Chapter 185: Killing the Major General
Chapter 185: Killing the Major General
Stoloberg knew the principle of the Moon Walk very well. It was to gain propulsion by skillfully stepping on the air at high speed. Therefore, if one wanted to stay in the air, one had to keep stepping on the air.
Lu Li stood there, motionless, without using any of the reaction force from stepping on the air, he just stood there.
This feeling was like the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, but Golden Lion was still imprisoned in Impel Down. Moreover, based on the intelligence he knew, Lu Li was not a Devil Fruit user.
So how did Lu Li do it? Who is he?
Xuefeng was also so shocked that her mouth opened slightly. She pointed at Lu Li for a long time without saying a word. She looked at Lu Li's prisoner demon, and then at Lu Li's feet. How could she not understand at this moment that Lu Li was clearly a 'God of Death'!
This is an advanced application method of the Shinigami Flash Step, which can use spirit particles to create a landing point under your feet to achieve the effect of flying in the air.
Compared with the Moon Step in One Piece, this is truly a dimensionality-reducing attack skill.
"Xuefeng, don't look at me, drive the boat, I'll catch up after I finish testing the knife."
Lu Li gave the order, no matter in terms of strength or status, the other party now had to obey his orders.
Originally, if it weren't for the navy, he could have had a lot of fun on this trip to Sky Island. After all, he only needed to let Jhin go with him, and he wouldn't have to bring the children along.
But Kaido had allowed Runti and his sister on board in order to protect them, so he had to consider the lives of the two children. Fortunately, the Snow Wind Adventure Group could act as their babysitters.
"Boys, start the boat!"
Xuefeng greeted them hurriedly. She knew that there was no need for her to worry about a strong man like Lu Li. Since Lu Li dared to stay and cover them, there would be absolutely no problem.
All they need to do now is to sail away from the main battlefield as soon as possible. As long as they enter the rapids area of this route, even the navy will not be able to catch up with them.
By then, no matter how chaotic the situation on the island below is, it will not affect them. They only need to consider how to gain benefits on the sky island.
Lu Li stood above the Baibai Sea, feeling the warships gradually moving away behind him, his eyes sweeping towards the fierce battle far downstream.
Jin and Huangmu were really fighting at this moment. Huangmu was indeed very strong, but it was difficult for him to perform well on the Baibai Sea route. If he used the Moon Step to stay in the air, it would be difficult for him to use the ability of the Sen Sen Fruit.
If he wanted to exert his full strength, he could only temporarily find some small landing points of "Island Cloud" to fight with Jhin.
Jin doesn't have this concern. Although he is also a fruit ability user, he can fly. His wings are not just for show. He can exert his full strength in battle.
So for a while, Huang Mu was actually being suppressed by Jin, and was in a very embarrassing situation.
But as the user of the Sen Sen Fruit, Huang Mu's great advantage is his endurance and strong vitality. Even if he is beaten to pieces, he can turn into seeds and regenerate, making him very difficult to deal with.
Faced with the temptation of being promoted to general, he was not prepared to let Lu Li go. Even though Jin's attack was fierce, he was trying his best to chase him into the depths of the Baibai Sea.
Therefore, the battlefield between Jin and Huangmu is constantly moving upstream, and they are about to catch up with Stoloberi and Lu Li.
"Boy, you want to use me to test your sword? Do you really think I'm the same as other major generals?"
Stolobe's tone was grim. Even though he was surprised by Lu Li's ability to fly in the air, it didn't mean he was afraid.
But he was very confused. He had clearly blocked Lu Li's sword before. If we talk about sword energy, both of their sword energies extended forward. However, due to the armed color domineering, the sword energy was weakened a lot after the collision, so it should not be possible to hurt anyone.
He was not a young navy officer who had just started out, and he paid great attention to protecting himself during battle. So after judging the direction of Lu Li's sword, he had already wrapped his waist and abdomen with armed color domineering in advance.
But the result was that his waist and abdomen were inexplicably injured. Although the injury was not serious and was just a superficial injury, it still confused him.
"I haven't seen other major generals, but I am the leader of the Beasts Pirates after all. If it's just a major general, isn't it normal for me to kill him?"
Lu Li was posing in the air as he spoke, and the reason why he was able to injure Stoloberry was simple, because he triggered true damage.
The passive effect of the Soul Eater Ring is that when he attacks the enemy, it causes true damage equal to 3% of his soul source limit, so even some of the sword energy that rushed over broke through Stoloberi's armed color defense.
After the Soul Eater Ring was strengthened to +8, it gained an additional spiritual characteristic that could enhance the equipment's special effects by 50%. That is to say, each of his attacks could cause an additional true damage of 4.5% of the maximum soul source limit.
Even though the people in the One Piece world are known to be 'flesh', Stoloberry would suffer obvious injuries after his true injury was triggered.
A single skin injury might not be obvious, but if the fight continues and the opponent is injured by your sword energy every time, then he will be scratched to death.
"Boy, you use your Armament Haki well, but that doesn't mean I can't do it."
Stoloberi said in a cold voice, and as he spoke, his two long swords were also wrapped in dark purple armament color domineering.
The color of Lu Li's Ryuzakura is different, but it is a similar technique. This is an advanced skill of using armed color domineering mastered by the navy.
"I learned from Admiral Zephyr, how could I not know this technique? Pirate, prepare to die!"
As Stoloberi spoke, he walked forward with moon steps, but his speed was not fast. It was obvious that he was not as confident as his words suggested.
Lu Li could also see that Stoloberi was able to use the same technique as Ryuo, but he was not very skilled in it, and it might sometimes work and sometimes not, which was why he had not used it in the previous battle.
In summary, Stoloberry is not a talented player. The skills that Luffy and Lu Li can learn in a day or two, he has not been able to master even after learning from Admiral Zephyr for half his life.
If it was ten years later, when Stoloberi became a vice admiral, he would definitely be able to master this technique, but at least now he is still half-baked. Lu Li did not say more to Stoloberi. He adjusted his breathing and moved in the air in an instant, his speed was much faster than the razor in the Navy's Six Styles.
Seeing Lu Li attacking first, Stoloberi looked serious. He held his two swords in a cross shape and lowered his waist like a bull ready to charge.
The next moment, he took off, drawing a huge cross in the air. The dark purple armed color was surrounded by domineering aura, causing ripples on the white sea.
Two swords style. Cross kill!
After determining that Lu Li was quite strong, Stoloberi used all his strength, ready to rely on his stronger body to overwhelm Lu Li head-on with brute force.
He was lucky, and this time he used the advanced armament Haki perfectly without any mistakes.
The two swords cut through the void, and in a charging posture, they pressed forward in a cross shape, slashing towards Lu Li's chest.
Lu Li came from the air at an extremely fast speed, but strangely, he did not make the deafening sound that he usually made when he charged forward. He did not even make the sound that should have broken the speed of sound. He just created ripples on the white sea.
Facing Stoloberi's fatal move, Lu Li did not choose to dodge, nor did he think of using flash to steal the opportunity, but chose to take the attack head-on.
He changed from holding the knife with both hands to holding it with one hand, drawing an elegant arc in the air. The knife's movements were smooth and graceful, creating invisible ripples.
The white sea beneath him formed a huge whirlpool under the action of the force, and the clouds above also swirled and fell downwards because of it.
The place where Lu Li stood seemed to have turned into a huge vortex of attraction, stirring up everything in the world. The currents of the white sea gathered towards where he was, and floating clouds circled above his head.
Lu Li learned the secret sword technique from ancient books - Na Baichuan!
Under that strange force, Stoloberi's double swords seemed to be sucked over and collided with the prisoner demon in Lu Li's hand.
Before Stoloberi could feel happy that Lu Li chose to collide with him head-on, he felt that the feeling of his strike was not right. It was not the ordinary impact of a head-on collision, but a force pulling the side of his knife to turn forward.
It was as if his knife was caught in a tsunami, with a huge force pulling it to the side and front, almost tearing his knife away and escaping his control.
Stoloberi didn't want to let go, but he was wielding two swords, and the two swords were pulling in different directions, so even if he was willing to follow the power of the swords, he could only choose one direction, otherwise he would be torn apart by the huge force and his arms would be broken.
In a hurry, he made a subconscious judgment, loosened the handle of the knife in his left hand, and rushed to the right front.
Lu Li ignored the knife that he was pulling towards him. When the knife's force was about to run out, he kicked sideways towards Stoloberi's waist.
boom--
Stoloberi's weaknesses were fully exposed, and of course he had no energy to dodge, and was swept by Lu Li's kick. Even though he was wrapped in armed color domineering, his internal organs were still churning.
Moreover, an overbearing and powerful force surged in, causing his kidney to rupture and cause internal bleeding.
The Soul Eater's true damage is not only triggered by slashing attacks, but any attack that causes damage can trigger the true damage effect.
After Lu Li tried two attacks, he realized that Jin and Huang Mu were gradually moving towards them, so he decided to end the battle quickly and activated the active skill of the Soul Eater Ring.
Therefore, his attack at this time could cause an additional 15% of the maximum soul source value limit in real damage to Stoloberi, directly causing him serious internal injuries.
Lu Li would not give the enemy a chance to breathe. After kicking Stoloberi away with one kick, he adjusted his body shape, moved again in an instant, and directly slashed at the demon with his sword.
At this moment, Stoloberi really felt the breath of death. He adjusted his posture in fear, holding his only remaining long sword with both hands, barely blocking Lu Li's sword.
But his posture was already messed up, and he had lost his two swords that he was good at. He responded hastily to this attack and was knocked out by Lu Li again, smashing several floating island clouds. He was about to crash into the Baibai Sea before he used the Moon Step to stop the car.
Before he had time to breathe, Lu Li's figure appeared above him like a shadow.
Lu Li was seen holding the Demon Prisoner in both hands, his chest muscles bulging, lightning flashing all over his body, his face covered with ghostly patterns, like an Asura, slashing downwards with such force that a gap was cut in the white sea below before it even fell completely.
Lu Li learned the secret sword technique from ancient books - Earth-Splitting!
Stoloberi's soul was about to escape, and for a moment he couldn't even use his high-level Armament Haki. He hastily used his hand to support the back of the knife to attack upwards.
Ding--
With a crisp sound, Stoloberi's famous sword, one of the fifty best swords, broke, and the Prisoner in Lu Li's hand moved downwards with dark red flowing cherry blossoms entangled around it.
It penetrated into the flesh and cut through the bones, completely chopping off Stoloberi's right arm along with the shoulder blade!
"Stoloberg!"
Huangmu, who was fighting with Jin and had reached a nearby area, saw this scene and screamed with disbelief on his face.
Because in his opinion, Stoloberry's strength is decent, how could he be defeated by a civilian staff member of the Beasts Pirates?
Lu Li would not spare his life just because of Huang Mu's cry. Stoloberi lost his right arm and his sword in the first blow, which meant his defeat and death.
Without giving Stoloberi a chance to fall into the white sea and die, Lu Li rushed downwards at the same time as he fell, and slashed with his sword again, and with the help of the opponent's armed color domineering, he cut through Stoloberi's neck!
