Chapter 1517: The Powerful Melzalgald!
"This guy."
In the high altitude, Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters, who had stabilized his figure using Moonwalk.
Looking at Melzalgald's left arm, which he had just cut off but instantly recovered, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Is this self-healing ability comparable to Tier 3 Life Return?"
But it's just limb regeneration, it should be fine. I can try to cut off its heads.
The problem is the opponent has five heads, and it's very likely I'll have to cut them all off.
"I didn't expect there to be experts here who can resist our normal state."
"How surprising."
"Be careful."
"Let's finish this quickly. We'll attack together!"
"Okay."
Just then, Melzalgald's five heads communicated again.
The next second.
His body actually began splitting, with each head rapidly growing a body.
In the blink of an eye, five identical Melzalgalds, each with only one head remaining, appeared before Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters.
"What?!"
Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters' expression changed drastically.
In his Observation Haki perception, the aura strength of each of these Melzalgalds was comparable to before.
This isn't logical.
Logically, if one splits into five, each individual's strength should become weaker.
How can each clone have the same strength as the main body?
Can't you obey the Law of Conservation of Energy!
"Let's kill him."
"Right."
As soon as the words fell from two of the Melzalgalds.
The five Melzalgalds simultaneously burst into action, creating deafening sonic booms.
They surrounded and attacked Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters from all directions, leaving no room for survival.
This was indeed a desperate situation for the latter.
However.
Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters had no fear. He concentrated his spirit, used his full strength to unleash the swordsmanship he had cultivated for half his life, and swung his blade light into a mass to protect his body.
He knew this wouldn't be very effective; it was a guaranteed defeat five against one.
But he wouldn't just wait for death and lose the courage to fight.
Because he had already experienced the great terror named 'Death' once.
Compared to Admiral Ryokugyu's Thunder Bagua attack from before, what was this Melzalgald in front of him?
[Clang, clang, clang!]
Instantly, incredibly dense clanging sounds intensely resonated in the air.
When all the commotion subsided.
Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters was still standing in the original spot, using Moonwalk.
He hadn't suffered much damage, only his clothing was somewhat damaged.
At the same time, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, stood to his left and right.
They were Onigumo and Smoothie, both Navy Headquarters Admirals.
(Onigumo)
(Smoothie)
They had previously served as South Sea Navy Governor-General and North Sea Navy Governor-General respectively.
But with the Marine Headquarters moving to the Moon and the planetary security jurisdiction handed over to the Ministry of Police Affairs.
They returned to Marine Headquarters and became 'ordinary' garrison commanders.
This was the same as Momonga.
Just now, the two of them provided timely support and teamed up to block the attack of the five Melzalgalds.
"Two more came."
"This planet's civilization is very strong."
"Hope there aren't any more."
"We still have special moves."
"That woman is very strong."
While the five Melzalgalds were communicating with each other.
Momonga was also quickly sharing the known intelligence, especially regarding the opponent's extremely strong self-healing ability.
"It's still not understood where their self-healing upper limit is."
"We also don't know if they have other abilities, we must be careful!"
Smoothie smiled and said, "If slashing with blades is ineffective, we can try sucking them dry."
In her opinion, her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit ability was the natural enemy of this type of opponent.
No matter how strong their self-healing ability was, she could directly suck all the moisture from their entire body, causing irreversible destruction at the cellular level.
This point had already been verified by Admiral Crocodile from Army Headquarters on Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Go!"
"Kill them!"
A moment later, the five Melzalgalds and the three admirals, Momonga, Onigumo, and Smoothie, were engaged in chaotic combat in the high altitude.
Smoothie immediately displayed strength superior to the other two.
Momonga and Onigumo could only grapple with one Melzalgald each.
But she could fight three at once; this was the huge gap in talent.
However, Smoothie's expression became more serious the more she fought.
Because she discovered that her Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit ability was ineffective against Melzalgald.
"These guys' bodies have no moisture?!" Smoothie said in astonishment.
"That's right."
"Our bodies are high-strength rock containing various alien mineral components."
"How many more experts like you do you have?"
Three Melzalgalds surrounded Smoothie, speaking one after another.
Smoothie sneered, "Heh—, quite a few. You've hit a steel plate!"
"Really?"
"I don't believe it."
"You cannot resist our invasion."
As soon as the three Melzalgalds finished speaking, they were drawn to each other and pieced together.
Then, the two Melzalgalds who were fighting Momonga and Onigumo not far away also flew over.
"They are merging!"
Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters was full of astonishment: "One splits into five, each with the same strength, so what's the point of merging back into one?"
But he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Melzalgald, who was constantly squeezing together and rapidly merging into one body.
His life aura was actually rising fiercely. In an instant, his aura strength was five times that of the previous individual form.
"Huh?"
"Why..." Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters' brain was about to crash.
One splits into five, each with the same aura, then five merge into one, and the aura skyrockets five times.
What principle is this?
[Boom————]
But Melzalgald didn't give him time to think.
His figure, whose strength had greatly increased, instantly disappeared. His right arm transformed into a hammer shape, rolling up surging air currents, and violently smashed towards Momonga's face.
"So fast!"
Admiral Momonga of Navy Headquarters was shocked in his heart, but fortunately, it wasn't so fast that he couldn't react. He hurriedly raised his blade to block this attack.
[Boom——————]
A violent sonic boom exploded, gales vented wildly, and Momonga's figure was sent flying back dozens of meters.
He blocked it!
Melzalgald wasn't planning to let him go and was about to continue charging forward to pursue Momonga.
But Smoothie didn't just watch either and launched a fierce offensive against him.
"Whirlwind Strike!"
She gripped the sword hilt with both hands.
Her entire body transformed into a blade storm that conjured water flow out of thin air, sweeping towards Melzalgald.
Facing such a formidable attack, Melzalgald could only stop to meet it.
The result was that his body was torn into pieces under the ultra-high-speed cutting of the 'Water Blade Storm'.
"Got him!"
Delight appeared on Onigumo and Momonga's faces.
Because they clearly saw that Melzalgald's heads had been completely cut apart.
Smoothie, who had completed her technique, appeared behind Melzalgald.
Although she couldn't see behind her, she could feel that she had cut the opponent into fragments.
But who knew that those scattered 'rock-like body fragments' suddenly turned into sand and dust filling the sky.
Immediately, they quickly gathered together and reformed into Melzalgald's appearance.
The entire scene looked very much like the elementalization ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
This made both Momonga and Onigumo, who witnessed the process, suspect that the opponent might not have self-healing ability.
Instead, it might be a pseudo-elementalization ability that even Armament Haki cannot damage.
If that's the case, then it's too troublesome!
"It's useless. Compared to weak creatures like you, we are truly undying."
Melzalgald sneered as he flapped the wings on his back and looked at Smoothie, Momonga, and Onigumo.
