei..." Katakuri on the other side also guessed Bree's thoughts through the phone bug.

Mia and Bree looked at each other for a few seconds, picked up the handset of the phone bug, and said seriously: "Sorry, Katakuri, I'm going to let your sister go on an adventure."

"It's okay, I also want to be patted on the head by my brother occasionally and say 'good job'." Bree showed a bright smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were squeezed together.

"I see." Katakuri sighed softly, agreeing.

Bree got out from the mirror closest to the battlefield, and while being careful not to be discovered, he ran towards the center of the battle with all his strength holding his own mirror.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Mia in the mirror world suddenly yelled and threw away the pen in her hand, and tore the draft paper to pieces: "The attack speed is too fast to count!"

"Huh? Do you need to calculate anything else, Mr. Katakuri can handle it already..."

"Now the demon sword can be sealed at any time, the key is..." Mia grabbed her hair with one hand indiscriminately: "It doesn't matter, use your heart to determine the outcome, and use your intuition to make up for the shortcomings!"

"Wait! Did you say something unreliable just now!?" Bree broke out in a cold sweat, obviously not just because he was running.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Katakuri couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why are you laughing! How much do you want to underestimate me!" Skoll roared.

"I didn't underestimate you, on the contrary, I want to thank you for allowing me to have an interesting experience..." Katakuri blocked his attack: "People change, so do moves and abilities, I don't know What have you done in the past ten years, but you may not have the spare energy to take care of your own growth and the study of the enemy. In your eyes, I may still be the same as ten years ago. I respect your efforts, but this is probably your only one. It’s the limit of what people can do, unfortunately, the battle will end soon.”

Mia in the mirror world suddenly grabbed the phone bug: "Bray! Hold the mirror to position A6B2C4!"

"Where are you talking about!?" Bree roared out of breath, she didn't have the energy to figure out the coordinates.

"You go 7 steps to the left, then 2 steps forward, and then the height of 4 meters, probably!"

"'Probably' is useless!...Damn it, let's fight it—" Bree raised the mirror and rushed out from the corner of the wall.

Mia rushed out of the mirror and shouted, "Katakuri, at your right foot!"

"I know!"

While Katakuri swung the earth dragon sideways, Mia cast a spell into the empty space on the other side of him, a translucent spot of light appeared under the spell, accompanied by a miserable female voice, turned into The smoke dissipated.

"Isn't this... the Sealed Demon Sword?" Bu Lei asked puzzled while holding the mirror.

"So that's it. She wanted to find out the location of the soul first, and use the spell to cut off the connection between the soul and the curse. The rest of the demon sword is easy to deal with, and it can also ensure that no other difficult situations will arise." The guest revealed. Looking at this scene through the mirror, he said.

At this time, Katakuri also fixed the demon sword on the ground with the earth dragon. Mia quickly ran over and pasted the charm. For a while, a whirlwind that seemed to cut the skin swept around them, and then gradually as if being sucked into the demon sword. Disappeared.

"Can you break it?"

"Huh...huh...forget it, it's a cultural relic..." Mia answered Katakuri while adjusting her breathing.

Bree pulled Mia to a safe place and waited for the finale.

Skoll's knife fell to the ground, and he himself fell to his knees: "How could it be so simple... I waited 10 years for this opportunity... Ugh!"

He let out a gasp as the earth dragon was already on his neck.Katakuri looked down at him:

"You put it simply... just because you lost, you completely deny your opponent's efforts, which shows that you not only don't have the courage to look directly at the enemy, but you don't even have the courage to affirm yourself."

Skoll's lips trembled, his eyes wandered, and he couldn't say a word.

"You want to poison me, assassinate me, and pull me out to fight one-on-one. I will accompany you at any time, but I can't forgive you for shooting innocent people." Katakuri turned the earth dragon: "Prepare to sacrifice your soul, Be the cornerstone of all nations."

After finishing speaking, he waved the earth dragon lightly, and Skoll fell down in response.

Katakuri came to Mia and Bree, squatted down, and stretched out his right hand to Mia:

"The cooperation is smooth, let's shake hands."

Mia also extended her right hand, but because Katakuri's hand was too wide, it was more like a high five than a handshake.

"Let me declare first... I prefer to move my body more than to use my brain..."

Mia spoke intermittently, and Katakuri noticed that her hands were shaking, and her eyes looked like they were about to close at any time.

"So, I'm... tired, good night..."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't hold on any longer, her feet tilted, and she just fell to the ground...

The author has something to say:

A word of thought about the original story of the big mom ④:

Katakuri is a typical boy fighting anime enemy, but he is an atypical final boss in One Piece. The only one who can be compared to him is Rob Lucci.
