Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Jack, don't underestimate me!!!"

Despite enduring Jack's nose strike, which was powerful enough to topple a small mountain, Corazon, suspended in mid-air, twisted his body and regained his balance as if nothing had happened.

The next moment, four more exaggerated flying slashes, powerful enough to split the sea, flew towards "Drought" Jack.

In response, "Drought" Jack neither dodged nor evaded, relying on his tough and thick fur to forcefully withstand Corazon's flying slash, and then his massive body charged towards Corazon.

Meanwhile, as Corazon and "Drought" Jack engaged in a new round of fierce combat, "Fire" Jhin showed no reaction whatsoever to the injured and fallen "Plague" Quinn.

The attack, which resembled a ghostly explosion, was indeed bizarre, even bursting directly from within Quinn's body. However, Jhin, the Flame, did not believe that this level of damage would be enough to inflict fatal harm on Quinn.

For Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users like them who have already mastered the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, the fact that they did not suffer any truly fatal damage means that they are... unharmed!

Quinn, the "Plague," rolled on the ground once, then quickly stood up again, spitting out a large mouthful of bloody foam.

On the surface, "Plague" Quinn appears to have recovered from all his injuries, as if the damage he just suffered was an illusion.

……

"Such terrifying vitality..."

As Aon observed the battlefield from afar using his Observation Haki, he was deeply shocked.

It's important to know that after Perona transforms her soul into a spirit through the "Ghost Fruit" ability, she can perfectly utilize the power of the "Wolf Pack." Those seemingly small and cute ghosts, in reality, each one, when exploded, is powerful enough to send the entire Dressrosa Kingdom flying into the sky.

However, a dozen or so negative spirits exploded within Quinn the Plague, and it was already absurd that Quinn's physique was so strong that he didn't instantly turn into pieces.

In just a few breaths, all the injuries were completely healed.

"An awakening of an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? He's practically a monster."

"but……"

A slight smile curved Yann's lips as he murmured his assessment, "In a sense, Perona is invincible now!"

While in her spirit form, Perona is perfectly immune to all physical damage.

This so-called physical damage refers not only to physical blows, but also includes, but is not limited to, fire, lightning, seawater, and so on.

This is not the ability of the "pack of wolves," but rather the "ghost clone" ability that Perona herself developed with her "ghost-ghost fruit" but had not yet mastered.

As for the "wolf pack" ability, it grants Perona extremely terrifying offensive and destructive power under these circumstances.

Cleverly, while "soul splitting" originally required consuming the master's own soul, the ghost released by Perona was itself a type of soul.

Under these circumstances, Perona only needs to expend her stamina to create "ghosts" using the "Ghost Fruit" to replace "soul fragments" and unleash terrifying destructive power.

Therefore, in this state, Perona's real weakness and flaw, besides her inability to move, is that due to her age, her physical strength is insufficient to support using the "Ghost Fruit" for an extended period of time.

However, if Quinn's vitality is truly strong enough to forcibly exhaust Perona's stamina, then things will be bad.

"Hehehehe..."

After pausing for a moment, Moria released "Shadow Gathering Ground," a technique that slowed him down. He simply left two speed-oriented shadows inside his body to amplify his own speed, and then shouted at Perona.

"One more time, let me cut out this bastard's shadow and keep it forever."

"Yes, Lord Moriah."

Perona, who was initially amazed by Quinn's vitality and defense, immediately responded. With a flick of her fingers, one negative ghost after another flew out from Perona's palm.

At this moment, Quinn, who had previously looked somewhat indifferent, froze, and panic flashed in his eyes.

[Chapter 238 Ancient Species: Pteranodon Form]

Are the ghosts released by Perona terrifying?

terrible!

However, for Quinn, the "Plague," as long as the power has not exceeded a certain limit, the damage he suffers is ultimately just a matter of physical exhaustion, given his modified body that has mastered the awakening of an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.

However, once Moria joins the attack, under the power of the "Shadow-Shadow Fruit," even if Queen the Plague has strong vitality and a terrifying physique, it will be meaningless.

Quinn, the Plague, cursed under his breath, not daring to be careless. He immediately turned to Jhin, the Flame, and shouted, "Damn it, you should help me take down Moria too!"

"Did they come to me for help?" "The Flame Disaster" Jhin said calmly.

"Damn it, if you don't make a move, I won't fight either. Let's just wait for Boss Kaido's scolding together!" Queen the Plague shouted in a desperate manner.

"Humph!"

"Jin the Flame" snorted coldly, no longer intending to watch "Quinn the Plague" make a fool of himself.

The next moment, just as a large number of negative ghosts fell on "Plague" Quinn again, knocking him down once more, Moria seized the opportunity to make his move.

With a single flap of his black wings, "Ember" appeared in front of Moria, drew his sword, and slashed at Moria.

However, Moria was no mindless brute, and he had long been prepared for the loud conspiracy between "Plague" Quinn and "Pyro".

"Fool……"

As Moria's mocking voice rang out, just as Jhin's blade, which flashed like a streak of light, struck Moria's chest, Moria's massive figure instantly transformed into a black shadow.

"Shadow Warrior!"

Sometime earlier, Moria's shadow had quietly lurked beside Queen the Plague. As Moria activated his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, he instantly swapped the positions of his real body and his shadow.

Immediately, as Jhin severed Moria's shadow, Moria swiftly pulled out scissors from his pocket and slashed at the shadow of "Plague" Quinn.

However, at that moment...

The Plague Queen, who had been blasted to the ground and unable to move, suddenly opened his eyes and turned towards Moria, staring at him. Then, a thick and terrifying tail suddenly lashed out in Moria's direction.

"what?!"

Moria never expected that Quinn, who had endured an attack of the same magnitude as Perona's, would recover so quickly.

In an instant, given Moria's speed and size, it was virtually impossible for him to dodge the tail that came crashing down on him.

With the terrifying power of a Brachiosaurus's tail, which can shatter the earth with a single flick, it might just be enough to turn Moria into mincemeat on the spot.

"Shadow Warrior!"

In the blink of an eye, Moria had no choice but to use his "Shadow Warrior" ability again to switch places between his real body and his shadow.

"Heh heh heh, Moria, who did you just call an idiot?"

A smug glint flashed in "Jin the Flame's" eyes as he looked at Moria, who had reverted to his original form. It seemed as if he had anticipated this situation, and his longsword flew swiftly toward Moria's head.

Just as Moria was very familiar with the abilities of the Beasts Pirates, the Beasts Pirates were also very familiar with Moria's abilities back then.

This downward slash seemed to have been premeditated.

The situation changed so quickly that even with Perona's strong combat abilities, her combat experience and reaction speed were far from keeping up, and she could only exclaim in surprise.

"Lord Moriah..."

"Whoosh!!!"

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, as if a curtain of night had instantly enveloped the entire sky, and in an instant it swept in front of "Fire Disaster" Jhin.

"clang!"

A hand resembling a demon's claw closed its five fingers and directly gripped the longsword that was about to strike Moria.

"Jin the Blaze" felt the power emanating from the longsword, slightly raised his eyes, looked at the person in front of him with black wings spread, also wearing a straight white trench coat and a white bone mask, recalled the bounty poster image of Hueco Mundo, and slowly spoke.

"Blackwing... the Great Demon?"

"what."

Hancock responded haughtily, then slightly raised her hand and forcefully pushed the longsword that was pressing down back towards "Jin the Wildfire," saying.

"Are you the scum who dares to provoke our Hueco Mundo organization...?"

"Miscellaneous, fragmented?"

"Jin the Wildfire" immediately changed his expression, and the flames that had been burning behind him surged up completely. "You really dare to do that, a cowardly bastard who hides his face, daring to call me that?"

At this moment, Hancock, now transformed into the "Blackwing Demon," looked calmly at "Jin the Wildfire" with her dark green eyes and spoke again.

"Yes, scum!"

The next moment, a sharp, angry screech came from Jhin's mouth, and Jhin's form changed rapidly.

Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Pteranodon Form!

Almost instantly, as "Jin the Flame" expanded and changed in size, he completely transformed into a pterodactyl with fiery wings.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately, "Jin the Flame," transformed into a Pteranodon, lashed out with his sharp claws toward Hancock, aiming straight for her chest.

Hancock, in turn, raised her knee and retaliated with a kick that transformed into a demonic claw.

"boom!"

A violent roar suddenly erupted, and a huge shockwave swept out in all directions. Even Moria, who was standing next to Hancock and "The Wildfire" Jin, was unsteady on his feet and couldn't help but retreat!

So strong!

too horrible!

Moria strained his eyes to feel the shockwaves that swept over him from the aftershocks.

Moria admitted that even if he used "Shadow Gathering Ground" to its maximum extent, he could not reach this level of terrifying power, not to mention the terrifying speed at which the two attacked, which Moria could hardly even see clearly.

"That bastard Jhin is much stronger than he was years ago!"

Moria secretly compared the strength of "Jin the Wildfire" now with that of several years ago, and came to a conclusion that made him grit his teeth.

A few years before Moria became withdrawn and stagnant, both "Jin the Wildfire" and "Quinn the Plague" experienced a significant increase in power.

In the past, Moria could suppress them with his "Shadow-Shadow Fruit" and his own physique, but now, with the decline of his physique, he is no longer even qualified to be their opponent.

Damn it!

Moria, secretly regretting his actions, quickly retreated, clearing enough space for the Hueco Mundo member known as "Blackwing Demon" and "King the Flame" to fight.

[Chapter 239 The Looming Shadow]

The next instant, before the aftershocks of Hancock and "Jin the Wildfire" had even subsided, the two dark figures entangled and soared into the sky, with one after another resounding clashes echoing from the heavens.

"Bang bang bang..."

The enormous blasts continued to explode, their sheer force drawing almost everyone's attention.

"Jin the Flame" is an Ancient Species Pteranodon-type Devil Fruit user known for his strength and speed in the sea. The flames that are always burning on his back are one of his unique trademarks.
