"Steel Bone Punch." Although Steel Bone Kong was surprised by this sight, he immediately decided to take action. He needed to test if this girl's ability was truly abnormal.
This move was his original martial art, an astonishing punch delivered by combining his inherent physique with the Rokushiki. He used Shave to increase his speed, while simultaneously using Iron Mass and Finger Pistol to enhance his defense and offense, respectively.
In other words, the power of this punch was not to be underestimated.
However, facing Steel Bone Kong's thunderous punch, Luna's expression remained calm; she even wore a composed smile.
She casually raised her hand and instantly released a layer of Conquerors Haki Barrier.
In an instant, a massive boom erupted, seemingly shaking the entire world. However, the seemingly indestructible fist, upon hitting the invisible barrier, was like striking a wall of bronze and iron, unable to advance even an inch.
Luna seized the advantage and counterattacked swiftly, letting out a soft cry: "Freezing Aurora!" Following this, she perfectly fused the powers of the Glint-Glint Fruit and the Freeze-Freeze Fruit, releasing a blue-gold beam of light.
The beam of light was like an agile flood dragon, carrying an aura of destruction, speeding toward Steel Bone Kong at the speed of light. Wherever it passed, the air was frozen, and space itself seemed about to be torn apart.
With a ripping sound accompanied by the sound of Freezing, Steel Bone Kong endured the pain, then immediately glanced over and saw it.
His shoulder had been pierced, and not just the flesh, but the bone as well, and it had been frozen solid both internally and externally.
The bone-chilling pain made him feel terrible.
But at the same time, he was truly terrified. It really was the rumored Conquerors Haki Barrier. Didn't that mean this girl's Conqueror's Haki was much stronger than his? Perhaps the only person who could surpass this girl, or at least contend with her, was likely that individual, the one hidden among the flowers.
"How dare you be so arrogant, you utterly detestable brat!"
Seeing that Steel Bone Kong was completely disadvantaged and Luna intended to continue her attack.
Saint Charloss immediately swung his sword, wrapped in powerful Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, descending like a fierce tiger, unstoppable.
"Arrogance requires capital, and I happen to possess it." Luna first gathered the dark red lightning representing Supreme King Haki Infusion and the super-strong golden lightning of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit into a single kick, sending Steel Bone Kong flying down like a clap of thunder.
Then, she quickly turned her head and gave Saint Charloss a cold smile, a smile full of contempt and disdain, as if mocking him for being nothing more than a running dog kept by the Celestial Dragons. What did he have to be proud of?
This action instantly enraged Saint Charloss completely; he was like a volcano about to erupt, furious beyond measure.
However, Saint Charloss's speed suddenly accelerated. Like a gust of wind, he instantly arrived before Luna and brought his sword down.
But Luna easily dodged using the Void Body technique, reappearing beside him like a phantom.
With a backhand move, she released Armament Hardening, giving herself a glove of Armament Haki as hard as steel.
Luna reached out without hesitation, not only effortlessly shattering the Haki on Saint Charloss's sword but also directly grasping his blade.
"What exactly do you want, girl?" Sensing that the situation was bad, his Observation Haki sounded like an alarm bell, transmitting a signal of danger. A trace of anxiety immediately welled up in Saint Charloss's heart, and even without him realizing it, his long-hidden fear quietly surfaced.
"Many swordsmen's strength is greatly reduced once they lose their favorite sword. I want you to try that too. Dark Thunderstorm Absorption," Luna said with a sly smile.
Then, a light sphere with a transparent center instantly appeared next to Saint Charloss, and at the same time, Magma immediately appeared in Luna's other hand.
"Boom, rumble..." After a heavy crash, even though Saint Charloss managed to use his Armament and Conqueror Two-Color Haki for defense, he was still struck back when facing the terrifying power of the Magma.
He was repelled, and naturally, the sword in his hand was also taken away.
It was grabbed by several blue-green arms that emerged from the light sphere and pulled into Luna's void space.
"Bastard." Seeing this scene, Saint Charloss could no longer maintain his composure, transforming into a resentful demon as he cursed venomously.
He knew that sword had been his old partner for many years, and it was one of the supreme grade swords. Now that it had been so easily taken away by his opponent, and he wouldn't be able to retrieve it anytime soon, how could he not be furious?
Steel Bone Kong on the side was also greatly astonished that Luna had so easily stolen Saint Charloss's sword.
At the same time, a feeling of apprehension and fear grew in his heart; this girl was indeed not someone they could handle.
To be honest, they were only trying to delay her, allowing the higher-ups to set up defenses and buying more time for the retreat of many Celestial Dragons.
Originally, he had planned to come alone, but Saint Charloss suddenly stepped forward and said he wanted to join him.
He claimed that as the leader of the God's Knights, he had to eliminate all elements unfavorable to the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. Moreover, Luna had already killed a Celestial Dragon, and she herself posed a huge threat to the World Government.
But after hearing this, and seeing the excitement and the "finally something to do" look in Saint Charloss's eyes at the time, Steel Bone Kong was speechless.
This clearly meant he hadn't fought in a long time and just wanted to go out and stretch his limbs, so why make so many excuses?
But the other party was, after all, his superior, whose status was much higher than his own.
He could only agree, and Steel Bone Kong was very clear about Saint Charloss's strength, which would definitely be a great help. This was also why he agreed.
But now, just as Luna had said before, especially for middle-aged and elderly powerhouses like them, their strength was already set. Now that Saint Charloss had lost the treasured sword he had used for many years, he had no weapon in hand. His strength would naturally decline significantly.
A powerhouse with a weapon indeed has a significant advantage over one without.
But without a weapon, it's like a tiger whose teeth and claws have been pulled out—it probably couldn't even defeat a wolf.
"Old man, your expression is asking for a beating, you know that?"
Seeing Saint Charloss's expression at this moment, Luna instantly became displeased.
Using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, she instantly appeared in front of Saint Charloss.
She laughed menacingly.
Then, she raised her hand and delivered a thunderous punch, combining Conqueror's Haki and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, striking Saint Charloss, who had instantly become horrified and was using Haki-infused crossed arms to block in front of himself.
Boom, rumble. Currents of golden yellow and dark red electricity streaked across the sky, as if they would tear through the entire heavens.
"Pfft...!!!"
