Not only Haki had been datafied; people's vitality had been quantified as well.
At first, Mousse had not been able to determine what the vitality stat represented. After all, vitality did not have characteristics as obvious as Haki, and even once Observation Haki had been datafied, it would not automatically label the different information it perceived.
Since contestants with high vitality stats generally possessed strong Combat Power, and Observation Haki was commonly believed to be able to judge a target's strength, Mousse had initially mistaken it directly for Combat Power.
It was not until a hulking giant over seven meters tall stepped onto the arena that Mousse realized he had made an assumption.
Through Observation Haki, Mousse sensed that the man's "Combat Power" was as high as four or five thousand, more than twice that of his opponent. He immediately felt that the outcome was certain, but that thought had barely formed before it was brutally disproven.
The massive giant truly possessed tremendous strength, but his oversized, bloated body meant he could neither hit his quick and agile opponent nor evade the swordsman's Flying Slashes. Before long, he had been slashed all over, covered in blood, and severely wounded before collapsing to the ground.
