"I... I can't die!"
A hysterical roar of terror erupted like thunder.
Jet-black Armament Haki rapidly spread across Jack's tusks.
In an instant, they gave off an indestructible, metallic feel.
Faced with the plain, unadorned punch rushing at him, only two images flashed through Jack's mind.
First, he would use the sturdiest part of his body and reinforce his defenses with Armament Haki, fighting for a sliver of hope.
The second image was an extremely blurry, bloody scene.
It was also the source of the terror Jack felt.
At that moment, the only thing left in Jack's world was the fist rapidly enlarging in his pupils.
As Armament Haki completely covered his sharp, snow-white tusks—
Without a single flourish, Jack's massive body tensed all its muscles. He thrust out his waist and rammed his tusks head-on into the incoming fist.
In that instant, the first thought to flash through everyone's minds was that Qin Yu's fist would be pierced through by the tusks.
However, the moment that thought arose, it froze in place.
Bang!
The explosive collision boomed like thunder.
The incomparably sharp tusks, thrust forward with savage force, stalled for an instant upon colliding with the fist.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a nearly imperceptible web of cracks spread across them.
Crack!
As the sound of breaking rang out, the tusks that had seemed indestructible beneath their coating of Armament Haki exploded into fragments before everyone's eyes.
Before anyone could react, that plain, unadorned fist carried a piercing howl through the air as it smashed into Jack's millstone-sized cheek.
His solid skull caved in at once.
As the violent force of the punch erupted, every obstacle in its path was swept away by the crushing shockwave as though it were made of paper.
Boom!
Another explosion rang out.
