"Rumble — Boom —!" This move was truly too sudden and unexpected, especially since the Navy still didn't realize that Luna could launch energy attacks directly from her back. Flames of explosion rose up, and accompanied by a large amount of white sparks, Akainu was directly blasted away.
"Aaaah —! Damn it!" Akainu couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood, crying out in pain. He could feel that the injury on his back was severe; a large section of the cloth on his back had been completely incinerated, leaving the flesh bloody and raw, intensely painful as if it had been burned, or bitten by ten thousand insects.
It was truly too sudden. He could only barely perceive through Observation Haki that Luna was actually able to launch energy attacks from behind her.
At the same time, he was shocked that all of this girl's energy attacks were basically Admiral or Emperor level; their destructive power and offensive capability were extremely strong.
But that wasn't what truly shocked him. Akainu endured the intense pain from this latest blow, immediately stabilized himself in the air, quickly used Moonwalk several times to maintain flight, and then instantly turned to look at Luna.
"Devil Fruit Ability, is my Magma useless against her?" This blow and the intense pain caused Akainu's rage to subside, allowing his rationality to return.
Thinking back on all their previous exchanges, Akainu's expression turned grim, and he gritted his teeth.
Because he was now extremely clear that the Void Ability of this hateful Pirate girl seemed truly capable of nullifying all attacks—at least, his Devil Fruit Ability couldn't touch her.
"Damn it, how did such a monstrous Devil Fruit end up in the hands of a pirate?" Thinking this, he couldn't help but curse aloud.
Nonsense! The enemy could hit him, but he couldn't hit the enemy. This was too painful, too frustrating, and too shameless!
Mythical Zoan Model: Void Demon God Gliza. The ability of this Devil Fruit was too monstrous, too unsolvable.
Akainu thought this internally, but this claim was actually a deception intentionally spread by Luna. Her power originated from the gliza template, not a Devil Fruit.
But even though it was only the gliza template, not representing the full, peak power of Gliza from the Ultraman World, its arrival in this Pirate World meant that Devil Fruit powers couldn't even compare. The two were fundamentally incomparable; an egg cannot shatter a rock.
"How can this be? Is it truly this unsolvable?" Staff Officer Tsuru also spoke, filled with shock.
Devil Fruits were useless against Luna's ability; her attack immunity held true, at least against the Magma-Magma Fruit. But how many Devil Fruits in this world were stronger than the Magma-Magma Fruit, a top-tier Logia Type Devil Fruit? Those with vastly different abilities were also few and far between.
As for her Wash-Wash Fruit, although it was a special ability Devil Fruit, it was likely useless too. Furthermore, Luna's Haki was extremely powerful; her Haoshoku alone was enough to completely resist her washing ability.
"Why is this happening? Heaven is unfair! Why must the Navy face such an unsolvable powerhouse?" Thinking this, Staff Officer Tsuru gave a miserable laugh and cried out mournfully in her heart.
At this moment, Staff Officer Tsuru couldn't help but feel sorrow for the Navy, unable to see a future, and she cried out.
Because, as mentioned before, the Navy was currently facing a talent gap, yet look at the Pink Hat Pirates before them. Leaving aside the captain, Luna, the other girls were also exceptionally gifted or possessed powerful Devil Fruits. In the future, they would be, at the very least, Reserve Admirals, or even Admirals.
But Luna was the most critical factor. If they couldn't find a way to deal with her, the Navy would be suppressed by Luna everywhere, especially given that Luna had already demonstrated at least Admiral or Emperor level strength.
Meanwhile, the other Marines naturally couldn't grasp the full implications, but seeing the Admiral Akainu, whom they were so proud of, constantly suppressed—having fought for so long, suffering numerous injuries both large and small—while his opponent remained completely unharmed, with comparable stamina consumption, they felt like the sky was falling.
Their perception that the Admiral was invincible and capable of clearing all obstacles for the Navy was shattered.
At this moment, they were somewhat stunned, somewhat broken.
"The Girls, prepare to move."
And on the Pink Hat Pirates' pirate ship, Luna's companions seemed restless, preparing to strike.
But now, in the air, Luna sneered again and actively engaged Akainu. This time, she was getting serious, seemingly venting all the hatred she held for the Navy, both in her past life and the present, especially targeting Akainu, who was absolutely the most hated among the Marines she disliked.
Of course, there was one other person in the Navy she intensely disliked, comparable to Akainu, but he hadn't joined the Navy yet.
Luna used Gliza's abilities like a maniac, sometimes simultaneously activating two or even three abilities to launch attacks.
Furthermore, her Observation Haki and Armament Haki had also improved. Her Observation Haki was already capable of allowing her to see glimpses of the future, and regarding Armament Haki, she had reached the level of Ryou, capable of internal destruction.
However, that was not her limit. Luna could still increase the power and mastery through further training and combat.
For example, Haki consumes stamina. The consumption of Haki is like a bowl of water: you cannot splash it all out at once. You must learn to conserve, taking only what you need, and drawing back the excess water.
Luna was able to master these special Haki techniques so quickly thanks to watching One Piece in her previous life, where she specifically studied Haki training, such as Silvers Rayleigh's training of Luffy, Katakuri, Hyogoro, and Kaido's teachings.
Now that she had arrived in the Pirate World and was experiencing it firsthand, coupled with Rocks' bloodline within her and the slight effect of the gliza template, she was able to achieve such rapid and powerful mastery of Haki.
Utilizing all Three Types of Haki, Observation Haki allowed her to predict the next move. Armament Haki and Haoshoku were used for aggressive close combat, while Gliza's abilities handled long-range attacks. She gave up on defense, relying completely on her Void Body and Space Distortion.
This instantly put Akainu in a miserable situation. Originally, he could counterattack, but now he was forced into a purely defensive stance.
His injuries grew more numerous, and his exhaustion of stamina and energy became increasingly severe.
Akainu didn't even know how many mouthfuls of blood he had spit out. Akainu was truly frustrated now; he wanted to cry, he wanted to vomit.
Damn it, he had never fought such an unsolvable battle. Why did he have to encounter such an eccentric opponent?
At the same time, he realized that because Luna could absorb his Magma ability, her stamina consumption was negligible, almost zero.
The thought of this made Akainu feel even more stifled.
But now he had no choice but to desperately fend off Luna's attacks. This battle could only continue this way, with Akainu being fiercely suppressed by Luna.
"Snow Woman Aurora." But suddenly, everyone, including Akainu and Luna, shifted their gaze slightly.
They then saw Nojiko, who had entered her Snow Woman Form, condensing Freezing energy in her mouth and unleashing a Freezing beam.
The Freezing beam struck the seawater, instantly turning a large area of the ocean into solid ice.
"Sisters, let's go! Let them know how powerful we are."
"Oh!"
Kuina, acting as the first mate, took the lead in giving the command. Simultaneously, she drew her demon blade thousand blades and was the first to leap onto the ice surface.
The other girls cheered excitedly and followed closely behind.
Nojiko, Kaya, Carmen, and Shino Asada could all fly. Nojiko's ribbons fluttered and snowflakes danced around her, allowing her to fly in the air.
Carmen had Phoenix wings, Kaya had Angel wings, and Shino Asada had Lightning wings, all giving them the ability to fly. In terms of speed, they were all faster than Nojiko, but in terms of close-range agility, Nojiko surpassed them.
Kuina, Shiro, and Deya ran across the ice surface.
The entire crew of the Pink Hat Pirates, seven members in total, immediately rushed towards the Navy Warships.
Staff Officer Tsuru was instantly alarmed, never having expected events to escalate so quickly, and that these girls would actually launch an attack against them.
"Fire the cannons! Quickly, fire! Don't let them get close!" One of the Navy officers immediately ordered in a panic.
At this moment, the Navy Warships were broadside to The Girls who were approaching. Following the officer's command, several cannons on the side and lower half immediately fired.
Dark, round cannonballs hurtled towards Kuina and the others like runaway wild horses.
But how could these cannonballs trouble The Girls? Especially Deya, who wanted to show off. She smiled slightly and instantly teleported to appear in front of all The Girls.
She said, "Sisters, leave this to me. I'll show you my ability now: Space Displacement."
Deya waved her hand, activating the power of the space gem. The cannonballs instantly vanished into the spatial ripples, but quickly reappeared above the Navy Warships.
"All Marines, focus on defense and evasion!" Staff Officer Tsuru's expression instantly changed.
She immediately shouted anxiously, but it was too late.
The cannonballs shot out of the spatial ripples, emerging from the space like earthworms digging out of the soil, and finally, like raging wild oxen, they struck the warships below.
The cannonballs pierced the wooden decks and then exploded. Smoke and explosive flames rose, and loud screams erupted from the warship. Many Marines were severely injured, and some had even been killed by the blast.
Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used as bait, the Navy was severely damaged by the very cannonballs they had fired.
"Damn it." Seeing this scene, Staff Officer Tsuru couldn't help but curse, especially when she saw that the enemy had already boarded their warship.
They were slaughtering the Marines on the deck.
Staff Officer Tsuru could only grab her cane and charge forward, but she was intercepted by Deya. Although Deya's current strength was only slightly inferior to Kuina and Shiro, relying on her miraculous Space Ability, she was able to fight Staff Officer Tsuru, who was of Vice Admiral level, back and forth.
This immediately allowed her to fight Staff Officer Tsuru, who was of Vice Admiral level, back and forth. As for the other Marines, they were naturally no match for Kuina and the others, resulting in a one-sided slaughter.
Crocus watched the scene with great interest, and the whale Laboon did too.
