Chapter 151: Luna Voluntarily Exposes Her Weakness
"Clang—!" In yet another sword clash, Borsalino immediately used Armament Haki to repel Kuina, then came to Garp's side.
"Mr. Garp, are you alright?" Borsalino asked with a worried expression, but at the same time, he was shocked that Luna could block Mr. Garp's full-power attack, which used both Armament Haki and Haoshoku, with just two fingers.
And afterward, she grasped the timing of the battle perfectly, directly hitting Mr. Garp's chest and sending him flying.
But such a feat was accomplished by a 17-year-old Little girl, which filled him with shock and disbelief.
However, at this moment, Borsalino was more concerned about Garp.
"Hahaha, I'm fine, Borsalino. I won't fall or get hurt just from one punch from a Little girl." Garp, who immediately stood up like a tall pine tree, laughed heartily, looking like he was still in very good condition.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Although he was old, he was still the Navy's hero Vice Admiral, Iron Fist Garp.
Hearing this, the Navy side, as well as the Marines watching the live broadcast, all breathed a sigh of relief, including Luffy and Dragon.
On the pirates' side, it was basically a chorus of curses, saying that the old man was really tough.
But the next words Garp spoke were no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake for the entire Pirate World.
"But what's hard to believe is that this girl's Armament Haki has developed to a realm that even I haven't achieved."
Garp said immediately with a bitter smile.
Rumble!!!
However, everyone present and watching the live broadcast was basically stunned, their faces full of disbelief.
Because his words were tantamount to telling the whole world that he admitted it.
Luna's Armament Haki realm had already surpassed Garp's.
But how was this possible? Garp's Armament Haki was basically recognized as the strongest in the world.
Even many top-tier veteran powerhouses had to admit that even Pirate King Roger and the sea overlord Rocks back then couldn't compare to Garp in terms of Armament Haki.
But now, he was surpassed by a 17-year-old Little girl. Even though he was old now and not at his peak, many people were unwilling to admit it, especially the Navy.
The Three Admirals were stunned, and Crane and Sengoku's eyes were somewhat hollow. And in Mary Geoise, the former Fleet Admiral, current Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces, Steel Bone Kong, his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten that stuff. The Gorosei were all silent, wondering what they were thinking.
"She actually surpassed the old man." In the White Soil Land, Dragon's face was also full of disbelief.
There was no need to mention the pirates; they were shocked and disbelieving, but no matter what, Luna, who had now arrived on the ice, undoubtedly became the focus of the entire scene.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Luna, with her picturesque, elegant, and noble demeanor, extended her finger, which was like a piece of white jade, lightly stroked her golden hair, and said with a confident and teasing expression:
"It's no wonder you're known as a Navy hero; you really do have some insight."
After she finished speaking, she was also willing to show it off. So, to the astonished eyes of many, a black short sword, formed by Armament Haki, quickly appeared on Luna's hand.
"This...how is this possible? How can Armament Haki condense into a weapon?"
Borsalino said with a look of horror, voicing the question of many people.
Even the Three Admirals of the Navy on the warship and the Pink Hat Pirates were astonished.
Even The Girls couldn't have imagined it. Luna had actually cultivated Armament Haki to some supreme realm. Of course, not all of The Girls, the otherworldly companions, all twitched their mouths.
They really wanted to blurt out, "Do you understand what a cheat is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Armament Hardening. I really didn't expect you, a Little girl, to cultivate it."
------------------------
Chapter 152 But it was clear that Garp recognized it, and he said with a solemn expression.
But it was clear that Garp recognized it, and he said with a solemn expression.
"Oh my, I didn't expect it to be recognized." This time it was Luna's turn to be surprised, but thinking about it, it made sense. Haki was originally a thing of the Pirate World, and it was normal for Garp, as one of the strongest, to have some understanding. But this also proved that in the Pirate World, it was estimated that someone else had mastered Armament Hardening, at least in the historical years before.
As for whether anyone currently possessed it, Luna couldn't say for sure, after all, there were still the Gorosei whose strength was unknown, and Imu whose strength was unfathomable.
But with her Void Ability, she wasn't afraid of these guys. No matter how strong these guys were, they couldn't transcend the rules of the Pirate World and couldn't deal with her, who possessed the rule power of the Ultraman World.
Moreover, she only needed a trigger, or a huge amount of energy, to enter her third form. At that time, she would be invincible. After all, Gliza in its third form, as long as it passed the short stage of [existence], was completely invincible at its level, and even the needle of the universe couldn't easily deal with it.
The same was true for her, who possessed the Greeza Template.
"Hahaha, you Little girl, you really are extraordinarily talented. You actually mastered Armament Hardening. It is said that this special application of Armament Haki can condense intangible Armament Haki into tangible objects, which are so-called weapons. Armament Haki inherently increases attack and defense, and this will once again greatly enhance it, and it also has more powerful effects."
Garp laughed heartily, and at the same time, he was very shocked that it was indeed Armament Hardening.
And many of the audience and powerhouses watching here, under Garp's explanation, learned about the power of Armament Hardening and understood Luna's current strength.
But at this moment, on the warship behind him, someone was already stirring.
This was a small conspiracy against Luna, but the next words Luna spoke almost enraged the entire Navy.
"Without such power, how can I achieve my small goal? To slaughter all of you Marines, from top to bottom," Luna said with a cold sneer.
"Arrogant." Akainu on the warship said angrily, and immediately unleashed his ultimate move, Great Eruption, a giant magma fist flying towards her.
Luna welcomed any energy or attack that came her way, as she needed to accumulate more energy to enter her third form. She immediately used Gliza Absorption, and the golden absorption barrier instantly absorbed the giant magma fist.
But suddenly, as a golden light flashed, a figure appeared above and behind her. It was Admiral Borsalino.
"Little girl, don't boast at such a young age. Have you ever tried Light Speed Kick?" A long, golden, shimmering leg, condensed with golden light, was kicked over by Kizaru.
That's right, this was the Navy's conspiracy. They had long planned to use Kizaru's light speed to deal with Luna's Void Ability. This idea had been decided before they even arrived.
At this moment, seeing Kizaru about to land a kick, countless Marines, whether Garp, Borsalino, or the other two Admirals, all the Marines present.
And at Marineford, Sengoku and Crane, and other Navy High Command, and even Zephyr, who were watching the live broadcast.
Plus Steel Bone Kong and the Gorosei in Mary Geoise, they all watched this scene with anticipation, hoping it would succeed.
Many pirate powerhouses, seeing this scene, also understood the Navy's intentions. They were also very curious whether Luna would be kicked, or even sent flying, and if light speed could harm the void.
Or would Luna once again be immune to the attack? Would light also be unable to overcome the void?
The next moment, the answer was revealed. Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.
Kizaru's originally complacent expression also turned to horror, because Luna just stood there, but her body seemed like a projected illusion, and Kizaru kicked right through her.
But the real reason for his horror was that Luna immediately turned around, and the Armament Haki short sword in her hand slashed up, targeting Kizaru's crotch, between his legs.
Damn it, the Little girl doesn't play fair, and you little brat, what kind of twisted thoughts are in your head now?!
Kizaru was already terrified. Not to mention that any normal man would be scared of this scene, as that part was about to be gone. Moreover, this was a short sword condensed from Armament Haki, so his Elementalization was useless.
He immediately unleashed his full power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, instantly disappearing from his spot and reappearing to the side, his feet on the ice.
But at this moment, cold sweat was already running down his forehead, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with his incredibly fast speed, unleashed at full power, no one should have seen what just happened. After all, a Admiral who almost lost 'that part' would be utterly humiliated if word got out.
If it had, he would rather commit suicide on the spot. Ahem, no, he would rather resign on the spot and live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, because his accumulated salary over the years would be enough for him to live a good life for a while.
But thankfully, no one had seen it. However, the Navy side was already utterly disappointed, their faces pale and powerless.
This was useless. Even Kizaru's light couldn't deal with Luna's void.
People from other forces were also extremely cautious, wondering what they should do if they encountered Luna.
But many people were cursing inwardly, why was there such a monstrous Devil Fruit? The void was immune to any attack, and some people had already cursed out loud, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Because they saw Luna actually...!
"The power of light is very strong, but unfortunately, my void is a rule power. After eating the Gliza Devil Fruit, a god-named Devil Fruit, my existence is as if this world has an extra crack out of nowhere, which can be called the'Space-Time Rift.'"
"But all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining. When this crack of mine appeared, a power specifically designed to deal with me also appeared, which is the needle that can stitch this crack of mine back together, named the needle of the universe."
"Only this power called the needle of the universe can truly harm me, even if I have entered a state of nothingness."
