No one had expected a confrontation like this. They had seen swords, guns, cannons, and abilities before, but they had never seen Haki clash against Haki, because such a confrontation was almost meaningless. "Nine-two-zero." Conqueror's Haki was nearly useless against those who possessed Conqueror's Haki, and it had only a negligible effect on powerful experts with exceptionally strong spirits and wills. Yet when Haki and killing intent of different natures collided, something like this actually happened. This kind of clash between Hakis was the most dangerous thing in the world.
A flock of seagulls flying several thousand meters in the sky had been traveling from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World. Perhaps they had dreams of their own: building nests in the New World, thriving there, and striving to become the Seagull Kings of the New World. But life was unpredictable, and so were gulls. Just a trace of the white Conqueror's Haki that leaked out made those seagulls lose consciousness and fall unconscious. Pilots flying several thousand meters up had passed out without turning on autopilot, and they all fell onto the Red Line like raindrops, smashed to pieces.
"Boom..." At last, the white tide of Haki stabilized, and they all withdrew their Haki.
They had finally endured the explosive tide of Conqueror's Haki. Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. What had just happened was truly terrifying, even more frightening than real blades and bullets. They could all feel the danger of having their consciousness erased in an instant. It was horrifying. Even thinking back on it now made their bodies tremble.
Then they suddenly remembered Chen Fan, who had been at the center of the explosion. That man was truly terrifying. He had faced the strongest people in the entire world alone.
