Dawn's wave-like assault continued, and he had not even used any techniques.
He simply kept smashing down with his monstrous strength, while Vergo had no room to counterattack and could only struggle to hold on.
Finally, taking advantage of the differing directions of their weapon clash, Vergo managed to pull some distance away with this strike.
The black bamboo spun rapidly in his hand. Empowered by centrifugal force, Vergo viciously hurled it at Dawn.
"Ghost Bamboo!"
For this blow, he even canceled the Armament Haki covering his body and concentrated all his Haki into this attack. He was even willing to take Dawn's attack head-on for it!
"Crack! Crack-crack!!"
The point of impact gave off the sound of shattering glass, filling Vergo with a terrible premonition. When he saw the translucent construct in midair break apart like glass, despair welled up in his heart.
His attack had actually failed to break through the opponent's defense.
But he had no time to think of anything else. Accompanied by the crunch of shattering bone, Vergo's left shoulder was pulverized with a single blow, as easily as crushing an eggshell.
Then Dawn twisted his spear. As Vergo staggered and tried to steady himself, the sharp spearhead, spinning with terrifying force, pierced straight through Vergo's chest!
When Vergo tried to resist, the spear shaft inside his body transformed. Countless Haki-coated blades burst forth from within Vergo's body once more!
"Space Domain: Pole Insertion Technique!"
"Thud!"
The heavy body collapsed onto the ground. Blood continuously spilled from Vergo's mouth, and fragments of internal organs seeped from the countless bloody holes covering his body.
"Young... Master..."
"You really are loyal," Dawn said, resting both hands on the spear laid behind his neck as he looked at Vergo. "Then I'll gladly accept this generous package of experience."
