Teacher King made good on his promise. Before long, Sirius and the others were beaten so badly they could not get back up.
Attacks imbued with Haki and attacks without Haki were completely different things. Even though Teacher King had not used much strength, the damage when his blows landed was tremendous.
If Devil Fruits were miraculous powers manifested by devils, then Haki was the power that allowed ordinary people to defy fate!
