"Ding, detecting special circumstances. The following tasks will be assigned to the host."
"Severely beat Akainu, making him question life, bloody, and horrible to behold, rewarding two Observation Haki Awakening Cards and two armament haki awakening cards."
"Let the Marines experience what true humiliation is, rewarding one time training house and three secret manuals."
"A special emphasis on the reward for the second task: the time training house. After entering, one can cultivate. One day inside equals one month outside; the flow of time is different, with the speed inside being slowed down significantly. Furthermore, there are many training contents inside, such such as the Gravity Training Room, where gravity is used for cultivation, and the Simulation Training Room, which can simulate powerhouses identical to those in the Pirate World for one-on-one combat training, along with other features."
"Then there are the three secret manuals, which include weapon usage methods and specialized physical technique manuals."
However, he did not need to make the first move, as Luna had already come knocking, especially after hearing the new tasks.
"Leave the red dog to me, and you all handle the other Marines as you see fit. In short, protect the pirate ship, protect our pirate flag, and of course, the most important thing is yourselves."
Luna laughed loudly and said, activating Gliza's power, and she immediately flew into the air.
"Marines, I knew what you were planning all along. Since this is the case, take this move first: Gliza Evil Sound."
After speaking, a mischievous smile appeared on Luna's face, and she immediately launched her attack. Dazzling golden light erupted from her eyes, making her stand there like a brilliant golden star.
But quickly, a soul-stirring purple ultrasonic ray emanated from her body—an ultrasonic attack, to be precise. The sound, like the holy bell of a cathedral, was deafening and incredibly loud.
The Marines below the warship immediately felt terrible; their eardrums were vibrating painfully. Many Marines couldn't help but cover their ears, and some were already rolling on the ground in agony. The warship was filled with screams.
Fortunately, Luna's mastery over the gliza template's power had reached a higher level, otherwise this move would have been an indiscriminate attack, affecting Crocus, Laboon, and her crewmates.
Even Akainu and Tsuru were naturally affected, feeling dizzy throughout their heads.
"Damn it, she actually has a large-scale sonic skill like this," Akainu growled fiercely, forcing himself to bear the dizziness.
"Sakazuki, hurry and attack! Some Marine Soldiers can't hold on much longer; people will die if this continues," Tsuru finally couldn't help but cover her own ears, shouting loudly toward Akainu beside her.
"I know! Damn it, how dare she attack first! Don't get too arrogant, you wretched little pirate girl!" Akainu roared, enduring the sickening ultrasonic attack, and immediately flew up using Moonwalk.
Looking at Luna in front of him, Akainu immediately used a move developed from his Magma-Magma Fruit, the Great Eruption. His right hand continuously condensed Magma, finally forming a gigantic lava fist that struck out toward Luna.
"Energy Light Shield." Seven blue light spheres of varying sizes flew out from Luna's body and blocked the attack in front of her.
The incoming giant Magma fist was immediately blocked. The Magma's terrifying high temperature and explosive force were not unleashed at all; instead, they were directly crushed by the light spheres and absorbed.
The blue light spheres then drilled back into Luna's body. This scene left everyone, including Akainu, utterly incredulous.
"How is this possible?"
He was completely dumbfounded. His prideful move, Great Eruption, a terrifying and immensely powerful giant Magma fist, was just crushed and absorbed like that?
"Hahaha, Uncle red dog, are you inviting me to dinner? I must admit, the taste of Magma is actually quite good."
Luna laughed mockingly.
Possessing the gliza template, her specialty was absorbing energy. As long as the energy wasn't over the limit or too unique, everything that came would be absorbed, becoming nourishment for her growth and advancement of the template progress.
Of course, the bit about the taste of Magma was a lie; it was purely teasing and mockery.
"My codename is Akainu! Meteor Volcano!" Hearing this, Akainu was instantly enraged. As he spoke, he immediately clenched both fists toward the sky, releasing a massive amount of scorching Magma. This Magma formed fists in the sky and rained down like meteors.
But Luna merely repeated her trick, using the Energy Light Shield once more. Blue light spheres of various sizes flew out from her body again, this time in greater numbers than before. They all flew out, intercepting and absorbing all the Magma fists raining down from the sky.
After drilling back into Luna's body, they once again fiercely increased her energy. Luna wore a sweet, highly contented smile.
"Hahaha, Red is Aka, Aka is Red. Dog is Inu, Inu is Dog. Is there a difference between red dog and Akainu?"
Void Energy erupted from Luna's body. While speaking in a teasing tone, a purple light flashed across her, and she instantly appeared in front of Akainu.
She clenched one hand into a fist, an aura of near-solid blackness combined with red lightning—Conquerors Haki Infusion. Luna threw a punch.
"Boom—" A tremendous sound rang out, as if to shatter the sky and tear Space Distortion apart. Even though it was broad daylight, a bright flash occurred. At the epicenter of the intense light, a figure was instantly sent flying backward: it was Akainu.
He had been blasted away by Luna's punch. In terms of power and effect, Conquerors Haki Infusion was no worse than Armament Haki's internal destruction and external emission, and it could similarly inflict substantial damage on Logia Type Elementalization users.
Gliza's speed, combined with a certain amount of Space Distortion, was already capable of instantaneous movement. Akainu had been somewhat stunned by Luna's rhetorical question, so when Luna's Conquerors Haki Infusion punch came, he didn't even react, resulting in him being blasted away.
Akainu quickly stabilized himself in the air, but this sneak attack heavy punch still caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Wretched pirate girl." Humiliated and heavily injured, Akainu was enraged, and he launched another Great Eruption, sending a giant Magma fist flying.
"Gliza Absorption." Dark Thunderstorm Energy, derived from Void Energy, manifested, forming a golden barrier in front of Luna, giving the illusion that it could absorb anything.
Just like water being quickly drawn away by a pump, Akainu's giant Magma fist was absorbed directly by the golden energy barrier, flowing away like water.
"What? Is this all an Admiral is capable of?" Luna said dismissively as she deactivated the move.
"Stop looking down on me, you wretched pirate!" Akainu said furiously, his eyes nearly red. After repeated failures, Akainu knew that long-range attacks were useless, so he decided to try close combat.
"Nether Hound." After approaching Luna at close range, his completely Magma-transformed arm stretched out and struck.
Void Body.
The passive skill activated. Luna easily dodged the attack as purple light emanated from her entire body.
Then, she immediately countered with an Armament Haki-infused kick to Akainu's chest, forcing him back.
She then fired a Gliza Beam, a bolt of lightning-like light that struck Akainu at close range.
Although he quickly used both fists augmented with Armament Haki to block, he was still knocked back.
"Hah—" Akainu roared, immediately using force in both fists to shatter the beam of light.
"Dog Bite Crimson Lotus."
"Multiple Light Sphere Crush."
Akainu counterattacked. The Magma fist he launched instantly transformed into a ferocious dog head in the air, looking lifelike and ready to bite.
Luna used Multiple Light Sphere Crush. Light whips extended from the light spheres, instantly shattering the Magma dog head.
Luna raised her hand and waved. These light spheres flew toward Akainu and exploded upon nearing him. With a rumbling sound like lightning streaking across the sky, Akainu was engulfed in the flames of the explosion.
But suddenly, a figure flew out. Many parts of Akainu's body had transformed into Magma, clearly indicating he had used Magma Elementalization to escape.
"Double Nether Hound." Both fists simultaneously turned into Magma. Akainu charged up again like an arrow leaving the bow, continuously throwing punches at Luna, but she still easily evaded them using Void Body, with purple light radiating from her.
"Hey, are you alright? Are you suffering from kidney deficiency? Do you want to stop and drink a cup of wolfberry tea to recuperate?" Luna said mockingly.
"Hahahaha." The girls on the pirate ship all burst into laughter upon hearing this.
In contrast, the Marines, including Tsuru, all wore grim and awkward expressions.
Of course, Momousagi and Tokikake from the Marine side had already been taken down to rest and recuperate.
"Hahaha, this Little girl is truly interesting." Crocus was stunned after hearing this, then immediately couldn't help but laugh loudly as well.
But at the same time, he was more surprised by how strong this Little girl was; she already possessed the strength of an Admiral or Emperor.
Most importantly, he had heard of this Marine Admiral; he was extraordinarily powerful, yet so far, he hadn't inflicted even a scratch on this Little girl.
What exactly was the ability of this Little girl? Suddenly, he grew curious.
"Could it be that even Devil Fruit Ability is useless?" Tsuru said in a tone of horror upon seeing this scene.
There was nothing they could do. Garp's physical techniques and Haki were useless, firearms and weapons were useless, Momousagi's swordsmanship was useless, and now even Sakazuki's Devil Fruit Ability, the Magma-Magma Fruit, was useless. Could she truly be immune to all attacks?
If that were true, the Marines would be in serious trouble.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't hit you." Completely angered by her words, Akainu's rage fully erupted, and he lost his reason. He simultaneously threw out two Dog Bite Crimson Lotus punches, creating two Magma dog heads.
But this time, Luna completely turned into Void. Akainu's previously furious expression turned to horror as she passed right through him.
"Gliza Vortex." Attacking from behind, a massive red-purple energy sphere struck Akainu directly in the back like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
