All 5 of Pearl's clones attacked his opponent at once. They all teleported at once, arriving all around the man.
The man hadn't expected such a major difference all of a sudden and was caught off guard.
The man quickly began fighting back, surprised that all 5 of the Pearls had weight to their body. They were as real as they could be while still being fake. They all felt the same, their powers about the same on all fronts.
He had no issue dealing with the attacks from the clone, but should the real one attack him at the right moment, he would be in trouble.
He managed to stab through one of the clones, but the body simply turned into glittering light, transferring into the remaining four. For some reason, all of their intensity increased at the same time.
