Chapter 409: The Great Hidden Danger of Sea Star Powerhouses and the Army!
The sky was covered in Dark Clouds, with Lightning flashing and Lightning rumbling. The Sea Waves surged violently, and a Gale blew fiercely.
"Napoleon!"
"Elbaf Spear!"
Charlotte Linlin and King Harald roared almost simultaneously. One was in the Sky, the other stood on Island Fragments. The Giant Saber and Giant Spear in their hands, Coating streaks of Lightning, collided.
Instantly, boundless Wind and Lightning surged, and a large amount of Sparks burst forth.
The sound, powerful enough to directly kill ordinary people, turned into sound waves that swept out in all directions.
Except for the largest piece of land under King Harald's feet, the other Island Fragments that had split off were largely submerged by the sweeping Sea Waves.
But this was not the most captivating scene. the Giants and Government Officials on the nearby Ships were all shocked as they stared at the black cloud-filled Sky that had been split open.
The Sky had also cracked!
"Hmph----"
But the next scene was even more astonishing. 'BIG MOM' was actually sent flying, stepping on the Thundercloud as she flew backward for hundreds of meters.
"Linlin is actually at a disadvantage?"
Kaido, who was on Onigashima, suddenly Stand Up, looking incredulously at the angry Face of the Woman on the Virtual Screen.
His current Strength had not reached that level, so he didn't fully understand the Situation of both sides.
"What a King of the Giants, truly Strong. The current BIG MOM is not his Opponent. Unfortunately, not being able to fly is a big problem."
Garp became serious for a rare moment and commented very earnestly. Sengoku, hearing this, immediately frowned.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the World Government's recent actions of constantly draining the Marines' resources, his Stance was still on the World Government's side, so his perspective on problems was also from that angle.
If Charlotte Linlin lost this third match, although it would still allow the Elbaf Kingdom to Affiliation, the World Government would not only lose Reputation but also have much less Control over the Giant Tribe.
As for King Harald's inability to fly, it would be a problem in a normal Combat, but this was a Duel!
As one of the World's top Powerhouses, Charlotte Linlin couldn't possibly avoid Combat, could she? She still needed to have that much Spirit, otherwise, how could she face the Gaze of others after the fight?
So, in the end, she still had to close in and clash head-on!
As for using 'Zeus' and 'Prometheus' or other Long-Range Moves to 'Kiting' and wear down the opponent.
Not only did Charlotte Linlin not have this Consciousness, but none of the Sea Star Powerhouses watching the Live Broadcast would think of this.
Because in their view, no matter how Strange the Ability, the ultimate decider of victory and Strength is only Close-Range Head-on Combat!
Therefore.
Although Charlotte Linlin would also use Lightning and Flame to bombard, she wouldn't stay too far from the ground.
Moreover, it was mainly Coating 'Napoleon', and then she would actively fly over to engage in earth-shattering intense Combat with King Harald.
Even if she was beaten back again and again, she still Roar and bravely clashed head-on!
"Mother's Flame!"
Indeed, she was seen once again slashing out with the 'Emperor Sword' attached with raging Flames, clashing with the 'Elbaf Spear' Coating black Lightning.
This scene not only made the Five Elders frown but also left Im on the Moon quite speechless.
The former were worried about the Situation after her defeat, while the latter was frustrated with her Combat intelligence, or rather, the Combat Style of all Sea Star Powerhouses.
He could actually understand that in this World where Aura is Strength, this kind of style is normal.
After all, a Combat Style of charging forward fearlessly and clashing bravely is the best way to display a Powerhouse's Aura and also provides a certain boost to the Power of Haki.
But facing an Opponent whose Strength is greater than one's own, Im felt that Tactics should still be considered.
Since you genuinely can't match them head-on, there's no need to be stubborn. If you can win by changing your Means, why not?
For Im, as a Transmigrator.
He was more in favor of a Combat Style that killed enemies from a thousand miles away. Close-quarters head-on clashes should only be the last resort.
Precisely because of this.
He created Techniques like 'God's Territory' and 'Haki Sword'. Wasn't Rayleigh shot to death by him back then?
Im felt he should find a way to make the Combat Style of these people slightly more flexible.
Otherwise, if this problem persists, they will definitely suffer losses in the Future when encountering sufficiently Strong and cunning Otherworld Experts, and might even be Ambush and killed!
This was a Hidden Danger, a great Hidden Danger.
Especially Ability Users like Kizaru and Enel, they should 'Kiting' to the Limit, maximizing the use of their Super High-Speed Flight Ability and Super Long-Range Attack Range.
Don't just pull out a Blade and hack at people at the drop of a hat!
Thinking of this, Im's Gaze retracted from the great battle on the Virtual Screen and turned to ponder this Matter which he considered very important.
"Should I give them some pointers on this aspect?"
The Power System of the Sea Star World, in his view, was actually quite versatile, especially with the existence of the Six Powers and Haki.
The former's rich Means could handle most sudden Situations, while the latter, specifically Observation Haki, was equivalent to a Large-Scale Mental Radar.
In War, as long as one person in one's own Team knows it, it's difficult to be subjected to enemy Sneak Attacks and Ambush. A sweep of Observation Haki makes it clear where you are hiding.
As for Armament Haki, it can not only protect oneself but, if it can be used for Emission, can also form an Energy Shield to block a few waves of attacks for the main Troops.
Honestly.
Im sincerely believed that the Sea Star Powerhouses were wasting these Powers by using them only for One-on-one Combat or Small-Scale Conflict. Their stage should be on a Larger Battlefield!
"Enel is still young, I can start cultivating this Combat Awareness in him now..."
Im raised his head and looked towards the east. Although separated by layers of Walls, he could still 'see' Enel's every move.
"With his Rumble Ability, he will definitely join the Air Force in the Future, so he should further strengthen his Long-Range Bombardment mindset. And Kizaru, Kaido, and the others."
As for Marco and King, there was nothing he could do, especially the former. However, he could try equipping them with high-Power Guns and Cannons.
"Right!"
Suddenly, thinking of Tactics, he thought of those Ninjas. Based on the Otherworlds encountered so far, it could be inferred with ninety percent certainty that the Ninja World exists.
Then it could also be anticipated that they would definitely encounter those strange Ninjas in the Future.
Don't look at how they fought mindlessly during the Fourth Great Ninja War, even turning into giant robot battles.
But before that, during the Three Great Ninja Wars, they were indeed seriously Playing Tactics, emphasizing Ninjutsu Coordination between Team members and so on.
Sneak Attack, Ambush, Trap, they were all used effortlessly. Coupled with the Power of Ninjutsu, they were simply impossible to guard against.
When it came to Playing Dirty, Im didn't think his current Troops could outperform them.
"However, I can let the Military Familiarize themselves with this Combat Style of Ninjas in advance, and at the same time make these Muscle-brained guys a bit more mindful, at least have this kind of Awareness..."
Im's idea was to teach the various Tactics of the Ninja World Ninjas to the Ninjas of the Sea Ninja Village, and then send some Ability Users with 'One-Hit Kill' and strong Ability to Ambush/Trick People to cooperate with them.
These would be strange Abilities similar to the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, Hollow-Hollow Fruit, Back-Back Fruit, and Clear-Clear Fruit.
Once they had practiced enough, he would have the Troops and Officers of the Three Forces, especially the Army, conduct Exercises with the Sea Ninjas in various Natural Environments.
Let them Experience what a Ninja is, what cunning is, and make them understand that War is not just about clashing head-on, and that the enemy won't just engage in Head-on Combat with you!
