Is This Ability a Bit Too Cheerful?!

"The young master instructed the two of us to keep an eye on them..."

Hovering in mid-air, Buffalo stared at the crowd below and said, "So, are we just going to do nothing now?"

Of course not.

baby5 said, "At least we need to find out where Caesar is first!"

Although she thought Doflamingo deserved to die, a mission is a mission!

Therefore, she needed to first ascertain Caesar's condition.

"Then we'll need to go take a look further ahead." Buffalo glanced in the direction Merry and the others had just left and said, "I wonder if those people went to find Caesar."

If they are also searching for Caesar, then we need to act quickly.

With that in mind, Buffalo decided to take Baby 5 there to take a look.

Before he could even make a move, he heard Baby5 behind him say, "No need to go over there, I've already found Caesar."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Buffalo's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Where?"

If we could find Caesar ahead of time, that would be wonderful!

This also saves a lot of trouble.

"He's over there with the Straw Hat Crew." Baby5, peering through her weapon's scope at the situation below, squinted and said, "It looks like he's been handcuffed with Seastone Handcuffs."

As she spoke, baby5 carefully examined the Seastone Handcuffs on Caesar's hands, then nodded in agreement.

That thing was indeed Seastone Handcuffs.

"No wonder Caesar couldn't escape," Buffalo said. "He was captured by Sea Stone."

That makes sense.

Then Buffalo said, "What should we do? Should we make a move?"

Now that it's confirmed Caesar has been captured, we can't just do nothing.

This time, baby·5 didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced at the Den Den Mushi whose call had already been ended.

"The young master is already on his way here, so all we need to do is make sure these guys don't escape," baby5 pondered.

This will also ensure that Caesar is not harmed to the greatest extent possible.

"Alright, then we..."

Before Buffalo could finish speaking, he saw something flying up from below, which made him stop talking.

"Um?"

What is that?

"What's wrong?" baby5 asked, puzzled.

"Something flew up here!" Buffalo's pupils contracted. "It's moving very fast!"

Upon hearing this, Baby's expression immediately changed.

Have they been discovered?

Thinking of this, baby5 immediately looked down, intending to see what was rushing up.

"That was... a person?"

"Hala hala hala~"

Perona, now airborne, smiled at the two people in mid-air and said, "Hello~"

"Cut..."

baby·5 spat out a curse; it seemed impossible to hide in the air.

"Baby 5, what should I do?"

"They've already attacked, what else can we do?" Baby5 raised her weapon, aimed it at Perona, and said, "Of course, we take her down!"

Now that we've been discovered, there's nothing more to say. Let's take care of this reckless woman first!

As for those people below?

Just use the Arms-Arms Fruit to launch an attack from the air!

"Then let's kill her!" Buffalo shouted.

As he spoke, his eyes turned fierce, clearly indicating that he did not intend to let Perona leave alive.

"Kill me?"

Perona said, "You can give it a try."

As she spoke, Perona glanced at the weapon in Baby 5's hand and became secretly on guard.

Because she wasn't sure if the object was Sea Stone weapon, she needed to take precautions in advance.

"Then go die!" baby5 shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the trigger of the weapon in her hand without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a deadly shell flew from the muzzle, heading straight for Perona in mid-air!

Search~

"Varied...?!"

Baby5 was completely stunned as she watched the cannonball pass through Perona's body without any hindrance.

Why didn't the shell explode after passing through the opponent's body?

Does the other party not have a physical form?

Logia?

Buffalo looked shocked and exclaimed, "What's going on?!"

Why are Baby·5's weapons malfunctioning?

"Hala hala hala~"

"Now you know Lihai I am, right?" Perona said with a smirk.

Very good, it has now been confirmed that the opponent is not using Sea Stone weapon.

So... now it's her turn!

Hala hala hala~

As if she had just thought of something, excitement gradually appeared in Perona's eyes.

"Are you Logia?!" baby5 asked quickly.

Upon hearing this, Buffalo's face immediately turned ugly.

If the opponent is Logia user, then the two of them will be completely helpless.

After all... neither of them is Haki.

"Hala hala hala~"

"I'm not some Logia Fruit user," Perona said proudly, raising her head. "I'm the Ghost Princess who ate the Spirit-Spirit Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, baby5 breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't Logia.

Then, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Spirit-Spirit Fruit?

What kind of ability is that?

Why is it immune to artillery shells?

Buffalo then asked, "If it's not Logia, why can it ignore cannonballs?"

"Because I'm a ghost!" Perona said with a smirk, "I can ignore any physical attack!"

"Impossible!"

Baby5 replied without hesitation, "How could someone who isn't Logia user be immune to all physical attacks?"

That's a trait only possessed by Logia Fruit users.

This time, Perona offered no explanation, only giving the two of them a smile.

That look seemed to say: Believe it or not, I'm not interested in explaining it to you anymore.

Seeing this, baby·5 gave up asking any further questions and decisively threw the weapon aside, since it was just scrap metal without shells.

Then, her body transformed into a giant scythe.

"Weapon Transformation: Sickle Woman!"

"Buffalo!"

"Profound!"

Knowing what she was going to do, Buffalo immediately flew backward, putting some distance between himself and Perona.

He then turned to look at Perona, and simultaneously swung the chains to grab Baby 5's hands.

After doing this, his body began to spin rapidly with Baby·5, thus giving it tremendous kinetic energy!

"Come and savor this move!" Buffalo shouted, "Spinning Sickle Woman!"

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, Buffalo, spinning to its limit, was flung out and headed straight for Perona in mid-air.

However, Perona didn't even flinch in the face of such an attack, simply watching the two launch their assault with an unchanged expression.

Seeing this, Baby5 felt extremely displeased.

'What an arrogant guy...'

In that case, let this bastard pay the price for his arrogance!

As Perona drew closer, a chilling killing intent flashed in Baby5's eyes.

Then, the scythe transformed from Baby·5 slashed fiercely at Perona's body!

"Whoosh~"

"Varied...?!"

Seeing Perona pass through again without any hindrance, a look of horror immediately appeared in Baby5's eyes.

Why was this attack also ineffective?

After forcibly grabbing the chains to steady herself, Baby 5 turned to Perona and shouted, "Damn it, why are you still alright?!"

Is the opponent truly immune to all physical attacks?

That's so unfair!!!

Buffalo's expression wasn't much better, because this meant their attacks would be ineffective!

"Didn't I just say that?" Perona said with a smirk, "Any physical attack is ineffective against me!"

She was very considerate and explained her abilities to both of them.

Hearing Perona's words, Baby 5's expression turned even uglier.

I initially thought she was just bluffing, but it turns out it really was what she said?

How can we fight like this?

"Baby 5, what should we do?" Buffalo asked, his face grim.

Judging from the current situation, the opponent's abilities are sufficient to render them immune to both of their attacks.

What should we do?

baby5 remained silent, instead calmly considering a solution.

After a moment, she said, "We can't have any effective influence on this person, so..."

"Buffalo, let's go find the young master!"

There's no point in staying here any longer, since they can't effectively harm this woman, so they have to retreat first.

"Ah?"

"Are we just leaving?" Buffalo asked, dumbfounded.

The young master specifically instructed them to stay here and keep an eye on these people. If they leave, wouldn't that allow them to escape?

That would mean any kind of failure!

He knew all too well the consequences of failure...

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go," baby5 said.

This woman has only demonstrated 'invincible' defensive capabilities so far, but her attack methods are still unclear, so we must leave.

"All right..."

Although he didn't know why Baby5 said that, Buffalo still chose to believe his companion and turned to fly away.

"Did I say you could leave?" Perona snorted.

Although she didn't know who the young master they were talking about was, she decided to leave these two behind to avoid trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates!

With that in mind, Perona unhesitatingly released a number of Exploding Ghost.

"Try this move!"

Exploding Swarm!

The next moment, those Exploding Ghost flew towards Baby 5 and Buffalo at incredible speed!

"Um?"

"What the hell is this thing?"

Back on Buffalo's back, Baby 5 looked at the approaching ghosts with suspicion and uncertainty.

This thing looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.

Thinking of this, Baby5 didn't hesitate to turn her hands into two large cleavers, and then fiercely slashed at the several flying Exploding Ghost.

"Die!"

"Whoosh~"

"Buzz~"

"Varied...?!"

Baby 5 was stunned once again as she watched the ghost pass through the weapon.

Why is this thing also immune to her attacks?

"Hey, what's that clinging to me?" Buffalo glanced at the Exploding Ghost clinging to him and said, "Baby 5, get it off me!"

Although he didn't know what it was, he instinctively felt that it was dangerous.

So... it's best to remove it as soon as possible.

"I'm already doing that, but I can't touch them," baby said, her face pale.

While Buffalo was speaking, she had already tried to kick him with her long legs, but she couldn't even touch the translucent guy!

"It's happening again..." Buffalo gritted his teeth, then turned to Perona and shouted, "What the hell have you done, you bastard?"

"Of course, I'm giving you some nice things!"

After saying that, Perona slowly raised a finger and then said, "Everyone, today's fireworks have been delivered~"

"Burst!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

The next moment, the Negative Ghost clinging to Baby 5 and Buffalo exploded, sending the two of them billowing smoke.

"Forehead..."

Feeling the intense pain in her body, baby 5's face immediately turned pale.

That translucent thing... it can actually explode?

This ability is absolutely disgusting!

Buffalo, who had taken the brunt of the attack, was covered in blood and his body plummeted uncontrollably towards the ground below.

"Hala hala hala~"

"Now you know how powerful I am, right?" Perona said, hands on her hips.

Faced with Ghost Princess, the enemy has absolutely no chance of escape!

Hala hala hala~

"Perona's pretty capable, huh?" Usopp chuckled.

To think they defeated the enemy so quickly! No wonder she's Ghost Princess!

However, the thought of how he had once defeated the Ghost Princess made Usopp smile even more.

Hey~

The more skilled this guy is, the more skilled he is, right?

"Is it resolved?" Nico Robin asked.

No.

Xi Yan, who had been watching the battlefield intently, said, "Although Perona's attack left those two covered in blood, it didn't knock them unconscious."

Upon hearing this, Nico Robin's eyes immediately showed surprise.

He was hit by Perona's attack and still hasn't lost consciousness?

Those two seem to be among the more formidable enemies.

"Damn it... I never expected to get beaten up like this by this guy..." Baby5, who was falling rapidly with Buffalo, said with a grim face, "This was a real miscalculation."

"Buffalo!"

"Is he still alive?"

"He's...he's still alive..." Buffalo said.

Although his body was covered in blood from the explosion, he was at least conscious.

"Then let's figure out a way to escape," baby5 said. "I'll cover for you."

This time, Baby5 has given up on the idea of attacking Perona with powerful weapons, since the opponent is immune to all physical attacks!

So... this time, she's going to use Smoke Screen!

If they can buy Buffalo enough time, they can successfully escape to the sea!

In this way... they can wait for the young master to reunite with them!

That will be the end for these guys!

With that thought in mind, Baby5's gaze hardened.

"Buffalo, prepare for action!"

"I... I understand!!"
