Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"They are deliberately causing a disturbance!"

Mo Ans gritted his teeth in hatred.

Even an army general like him had to be outwardly respectful to the 'Celestial Dragons,' let alone the lieutenant generals, major generals, and even lower-ranking soldiers under his command. It was a completely overwhelming rule.

no way!

Through generations of propaganda by the World Government, the Celestial Dragons have been elevated to an extremely high level of deification, portraying them as two completely different species. Even a Marine Admiral would be mobilized if a Celestial Dragon were to be harmed.

Not to mention his army, and the people in front of him are not just one or two, but a whole horde. Even if he were to step forward, he would have to be wary and bow his head.

"Damn it...it's all their trickery..."

Mo Ans gritted his teeth.

The once impenetrable defenses of the warships instantly became uncontrollable and turned into a complete mess after the intervention of these constantly shouting Celestial Dragons.

And the other side?

Endless Death - Needle's Edge

A vast array of arrow-like phantoms appeared in the sky, quickly filling most of it. Even the sunlight was blocked, turning into shadows. The sheer scale of it made one wonder how such a large number of archers could gather on the vast ocean and fire a volley. It was simply outrageous.

The warships were in an uproar. The already chaotic army was thrown into complete disarray by the sudden barrage of attacks. Without command, even the cannon fire became sparse and ineffective.

"Protect me! You lowly people, protect me!!"

"And me! Moans, send men over immediately! If I suffer any loss, I swear in the name of Saint Lacaras, I will make you pay!"

"You slaves, charge forward! What are you standing there for? Block them! Block them!"

"..."

Amidst a horrified gaze.

Mo Ans surprisingly calmed down, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

"The impact just now was merely the prelude to the commotion..."

"Is this the main course?"

Mo Ansi's gaze turned cold.

The smoke billowing behind him like a raging storm instantly receded inward as his mind shifted.

"Innocent!"

"The gap between us!"

"It's far beyond what you can imagine!!"

"You rats in the gutter, open your eyes and see the chasm between us!"

His eyes were wide with anger.

The power within his body surged, and he pushed the power of the Devil Fruit to its limit, leaving no room for maneuver. If anything happened to the Celestial Dragons behind him, even if he, Moans, was an army general, he would not escape unscathed!

A terrifying force was unleashed, unleashing its full power.

"Gray Fog Umbrella Protection!"

He pulled the five wisps of smoke behind him into his hand and then flung them forward.

It was as if a large umbrella had been opened in front of him.

An immense wave of air, propelled from the umbrella handle, transformed into a gigantic phantom dozens of times larger, completely enveloping half of the warship within the umbrella's coverage area.

The umbrella faces forward.

What was clearly smoke that would dissipate at any moment became thick and heavy after being engulfed by special airborne particles by Moans, like a thick layer of iron armor that forcefully blocked the impact.

Dang Dang Dang——

Arrows, like locusts, struck the misty umbrella, producing a continuous, metallic clanging sound.

The attack was fierce, but it could only create ripples on the surface. Once trapped in the protective umbrella of dust, it was quickly drained of its kinetic energy by the particles inside, and its speed continued to decrease.

Mo Ans's lips had just curled into a smile.

Before I could even laugh.

shhhhh--

The kinetic energy, which had almost stalled, began to accelerate again.

These dense, locust-like attacks, though visually distorted by Seele's Imperial Arms, were still essentially a barrage of needles! The Phantom Queen Bee's stinger!

A Teigu that will not rest until it attacks the enemy!

Chapter 176: General? Mere prey!

"The characteristics of Imperial Arms!"

"It's not that easy to crack."

Joel frowned.

Although to some extent.

The Imperial Arms she wields is somewhat similar to Akame's [One-Hit Kill Murasame].

but!

Compared to Akame's Murasame, whose condition of injuring the opponent to the point of drawing blood is very demanding, her Needle's Edge is undoubtedly more versatile and more difficult to deal with.

Once fired, it will definitely hit.

Otherwise, it will multiply infinitely in the illusion until it occupies the entire space.

this time!

Her target was certainly not Moan-S.

It was those behind him.

—Celestial Dragons!

Pfft!

Locusts soared through the sky,

The long needle was stained with blood!

Bright red blood splattered out like a ribbon.

On a warship that thought itself safe, it stood out conspicuously and glaringly!

"Humph!"

"It's a pity it didn't hit any vital spots; it only pierced their arms."

Joel grunted, a hint of displeasure on his face.

Although Needle has the characteristic of always hitting its target, after the phantoms multiply and fill the sky, even as the spirit of an Imperial Arm, she can no longer control the specific direction and can only hit randomly.

This can be considered a flaw that is the only imperfection in this Imperial Arm.

Although Joel could barely be considered a nobleman, he had no liking for these maggots, mentally challenged, and brutal Celestial Dragons, and he certainly didn't consider them as his own kind. He wished he could wipe them all out.

Trash that tarnishes the name of nobility!

"They're lucky!"

Joel angrily shook his hand.

She was a battle-hardened warrior who had seen bloodshed and was indifferent to such 'minor' injuries, but what about the pampered Celestial Dragons?

This is absolutely a momentous event!

"dying!"

"dying!"

"I'm going to kill you! Moans! You piece of trash! If I die, the Carloas Saint Clan will never let you go! You will all suffer the curse of the Creator for the rest of your lives!"

Despite only having half his hand blown off, the fat man with the goldfish bowl on his head collapsed to the ground as if he were about to die, cursing loudly through the air.

On the warship, the already volatile morale became even more chaotic because of his wailing.

However, because of this guy's identity, even Mo Ans could only grit his teeth and endure it, and couldn't even reprimand him. If it were anyone else, they would have been corroded into skeletons by his poisonous smoke long ago.

"Damn it!"

"We can't keep playing this passive defense."

Mo Ansi's face darkened.

Looking at the horizon, the sky seemed to be filled with arrows, like locusts gathering again.

He had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

The situation is already spiraling out of control with just one Celestial Dragon injured. If those lurking figures were to launch another surprise attack, and another one or two were to be lost due to lack of strength, the situation would truly become completely uncontrollable.

and!

Who knows how many unknown ambushes are lurking in the shadows?
