"They've appeared!"
"Hiss... Hey, hey, is there something wrong with my eyes?"
"Such a height, are you kidding me..."
"Are they really human?!"
"Could it be that the humans of another continent are all monsters like this?!"
"..."
The show of force with Charlotte Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki was effective.
But compared to the Conqueror's Haki, which was similar to a hypnotic genjutsu or other genjutsu, the lineup of the Charlotte Family and the Big Mom Pirates was even more intimidating to Kirigakure than the Conqueror's Haki just now.
Because he was not breaking into Kirigakure, Charlotte Katakuri did not use the Transformation Technique to shrink his body.
Therefore...
A height of 509cm, what kind of concept was that?
Let's put it this way, when Charlotte Katakuri broke into Kirigakure that day, if he hadn't used the Transformation Technique to shrink, then even if he bent down, he would have hit the ceiling of the clothing store.
If he stood up straight, he would be as tall as nearly two clothing stores, a full two stories high.
A height of two stories. Charlotte Katakuri, on the Ninja Continent where the height was generally below two meters and few reached or exceeded two meters, was a moving mansion.
Besides Charlotte Katakuri, there were also his siblings, Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven, whose heights were second only to their older brother's, infinitely close to five meters.
Besides the three brothers, the Charlotte Family also had Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Smoothie, who were over three and four meters tall.
Except for a few individual siblings, none of the members of the Charlotte Family were short.
So, when the siblings of the Charlotte Family walked in front of the Big Mom Pirates, they were like a series of giant walls of varying heights, approaching Kirigakure.
Especially since they were not only tall, but also strange-looking, and with the pirate aura of one of the Four Emperor's pirate crews, they naturally had an aura about them, which made many of the mist ninjas with poor mental fortitude in Kirigakure subconsciously feel fear.
If Charlotte Katakuri were to release his Conqueror's Haki again at this time, he would surely knock out many more people.
But now was not the same as just now. With both sides so close, if Charlotte Katakuri were to release his Conqueror's Haki, it would be easy to accidentally injure his own side.
So generally, when both sides started a war, except for hotheads or those who awakened their kingly aptitude in battle, the hegemons would try to avoid a clash of Conqueror's Haki.
Unless they became an overlord of the seas, transforming their Conqueror's Haki into pressure, or being able to wrap it around their fists and weapons, changing from a mental deterrent to physical destruction.
"Charge—"
"Boys, kill the mist ninjas in front and occupy Kirigakure!"
"Whoa whoa whoa..."
After their own side appeared in the enemy's eyes, and the enemy also appeared in their own vision.
Charlotte Katakuri wasted no words and lightly uttered two words.
His siblings, standing on his left and right sides, immediately commanded the troops they were leading and launched an attack on Kirigakure.
"After being a ninja for so many years, this is the first time I've felt what it's like to be attacked at my doorstep."
"Charge! Let the people of another continent see the strength of our Kirigakure!"
"Whoa whoa whoa..."
To encourage their companions, shouts came from the mouths of the fodder on both sides.
Then the strange-looking Big Mom Pirates, holding cold weapons or hot weapons, charged from the left towards Kirigakure on the right.
The mist ninjas, to protect their village, held kunai or drew the short swords from their waists and backs, and in a very unique ninja running posture, ran from the right towards the Big Mom Pirates on the left.
Comparing the two, the speed was obviously on Kirigakure's side.
After all, they were smaller in size, and after extracting chakra and entering the ninja academy, they had begun training in the Three Basic Jutsu and the ordinary Body Flicker Technique.
The technique of walking on walls was second nature.
Light as a swallow was also a characteristic of every ninja.
Except for the siblings of the Charlotte Family, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the high-ranking officials of the various ninja clans, all the pirates and mist ninjas charged at each other with killing intent.
Bang bang bang...
But these country bumpkin mist ninjas, although they had experienced the power of cannonballs, had not experienced the power of guns.
Although the guns of the Big Mom Pirates were not as advanced as those of the biggest arms dealer, the Donquixote Family, their smoothbore guns were also top-tier.
There were also several machine guns and dozens of sniper rifles.
Those with cold weapons were responsible for charging, while those with hot weapons fired from behind.
Pfft—!
With the sound of a gunshot, a bullet, whose speed was countless times faster than a thrown kunai or shuriken, immediately hit a mist ninja running in the front.
"Ahhhh..."
Although the bullet did not hit a vital part, the intense pain made the trained mist ninja let out a miserable scream.
Because the bullet that had hit him was a sniper bullet with powerful penetrating power.
The moment the sniper bullet entered his body, an arrow of blood shot out from his back.
A bullet that did not pierce through the body, but caused blood to spurt from the back, was the most painful.
This level of pain, even for a ninja trained to endure pain, was unbearable.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Be careful of those strange ninja tools! Everyone, use environmental ninjutsu immediately!"
Several giant streams of water appeared out of thin air, forming a giant, thick water wall that blocked the remaining bullets.
A mist jōnin wearing a flak jacket looked at the sniper hiding behind the pirates and immediately issued an order.
And so, hundreds of mist ninjas all used one of Kirigakure's signature ninjutsu.
"Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
The deep mountain land, which was already shrouded in a thick fog, instantly became a white expanse, making it impossible for both the Charlotte Family and Kirigakure to see each other.
"All cease fire! Those with Observation Haki, clear the way ahead!"
After their vision was completely blocked by the thick fog, Charlotte Daifuku gave the order.
The pirates, who had originally planned to deal with a batch of ninjas with hot weapons, could only put down their guns and draw the cold weapons on their bodies, preparing for a close-quarters battle with the ninjas opposite.
But, they had clearly underestimated this thick fog, which was transformed from chakra into the Water Release nature and then spread out.
