Facing Roya's lightning-fast assault.
Magellan had learned his lesson this time. He immediately used his Awakened Venom-Venom Fruit power to create a shield before him, while coating the venom shield with Armament Haki.
Otherwise, venom created by the Venom-Venom Fruit alone could easily be shattered by Roya's fist, which was likewise coated in Armament Haki.
Yet it had managed to block Roya's attack at just the right moment.
After all, Roya and Magellan had already exchanged dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of blows. Both sides had more or less grasped the other's fighting style.
"Not bad."
"Magellan, you really are strong!"
"But do you think something like this can stop me?"
Roya smiled faintly, his fist still pressed against the venom shield.

Roya's arm exerted force once more, and immense Armament Haki erupted in an instant.
"What..."
Magellan's eyes widened, and he had not even had time to react.
Boom...
A dull impact rang out.
Magellan's mouth fell open as his massive body bent forward.
Roya's projected Armament Haki had pierced straight through the venom shield Magellan had created, and the force of that powerful Haki struck directly into Magellan's abdomen.

After all, when Kaido had been brought in back then, the hideous wound on his body had been unforgettable.
Even so.
Magellan refused to admit defeat. He still wanted to do everything in his power to keep Roya here.
"Roya! I don't care how strong you are! As long as I'm still standing here, don't even think about
