The ghosts exploded simultaneously inside the barrier.
World-Breaking Level Armament Haki erupted from within, causing large cracks to appear in the transparent barrier on the spot.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders felt a tightness in his chest, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
" Hollow-Hollow Fruit..."
He looked up and stared at Perona.
"Your Hollow-Hollow Fruit has reached the World-Breaking Level?"
"You only just realized that?"
Perona's fingers twitched slightly.
More ghosts emerged from behind her.
Some of the ghosts even emanated soul power from within their bodies.
That aura caused the Big-Bearded Five Elders' expression to change drastically.
"What kind of power is this?"
Perona did not answer.
The ghost passed through the barrier and drew close to his body.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders raised their hands and threw a punch.
The fist had barely touched the ghost when it was evaded by the power of the soul.
The ghost passed right through his arm and burrowed into his chest.
The next moment, a violent soul shock erupted within his body.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders swayed.
" Soul-Soul Fruit?"
He recognized the power.
That was originally Charlotte Linlin's Devil Fruit.
How did the Soul-Soul Fruit end up in your hands?
Perona raised her right hand.
A ghost coiled around her arm, its black Haki and soul power compressing simultaneously.
"That's not important."
She threw a punch.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders hurriedly activated the barrier.
The fist passed through the transparent barrier, but the barrier itself was not broken.
The World-Breaking Level Armament Haki, capable of covering the fist's edge, still pierced through the barrier and struck his chest head-on.
Click!
Fractured sternum.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders coughed up blood and flew backward.
He crashed through the tower and slammed heavily into the rubble.
"Both the Soul-Soul Fruit and the Hollow-Hollow Fruit have reached the World-Breaking Level?"
He looked up at Perona in the air, and for the first time, his eyes widened in shock.
This situation was beyond his comprehension.
It is extremely rare for a person to possess two Devil Fruit.
Perona not only possesses two Devil Fruits, but she has also developed both powers to the World-Breaking Level.
What exactly did you go through?
Perona landed in mid-air.
"You guess."
She didn't tell the Big-Bearded Five Elders the truth.
The ten years in the Tsukuyomi: Illusion World were known only to her and Uchiha Xin.
Only one minute had passed in the outside world.
However, in the Illusion World, she had already trained with Uchiha Xin for a full ten years.
He achieved breakthroughs in the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, Soul-Soul Fruit, and all Three Types of Haki during those ten years.
When she fought Uchiha Xin, she could never see her own limits.
Uchiha Xin's power was too great; she simply couldn't judge how much weaker she was.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders before him were different.
This opponent is far weaker than Uchiha Xin.
It's perfect for testing new powers.
Perona deliberately restrained her attacks.
On several occasions, she was clearly able to shatter the opponent's barrier directly, but at the last moment she withdrew some of her power.
She even pretended to be almost blocked, prompting the Big-Bearded Five Elders to continue activating the fruit.
"Very good!"
The Big-Bearded Five Elders rose from the ruins.
He thought he had seen a chance to win.
"Your power is indeed strong, but you cannot break through my barrier!"
Perona charged again.
Her fist landed on the barrier, and the black Haki caused the barrier to shake violently.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders are desperately trying to maintain the barrier.
"It's blocked!"
He laughed through gritted teeth.
You're nothing special!
Perona's fist stopped outside the barrier.
She looked at the Big-Bearded Five Elders and a smile played on her lips.
You're so easily fooled.
The next moment, dozens of physical ghosts emerged from inside the barrier.
Their bodies were all filled with World-Breaking Level Armament Haki and Soul-Soul Fruit power.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders' expression changed drastically.
When will you...?
Perona snapped her fingers.
"Burst."
boom!
The barrier exploded completely.
The voice of the Big-Bearded Five Elders was swallowed up by the explosion.
From a distance, Robin watched this scene and said softly:
" Perona is really cunning."
Uchiha Xin nodded.
"She's using the Five Elders as a test opponent."
Robin turned her head, a smile on her face.
"I will pass this message on to Perona."
Uchiha Xin glanced at her.
You can give it a try.
I will definitely say it.
Uchiha Xin didn't continue the conversation.
He looked up at the Holy Land Mary Geoise ahead.
The sacred site, composed of towers, walls, and palaces, still has a large garrison gathered there.
The Five Elders have been held back.
However, the World Government has not yet revealed all its cards.
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand.
"Everyone, listen to my command."
The sound echoed throughout the entire Sky Island.
The Thunder Emperor Corps and Sky Island Warriors, who were engaged in battle, stopped simultaneously.
Uchiha Xin looked towards the sacred site.
"Launch the general offensive."
"Take Holy Land Mary Geoise."
"Crush the power of the Celestial Dragons."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky Island warriors responded in unison.
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed toward the edge of the Sky Island at the same time.
Robin raised his hands.
The power of the Float-Float Fruit spread rapidly, transforming into a protective barrier that covered the entire island.
The warriors who rushed out of the Sky Island felt a lightness in their bodies.
They don't need to use Geppo immediately; they can glide using the barrier's power.
The warriors who jumped from the Sky Island formed several lines and swooped down toward the walls of the holy city.
This force can be maintained for several minutes.
That's enough for them to land safely.
The Thunder Emperor Corps followed closely behind.
Lightning surged above the Divine Palace.
Streaks of Inazuma fell from the clouds, lifting up the legionary warriors one by one.
They were enveloped in Thunderbolt, transforming into streaks of lightning that headed straight for the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
" Thunder Emperor Corps, attack!"
Tashigi drew her longsword.
The members of the Thunder Emperor Corps charged out simultaneously.
Dozens of streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, moving at speeds far exceeding those of ordinary gliders.
The Holy Land had already taken precautions.
The alarms on the city wall kept blaring.
Large numbers of defending troops rushed out from all directions.
The turret was turned around.
The Navy and the World Government's ability users stood at the forefront.
Immediately afterwards, a dense crowd of people poured out from behind the walls of the holy city.
They wore uniform combat attire and carried knives, guns, and cannons.
Someone ascended into the sky using Geppo.
Someone manipulated Devil Fruit to soar into the sky.
Some people stood on the city wall, exuding a powerful and Haki.
The strength of this garrison far exceeds that of an ordinary navy.
Even the weakest among them possesses combat strength at the level of Marine Headquarters Captain.
Most of them reached the Commodore rank.
Their total number is as high as two or three hundred thousand.
With such a massive army appearing simultaneously, the entire perimeter of the holy site was covered in figures.
The Sky Island warriors fell from the sky and immediately collided with the defending troops.
Blades, lightning, and flames erupted simultaneously.
As soon as a Sky Island warrior landed, he was surrounded by more than a dozen guards.
He raised his hand and released Lightning Release, a large amount of lightning striking the crowd.
Dozens of defenders fell on the spot.
But someone immediately stepped in to fill the gap.
More defenders rushed out of the city walls and charged towards the Sky Island Legion.
Members of the Thunder Emperor Corps descended from the sky.
They formed a group of five, unleashing lightning and Ninjutsu simultaneously.
boom!
A section of the city wall was blasted apart head-on.
The defending troops' formation was broken.
However, a large number of people continued to emerge from behind the city wall.
For the first time, the World Government's army displayed its true scale.
