Although it was an arm composed of petals, Lurantis’ arms could absorb the power of sunlight, which contained high-temperature sickles that could easily melt steel plates. Whether for hunting or defense, they were its deadly weapons.
Solar Blade and Solar Beam, although powerful, had the same drawback—they required charging. In a position battle, they couldn’t kill anyone. Besides that, everything was no different from actual combat.
King and Shayna, as the only surviving members of the same race, always had a good relationship. So, as their Vice-Captain, Amalee also understood what kind of person Delia was. She may appear modest, but she wouldn’t hold back when the time came to fight.
So, Amalee opted for an aggressive approach. After crossing her arms, a whirlwind surrounded her body, accompanied by numerous pink petals. Under her control, a plethora of petals scattered in all directions along with the swirling vortex.
Petal Blizzard!
Petals fell like snow, attacking all surrounding people, while the pressure from the wind also affected their movements. The sharp petals can obstruct the opponent’s vision while attacking.
Immediately after Amalee used this move, there was a chorus of curses from the surroundings.
“Hey, hey, watch it!”
“We’re spectators! Isn’t such a wide-range attack too much?!”
This is the time when they are most unrestrained. Those above were busy with their own battles and hardly cared about who was protesting below. Similarly, nobody cared about their safety.
It was evident that most of the front rows of the audience seats were vacant, which was a characteristic of the Beasts Pirates. During position battles, you could sit wherever you want, and as long as they have the courage – even sitting next to Kaido is not a big deal.
The risk was that Kaido might get excited and pat your shoulder or thigh. Few people liked to end up in the hospital after watching a match, so there were no ordinary members around Kaido.
As for other seats, as long as you were confident in blocking the aftermath of the battle, you could even sit at the front. Amalee’s attack was an example, affecting even the front row spectators with its wide range.
When the attack arrived, Tesoro flashed behind Queen. It was much safer to hide behind Queen at times like these. Kaido, on the other hand, casually let the attacks hit him.
Others had their own defensive methods. The most luxurious was on Yamato’s side, where Diancie erected a diamond barrier, blocking all the scattered petals outside. Because the transparency of the diamond was high, this barrier did not affect their ability to continue watching the battle.
On the other hand, Zeraora had a dense electricity defense. Although he and Setsuna weren’t afraid of this level of aftermath, he didn’t enjoy the feeling of attacks hitting his body like Kaido did.
As for Perona… those attacks passed directly through her body. At this moment, her body was peacefully sleeping in Bewear’s arms, with only her spirit watching the battle.
This was one of the sources of her all-nighter lifestyle. She could let her body rest while her spirit leaves to do other things.
Those without skills could only choose to watch from afar. If they lacked even this bit of skill, they could only watch Rotom’s live broadcast from a distance. However, that would be looked down upon within the Beasts Pirates, as it was a sign of cowardice.
“Amalee, these little tricks are useless!”
Delia’s body erupted in a burst of electricity, her eyes filled with electricity. At this moment, what she was seeing in her field of vision was completely different from that of ordinary people.
The petals gradually became transparent in her eyes, and the world turned gray-white. This was her X-ray vision ability. Although she could see through some things, she couldn’t perceive colors and couldn’t see through certain special things, such as the bodies of living beings.
Because Shayna’s mask was part of Blaziken’s body, her X-ray vision ability was ineffective. Similarly, King’s mask, mixed with some special Pokémon materials, was impenetrable to her sight.
But Amalee’s petals were no problem at all.
Enduring the damage caused by the petals and the pressure of the wind, she roared like a lioness and lunged forward.
Because after Amalee released the Petal Blizzard, a glowing sphere had appeared above her.
Anyone who saw the glowing sphere above her head could tell that there was something wrong with it. Delia didn’t want to wait for Amalee to finish charging. In battle between Zoans, one couldn’t escape the use of claws and teeth; Delia’s lightning-charged claws continuously struck Amalee.
Her combat lacked the grace of Lurantis, exhibiting only the feral madness of Luxray. However, most of the electric current attached to her claws was resisted by Lurantis’ type, and the majority of the damage inflicted was purely due to brute force.
After enduring several consecutive claw strikes, the sunlight sphere above Amalee began to gradually merge into her body. The mantis-like arms were also enveloped in light.
“You’ve had your fair share of attacks, haven’t you?!”
Amalee swung her crossed arms at Delia, but Delia dodged with a side bridge. Strands of hair floated down, and the smell of burnt hair reached Delia’s nose.
The charging of Solar Blade wasn’t finished yet. Although Delia dodged the first round of attacks, Amalee quickly turned around the sickle blade, and a huge light blade in the shape of an X slashed towards her.
Boom!
A huge X shape appeared on the venue, and Delia had a charred wound on her thigh.
“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you? Because I owe you twenty million Berries?”
“What a joke. If I killed you, who would I ask to pay back the money? That attack, you could definitely take it, at most, you’d be bedridden for half a month.”
“Tch, I bet you just want revenge. I won’t be paying you any interest if you’re going to be like this!”
“I never expected you to pay it anyway, and you also stole my limited edition makeup.”
After a brief exchange, they resumed fighting, and the wounds on both of them continued to increase.
“Worororo, these are some good youngsters. Yamato, you better be much stronger than them.”
Kaido continued to instill the mindset of strength being paramount in Yamato, and she wasn’t the only one receiving this education. Although they wouldn’t invite members of the Kozuki family in the internal celebrations like weddings, Kozuki Hiyori would attend every large-scale position battle.
Although her attendance carried a somewhat coercive undertone.
“Shogun Hiyori, don’t you find these battles exciting? The stronger the officers are, the safer Wano Country will become.”
Beside her, King stated what he saw as objective facts. The stronger the Beasts Pirates were, the safer the Wano Country would be. The statement itself seemed harmless, but it took on a different meaning when directed at the Kozuki family.
It was Beasts Pirates’ Wano Country that was safe, not Kozuki’s Wano Country. This statement was nothing short of a major blow to Kozuki Hiyori, who found herself unable to refute it.
Both she and her remaining retainers understood that this was Beasts Pirates’ regular display of military might.
