Uchiha Xin, of course, knew exactly what she was thinking.
Perona actively pursued Kaido to Totto Land, Kaido was only one of the reasons.
What she truly coveted was Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit.
The Hollow-Hollow Fruit can create ghosts.
The Soul-Soul Fruit can extract souls and then inject those souls into objects.
Once the two abilities are combined, Perona's control over the soul will inevitably be enhanced once again.
It's understandable that she wouldn't want to let go of the opportunity at hand.
"There's no need to rush to deal with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin."
Uchiha Xin said:
" Kaido has already been defeated once."
"He hid in the Totto Land only to save his life with Charlotte Linlin's help."
Even if the two of them team up, they can't change the outcome.
Perona looked up.
"But what if they run away?"
"They can't escape."
Uchiha Xin answered without the slightest pause.
" Kaido injured and will not be leaving Totto Land for some time."
Charlotte Linlin has run this place for many years and won't give up Whole Cake Island easily.
"Finish the Paramount War first."
"I'll end the Four Emperors' power struggle after that's over."
"Neither Kaido nor Charlotte Linlin will be spared."
Perona immediately asked:
"What about the Soul-Soul Fruit?"
Uchiha Xin looked down at her.
"It'll be yours sooner or later."
Perona's lips were about to curl into a smile, but she forcefully suppressed it again.
She released Uchiha Xin's arm, crossed her arms, and turned her head away.
"Snort."
"I just think the Soul-Soul Fruit and the Hollow-Hollow Fruit are a good match."
"It's not like it's absolutely necessary."
"Since Master wishes to go to Marineford, then let's go there first."
Despite her nonchalant tone, she noticeably increased her speed as she floated.
Several Negative Hollow also gathered around.
The Soul-Soul Fruit will be hers sooner or later.
That one sentence alone made all her hard work in pursuing Totto Land worthwhile.
Uchiha Xin didn't expose her.
He looked at Tashigi and the twenty Sky Island warriors.
"Prepare to leave."
Tashigi immediately gripped the hilt of the knife.
"Yes."
The twenty Sky Island warriors quickly converged.
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
" Divine Transference."
The space unfolded beneath everyone's feet.
The coordinates left in advance on the Thunder Emperor responded accordingly.
The next moment, the island and the Whole Cake Island waters disappeared from everyone's sight.
When the space stabilized again, the sound of the waves reached my ears.
Uchiha Xin landed on the deck of the Thunder Emperor.
Perona and Tashigi followed closely behind.
Twenty Sky Island warriors also appeared at the stern.
But just as everyone landed, a shell flew in from the side.
"Fire!"
A member of the Thunder Emperor Corps spoke up to offer a reminder.
Several people nearby raised their hands at the same time.
Lightning shot high into the sky and struck the artillery shell head-on.
boom!
The shell exploded on the outside of the Thunder Emperor.
Before the flames and metal fragments could fall, the lightning net had already blocked them all.
Perona turned to look at the sea.
Several Marine warship are surrounding the Thunder Emperor from both sides.
All the cannons on the ship were already fired.
A large number of naval personnel stood on the deck.
Several of them were wearing Justice Coat, clearly indicating they were not ordinary soldiers.
"Navy?"
Perona frowned.
"How dare they launch a preemptive attack on the Thunder Emperor?"
Uchiha Xin also somewhat surprised.
The markings on the Thunder Emperor are very obvious.
The sails bear the image of the Thunder Emperor, and the ship has undergone several modifications.
It would be difficult to find another ship similar to this one on the high seas.
Since the navy dared to approach proactively, they couldn't possibly fail to recognize our identities.
Nami quickly walked out from behind the ship's wheel.
"You're finally back."
"We are heading to Marineford as you ordered."
"They encountered this naval fleet en route, and without issuing a warning, they opened fire immediately."
Uchiha Xin looked towards the battlefield.
Who is leading the team?
" Zephyr."
Nami pointed forward.
Outside the Thunder Emperor, a purple figure was fighting Hancock.
Zephyr was tall.
Her short purple hair had been dyed white.
His right arm was fitted with a huge mechanical Battle Smasher, which was also equipped with Seastone.
Each swing produces a dull, explosive sound.
But he never gained the upper hand against Hancock.
Hancock paused in mid-air using Geppo.
She simply raised her hand and unleashed lightning, forcing Zephyr to constantly dodge.
Lightning bolts struck again and again.
Zephyr's right arm armor showed signs of charring.
His shoulder was also grazed by lightning, and blood flowed down his arm.
" Marine Guerrilla Unit?"
Uchiha Xin quickly recognized the flag behind Zephyr.
Nami nodded.
" Zephyr has withdrawn from the Navy's core."
"This team is Pirate Guerrillas that he specially assembled."
"They've been hunting down pirates in the New World."
"They must have targeted us after discovering the Thunder Emperor."
Perona snorted coldly.
" The Thunder Emperor's fame has spread throughout the seas."
"Didn't he know this was the owner's ship?"
The name "Thunder Emperor" was something Perona actively promoted.
She once had Donquixote Family's intelligence network leak information to the outside world.
This ship belongs exclusively to Thunder Emperor Uchiha Xin.
All the crew members on the ship were women under the command of Uchiha Xin.
After the news spread, the Thunder Emperor quickly became famous.
Many young girls, upon hearing that the crew members on the ship could gain power and travel the seas with the Thunder Emperor, developed the idea of Thunder Emperor.
The Navy attaches even greater importance to this.
The branches in various regions had already memorized the appearance and markings of the Thunder Emperor.
Ordinary warships could see it from afar and dared not approach.
Zephyr, however, initiated the attack.
Nami shook her head.
Of course he knows.
"He only made his move after recognizing the Thunder Emperor."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zephyr's furious roar came from ahead.
"Boa Hancock!"
"You, a member of the Shichibukai, willingly become Uchiha Xin's subordinate!"
"The Navy should never have acknowledged your identity in the first place!"
Zephyr swung the robotic arm.
A massive Battle Smasher crashed down on Hancock.
Hancock did not back down.
Armament Haki covered his calves.
She kicked out, the tip of her shoe landing squarely on the robotic arm.
Bang!
The outer armor of the Battle Smasher is concave inward.
Zephyr's body was also kicked back dozens of meters by this kick.
He used the Geppo technique repeatedly before he could barely stop.
Hancock retracted her right leg.
" The Shichibukai?"
"I no longer care about that kind of status."
"I belong only to my husband."
Zephyr gripped the robotic arm tightly.
His chest heaved, and his breathing became rapid.
The fight just now had exhausted him.
His aging body could no longer withstand prolonged intense fighting.
He reached for his clothes, took out the medicine, and put it in his mouth.
His breathing returned to normal after the medicine took effect.
A member of the Marine Guerrilla Unit shouted nervously:
"Teacher Zephyr!"
"Stop!"
"Your body has reached its limit!"
Another person also tried to dissuade them.
"That woman's strength exceeds the intelligence!"
"Continuing the war is pointless!"
Zephyr did not retreat.
"Shut up!"
"I haven't fallen yet!"
