Armament Haki Derivative Ability
The entire sky was battered by wind and rain, with flashes of lightning sweeping across the dark clouds as if they were about to collapse.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, a meteor plummeted, and in an instant, mountains crumbled and the earth split open, the entire ground rapidly rising, tearing out ravines and gullies.
Bending over and coughing up blood, Ye Chen climbed out of the pit again, his hair disheveled and looking rather unwell.
The figure slowly floated up, raised its head, wiped the blood from its mouth, looked indifferently at Garp, who was as hot as a furnace, and clenched its fist.
"Don't you need your abilities?"
He landed gracefully, and Garp looked somewhat disheveled.
Without uttering a word, the smoke around Ye Chen grew heavier and heavier until he vanished from his spot and reappeared directly beside Garp. He then swept his right foot across the ground, creating a sonic boom.
His pupils contracted; the immense threat made Garp act without hesitation, instantly coating his entire body with Armament Haki.
"Boom boom boom"
It rose up, and the scene fell silent. A pitch-black mushroom cloud gradually rose from the ground, forming a halo, and swept across the earth with unstoppable force.
His figure flew backward, and amidst this immense force, Garp's feet sank deep into the ground, his hands raised in front of his face, yet he was only pushed back ten meters.
Keep in mind that this was the epicenter of the explosion; the terrifying Shockwave alone was enough to turn everything into ruins, not to mention the damage and temperature generated by the explosion itself.
Standing on the ground, Ye Chen's right foot, surrounded by smoke and sparks, gradually healed.
His eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Garp.
Clad in a dark blue robe, his entire body resembling ancient bronze, exuding an aura of hardness, Garp steadied himself, his body radiating a mist of energy, seemingly unharmed.
This is the hardest armor imaginable; clearly, Garp's Armament Haki has reached the highest level.
It can freely switch between defense and attack. For example, right now, Garp has changed his Armament Haki form, which includes his entire body. It's like an impenetrable armor, and even if Ye Chen explodes, it can neutralize most of it.
The other most basic application is its offensive power.
With Garp's current Armament Haki, he can freely change the shape of an object. For example, a wooden stick can be transformed into a longsword, spear, halberd, fan, or any other weapon if Garp wishes, forming an effective attack.
Yes, even a leaf in Garp's hands can be transformed into a weapon with tremendous destructive power.
This is the application of the most basic abilities of Armament Haki: defense and attack.
These abilities can only be fully realized when one cultivates to a high level.
Compared to Garp's overwhelming Armament Haki, Ye Chen was still somewhat lacking, at most only at the intermediate level or above, but below the advanced level, and couldn't possibly cause him any harm.
Clearly, Garp hadn't used his full Armament Haki earlier in order to guard against Ye Chen's abilities.
Ye Chen let out a soft breath, his expression somewhat solemn, but even so, so what?
The ground exploded, and Ye Chen vanished from his spot. At the same time, Garp also disappeared from the ground, his dark blue Armament Haki disappearing and condensing into his right fist, transforming from defense into a terrifying attack.
"Boom"
Looking up from a high vantage point, you'll see two figures walking close to the ground. The next second, Meteorite collide, and a dark blue fist and a fist shrouded in gunpowder smoke slam heavily together.
The explosion was devastating.
Covering his entire body, Garp forcefully resisted the chaotic power, pierced through the smoke, and slammed his left fist, veins bulging, down at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's right hand was still recovering and he couldn't use its abilities, but he still had his left hand, which was also fully Armament Haki, and he clashed heavily with Garp once again.
A massive wave swept away the smoke from the previous explosion, revealing the chaos at the center. With only one hand and two feet remaining, Ye Chen was still locked in a fierce battle with Garp.
"Boy, it seems you've made up for your weakness quite well. If it were Kizaru, I would have captured him by now."
Garp sighed. Although Ye Chen's abilities were strong, he had a necessary flaw: if one part of his body exploded, he couldn't explode a second time until it recovered. But this guy had managed to make up for this huge flaw perfectly with his physical skills.
So what if he can't use his abilities? Ye Chen has physical skills and Armament Haki, enough to stall until the next explosion.
If it were Kizaru, he'd probably be on the receiving end of a beating, unlike Ye Chen, who, even without using his abilities, managed to maintain his balance under Garp's relentless attacks, having enough time to recover his powers and even manage a counterattack.
The impact to his knee caused Ye Chen to feel as if all the tendons in his leg had gone numb, and the pain was unbearable.
Without answering Garp's question, Ye Chen turned to the side, his left leg and the area below his thigh emitting smoke and flames. This time, Garp's expression changed.
Because, according to his Observation Haki, the power of this explosion was definitely stronger than the last one.
"Boom boom boom"
The earth shook violently, sweeping everything away. Centered on the two people, a vast desert was formed, and countless mangroves and towns were wiped out.
Some spectators, unable to escape in time, were engulfed and disappeared into the black smoke.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago trembled at that moment.
He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground. Blood trickled from the corner of Garp's mouth, but he disappeared directly into the crater and rushed into the billowing smoke. Ye Chen was at his weakest moment. If he waited for the next explosion and the cycle continued, unless Ye Chen ran out of energy, he might die here today.
In an instant, amidst the flames and smoke, the sounds of fighting echoed once more in the chaotic storm, and gusts of wind began to swirl and carry the smoke as they passed by.
"Plop, click"
Spitting out blood, Ye Chen's chest caved in slightly as he flew out of the smoke, leaving a huge crack in the ground before crashing into the ruins.
As he plummeted downwards, immense air pressure descended, and his face was covered in blood. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and rolled to the side. Instantly, hills rose from the ground, and Garp's right foot sank deep into the earth as he chased after Ye Chen once more.
At this time, Ye Chen's left foot had recovered most of its strength.
"Fist Bone - Meteor"
A terrifying force shattered the atmosphere, Sisi flames erupted from Garp's right fist, piercing towards Ye Chen like a meteor.
"You old fool, I'll settle this score with you another time."
For the first time, a fierce glint appeared on his usually indifferent face. His left foot had just healed, and Ye Chen's entire body suddenly swelled up, sending chills down one's spine. Garp's eyes narrowed.
"Boom boom boom"
The earth lost its color, and a beam of white light radiated out, causing a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high to rise, as if squeezed by a giant hand, and spread rapidly.
Blinding light formed two halos, cracks began to appear in the surrounding atmosphere, and violent forces tore everything apart. A meteorite collided with the Earth, and the massive storm was beyond description.
Everything fell silent.
The onlookers were either too weak to withstand the shockwave or too powerful to move away. Some, sensing something was wrong, managed to escape. However, the explosion of Ye Chen's entire body was far too devastating.
One-sixth of the Sabaody Archipelago was transformed into a large crater, filled by the sea, creating a breach.
If you climb to a high vantage point and look out, you'll see the vast Sabaody Archipelago, which looks like it's been bitten by a dog, with one corner in ruins.
In this explosion, countless lives were lost, because Ye Chen had wiped out one-sixth of the Sabaody Archipelago.
