Chapter 161: Carmen and Dia join the battle; the Navy is in dire straits.
He was confident in his raw strength and believed he could defeat Luna, but if she used her Void Ability to become immune to damage, he was certainly not her match. No, if there were no corresponding counter-measures, no one in the current world could defeat Luna.
Because her Devil Fruit ability was extremely rare, possessing a super-strong rule-based power.
However, despite how abnormal this ability was, he was confident he could block all of Luna's attacks. If not, he would evade them. He just needed to stall Luna.
After all, in their original plan, Kizaru's light speed was ineffective, and Luna herself had stated that her only weakness was the needle of the universe, which was born in space.
In this current battle, Kizaru was already being held back by the other two girls of the Pink Hat Pirates, so he needed to stall Luna to buy time for other fights. But now, it seemed the situation on all battlefields was not good.
Even five Vice Admirals, leading many Marine Soldiers, couldn't suppress the so-called Bei Group.
Moreover, let alone the situations with red dog and Kizaru, even with Aokiji and Borsalino, things weren't looking good.
The overall strength of the Pink Hat Pirates had greatly exceeded what the Marines had anticipated.
But what puzzled Garp now was why Luna wasn't going all out; she was fighting as if she were playing.
Of course, there was also the question he had just asked: Shiro's performance was now astonishing everyone, truly making him curious.
"She's just an old friend I knew," Luna replied immediately after thinking. "She knew I was going to be a pirate and was willing to help me, and she also believes that by following me, she can achieve her dreams."
Then she immediately unleashed several Gliza ultimate moves at Garp, and the two began fighting again. Garp used his Iron Fist and Two-Color Haki to continuously shatter Luna's fierce attacks.
"It seems their relationship is not ordinary," Garp thought with a wry smile. It was a pure friendship, which made it difficult to turn her. Because, truly, whether it was her strength or her research capabilities, he was genuinely envious of this Shiro for the Marines.
But now, it seemed there was no hope.
The battlefield was simply shifted back to that side.
"Your Magma is like taking a hot bath to me."
After saying that, Shiro immediately unleashed the energy contained within her armor, sending red dog flying.
"Galactron Cannon Stream." Shiro extended her other hand, pointing the finger-mounted machine guns and the small cannons on the back of her hand at red dog. After energy converged, she unleashed a large amount of red and yellow destructive light beams at him.
The powerful laser cannon fire struck red dog, causing immense power. A large amount of smoke and flames from the explosion immediately appeared.
red dog was instantly sent flying.
"Damn it, the power is so great that even Elementalization is almost useless!" red dog, with some smoke rising from his body and his clothes scorched and damaged, couldn't help but curse angrily.
The firepower was too intense. Of course, what angered him even more was Shiro's earlier remark, comparing his Magma temperature to bathwater.
"Great Eruption." red dog immediately unleashed another scorching Magma giant fist, blasting towards Shiro.
"Heh heh, mere tricks." Shiro sneered, directly splitting it in half with an axe. As a golden light flashed, with a whoosh, the Magma giant fist, split into two halves, flew to her sides.
Eventually, they struck two ice spike pillars, one far and one near, melting them away and even melting the ice surface below.
"What!" red dog, seeing this scene, including Kizaru who was already engaging Kaya and Shino Asada again, was shocked. Of course, so were some spectators.
Not only strong in defense, but also not low in combat power?
"Heh heh, I keep strengthening my equipment. Of course, not only has my defense improved, but the attack power of my equipment has also increased. Can't you even tell something so simple? You really are a red dog."
But at this moment, Shiro once again mocked red dog.
"Bastard, my codename is Akainu! Nether Hound."
------------------------
Chapter 162 In red dog's horrified gaze
Greatly angered, almost to the point of fainting, red dog once again threw a Magma fist, but Shiro easily blocked it with one palm. She immediately used Armament Haki and grabbed red dog.
"Red is Akainu, Akainu is Red, agreed. Inu is dog, dog is Inu, also agreed. red dog and Akainu mean the same thing, so what's wrong with me calling you a red dog?!"
In red dog's horrified gaze, Shiro extended her other fist, which already had dark red lightning appearing on it. Clearly, she had once again used Conquerors Haki Infusion, and the rocket boosters already present on her forearm armor accelerated her speed.
After quickly letting go at the right moment, red dog was hit by Shiro's punch through the air on his right cheek. His entire face caved in, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and even a tooth was knocked out.
"Boom... Bang!" red dog was sent flying, smashing through several icebergs.
He finally managed to stop, but with that punch, red dog was already severely injured.
"Ugh... Damn it!" red dog howled with rage, not only because of his recent defeat and the verbal humiliation, but more so because of a feeling of powerlessness, the same powerlessness he felt when facing Luna.
If Luna's Void Ability meant she couldn't be hit, then what Shiro now made him feel was that she couldn't be broken, a feeling of absolute defense.
Through this exchange, red dog had already realized that his Magma was truly difficult to affect Shiro, but his other methods, whether Haki or physical techniques, were far inferior to his Magma-Magma Fruit ability. He probably wouldn't fare well, or even worse.
No wonder he felt so powerless.
"No, I can't give up. I am a Admiral. My inner justice will never allow me to concede. This guy isn't good at speed, her mobility is poor. I just need to stall her for now."
Thinking this, red dog immediately regained his confidence and ruthlessness. He stood up again, his eyes fixed on Shiro, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
"Your dog eyes don't look good." Shiro said with a cold expression. She picked up her axe and charged over, but her speed was indeed not ideal, and the ground was shaking.
A ferocious axe wrapped in Armament Haki swung down. red dog dodged, then landed a Magma fist on Shiro's right forehead, but unfortunately, it was useless again.
However, red dog wasn't discouraged. He immediately created distance. He had somewhat regained his confidence because he had already judged that the Shiro in front of him excelled in strength and defense, but lacked in attack and speed, especially speed.
But he made the same mistake as Kizaru; he was also fighting two opponents now. It's just that Carmen had been watching the battle from the sky, and in terms of attack power and speed, although her overall strength was a stage below Shiro, these two aspects surpassed her.
Of course, she was up there mainly because Shiro had already spoken to her through the communicator, telling her to wait a moment.
Carmen was also willing to give her third-in-command, Sister Long Long, some face, so she hadn't made a move until now.
But she had just received new information, a message from Shiro, saying, "You can look for an opportunity to strike now."
Soon, after seeing red dog's Magma fist being blocked again by Shiro's extended arm with her armor.
"Phoenix Burst Whirlwind Pot." She directly threw her frying pan. The frying pan spun at high speed in the air, burning with raging Phoenix Flame.
"What!" red dog was startled, but he was still hit by the frying pan and was knocked back. After all, the Phoenix Flame wrapped around it made his Elementalization somewhat ineffective again.
And this time it wasn't just generally ineffective, it was extremely ineffective. The Phoenix Flame, using the frying pan, ignited on him the moment it struck.
Feeling the burning sensation on his body, he immediately vaporized Magma to disperse the Phoenix Flame. At the same time, with a fierce gaze, he looked up at Carmen, who had already retrieved her frying pan. Carmen gave him a mischievous wink.
"Damn it, I forgot, I also have two opponents, and they are even more troublesome than Kizaru," red dog said through gritted teeth, his face extremely grim.
"Let's go together."
"Yes, Sister Long Long."
Shiro and Carmen, one in front and one behind, picked up their weapons and charged at red dog.
Meanwhile, Kizaru, who had been forced to fight far away, although he was only facing two Reserve Admirals, not top-tier ones, and Kaya was just a beginner.
But Kaya and Shino Asada became more and more coordinated, fighting with a long-range and close-range approach, and the two often swapped places. Even Kizaru couldn't gain an advantage for a while.
Most importantly, under Luna's command via the communicator, Deya also immediately joined in. Kizaru had achieved an accomplishment: in this battle, he became the first Admiral to simultaneously face the encirclement of three members of the Pink Hat Pirates.
Now, with one electricity, one light, and one space, although they were all Reserve Admirals, they made Kizaru suffer terribly.
At the same time, the Bei Group also gained something. No, they could be said to have the biggest gains among the Pink Hat Pirates right now.
Onigumo and his group originally thought they could suppress them with the strength of five Vice Admirals and a group of elite Marine Soldiers.
But after all, they were Galatron Girls, with incredibly astonishing combat power.
Onigumo and his group went from being able to fight for a while to being completely and utterly suppressed now.
The five of them were almost unable to hold on, and many Marine Soldiers had already lost their lives under their sword-claws.
On the other side, Nojiko and Tatsumaki cooperated with each other, and Aokiji's situation was now slightly better than Kizaru's and red dog's.
"Take this!" Tatsumaki looked at Aokiji below, happily waving her big hands and extending both hands forward.
The 12 Sea Stone weapons circling around her all flew out, like flying dragons, attacking Aokiji.
"Heh heh, I won't fall twice in the same place."
But how could Aokiji not learn from his lesson and come up with countermeasures after returning from that battle?
