Cavendish was going to rescue Philo, and she, Perona, was going to rescue Jaya, who was besieged by the navy.
But before she could arrive, she saw Maud showing off her powerful dominance.
Unexpectedly, while suppressing the general Kizaru, he was able to support Jaya, defeating the new pacifist with powerful combat power and an elite naval team with overwhelming force.
If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes…
Perona couldn't believe that there were people in this world who could do this.
"It's really strong..."
Perona murmured softly, her heart filled with admiration for Maud.
but.
She didn't stop to admire Maude, so she withdrew her gaze from Maude and flew to Jia Ya's location as quickly as possible.
The key to escape is -
Escort Sister Jaya to Impel Down City!
Chapter 307 The critical moment
Due to Mod's strong intervention.
A group of naval elites led by Lieutenant General He, who thought they were sure of victory, suffered extremely tragic losses.
The navy that can participate in this war must at least start as a colonel, and most of them can use armed colors.
But even so, this group of naval elites who were able to use the armed colors between offense and defense were instantly defeated in front of Mod's slashing attack that entangled the overlord colors without considering the issue of consumption.
And as Smoker was chopped down by Moder, Tina was controlled by the shadow clone.
In this small-scale encirclement and suppression battle, apart from Smoker and Tina, the navy that still had the strength to fight was left with only two colonels, three brigadiers, and those who took off on moon steps to pursue Jia Jia. Lieutenant General Ya Dehe.
The overwhelming advantage in combat power that they had originally had was almost completely wiped out.
This was a result that General He could never have expected.
after all-
In terms of combat power alone, every navy in the Navy Headquarters has full confidence in the general.
Lieutenant General He, who often participated in the deployment of combat plans, knew very well what kind of combat value a general could exert in a war.
Therefore, from this point of view, Lieutenant General He's confidence in Kizaru, even if he is not blind, will still believe that the probability of something happening to Kizaru is basically zero.
But the cruel reality gave her a hard slap.
Kizaru, whom she trusted as one of her top combat powers, not only failed to suppress Mod, he couldn't even contain him.
How dare the navy believe it before this result comes out.
This is the general of our headquarters!
Let's look back at Marshal Sakaski and General Fujitora.
The former restrained the Four Emperors Red-haired Shanks, while the latter restrained some of the senior cadres of the Red-haired Pirates except Beckman by himself.
In contrast, Kizaru's dereliction of duty is infinitely magnified by this form of comparison.
Is it because Kizaru stretched his crotch, or is Mod's strength already beyond everyone's expectation
That's it.
There is no point in thinking about these things and looking for blame.
From Lieutenant General He's point of view, losing the advantage in combat power is a foregone conclusion, and the top priority is to defeat Jaya and cut off the Mord Pirates' escape route.
As long as the end result is a naval victory.
Then, the sacrifices of our colleagues will be valuable and can be given a noble meaning.
Putting the overall situation first is Lieutenant General He's motto.
After recognizing the key, General Hezhong's anger, which was enough to burn his reason and was drawn out by Mod, was instantly frozen deep in his heart.
The ability to adjust your mentality from extreme anger to extreme calm.
This old man who had come all the way from the old era did it in less than a second.
Then-
She decisively moved her gaze away from Maud and chased Jia Ya as quickly as possible.
Jia Ya, who was trying hard to run towards Impel Down City, suddenly felt a suffocating pressure coming from behind.
Looking back, the old female marine with tricky abilities was quickly shortening the distance between them.
The Piao Piao Fruit gives the esper the ability to float, which is certainly convenient and consumes very little.
But in terms of speed, it is far inferior to the superb moon step skills.
Not to mention, the navy chasing her was an old man who had spent his whole life fighting on the sea and had mastered the Six Styles to the pinnacle.
Facing the older generation of strong men of this level, the only advantage that the younger generation can bring to the table is physical strength.
However, the physical strength and domineering power that should have been sufficient were "washed" away by the old navy in the chaotic battle just now.
Jia Ya, who had lost her only advantage, could not spare enough energy to support the use of the Moon Step, let alone the possibility of defeating Lieutenant General He, or even escaping.
Even if she had enough physical strength, Jia Ya, who had only mastered the Moon Steps for less than a year, would not be able to escape Lieutenant General He's pursuit.
As a result, facing Lieutenant General He's pursuit head-on is a situation that Jia Ya has to face.
"Sorry, Maude..."
Unable to seize the opportunity created by Maud, Jia Ya, who has a gentle temperament, inevitably feels apologetic.
Immediately, she gathered her energy and prepared to deal with Lieutenant General He's pursuit.
And just then, Perona came.
In her spiritual state, she is not afraid of any threats and has the same floating ability as the Piao Piao Fruit.
Of course, speed is also a flaw.
Fortunately, she was already relatively close to Impel Down City, so she didn't need to chase Jia Ya. She only had to wait for Jia Ya to come over on the only way to Impel Down City.
"Sister Jia Ya, let me help you!"
Perona spoke up at the right time, reminding Jaya who was paying attention to Lieutenant General He.
The underlying meaning of this sentence is -
Don't stop, run!
Jaya responded quickly.
Just as she was ready to fight, she immediately turned around and continued flying towards the Impel Down City.
General He looked at Perona, the person who was causing trouble, and flicked his finger decisively.
Flying finger gun.
The crescent-shaped air bomb formed by hitting the air with her fingertips instantly passed through Perona's vitals with a slight sound of breaking through the air.
It goes through, not breaks through.
Perona, who was safe and sound, crossed her arms and controlled several negative ghosts, trying to block Lieutenant General He's path to pursue Jaya.
Unfortunately, the speed of negative ghosts is alarming.
If it was a sneak attack, it might still be effective.
Viewed from the front, it poses no threat at all.
Lieutenant General He was as tall as the wind and effortlessly crossed the defense line set up by the negative ghost.
"So fast!!!"
Perona, who did not need to worry about her own safety, tried her best to control the negative ghost to stop Lieutenant General Crane.
However, the speed gap between a turtle and a cheetah cannot be compensated by skill.
Perona tried her best to stop him, but she couldn't even stop Lieutenant General He for a second.
Lieutenant General Crane transcended the ghost of negativity and simply ignored Perona's presence.
From the phenomenon of the flying finger gun passing through Perona just now, she concluded that Perona is now a spirit that is not afraid of any attack, so there is no need to waste energy on Perona.
"How dare you ignore me, you damn old woman!!!"
Perona looked at Lieutenant General He who came from the front but didn't even look at her. She immediately pretended to be furious, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
In her little head, which was filled with calculations at the moment, images of her stalking her so hard that she even ran to Lady Maud's dormitory in the dead of night to seek advice from Lady Maud flashed across her mind.
Sure enough, only one-on-one teaching in the quietest of nights is the fastest way to make progress.
Perona looked furious as she estimated the distance.
The flying attack speed of the Negative Ghost is a natural flaw and cannot be improved through practice.
Such shortcomings limit the offensive nature of Negative Ghost to a certain extent, and also limit Negative Ghost to the framework of [sneak attack].
But Maude taught her another way to make up for the negative ghost's lack of speed.
At that time, Perona didn't understand what Lord Maude said, "The advantage of the materialization system lies in its ability to be freely retracted and retracted."
But through Lord Maude's explanation, she understood how to apply the feature of [free retraction and retraction] to the passive ghost offensive.
Once the released negative ghost is easily dodged by the enemy due to its speed, it will fall into an embarrassing situation where it cannot catch up with the enemy or even have time to return to defense.
At times like this—
Just remove the ability and let the ghost of negativity disappear.
Summoning the negative ghost later is equivalent to letting the negative ghost return to your side instantly.
This is the freedom between abilities that Lord Maud refers to.
It was an idea that seemed easy to come up with, but without Lady Maud's reminder, she didn't realize it at all...
Anyway, as long as you can perfectly use the techniques taught by Lord Maude, you could deceive Kizaru before, and you can also deceive the old woman in front of you now!
While waiting for the time to come.
Perona was not in a hurry to cancel the ability, but instead controlled the negative ghost to pursue Lieutenant General Crane, creating an illusion of gritted teeth and helplessness.
Lieutenant General He confirmed that Perona's threat in the spirit state was almost zero, and also used his sense of sight to lock in the negative ghosts behind him who could not catch up with him.
at last.
Her attention naturally fell on Jia Ya.
That's the crux of this war.
Perona seized this fleeting opportunity.
While Lieutenant General Crane focused on Jaya, Perona canceled her ability.
The negative ghost who was chasing Lieutenant General Crane disappeared instantly.
The next second.
Several negative ghosts materialized next to Perona, blocking Lieutenant General Crane's pursuit path.
"Um?"
The sudden change caused Lieutenant General He's eyes to change slightly.
She hurriedly dodged two negative ghosts, but one of them still penetrated her calf.
"Hohohoho, let's just fall down in despair while being negative!"
Seeing that Negative Ghost successfully hit Lieutenant General Crane, Perona's little face was full of pride.
But the expected picture did not happen.
Lieutenant General He who was hit by the negative ghost did not produce any negative phenomena.
"How can this be?!"
Perona's proud expression solidified.
Negativity and pessimism…
Just use your ability to wash it off.
