Is the opponent's Devil Fruit Ability really that terrifying? For such a powerful and unsolvable ability to fall into the hands of a Pirate is truly a great misfortune for the Marines.
The Pink Hat Pirates, especially Luna, will definitely be a major enemy of the Marines in the future, Momousagi thought instantly. In her eyes, the potential of the Pink Hat Pirates and the pressure they would bring to the Marines in the future would not be inferior to that of the Four Emperors.
"If you won't attack, then it's my turn. Gliza Beam."
Luna wore a wicked smile, and a golden light flashed in her eyes again. Several purple, lightning-shaped beams immediately blasted towards Momousagi.
Some came directly, while others took a wide curve, attacking Momousagi from different directions.
Initially, Momousagi could barely hold her sword and parry the attacks, but facing these lightning-shaped beams coming from different directions and generally at the Admiral Level, Momousagi slowly became overwhelmed and could only continuously parry and evade.
Ultimately, she couldn't hold on. She was struck by several beams, suffering serious, full-body injuries, and blood once again flowed from her mouth. She instantly froze in place, having been stunned, or rather, electrocuted.
"Gliza Vortex."
But how could Luna let this opportunity slip? She immediately released the Gliza Vortex. A massive sphere of Void Energy condensed and blasted towards Momousagi. Unable to dodge or escape in time, she was immediately hit.
After spitting up a large amount of blood, she was directly blasted away, crashing into a building.
Seeing this scene, and seeing their goddess in such a miserable state, immediately enraged the other Marines present.
"Fire!" Under the shout of an officer, the Marines, who had already formed a fan-shaped perimeter, immediately pulled their triggers. Smoke instantly poured from the muzzles of their flintlock pistols, and with repeated gunshots, a continuous stream of bullets was fired.
But why would Luna fear these tiny bullets? Especially since they were relics from the 17th century of her previous life. Through her training over the past few days, she realized she had underestimated Gliza's power. She was now pure Void, without any energy or mass.
She controlled the Void Energy within her body, letting it flow throughout. At this moment, she completely became nothingness. Under the horrified and disbelieving gazes of Tokikake, all the Marines, and the nearby civilians, the bullets passed directly through her body without causing any damage, as if Luna herself wasn't even there, like an illusion.
As Luna completely transformed into the Void, into nothingness—if her previous Void Body ability resulted in deflecting and evading attacks, including Space Distortion, then at this moment, Luna was absolute nothingness; she simply did not exist, which resulted in the current scene.
Both generations of Gliza in the Ultraman World actually possessed abilities like what Luna was currently demonstrating.
However, Gliza is a creature driven by instinct. Evading attacks and consuming energy became its natural reactions, leading to its combat performance.
Although the bullets did not hit Luna and passed right through her,
"Ahhh..."
"Damn it..."
Don't forget, the Marines were positioned in a fan-shaped perimeter. The Marines on the far sides naturally suffered, taking a significant number of casualties from being hit by the bullets.
Screams were continuous, and blood spilled everywhere.
Tokikake, seeing this scene, could no longer tolerate it and completely disregarded their previous plan.
He used Soru to appear in front of Luna, throwing a pitch-black punch imbued with Armament Haki.
Luna scoffed. Tokikake's initially enraged expression turned to shock; he had passed directly through Luna's phantom-like body and ended up behind her.
Luna immediately unleashed a Gliza Beam from behind. Tokikake, struck hard, was instantly sent flying. But it wasn't over. Luna had already locked onto his presence using Observation Haki. With a leap and a side flip, she brought a punch down onto Tokikake, who had fallen to the ground.
Her fist turned pitch black; clearly, she was now also using Armament Haki.
"Boom---"
Tokikake, who hadn't managed to stand up, was instantly struck on the back of the head by Luna's punch, making intimate contact with the ground. His head slammed violently into the earth. Luna, as if playing Whac-A-Mole, drove Tokikake's entire head into the ground.
Tokikake immediately vomited a mouthful of old blood. The injuries he sustained this time were even more severe than Momousagi's; he was currently suffering from a slight concussion.
This girl, despite being so young, was far too vicious in her attacks.
And her ability is too monstrous. Forget about the two of them, who are Vice Admiral Candidates; even an Admiral would have a difficult time dealing with this.
We can't hit her, and her defenses are impossible to guard against. To summarize it in one sentence: she is allowed to hit us, but we are not allowed to hit her.
But Luna had no intention of letting him go, or more accurately, letting these Marines go.
She grabbed Tokikake by the hair, lifted him out, and then sent him flying with a kick.
He crashed into a nearby building.
"Vice Admiral Tokikake!" The Marine Soldiers who witnessed this immediately panicked. Their gaze towards Luna turned into indescribable fear.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you all. Let me personally send you trash Marines on your way. Multiple Light Sphere Crush."
Luna looked at them with a cruel and evil smile. At this moment, she truly resembled Gliza.
Void Energy erupted once again. More than a dozen purple spheres of light emerged from inside her body and floated around her.
With a wave of her hands, the light spheres flew out. They either collided directly with the Marines or extended several light whips, instantly smashing the Marines to pieces. After several screams, flesh and blood splattered, corpses littered the ground, leaving the entire street and the area a gruesome sight.
"Ding, five minutes have passed. The host has completed the first mission."
The system's sudden notification instantly brought a smile to Luna's face, especially since nearly half of the Marines in front of her were already dead. It was supremely satisfying, like drinking iced cola while eating watermelon on a hot summer day.
"Bastard!" Suddenly, Momousagi, like a vengeful spirit, charged forward with her sword.
She arrived in front of Luna at an extremely fast speed. Looking at the female villain who had taken hundreds of Marine lives, Momousagi was filled only with rage and killing intent. Her full sword intent erupted, and she swung a strike imbued with Armament Haki.
But what good was anger? What good was a stronger attack? Even Luffy, the Child of Destiny, would be useless here. For her to try to fight the Void was simply wishful thinking.
A purple light flashed over Luna's entire body again, and she appeared at Momousagi's side. Looking at Momousagi, who was still mid-slash, Luna sneered, then shouted loudly. Imbuing her fist with Conquerors Haki Infusion, she threw a punch.
"Bang Boom..."
Visible black air currents and red lightning flashed, and Momousagi was blasted away by Luna's attack from a distance.
But it wasn't over. Luna used Space Distortion to instantly appear behind the airborne Momousagi. Imbuing her foot with Conquerors Haki Infusion, she kicked again, sending Momousagi flying higher into the air. Immediately using Space Distortion again, Luna flew into the sky and smashed the ascending Momousagi back into the ground with both fists imbued with Armament Haki.
She crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. Momousagi was severely injured by this combo attack, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood consecutively.
It was too fast, everything was too fast. She couldn't react at all. Observation Haki was useless; even if she predicted a fraction of the attacks, her body couldn't respond.
After that combination of moves, she could only lie in the crater, unable to move.
"Why must the Marines encounter such a formidable enemy?!"
Having personally witnessed Luna's terror and strength, Momousagi couldn't help but worry for the Marines. With such an unsolvable and invincible ability, what kind of strategy, power, or military force would the Marines need to take down Luna?
"Ahhhh!!!!"
But suddenly, she heard several screams coming from outside and personally saw beams and spheres of light flying through the sky. She was startled at first, then immediately furious.
She recognized them as the screams of Marines. Luna was clearly slaughtering the Marines again.
"Does this person have some deep-seated hatred for the Marines? To be so ruthless?"
Since she was unable to move, Momousagi could only give a bitter laugh. At the same time, she truly didn't understand. They had come specifically to deal with Luna, yet Luna's preemptive attack had completely shattered their previous plan.
Whether dealing with her and Tokikake, or the Marine Soldiers, Luna was extremely ruthless, acting as if she held some deep grudge.
At the same time, she felt truly helpless and confused. Normally, it was the Marines who actively sought trouble with Pirates; when did Pirates start actively annihilating the Marines?
Especially the way Luna looked earlier, it was as if she wished to kill every single one of them.
While she was thinking, Luna had already finished off the Marines, excluding Tokikake. The former group had been wiped out by her. These Marines who came from Headquarters were generally not good people and deserved to die. Moreover, she now stood on the side of the Pirates, destined to be an enemy of the Marines, and she would not show mercy to her foes.
As for Tokikake, she had merely beaten him severely, knocking him unconscious. He and Momousagi held high status and power within the Marines. They were far more valuable than the expendable Marine Soldiers.
Luna had already taken the dedicated Marine transponder snail from the unconscious Tokikake, along with the monitoring and projection transponder snail used for live recording at the scene. Soon, she could use the transponder snail to call the Marines and demand a ransom for their return.
Thinking of this, Luna felt overjoyed, especially since the second mission was also complete and the reward was secured.
She immediately knocked out Momousagi, who was still in the crater, and then used the monitoring transponder snail to record the tragic scene of Marine corpses littering the ground, soaked in blood.
She then took the two of them back to the Pirate Crew and locked them up. She planned to return to the town immediately and find a restaurant for a good meal to celebrate her victory.
