Kizaru stood not far away, his expression unchanged.
He had already witnessed Perona's actions at Marineford.
An attack of that magnitude could not possibly harm her.
The dragon didn't stop either.
He raised both hands at the same time.
The clouds above quickly gathered.
A strong wind lifted up large swaths of dark clouds, and lightning flashed continuously within them.
" Wind and Lightning Strike!"
A hurricane erupted from between the dragon's palms.
The lightning was swept up by the gale, forming a huge pillar of wind and thunder.
Boom!
A pillar of wind and thunder pierced through the clouds and struck Perona head-on.
The allied forces below retreated.
A Marine Vice Admiral raised his blade to protect his body.
"Everyone, keep your distance!"
Don't get involved!
Several pirates were a step too slow to dodge.
The warship was instantly torn apart by wind and thunder.
The people on the boat had just jumped up when they were struck by lightning and plummeted into the sea amidst black smoke.
Perona raised her hands.
Dozens of white ghosts burst out of her body.
Ghosts gathered in mid-air.
World-Breaking Level Armament Haki then covered it.
"Ghostly Divine Vacuum Attack!"
Perona pushed her palms forward.
Dark fist shadows erupted simultaneously from the ghost's body.
Boom boom boom!
The fist's shadow collided head-on with the pillar of wind and thunder.
The lightning strikes from the outer perimeter were dispersed first.
Immediately afterwards, the spinning hurricane exploded from the middle.
The wind and thunder attack unleashed by the dragon lasted only a few breaths before being completely shattered by the fist shadows.
The remaining force of the punch pierced through the turbulent currents and continued to bombard the dragon.
The dragon's body transformed into a whirlwind, instantly moving hundreds of meters backward.
The fist struck empty air.
A huge hole was punched in the clouds.
Rayleigh looked up at the two men locked in combat.
"The power of the Dragon Fruit has far surpassed ordinary Awakening."
Kizaru said in a deep voice:
" Perona is stronger than she was during Paramount War."
As the two spoke, a large number of ghosts poured out of Perona's body.
Some of them are still the original Negative Hollow.
Many more ghosts, however, possessed the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Perona raised her finger.
Soul power was infused into the ghost's body.
The illusory ghosts quickly solidified, transforming into Homies with physical forms.
Hundreds of emotion ghosts scattered, mingling with the shattered gale, and pounced on the dragon from all directions.
The dragon had just regained its balance when it saw the ghost already standing before it.
He raised his hand, creating a gust of wind.
" Wind Wall!"
A thick wall of wind blocked my way.
The ordinary ghosts were pushed away by the strong wind.
A dozen or so of them, however, passed right through the Wind Wall and burrowed into his body.
The dragon looked down at its chest.
"Soul ability?"
"It's too late to realize this now."
Perona clenched her fingers.
The emotional ghosts that had entered the dragon's body erupted simultaneously.
Anger, fear, sadness, and despair assaulted his consciousness in succession.
The power of the fruit within the dragon's body immediately fluctuated.
The raging wind that had been swirling around his body also went out of control.
Several wind blades swept past his arm, cutting rips in his clothes.
The dragon gritted its teeth.
He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, attempting to shatter all the ghosts.
Black and red lightning struck the ghostly spirit.
Several of them disappeared on the spot.
The remaining ghosts, protected by the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, continued to interfere with his emotions.
Perona has arrived in front of the dragon.
Her right fist was covered in World-Breaking Level Armament Haki.
A physical Ghost Clone attached itself to the arm, its soul power continuously compressing within.
"Ghostly Explosion!"
The fist struck the dragon squarely in the chest.
The physical ghost attached to Perona's arm exploded simultaneously.
boom!
The explosion spread between the two men.
Large swaths of clouds were torn apart.
The dragon's body transformed into a blur, flying backwards from the sky.
Several powerful allied soldiers along the way hurriedly gave way.
A warship that had flown high into the sky was unable to turn around in time and was struck head-on by the dragon's body.
boom!
The bow of the ship was smashed to pieces on the spot.
The entire warship broke in half.
The dragon continued flying backward for several hundred meters before being caught by a gust of wind.
"Dragon Leader!"
Sabo immediately shot into the air.
Perona raised her hand and waved.
Dozens of ghosts blocked Sabo's path.
Sabo had no choice but to stop, covering the steel pipe with Armament Haki and knocking away the attacking ghosts one after another.
Kizaru also transformed into golden light, preparing to approach.
Momousagi drew the Konpira, and a sword aura blocked his way.
Borsalino.
"Don't interfere."
Kizaru reformed his body.
" Gion, you're really showing no mercy now."
Momousagi did not answer.
Konpira has already been covered by World-Breaking Level sword intent.
Kizaru dared not proceed further.
In the distance, a dragon flew out from the shattered hull.
His clothes were torn apart by the explosion.
However, there was no wound on his chest.
There was no significant decrease in the body's energy level.
A fierce wind swirled around him.
The emotional ghosts that had just invaded the body were being forcibly expelled by an even stronger fruit power.
Perona sensed his presence and showed surprise for the first time.
"You're not injured?"
The dragon raised its palm.
The scattered air currents around them stopped at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, all the gale force converged into his palm.
The wind and thunder power that had just been scattered by Divine Vacuum Attack quickly reformed.
Perona stared at the fruit aura that was constantly spreading within him.
That power has surpassed ordinary Awakening.
It's not just about standing at the extreme level.
It has broken through the original limitations of this world.
" World-Breaking Level?"
Perona said:
"Your Devil Fruit has actually been developed to the World-Breaking Level?"
The people below reacted in various ways upon hearing this.
The four Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army were taken aback at first, then their faces lit up with joy.
"The Dragon Leader has also mastered a power that World-Breaking Level!"
"No wonder he dared to challenge Perona himself!"
The remnants of the navy also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their biggest worry was that no one could stop Perona.
Now that Dragon has displayed Devil Fruit of World-Breaking Level, it at least proves that the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is not without a chance of victory.
Rayleigh's expression, however, did not relax.
He had always believed that the dragon's power, World-Breaking Level, would come from Armament Haki.
Just like Garp.
But what truly propelled Long to a breakthrough was his Devil Fruit.
This was the first time Rayleigh had ever seen Devil Fruit User World-Breaking Level.
Perona was also encountering this kind of opponent for the first time.
She originally thought that the dragon's ability to reach the World-Breaking Level was due to the Haki legacy inherited from Garp.
In hindsight, her judgment was wrong.
Dragons do not rely on Armament Haki.
Rather, it's the Devil Fruit that can control storms.
Perona quickly regained her composure.
The Hollow-Hollow Fruit and Soul-Soul Fruit within her body were operating simultaneously.
Two Awakening forces intertwined.
The Three Types of Haki then erupted.
Black and red lightning bolts pierced through the clouds.
His entire body was covered in World-Breaking Level Armament Haki.
Observation Haki allows one to pinpoint every change in the dragon's airflow.
Uchiha Xin developed each Devil Fruit to its Awakening before handing them over to his family members.
His own Devil Fruit, however, is still just one step away from breaking through the barrier.
But Devil Fruit were never the true core of Uchiha Xin.
The Eye of the True God.
The Body of the Extreme Path.
Power of the Extreme Path.
That was the true power that allowed the master to subdue this world.
Dragon possesses Devil Fruit of the World-Breaking Level, making him indeed stronger than expected.
But that wasn't enough to instill fear in Perona.
"So what if it's World-Breaking Level?"
