One after another, physical ghosts appeared behind Perona.
"I'm just missing a worthy opponent."
The dragon pressed both hands down.
At the same time, strong winds covering the surrounding sea area raged.
Dozens of tornadoes rose from the clouds, sealing off Perona's surroundings.
Perona raised her finger.
The physical Ghost Clone charged out towards the tornado.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions rang out one after another.
The tornado was blasted apart.
More strong winds followed from the outside.
The dragon transformed into a gust of air, passing through the explosion and instantly appearing behind Perona.
A hand, imbued with the power of a storm, struck her back.
Perona turned around beforehand.
Their fists collided.
boom!
The World-Breaking Level Armament Haki and World-Breaking Level Devil Fruit power erupted simultaneously.
The dragon retreated dozens of meters.
Perona was also pushed away by the strong wind.
She had barely regained her balance when the wind blades were already upon her.
Perona raised her hand and crushed the wind blade.
Taking advantage of the raging wind, the three Emotional Ghosts pounced on the dragon's head.
The dragon transformed into a storm and dispersed.
A ghost passed through his body.
The next moment, he reformed at a higher position.
"Your power is not inherited from the D. Clan."
The dragon stared at Perona.
Her background had already been thoroughly investigated by the Revolutionary Army.
Perona has no relation to the D. Clan.
She was just an ability user under Gecko Moria in the past.
Even with a decent fruit talent, one should never reach this level in such a short time.
Dragon originally guessed that Uchiha Xin was a descendant of the D. Clan.
That man possessed an ancient heritage from eight hundred years ago, which enabled him to break through the world's limits time and time again.
But Perona's existence completely overturned his judgment.
She does not have the blood of the D. Clan.
However, it possesses World-Breaking Level Three Types of Haki.
Both the Hollow-Hollow Fruit and the Soul-Soul Fruit Awakening.
The dragon wanted to know exactly where her power came from.
Perona had already rushed in front of him.
"You dare to talk nonsense during a fight?"
Ghost Clone, covered in Armament Haki, surrounded them from both sides.
The dragon immediately unleashed a storm.
Perona punched through the gale, her other hand already pressed against his chest.
The dragon transformed into a hurricane and retreated.
Perona, leading hundreds of ghosts, gave chase.
Fist shadows, lightning, wind blades, and ghostly explosions collided once more. On the other side of the battlefield, golden light and sword energy clashed in succession.
Kizaru transformed into a beam of light, passing over Momousagi's head.
Dozens of light bullets fell simultaneously.
" Yasakani no Magatama!"
Boom boom boom!
The light bullet covered the area where Momousagi was located.
The clouds were pierced, and the explosions spread out in one continuous burst.
The nearby members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance hurriedly retreated.
" Admiral Kizaru is getting serious!"
"She can't possibly block all of those attacks!"
"Look, she's still there!"
The explosion subsided.
The Momousagi stood still, the Konpira still clutched in its hand.
Darkness churned beneath her feet.
The light orbs that landed around her were all devoured by the Dark-Dark Fruit.
A few beams of light pierced the darkness, striking her shoulder and abdomen.
But as soon as the wound appeared, blue flames rose from the flesh.
In a short while, all injuries were completely healed.
The Phoenix wings behind Momousagi unfolded.
Darkness and blue flames simultaneously enveloped his body.
Kizaru re-coalesced in mid-air.
He looked at the unharmed Momousagi, his voice still drawn out.
"That's really scary."
" The Dark-Dark Fruit negates the attack, the Phoenix Fruit heals the wounds."
" Gion, you're more troublesome than Marco and Blackbeard combined now."
The Momousagi lifted up the Konpira.
You can keep trying.
Kizaru raised a finger.
Golden light gathered at his fingertips.
" Laser!"
The beam of light shot out instantly.
Momousagi did not dodge.
Darkness rose from in front of her, forming a vortex.
The beam of light entered it, but without even an explosion, it was forcibly absorbed by the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Kizaru moved continuously.
Beams of golden light shot in from different directions.
Momousagi just stood there.
Darkness enveloped the surroundings, neutralizing most of the attacks.
Even beams of light that penetrate the darkness and strike the body will be quickly repaired by the blue flames.
As long as Kizaru's attacks cannot exceed the limits of the two Awakening abilities, he cannot truly harm her.
Several nearby remnants of the navy turned pale upon seeing this.
" Admiral Kizaru's attacks were all ineffective?"
"Doesn't the Dark-Dark Fruit cause more pain?"
"She also has the Phoenix Fruit!"
A World Government ability user said in a deep voice:
Both types of fruit Awakening.
"She has an almost indestructible body."
Kizaru also noticed this.
Continuing to use Laser attacks is just a waste of energy.
He didn't approach immediately, but instead looked at the Konpira in Momousagi's hand.
" Gion, we were once colleagues, after all."
"Are you really going to help Uchiha Xin kill all the Marines here?"
Momousagi did not answer.
Kizaru continued:
" The Fleet Admiral Sengoku is dead."
" Garp is dead too."
Neither Sakazuki nor Kuzan survived.
"You, Admiral for admiral, have betrayed your country and joined the forces of those who killed them."
"Wouldn't this be considered betraying the Navy?"
Upon hearing these words, several remaining naval personnel also gripped their weapons more tightly.
" Vice Admiral Momousagi!"
Why should we pledge allegiance to the Thunder Emperor?
"He destroyed the Marine Headquarters!"
Have you forgotten the Fleet Admiral Sengoku?
Momousagi glanced at them.
"I haven't forgotten."
Kizaru sighed.
"Since you haven't forgotten, it's not too late to turn back now."
" The Emperor-Slaying Alliance has gathered top fighters from the Revolutionary Army, the remnants of the Navy, former members of the Four Emperors, and the World Government."
" Uchiha Xin is not on Sky Island."
"As long as you capture this place, you can still return to the Navy."
Momousagi's gaze returned to Kizaru.
"Back to the Navy?"
"Good."
Kizaru spread his hands.
"Although headquarters is gone, the Navy has not completely disappeared."
"As long as you survive, you can always rebuild."
Momousagi said coldly:
"And then continue to serve the World Government?"
Kizaru did not answer.
"Continue watching the Celestial Dragons capture slaves?"
"Continue to protect those kingdoms that oppress the common people for the sake of the Heavenly Tribute?"
The Momousagi gripped the Konpira tightly.
"What's the point of rebuilding a navy like this?"
Kizaru shook his head.
"It seems you've been deeply influenced by the Thunder Emperor."
"No way."
"The only way to deal with a naval traitor is to take action."
Momousagi laughed upon hearing this.
Borsalino.
"Anyone here can call me a traitor to the Navy."
"You're the only one who's not qualified."
For the first time, Kizaru's expression changed.
"What's the meaning?"
"Should we continue pretending?"
Momousagi raised her sword and pointed it at Kizaru.
"You've already formed an alliance with Monkey D. Dragon."
"Dragon left the World Government and established the Revolutionary Army."
"You stay inside the navy and relay intelligence for him."
"For so many years, you've been the Revolutionary Army's spy planted in the navy."
"The one who truly betrayed the Navy is you."
The remaining naval forces nearby were all stunned.
"Is Admiral Kizaru a member of the Revolutionary Army?"
"Impossible!"
"He's Marine Admiral!"
